"Here," Claudia waved the piece of paper in front of Leena's face and indulgently watched the innkeeper's eyes cross slightly. It was adorable, the fact that it happened every time and the fact that she'd never tire doing it.
"What's this?" Leena frowned, taking in the scribbled writing on post-it note and not understanding a word it said.
Claudia was offended enough to roll her eyes. Her writing wasn't the best but it wasn't as bad as Leena made it out to be. "You, me… dinner at 8."
"We're going to dinner?" Leena smiled hopefully.
Claudia grinned back and nodded, placing both forearms on Leena's shoulders. "Pete's way of thanking us for getting us out of 2D mode and for putting us through cardboard hell in the first place." She reached up and traced one of the paper cuts across Leena's cheek with a thumb. "That was close."
"It was," Leena said grudgingly. "But we've been through worse scrapes before, huh?"
At that, Claudia grinned. "That we have," she whispered and stepped even closer, her breath soon upon the older woman's lips. "But paper cuts really suck." she reasoned with a smirk.
Leena grinned bashfully and pecked at the lips so close to her own, wrapping her arms around the agent's sturdy shoulders. "Okay… dinner." she said as she pulled away. "I like the sound of that."
"Yeah?" Claudia smiled, fingers padding along the bountiful flesh at Leena's hips. "Okay good… Get ready to get sticky." She said, biting her lip to stop herself from laughing as she broke away and began to walk towards the innings of the Warehouse.
"Sticky?" Leena swallowed thickly. "What do you mean sticky?" she asked with a squeak.
"Saucy Joe's." The other woman chirped.
"I'm sorry?" Now the innkeeper was truly crossing her eyes in confusion.
"New ribs joint in town, remember?" Claudia grinned, leaning on the door casually. "Apparently the Acapulco sauce is to die for," she said, sounding suspiciously like a character from Ugly Betty.
"Ribs?" Leena's mouth moved slowly.
"Yep. Meet me there, I'll see you soon." Claudia said, and with that the young inventor flounced off with a salacious wink.
Once Leena's head cleared and she'd stopped gawping at thin air, she blew a frustrated breath at a strand of hair dangling down her face and sat back down at the computer. And while she managed to half-heartedly focus on her work, her heart eagerly awaited the somewhat unorthodox romantic meal with her zany girlfriend. She rolled her eyes and scoffed, unable to keep the smile from her face. Sticky indeed.
