Near Vine Square, lunch-hour, Del OTA
Del had needed to get out of the lab. He had treated a set of mahogany dining chairs with pesticide and the fumes had made his head spin even through the mask. So he put on his coat and wrapped his scarf around his neck and braved the cold windyness of the day.

It was pretty miserable actually. He liked the long hot summer nights – hated the dreary days of winter. What he wouldn’t give for a little bit of sunshine!

No sooner had the thought crossed his mind than a photograph of a sundrenched beach caught his eye and he stopped to look in the window of one of the many travel agencies.

“Hmm, special offers?” he breathed. “Whoa, six nights in Key West. I could handle that.”

	"Could handle what?" Eris, who happened to have been heading for the museum for a visit, had spotted Del across the street and stepped up beside him - the heat she generated spilling around him as well. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Del groaned with pleasure and turned towards her basking in her presence. "I was thinking I need a holiday," he said with a grin. "A week in the sun with few clothes and no responsibilities. I was just looking at that one for Key West." He touched her cheek with cold fingers. "We don't all have our own central heating." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eris's eyes lit up and she curled warm hands around his fingers. "Funny. I was just saying that to Adam the other day. That I needed a vacation with sun and no clothes. Fancy a week away together?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Del made a goggle-eyed face at her. "No clothes at all? Well, count me in. Where'd you want to go, though?" He couldn't help feeling just a tad apprehensive because he knew that Eris had expensive tastes and while florida or the Caribbean were possible the Maldives or Seychelles would be out of his price range.

	Eris shrugged, slipping her arms around his waist and fitting herself against him. "Caribbean?" she suggested? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hmmm?" Del pretended to consider then nodded slowly. He opened his coat and wrapped it around her. "You, me, beach, rum, and a whole week to explore the possibilities. I bet," he said, "I bet you have a red bikini. Red is SO your colour." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Why yes, as a matter of fact I do," she said, snuggling close, her warmth quickly filling up the inside of the coat. "Mmmm when can we go?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Got an exhibition to prepare for next week and putting it up the week after," Del said. "But once that is done I could take some time. Weekend after Easter? Would that be long enough for you to prepare your bits and pieces?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_kel 2008-03-10 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	She smiled. "Honey I don't have anything to prepare. Half the time I go on trips and just buy a new wardrobe while I'm there and don't even bother packing. But I'll do it the old fashioned way and pack and plan and find us a suitably secluded resort where they don't mind if you wear nothing at all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Del chuckled. "Don't worry on my account. I can fit everything I need in my pockets." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Then talk to your boss and find out for sure when you can take the time off and we'll go," she said. "I'll find us a good place." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Brrrrrrilliant," Del purred and looked down at her with a slow smile. "That'll give me something to dream about. So - lunch? Can I get you something?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mm_kel 2008-03-11 07:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Sure," she purred back, hands beginning to wander under his coat. "I can think of a few things you could get me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Like het up?" Del asked and cast an eye down the street. There was one hotel there that, he knew, let rooms by the hour. It was pretty dreadful but his lab wasn't the most salubrious place either. "Alternatively I could drop by tonight with sushi?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Mmm I like that better. Not that I'm opposed to lunch time quickies but," and she rose up on tip toe to whisper in his ear, "you wouldn't be much use at work when I was done with you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Del made goggly eyes at her. "Sure of herself? Not much." He chuckled. "Okay, show me this evening. I'll ask the boss for the vacation AND tell him I might be late tomorrow." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good. Now let's get some lunch." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Del turned and, with Eris still wrapped in half his coat, headed for the nearest delicatessen. Lunch with a beautiful woman - with a holdiay to look forward to. Suddenly life was looking better. (Reply to this) (Parent)
