New York is Too Cold
Giovanna's temper was still reeling from the recent footage on television. But on an American holiday, they weren't going to get much chance of talking to any of their official contacts about it, and they didn't have too many other options at the moment, so she tried to stay calm.

Early in the morning, she knocked on the door between her room and Andrew's. Already ready herself for what she had planned, she was wearing a bathing suit.

	He finds himself lost for words when he realizes she's staring at him, sort of like he's staring at her. It takes several awkward, long seconds before he finds any words. "You're welcome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Giovanna finally manages to look at her slightly sore foot. "It's a bit trickier than I thought, making you work on reactions," she admits. And then takes a deep breath. And flares up. And rematerializes considerably (and almost directly) above Andrew in the high-ceilinged room. And drops. "Catch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's had a little more time to acclimate now, and given that, his actual reaction times aren't horrible, his perspective is just weird. This time, he manages to take a half step back, and catches her neatly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nice job," Giovanna says when caught, and then throws her arms around his neck and kisses him before she can stop herself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Whoa, wow, that's... a thing. A very nice thing, come to think of it. Really nice. After a few moments of being shocked, he's kissing her back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And there will be more kissing for a minute or so, but they come up for air and Giovanna, eyes still flashing a little green, looks away. "So..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	assaultnbattery 2009-11-26 10:58 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah... uhm... so... now what?" He's still holding her up, not like she's terribly heavy in this form. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, if that was really stupid, then I'd like to ask that we ignore it. If it...wasn't stupid, then...we don't ignore it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Stupid? Uhm, in a... your dad would probably be ecstatic and my grandfather would think its pretty promising, while my mom would hit the roof and this makes things more complicated sort of way, maybe. In a 'I've wanted to kiss you for a couple years now and didn't have the guts and its better than I'd hoped' sort of way, I'm kind of having trouble ignoring it. If I'm not just babbling because I..."

Damn it.

He kissed her again.

Enthusiastic kissing part two, before she finally climbs out of his arms.

"I didn't want to Ruin Everything." Here come the audible capitals again. "I still don't, of course. What we're doing is so important, but..." She blushed. She had to acknowledge he was right on a lot of what was mentioned; though of course it had nothing to do with her interest, Andrew was probably one of the very few boys Father would consider good enough for her. And. "...How upset would Your Mom be?"

"Upset at you? Not at all. She's a little suspicious of your dad and all, but she's always liked you. I think she'd just prefer I stay single until age 40 or so, then maybe I can consider dating. And... you're not ruining anything. Not really. You're supposed to be keeping an eye on me, right? Go where I go, keep me out of trouble? I don't see where maybe actually trying dating interferes with that, do you?"

Giovanna listened and nodded. That was all understandable. Andrew's Mom was notoriously worriable, certainly. And Father could be hard to understand, so she was relieved that didn't extend to her.
And he's got a point. There aren't many ways it would interfere. Before he got sick of her, anyway, but that was admittedly a premature concern.

"So," she managed a smile and said, in her best joking tone, which she didn't use often. "Better in a bathing suit than the Juggernaut. With hints like that, I don't know how I managed to wait this long."

	"Ok, so I'm notoriously subtle." he replies with a smirk. "How about, Giovanna Bennet, you in a bikini are the dead sexiest thing I have ever laid eyes on? Any better?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Well, that, like several other things in the past few minutes, is New.
"That...that'll do." The floor becomes absolutely fascinating for just a moment, before she looks up and smiles. And then, in a businesslike tone he's a little more used to, "I don't really think we're going to get any more work done on this form today." She carefully slips additional weight onto one of the free weights. "How about you try burning off the charge -- at least it wasn't much -- and...and if you're interested in kissing again at a reasonable height, we can see about that."

	assaultnbattery 2009-11-27 10:57 am UTC (link)
	It takes some time, since almost all of the weights have to be added to strain him enough to burn off the charge, but by the end, his clothes are baggy again, and he looks back to his old self. "Now, what was that about 'if?', didn't you mean 'when'?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, it's not good for a girl to be too presumptuous." And she'll kiss Normal Andrew now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	assaultnbattery 2009-11-27 11:24 am UTC (link)
	He kisses her back, then pulls back with a grin. "Presume away. Though if training is done for the day, what say we mark the occasion with a real date? Shall we see what kind of reservations I can manage and go for a real night on the town?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	burnwithlight 2009-11-27 11:37 am UTC (link)
	"That could be good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	assaultnbattery 2009-11-27 11:39 am UTC (link)
	"Fantastic. Can I be so presumptuous as to try and talk you into wearing a little black dress? I've heard its one of those things every girl needs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	burnwithlight 2009-11-27 11:52 am UTC (link)
	She blushed slightly. "Black does go with everything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	assaultnbattery 2009-11-27 12:10 pm UTC (link)
	"It'll look lovely with your eyes." Yeah, now that she finally broke the ice, he's not terribly shy any more. The same nerves that help him with things like, say, going before the U.N. help some too, once he gets past that initial nervousness. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Flattery, Mr. Summers, will...well, I can't say for sure what it will do. It's pretty nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, we'll just have to see what it does, because you're going to have to get used to it if we're going to work out this whole dating thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"As usual with the valid points." (Reply to this)(Parent)
