Saturday morning sees Bella with her notebooks about magic all in her knapsack, her medallion safety-pinned by its chain to her bra just in case she trips the wrong way, waiting with Charlie for pickup for the Avalon trip.
"Desert, ooor...?"
"Hmmm, I don't think I have room for dessert. We could go sit in the car for a little bit and I could kiss you."
He pays. Off to the car they go.
(She doesn't wait until they are in the car, since there's a brief respite from the rain at the moment.)
(Darren is not complaining about her not waiting until they're in the car!)
Bella thinks they might as well get in some experimenting/practice on "how the hell does one kiss" while they have this lovely Savannah-unoccupied dad-uninfested space to do it in.
Okay! That works, too! Darren is supportive of both experimentation and practice!
Kissing is fun. Bella thinks she sort of has the gist of it after a few times!
Kissing is very fun! Darren's gotten the gist of it, too. While they're in a dad-uninhabited and Savannah-free zone - kisses!
They could probably lose track of time like this. If they weren't careful.
Nope, it totally starts raining on them. Bella ducks into the driver's seat, giggling.
Darren flees to the passenger seat, laughing. "Of course it had to start raining."
She leans over the gearshift and curves her hand around the back of his head and kisses him again.
He is also supportive of in-car kisses, too. Kiss!
"Getting late. I should probably drive you home and call my dad," she sighs.
"There can be future dates," says Darren with a smile. "If you'd like to have them."
Darren grins broadly, then - leans over and kisses her, briefly. "I think so, too!"
Then she buckles her seatbelt and puts the key in the ignition.
Homeward they go. He'll be grinning a goofy grin all the way there.
"Dates and magic lessons, our lives are pretty awesome."
"They really are!" agrees Darren. "Just wait until we're epic level wizards! That'll be awesome!"
"It will! Do you suppose we'll look good in those stars-and-moons pointy hats?"
"Awesome. New default outfit for after I found Hogwarts-still-needs-a-better-name."
"As long as you have the fancy robe to match. You have to fit the style."
