The day was dragging by like a turtle in a race. I was not in the best mood, Lilah had stormed into my office first thing in the morning asking me what was going on. I honestly had no idea what she was blathering on about, i just wanted to get a few cases on the judges' docket and get out of there, I had a lot to do before I headed over to Tara's

The night and day had been pretty uneventful unless you count all of my boxes I unpacked. I realized at about two am that I was unpacking and setting the apartment up like I wasn't going to leave, at least not for a long while. I liked the feel of that. I liked the idea of settling down for a while

[theurbancowboy]

I could smell the sauce as soon as she opened the door. It was a good thing I hadn't brought an entire meal to prepair.

"I plead the fifth Miss McClay." I said grinning as I walked into the kitchen. I know it seemed as if I thought I owned the place but more than anything else I just felt comfortable.

She followed me and I couldn't imagine a cuter face on anyone than that slightly amused yet perplexed look she had on her face.

"Don't worry, I figure I should make up for being a complete ass in the beginning. Luckily I didn't go all out like I was planning or someone's meal would be wasted."

I took the bag from her and put it down. I looked at her, I stood there like a foolish school girl, despite the fact that I'm not a girl. I smiled at her.

"Do you think I could entice a kiss from the woman occupying my thoughts night and day?" I asked confidently.

[magick_goddess]

I followed him into the kitchen, he walked through the apartment like he lived here, I liked that he felt comfortable here. "You look like you brought enough to make dinner for an army..." I mused as I peaked in a bag.

I shrugged. "I only got to the sauce, it's not a big deal Lindsey." He looked at me and he seemed nervous for some reason. I smiled when he asked if he could kiss me. I thought I was going to melt into the floor, that was just so....sweet.

I walked closer to him and ran my hand down his cheek. "Entice away." I murmured as I trailed a finger across his lips.

[theurbancowboy]

I resisted the urge to let my tounge peek out and taste her finger, instead I focused on my hands slowly trailing down her arms and settling on her waist

[magick_goddess]

The way he spoke, his mannerisms and everything, I could so see myself with him. Falling for him. That wasn't good for me. Not that I didn't want a relationship again, I did, but I didn't want to get hurt again. I don't think my heart could take it.

I nodded and smiled. I tried to play off the fact that he left me speechless with his words, but he did. "That's true." I sat back and took a sip of wine, I crossed my legs and felt a small jolt as my calf met his, I kept it where it was. It just felt...comfortable. "Well, I don't really like to talk about myself." I laughed nervously and ducked my head before looking up at him. "Grew up in the mid west, I have one older brother, my mother and I were very close." I bit my bottom lip and looked down. I hated missing her, it just made it feel like I lost her yesterday."

[theurbancowboy]

I nodded. I knew her mother was gone, it wasn't a subject she liked to talk about, and I could tell it had nothing to do with her mother's influence on her, but she missed her.

"You don't have to talk about it. Sometimes it's better just to remember the good times without reliving the bad. The bad tend to leave some scars, not worth remembering. Take my dad. I have one good memory besides him walking out the door away from me and my mom."

I sighed and took a sip of wine.

"I will ask you one question which you are welcome to refuse to answer."

She gave me a slight nod.

"Why did you runaway from Sunnydale. Besides the obvious reasons like the death rate, demons and all that. What made you leave? Not to delve to far, but you left the redhead. She had a tree name, Spruce?" My lame attempt to lighten up the question probably made it worse, but I had to know. Possibly what I was up against if that made any sense at all.

[magick_goddess]

I looked at him and I could tell a flash of envy crossed my face. "I wish my father had done that..." I took a big sip of my wine and put the glass down. "Your father and mine seem to be neck and neck..." His father was the better man, he left. Mine decided to stay and torment my mother and I till the day she died.

I absently rubbed the scar on my thigh through my jeans. It was a constant reminder of how much he loathed me.

I took a deep breath and looked at him, I nodded when he asked if he could ask me a question. I knew what the question was before he even asked. It was going to be another brick.

"Why did you runaway from Sunnydale. Besides the obvious reasons like the death rate, demons and all that. What made you leave? Not to delve to far, but you left the redhead. She had a tree name, Spruce?"I cracked a smile, more for his benefit, at his attempt to make the mood lighter. "Willow." I said softly. I sighed and closed my eyes for a moment. "Well, it wasn't for the Hellmouth, I was used to that. I left because of Willow..." I

[theurbancowboy]

I'd known the question was going to be met with sadness, and though I wanted nothing more than to take her pain away, it was something she'd have to deal with

[magick_goddess]

I watched as he headed into the kitchen to get the bag, I headed over to the couch and sat down, tucking my legs under myself and leaning my arm against the side.

He what? He got me something? Me?

