touch

If anyone else told Diana that they missed the person they were dating when they were apart for such a short drive, she would have called overdramatic, but she felt herself yearning to be back with Drew as soon as her seatbelt was on. The whole drive was spent just replaying the kisses in her head, and as if on auto-pilot, she arrived at the apartment without even realising she was there. She chuckled at the lame joke, rolling her eyes as she took hold of Drew’s hand. She let out another small laugh at the command. “If you insist.” She watched as Drew retreated out the room, as she settled into the couch. Looking around, she spotted the remote, and switched on the TV, onto some sitcom rerun, something she could pretend she was watching while she waited. It was easy for her to get comfortable, as she was told, as she felt at ease surrounded by Drew’s things. Her gaze was constantly scanning around, taking in the little things that just made it so her. Kicking off her shoes, she curled her legs underneath her, her eyes falling back onto the TV, not really paying attention as she listened to the various sounds coming from Drew’s direction, a smile on her face.

As Drew hopped into the shower, she couldn’t help her body just falling to the side against the wall for a moment. She just thought about how he day spontaneously turned around and all because Diana decided to show up at her practice. Proving more and more to Drew that this was something she definitely wanted and almost lived her day to day life now just thinking about Diana, waiting to talk to her and see her. She had plans to just get back to her house and do some homework that wasn’t even due for another week, text Diana and chill out. But now she’s got the company of the girl and suddenly her day a million times better. Drew washed up as quick as she could, but spent time on her hair, trying to get the chlorine smell out, as if it hadn’t been stuck in there since her first swim team back at age 10. Exiting, she dressed and dried her hair as much as she could with the towel, deciding to let the rest air dry. Hanging the now damp towel up, Drew ran out of her room and spotted Diana. She jumped right into her lap and wrapped her arms around the girl’s neck. “Hi.” She smiled, just seeing how comfortable Diana was. “Better idea,” she started, shifting around to get more comfortable. “Instead of ordering pizza, let’s make food together. I think I have everything needed to make Mexican, and I don’t know about you, but tacos sound really good right about now. What do you say?”

Diana smiled softly, glad that Drew hadn’t thought that the name was too much. The smile widened at the confirmation of their new evening plans. “You, showering and pizza? Now that already sounds like my perfect night.” She teased, although it was basically the truth at the moment. “How about we aim for like five pizzas first and order more if we need them?” She joked as her fingers intertwined with Drew’s. “Of course.” She agreed, beginning the walk. She did half wish that she hadn’t driven so that she didn’t have to separate from Drew, but the walk would have been too long, and it seemed over the top to get a cab. So, shed just have to not be clingy and survive the few minutes they would be apart. Reaching her car, she pulled Drew to her once more, her free hand cradling her head, kissing her again. “I’ll see you in a minute.” She murmured, still holding on to her.

Smiling to herself, Drew nudged Diana as they walked. It was nice to be able to just have this one person be so happy to do anything with her, even if anything meant absolutely nothing. Stopping at Diana’s car, she was about to say her goodbyes before Diana pulled her in. Her eyes fluttered closed just by being close to her, but stayed shut the second their lips touched in another kiss. Pulling back slowly, she took in a deep breath and nodded, her eyes opening to meet Diana’s. “Yeah, okay.” She whispered, wrapping her arms around Diana’s waist, not yet ready to part, despite the fact that they would be together again in less than twenty minutes. She leaned up and pressed another kiss to herself before prying herself away with a smirk. “I’ll see you soon.” Turning around, she made her way to her own car. Getting in the seat, she took a second to just think about the last few minutes she had, causing this completely normal day go to what seemed almost perfect. She began to drive off, not wanting Diana to be waiting there too long, if she had already left, that is.

Arriving to her building, Drew parked and grabbed her bag from the backseat. Turning around, she saw Diana walking towards her, causing another smile. “Haven’t seen you in forever.” She spoke, reaching for her hand before guiding the two of them inside and up to her apartment. Reaching the door, she put the key in and walked inside, locking up once they were both in. “Okay, I’m gonna just take a really quick shower and then I’m all yours, okay?” She reached up and pressed a kiss to her cheek and then placed a proper one on her lips. “Make yourself at home. Really. I know that’s such a stupid annoying thing that anyone would say, but really. Get comfortable.” She walked away into her room, dropping her bag on the floor before grabbing clothes and jumping into the shower.

