Date Night
Who: Erika & Chris When: 6 pm-ish Where: Erika's Place Barely conscious enough to add a warning: NSFW
After their lovely picnic in the storm and their subsequent activities in the back of her van, they'd agreed to get together again the following day for a movie night. Somewhere warm dry and comfortable, this time. Since the weather was being disgruntled, the drive-in wasn't an option. A quick check on the Internet determined that the local cinema didn't have anything they really wanted to see.
"How about a movie at your place?" Chris had suggested, and to seal the deal, he said, "I'll bring take-out."
And so it was that at six-ish, Chris arrived at Erika's place with four, large bags of Chinese food in the passenger seat beside him. He pulled the Thunderbird up near the garage and close enough to a door that the bags wouldn't get very wet.
He didn't care if he did.
Maybe I was a water elemental in a previous life, he mused as he opened the car door. A breeze swirled around him, playing with his hair. He hoped that was a sign of good things to come. Was it serious? Not yet. They were two people who enjoyed one another's company, that's all. He told himself that as he moved to the passenger side and leaned in for the bags.
