Not "Der Waffle Haus", but not bad, either[closed]

The car ride over was relatively simple. Just a simple discussion of where to take their hunger and then a hop over to the nearby Pancake Pantry. Jaxon was even the gentleman to open the door for Fae and seated her first as Jaxon shrugged out of the heavy outter-coat and slid into the booth across from Fae. As they sat down with menus and brushed off the waitress with their drink orders, he couldn't help but recalling the one subject that they practically danced around in the car. "I still can't believe Allison's expression with that final kiss-off, can you? I thought she'd choke on everything she was feeling there for a second." His eyes focused on her lips as he mentioned it, smiling briefly. The kiss was perfunctory, but still. It was actually more memorable than the effect it had on Allison. It wasn't really necessary, but he wanted to pass on the message to Allison that he wasn't interested in her. But, he also wanted to make sure that Fae knew that he wasn't just using her as a means to escape a clingy bitch.

Fae thanked Jaxon as he opened the door for her and walked ahead of him. "Haha yea that was pretty funny, considering that she is a total bitch I'm surprised that she didn't chase us." All that she could really think about was that kiss, it was a fast kiss yet she could still feel his lips pressed to hers for the one moment. She had her eyes laid on his eyes, they were a really pretty color and were hard to take her eyes off of. Fae was pretty sure that Jaxon wasn't just using her but she still wasn't clear on the situation. It would suck if she felt something for him and he didn't back.

[Jaxon Hearth]

Jaxon just stared as the waitress asked for a second time for food before putting his order in a little shame-facedly. He gave up the menu as Fae did the same. Suddenly he considered something he hadn't minutes before. "Oh, shit. I didn't think... I mean, I hope your boyfriend doesn't get upset over that. I don't want to cause any shit..." He realised instantly by her expression that she was currently and he grinned again. "I'm sorry. I know. I tend to go off and do things without thinking, like that kiss. Wasn't something I planned on, but it was pretty good, er, I mean effective, right?" Not quite as bumbling as he seemed, but he wanted to keep her at ease. He snaked a hand across the table with a pretense of gathering up the wrapper from her straw and brushed the back of her fingers with his fingertips.

"I don't have a boyfriend, unless your thinking of Steve but he's just a friend... for now at least." She noticed how he had gotten a little nervous and was kind of babbling, this showed her that he was really into her and wasn't just having her out to dinner to make Allison jealous. "Yea it was effective, totally" She laughed as she said this. When his fingertips brushed over the tops of her fingers she breathed in a little and held it there. She looked up from her fingers and into his eyes as she saw him looking back at her.

[Jaxon Hearth]

Jaxon smiled, pushing a bit of his hair from his face at her reaction, though a little nervous about the mention of Steve. His fingers curled over hers and he held her hand for a moment as they just looked. "That's good to hear... because I was hoping you wouldn't mind something like this..." He leaned in close and his other hand went behind her head, drawing her in towards his lips, kissing her again. This time, the kiss was much more intimate and lingered quite a bit longer with just a hint of tongue before he let go and grinned like a naughty child stealing a cookie on Christmas Eve. "Well, that was much nicer without an audience, don't you think?"

[Faerydae Richmond]

Fae saw Jaxon smile and was happy that he didn't get all stressed out at Steve's name, she wasn't sure if he knew Steve or not but she decided to put him in the back of her mind for now because she wasn't even with him. When Jaxon went in for another kiss from her of course she went along with it. She laid her hand on his shoulder as she felt one of his hands meet the back of her head. It was so much easier to think when she was kissing him then she thought it would be, more clear than she thought it would be. She pulled away licking her lips and opening her eyes slowly. "Yea... a lot nicer..." She slyly grinned at him.

[Jaxon Hearth]

Jax took a sip of his coke, his hand still holding hers as his thumb brushed it slowly. "Those could get quite addictive, I think. Certainly enough to bring a guy back for plenty more." He winked, teasingly as he said this and took another sip. This girl made his mouth dry in a way that was pleasant. He could still taste her and didn't want to give that up quickly. "So, think there'll be a second meeting? Or did Bernard strike you as a bit too idealistic and disorganized?" Trying to steer things away from another kiss, knowing he didn't want to just start makin' out here in the Pancake Pantry when really, he did. Hormones! Sheesh! Shifting in his seat as he tried to blank out those teenage imaginings.