Diana wanted to argue, wanted to tell her that there was no way that she would even notice anyone else, but Drew had already turned away, so she had to settle for rolling her eyes with a sigh. She waited patiently for her to come back out, scrolling through her phone again, trying to not look too out of place. She heard Drew’s voice begin to drift closer, automatically lifting her head, pocketing her phone, as she did. She smiled as she approached, silently wrapping her free arm around Drew’s waist, pulling her closer. She pressed a small kiss to her shoulder as the two spoke, not wanting to interrupt. She was more than happy with slipping her hand as subtle as possible underneath her hoodie, her fingers stroking the skin, enjoying the physical contact. Diana said her goodbyes to the other girl, before grinning at Drew, now facing her. “Hello to you too, babe.” Her hand had dropped out from underneath the clothing, and instead rested on her hip. “So, do you have any plans for the rest of the day?” She hadn’t really planned any further than just showing up, so she was happy to do whatever Drew had been planning, or to whisk her away if she wanted.

Drew dropped her bag to their feet and raised both arms to wrap around Diana’s neck. “Babe,” she repeated quietly, her cheeks heating up at the term. “I like that.” Though she definitely knew she was the only girl Diana really had right now, the pet name just gave her a feeling of solidarity. The first time it being used made her feel like this was becoming what they both wanted. She shook her head and smiled softly. “Only to be with you.” She reached down and picked up her bag, turning to kiss Diana on the cheek. “Before we decide to do anything, can we head back to my apartment so I can take a shower and get this pool smell off of me. And maybe not be in these clothes.” She laughed, reaching into the back to dig out her car keys. “And I’m also starving. After every practice I swear I could eat ten pizzas. So, we’ll figure something out after I shower, yeah?” She asked reaching for Diana’s hand. “Let me walk you to your car?”

Standing, Diana made her way over to Drew, grinning. “You look adorable.” She forced her eyes to stay focused on Drew’s face, not letting her gaze fall downwards. “I missed you too.” She softened, stepping closer again. Despite knowing that the other girl was very clearly soaked, she brought her hand up to Drew’s neck, pulling her face closer, before kissing her softly. She had half forgotten that they were in such a public place, having forgotten about anything but Drew as soon as she got out of the pool. As soon as she realised exactly where they were, and suddenly very aware of the small audience they had, she pulled back, her cheeks tinged pink. Well, at least she sometimes got a little embarrassed. “Hi.” She murmured, before dropping her hand back to her own side. “Go get dry before you catch hypothermia, I can wait.” She assured, her eyes finally drifting south. She probably looked the same way a starving man would look at a loaf of bread, but she didn’t care, it was no secret that she was attracted to her, there was no point in being subtle when she had already kissed her in the middle of the pool.

Drew didn’t really know why she thought being completely drenched would put Diana off and they wouldn’t share a kiss before drying off. It was them, they basically feasted on each others kisses. Of course it would have happened. However, she was a bit surprised at how long it lasted due to her current state. Pulling back, she tried to bite back her smile as Diana greeted her teammates that were very clearly watching them both with smirks on their faces. She rolled her eyes at them and kept her attention on the girl in front of her. “Okay, I’ll try to be quick.” She nodded before watching her attention slowly shift lower, causing her to roll her eyes and snap up near Diana’s face. Shaking her head with a small giggle, Drew couldn’t help but feel a little flattered. “You’re never allowed to come here again...” She trailed off, beginning to walk backwards, still looking at Diana. “Not when other girls are gonna be here wearing this same exact thing.” Turning around quickly, she avoided seeing the expression Diana was going to have on her face after she had said that. She didn’t really have a right to say it, considering they weren’t exactly official, but she couldn’t help it. They were on their way to it, at least. Well, she definitely hoped so. She walked into the locker room with her other female teammates and began to change.

