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.

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"Which is designing clothes," Kevin repeated part of their previous conversation to make sure he was remembering correctly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Mmm hmm," she nodded, "or at the very least, work in fashion," she said. Lavender was fascinated by the way her hand fit so nicely inside of his. "You want anything else?" she asked softly, lifting her eyes to his. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-08-08 04:38 am UTC (link)
	"I'm quite full right now, thank you." Kevin ran a thumb over the palm of her hand. "Dinner was delicious." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thank you. Ummm, it's a nice night and I have a bench out on my balcony if you want to sit outside for a bit," she said, gesturing toward the small area off her living room that overlooked her building's garden area. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-08-08 04:41 am UTC (link)
	Kevin nodded. "Okay." He let go of her hand and pushed himself up. He gestured for her to lead the way. Really he just wanted to watch her walk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender stood, pulling out her wand to cast a charm to set her dishes to work on cleaning themselves. Walking away from him, Lavender knew her hips swayed a little in her jeans. She smirked to herself and opened the door leading to the balcony. The sun was setting and it was dusk - still days away from the full moon, so she was still somewhat relaxed.

	Kevin walked out onto the balcony after her and looked up at the warm sky. He wrapped his arms around Lavender and pulled her close. "Nice view." Not quite as great as his view, but new and therefore more interesting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender rested her hands on top of his, settling back against his chest as he held her. She smiled at his comment, glancing down at the gardens where a couple of children were running and chasing one another. "It's a perfect night," she said softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He rested his cheek against her hair. Kevin was suddenly overcome with a gripping fear that this week was too good to be true and he held her tighter because of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender closed her eyes, enjoying the close moment. She never let any man get this close to her, it never felt safe. But, with Kevin she felt safe enough to open up to him and let him be close to her. "Kevin... you're the first guy I've had a second date with... since I was a teenager," she told him softly.

	"You're the first I ever... backwards." He said with a small smirk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her heart stopped for a moment. Oh, she had no idea. "Oh... Kevin..." she whispered, running her hands across the backs of his hands as he held her. Now she didn't want to tell him about her... past. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin kissed the top of her head. Kevin had always been a sink-into-the-background kind of guy. The only girl he'd really gotten to know was like a sister to him. And now Lavender. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She wanted to cry. "You're too good to me," she said softly. Lavender turned in his arms, resting her hands on his chest as she looked up at him.

"My life is very... backwards," she told him, seeing as it was their little word. "I've never resisted the urges I feel during the full moon. I just... you're so honest with me and I want to be honest and open with you. I don't want you to think I'm something I'm not..."

	"Well," Kevin said, feeling a tiny twinge of jealousy for the men who came before him, "As long as you come find me during the full moon..." as long as she resisted the urges if she couldn't find him, if he was on tour or tied up at work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
