almost ran into them when she went out to get her mail. It takes her a moment to realize what she's looking at before she crouches down to-
-examine the sack. She really hoped it wasn't body parts or something.
didn't leave a name on anything, at least not visible. The sack was just full of something rather light.
she opens it, peeking inside. She wondered what it was.
had put every single card he had in there from previous years for her.
stares, confused. She reaches in and pulls out one of the cars, reading it over. She smiles. She idly wonders who could have done this.-
-The tulips are a dead give away, but.. Why would Nikolaas do this?
wanted to respond to what she said a few days ago...
she takes everything inside. He didn't have to get her all these things. She would have been happy with him coming over.
might have been great with some romantic things, but he was still nervous.
( I saw so many red tulips yesterday. I wanted some. ;; )
smiles to herself. No one else would have gotten her tulips. She wonders.. if she should call him?
((I saw so many today. And people carryin' 'em around. And chocolate. -w- ))
... would probably be awkward on the phone.

when he isn't awkward, honestly. She calls him anyway.
( -jealous- I saw this chick carrying the most gorgeous bouquet of white roses... -wanted to die- ))
((Baw. S'okay. People here take it seriously. Where as I just wait for tomorrow. ))
looked at his phone and fidgeted a bit before answering it. "Hallo...?"
( I just want white roses, damn it. XD That's all. ))
curls up on the couch where she had laid out all of the valentine cards. "Hallo. How are you?"
shrugs a bit. "I'm fine."
nods. "Good." She brushes her hair back a little. "I wanted to thank you for the flowers and everything."
"Ah... you're... welcome..."
- "I'm sorry I didn't get you anything... I just.. figured you wouldn't want to even see me.."
"It's okay..." He was use to not getting Valentine's things.
would have gotten him something had he not just.. left. She thought he didn't want anything to do with her after that. "Will you come over?"
for a moment. "Ah... I need to do a few things here first. It won't take long, but..."
smiles. "Take your time.." She would make him breakfast, then, while she waited.
nods a little. "... Be there soon." He hung up and got ready before going into the city centre.
gets to work on breakfast. >w<
arrives a while later, with a few bags of chocolates and flowers.
opens the door, a smile on her lips. She's a bit surprised by the chocolates and flowers, though. "Hallo, come in." :3
nods and walks in, putting the bags to the side and sighing a bit.
really wants to hug him, but.. She clears her throat and gestures for him to follow her into the kitchen. "Coffee?"
nods. She'd boiled hot water too. She pours him a cup before adding the tea bag. "You didn't have to bring me anything else, Nikolaas."
nods. "I know... it's mostly for me..."
smiles. She sets the cup on the table. "Sit. I made waffles and French toast. Which do you want?"
... sits down. "Waffles..." He said quietly.
places two waffles onto a plate for him, adorning the plate with fresh berries and powdered sugar before setting the plate down in front-
starts eating, trying to hold in the joy he got from them. He had missed these oh so much it wasn't funny.
would be glad to know he enjoys them. She gets some french toast for herself before taking a seat. She would let him eat in peace.
appreciated that. He just continued to eat happily, loving them.
sips her coffee. She really enjoys his presence. No matter how quiet he is.
felt a little awkward here, but he was glad to be here.
Elyse

why. It was just her.
knew that, but he wasn't use to being in her house.
- "I got you something, too."
slowly looks at her after putting a berry in his mouth.
looks up at him, smiling. "What?" She had said she hadn't gotten him anything, but.. she'd scrapped something together last minute.
kind of hoping she hadn't...
still wish she hadn't. He'd feel more awkward now.
would try not to act awkward.
finishes everything on his plate a little after.
sips from her coffee. "Did you want more?" She made a lot of waffles..
... nods slightly as he looked away.
smiles and stands up to get him some more. She hopes he doesn't mind that she's tending to him a bit.
( she makes a good house wife. =P ))
doesn't. He'd normally get things himself, but he figured this was easier. He went back to eating soon after.
finishes up her coffee before going to wash the dishes.
finished a while later, along with his tea. "Dank u. It was good."
- "Dank u~" She was glad he enjoyed it.
nods and licks his lips slowly, getting the taste off.
smiles. "Let me go get your present. You can watch t.v in the living room~"
nods and slowly gets up and to the living room. He sat down and just waited and looked around.
comes downstairs a few moments later, wearing dark red lipstick and simple eyeliner. She was wearing a coat though, with a red ribbon on-
-the front. "So~ I couldn't get you anything extravagant.. But, since you enjoy the red like district, I thought you might like... You know~
- um, and no, not sex. Just a peek."
blushes when he saw that and just kind of stared at her for a while... before getting up to put his hands on her.
didn't think he'd actually react at all. She's a little shocked, but she smiles and keeps silent, not wanting to spook him.
wasn't an animal. He just never thought he'd see something like this from her. He slowly ran his hands down her sides, almost in a trance.
never said he was. She just knew how he was, and if she said the wrong thing, he might get upset.
doubts he'd get upset right now. This is what he's wanted for a long time. Well, almost what he wanted. But it was a much closer step.
Elyse

