( baby may be debating the pros and cons of interrupting this evening with talks of exclusivity or lack thereof, but all kimberly can think of is how nice this is. how different baby is from anyone she's known, any boy she's ever kissed. he's patient and kind and polite, but he's proven her wrong too; for all that sweetness, he's anything but shy.
his fingertips tuck a lock of hair behind her ear as he asks her about dinner, and she has to shake off the hazy warmth that's settled in her bones in order to manage an answer. ) Yeah, I'm... ( hungry, yes, but in more ways than one. aware might be a better word for it. ) It smells great, Baby, really.
( a pause, as he extricates himself from their embrace in order to attend to what's in the oven; kimberly takes it as an opportunity to settle herself at the table, admiring the care that's been taken to accentuate the space. the candles, the flowers, even just the place settings so carefully arranged — it feels a little bit like something out of a movie. not something that happens. )
But you didn't have to go all out like this, you know.
( not that she doesn't appreciate it, because she does, but there's still a part of kimberly that doesn't really believe she's worth all of this fuss. her experience with dating hasn't exactly been the best, after all. )