Drying off and dressing herself in some leggings and a hoodie as fast as she can, Drew walked out of the other side of the locker room with one teammate, having a conversation with her. Spotting Diana, she continued to talk while making her way over. Arriving, she took hold of Diana’s hand and pressed her back against the girl’s front, furthering her conversation. Drew didn’t exactly feel the need to stop it when she got near Diana. She was comfortable having contact with her all while speaking to someone else. However, she did end it soon enough, not wanting to completely ignore Diana’s presence. Once the teammate began walking again, Drew turned around and looked at Diana with a smile. “Hi.”

After their first date, Diana had not been able to get Drew out of her mind. From the moment she woke up (and sent off a good morning text even on the days when her day started at 2pm) to the moment she went to sleep (again, saying goodnight even if she wasn’t home until late) she was thinking about her. She was always fairly optimistic, but right now she was practically an embodiment of sunshine, unable to take the smile off her face. There had now been a few more dates, and to say she was smitten was an understatement. When people spoke about falling hard and fast for their partner, she had always thought it an over exaggeration, she had never expected it to actually come true, especially not for her.

She had been sat at home, bored witless, when she decided she was going to surprise Drew after her training. She arrived a bit early, slipping inside as quietly as possible. Sitting down, she smiled as she spotted Drew. She couldn’t help but stare as she watched the way her body cut through the water. God she was gay. She waited patiently, knowing she could be there a while, she wasn’t sure when they would be done, plus the other girl had to actually put on clothes, but it was so worth it to be able to surprise her with a visit.

Arriving at practice, Drew knew just how hard it was going to be. They were up against one of the best teams in a few weeks and everything was getting tougher. They had to shave off as much as they can for their times, which was already one of the hardest tasks. Having a brutal practice was just going to make it all worse. But she held her head up, knowing that after it was all over, she could call Diana up and potentially have a relaxing day with her. It had felt longer than it actually was. She barely had any break to catch her breath before she was sent down again for another lap. She couldn’t take a drink before her coaches were putting her up on the block to race against her teammates, trying to get them to lower their times. However, it was finally about a half an hour until practice ended when she saw, out of the corner of her eye, the one girl that never left her mind. All of a sudden, Drew could feel her stomach tying in knots. She never had Diana watch her before, and hoped that she didn’t look too much like an idiot with her goggles and swim cap on. The best thing for her to do was just ignore the fact that she was there for now, and work on the task at hand. There wasn’t much longer, she could do it.

With practice finally ending, the coach called the team to the other end of the pool, kneeling down to speak to them about how they did and what to expect in the upcoming practices, leading to the swim meet. As everyone was dismissed and began to leave the pool, Drew hung back on the side and took her goggles off, looking over to where Diana was sitting, giving her a tiny smile. She placed both of her hands onto the side of the pool and lifted herself out, walking over to the girl, completely dripping wet. She was getting quite the chill from being out of the pool, but knew it was worth saying hi to Diana before going to get her towel. “I look like the biggest idiot, no one said you were allowed to see me like this yet.” She laughed, reaching up to take her swim cap off, ignoring the looks of her friends as they saw the two of them together. “It was a nice surprise though. I missed you.”

“Start a show together? That’s a huge commitment.” She teased, although actually really enjoying the idea of using it as an excuse to see Drew more often. Not that she needed one, she didn’t plan on going more than a few days without seeing her at the moment. There was something about her company that made Diana feel both so relaxed and excited at the same time. Scrolling through some options, she settled on some mildly interesting looking show, but one she wouldn’t feel too bad about missing bits of if she got distracted or fell asleep watching. As the show began, her attention was mostly on Drew anyway, watching her, taking in every bit of her. “If this is terrible, I’m sorry, but now that we’ve started we have to see it right the way through to the end of the series, that’s the Netflix rues, I don’t make them, I just enforce them.” She joked, finally managing to tear her eyes off the girl next to her and onto the screen.

