"Oh man...well, if you stood on my shoulders, you might be able to reach it still." Sal grinned, looking down at Arte following her snort of laughter. "I'm glad it seems like you're having fun." He said to her.

“I’m pretty tall on my own so maybe.” Arte laughed before pinking more at the acknowledgment. She nodded, a little self conscious again in a sobering moment of remembering herself. “I am.” She admitted.

“Are you having a good enough time you might let me take you out again?” Sal dared to ask.

Arte seemed surprised at the question, blinking up at him when he asked.

“You want to go out again?” She asked. While the night seemed to go well and she was having fun, she wasn’t certain if he was. Arte assumes he’d been on many dates before, most probably more eventful and with prettier girls. It wouldn’t have surprised her if he only wanted to hang out as friends after this.

Sal laughed when he saw Arte's surprised expression.

"Yeah, of course I do. Only if you want to, that is." He grinned.

“Sure, but, you really want to go out again? You had fun?” She interrogated with furrowed brows.

"Yeah, I had lots of fun. Believe it or not, I actually like you, Arte." Sal teased. "But maybe we can do something that you like next time. I heard there's that body exhibit at the museum right now. You know, the one with all the veins and nervous systems shown off? Maybe your mom can rope Damien in to help her out one afternoon or something. Coffee and a museum date?"

“Yeah, that sounds really nice actually.” Arte smiled softly, because it did. It was exactly something she’d want to do if she could choose how to spend the day.

"Okay, I'll talk to Missus Laughlin tomorrow when she comes to the shop." Sal grinned a smile that was clearly his mother's, broad and cheerful with little dimples pressing inwards on his cheeks.

They made it to the Laughlin townhouse and despite having talked about hoisting Arte up through a window, Sal helped her up the stairs of the front stoop and to the door where he paused. He made good on his word to Roxanne and brought Arte home at a reasonable enough hour and though it was certainly not buzzing with a ton of activity, Sal could hear that someone was still up and watching TV in the front room. He let go of Arte and stepped back, only to grab one of her hands in both of his.

"I had a really nice night, Arte." He smiled before giving a little wink. "You're not as bad of a dancer as you make yourself out to be." He added.

Once again, Arte flushed when Sal took both of her hands in his. Her fingers were long and pale but felt even smaller in his, which always made her feel more aware of herself. Sal was a lot bigger than her, not necessarily in height (though he was one of the few men she encountered that was taller than her). But she was definitely petite, thin and reed like next to his trunk like frame.

“T-thanks.” She nodded, thin lipped and a little flustered.

Sal chuckled at Arte's flustered expression and though that would certainly be enough for some people, Sal and the rest of the Castillo-Mehtevas kids were all bold and a bit arrogant, even, and perhaps especially, in their romantic pursuits. Before he released Arte for the night, he raised her hand to his lips and placed a soft, lingering peck to the back of her hand.

"I'll see you tomorrow?" He grinned at her passed her knuckles.

Arte felt the hair on the back of her neck bristle, as she managed a little nod.

“Yeah..See you tomorrow.” She answered.

Sal let go of Arte's hands then and gave her one last grin before hopping down the steps and heading off into the night, cheeks warm with elation and a heart bounding with giddiness.

Arte stood there for a moment, her knees a little weak from his stupid grin and the kiss on her hand. Her face was still red but she tried to manage some sort of sobering control.

“Get home safe!” She yelled after him, mostly because she didn’t know what to say and only that she was wanted to say something. After yelling and feeing suitably flustered and embarrassed, she fumbled with her keys to let herself in.

It had been two and a half weeks since Arte’s first date with Sal, verging on three weeks. The date went really well, it was fun and Arte tried new things. But it wasn’t until the little kiss on the back of her hand that it felt really real. The following days solidified things as well, confirming what Sal had been saying all along, that he actually liked her. At work, Arte wasn’t expecting affectionate touches at work. It wasn’t anything crazy, the brushing of hips and arms comfortably, in close quarters. He would pet her hair, brushing strands out of her face. Each small touch gave Arte butterflies, her face bright pink on her alabaster skin. She found the small touches we’re keeping her up at night, remembering the feeling of his arms close to hers, his breath on her skin. Their happenings leaving her excited and embarrassed.

But the day had finally come when Damian was available and willing to take Arte’s shift at the shop. Arte was standing outside an agreed upon coffee shop, waiting for Sal. Today she dressed herself, or at least to the best of her ability with some guidance from Lucinda over FaceTime. She was wearing a collared shirt, it was a striped crop top that didn’t threaten to expose her midriff too badly, showing mostly her back if she were to bend down. No dress or skirts today, instead the same boots from last time and a pair of her normal baggy jeans. An elevated version of her normal style, or at least elevated in the sense that the shirt was fitted.

She was a little early, her own fault of course. But still she anxiously glanced at her wrist watch, rocking idly on her heels as she did so. She’d brought her book bag, which it often went with her most places. Inside it was her normal medical textbooks and notebooks, and, the book Sal gifted her.
