Who? Emma and Tim
When? Wednesday night
Where? Wherever he's taking her for dinner!
What? Tim is taking Emma out
Rating? TBD

Emma rushed home from work and quickly changed out of her pink nursing robes and jumped in the shower. It was the fastest shower she'd ever taken and once she was dry, she ran to her closet and rifled through her things until she found a dress to wear. It was probably too much, but she never went out after work and she wanted to look nice. It was a, for all intents and purposes, a little black dress, and she had great heels to go with it. Now, if only there was the perfect wrap, sweater, or jacket to go with it, but nothing did! Emma grabbed a small black jacket just incase then dashed back to her bathroom to charm her hair dry so it hung in soft curls around her shoulder and just put on a touch of make-up. She'd learned through her years at school that guys didn't go for the heavy make-up look judging from the girls in her dorm. She added a few dabs of her favorite perfume but was careful to not go overboard - she hoped she wasn't overdoing it.

Once she was ready, and just in time, the door bell rang and she collected herself before walking down the hallway to let him in. Emma opened the door, and smiled when she saw Tim. Yeah, she definitely had a crush on this guy.

Tim was a pretty playful guy. And he was growing more and more fond of Emma as the moments passed. She was fun, adorable, and seemed pretty smart. She was able to hold up a conversation, and he owed her for taking care of him during that disaster at the hospital.

"I did." He said, giving a little nod and smile. "I hope you like Tiramisu. Hope I didn't go too heavy-handed on the kahlua." He paused. "That's my secret. Makes for a richer flavor."

"I don't really think you can be heavy-handed with kahlua," she grinned, drinking more wine. At three glasses, Emma was giggly and completely relaxed - not that she needed to relax around Tim, it just felt nice. She didn't to end up a sloppy drunk though, so she sipped this glass slowly to make it last. "And I do like Tiramisu," she assured him.

Conversation flowed and ebbed in a comfortable fashion through their meal. "You really didn't have to go all out, Tim. But, since you did, I'll make sure to save your life more often," she smiled.

"What, you want me to get you drunk with my tiramisu?" He asked, grinning. His wine was nearly gone now, too. "Good. We'll have some tonight with coffee."

He smiled as they talked and ate together. It was nice. No pressure. When his meal was finished, he finished the last of his wine and set his glass down. "It was nothing, really." He commented. It'd been a lot easier than it looked. A grin crossed his features.

"Does this make us even, then?"

"Even?" she laughed, wiping her mouth before she set her napkin down on the table, finished with her meal. "Let me try your tiramisu and then I'll let you know," she winked.

Emma finished her wine and sat back, touching a hand to her flushed cheek. "I hope I didn't drink too much before eating your tiramisu that will get me more drunk," she giggled. Ugh, she was giggling now!

	Tim gave a laugh. She had a great sense of humor. He liked that a lot. He hadn't thought about Audrey at all during the meal--and hadn't noticed. He was having so much fun with Emma. One of his eyebrows raised gently at the sound of her giggle. It was adorable, but did that mean she was drunk? "Don't worry, I won't take advantage. Much." He gave her a wink.

	Now her cheeks were really flushed. "Why, Tim... you won't hear me protest about being taken advantage of," she whispered, smiling as the waiter left their table after they had paid. Emma rose to her feet and walked with Tim toward the coat check to get her jacket. "Thank you for dinner," she said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, no? I'll have to keep that in mind." Tim said, pocketing his wallet once their dinner was paid for. He stood and lead her to the coat check, then out of the restaurant to the street. "It was my pleasure, really." He responded, then held out his arm to her. "To my place?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She smiled, sliding into her jacket then took his arm as they walked outside. "Wait... before we go..." Emma turned to him, resting her hands on his chest to balance herself as she lifted herself higher, pressing her lips to his in a soft kiss. Whatever happened at his apartment - which she knew would probably turn out really good - she got her goodnight kiss in a proper fashion and it made her smile.

	Tim was a little surprised at the kiss. He liked it, though. He wrapped an arm down and around her and returned the gentle, proper, goodnight kiss. "Good. Now that we've got that out of our system..." He said, grinning softly. "Tiramisu?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-10-18 04:24 am UTC (link)
	Emma nodded, smiling up at him. "Yes... I would like that," she told him, turning to wrap her arm around his waist and stand close to him. Once they apparated into his apartment, Emma opened her eyes and looked around. "Goodness, it was cold out there," she said, shivering a little as she adjusted to the warmth.

