Serious Business. Also Food.
Ruth and Jay had agreed to meet at Top Dog in Berkeley at 4:30.

Ruth entered at 4:25 in her favorite denim skirt and a blue blouse, sat down, and set her books aside primly.

She made herself not look at her watch again.

	He nods. "It is, or is when you really mean it. And... I'm not sure what Thomas More has to do with it... but you have my attention." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ruth blushed. "He came to mind because he believed that... once things reached a certain point where two people... might be together for... for the long haul, that it was about time they saw each other naked so they knew what they were getting into. His work was often atypical of it's time but that's, you know, not the important part. The important part is having a serious talk about we want in... y'know, certain regards."

And Ruth, who has had sex ed in both regular school /and/ multiple years of Sunday School, can't believe she's still blushing. How ridiculous is this?

	He's a little surprised she's bringing this up, but realizes he shouldn't be, really. "What we want in the bedroom?" he at least tries to simplify it a little bit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She nods. "You've always been completely supportive of my preferences for taking it absolutely slow. I mean, we've been dating properly for almost two years, and you've never made me feel like there was anything wrong, no matter what people were saying... and I know they were." She sits back down next to him and nuzzles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He nestles in with her comfortably.

"They're absolutely wrong. Which... I should be totally honest with you... I know you sort of knew, and wanted to avoid it. I'm not a virgin. I've done a lot of dumb things, mostly while drunk. So... I know what its like. Which is why I know absolutely, positively, that you're worth waiting for. I might be tempted, but even knowing what its like, all I really want is you. Sex can wait."

	A little nod, looking down, at the thing she already knew and never wanted to talk about. But she managed to meet his eyes as he continued. "I love you so much, Jay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I love you too, Ruth. Never doubt that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't. And... I know you probably don't, but I don't want you to think that I don't ...want you," she says softly. "I do." She was pretty sure he understood: that she took it all so seriously and so measured because that was who she was, not because what she felt was some kind of attractionless affection. But she felt it was about time that it got actually said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He kisses her gently. "And I want you... when you're comfortable with it, when the time is right. I know you're looking forward to it. I am too... but you're worth waiting for. I know you believe sex is healthy, and an important bond for a married couple... and I want that. I just also know that rushing into it isn't healthy, or anything else good. When we get there, I want it to be as meaningful as possible."

	She enjoys the kiss, and then just makes an affirming noise as she stays in his arms for a bit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He snuggles with her comfortably, stroking her hair and enjoying the contact. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eventually, she sighs. "I suppose I should let you go to bed if you're going to get a full night's sleep." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rockchalk 2011-09-21 06:05 am UTC (link)
	"I should... but it won't be too long before we say good night... and then roll over and get some sleep." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And Ruth smiles. "Yeah. That's going to be nice. Good luck with stuff tomorrow. ... And don't think I'm not going to make you learn the quadratic formula backwards and forwards. Algebra's not so hard once you know the rules. And then comes the stuff with all the Xs and Os or whatever football playbooks do these days." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rockchalk 2011-09-21 06:15 am UTC (link)
	He stands after giving her one more kiss. "I'll do my best. I know, with your help, I'll manage. And... yeah, the playbook is still X's and O's. Pretty sure that's not going to change any." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiles. "Just checking. They could switch to Hs and Qs just to keep you all more preoccupied. Good night, Jay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good night, love. And, just in case, if you decide that More guy was right... I think I can restrain myself." He can't help it. She's cute when she blushes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And blush she does. "I'll remember that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That gets a grin and a blown kiss before he heads back for his dorm. (Reply to this)(Parent)
