"So, do you have any plans for tonight?" Damon asked this as he threw himself down onto the couch next to Emily who was watching television, reaching his arms around her and pulling her onto his lap.
Emily raised her eyebrows at him. "I don't know. Do I?"
Their busy schedules both had them in New York at the same time for eight entire days. They were taking advantage of this. By basically never leaving Damon's apartment. Or his bedroom.
"Double date. You, me, Summer and Sasha."
He kissed her forehead and she looked at him skeptically. "That seems very… public. Since we are trying to keep our relationship private"
"Well, it's not like we're taking a news crew with us," Damon said with a shrug. "Besides, he's your former coach, she's your friend. It's totally innocent."
This made Emily laugh. "Innocent? That's how you're describing the past four days?"
"Definitely not." He kissed her and felt her smile on his lips. "But," he continued after they broke apart, "this will be fairly innocent. Double date. At a cool place. Nice and crowded. We'll blend right in."
Emily shifted slightly so her back was resting against his chest. "Are you going to give me any details about this mystery date?"
Damon slowly trailed his finger tips and up down her arm. "Hmm." he was silent for a moment before he continued. "Well, do you like clowns?"
Emily laughed again. She leaned to the side so she could look up into his eyes. "Clowns? Like… under a tent?"
"Yes, those kinds of clowns."
Emily looked at him closely, but she was smiling. "Where are you taking me? You know how I feel about surprises."
"You'll see, love. You'll see"
