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.

	Kevin pressed another kiss to her cheek and then one to her lips, lingering there. It was a tested statistic that men were usually the first to call it love, and Kevin was saying so in his mind right now, but he kept his lips sealed, afraid he'd scare her away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender wasn't about to blurt out the word 'love' for the same fears he had, but there it was. Her heart was pounding in her chest and she wrapped her arms around him, surrendering to his kisses and his embrace. The setting sun was forgotten as they got lost in each other on her balcony.

	Kevin pushed his tongue past her lips. He sighed through his nose, relaxing with her held against him. His hands roamed her back as he kissed her. Music played in his head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender moved her fingers through his hair, holding him close as their kisses lingered and deepened. Her knees felt week and he left her breathless and she loved every moment of it. Lavender moaned softly as her tongue dueled with his, playful yet intense and passionate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And here they were again, unable to tear away from each other. Kevin felt a rush of excitement at hearing her moan. He had gone years without any sort of romantic entanglement and now, in a few weeks, he was hooked. He couldn't keep his hands off of Lavender. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The sun had barely set and they were like animals unable to keep their wandering hands off one another. They couldn't hear much either as down below, one of the young boys that had been playing in the garden was hollering and pointing. "Oi! He's trying to eat her face!"

Lavender registered that and pulled back a fraction of an inch, grinning a little. "We have a small audience," she whispered breathlessly.

	"We should go inside?" Kevin asked. He glanced over the balcony, seeing that the children outside weren't old enough to understand, and their naivety should be protected. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She laughed a little, glancing down at the children who were singing something about kissing in a tree. Lavender took his hand and led him back inside, closing the door and the drapes behind her. "Now, I have a decadent chocolate dessert in the refrigerator if you're interested," she told him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dessert? Kevin's mind was still back on the balcony, holding Lavender. "Oh, yeah. Sounds great." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-08-09 04:33 pm UTC (link)
	Lavender smiled, approaching him. "Yeah? Because your mind seems to have wandered several miles away," she grinned. She wondered if he was thinking about her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Dessert sounds lovely," he could use a moment to cool down. Even now his eyes drifted over her neck and flickered to her lips. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"OK," she grinned. Lavender couldn't help but smile when she was around Kevin. He was so easy-going and, unlike her, he was quiet and observed the world around him. Lavender would have jabbered on about what she saw.

She went into the kitchen and pulled out the chocolaty confection, cutting two pieces of the dessert to serve. She turned and grabbed a bottle of wine. "Do you want a glass?" she asked him as she uncorked.

	"Oh..." she peered down at the bottle, hoping she had not offended him. When she thought about it, she really never had seen him drink. "OK," she smiled a little and put the cork back in, walking over to hand him dessert. "We can go into the sitting room." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's just-- I'm genetically predisposed to alcoholism. You can have a glass if you'd like. I don't mind." Kevin took his plate and held it close to his body. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No, that's OK. I don't need it, really," she assured him. Lavender sat down on the sofa, waiting for him to sit beside her. "Were your parents... I mean... you said genetically predisposed... sorry, is this too personal?" she asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"My father was an alcoholic." Kevin said, his voice had lost any of the excitement that it had ten minutes ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender bit her lip lightly. He'd already told her that he'd lost his mother when he was just a child, but his father was gone, too. She poked at her dessert a little, glancing over at Kevin. "When did he die?" she asked softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I was three, my father lost his job, so he came home with a gun and shot us, then shot himself." It was almost mechanical how he recited the story. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The fork she'd had in her hand clattered off the plate and hit the floor. "Kevin..." she breathed. She moved quickly, setting her plate down before she reached for him, her fingers touching his cheek, not sure how much comfort he needed or wanted. "I'm so sorry.."

	"I've had twenty years to get past it," he said. "But I've promised myself never to become him." Or let Gena, who was like his sister, become his mother. She had been in an abusive situation for years and never had the guts to leave the man she loved to save her son. Those were his only real goals in life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That alone makes you stronger then him," she said softly, her fingers lingering on his cheek. "Still, you were just a boy... I'm so sorry you had to witness that and go through that," she said, moving a little closer to him on the couch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's what this is," he tugged the neck of his T-shirt down enough to reveal the scar right above his heart. It was large and stretched. "It kind of grew with me." Kevin had spent months in the hospital and it took a lot of therapy on the state dollar to make Kevin functional after that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her lower lip quivered a little and she ran her fingers down his skin, gently caressing the scar. She'd seen it before, but didn't think anything of it - it certainly no longer looked like a bullet hole. "No child deserves to go through that," she said softly, resting her hand over his beating heart. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin placed his hand over hers. "No. But there's not changing it now." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