	"Brilliant." Tim apparated them straight into his apartment, then let her go once more so he could take her coat. "It's getting to be that time of year." He commented gently, hanging her coat on the rack by the door. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Emma ran her fingers through her hair, following him toward the kitchen. "Can I help with anything?" she offered, resting her hands on his counter, smiling over at him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-10-19 01:55 am UTC (link)
	Tim shook his head. The tiramisu was split into four separate dishes, but each dish was big enough for two to share. Tim reached over and pulled a couple of forks from the drawer, then pulled one of the tiramisu dishes from the fridge. "Do you want something to drink?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-10-19 02:02 am UTC (link)
	"Ummm, anything but wine," she replied with a cheeky grin. Her cheeks were still flushed from the alcohol in her system. "Coffee or tea would be nice... take the chill off?" she suggested. "I can make it if you want," she offered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-10-19 02:20 am UTC (link)
	Tim gave a laugh. "Sure. Yes, there's a coffee maker on the counter there... and the coffee's in that container." He said, pointing it out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-10-19 02:22 am UTC (link)
	"OK," she smiled, walking around him and into the kitchen. Lining the funnel with a filter, Emma glanced over at Tim. "Any chance that fireplace over there works?" she smiled. She liked the idea of curling up on the couch with him in front of a roaring fire. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-10-19 02:24 am UTC (link)
	"Hmm? Oh." Tim turned to look. He'd been watching her in his kitchen, trying not to let his mind get carried away. He moved across the room and conjured a log for the fire. (He had a new wand he'd purchased after his was broken in the explosion at St. Mungos.) Then he lit the fire. Instantly the room was bathed in warm, romantic light and warmth.

	Emma didn't feel like waiting and cast a quick charm to brew the coffee instantly. It smelled wonderful as she poured two cups and fixed a tray with cream, sugar, and spoons. She walked into the living room, setting the tray on the table. The warmth of the fire already felt wonderful. "This is nice," she told him as she sat down on the couch.

	Tim brought out a couple of soft blankets and pillows, and set up the tiramisu on the coffee table. He was still feeling a little warm from the wine, though that was fading. He settled down on the sofa next to her, bringing the dish of tiramisu to their laps so they could dig in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The couch was amazingly comfortable, but everything probably seemed a little more comfortable with three glasses of wine making her fuzzy and warm. Emma dug her fork into the dessert, making a sound of approval when she tasted it. "So good," she smiled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-10-19 03:23 pm UTC (link)
	Tim grinned. "Thanks. It's Marcus' recipe... though I tweaked it a little bit." He had to take some of the credit. "I added the kahlua." It was a little strong, but not biting with the alcohol. "So, Emma." He said once they were settled and eating the dessert. "Tell me about you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nurse_emma 2009-10-19 05:39 pm UTC (link)
	"So... Tim," she smiled, settling back on the couch. "Me? Hmm, I'm boring," she grinned. Emma took another bite of the dessert, shrugging a little. "I'm an only child..." she paused, pursing her lips a little, glancing over at him, "my dad died during the war and it's just me and my mum, now," she told him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blenkinsop 2009-10-20 12:27 am UTC (link)
	"I'm sorry to hear it." There was something they had in common. Tim's whole family died during the war. He was left pretty much all alone in the Wizarding world. "My parents were killed in the war, too." He said, softly. It still hurt. He figured it would always hurt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She fiddled with her fork in the dessert dish, glancing over at him. "I'm sorry," she said softly. "My father's death was an accident - dispute at the Ministry. He tried to end it but the two men already had their wands drawn and..." Emma just shook her head a little, taking a small bite of the tiramisu. Did she tell him about her mum? "It... drove my mum insane... the war is not a subject I ever talk about... and I haven't for a long time."

	"It's all right." He said. He hadn't meant for this to get too deep or sad. He tried to shrug it off. At least they could lean on each other, right? Tim lifted his arm to wrap around her shoulders, pulling her closer to him. "We don't have to talk about it, then. Let's talk about something else." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
