Emma's Apt, Evening, Amos and Emma
Amos had wanted to come over as soon as Emma had gotten home, but figuring that would be beyond rude he refrained and managed to restrain himself long enough to give her a few days to settle back in and recuperate from her trip.

Surely now though she'd had enough time and he turned up on her doorstep with some rented DVDs, a still warm pizza, and a hopeful expression.

Emma had been wondering if she should call Amos, but she was then distracted by an article on the web when she logged on to see if he was there, and in reading about all the things going on forgot.

So when there was a knock on her door she looked up puzzled, as Lily raced for the front door yapping and wagging her tail. "Oh alright, since you told them we're home?" She grinned, and stood up, stretching slightly and wondering when it had gotten dark. Lights came on as she moved past switches heading for the front door. A quick peek through the peephole and she pulled the door open, "Amos! I was gonna call you, how was Christmas? Come in!"

	"Oh, you know. Best as can be expected seeing as how I couldn't spend it with you." He smiled charmingly and held up the pizza. "I come bringing pizza. Sorry they were out of frankincense." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Just so long as it's not got myrrh on it?" Emma laughed, "I don't think we should eat gold either, but hey, I have soda's and of course, mad dog!" Lily had tried to be good, but between seeing Amos and smelling pizza, she was definitely interested and starting to jump up demanding fuss and attention! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes, Lily, I see you," he called down to the dog. "No pizza for you, but if you're good I'll save you some pepperoni from my slice." "So," he said to Emma as he walked past her and toward the kitchen, stepping carefully so he didn't trod on the dog. "How was your Christmas?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Kind of chaotic? Alec's family are really nice, but, there are a hell of a lot of them, and they treated Ang like spun glass, which frustrated the hell out of her." Emma shook her head, as she closed the door and followed him into the kitchen, "The kids were nice though and the food was non-stop! But, the downside of that is I think I need to go on a diet I ate so much."

	He popped open the pizza box, the sent of melting cheese and cooked pepperoni wafting in her direction. "So, I should take this back then, huh?" he grinned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Er, you know what? NO!" Emma laughed, "I haven't eaten all day and I'm hungry, are those DVD's? Anything interesting?" She grabbed a couple of plates from the cupboard, "Do we need plates or shall we slob it and eat out of the box?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pups_dt 2009-01-04 04:08 pm UTC (link)
	"You have to eat pizza out of the box!" he insisted, snapping the lid closed lest she do something sacrilegious and put it on a plate. "The cardboard gives it flavor." "And yes," he tacked on as an afterthought. "DVDs. Picked up a couple of comedies. Do you like Adam Sandler?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sam_mm 2009-01-04 04:21 pm UTC (link)
	"OK, box it is!" The plates went back in the cupboard, "You want soda with that? And no, I don't recall watching any of his, but, then again I've not been big on movies the last couple of months, too much studying!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Glad to hear it," he smiled. "I think you'll like Click." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, let's go sit down and eat then huh?" Emma grinned, grabbing two soda's from the fridge and turning towards the lounge, "I'll let you set everything up? I'll just turn the TV on and grab the remotes?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pups_dt 2009-01-04 05:05 pm UTC (link)
	He balanced the pizza box on the palm of one hand, and swept his other hand toward the living room. "After you, ma'lady." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sam_mm 2009-01-04 05:21 pm UTC (link)
	Emma led the way into the lounge, and after turning on the TV, and picking up the remotes, she settled on the couch facing the TV. "So, do we want the blanket? It get's cold sometimes of an evening, I don't want it too hot, not good for my art materials." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pups_dt 2009-01-04 05:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Worse than the dorms?" he asked, eyebrow arched in surprise, as he set the pizza down on the coffee table. "I find that hard to believe." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sam_mm 2009-01-04 06:13 pm UTC (link)
	Emma shrugged, "If I'm moving about I don't notice it so much, and I have the heating on, just, rather lower than is comfortably warm." She chuckled, "The upside of that is that both Mr Cat and Lily spend a lot of time on my bed at night and I am so toasty then that it doesn't matter!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think the college is trying to cut costs by keeping the heating turned off." He popped open the DVD case and turned to the TV, poking at the DVD player. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Emma meanwhile pulled the blanket off the back of the sofa, and arranged it over her legs, leaving plenty for Amos to cover his legs with too. Then she opened her soda and the pizza box. She chuckled, wafting the scent towards her face, "Mmmm, this smells great, hurry up or there won't be any left?"

She picked up a slice and took a bite, trying to remember what she'd had for lunch.... oh, wait, she'd been too busy with her sketching to eat.

