ianto jones, madame de pompadour

April 7, 2008 - Evening
Who: Ianto and Reinette
What: Dinner
When: This evening
Warnings: Don't think so?

Reinette was preparing dinner. Ianto had been instructing her as of late. Though she certainly did not feel as up to par as he was, she was certainly improving her culinary skills. This life was so different from the one that she knew. Now if only she had some friends. It wasn't like she had ladies in wait to spend an afternoon with anymore.

She had chosen to make a steak, since it was not that hard. Not after Ianto had shown her how to check for redness. She also had some salad and simple steamed vegetables. It was a start and she was proud at her success. Now she just needed a dinner companion.

Ianto had spent some of his day before arriving stuck with Lyssa who kept asking him about houses, his opinions about things of a wedding sort. He was not the wedding fairy. So he was only too glad to make his excuses and leave to get ready to go see Reinette. He picked up wine on the way back to his and got changed, he'd been first covered in dust and then tea as Lyssa was attempting clearly to balance too many jobs at once for her.

He rang the door bell and stepped back, holding the wine and looking much more relaxed. This wasn't a conversation he was dreading, he was looking forwards to it, he was looking forwards to spending time with Reinette.

Hearing the door, she jumped to her feet. Her eyes widened, realizing that he was here. Reaching up, she smoothed her hair down once more. Heading to the door, she peered into the mirror, checking her reflection before she went to the door.

She opened it with a warm smile on her face. "Ianto. It is a pleasure to see you." She stepped back and held the door open so he could step through.

