Lisa felt like she had just left Roger's flat. It had only been a few days, but it felt like she might be overstaying her welcome. It was weird because she'd never felt like that before. She was usually at his flat more than twice a week. He wasn't always there, though, so she wasn't sure if things would be awkward. After all, they'd established some sort of dating agreement between the two of them at their last outing. But it had been so long since Lisa had actually dated anyone that she didn't know the rules-- if there were rules.

She was prepared, though. With a steaming dish of macaroni and cheese and hot dogs, she knocked confidently-- or what she hoped was confidence. She was anxious to see Roger again. And more importantly, incredibly curious as to what he planned on telling Brightion, if at all.

	Lisa nodded and smiled. "Just nervous." It was a big step, wasn't it? "What if he..." Well. It wasn't about liking her. "What if he doesn't like the idea of us together?" She looked up at him with big eyes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Why wouldn't he?" Brighton adored Lisa, right? It should be no problem. "I mean, he likes you, I don't know why he'd be bothered by it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa exhaled a sigh of relief. "You're right." She leaned into him. "He likes me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Why wouldn't he?" He leaned over and pressed a kiss to her temple. Roger was still getting used to the idea of dating again, but despite his charming, flirtatious nature, he was a domesticated man at heart. He'd settle into it. He needed this.

She closed her eyes at his kiss, smiling to herself at how lucky she was. "I'm just nervous, I guess," she said, again. "It'll go away once we tell him. It's just so..." she paused, not wanting what she was about to say to come out wrong. "It's a big step, right?" Did it feel soon? Not at all. But she wanted to make sure Roger was okay with it. As long as he wasn't going to freak out tomorrow about telling his son, then she was all for it. "Are you ready for that? Are we ready for that?"

	"Well, it's a step, but it's not like we're getting married, right?" Uh, that idea he couldn't handle right now. That was too far ahead. "I mean... I don't... you know what I mean." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa nodded. Maybe they were both nervous. "You're cute," she said, leaning up to press a gentle kiss to his lips. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Roger closed his eyes and kissed her. He heard little feet run from the bathroom to the bedroom. "Sounds like he's ready," Roger said as he pulled away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Alright." Lisa breathed in deep. "Let's do this." She started towards Brighton's room. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Roger sat down on the edge of Brighton's bed and patted his leg through the comforter. "Lisa and I have something we wanted to tell you before we read you a bedtime story, okay?" Roger glanced over at Lisa and took a deep breath. "You know how Mr. Duke at the candy store has his girlfriend, Sarah?" Brighton nodded. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa stood next to Roger, a hand lightly on his shoulder. He seemed to have a good idea where he was going with his lead in, so she stayed quiet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well, if you're okay with it, I'd like Lisa to be my girlfriend."

Brighton seemed to think about this for a long time before speaking. "She your first girlfriend?"

Roger shook his head, "No, but I haven't had a girlfriend since you were born."

"Oh. Well. Okay. So long as you don't give someone else your cookies at snack time and make her sad, 'cause Lisa's my friend. Okay?"

Roger laughed, relieved. "Alright. It's a deal." he shook Brighton's hand.

	Lisa laughed and lightly squeezed Roger's shoulder. She took a seat on the bed as well and looked through his book collection. She already knew every book he owned, and probably had half of them memorized. She looked back at Brighton. "Any questions you want to ask us, or do you just want us to read you a story?"

	"No, I think that's it. Just make sure she doesn't have cooties, okay?" Brighton climbed off the bed and grabbed a book. "You can read this one." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	existing 2009-11-09 04:48 am UTC (link)
	"I can assure you I'm cootie-free. Had my charms and everything." She grinned and looked at Roger. Brighton was priceless. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Alright, what're we reading here. The Fountain of Fair Fortune again? Alright. Well, Lisa might have to help me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ooh! My favorite," Lisa said, leaning into Roger-- to get a better look at the pages, of course. Together, the three of them read through the story, complete with dramatic voices and gestures. When they were finished, Brighton was fast asleep. She looked over at Roger, leaned in to give Brighton a light kiss on his forehead and then tiptoed out of the room.

	Roger closed Brighton's door and pulled Lisa close. "So, we've been granted permission." He pressed a kiss to her ear, smiling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa grinned wickedly. "So I heard," she responded, snaking her arms around his neck. "As long as you don't give your cookies to anyone else..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	learnedinthelaw 2009-11-09 05:34 am UTC (link)
	"I'm just glad you'll let me give you my cookies." He pressed another soft kiss just below her ear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa tilted her head to the side, giving him more room to do what he was doing. It was fantastic. Her eyes fluttered closed and she let out a little hum. "Wouldn't have it any other way," she mumbled. "You've got the best cookies." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	learnedinthelaw 2009-11-09 05:39 am UTC (link)
	"You've only had my drunk cookies so far," he said. Roger kissed her neck this time, lingering a little longer. "My cookies are usually much, much better." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her hands clung to his back. Her breathe was starting to get shorter. He was really good at this. "You'll have to show me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Roger walked her back towards his room, or more importantly, away from Brighton's room where they might be too loud and wake him up. He reached behind her to make sure they didn't walk into the door as his lips lingered around the collar of her blouse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	One of Lisa's hands reached behind her as well, but Roger was steering her quite skillfully and she didn't bump into anything. Instead, she started to undo his tie. She pulled it loose, but let it hang there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
