Marney found herself blushing for what seemed like the hundredth time that night. This had to stop, it was starting to make her worry about her reputation. At the very least, she knew that Hunter and Mack would rail on her for it later on. And Leland would probably give himself a heart attack trying to figure out what Apple had said to make her flush so much. The nice words, the kiss on the cheek, it was like they were in some horrible teen movie and Marney couldn't get enough of it for some inexplicable reason.

"Nah, I won't bore you now with the horror stories of my childhood," she said shaking her head and laughing. "You're really sweet for asking though Ap, maybe we can go get coffee sometime and I'll tell you some?" She was breaking her second date rule, the one where she didn't make plans for another meet up during the first. It just lead to commitment and possibly heartbreak. "I'd wouldn't mind venting to someone not Leland or Ruby for once. They're such tightwads!"

"No offence, babe, but I wouldn't mind seeing the two of them win tonight," she said. "They deserve something nice I think." She leaned in and pecked Apple on the nose, "Not that I don't think you'd make an extremely handsome king, but I don't really want to have to share you with anyone else tonight!"

Apple had been completely oblivious to anyone or anything going on around them. He was totally indulging in their own little world. "Tell ya what, if you let me cook you dinner after that coffee, you can talk my ear off all night and I won't even mind," he said easily. Tonight was going way better than he would have predicted. He leaned in a whispered, smirking. "I can't imagine the horror of having a heart to heart with your brother," he teased.

"Hey none taken!" he couldn't deny the butterflies in his stomach when she kissed his nose all sweet like. "I wouldn't dream of makin' you share nothin'," he spun her out, then spun her back in, laughing brightly.

"Y-you're gonna cook me dinner?" Marney asked dumbfounded. She was a bit taken aback to be honest, a few guys had cooked her dinner before, but this was somehow different. She immediately gave Apple a shy smile. "I'd...I'd really like that." She couldn't help but let out a giggle at the thought of Le having a heart to heart with Apple. "I think his brain is made of just as much useless muscle as his arms." she informed him in a whisper.

She spun back into Apple's arm and couldn't help but grin at his laughter. "Good," she told him. "I hate sharing my things."

"Hell yeah," he said brightly. "My ma taught me how to cook mean Korean food and my dad taught me how to cook anything on a camp fire. So if you ever wanna go campin, I got ya covered," he grinned.

He snorted at her comment about Leland. Le might have been shorter but Apple would never knowingly fuck with the kid. Le was bigger and looked like he had some anger issues with that scowl of his. Apple just smirked and nodded. "I'm sure it is. A heart to heart would probably look something like getting the shit kicked out of me."

Apple only felt himself growing red at her comment. For once in his life, he couldn't think of what to say. "Well I'm yours to do what you will with," he finally said.
