He lifted one eyebrow when LizBeth replied to his question. He truly had been curious to hear why she'd agreed to come out with him. After all, their first encounter had been... well, different was a description that came to mind. "Intrigue... I like that," he replied with a crooked grin. He also liked the idea of keeping her well and truly on those pretty little toes.
"I am sure I can deal with that," he replied. No way would he even consider backing down from anyone... least of all a person he knew could - had? - become a friend. Felipe had been able to see past her attitude and into the lonely girl behind... just as he'd done with Jessica and Reese. All three girls were worlds apart by way of their backgrounds and yet the similarities were astonishing... not that any single one of them would agree. They weren't viewing things from his standpoint, though.
"No, I know I can deal with it," he amended and he reached out to cover her hand with his... albeit briefly. A certain look of uncertainty had flittered across her face and he knew she wanted him to persevere... probably almost as much as HE wanted to!
He scooped up a morsel of their shared antipasto. "Are you sure you can handle me, though?" he countered and with a grin he ate the melon and prosciutto. Felipe wasn't particularly easy either... On the surface perhaps he seemed that way but... Evan and Patch possibly knew otherwise... as did Aly...

Fefe had reached out, resting his strng hand along her soft one, and she smiled. Liz was used to being touched, most guys wanted to touch her in one way or another. Hell they'd be stupid not to. She was gorgeous, young and very wealthy. However, Felipe's gentle touch sent a shiver down her back, and that was something a little new. "Good.." She told him, glad that he could deal with her being interested in him.
Her lips curled into a challenging sort of smile. "Trust me..when I want to handle something, there is nothing that can stop me.." She replied, also taking another bite of the antipasto and sliding it into her mouth, slowly licking her fingers clean. "So..let's turn the question around...why did you ask me out tonight?" She asked him. "You know what I'm like...so do tell..."

Felipe found himself looking forward to finding out just how LizBeth intended to handle him and he threw her a grin across the table. She was an expert in the art of double meanings for sure! “Did I ask you out? Pretty sure you asked me,” he replied. Stalling for time? Maybe... Just a little. Her gentle kick against his shin told him she knew exactly who had done any asking... as did Felipe, to be honest.
“At first I admit I asked you out as a sort of a challenge. I mean, I didn’t think you would actually want to be seen talking with someone like me... let alone go out on a date. But... I guess I could also sense you really needed a friend - whether you will ever admit that or not,” he added a laugh for good measure.
“But then when you walked downstairs back at your house... I knew the real reason why I asked you out. You looked... well, the only word that I think can describe you is breath-taking. No... even that doesn’t come close,” Felipe continued with a slight shake of his head. “Como uma princesa do conto de fadas. Mágico. A princess from a fairytale. I think that’s the right word. Fairytale? Like a made up story, right? Are you... ah... are you glad I asked you out?”
