OG: Saturday Night; Jo and Jack's date
Oversized slices of New York style pizza, a pitcher of frothy beer, and a basket of freshly-baked breadsticks, served in the casual atmosphere of a family-owned Italian restaurant. Not the high dining experience, perhaps, but it was just Johanna's speed. Had it been some hoity-toity establishment, she would have been intimidated. Here it was relaxed, unpretentious, and she wasn't afraid to be herself.

She was dressed in a deep red, long sleeved tunic that hugged her body, topped with a dark sash that fell low on her hips, dark jeans, and boots. She'd only spent an hour frantically digging through her closet before she'd settled on that particular get-up. Once again she'd taken the time to painstakingly do her hair, which fell to her shoulders in loose, lush ringlets. Tonight, she felt pretty, which helped with her confidence, but didn't entirely quell the butterflies.

"You have no idea how long I've been craving pizza," she said, leaning across the booth and smiling at Jack. "Not like Pizza Hut or Dominos. I mean, like good pizza. This--" She paused as she served herself a second piece. "--is good pizza. Thanks for suggesting this place."

"Jack, wait," Jo said suddenly. She grabbed his hand and tugged him gently back to her. She didn't have anything to say, but she did have something she needed to get out of her system. They'd had the opportunity to kiss on several occasions, but it never quite happened. Her hesitancy was usually to blame, but now it seemed she was over her reservations. A kiss was just a kiss, after all, and that last teasing brush of his lips was too much to bear. Jack seemed to ooze sex. He pushed her buttons. He was everything that was bad, and naughty, and forbidden. Kissing him didn't mean that she was going to lose her self-control, she reminded herself. No, she had a grip on her hormones. She'd resolve to keep her legs crossed until she was sure.

But now, right now, she wanted to kiss. Right there on the sidewalk.

	Jack studied her eyes for a minute and then smiled softly. Ignoring the people walking around them he slipped his arms around her waist and pulled her flush against him. One hand raised to slide into her hair, cupping the back of her head, and he leaned down. This time it wasn't just a brush of lips. It was a slow and very thorough kiss.

Jo melted into the kiss, a tingling warmth flooding through her. She tilted her head obligingly and pressed even more firmly against him, her hips resting just below his. Dizzy with the moment, and completely entranced by his lips and tongue, she seemed to lose touch with reality. She couldn't recall ever being kissed like that, and when it ended, she couldn't prevent a dopey smile loping onto her face.

	Jack smiled back, dark eyes even darker. When was the last time he'd had a kiss like that? Soft and innocent and with no pretense? He couldn't remember. "C'mon," he said, taking her hand and heading for the bar again. "We have drinks and dancing waiting for us." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Lead on, Sailor," she said, interlacing her fingers with his. Overall, it was everything a good first date should be. Flirtatious. Informative. Maybe a little awkward at times, but a pleasure nonetheless. It was clear, to Johanna at least, that it was the first of many to come. (Reply to this) (Parent)
