Once she sent the invite to his omnitool, it was barely five minutes before she heard her door ping and slide open. Then Garrus' voice, "You know, it's nice coming here without having to plan a casino infiltration or an archive raid."
She laughed, crossing to him and holding out a glass of dextro wine which he took with a smile. Swirling the contents of her own glass, she grinned. "Yeah, every now and then our lives do calm down."
"Better alert Allers. That's breaking news if I ever heard it." He tapped his glass against hers and took a sip as they moved further into the apartment, settling onto the couch in front of the fire. "It is a nice place though... shame about the windows. Needs better blinds, hide movement... and it probably wouldn't hurt to add kinetic barriers over the glass." He would have said more, and she knew it, if she hadn't put two fingers over his mouth.
"Uh uh, no shop talk. We've had enough excitement for one shore leave." She smirked a bit as he took her hand in order to kiss her fingers before lowering them, though not quite letting go.
"Just one? I'd think an evil clone would be worth two shore leaves at least." He shook his head, downed the rest of his drink, and smirked. "Man, too bad she had to be evil, though. Imagine what you could do if there were two of you." A thoughtful pause, his mandibles twitching. "Imagine what we could do if there were two of you."
Finishing her own drink, she fixed him with a glare. "Watch it, Vakarian. I know where you sleep."
"Not on the Citadel you don't."
"Oh yes I do." She slid closer to him, running the tips of her fingers across his chin. "You'll be sleeping in this apartment, with me, and if you had plans to be anywhere else tonight, cancel 'em."
An intrigued little hum came from the back of his throat. He paused only long enough to take both their glasses and set them aside before using both arms to pull her close. "You know, I take back what I said. One of you is enough for me to handle."
She returned his kiss with equal passion, and grinned when they parted. "Good, 'cause I'm not going anywhere... and if I never hear the word 'clone' again, I can die happy."
Laughing, he pulled her as close as possible, practically into his lap. "You and me both. I bet normal couples don't have to deal with the girlfriend's evil double trying to take over her life."
"I'd hope not." She settled her arms around his neck. "Maybe with all this free time on our hands, we could try having a real first date. See how good we are at being normal."
"Worth a shot. I'll scope out where we can go." He ran his fingers up her arm, cupped the side of her face to gently shift her for another kiss. "But for now..."
She moved her hand to the back of his head, met his questioning gaze with a sly smile. "For now, I'm all yours."
