Lavender peered into the oven to check on the lasagna and grinned, pleased that it was bubbling just like it was supposed to. She rose and turned to walk to the refrigerator, pulling out a bag of fresh romaine lettuce to make a ceasar salad. After the lasagna was finished she would bake up some fresh garlic bread and dinner would be complete. She didn't really bake much, so in the refrigerator was a sinfully chocolate dessert that she'd picked up at the bakery on the way home.

Glancing at the clock, she cursed then dashed down the hall to change - Kevin would be there any minute and she wanted to look nice for dinner. In the back of her mind, Lavender thought that Kevin probably wouldn't care if she was wearing sweats, but that wasn't the point. She pulled on a pair of dark blue jeans then yanked a black silky cami over her head - it was cute and flirty, a little revealing but nothing too inappropriate. She slid her feet into a pair of black flip-flops then headed back to the kitchen. Flirty and casual, perfect for a night in, she decided, as she ran her fingers through her hair that hung around her shoulders.

When she heard the knock on her door, Lavender was already beaming.

	She sat beside him on the couch. "When you write? Do you just jot down what you're thinking or does it always come out in lyrics?" she asked curiously. She was fascinated by him, had been for quite some time before actually meeting him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sometimes lyrics, sometimes a line or two, or a descriptive phrase. It's never a complete song without effort." Kevin really despised guys who claimed inspiration as an excuse not to edit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Fascinating," she smiled sincerely. "Well, I would always be a captive audience if you ever wanted to share," she promised. She glanced at the clock then jumped up, moving toward the kitchen. Her hand casually touched his shoulder, lingering as she walked by - yeah, any excuse to touch him really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin stood up and watched her through the kitchen doorway. He didn't want to intrude if she wasn't ready for him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There were certain things that Lavender liked to do herself, but others she left the magic. With a flick of her wrist, the table was set and the bread and salad were in place. She pulled the lasagna from the oven and cast a charm to send it to the table. "Sit," she invited him, "it's a meat lasagna," Lavender grinned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Excellent." Kevin sat down at the table. He looked across at Lavender, waiting for the go ahead. Did she say grace? They always said it in the group home, but Kevin didn't usually on his own. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender gave him a curious look, cutting in the lasagna. She placed a steaming hot piece on his plate then passed him the basket of bread. "You are so quiet," she blurted out. "What are you thinking?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin shrugged. "I dunno. I'm just... making sure I do everything right." He blushed. That was as close as he'd get to outright saying he was nervous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She grinned, humming a little. "Hmmm, well, there really are no rules," she assured him. "I mean, I usually don't cook unless my..." she nearly said when her parents come to visit, but she didn't want to go down that path. "Anyway... help yourself, please. I made so much food!"

	Kevin cut himself a slice of lasagna and started eating. "This is great," he said between bites. Kevin took a gulp of his cola. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When she was younger, her mother had told her that the way to a man's heart was through his stomach. Lavender didn't usually cook for men, so she grinned when she discovered that her mother's words had been very true. "Thanks," she smiled, taking a bite of her own. "Tell me more about your writing. Are you working on a new album? Or are you going on tour?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-08-08 03:32 am UTC (link)
	"The next album," he confirmed. "Lucas had a couple songs we were working on, but now I've got some of my own material for it." Kevin smiled a mischievous, boyish grin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender flashed him the sweetest smile she had. "Oh, if I promise you dessert can I hear something you're working on?" she grinned, taking a sip of her water. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well... I don't have any instruments here." Kevin finished his piece of lasagna and washed it down with soda. "It's not the same without music." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She pouted then popped a piece of bread in her mouth. "Well, I might just have to come over to your place next time," Lavender smiled. "I haven't gotten to meet your dog yet either," she pointed out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Wanna see pictures?" He was already getting out his wallet without waiting for her answer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-08-08 03:43 am UTC (link)
	"Seen them," she laughed lightly. "She's a beautiful dog. Where is she now that you're with me?" she asked, gesturing to the lasagna if he wanted more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-08-08 03:45 am UTC (link)
	"She was glad to see me the other morning when I got home." Kevin didn't like leaving her alone, but he really liked spending time with Lavender. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, then really... I'll have to meet her so she's not jealous of the time of yours I keep stealing from her," she said, serving him another piece of lasagna. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin wasn't sure how much he could eat. He cut off a bite and ate it, though. It would be rude to refuse. "Thanks." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender polished off her dinner then pushed her plate back, smiling over at him. "I talk a lot - you can tell me to stop whenever you want," she told him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-08-08 04:02 am UTC (link)
	"I like to listen to you," Kevin said softly. He wasn't much of a talker, so they fit that way. "How is your work?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-08-08 04:06 am UTC (link)
	"Oh... my work?" she scrunched up her nose and shrugged a little. Lavender ran her finger over the top of her glass. "Honestly, it's boring. It pays the rent for this place and it's something to do. I didn't think I would be there as long as I have been..." she told him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin reached across the table for her hand. "We all work crap jobs while we're figuring out what we really want to do." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-08-08 04:25 am UTC (link)
	"It's not complete crap, I mean... it's just not what I want to do with my life," she told him. Lavender turned her hand in his so they were palm to palm and laced their fingers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
