While Leif had been transformed into a child Roxy had found her thoughts curiously preoccupied by the man she had known for barely three weeks. Yet the desire to talk to Leif and the inability to do so set her on edge and drove her thoughts further down the rabbit hole. Morning runs with the boys didn't help. Grooming Jeannie had not helped. The gym and training with anyone who would volunteer did nothing. It was a plague! A handsome, tall, mysterious plague. Furthermore, she didn't know who to talk to it about. It almost felt embarrassing to be so preoccupied by a man, especially when she had hardly let herself wander that path in the past.

Several times throughout the week she had debated texting her friends to air her grievances and yet each time she erased the message. Putting it into word actualized the affair her mind was having with an imagined creature. Two dates and a meeting with his mother hardly seemed to warrant such behaviors. Yet she found herself day dreaming about Leif even as she ran on the treadmill or sat to read. Her favorite idea thus far as that which made true on their promise to go camping. Maybe now that he had returned to his natural state they could do just that? It sounded great.

Roxy's thoughts simply went round and round as she showered, arms raised as she gently washed conditioner from her hair and enjoyed the hot water on her back. Maybe they could go through that new door that opened and take a trip? Although there was something worrisome about Rhysand's statement about love making. Best to wait until their spring rituals were finished. Or maybe he was being poetic? Although his true meaning hardly mattered as she closed her eyes to fully rinse the top of her head when she imagined Leif there, too. Laughing, she shook her head as if to clear it away and stepped from the water, turned it off, and twist her hair until it wasn't so sopping wet.

A buzz at the door told her she had spent far too much time day dreaming. "Ah--Just a minute!!" Roxy shout through the small one bedroom apartment as she hurried around for a towel. Pathetic. What kind of woman had she become?!

Leif decided to shower as well while he killed time before going to Roxy's. His shower was quick, just a rinse off and washing his hair. He then changed into a white dress shirt and black slacks, his hair pulled back into a pony tail once again. It was a common style for him. He stopped by his mom's bar and grabbed a bottle of red and a bottle of white, not sure which one Roxy would like. He then made his way to Roxy's apartment. He was definitely looking forward to seeing her.

There was something about knowing a person was waiting for you that made you rush, even when you also knew they probably wouldn't mind waiting another minute or two. Still, Roxy hated to be rude and make Leif stand outside of her apartment while she collected herself after having run out of time.

She was normally so punctual. Her heart really needed to figure out what was going on and then tell it to her brain so she could resume normal, optimal function.

"Coming!" Roxy shout again as she dried off quickly and wrapped herself in a long cotton robe. It felt more sensible than wearing the towel straight out of the bathroom yet left equally as little to the imagination once her wet hair started to drip and leave darkened dots in the fabric down the front and back. She then got the door and smiled at him apologetically.

"Come in and sit down. I'm so sorry. I lost track of the time," she said, fresh skin flush from the hot water and hurrying. A tell-tale track of damp footprints pad across the hardwood floor leading back into the bedroom and bathroom from whence she came.

Leif swallowed has he took in the sight before him. His instinct was to tell her not to worry and that getting dressed wasn't necessary, but they had agreed to take things slow. Hadn't they? He stepped inside and nodded.

"There's no hurry." He grinned and that was when his fangs decided to involuntarily pop out. He blushed hard and covered his mouth with his hands. "I'm sorry."

Roxy had been half turned to go and finish drying off and dressing when she saw the motion in the corner of her keen gaze. Turning back, unable to help herself, she smiled. "You don't need to apologize," she told him with a wave of one hand as the other loosely pressed to her chest to ensure her robe did not fly open in some mysterious breeze.

"Can I see them?" she asked, free hand reaching up to gently touch his wrist in an effort to ease his hand away.

	Leif was still embarrassed but he nodded. He lowered his hand and opened his mouth a bit. Where his secondary incisors had been were now elongated fangs. "I don't always have control over them. I've been told that'll get better with age." Though he was already 25. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"So they just pop out from time to time?" Roxy asked with an affectionate tone as she eyed them from her stand point. "That's cute." She gave him a smile before finally turning to go. Her wet hair had drawn long lines down the back of her robe reaching the belt around her waist.

"I think they're handsome! You can leave them be if you want." She winked over her shoulder before disappearing into her room, baffled she had winked at him. It was not a planned gesture.

	Leif only blushed more. "They make it a little difficult to talk." He called after her before putting his fangs away. He took a seat on the couch, setting the two wine bottles on the nearest flat surface while he waited. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

With that Roxy hurried through drying off and dressing. She donned a plum colored blouse and charcoal grey fitted slacks, hair pulled back neatly into a bun to keep the wet from soaking into the back of her nice shirt. Sure, her hair would have a curious indent to it later, but that was nothing a good blowout or iron couldn't fix.

Sans shoes, she returned to the living area with Jeannie in tow, let out of her little den to play. The black poodle pup beat her master to the sofa where she jumped up and proceeded to lick Leif's face.

