Human

Chapter 4: Carried away

Steven and Gina had finished their food and decided to take a walk around the area. Steven was the one who insisted to accompany her, due to her suspicious commentaries, and neither of then really minded the company of the other.

They were in a small town and the weather was perfect to be outside, not too far from them, there was a small park where stay. The place was almost empty since it was a weekday but the beautiful plants and soft breeze made a nice atmosphere nonetheless.

Steven really enjoyed calm places like this, where he enjoyed himself and he couldn't help but notice the different flora he didn't know.

"So... Haven't you really take a look at the town, yet? You seem easily amused " Gina noticed Steven wandering tourist's eyes.

"I just arrived last night, I haven't had time. The park is nice, and I love to explore." Steven smile forgetting for some time everything ad focusing on the wonderful view he had before himself. Gina found his smile breathtaking, and she wanted more of it.

"Really? Then this is nothing. This town may be small but there some fun places to go to if you know were to look. I have been here a couple of times, and I know my ways. Still I rather larger Cities, they are more interesting. Have you been to Baltimore?" She walked a little before finding a cozy spot in a big tree.

"Yeah, I have, but I didn't really like it. I prefer small towns. They are simpler and calmer. Everybody seems happier and there is nothing to worry about. In the bigger cities, everybody is always rushing to someplace and stressing themselves. I didn't like that atmosphere so I didn't stay for long" Steven calmly sat beside her.

"You only need to learn how to move on those places. It takes some time but is totally worth it. I have been in Maryland, Washinton, Filadelfia, Baltimore, Boston even New York. You get to know so many different people" Gina talked full of illusion, remembering her own little adventures.

"If they had time to stop talking, I would get to know someone" Steven bitterly muttered.

"Don't be so resentful about that." Gina playfully punched his arm, surprising Steven. It has been quite a long time since he had interacted with someone like this "They're just adulting too hard. Hey, Maybe I can help you with that. I'm an expert at befriending "

"Would you that for me?"Steven searched, for a hint of doubt in her face, but for his amazement, he couldn't find any.

"Of course. After all, everything is easier of you have company. I may travel alone but I hate to be lonely and can make myself some time. I can move some activities or ..." The girl was getting excited about the idea of having a new companion, even if it was for a little time.

Steven chuckled.

"I can accompany you to your jobs if you don't mind. I have planned the places I go to but I can't really plan my activities in each city. I only go with the flow until I have to go" Steven couldn't help but find her excitement contagious and rather cute. Maybe a change of pace would make him some good.

"Really? I WOULD LOVE to have someone with me. It would make everything more interesting, and we could make so much together. I would have someone to talk to and have a second opinion and..." Gina started rambling while she thinking of all the possibilities she could do with him. Surely she had companions along her journey before but Steven was different.

She had a strong admiration for the hybrid for quite a long time.
"You make "adulting" actually sound fun," Steven said interrupting her rambling.

"And its something everybody has to do sometime anyway, so better do it enjoyable."She shrugged. Then she suddenly turned her body to face him. She playfully smiled "Hey, You wanna play or somethin' ?"
