Lorna arrived at Alex's packed to stay the night. She wasn't much in the mood to be alone at the moment, and her roommate had decided to have her boyfriend over that night, anyway. She let herself into the house, knowing Alex wouldn't mind. "Hey!"

	Lorna had several bags in her hands when they finally reached the food court. She sat at a booth with a grateful 'oof', her bags plopped down next to her. "Whee, fun. My bank account is weeping now." She had to transfer money every time she spent money here, but it was worth it. Beside, the exchange rate between America and Britain made it worth it.

	He laughed and grinned at her. "You know, we could get a cart to hold those." He had a few packages himself, but his greatest temptations were still ahead. A book store and a sporting goods store. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Lorna's bags were mostly clothing. She had yet to replenish the wardrobe she'd had prior to fleeing NYU.

Not to mention the fact that plastic earrings were suddenly the style, and that made her a very happy human magnet.

"Yeah, but then we have to return it, and they'll get mad if we race them, and honestly, I'm almost broke anyway."

The music store up ahead would likely kill the last of her finances, leaving her sad and poor when they got to the bookstore.

	He chuckled. "Well, I can always help out you know, if you will let me." He gently stroked her face. "You mean more tome than anything else I would spend it on." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She smiled softly, leaning into his hand. "Nah. If I read through all my books, I can always come to your place and read yours." She pulled him close and kissed him. "You wouldn't mind, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He eyed his menu. "The chicken fried steak looks good." He nodded and set it aside, smiling to her. "Would you like some wine, love." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She shook her head. "I'm still underage here, remember?" Not that she minded. And the steak with mushrooms and onions looked like the best thing on the menu to her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She blushed lightly, and took his hand, softly kissing the knuckle. "I love you too Alex. You are just so. . .awesome. You make my heart race, and I feel like I could trust you with my deepest secrets and worries and you'll make everything okay." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She kissed back, touching his face softly. "I love you too, Alex. And I want to be with you."

She wanted it to work. More than anything else in the world. Even if things were now, thanks to her big mouth, worse than they'd been when the day had started. Whether he would admit it or not, she'd hurt him, and she didn't even really understand how. Winning back trust that's lost is a lot harder than earning it in the first place, and what if she wasn't good enough for that? What if she'd ruined things?

The second guessing was getting annoying. She willed those thoughts away. Things would work, or they wouldn't. All she could do was try her hardest to make it turn out right in the end.

	He smiled softly and hugged her tight. "Can we go home then? I feel a serious need to hold you close,inhale ice cream, and possibly make love to you until we can't see straight." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	compassrose 2008-03-16 07:05 am UTC (link)
	She hugged back, holding him tightly. "That sounds good. We might have to wait on the love making. . .I'm already pretty braindead. It's still three am in my head." She kissed him again, her worry over what he was thinking not truly gone, but pushed out of the way. "But the rest? Sounds awesome. I'm all for snuggling with you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	makesomenoise 2008-03-16 07:09 am UTC (link)
	He nodded. "Sleep and cuddling are good. Come on. Let's go home." he rose and held out a hand to her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	compassrose 2008-03-16 07:12 am UTC (link)
	She took his hand, smiling softly. But in her mind, she continued to curse at herself. How could she have hurt him? She was unsure of herself in this new place, with all this new information she had. What would she do when he was counting on her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
