Mischief Makers (officially open)

[Angeleyz]

*sneaks back into the cabin in an attempt to hide from her household chores and spots a familiar face*

Well, hello there, stranger... Long time, no see...

 

[Noon_Shadow]

Sits up after a moment and catches Angel, then grins and nods, setting his feet back down onto the floor. Oh, hey there. Yeah, I guess I've been away a little bit. But I'm back around today.

Smiles and slips over to give her a hug. How has your weekend gone so far?

 

[Angeleyz]

*gives him a little squeeze of her own*

Cold... Lost the upstairs furnace earlier in the week and they won't be installing the new one until tomorrow. Just in time for the c-c-c-cold temperatures! *mutters darkly*

Makes it really hard to get out of bed when you know it's going to suck when you throw off the covers.

But if I'm trying to make lemonade... At least it prepared us for going outside yesterday and today.

Well, it's good to make lemonade when possible. Grins teasingly. I just drink lots more coffee when it's cold. Which is my own brand of lemonade, I suppose. Chuckles.

And I guess you can just bundle up more when you're at home. Gives her a quick wink.

 

[Angeleyz]

Lol, aye.. No Lit uniform for me right now... I have so many layers on I have to give myself a 10 minute warning before using the bathroom.

Chuckles. That's a bit of an issue, though. There's a lot of valuable time lost. And it makes it a bit more uncomfortable, too-have to plan your bathroom breaks strategically.

He tilts his head thoughtfully. Wait, what is your typical Lit uniform, anyway? He grins and then slips over to the bar to fix himself a cup of coffee. Care for anything?

*shaking her head at her loose lips* Ummmm, nothing big, but I'd love a cup of coffee right now.... Soooooooo, been to any more basketball games?

 

[Noon_Shadow]

Laughs at her skillfully changing the subject and then shakes his head. No, but thanks for asking. I've been busy. Had a day trip visit with a friend of mine, and I haven't had a lot of disposable income the past couple of weeks. But that's not a big issue.

Grins at her and then pours a cup of coffee for himself and then one for her, adding a bit of sugar and cream to his own. Cream? Sugar? Gives her a quick wink. And don't think you're off the hook about the uniform question... Smirking slightly.

*looks at him with a small grin tugging at her lips* Yes, please... I have a wee addiction to both...

*wrinkles her nose when she realizes he's not been distracted from his earlier question*

I should make you guess...

 

[Noon_Shadow]

Nods at her and grabs the sugar bowl and a pitcher of creamer, carrying both over to set on the table next to her and then returns to grab his coffee and hers. I'll just leave these here for you then.

He slips down next to her on the couch and grins, glancing down at her before looking back at her thoughtfully. Hmm, guessing games are fun. But what do I get if I win, hmm? He narrows his eyes at her face thoughtfully, tilting up the corners of his lips in amusement.

 

[Angeleyz]

*adds a teaspoon of sugar and a quick pour of creamer into her coffee before stirring it carefully*

You want a prize, do you? *peeks at him from the corner of her eye* The satisfaction of figuring it out yourself isn't good enough?

( On a different note, the hubby can't give me shit about the number of kitchen towels I have anymore... Not when I just pulled out a dryer worth of rags for his damn bike! )

 

[Noon_Shadow]

Grins at Angel wickedly, then scoots in a little closer playfully. He takes a sip from his coffee and then sets it back down on the table. Oh, well, I do like prizes, after all. It would be interesting to see what you'd be willing to forfeit.

Also, the number of towels in the kitchen is an amusing thing to go back and forth about. I used to have a roommate that thought it was odd that I kept a roll of paper towels by my computer desk. Shrugs and then reaches up and starts lightly stroking Angel's hair.

 

[Angeleyz]

*takes a sip of coffee to hide her smile* Forfeit? Oh, I hate wagers... I always lose... *thinking back to the time in college she tried to use jewelry as items of clothing in a strip poker game *

*lifts a brow at the paper towels by the computer desk* Yeah, except my towels are for dishes, not for... well, I can only guess why you'd need it by your computer.

 

[Noon_Shadow]

Rolls his eyes at her. Geez, not for anything like that, you perverted angel. Chuckles and glances down at her. It's just that I often have a beverage of some sort because I'm a thirsty person, and I also spill. So I like to be prepared.

He strokes her head gently and then leans down to kiss her forehead. And yeah, of course jewelry doesn't count in strip poker, geez! He sticks his tongue out. But hmmm, what would be fair in this case? I'm sure I'll have to think of something.

 

[Angeleyz]

*blushes and refrains from pointing out that spills were what she was thinking of in the first place*

*sighs softly as he plays with her hair, thinking it was very ungentlemanly to use her kryptonite against her when she was trying to be wily*

 

[Angeleyz]

Gotta get my kids to swim practice... Be back in about 10-15 minutes, so you have time to scheme...

 

[Noon_Shadow]

Shakes his head. See you later, Angel. I'll scheme while you are gone.

 

[Angeleyz]

*steps back inside shivering*

Man, that wind sucks... Am going to have to dry my daughter's hair tonight before we leave for sure.

 

[Noon_Shadow]

Yeah, the wind can be really terrible. You'll bundle up enough that you're able to stay warm, but there's still this wind that cuts through everything. Nods and smiles.

Where are you going with your daughter tonight?

 

[Angeleyz]

My son has swim practice now, and she'll have her practice immediately following. They have shower facilities here, so they always take their shower here so I can hustle them to bed faster when we get home.

My daughter's hair is so thick that if she were to put her hair in a bun tonight, it would still be wet this time tomorrow night. And since we're looking at 55 degrees in the house again tonight... I better make sure it's dried before we leave.

 

[Noon_Shadow]

Oooh, 55 is way too cold. You need an electric space heater if the furnace is messed up. So yeah, you'd better get her dry. And the wind. Nods.

Also, that is a nice, convenient way to get rid of the kids. He sticks his tongue out at her playfully.

 

[Angeleyz]

Hey... Mama needs play time too...

 

[Noon_Shadow]

He smiles at her sweetly and then leans down and kisses her mouth quickly. Yes, she does. He gives her a playful wink.

 

[Angeleyz]

*brings a hand to her lips as her cheeks flare*

Two kisses in two days - be still my heart...

 

[Noon_Shadow]

Smiles at her again and gives her another wink, studying her thoughtfully as he strokes her hair. He drapes his arm across her shoulder. Well, then, I suppose I'm in good company, at that.

He chuckles and then leans back down to her, lips teasing her cheek before he cups the back of her head and kissing her mouth, pulling her face into his a bit tighter. His other hand rests on her knee as he holds the kiss, smiling inwardly as he tastes her mouth.
