Get on the fucking bike, Athena! [Gabe]

"Of course! Even with the helmet on, I wouldn't want you to get hurt in any sort of way. " Gabe would say, giving Athena his word that he would remain focused and make sure to put on the breaks really hard if they seemed to be heading straight to a tree. However, deep down inside, Gabe doubted that Athena was an incompetent woman He was sure that she would pick up on it eventually. As a matter of fact. "Wow...that was a lot quicker than I expected. You are picking up on this nicely.." Gabe would say as he praised her in a kind tone. " You are doing well Athena, but we should keep going even more. Once you got a taste of it, you should know what to do now. " Gabe was excited now as he pointed ahead.

"E-even more? I don't know if it will be as... graceful as this. Honestly I wouldn't want to end this practice with a failure." Despite her protests Athena decided not to press the matter. "However if you so insist I guess I could try to ride for another round just don't wait too much from me." Athena added before she put the feet back on the pedal. Just like she said this attempt wasn't as flawless as the previous, still it was better than her first attempt. Even when she lost her focus and slipped slightly to the side she reacted quickly enough to regain her balance without needing Gabe to save her.

She spoke again once the round had ended. "Told you didn't I? Miracles only happen once." Even so the model looked very pleased with her performance. After all before that day she couldn't even stay on a bike for more than a few seconds, now she could ride one, not as gracefully as she wished but it was still a feat she could be proud of. "Still I want to thnak you for teaching me the basics. It wouldn't be so bad to ride again someday. Perhaps even get separate bikes."

He watched from behind as she continued her attempts. What was it that he loved about her in this very moment? Was it the fact that she entertained Gabe with this gesture? Or is it the fact that she didn't give up no matter what? Either way, Gabe watched on with a silly grin on his face, something that hasn't really been seen from him with his usual cool and calculated demeanor. It fluctuates from time to time, and his moods take a different form, but a sense of delight was a rarity.

"I beg to differ, miracles are reoccurring. Everything around us is a grace, even this moment we are having now. Sure, you didn't seem too into it at first...." Gabe then edged over and softly kissed Athena on the neck. The way his lips were slowly and softly placed on her neck was definitely a different side of affection he showed before. " To live for moments like this..to spend it with people you care about...not so bad..right?"

Athena felt her hair rising as Gabe's hot lips connected to her neck, her face felt much warmer than before. The girl took a moment before she replied to her boyfriend to avoid having her voice sound weird or reveal more base emotions. "It is rather nice..." She said while looking at her feet. Romantic relationships like that were completely alien to her, still it shouldn't be hard for her to get used to Gabe's honest affections. "Today was a good day...thank you" Athena added before she leaned closer to him, maybe this time this whole romance thing was going to work, for the first time it felt right