I looked at him curiously as he walked back in the room, he handed me a book and I just stared at it. It was beautiful. I could tell it was hand done just by looking at it. "Oh, Lindsey..."

I bit my lip and looked up at him, determined not to cry. It was just so sweet and thoughtful. "Thank you so much..." I reached up and pulled him down onto the couch. I hugged him and kissed his cheek.

I sat back and looked at the book. The last time a person had given me something this thoughtful was my mother. And it's been years.

I took a deep breath and look at him. I give him a small smile. "Book of shadows? So what am I one of the girls from Charmed?" I tucked my hair behind my ear and giggled.

[theurbancowboy]

Her reaction pleased me.

I grinned as I sat next to her, she studied the book carefully, tracing the patterns carved into it's spine.

"Book of shadows? So what am I one of the girls from Charmed?"

I laughed. "That show is actually quite entertaining, though being in the know so to speak concerning demons, witches and the like kind of puts a damper on the suspension of disbelief factor."

I pulled her too me and rested my arm around her shoulder. "But witches do have a book of shadows. At least a few I've known have, I didn't know what you could use it for or would, but it was more like it called out to me. When I saw it I couldn't take my eyes off of it, much like you in fact."

I kissed the top of her forhead.

[magick_goddess]

I smiled and turned to lean against him, my back on his chest. "This is true, knowing what really goes bump in the night puts a damper on many movies."

I blushed when he complimented me and kissed me. "You're sweet." Inspite of how he plays it off. "Well...I do have a book, it was my mothers." I spoke softly, my fingers trailing over the book. "I managed to get it from my father before he destroyed her things when she died." This book wasn't going to be about spells. I knew exactly what I was going to write in this book.

I shifted a bit on the couch and rested my head against his shoulder. "Lindsey, tell me about you, you know growing up?" I chewed my lip nervously hoping I didn't overstep any boundaries or anything.

[theurbancowboy]

I frowned slightly when she mentioned her father. I'd gotten the distinct impression he wasn't a good man. And I hoped I never had the displeasure of meeting him.

"Lindsey, tell me about you, you know growing up?"I sighed heavily. I knew this was coming at some point, I just wasn't quite ready for it yet

[magick_goddess]

I smiled. "I won't. I know you're a stubborn man. I can see that a mile a way, but I'm prepared for it." I think.

Biting my lip I closed my eyes and felt him press me closer to him, I bit back a soft moan as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"We're getting into something dangerous here."

Giggling I lowered my head into his neck. Taking a deep breath I pulled back and looked at him. "Lindsey...You work for the largest and most evil law firm in this and every other dimension, I'm a witch from Sunnydale. We eat danger." I laughed and ran my hand down his cheek. "I'm a little hungry still..." I leaned in and kissed him deeply, feeling his hands run up my sides, touching my bare skin.

[theurbancowboy]

"Lindsey...You work for the largest and most evil law firm in this and every other dimension, I'm a witch from Sunnydale. We eat danger."

I couldn't help but smile as her laughter rang out, her hand on my cheek. I turned my face to kiss her hand lightly.

"Tonight Danger tastes especially good."

"I'm a little hungry still..."

She leaned up and kissed me, my hands instinctively went to her hips and ran up her sides. I loved the feel of her skin on my fingertips. Finally one hand came to rest in her hair.

I kissed her for what felt like hours, only managing to get myself worked up even further. Finally I pulled back.

"Baby, if we don't stop I'm going to have a major problem actually leaving."

[magick_goddess]

I pressed my body against his and kissed him. I nipped his bottom lip before feeling his tongue against mine. He pulled back and I rested my head against his, my breathing heavy.

"Baby, if we don't stop I'm going to have a major problem actually leaving."

Licking my lips I nodded reluctantly. "Yeah...If we keep it up I'm going to have a problem with you leaving." I murmured before I realized I did and I blushed slightly.

I pulled back from him and sat back on the couch, trying to compose myself. "Umm...do you umm." I tucked my hair behind my ear. "W-want to watch a movie or maybe it's best we c-call it a ni-night..." I didn't want him to go, I liked spending time with him but I think if he stayed things might go further then we both planned - for now. "It's up to you..." I smiled slightly. "It's not like you've far to go..."

[theurbancowboy]

I pondered the possibilities in my head.

Being around her was killing my restraint, and as good as it sounded to sit and hold her while some inconsequential movie was on I didn't think I could not touch her, not kiss her during the grueling two hours a movie took place in.

I held my hand for her to stand up.

"I really want to stay, As I'm sure is .." I coughed slightly "quite obvious, but my restraint is rather nill at the momment, and more time will make it disappear completely. I should go."

I really didn't want to, but I knew I had to.