	He dropped the DVD into the open tray and set the case down on top of the TV before turning to dive back onto the couch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hey, careful!" Emma lifted the soda can high, managing just about to not spill any. She was laughing though, "Wow you can be energetic sometimes, so how is life in the dorms? Did you go home for Christmas? Or just hang out in college?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pups_dt 2009-01-05 12:38 pm UTC (link)
	He arranged his half of the blanket haphazardly over him and stretched out long, lanky legs until his feet disappeared under the coffee table. "Did the caroling thing with the family on Christmas Eve. Hope was home too. So we didn't sound nearly as horrible as I thought we would." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sam_mm 2009-01-05 01:03 pm UTC (link)
	"That's good, that things went well, and how is Hope? I kind of miss her being around you know? Is she doing ok?" Emma smiled, "And hey, can we eat now?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pups_dt 2009-01-05 01:15 pm UTC (link)
	"She's....tan," he nodded solemnly. "Pizza's right there, you can eat whenever you want." he chuckled, pointing to the box. "Or were you waiting for permission?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sam_mm 2009-01-05 01:40 pm UTC (link)
	"Hey, I was only waiting for you to be polite!" Emma poked him gently with one hand, chuckling as she set her soda down and grabbed for a slice of pizza. "Tanned hun? Lucky Hope!" She bit into the pizza slice, enjoying it a lot, as the DVD began to play. She did remember to swallow before speaking again though, "So, er, what is this film about then?"

He was pulling his own piece of pizza out of the box, fighting with cheesy strings that clung to the other pieces.

"Well, this guy goes to buy a universal remote for his various electronic devices and with the help of a mysterious salesman at the local Bed, Bath and Beyond he gets a universal remote that controls just that. The universe. He discovers that with this remote he can pause time, fast forward through things he doesn't like to do, mute people, etc. etc."

	"That sounds kind of interesting, is it funny though?" Emma wasn't kidding, she hadn't seen many movies for a while, and certainly not this one. she shifted slightly, snuggling up a bit more towards Amos, "I can't remember any Adam Sandler movies, what else was he in?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pups_dt 2009-01-05 02:20 pm UTC (link)
	He shifted unconsciously, moving the arm closest to Emma to the back of the couch, giving her more room. "Adam Sandler only does comedies. He starred in Mr. Deeds, Big Daddy, Little Nicky, 8 Crazy Nights, The Waterboy....and he's got a new one coming now, uh,...Bedtime Stories. Yeah, I think that's right." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sam_mm 2009-01-05 03:31 pm UTC (link)
	"Right," Emma shook her head slightly, "No idea about most of those, but I have to say I liked the trailer for Bedtime Stories." She bit into her pizza slice again, an almost too large bite, but then, she was hungry! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pups_dt 2009-01-05 03:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Well," he smiled and turned his head enough to look down at her. "If you like this one maybe we can go see it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sam_mm 2009-01-05 04:12 pm UTC (link)
	"That sounds good, but what if I don't like this one and Bedtime Stories is really great? I think we should go see it anyway!" Emma chuckled, and reached for her soda, "Besides, we haven't been out as such for ages apart from study dates and no, the lunches at college do not count!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pups_dt 2009-01-05 04:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay, okay," he laughed. "We'll go. Just let me know when you'd like to go huh?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"The sooner the better, and er, Inkheart looked good too?" Emma smirked. It wasn't that she didn't like the movies, she just, didn't like going on her own. "Sundays are good for me? What about you?"

The trailers were running through on the TV, but Emma wasn't watching those, instead she was concentrating now on eating the rest of the slice of pizza she was holding, and getting comfortable leaned up against Amos.

	"Clint Eastwood's new movie looks good too," Amos said. "Wouldn't mind going to see that one either He popped the bit of crust into his mouth and then settled back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, is that the Changeling one with Angelina Jolie in it? I kind of liked the sound of that, but was too scared to say so with Ang and Alec close to having that baby?" she grinned, "Disappearing children is not a good conversation topic right now!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pups_dt 2009-01-06 03:15 pm UTC (link)
	"No," he laughed. "It's, uh,...." He closed his eyes, concentrating. "Gran Torino! That's it," he said, eyes popping open again. "Gran Torino." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sam_mm 2009-01-06 04:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Wasn't that a computer game?" Emma wasn't sure, but she thought it sounded familiar. She grabbed another slice of pizza and leaned back as the credits for the film started, "Doesn't matter so much really I guess, kind of want to see what this one is like first?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pups_dt 2009-01-06 04:12 pm UTC (link)
	He chuckled softly, "That's Gran Turismo." Then he leaned back and shifted a little more so Emma could cuddle a little closer. If she wanted to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sam_mm 2009-01-06 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	Mmm, but she did, and did! And once the pizza and her soda were finished, she set the box and the can out of the way and went right back to snuggling. That in itself was fine, but what with the film not being quite to Emma's taste, and being warm and comfy, she managed to doze off before the film had finished. (Reply to this) (Parent)