Drew rolled her eyes and chuckled looking to the TV. “Maybe it’s a good thing.” She shrugged, not worrying about the double meaning. There really wasn’t much of a reason to hold back things now. It was very clear that they both liked each other enough to even think about the tiniest bit of commitment to each other other. It was definitely way too early, but it wasn’t much to worry about. There wasn’t exactly a reason they couldn’t speak about such things. As of now, it definitely looked like they would eventually try something between the two. Agreeing on the show, Drew smiled, her arm wrapping around Diana’s torso as they comfortable cuddled together as if they were the perfect two puzzle pieces. She looked up and pressed a kiss to the corner of her lips. “As long as we can stay like this, I don’t care what we’re watching.” She cuddled back down and held on tight, keeping her eyes on the screen in front of them.

“I suppose I can lend you a few things.” Diana sighed with a smile. Turning her head, she pressed a small kiss to Drew’s hand, before raising her own and taking a hold of it with hers. Pulling her to her bedroom, she rummaged in her drawers, pulling out a pair of sweatpants and an old, faded shirt that she had probably had for far too long. Grabbing the same for herself, she passed a set to Drew. “You’re welcome to get changed in the bathroom, if you’d prefer.” She bit her lip, before turning to change herself. She clearly had no qualms about getting changed in front of other people, but she didn’t want Drew to feel uncomfortable at all. “I’m going to grab some snacks.” She exited her room, grabbing a bag of chips and some bottles of water, taking them back to her room. Sitting atop the bed, she turned on the tv, opening up Netflix. “So, what do you wanna watch?” She asked holding out her arm so that Drew could cuddle up next to her, as if they were way past their first date.

Drew smiled at the hand kiss as if it was the first one she’d received. Diana was treating her so well, she was kind of waiting for something bad to happen and ruined what the perfect night they were having. Or to at least wake up from this perfect dream. Walking along with the girl, they entered her room and Drew took a look around. Part of her was glad that she’d been there before. It was comforting to be able to around slightly know her surroundings. Shrugging her shoulders, she took the clothes and started to get dressed right there alongside of the other girl. She was exactly the most confident person in the world, so that didn’t really play towards her decision. But one, she’d already spent a night with Diana. They’ve seen the most intimate parts of each other. Although, two, she was on a swim team. Getting dressed in a locker room full of other girls became something she got used to rather quickly. It wasn’t like she could just toss some shorts down and throw something else back on. Her whole body was out and she didn’t care. Stepping into the sweats and slipping the t-shirt over her head, Drew nodded as Diana left. It allowed her to look around again, taking the girl in through her likes and interests. Somehow learning more about her. But just as quick as she left, she had arrived back and got herself comfortable on the bed. Drew crawled over and let herself relax in her hold, cuddling up with her date. “That’s a hard question when it comes to Netflix and you know that. There’s too much to choose from.” She laughed, her eyes trained on the screen. “We should start a show together. That way we have another excuse to be together. We can only watch in the company of the other.”

Snorting, Diana threw her keys onto the coffee table before wrapping her arms around Drew. “I know, it’s so brand new, I would most definitely have never brought you back here before a date.” She slowly kissed a trail, making her way from Drew’s jawline, up to her mouth. Letting herself just get lost within her, she held her impossibly close, her eyes closing as she deepened the kiss. She would have done it all night, if her body hadn’t betrayed her, needing to get more oxygen. Leaning back, she smiled. “Would you like anything to drink? Eat? Get changed?” She listed off, not even caring what they spent their time doing, she just knew that she wanted to be as close as possible, for as long as possible. She found Drew so intoxicating, and she didn’t think she would ever get enough.

