Maria's Beautiful Mess
Maria was too tired to head back to Wayne Manor and decided to spend the night at her apartment. She had been doing it quite frequently lately. When she entered the apartment she even didn't bother with turning on the lights. She didn't need to see the mess that was her apartment. It would just remind her how much of a slob she was and it was the last thing she needed right now.

Once the door was locked she headed for the bedroom, stripping off her Huntress costume as she moved and letting it fall to the floor. She just wanted to fall into bed and sleep. Thankfully tomorrow was Sunday and she didn't have to get up to go into the office. It'd be nice to get more than a few hours of sleep.

She tripped over a few things as she walked and kicked them out of the way. Once in the bedroom she grabbed a tee shirt hanging on the corner of a full length mirror, slipped it on and fell into bed.

	He speeds up finishing off his spread of food a bit. Energy and good food or no, there's a definite draw to getting back. "I'd noticed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria smiled when he increased the speed at which he ate. She finished off her food and drained the remaining coffee. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He washes down the last of his food, calling for the check before he's even done, so it will be on its way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria threw cash on the table. It was enough to cover the bill and leave a generous tip. "Ready?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the Diner anti_venom 2014-01-31 01:13 am UTC (link)
	"All set." he agrees, pushing up from the table and heading for the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria stood up and them jumped up on his back. Wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. Piggy back rides had to be taken whenever possible. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's the briefest of moments of paranoid reflex, almost grabbing her arm and flipping her forward. Then he recognizes what's up, and that there's no need for the paranoia of his usual training here. He grins instead, making his way back towards her place with her on his back.

	Maria laughed as he carried her back to her place. They got some looks from other pedestrians, but Maria didn't care. She never did. "Thank you for the piggyback ride," she said after slipping down his back to her feet. She did have to unlock the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the Diner anti_venom 2014-01-31 02:11 am UTC (link)
	"You spend enough time riding me, didn't seem that unusual." he replies with a smirk, letting her down to unlock the door. As soon as she starts trying, he works on nibbling at her neck and ear, trying to distract her a bit as she tries to get the key in the lock. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the Diner crossbow_bat 2014-01-31 02:19 am UTC (link)
	It took her a bit to unlock the door. There was a very nice distraction behind her. "Are you a cowboy? Cause think of all the horses I'd be saving." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smirks, tipping an imaginary hat. "Yes, ma'am." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria laughed and got the door unlocked. She stepped out of the way to let him enter first. "After you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A smirk. "Of course, we call them vaqueros, but that doesn't have the same ring." he adds, groping her on his way past into the front room." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria laughed. "So question for you, what are your feelings on karaoke?" She shut the door behind her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the Diner anti_venom 2014-02-01 01:32 am UTC (link)
	"Karaoke hasn't really hit where I'm from. I've run into it here and there, but not sure... why? Big fan?" he asks, already peeling his shirt off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the Diner crossbow_bat 2014-02-01 02:14 am UTC (link)
	She doesn't answer right away. Momentarily distracted by him removing his shirt. "Big fan," she said. Whether it was karaoke or him, it was a little hard to tell. "Love it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At the Diner anti_venom 2014-02-09 03:51 pm UTC (link)
	He seems pretty ok with her being a big fan of both. "I'll have to try it sometime." he replies, waiting til she's shut the door, before pulling her against him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That just means I'll have to drag you out for karaoke one night," she said a little breathless from the closeness. Why he had such an effect on her, she may never know, but she did enjoy it. It was quite exciting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
