Nah, I should be good. Unless it's super fancy. Text me the address and I can meet you there.
Then it sounds like a plan. I appreciate it, Kyle. Thanks.
[She knew she'd have to tell him why she returned so quickly, and she would, but maybe she'd wait until they were done with dinner. She wasn't going to stay with him super long, she didn't want to impose, but at least until she sorted out her next step.]
You know…We should go out and do something Friday night or Saturday.
I’ve gotten more than a few looks and a few blunt questions about our relationship. I just keep telling them the same thing, it’s the sex that keeps me.
I can't deny the truth of that. It's a place you can hide i. As we talked about others, there's been some that did it as well for a long time.
I like that part a lot, honestly. You know I'm here to help too, with everything else. It'll be nice having someone here that knows my secrets and is okay with them.
It makes sense, honestly. And there’s a charm to the place that I’m enjoying.
Oh good. I admit, the seeing you more part was a motivation.
I appreciate that more than you know, Kyle. And maybe you can help me if I need a training partner - or at least someone to tell me that I need to train. ;)
That said, I’m glad to be here for you as well. To give you someone to talk to that you don’t have to hide with.
Saves me from using up all my leave to come visit you places. Or begging you to come here.
I'd love to start training with you. Trust me. I'll put you through your paces. Do you think this body came with vampirism? Naw, I worked out hard before I was turned.
That's the best part, honestly. I'm so excited to think about having you here more.
I mean that. Maybe it was when I opened that door topless the first night and you didn't so much as blink but I've always felt... I don't know the right word for it but, right? Natural? Around you.
[ While simultaneously making her extra aware of how it feels to be close to him. ]
I want to do the same with you.
So... how does Friday night or Saturday night look for you for that date?
[ Was it a date? Have they even talked about this or have they just grown closer without even talking about it? Probably yes to both. ]
You're also really attractive. But it was your bedside manner. And just how each we got along... you took my sob story in stride.
Do I?
[ She didn't mean that as a means of stroking her ego, she was genuinely surprised to hear that. Part of her kept expecting everyone around her to say it was too much or that she was too much, especially considering how much she's changed since their deaths. ]
I will always be that someone as well. Please, don't ever forget that.
I'll see you then and I'll talk to some people I know about prospective properties. Get some ideas. Let me know when you're close and I'll head home with food.
I'll be sure to tell you every opportunity that I have.
You may need to remind me on occasion. I'm not so used to someone being there and I'm glad, for the record, that it's you.
I don't doubt that the drive from Taos to Roswell will give me ample time to get ideas. At the very least, I need a bedroom and either a basement or a separate room that I can use for potions/magic if it's not outside the realm of possibility.
I'll let you know when I'm an hour out. I've missed you.
Just for you.

This time, not stabbed!
I don't suppose you'd want to grab a bite with me, would you?
Also, know of a place I can stay for a little bit? Otherwise, I'm going to become a regular at that motel.
no subject
I think I could definitely make time for dinner with someone that isn't a pincushion.
Well that depends. I have an extra bedroom but if that's creepy.
no subject
Apparently, that giant coffee ran through me quicker than expected. Not that you need to know that at all.
Oh good. I was hoping that would be the case.
At this point, I think we're beyond that. What with the blood thing. So that's fine with me... if it's fine with you?
no subject
I even know the perfect place. I'll send you the address. Unless you want to change and all first? Whichever you prefer.
It's definitely fine with me. I don't get a lot of company so it'll be nice.

I’m kidding, obviously I don’t say that.
no subject
I'm good with either. Just curious what I'll be doing.
no subject
Besides we both know that I’d be the one ran out of town. ;)
no subject
I'm not sure I want to fight with you though. Sorry. I enjoy having you around.
no subject
I'm glad we're on the same page because I don't really want to fight with you either. I enjoy being around you far too much.
no subject
I'm glad to hear that. More glad that you're here now. I think Roswell should become a regular stop for you.
no subject
I'm glad I'm here as well.
I was thinking... I don't really have a home base anymore. Maybe... I can find a place around here.
no subject
Here that is?
Really?
no subject
And I’ll get to see you.
If you wouldn’t mind me being around a little more…

no subject
I figured with that body of yours, you put some hard work into it.
That would really help. It's been... probably too long since I trained like that.
Okay, in general. Not just physically.
I am too. I don't think I was that excited about living in Seattle but I am here. With you.
no subject
Then we'll get something started and see what we can do. Together.
Good. That means the world to me. I'm glad you're going to be here regularly. I want to spend so much more time with you.

I actually like knowing that.
You do so much for me, and I don't think you know it. That you're going to be here regularly means a lot.
[ Maybe they haven't said these things in so many words yet but she's right, it's time they do. ]
Make it Friday? I work an early shift Thursday and can even be rested by Friday night.
no subject
Do I?
[ She didn't mean that as a means of stroking her ego, she was genuinely surprised to hear that. Part of her kept expecting everyone around her to say it was too much or that she was too much, especially considering how much she's changed since their deaths. ]
I'm really glad to hear that.
Friday night then - it's a date. I'm excited!
no subject
It wasn't a sob story, but you need someone to listen and be there for you.
I know it may seem odd, but having someone that I can just be open and honest with means a lot to me.
I am too. I can't wait to see you.
no subject
I appreciate that you've been that someone, Kyle.
You know... I understand that probably more than anyone. And the fact that we'll have each other is pretty great. It's been a long time.
I'll be heading back toward Roswell tonight or tomorrow depending on how this job goes. And after that, I'll start looking for a place.
no subject
I will always be that someone as well. Please, don't ever forget that.
I'll see you then and I'll talk to some people I know about prospective properties. Get some ideas. Let me know when you're close and I'll head home with food.
