Barbara was humming away in the kitchen in a very good mood. She’d closed on a deal first thing this morning, faster than she had thought she would, made cookies with the extra time she had, they were now cooling on a tray, chocolate milk was in the fridge and Billy was on his way over. She had decided, after her feelings for Billy had been accidentally discovered by her friend Elizabeth who had gained telepathy during a bout of OC craziness, that she should just accept things as they were and be happy with the way her life was. And she did have a lot to be happy about, despite her unorthodox love life.
Billy had been having a great day. Filming was winding down and things were a little sad at work, but he had prospects for the future and he was looking forward to a new start and a new chance when he headed to the University in January for some classes to go with his high school ones. He had to tell Barbara about that, and was bouncing. He had not been expecting to get accepted late, but he had, and now the new year would be awesome!
Arriving at her place, and knocking, he smiled, hopeful she was in as good a mood as he was.
Barbara made her way to the door and smiled brightly as she opened it, "Hey Billy" she greeted, hugging him easily as she welcomed him in, "How are you today?"
He stepped in and hugged her tight, smiling. “I am great! How are you? You look amazing!” He kissed her cheek, near her ear, and if one hand was almost on her rear, it was not quite there. He pulled back then and nodded, eyes bright. “I missed you.”
“I’m good. Thank you” she blushed slightly from him compliment and kiss, she wasn’t going to mention his hand. It was harmless after all. “I missed you too Billy” she told him, “I made cookies, shall we have some and you can tell me what you’ve been up to?” she suggested.
“Sounds good! I brought chocolate milks!” he grinned at her and stepped back to let her go to the kitchen, and to follow along. “I’ve missed you.” Shush, so what if it had been only a week.
She smiled and led the way to the kitchen, “Is seven days too much?” she teased him, “Maybe we need to increase our get togethers” not that she thought either of them really had time to do so, as much as it would be nice. She pulled a plate from the cupboard and set about transferring cookies onto it so they could take them to the living room to eat, drink and catch up.
“I don’t think we could, really, right now. Maybe someday we can remove the whole having to visit part.” By living together. La la la. Billy’s grin was innocent! Innocent I tell you!
“I know” Barbara replied with a wistful smile before she raised her eyebrows at his next comment, she couldn’t stop a smile blooming on her face though at his attempt to look innocent. “You are terrible” she told him fondly before picking up the tray to move them into the living room.
Billy stuck out his tongue at her. “Nah. Just know what I want. And ready to wait for it.” Even if he was still looking into emancipation. “How was work?” Best to change the subject as he followed her and admired the view.
She blushed but the fond smile remained on her face as she led the way, she felt the same so she couldn’t really scold him for it. “Work is as it always is really” she told him, bending to set the tray on the table before sitting on the sofa, “Although I managed to close a deal this morning a lot sooner than I had thought, hence making the cookies”
He settled next to her and grinned. after having checked her out again, when she bent over. He sighed. Stupid underage laws.
“Congrats! That is awesome!” He hugged her then grinned. “You are very awesome at your job.”
Barbara laughed and returned the hug happily, “Thank you Billy” she said smiling, “That’s very sweet of you to say”
Billy smiled. “Just true. You do this place good. And you are a good person.”
"You're already a better person than I'll ever be" she told him, cupping his cheek before realising her actions and dropping her hand.
Billy poked her. “Bah humbug. I aspire and am inspired, to and by you.” He poked her again, just because, relishing that brief moment of contact.
She batted his hand away while giggling, "I think you have it the wrong way round" she told him between light laughter, "you are a constant source of inspiration for me"
His face softened. "Thank you. That means a lot to me." He smiled softly.
"It's the truth" she softly replied with a smile reaching out to squeeze his hand. "Now cookies and you can tell me how school is going"
“Sounds like a plan.” He raised her hand to kiss it, winking, then snatched a cookie, and mmmed. “And you can tell me about your work, too.” It sounded like a very good evening to him.
She blushed but laughed as he kissed her hand and gave her such a cheeky look. "Mine isn't all that interesting but if you insist" Taking a cookie herself she sat back and waited for him to start.
And so he told her of his work, and life. A quiet tale,and not very exciting. But being around her, well, that made everything better.
