(no subject)
Willow:I roll my eyes "What, the stalker hasn't actually taken to stalking me all the way home?" I ask with some bite. "Fine, my address is 4352 palm drive" I said "And as soon as you can get here, whenever."
Lindsey:I looked down at her file; she gave me the right address, I was shocked. "Ok, I'll be over in an hour." I hung up and then took a shower and grabbed my wallet, keys, and then went to a flower shop and bought some flowers.
Willow:I decided I better play nice so I took a shower and threw something nice on then cooked a small meal, nothing special. I wondered if I had made the right decision. I couldn't worry about that now though, I had already invited him over.
Lindsey:I pulled up to her driveway and then looked at the flowers in my hand, it was probably too much, but I told the lady at the flower shop. I had just met her and this is what she gave me. I walked up the sidewalk and knocked on her door.
Willow:I had just put the dinner in the oven and had been reading up on some demons when he showed up. I hid the books in my locked cabinet and then answered the door. "Hello."
Lindsey:I had my hand on the back of my neck when she answered the door. I stumbled with the flowers. "Hi." I said with a smile, "These are for you" I said, blushing slightly. What was it about this girl that made me feel like I was in elementary school again?! "But you probably already figured that out" I said with a smile, handing the flowers to her.
Willow:"Oh and here I thought they were for the other girl you were stalking and meeting tonight." I said with a smile as I took the flowers from him. "Thank you."
Lindsey:"well, she cancelled on me at the last minute" I said teasingly. I stood in the doorway and leaned over and kissed her cheek. I don't know what possessed me, but I just did. "Your welcome"
Willow:I backed away "Ok, so come in and...have a seat." I said as I slowly walked to the kitchen putting the flowers in a vase.
Lindsey:I looked around the place, it was very comfortable. Pictures and knick-knacks everywhere. It was incredibly..peaceful. I finally tok a seat and waited for her...I don't know what I was getting myself into.
Willow:I figured him to be a beer drinker so I pulled one out of the fridge and came back out with it. "Hope you like this kind." I said as I set it in front of him.
Lindsey:"It's perfect." I said as I took it from her and took a big drink from it. What the hell was I getting myself into? "Thanks" I said with a smile.
Willow:"So been stalking me long?" I asked with a smile as I sat across from him and is it wrong that I want to kiss him?
Lindsey:"Only for a couple of days" I said teasingly. "The coffee shop sealed the deal for me," I said with a smile. I held my beer in one hand and ran my other hand through my hair. Why was I so nervous?
Willow:"So you get off on pouring coffee on girls?" I joked.
Lindsey:"Only when they're as pretty as you." Wait...did I really just say that?! What an idiot! "Sorry, that was...uncalled for and cheesy." I said. FREAKING IDIOT!
Willow:I giggle "You are definatly interesting." I said softly "Ok really starting to like him..this is bad."
Lindsey:"Yeah...so what's for dinner?" I asked. I was eager to change the subject...I don't know what was wrong with me.
Willow:"Ahh it is true!" I declare "The way to a mans....attention is through his stomach." I would have said heart but I don't know that much yet.
Lindsey:"That it is" I said with a smile. "But, you avoided the question" I said with a smile. This woman was gorgeous...but I didn't want to jinx anything...this was a job.
Willow:"Ahh sorry, I am making roasted chicken and mashed potatoes."
Lindsey:"Wow...talk about a freaking chef. Here I was thinking it was like Mac 'n Cheese. You're a chef" I said with a smile. "Well, it smells delicious"
Willow:I shake my head "No, just actually like cooking."
Lindsey:I reached over and took her hand and pulled her hand towards me. "Thanks for
inviting me over." Way to go idiot...you're scaring her away. I let go of her hand...and put my hands on my leg.
Willow:Ok he was just acting weird now. "You ok?" I asked "Is there something you need to talk about?" I was now concerned about him.
Lindsey:"Yeah, sorry" I said. How could I tell her that I was starting to like her? But she was just a job. "That was random, I know. It just happened..." I said
Willow:"I think its more than that, but if you don't want to talk about it its cool."
Lindsey:Wait. So now she thinks she know's me? Fuck that. I looked at her skeptically. "All of a sudden you're an expert on me?"
Willow:"No, I just know psych 101 and the way your acting says you want to tell me something but you seem to feel a need to hold back." I said sitting up and looking at him pointedly
Lindsey:I looked at her. She was joking right? "No..this is just uncomfortable...I'm not sure what I was thinking when I came over. We don't have much in common." I started to say.
Willow:"Really now? Why don't you tell me about you and we will see." I said ready to show him up.
Lindsey:Ha, she was joking right? I wasn't telling her my life story...not after barely knowing her. "I was sadly mistaken...I thought I could have been someone else...but I can't change who I am." I said. Screw Wolfram and Hart, I can't do this. Not to her...I could care for her. I couldn't do this to her...even if it was my life I was paying for it.
Willow:I looked at him confused. "What’s wrong?" I asked he had this look on his face. "What do you mean you could have been someone else?"
Lindsey:"I'm not the guy who gets the girl at the end of the day." I said finally. "I've never been that guy...I've never been the lucky one." I said finally. I stood up and looked at her. "Thanks for inviting me over though."
Willow:I stood up and stopped him "Don't...please tell me what is going on."
