Just a Cup of Coffee
Lily was walking down the street in her own thoughts about her children and her new marriage, when she heard a well-known voice from behind.
"Hi Lil." Rufus Humphrey greeted. She turned around just to meet Rufus' irresistible face. She couldn't cave. She had to focus.
"Rufus." she replied in a voice that she meant to be cold but it turned out kind of shaky and nervous.
"So, how's married life?" he asked. She could tell that he read her like an open book, but still she tried to hold the façade.
"So far, I have no complains." Lily simply replied.
"So, how about a cup of coffee?" he asked innocently, looking at her with those eyes. She couldn't let her self fall for that.
"Rufus, I really need to get home to the kids…and Bart." she said.
"So Bart is home these days?" Rufus asked with a glimpse in his eyes.
"Well-" Lily began.
"Come on, Lil. It's just a cup of coffee. What would it hurt?" he asked, locking her gaze with those eyes she couldn't resist.
"All right." she finally agreed, knowing that she shouldn't have. She caved. They both knew that a cup of coffee could easily lead to more.

What a couple of cappuccinos could do. Lily had really had fun with Rufus chatting about old times.
"Right! Like you don't remember that one time on the backseat of that truck, Lil? Come on." Rufus laughed.
"You don't have to burst it out so the whole coffee house can hear it, do you?" Lily said with a little smile on her face. Rufus was still the same guy he was twenty years ago. Well, except he had grown into a more mature and – if Lily had anything to say about it – handsome look. She knew she was married, but the fact was that if Rufus asked her to do something locking her with those eyes or tried to kiss her even, she would not be able to resist. She knew it would be physically impossible. Literally. She couldn't help it. So she hoped he wouldn't do anything like that. Or maybe she hoped he would.
"Lily?" she heard Rufus call, ripping her out of her thoughts.
"Sorry! What?" Lily asked, confused.
"I was just saying, maybe I should go home. I have got to cook the kids a dinner." Rufus informed her. "But of course, you can come if you want. Your kids will probably not be home anyway." he continued.
"No, Serena is with Blair today and Eric is with your daughter after what I recall…but I don't think it would be a good idea." she mumbled. She was actually able to deny. He hadn't locked her gaze yet. Oh no, there it was.
"Come on, Lily. It'll be fun." he said, now with the begging eyes that almost made her faint.
"Well okay Rufus. Let's go then." she grinned. My God, did she just agree to go home with him?

"Anybody home?" Rufus yelled, as they entered the house in Brooklyn. "Apparently not." he continued.
"I'm sure they'll be her any minute." Lily said.
"Yeah, yeah. Definitely." he agreed. "Make yourself comfortable."
"Thank you." she said, taking her coat off and sitting down by the kitchen table. For the next hour, the two cooked and laughed
"Come on, taste it." Lily said, putting a spoon before his mouth. Rufus laughed and opened his mouth, letting her feet him tomato sauce.
"Mm, that is delicious." he exclaimed. He had a little sauce left on his lip, and Lily just wanted to lick it off. She didn't though. She took a paper towel and leaned in to take it. As she did, Rufus pulled her closer by the waist and pecked her gently on the lips. She knew he would do something like that, and he apparently knew that she wasn't in any position to resist him. But still, she decided to say something, even though it was hard getting out any words all of a sudden. She felt like some teenager again.
"Wait. Your kids aren't coming home anytime soon, are they?" Lily asked.
"Of course they are. At least, I thought so."
"No you didn't, you just said that to make me come." she grinned.
"Lil, don't be stupid. I would never do anything like that." he said with a glimpse in those wonderful eyes. She knew that was exactly what he would do.