[Faerydae Richmond]

She saw him take a drink of coke and took the same path. It felt good holding hands with him, she relaxed with his thumb slowly brushing her fingers. "Addicting is probably an understatement" She laughed at herself from saying this, she normally didn't say things like that. She kind of liked the acting class but she was only going to back if he was there, she didn't know anyone that had been there and she certainly did not want to be alone with Ms. Perfect. "I liked it, but I'm not going back unless you do"

[Jaxon Hearth]

Thumbs brushed against each other as they sat, studying each other as they spoke. Her entire nature seemed to be about self-defense, especially of the emotional kind. But, here she was, holding hands and talking about kisses with a guy she barely knew. Attraction is quite the odd thing, isn't it? That thought made him smile and he gave her hand a brief squeeze just as the waitress brought their meal. With more than a lil reluctance, he let her hand go. "I'll go back, if just to see this through with Bernard. He's not a bad fellow, really. Just think he's got more entheusiasm than brains." Jax took a bite of his pancakes, but was suddenly not very hungry. He had something (more accurately, someone) on his mind.

[Faerydae Richmond]

She was starting to realize what love could really do to a person, she had just met Jaxon it felt like and yet she somehow had a connection with him already. When he let go of her hand the heat was taken with him and her hand felt somewhat cold again. She watched as the waitress set down there plates. "Haha, well enthusiasm might not be a bad thing to have if your in the acting business." Fae slowly picked up her fork and took a small bite of her pancakes, it was hard for her to concentrate on eating food when she was with him.

[Jaxon Hearth]

Jaxon barely tasted the food as he ate. Forkfull after forkfull of fluffy, buttery pancakes drenched with delicious maple syrup just didn't make any impression as he looked at the girl in front of him. He smiled at her casual remark and shook his head slightly. "I tend to believe that a little entheusiasm is never a bad thing to have, no matter what you pursue in life. Career, schooling. Even love." His eyes made contact with her at that point, putting aside his fork as he raised his hand, signalling the waitress.

[Faerydae Richmond]

She kept eating her pancakes slowly looking up at him every few minutes or so as he talked. "Yea...maybe thats true." She caught his eyes as he said the last few words to her sentence and for the brief moment that they were looking into each other's eyes she couldn't feel anything around her. It was as if it were just her and him, no one else around them even existed. She set her fork down, waiting to see what he was going to do and slowly dragged her eyes from his looking at a sign that was placed somewhere behind him at the moment.

[Jaxon Hearth]

Jaxon paid a few bills out from his pocket to the waitress, leaving a generous tip and then held his hand out to Fae, guiding her out of the seats and grabbing their coats, walked her outside into a light snowfall that'd started. His hand in hers, he walked her over to his car and looked at her in the dusky lights of street lamps, brushing fingers through her tangles. "You're simply incredible." His eyes searched her face for another few seconds before leaning in, pressing her lightly against the side of his truck and kissing her firmly, holding her against him in the impassioned embrace.

[Faerydae Richmond]

Fae watched Jaxon pay the waitress and took his hand as he offered it to her. She followed him her hand still in his and looked at him intensely. "Thank...you" she whispered as she leaned back on his truck and grabbed the back of his head with her hands her eyes slowly closing while kissing him while her body was pushed up against hers. She opened her eyes and looked at him again when she had let go her face still close to his she was breathing deeply and slowly. The warmth of his breath on her skin felt good to her.

[Jaxon Hearth]

Jaxon broke away slowly, his breathing heavy as he looked down at her, small next to him. His forehead coming to rest against her, he looked at her with longing clearly in his eyes. "I'm so not thinking straight right now. It's difficult to think straight around you. Should... should I drive you home? Or do you want to ... stay together.. tonight that is?" Licking his lips slowly, he waited for her answer.
