"I just tried it and actually took to it pretty instantly. I cant say I get it as often as I would like though.. Theres this awesome hibachi place close by home we sometimes all meet up at and they have the most amazing sushi.. hell and just amazing food.. so what im hearing is.. I totally have to take your dad on a sushi date to be in the in?" He said with a small chuckle.
"God if I know, wine is usually not my cup of tea..but I feel like a hard drink would be reaaally inappropriate...I dont think one or two of the guys has forgiven me for giving them absinthe." He chuckled gently.
"Ok so this is a weird story. I've got on a few dates, only one a person, never got past them really.. So her name was Amanda.. Amanda...King? I think something like that. She asked for my brother to set me up with her because she liked my music so we go out to dinner and shes got this huge purse with her..And she pulls out WEDDING DRESS swatches and starts asking me what fabric I like best before the drinks even get there. App time rolls around and shes asking what color tie I'll be wearing. I'm sitting there trying to nice because.. I had never met this girl before.. Turns out her dads a cop. So shes going on and on about our kids names. our wedding.. and how shes gonna clean me up really nice and I'll be like her dad and become a cop." He shuddered at the thought of the date, though he was clearly amused.
"So we make it through the date and I am totally thinking if I give this girl a ride home shes gonna like break my legs and keep me captive.. So I faked like my bike had an issue and had her call her sister for a ride.. I had 23 calls the next morning before ten thirty. I ended up getting a restraining order against her. That was like seven months ago? I've changed my number like three times."

"It couldn't hurt." She said with a playful smile when he asked about her dad. "Honestly, as long as show him that you love me and that you can take care of me then you'll be in." She told him reassuringly, though her dad would be a bit harder to win over than her mom she had no doubt that her family would just love Alex.
She listened to the story with wide, shocked eyes. "What!? That blows my mind! How could anyone actually do that?! That's like something you'd see in a movie but I'd never expect to happen in real life!" She shook her head but also looked a little worried about the restraining order. "Should I keep my eye out for her? Do you think she'll come back around? Does she still try to contact you despite the restraining order?" She asked curiously and a bit nervously. Would this Amanda person come after her once she found out that her and Alex were together?

He laughed at her reaction to his horrible date. "Ok so that was my thought, like I was positive I stepped into a horror movie.. Like who does these things?" He laughed light heartedly. "Nah, I gave her number to one of the bouncers at a Bar I sometimes gig for, guys a dick. He's moving now. My next great plan is to give her number to Jerry, he's a guy that keeps stealing my gigs and he's kinda a dick, the plan is to slide him her number, she will go postal code crazy on him, he will try to sleep with her and leave. She will break his legs and hold him hostage for the rest of his life and I will be free to enjoy my gigs and my Amanda free life." He said this plan like it was the most clever thing he had ever come up with.
"I'm sure we'll be fine.. I talked to my neighbors and after some bribery no one will unlock the front door for her.. I live in a place with a locked door and a box. I have a fancy little blue tag on my keys for it. She can't get in unless someone lets her in and she hasn't come near me in like..two? months."

Cleo chuckled and looked quite satiated. "Okay, well that's good." She said with relief. "I can't believe you had to deal with someone so crazy. I'm a little surprised you even wanted to jump into this whole thing? Weren't you a little...I don't know, worried that it would all blow up in your face somehow?" She asked curiously. "What made you decide to join the show?"

He laughed softly at her reaction to all of it. It was better than he expected. "I dunno I guess it just.. Didn't phase me as much as it should have? Like I am totally the person to double text and I guess I'll probably call ya twice before you call me back? So like while it was weird I guess it just didn't really affect me. Not everyone's like that." He said with a small shrug.
"Yes and No? Like I pretty much thought I was going home alone from this whole thing.. A lot of the other guys just have more to offer someone and I know thats not everything.. but it is certainly something... As far as me deciding on it? I dunno.. I guess taking the face to face stuff out of it made me think it would be easier? Really my brother pushed me to do it. I went along with it because well...everyone wants someone don't they?"

Cleo listened attentively with a smile and nodded in understanding. "Yes, they do." She agreed. She knew of a couple of people who claimed to not need anyone or that they were happy alone, but it was never really true, not as much as they were convincing themselves it was. It's in human nature to want to connect with someone.
"To be honest there were definitely several times that I was sure I was going home alone too. I loved the idea of getting to know someone on a deeper level without being face to face, to discover a person for their heart instead of their face. But it was the fact that we were all dating the same people that made it really challenging. I didn't feel like I could compete with the other girls, who all seem way cooler and sexier than me. Which I guess was the point right? No one could see how beautiful Val is, but still..." She shook her head. "It was just really challenging."
But she smiled then at him and playfully bumped her foot against his under the table. "But it sure worked out in my favor in the end." She said to him adoringly. "I snagged myself a good one."

He felt happy, this was someone who he was certainly getting along well with and that was the most he could ask for in this sort of situation. He had always thought he would find someone this special one day but to have it actually happening was almost overwhelming sometimes.
"I just.. I didn't really click with any of the girls as well as other people did? It was sorta you and Val from day one that I liked..but Val was kinda different? It was like I found a really cool friend more than I found someone to spend my life with ya know? Like shes pretty I guess? I hardly notice anyone else when you're in the room." He said with a soft smile.
"Well you're stuck with me so I hope youre happy with me." He laughed softly as he gave her a smile. She was absolutely perfect.

Cleo blushed and looked shyly down to the table for a moment before meeting his gaze once more. "Honestly I still can't keep my eyes off of you." She admitted.
"Soooo," She said in an attempt to distracted herself from his devilishly good looks with conversation. "What is the first thing you want to do when we get back home?" She asked.