Drew laughed at Diana’s joke and allowed herself to be pulled in, feeling intense comfort being in her arms. Her eye fluttered shut as she began to feel Diana’s kissed, almost instinctively letting her head slightly tilt to the side as she gave the girl the little access she  needed before their lips were finally attached in the first kiss that night. Their bodies pressed together and Drew reached up to put a hand behind Diana’s neck as if their kiss could get any deeper than it already was. Her shoulders fell as they pulled back, wishing it could have definitely gone on longer. However, she knew it wasn’t going to be the only kiss of this night, and it set her mind at ease for the moment. “I could go for a little change of outfit. This is comfortable but a little fancy for loungin’ about, you know? Well, that is if you don’t mind me borrowing some clothes because I didn’t exactly bring any spare…” Part of Drew was insanely excited to be able to dress down for the sole reason of being able to watch both of them going from dressed proper to hair in a bun and some sweats. Moving her hand from behind Diana’s neck to her cheek, Drew couldn’t stop herself from just looking into her eyes with a smile on her face, wondering how she got so lucky to be so infatuated with someone after just being on a first date and that person seemingly feeling the same.

Diana couldn’t help the look of sheer fear that crossed her face at the thought of eight children at once. One of the perks of being gay meant no accidental pregnancies, and while she wasn’t sure if she wanted children in the future, the fact that she had to choose when to have them, had to plan it out, definitely helped. “You were perfect.” She reassured, looking over at her with a shy smile. “Ten out of ten, would date again.” She teased softly as she parked up. Before she got out, she turned to Drew, this time sincerer. “Tonight has been absolutely wonderful.” She promised, squeezing her hand, before moving to get out. She led the two of them into the apartment, bracing herself for noise but being relieved when none came, glad that her room-mate had made good on their agreement. She had to do all the laundry for a month, but it was worth it.

As they parked and Diana spoke, Drew laughed quietly and looked over. Jokingly said or not, she was glad that it was made seem that Diana would at least really enjoy going out with her again. About to get out, she noticed Diana’s slight change and looked to her. She looked to their hands as she squeezed and smiled softly, biting her lip. The reassurance was definitely needed. She got out of the car and followed her inside of her apartment, taking hold of her hand once again. “Wow, it’s like I’ve never been here before.” She joked, leaning into Diana’s side, not wanting to just walk in like it was her own place.

“Clearly your parents knew you were going to grow into the name so perfectly.” Diana grinned. “Can’t say the same for mine, God of fertility? What were they thinking?” She rolled her eyes. She couldn’t help but be left slightly speechless at Drew’s reply. Her heart felt like it was about to beat right out of her chest, and she was loving the feeling. It was so much more intense than she had ever felt before, and she wanted to make sure it stayed. Which clearly meant keeping Drew around. She smiled as their hands reconnected, briefly looking at them, before her attention was on the road. She wasn’t going to risk ruining the night with an accident, after all. It wasn’t the first time she had taken the other girl to her place, but this time would be so much different. There would be less rushing, for one. But this time they knew it was more than just physical, and it couldn’t have made Diana happier.

“Hey,” Drew giggled, looking to Diana. “You never know what your future will hold. You may end up with like eight children. At once? Who knows!” She joked. The car ride somehow felt a lot of relaxing than the previous ones. She’s always felt okay with the girl, even the first night they were together. But it was something about this one that allowed her to loosen up her shoulders and relax into the seat. The night had gone so smoothly. She actually had some kind of sense that Diana really did care a lot more about her feelings and who she was. It was enough for her to feel completely safe and calm in the music filled space. She had her gaze secured out of the window as she thought. However, Drew turned to look over at her date with a small smile. “I know tonight isn’t over yet, but... did you have fun? Like... was I okay?” She wasn’t really a date kind of girl. The night was a fairly new experience. Of course, there had been ones before, but none of them were with people she felt she needed to impress, people that she actually saw something with.

“A wise choice.” Diana agreed, with a wide smile. “I guess it is. I can’t wait.” She wasn’t going to attempt to act coy, play hard to get. They both knew they were all in. “Then you’re going to love me.” She joked, blushing at the words. She had certainly not meant it like that, but she felt so smitten that she also wasn’t completely scared of the thought. Which in itself, was a little scary. But she was having such a good night, that she easily brushed it away. Making their way back to her car, she kept tight hold of her hand. Opening the door, again, unable to stop herself from doing so, she gestured to Drew to sit down, kissing her hand as she let go. She was sure she was being ridiculously cheesy, but she just couldn’t stop. Making her way round to her side of the car, she slid in. She switched on the radio, allowing the quiet music to fill the car before turning the ignition. 

