Fireworks
Cait had eaten enough food at the cookout that she thought her stomach would explode. She love the US Independence Day and the celebrations that went with it. While Brazil had an Independence Day (it was in September), it wasn't celebrated much in Nova Roma. The Nova Romans barely recognized themselves as a part of Brazil, let alone really celebrated the Brazilian holidays. Besides, they had enough Roman holiday to have something to celebrate during every week of the year. No kidding.

Today was Independence Day in the United States and a day of Pax in Nova Roma. The two mixed rather well, surprisingly enough. In the US people set aside differences and celebrated the birth of a nation. It was a rather peaceful day overall.

Cait wandered down to the edge of the lake to watch the fireworks. Others liked watching from the lawn, but near the lake the fireworks reflected on the water and it made them even more interesting. Cait settled the surface of the lake until it was as smooth as glass. Thankfully there wasn't a breeze and it was easier than it could have been.

She spread out a blanket and sat down. With any luck she'd have some company.

Aaron had talked to Cait earlier and she had mentioned that she was going down to the lake later to watch the fireworks. He loved the Fourth of July and the fireworks were always his favorite part of the day.

Back home he would watch the fireworks on the beach which was always a lot of fun. But watching the fireworks by the lake with Cait he considered even better.

He made his way down towards the lake with a cooler of drinks. He would have brought food too be was too full to eat as well.

“Hey Cait,” He said as he got closer.

	"Aaron," she said with a big smile. "I was hoping you'd join me. I have a seat saved just for you." She patted a spot on the blanket next to her. "Best seat in the house." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Definitely looks like the best seat to me,” Aaron said with a big smile on his face, “and I wouldn’t miss this for anything.” He put the cooler down behind them before taking a seat where Cait had motioned for him to sit. “So do you know how the fireworks are suppose to be this year.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They are always good," Cait said. "But I think this year they may be the best of all." She could feel the heat touch her cheeks. It was the company that would make them better, but she couldn't tell him that despite wanting to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Yeah I think you’re probably right,” Aaron said thinking along the same lines as Cait. “So how have you been?” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm good. Surprised nothing Earth shattering has happened lately. How are you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“I’ve been pretty good too,” Aaron said, “Yeah it is surprising though let’s hope we aren’t jinxed.” He had noticed that so far nothing bad had happened to them on a date yet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait smiled. "I'm glad to hear that. Yeah, with our luck we'd have an invasion or something." Cait leaned back on her elbows. "I'm so stuffed. I think I tried everything and now my stomach is about to burst." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“I think our good luck streak will hold up.” “Yeah the food was great I ate almost as much as thanksgiving,” Aaron said stomach feeling very full. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-07-05 01:12 am UTC (link)
	"I hope so because I'm rather enjoying tonight. I don't want anything to ruin it." There was a touch of heat on her cheeks. Just to make sure Cait sent a silent prayer to the gods to have tonight go smoothly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Yeah I wouldn’t want that either,” Aaron says before doing a quick Rufus check from where he was seated. He was fairly certain he wasn’t there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-07-05 01:29 am UTC (link)
	Cait noticed him looking around. "Something wrong?" Please no. Not now. This was the first time in awhile since she got some time alone with Aaron. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aaronwyatt 2010-07-05 01:48 am UTC (link)
	“No nothing’s wrong,” Aaron said wanting to alleviate any concern, “Just making sure we didn’t have anything from here to worry about.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-07-05 02:02 am UTC (link)
	"You mean Rufus," Cait said. If anything would sabotage the night and the time with Aaron it would be her brother. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aaronwyatt 2010-07-05 02:07 am UTC (link)
	“Yeah, I noticed you hadn’t checked yeah,” Aaron said, “And with all that talk of trouble well I figured it couldn’t hurt to look. But don’t worry I didn’t catch any signs of him being here.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-07-05 02:10 am UTC (link)
	"Leave it to my brother to make us both paranoid." Cait shook her head. "Okay no more Rufus talk or thoughts." She was just going to find something to distract them and with a bout of courage from an unknown source, Cait leaned over and kissed him lightly on the mouth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aaronwyatt 2010-07-05 02:26 am UTC (link)
	Well Cait had definitely found a great way to distract him. Aaron kissed Cait back since it felt like the right thing to do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-07-05 02:31 am UTC (link)
	Her eyes went wide when she realized he was kissing her back. Her heart pounded in her chest and blood roared in her ears. The kiss ended and Cait pulled back. Her cheeks felt like they were on fire. "Sorry," she mumbled. "I just...." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aaronwyatt 2010-07-06 02:04 am UTC (link)
	“Sorry,” Aaron now feeling a bit embarrassed. He was starting to think maybe he shouldn’t have kissed her back that that he might have made a mistake. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-07-06 02:11 am UTC (link)
	Cait shook her head. "You have nothing to be sorry about. I was the one being forward." She blushed. "It /was/ rather nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aaronwyatt 2010-07-06 02:27 am UTC (link)
	“Yeah it was,” Aaron said still a little pink, “and I don’t mind you being a bit forward.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-07-06 02:43 am UTC (link)
	Cait smiled. "I will definitely keep that in mind." To show that she was, she gave him a quick kiss. She could get used to this kissing thing. It was rather nice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aaronwyatt 2010-07-06 03:05 am UTC (link)
	Aaron smiled it was definitely the best seat for the fireworks. He gave her a kiss back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-07-06 04:22 am UTC (link)
	Cait smiled. Daddy would flip if he knew she was kissing a boy. Which brought to mind that she had to tell her parents she was dating someone. Hopefully Daddy wouldn't be too hard on Aaron. Though it may just get Grandfather Lucius to stop talking about arranging a marriage for her. "Definitely the best 4th of July." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aaronwyatt 2010-07-06 04:33 am UTC (link)
	“Yes,” Aaron says in agreement, “I can’t think of a way to make it better.” Aaron probably should mention that he was dating someone to his own parent. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