what it is he really wants, then.
wanted her... all for himself...
Elyse
thinks 13 years ago
he should say something. She relaxes against his chest, closing her eyes.
couldn't say anything. He was too lost in his thoughts right now.
lifts her head to look up at him. "What are you thinking about?"
brought a hand up to her cheek. "You..."
blushes faintly. "Oh? What about me?"
runs his thumb lightly over her cheek. "You... with me..."
's heart almost stops. "... Really?"
nods as he looked in her eyes.
smiles and hugs him tight. Words couldn't describe how happy she was right now.
blinks a bit before wrapping his arms around her in return.
- "I accept." She finally says, resting her cheek against his chest.
smiles and tightened his hold on her. That made him more happy than words could say.
snuggles him. Part of her thought this was too good to be true.
thought the exact same. Maybe he was high.
really hopes he isn't.. Because if he takes this back, she's going to punch him.
didn't remember smoking any pot today.
smiles at that faintly and held her tighter.
Elyse
thinks 13 years ago
this turned out to be a very good Valentines day
thought so too. He had always wanted to give her those cards...
Elyse
wonders 13 years ago
if that's why there were so many...
couldn't get the nerves to deliver them before. So she got them all now.
Elyse
thinks 13 years ago
it might actually be better that way.
just thought it was. She didn't know how to explain it.
hoped she didn't mind them.
glad... "So..." He said quietly as he slowly ran his hands down her sides again.
rests his forehead against hers. "What do we do with the rest of the day?"
hums, smiling. "Do you want to go out or stay in?"
shrugs. "I've done all I needed to go out... mostly."
- "Mostly? What did you miss?"
"I some times visit the beaches... the water this time of year isn't that bad. So some people swim."
nods a little. "I'd not mind a swim..."
smiles. "Okay. Let me just change."
nods and holds her a bit before letting her go, realising he'd have to.
kisses his cheek before going upstairs.
blushes and looks away, waiting.
returns not long after in a bikini cover up dress if only to be modest until they could get in the water. "Did you want to get swim trunks?"
nods. "That would be best..."
- "I'll drive~" She goes to grab her bag and keys before he can protest. >3
makes a sound. "W-we can walk to my house, then I'll drive..."
pretends not to hear him. "Close the door on your way out." She calls before stepping outside.
sighs and follows her, closing the door.
gets into the drivers seat before leaning over to unlock the passenger door.
gets in and instantly does up his seatbelt.
drives towards his place. She wasn't that horrible a driver, really.
speeds up and when they near his house and brings the car to a screeching halt in his drive-way. Just to spite him. -w-
rolls his eyes and gets out. "I'll be back in a minute."
goes inside and after a few moments he's out, a small bag with him as he got back in the car.
hums softly. "Which way~?"
- "Down the street, then left. After that, follow the signs."
tells her were to park then gets ou and sighs.
follows after him. She smiles a little, loving the smell of the salt water in the air.
glad not too many were around. He brought the bag with him. "Pick a spot for us to sit."
leads the way. "Are you going to get in the water?"
nods. The water was apart of him in many ways.
finds a decent spot and sets her bag down, digging around in her bag in order to find her beach towel.
does much the same, putting the towel on the sand before sitting and starting to take his clothes off.
isn't staring. She sets her towel down neatly before taking a seat as well.
ran a hand through his hair once he was in just his swimming trunks.
clears her throat softly, looking away now as he pulled off the cover-up.
might have glanced over to her.
too busy trying not to look at him to notice. "You need sunblock before you go in the water."
shakes his head. "I don't burn easily."
- "It's to protect your skin, dork. Come here." She rummages in her bag for it.
frowns. "I don't like it though..." He hated how it felt.
- "Fine, fine. Kill your skin cells." She pops open the bottle and starts putting some on herself.
nods. She gets her legs first and her arms before laying on her stomach so he can get her back. "Here~"
watches her for a moment before lightly putting sunscreen on her back, paying more attention to detail than he should.
relaxes, making a content little sound.
finishes up technically, but kept rubbing her back and shoulders.
- "Can you get the back of my thighs?" She asks softly, knowing she could have done it herself, but~ he did offer.
... doesn't need to be told twice before doing so.
rests her cheek on her folded arms, closing her eyes. "Dank u~"
nods and finishes a bit later.
let him go in the water now if he wants~ =w=
join him in a bit. She wanted to soak up a little sun first.
watched her a bit before getting up and heading towards the water then.
watches him go, smiling to herself.
stepped into the water slowly, letting himself adjust to it as he enjoyed the view.
just watches him for now.
didn't notice. He was enjoying the sand beneath his feet and the water.
after a few moments, she stands up and goes to get in the water.
just standing in the water, waist deep. He liked to just stand and take it all in.
walks up behind him, hugging him lightly from behind.
makes a small sound and looks over to her.
smiles before letting go and moving to step further into the water.
watched her closely. He couldn't believe she was here with him now.
slips full into the water, moving to float around a bit. The water was a bit chilly.
continued to watch her before trailing in more, eventually just gliding in.
takes a breath and dives into the water.
pulls her under suddenly.
flails, panicking a little. Hey! :/ She'd been lost in thought, darn it.
smirks and lets her go before going back to the surface.
((Kay, I gotta sleep. -w-; Night~))
swims up to the surface, brushing her hair back from her face. :/
had to push some hair away from his eyes, not use for it being down like that.
it when it's down. She splashes water at him. "Jerk."
blocks it and just splashes her back for fun.
laughs softly. "What if I had punched you by accident?"
rolls his eyes. "Wouldn't happen."
shrugs and just continued to swim around.