	Iant smiled back stepping past her then stopping to turn back to give her a poilte kiss on the cheek as a hello. "I brought the wine, madame." He hadn't stopped smiling yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She closed the door. He really was a beautiful man. Sometimes she wondered how she had become so lucky. Stepping forward, she pressed a kiss to his lips, right where the lips meet the corner. "Thank you good sir." She smiled and stepped away, taking his hand and pulling him after her. "I made steak. Just like you informed me to." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-07 02:18 pm UTC (link)
	"So you're trying to out do me?" He joked. If anyone was lucky there it was clearly him. More than content to follow such a woman like her. "Thank you." He stopped her and pulled her close to him to give her a kiss. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-07 02:20 pm UTC (link)
	She chuckled. "I could never out do you. You are the Ianto Jones." She kissed him in return, one hand raising to cup the back of his neck. She made the kiss slow and passionate. "The food will burn," she mumbled against his lips. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-07 09:53 pm UTC (link)
	Let it. He nearly said. "You're right, or we could let it, be an excuse to order pizza and just talk. Owen's fault I know the best places for pizza between here, mine and his. Pick up this for Lys would you?" He put his arms around her and danced her to the kitchen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-07 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	"Aw but I went to so much trouble." She looked up at him, laughing as she danced with him and held one hand on the wine bottle. The least she could do was hold it so that it didn't get dropped onto the floor. She did not wish to clean that up as well. She smiled and leaned against one of the kitchen counters. "You pick. As you wish." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-07 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh no, ladies choice." Ianto stepped back to take the wine from her again to pour two glasses. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-07 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	She watched him. "Well the food will be burned soon. We better make a decision?" She licked her lips, reaching up and toying with the collar of her button down blouse she was wearing. Her fingers played with the fabric as her eyes watched him like a hawk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-08 12:00 am UTC (link)
	He turned back and blinked. If she kept doing that it certainly would be and he wouldn't care at all. "We should at least try to save it?" He ony partly mumbled then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-08 12:02 am UTC (link)
	"Then save it we will," she murmured. She turned, her back to him. With a grin, she began to get out plates, silverware, and flip over the steaks. She wanted to make sure that everything was done. And it was. Slowly, she began to plate up the food. And maybe she was wiggling her hips a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If her intention was to make him drop the wine then he nearly did. "Next time my turn to cook?" He asked. "That is if you want there to be a next time still?" He went to set two glasses on the table and go back to help her if he could, or maybe just watch her, either worked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-08 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	She turned back to look at Ianto, looking rather upset. "You don't want us to have a next time?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-09 07:35 pm UTC (link)
	"No." Ianto began. "Not like this. Maybe not even in London. That's what I was here to talk about." He smiled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-09 07:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Not in London..." She smiled. "Well then where did you have in mind?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-09 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Cardiff." It was just one captial to another. "It's where my job was, is, where my friends are going to be too, I'd love you to come with me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-09 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	Reinette smiled warmly at him. "Hmm, I do not know this Cardiff." She picked up the plates and carried them across to the small dining table she had. Then she got out some wine glasses. "I am very intrigued. I might like this idea, moving..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-09 08:27 pm UTC (link)
	"The whole moving isn't that much fun. Boxes everywhere, things organised." Who was he kidding he liked it really. "Cardiff, the captial of Wales, definitely not as big as London, still lots of people, shops, a castle. It's nice. I liked living there before." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-09 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	She smiled as she poured two glasses of wine and sat down at the table. Looking up at Ianto, her rather coy smile said it all. She could easily tell that he would enjoy the moving. Mr organizer that he was. "And what would I do? Where would I live?" She shrugged her shoulders. "Would we live together?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-09 08:45 pm UTC (link)
	"With me." Ianto nodded. "I mean if you wanted that was, and could get you a job there maybe, least you'd know Lyssa there." He followed and sat down looking hopeful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-09 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	She began to eat her supper, smiling at him in between bites. She was contemplating the offer. "I'd like that, perhaps. I am unsure what role I could take..." She tilted her head to the side. "If this is a different world, then aliens and the future are certainly a step forward." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-09 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	"You could help me." He said before he started eating. "Or find you another job in town? Anything you'd like to do?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-09 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Help you how?" She smiled. "Organize your organizing?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-09 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Exactly, remind me I need to have breaks and help with the archives." There was the hint of something way he smiled then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-10 04:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Why, my fear Ianto, do I get the impression that I woud not be helping or working very much?" She smiled, winking at him as she took a bite of her dinner. "Well, if you feel that there is something for me, then I am... willing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-10 05:35 pm UTC (link)
	"You could do anything you wanted, there's a whole city too." He remembered to eat again and not just sit smiling at her. He was also tempted to say when not out chasing down aliens not helping or doing much work seemed to function well for Torchwood. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-10 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	She took a sip of the wine, thinking it over. "I wish to meet your, what do you call him, Captain?" She poked the food around on her plate, but she wasn't very hungry. She had ate half of it, so she felt a little accomplishment. "I wish to know more about what you do?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-10 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Jack?" Ianto blinked. "Er, don't see why you couldn't meet Jack." He couldn't help but be slightly worried at the idea of the two of them meeting. "I'm sure I can ask him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-10 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, he is the one in charge of you, no? He would be the one to give me orders if I was to work with you?" She tilted her head to the side, examining him. Reading him, really. "What is wrong?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-10 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, er yes..." He put knife and fork down before beginning. "Well him and me, Jack and I... we used to..." Date wasn't the word at all. "There was something between us, he's an ex." He didn't know how else to put it and wasn't for venturing to using any of Owen's wonderful ways of saying it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-10 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	She was quiet, thinking it over. So not only was she meeting a boss, his boss, but his ex as well. Hmm... "That shouldn't matter," she murmured softly, but she was thinking about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-10 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Really?" He hoped it wouldn't, really hoped it wouldn't bother her. But the fact she was quiet bothered him slightly. Still he thought he'd done the best thing telling her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-10 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	"Really..." She reached across the table and took his hand, squeezing it. "Just... You never told me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-11 12:01 am UTC (link)
	"I didn't think it was important, it's over, it's been over a while. He has someone else now." He covered her hand with his. "I should have said sooner." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-11 12:11 am UTC (link)
	She squeezed his hand. "And you do as well. Have someone..." She shook her head. "It is in your past. It is not relevant now, not in the way you think." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-11 12:15 am UTC (link)
	"I do." He looked a little more comforted by that then, still he couldn't help but wonder why Jack didn't want him anymore and he wasn't prepared to go ask him. "I'll do my best to introduce you to him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-11 12:29 am UTC (link)
	"Perhaps. If you're with me." She stood up and took her plate. "Are you done with yours?" She winked at him. "Time for dessert." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-11 10:14 am UTC (link)
	"Okay." He nodded. "I am." He looked up to her and smiled. "Dessert?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-11 08:41 pm UTC (link)
	With a smile, she leaned down and gave him a passionate kiss, cupping his cheek with her palm. "And not just me," she murmured, taking the plates and heading into the kitchen. She was in there a while, at least twenty minutes, before she came back into the other room. She smiled and handed him one plate, then put down another in her spot. "Cherry cheesecake." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-11 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	He sat waiting and staring for a while where she went before he went back momentarily to quietly panicking about her and Jack meeting. He looked at the plate. "Wow, not had cheesecake for a while. Looks great." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-11 09:05 pm UTC (link)
	Instead of sitting across from him, she chose to sit next to him for dessert. Lifting her fork, she took a forkful of cake and held it up to his lips, giving him a coy smile as she did so. "It's tasty, I promise," she murmured. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-11 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	Ianto took a bite of the cake she offered him, it was good. "S'good. Here." He picked up his fork and got some for her to have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-12 12:51 am UTC (link)
	She smiled and took a bite, letting her lips and tongue lick at the fork. She moaned softly at the sweet texture. "It's good." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ianto had never wanted to be a cuttlery more than at that moment. That's right he was jealous of a fork. He couldn't look away or really reply. It took him a moment to focus again.

"Mmhmm." He dropped the fork and gently put his hands on her face and leant in to kiss her. It wasn't a big competition with what or rather who he wanted more then, she would win over cheesecake without a moments thought.

	Reinette chuckled. She had known all along what she was doing and the affect it would have upon him. She just didn't think it would be so powerful. She kissed him back, leaning into his touch, eyes fluttering shut. She could taste the cherry on his lips. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-12 01:19 am UTC (link)
	He pushed his chair back and stood up, holding his hand to her to stand up. Well if she knew what she had been doing and that was her desired effect on him, it was clear where he was going next with her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elic 2008-04-12 01:24 am UTC (link)
	She let him stand her up, easily getting to her feet. She chuckled, kissing him deeper, and yes she knew where he'd go next. It was about time... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-04-12 01:35 am UTC (link)
	He put his arms around her and lifted her up to carry her to her bedroom. Well he'd just have to make up for taking his time about getting there. (Reply to this) (Parent)