"I'm sorry to make you wait," Roxy said with a laugh as she sat down next to Leif and tried to pry Jeannie back.

	While he waited Leifclooked around the apartment. He started mentally reciting the states and their capitals. His mother had insisted that he learned them and it was an easy trick to get certain parts of him to calm down. Though that was abandoned as soon as Roxy walked into the room. He got to his feet and smiled. "You are definitely worth the wait." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

What a gentleman. Jeannie seemed to have lost her chance to play.

"Flatterer," Roxy flirt as she took her place at his side, one hand on his arm, before making an 'oh' sound. "I forgot the glasses," she explained and started toward the kitchen.

"I feel horrible being less than presentable. I don't know where my head has been at lately...I'm not usually so absentminded!"

	Leif scooped Jeannie into his lap as he resumed his seat, grinning as the dog licked him again. He laughed softly. "Perhaps you're distracted." He could think of a few reasons. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The woman laughed from the kitchen and reappeared with two drinks in one hand, a tray of some crackers and cheese in the other. "I have been thinking about you," Roxy confessed as she smiled at seeing him and her pup. Jeannie seemed to be in heaven as she wiggled in Leif's arms happily.

"You were sorely missed at our drinking party, by the way. Everyone sends their regards."

	"I've been thinking about you as well." At least since he woke up back in his adult body. "I'm sure I would have drunk them under the table." He said with a laugh. Jeannie curled up in a little ball in his lap and he started gently petting her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm willing to bet on it," Roxy agreed as she took a seat next to the pair and leaned forward with the glasses to pour the drinks. She went for the red, uncorking it with a twist of the screw. This was nice. It felt comfortable. A corner of her mind imagined coming home to this after a long day of work.

"I was fantastically smashed. I think I slept in for a full day with my hangover." She laughed. "I can't remember the last time I was so wasted."

Sitting back, she held out a glass for Leif.

	Leif took the glass and smiled, taking a drink of the wine. "It's too bad I missed that. I bet it was very amusing." He chuckled. Jeannie got up and crawled from Leif's lap to Roxy's. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't think I'll be drinking that much again any time soon." She replied while putting one hand on Jeannie's head and scratching behind her ears. "I'm sure we will have plenty of chances to drink, however." Roxy held up her glass as if to make a point. "A few glasses and I'll be a bit tipsy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leifingoufson 2018-05-02 03:32 am UTC (link)
	"Then perhaps we should limit it to one or two glasses." He chuckled. "Though it would be nice to see you tipsy. Just so I know." He nodded. He sipped his wine as he looked at her again. "I tend to get a bit flirty when I'm drunk." Though it did take quite a lot to get him drunk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callme_roxy 2018-05-02 03:35 am UTC (link)
	She shrugged and leaned toward him slightly. "I'm yours all day. I have no plans." Roxy laughed. "You? More flirtatious? I hardly believe it." She shift as Jeannie got up to go drink from her water dish in the kitchen, which allowed her to sit closer to her guest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leifingoufson 2018-05-02 03:40 am UTC (link)
	"I know it's hard to believe but it's true." He laughed. "It would take probably four bottles of wine to get me close to that, though." He shifted just a little closer to her, too. She did smell lovely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	callme_roxy 2018-05-02 03:49 am UTC (link)
	"I'll need only one bottle to really notice anything. Two leaves me pretty up turned. I think I handle my alcohol well, I'm just small." Roxy shook her head and laughed at herself. "So...we were going to discuss plans? I thought that new realm sounded interesting." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leifingoufson 2018-05-02 03:58 am UTC (link)
	Leif nodded and kept everything she just said stored away before taking another drink of his wine. "Yes, plans. It does sound fascinating. And I bet we can go camping." He smiled. "Or we could also go camping in the park. Though the park does leave us more open to possible....intruders." He cleared his throat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Roxy set her drink down. No need to suck it dry in five minutes. In fifteen she'd feel just a slight buzz if she finished it off. Nothing wrong with that; but she wasn't in a hurry. They had all the time in the universe. She then turned back to Leif and smiled at him, though there was a daring, wicked flicker in her gaze.

"Camping sounds fantastic. Although I wonder what we're being intruded upon?" she asked coyly as her eyes looked up at him from behind soft lashes. "Intellectual, philosophical conversation, perhaps?" Or....something else...?"

	"Could be something else entirely." He smiled and reached his hand up, fingers lightly brushing the back of her cheek. "Depending on the situation, of course." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Roxy leaned into his touch softly, eyes half-closing as she enjoyed the contact. "That's true. What if we are attacked by bears?" she teased, trying not to laugh and move far from the touch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leifingoufson 2018-05-02 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Being attacked by bears would be a bad situation." He nodded. Leif shifted and rested his other hand on her hip, still lightly stroking her cheek. "Even just trying to start a fire can take a great deal of concentration. Someone stumbling upon us could make it difficult." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
