Hanging Out with speedstergrl5

[quickreflexes5]

Ian spread out the blanket, bending down and turning the edges so it was stretched out across the grass. He had picked Mia up about an hour and a half ago and they'd spent a good sixty minutes jogging around the park. He was hot, thirsty and starving. He turned his head watching as she put the picnic basket down on the blanket and worry creased his

Mia grinned and nodded as she undid the zipper on her sweater and pulled it off tossing it aside. She plopped down on the blanket, hands behind her holding her body up as she glanced at him. "Very ready. So boyfriend, what did you make me for lunch?"

[quickreflexes5]

Ian smiled trying not to let his eyes linger on the red tank top she wore. He winked moving around her as he rummaged through the basket. "You know, I kinda like that you acknowledge me as your boyfriend. Feel free to do it often."

He pulled out two bottles of water, a bag of chips and a large brownie tossing them in front of Mia before grabbing both sandwiches and shifting so he was sitting up strait behind her. He reached around her with one hand offering her the sandwich.

"I went to the sub place you like near the youth center. Turkey and swiss with the works plus pickles, and honey mustard sauce."

[speedstergrl5]

She took the sandwich and glanced over her shoulder, heart warming. "You remembered my order...thank you," she said softly before leaning towards him and pressing a soft kiss against his lips.

When she pulled back, Mia moved so they were facing each other giving him a small smile. "Best boyfriend ever. What'd you get?"

[quickreflexes5]

"Roastbeef, chips are mine, got you a brownie though." He unwrapped the sandwich and took a large bite, chewing and swallowing before looking up and studying her face. "Is everything okay?"

[speedstergrl5]

Mia opened and closed her mouth. She didn't want to lie, but she wasn't ready to let Ian into that part of her life yet.

She swallowed hard, chest tightening. "No...it's about other stuff." She gazed up at him, "stuff I'm not ready to talk about just yet."

[quickreflexes5]

Ian's jaw clenched, but he nodded. He knew there was something about her past that she wasn't ready to talk about yet and he respected that.

"That's okay, I'm here whenever you're ready to tell me." He leaned in and placed a kiss against the side of her head before going back to eating his sandwich.

[speedstergrl5]

Mia's expression softened and she reached out a hand rubbing his arm lightly, "Thanks," she said before taking another bite of her sandwich.

Several minutes later she was tossing her garbage into the basket before glancing at Ian, eyebrow raised. "What now?"

[quickreflexes5]

Ian smirked at her before laying back on the blanket and stretching out. He motioned her over. "Now we relax and enjoy the weather cause it's freakin' gorgeous outside. Come on, get that cute ass over here."

[speedstergrl5]

Mia tilted her head up slightly so she could see his face and nodded as her fingers drew shapes on his stomach. "Sure, shoot."

[quickreflexes5]

"What made you want to stay the night at my place?" He cleared his throat running his hand up and down her back slowly in a comforting gesture.

"I mean you know you're always welcome, I just...you told me you weren't comfortable with it. Is it because it wouldn't be just us?" He asked softly.

[speedstergrl5]

Mia glanced down and continued to moved her fingers in various shapes on his stomach. She knew the question was going to come up sooner or later. She took a deep breath and swallowed heavily.

"Honestly? I tend to sleep better when you're around. I don't have as many nightmares when you're there...so I thought since I've been having a lot lately...maybe having an excuse to be at your place would help."

She knew it sounded strange especially considering what her nightmares where about, but she trusted Ian. He was her age and he never made her feel like he was trying to control her.

He listened and helped and comforted her without asking for anything in return and being there with him, it made her feel safe.

[quickreflexes5]

Ian's chest tightened as he pulled her closer. "Mia, you don't need an excuse to come over, ever. I'm here whenever you need me. Any time you want to stay with me you can."

He shifted, and let out a small sigh. "Do you think he'd let you?"

[speedstergrl5]

She smiled, eyes still closed as she flattened her palm against his chest. "Me too. You have no idea how nice it is to know you're here...you're always so patient with me and I don't think you know how much that means."

She sucked in a sharp breath. Ian was the first guy she'd ever been comfortable being this close to. He was her choice. Everything that happened between them was on her terms and it made it so much easier for her to trust him.

[quickreflexes5]

He leaned his head against hers and let his eyes fall shut, the heat from the sun beating down on him as he spoke. "I'm glad, because you mean a lot to me Mia. You know that right?"

[speedstergrl5]

She nodded against him. "I do know...and even though I'm a pain in the ass sometimes and I don't always know how to show it, you mean a lot to me too."

Mia tilted her head lifting it up slightly as one of her hands cupped his cheek. "You're one of the nicest guys I've ever met...and trust me that list isn't very long." She leaned in and pressed her lips against his.

[quickreflexes5]

Ian deepened the kiss, bringing her closer to his body as he groaned into her mouth. He broke away from her a minute or so later, pressed a kiss against her forehead and rested his head back on the ground.

He let out a content sigh, smile pulling at his lips. "When do I have to have you home?"
