For some reason, ZJ didn’t think that Hyperion would ever lose points. It was a ridiculous though, she knew that as soon as it had crossed her mind. She didn’t really know him, anything could happen. She had to keep reminding herself of that because it was so incredibly easy to get lost in those beautiful blues of his, and that damn accent. He was intoxicating from his laugh to the way he looked at her. She wanted to know more, she wanted to know if what she was feeling was completely ridiculous or if it could be something more. The fact that he had asked her on a date and didn’t just call her up for a booty call was what was giving her the courage to think about the entire situation a bit more seriously, less like this was a one night stand and more like this could potentially be a relationship down the road.
“You’re already planning to lose points? Are you planning any interruptions for tonight too?” She couldn’t help poking fun at it all, it had amused her that just as things were about to get good… His work had called and ruined the entire night. She had at least replaced the Sober Up that he had used the day before, just in case it would be needed again. She had even picked up a few extra hangover potions, just in case. She had been low anyway.
“You brought bribery for Nancy? Her love can’t be bought, you know.” ZJ’s expression gave her real feelings away though, it had warmed when she saw those treats. She tried to think if anyone had ever brought Nancy anything before, she was positive the only people who did that were her parents. Her father as always bringing treats for the large ginger baby. She was most definitely impressed, more points in his favor.
“If you don’t watch it, I might think you’re courting me or something.” ZJ told him as she took the flowers from him. Those words had given her goose bumps, hearing her name in that accent. It caused her to bite her full lower lip, she wanted to kiss him. She wanted to grab him by the shirt, pull him to her level, and kiss him. It’d make them late though, she had wanted her outfit to be the reason he made them late. She was stubborn enough that she didn’t want him to win that war they had going, she wanted him to be the one to make them late.
As she reached for the flowers, she realized she could tease him in much the same way he had the night before. Get very close to kissing him, but not actually lay her lips on his. She took the flowers and in the same motion leaned in close to him, pressing a feather soft kiss against the side of his mouth. “Thank you, Hyp.” She gave him a coy smile, peeking at him from under her lashes before she moved away so that she could go about putting the flowers into water. The treats had been forgotten by the mistress, though had not been forgotten or unnoticed by the ginger that was now watching Hyperion with bright and curious eyes. A few moments later saw the large mane coon climbing from the couch and making her way over to the doorway where the man stood. Large intelligent eyes peered up at him, mowing a moment later in case he wasn’t watching and didn’t realize the large cat wanted those treats.
