What: pseudo NOT date
When: tonight!
Where: Lisa's flat to start, then wherever Roger takes her
Rated: TBD

Lisa heard a knock. It seemed entirely too soon for Roger to be there. She had hardly finished her make-up! She wasn't even wearing shoes! Cussing quietly to herself, and angry at Marcus for choosing tonight to go out with his friends, she hurried. "Coming," she called, trying not to make him wait too long at the door.

She slipped on a pair of modest heels to match her dress and fastened her earrings as she walked towards the door. Composing herself, she shook her hair and exhaled. Then, she opened the door.

The first thing she noticed was that Roger looked nice. "Hi," she said after a few seconds of staring.

	"You're fabulous. I didn't know what I was missing." She gave him a coy grin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Roger hesitated. When he pulled her up from the dip he was a bit awkward. He had resolved to start being better to himself, to allow himself to be happy. The heavy drinking, the isolation, all of it had to stop or he'd make himself and Brighton miserable. Nothing and no one was guaranteed to be here tomorrow, right?

But would he forget her if he moved on with his life?

Roger had stopped dancing. He was stuck in thought, his arms around Lisa.

	Lisa furrowed her brow. Roger had stopped dancing. "Roger?" She asked, not sure what was wrong. Seconds ago, he'd been fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You look lovely tonight," he said as a stall for time. She really did look nice. The dress had a flattering shape. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa was confused. She blinked a few times. "Thank you." A beat. "What's wrong?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I-- I want to kiss you," he said honestly. Roger was waiting for her reaction to that. He was guessing that, after the issues before with drunk Roger, Lisa would be put off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her breath caught in her throat. What was so wrong with wanting to kiss her? They were getting along great, laughing and dancing. Yet, he seemed to have some sort of internal battle going on. Was it that hard to just lean forward? "So do it," she whispered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Roger thought, sorry Julie, before tipping his chin forward and catching her lips. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa's eyes fluttered close. Her heart felt like it was under attack; it was beating so hard. Her head was swimming and she was in absolute bliss. It was a gentle kiss, sweet, unlike the drunk ones months earlier. It was perfect. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	After a while Roger forgot his guilt and started to enjoy the kiss. He parted his lips and slipped his tongue past them. He tightened his arms around her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her hand gripped his shoulder where it sat. Her other hand wound up to his hair. Her own lips parted and she pressed her tongue against his. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Roger finally broke the kiss, his eyes looking a little heavy now, his cheeks flushed. "So I guess this was a date." His eye was starting to look pretty purple. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She would have smiled but her eyes fell upon his eye and she frowned instead. "Oh Roger. That looks terrible." She made a face. "Does it hurt a lot? Maybe we should get the ice or-- oh! I think I have some bruise reduction cream from the Weasley's store." She paused thinking. It was sitting on her night stand. She would apparate home and get it. Yes. Roger needed it much more than she did. "I'm going to apparate home real quick and get it for you."

	Roger held onto her wrist. "Don't worry." He pulled her back close to him and flashed that winning smile-- even though half of it hurt. He nuzzled against her ear. "I'm a little rusty at actual dating, so I'm going to do stupid things like get decked by guys twice my size." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa smiled, letting herself get pulled back. "Does that mean we're dating now?" She tried to keep the happiness out of her voice until he answered. His nuzzling was making it hard, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, we just went on a date and I'm not trying to kick you out the door." The kiss had started sweet but it hadn't been long before tongues were involved and Roger's "On" switch had been flicked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're right. You're practically begging me to stay longer." She turned to press a gentle kiss to his good cheek. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's right. I've got the flat to myself, I can stay up as late as I want." He sounded like a teenager, not a Dad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh really?" he said with a smirk. Roger cocked an eyebrow. "Is that a promise?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She leaned forward to press a gentle kiss to his lips in response. "I think it can be arranged." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This time when he kissed her, it wasn't gentle or sweet. But it wasn't sloppy either and it didn't taste like whiskey. Roger knew she had body issues and he wanted her to know right now that he found her very attractive, especially in that dress. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa was very grateful that it didn't taste like whiskey. She'd felt extremely guilty the last time they were in the same position. At least this time what was happening was of mutual want. She wrapped her arms up and around his neck again, pulling him close. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Should they slow down? Roger didn't want to slow down right now. Roger wasn't making decisions right now. Roger's body was making decisions and Roger's body told him to start walking towards the bedroom door. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa wasn't really thinking right now, either. But she knew things would have to end before anything went too far. That didn't mean they couldn't have a little fun first, though. She moved with him towards the bedroom, stopping at the door to pin him between the door frame and her body. She pressed close, deepening the kiss. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
