Date: 31 October 1997
Characters: Roger, Melinda
Location: Melinda's flat
Status: Private; IM to join
Summary: Roger's decided to seduce Mel. Maybe.
Completion: Incomplete

Roger groaned as he rolled over in Mel's bed. Well, it wasn't really Mel's bed, not in that sense. It was more like her guest bedroom. He had yet to manage to actually make it to her bed. Not that he was trying, but that was really beside the point. He was already abusing her kindness, anything else and Roger would probably feel bad. Deciding that he was going to make it up to her today; it was Halloween after all, and she surely deserved a celebration. Rolling out of bed, Roger made it over to the shower. Following his shower, Roger quickly towelled off and pulled on a pair of boxer shorts before going to find Melinda.

Walking out into the living room, Roger grinned as he spotted Mel hunched over the cooker. Walking up behind her, he grinned and slid his arms around her waist. "Something smells good," he murmured with a smile as he leaned in and placed a kiss on the base of her neck. "Whatever you're making does too."

Melinda was turning over the eggs in the fry-up when she felt arms slide around her waist. Roger had been staying with her since that awful break-in at his place, and she really couldn't blame him a bit. It was rather nice having a roommate, too, which she wouldn't have guessed. It was lonelier at her place than she realized, she guessed, even if she had to give up her spare room as a guest bedroom.

Breath catching in her throat, because if there was one place being kissed that turned her knees to jelly, it was her neck, and the fact that it was Roger ... well, that only made things worse. She hadn't ever noticed how affectionate he was until he was there all the time. It was especially true in the mornings, but this was the first kiss on the neck. She swallowed.

"If you don't stop flirting with me, Roger, I'm going to think you actually mean it," she warned, turning in his arms a little to give him a look as she waved the wooden spoon at him.

It had been near on two weeks since Roger had all but moved in. He knew he should leave, allow Melinda to be alone, and head back to his own home. The fact of the matter was, he really liked staying with her, it was far better than staying by himself. Besides her place was so much cleaner than his own. It was almost like having a maid! The only slight draw back was the inability to bring birds home, but he hadn't really thought about that at all.

"And what if I do?" He asked with a grin as he leaned in and placed a kiss on the tip of her nose. "Come on, I'm not that bad, am I?" He asked as he gave her another grin followed by a wink.

	Melinda wrinkled her nose at him, finally giving up on trying to one-up him. "Uh huh, if only I could wear that every day, I'd have loads of blokes following me around at work." She probably would, too. The blokes in the MLE were all a bunch of pervs, she was pretty sure. "Anyway, plans for the night? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"How do you know? You haven't met them, have you? There's some rather nice blokes in the MLE, actually," she said. And she supposed there were, somewhere. They were all too serious for her, though. "We? And no, no plans. Figured I'd stay in, actually." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Melinda's eyes widened a bit. "Any suggestions on who I should make time for then? It's not as if blokes are beating down the door," she pointed out. "Party sounds good." She'd planned out a costume, though she hadn't made it yet. "And mostly because there weren't any invitations. Things are ... strange now." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Melinda snorted - an entirely inelegant sound. "Right," she said, shaking her head. Her smile faded at his words. "Oh, yeah, um ... are you sure you want to? I mean, it'd be - are the wards up again and all? Do you want to live there still? You could find someplace else." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