Drew laughed and shrugged once with a smile. “My name is Drew. Drew means wise. Guess you can say all of my choices are.” She winked, giving a proud smile. Hearing the mention of a potential love, Drew looked down and blushed slightly. Obviously it wasn’t meant in that way, but she couldn’t help but think of it. Especially considering that they were leaving a date. “Yeah,” she spoke, looking up again. “I’m sure I will.” She spoke, truthfully. Drew wasn’t trying to make things awkward or clearly say things too early, but she had hope. A lot of it at that. Diana treated her fantastic and it was quite obvious that they were both way too smitten with each other to walk away from anything right now. Arriving to the car, Drew smiled as the door opened and sat down, biting her lip at the kiss on her hand. She wans’t yet ready to let go, but she knew they were about to spend more time together. Letting go for a few definitely wasn’t going to hurt. As Diana sat back down and settled in, Drew reached over and laced their fingers together again. A few seconds, obviously.

“One point?” Diana mused. “I suppose you could probably get a kiss for that.” She nodded, matter of factly. “And one and a half? I’ll give you a deal and get you two kisses.” She briefly worried her bottom lip between her teeth, not wanting Drew to feel too uncomfortable. “Honestly, that sounds like a pretty awesome date to me.” She grinned, relaxing slightly. She made a mental note to not go overboard on spending on her date, if it ever got far enough for gift giving. “She is, she can easily turn into a sloth and you’ll find her in the same position for hours.” While she put in a lot of effort the majority of the time, when it came to relaxing, she relaxed hard. She often pushed herself to physical exhaustion, so she needed the time. She picked up Drew’s hand as she watched the pout appear, kissing it softly. Taking back her card, she smiled softly. “Ready when you are.” 

Drew’s eyes widened and she shook her head. “Oh, no. No, no, no. I’ll have the fuzzy key ring.” Smirking, she leaned against the table and looked into Diana’s eyes. “Well, on second thought, I think I’ll save up. I might actually save up to one and a half. It just sounds like a good deal, you know?” Or maybe she was just really into the idea of getting to kiss the girl again. They had kissed within the first ten minutes of meeting each other. It wasn’t one bit weird to her to want to kiss her again. “Good. Guess date number two is planned, huh?” She couldn’t tell if she was more happy about the thought of a second date or if she was just happy that Diana still wanted to spend more time with her. “Thank God I’m an animal person. I love sloths.” Standing up, Drew kept hold of Diana’s hand and smiled. “Let’s go then.” She shifted her hand a little bit to be able to lace their fingers together and looked down, her cheeks blushing at the sight of it. 

“Half a point will get you a fluffy keyring.” Diana pretended to think before she spoke, as if running through a list in her head. Smiling at the waiter, she reached out for the bill, rolling her eyes as Drew beat her to it. She shook her head, before gently taking the piece of paper from her grip. “I can earn like double this in a single night, I’m paying.” She didn’t want to sound like she was showing off, or that she was being arrogant, but it was the truth. She knew it was expensive, but in comparison to her bank account, it was affordable. “You can pay for the next date, deal?” She smiled, trying to reassure her. She didn’t expect this type of calibre for every date, she just wanted to pull out all the stops for their first one. “I just wanted to wow you, before you realise that I spend a good proportion of my life in sweatpants.” She joked, pulling her card out of her bag as she saw the waiter approaching again. Before she could argue more, she passed it to him, refusing to take any other outcome.

“Hm,” Drew hummed, pretending to think about it. “Okay, say I don’t want a fluffy key ring. If I saved up my half point and had a full one, or maybe even be a little risky and say one and a half, what would I get? Or like, between you and I, is the fluffy key ring worth it?” Holding the bill up and away from Diana’s reach, Drew narrowed her eyes. “Doesn’t matter if you can earn it back, you are spending so much on me.” She sighed in defeat as her date took it from her and slightly hung her head. “Fine, I guess. I guess another date in general makes up for it. Me treating you is a plus. Just wait, I make the best tacos and I know how to order the best pizza. Even got their contact saved.” Drew smirked, shrugging her eyebrows as if it was a big deal. “Well, can’t wait to meet that Diana. She seems like a comfy gal.” Watching the waiter take Diana’s card, Drew pouted slightly, still feeling bad that such a great amount was spent on her.

