Weekend of fun [locked for anya_c_jenkins Also dated for this Friday]

[coryraines]

Cory waited in the airport, sign in hand like those drivers that wait to pick up people. The sign just side No Rabbits In Car, Promise He hadn't been there long because he had spent a lot of time getting his place ready and cleaned. Nice candles about. Fresh flowers from Callie's flower shop, all kinds from roses to tulips, simple little daisies as

Flying from Boston to New York was kind of pointless. Except for the time saving. Because, really? You went up. You came down. You were there. They didn't even give you peanuts.

But she's there. And she has her bag and someone is watching the shop.

She laughs when she sees Cory and the sign, hurrying in his direction.

"Not a single rabbit?"

[coryraines]

"Not a single one. They are all married," He teased in hugging her and kissing her cheeks. He took her bag for her. "No bunnies, rabbits or hares." He lead her out, heading for the car, thankful Caspian let him borrow one of his.

He opened the door for her before putting her bag in the back seat. He climbed in, starting the car to warm it up. He looked over, "Those are for you." He smirked.

However at the car, he had more flowers, a box of cookies and a stuffed polar bear. He even had a bag of cheesey crap, souvenirs from all the places he visited in Italy and in Russia with a post card of Stalin as well. Dressed in a nice suit, he now stood waiting and wondered... maybe she wasn't coming.

Anya looked around the car and laughed at the collection of presents, cuddling the polar bear immediately.

"You really shouldn't have, you know," she said with a smile, kissing his cheek. She sifted through the bag of souvenirs. "But I'm glad you did."

[coryraines]

A closed mouth smile and a blush as he looked down was her gift as well before Cory turned his head to Anya. "I wanted to. Just... wanted to make things up to you." He leaned over kissing her just below her ear.

He started driving, heading back to the Dojo he was staying in. "Hope the flight was good. Oh," he dug into one of his jacket pockets and pulled out a small bag of peanuts, "I'm sure they didn't give you this on the ride." He smirked. "Oh and we got a choice, ballet or Phantom of the Opera."

[anya_c_jenkins]

She grins, tearing into the peanuts. "They didn't it was so disappointing."

She smiles at him, at the blush, and then says after a moment, "Phantom of the Opera."

ooc: I'm a dope. Um. The first paragraph was obviously yours--when I hit "Reply" it went away so I didn't remember what was in the car and so C&P it in so I could rep and meant to delete and um. Didn't. *g* Oops? Bad, bad, bad couple of days.

[coryraines]

Arriving at the Dojo, he parked the car then helped her get out. Her bag was carried to the back entrance. "Friend of mine is letting me stay here." He opened the door, allowing Anya to go first so she can be greeted with the other flowers and presents as well.

[anya_c_jenkins]

She stopped when she saw them all. "Oh my ..." She looked around in amazement at all the flowers, eyes wide.

"Cory...I don't know what to say..."

[coryraines]

"Thank you?" Cory teased then leaned over to kiss her cheek. Hand at the small of her back, he pushed her gently toward the couch, "More there though."

He headed off into the spare bedroom to put her bag down. "I hope you like them," he called out.

[anya_c_jenkins]

"Thank you," she said softly, overwhelmed. She picked up the robe, holding it to her cheek. The slippers--no bunnies, which makes her smile. The necklace made her catch her breath.

"I do," she called back with a delighted laugh. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

[coryraines]

Cory padded out, heading to the kitchen and pulling out the bottle of wine he had chilling. He came back with two glasses in one hand, setting them upon the table. He was smiling at her reaction as he uncorked the bottle and poured two glasses.

Handing her one, he took the necklace as he sat beside her, placing it around her neck. "See no bunny slippers." He whispered against her ear.

[anya_c_jenkins]

She took the wine, shivering at the whisper, but nodded.

"I noted and appreciated." Her fingers brushed over the diamond. "Thank you."

[coryraines]

Cory stayed there for a moment, eyes closed, drinking in her scent, hearing her breath and the feel of her hair against his cheek.

He pulled back reaching for his glass. "You've been like one to me. That little bright spot in my life." He smiled softly.

[anya_c_jenkins]

She smiled at him, sipping her wine.

"I don't think anyone's ever called me a bright spot before..."

[coryraines]

"Well you are. People should tell you that more often." He took a drink of his wine. He leaned back, relaxing. "So tell me what you have been up to?" His green eyes stared at her with a soft gaze.

[anya_c_jenkins]

She shrugged a little. "I wish I had something interesting to report, but since school started, that seems to be all I do. School and run the store. I get to go out occasionally with friends, but somehow just not that much."

Her smile was wry. "I must seem terribly boring."

[coryraines]

Cory reached over, backs of his fingers brushing the hair back from her face behind her ear. He shook his head, "Nah, you aren't." He shifted to face her more.

He fingered along the necklace, down to the diamond. He looked to her. "Well this weekend, we are going to have fun."