“So close, I’ll give you a half point for it.” Diana couldn’t help but gaze on at Drew, knowing she was probably displaying what could only be described as heart eyes. The girl opposite her was just too goddamn cute, and so goddamn hot at the same time, and she didn’t know how it was possible. “I’m sure those are two commands that can be followed extremely well.” She raised her eyebrow, knowing that Drew probably wasn’t even aware of the full joke she had made. “I have the finest potato chips in the land, you’re in for a treat.” She teased, as she gestured the waiter again, for the bill. “Honestly, they are worth telling all your friends about, they are just that good.”

Drew’s jaw dropped as she pretended to be happy over that. “Half a point? Dope. When can I cash it in? What can I get with half a point?” Looking to Diana, she looked down bashfully as she could see just how the other girl was looking at her. No one ever made her feel as special as Diana did. Especially not with just a single look. “Oh man, I do love a good potato chip. I’m holdin’ you to that.” As the waiter came with the bill, Drew snatched it up before Diana can to look at the prices of things. Her face fell as she looked up to the girl. “You have to let me pay for this. I can’t believe you took me here on a first date knowing how expensive it is.” Looking down to it again, she gazed to her date. “Diana...” She whined.

“Red, actually, so close enough.” She teased back. She was definitely enjoying watching as the blush spread across Drew’s face. Diana had always loved getting reactions out of people, whether they were positive ones like this, or clearly pissing people off. It gave her a little thrill to know she could influence people. Not that she meant it as sinister as it sounded, she just liked attention, really. “Then it is a deal, you have yourself a new stalker.” She giggled softly. Taking another sip of her drink, she put her glass on the table, leaning her chin on her free hand. “So, would you like dessert, or dessert back in my place?” She asked, smirking slightly. Her roommate was under strict instructions not to embarrass her if they did go back, although there was every chance she was out herself by now. Not that she was assuming Drew would go back with her, but the thought had definitely crossed her mind. At least ten times.

“Ah, that was my second suggestion.” Drew pouted, making an arm gesture to correspond with her faux disappointment. She pushed things on the table out of the way to be able to rest her elbow on it, her chin falling into the palm of her hand as Diana continued to hold her other one. “Hell yeah, I can’t wait to name her and teach her commands like ‘stay’ and ‘come’.” Pretending to think about Diana’s suggesting she shrugged, slightly smirking. “I’m kind of full, I don’t think I can handle dessert.” Letting her head slightly fall to the side, she bit her lip. “But I guess I can handle a bit of dessert back at yours. I’m sure it’s much better than this fancy stuff people take their entire lives to learn how to make.”

Diana simply smiled as Drew spoke up. Clearly she had already lucked out, and it was only the first date. She ignored their food for a moment, to bring Drew’s hand up to her face, kissing it softly. “I like it when you don’t know when to stop talking.” She teased, her attention back on the food in front of them. She was definitely a huge food lover, and it pained her sometimes that she had to watch what she ate slightly to make sure she stayed in shape. But that was out the window tonight, of course.  Finishing off eating, she matched the other girl’s smirk. “That’s it, I’m going to be at your side twenty four seven, you’ll turn around and I’ll just be there.” She threatened. She sat back in her chair, although still not letting go of Drew’s hand. She wasn’t sure it was possible to at this point. Every time she felt a small bit of distance between them, she automatically tried to close it as quick as possible.

"Is your favorite color like pink or something? Because I swear you’re literally just saying these things to make me blush.

In fact, I think it would be pretty nice and would like you take you up on that offer, please.” She smiled, leaning closer to the table, allowing Diana to keep hold of her hand.
