Misty had pulled Cordelia into her apartment behind her and Cordelia had followed her willingly. She pushed her down on a bar stool in her kitchen before placing the grocery bags down on the counter and pulling out the things that she had bought.
Cordelia watched until something in the corner of her eye caught her attention. She turned and was met with the sight of Misty's dog. She got up and kneeled down in front of him, "Hi, buddy," Cordelia looked up when he didn't respond to her, "Does he not like me?"
"It's okay, Nicks," The puppy then happily almost tackled Cordelia backwards as he licked at her face, "Ya asked for that," Cordelia laughed and played with him for a while.
"What kind of dog is he?"
"Dunno," She looked up and Misty shrugged, "I found him about a year ago. He'd been hit by a car and left for dead, so I took him ta the vet. And then I kept him," Cordelia smiled warmly up at the woman, "And he's so gentle and well behaved, I mean who would just leave him there like that. Ya know?"
Cordelia stood and walked over to the woman. She wrapped her arms around Misty's waist from behind and leaned her forehead to her back, "You are the kindest person," Misty laughed and caught one of Cordelia's hands and brought it to her lips to press soft kisses to her knuckles, "So caring and so so sweet," Misty laughed and turned in her arms to wrap her own around Cordelia.
She leaned down and pressed a kiss to the end of Cordelia's nose and giggled lightly when she wrinkled it up, "How was work today?" Was asked as she lightly traced the still present but fading bruise.
"It was fine," Misty met brown eyes, "I'm fine, Misty," She nodded and tapped the woman's nose before turning back around. Cordelia took her previous seat back on the stool and looked across the counter at the woman, "What are you making?"
Misty turned away and grabbed a wine glass from the cabinet and poured the wine she'd picked up into it before sitting it in front of the woman. Cordelia smiled her thanks and Misty answered, "Gumbo," The shorter blonde let out a snort and Misty looked up in question, "Nothing," Misty just started, "It's just.. Wine.. And gumbo," Misty laughed then and leaned across the counter, "What?"
"I wanna kiss ya," Cordelia nodded and leaned forward to connect their lips. Misty pulled back with a grin on her face and finally made her way to the stove. She got everything together and turned the burner on before making her way back to the woman.
Misty stepped up between her knees and wrapped her arms around her waist. She leaned down and connected their lips languidly. As she pulled back, Cordelia caught her bottom lip between her teeth and Misty let out a moan. She opened blue eyes and caught mischievous brown ones before laughing and leaning forward to kiss the woman's cheek.
"So. How was work for you?" Misty laughed as she thought about it and Cordelia looked at her questioningly.
"It's nothin'. My day was fine," Cordelia raised an eyebrow, "Okay, so I usually get a bunch of dudes that come in lookin' ta apologize or ask someone out, ya know? The usual," Cordelia nodded slowly, "Well this boy came in today. He couldn't have been more than eighteen and his thin' was, "Which flowers are guaranteed ta get me laid?"," Cordelia scrunched her nose up in distaste at that and Misty nodded.
"Please tell me you didn't tell him where the magical fuck me flowers were," Misty let out a loud laugh at that and looked at the woman with shining eyes.
"Ya are so damn precious," Cordelia blushed and Misty pressed a kiss to her cheek, "No, I didn't tell him where the "fuck me" flowers were," Cordelia nodded and grinned up at the woman, "I asked him what he wanted ta say ta her.. I guess I should have told him ta keep it PG," Cordelia's eyes widened and she looked at Misty in alarm.
"Mist, that's verbal assault," The wild blonde shook her head.
"I'm fine, baby," Cordelia finally nodded and Misty started her story back up, "Well I finally got ta somethin' along the lines of... "You're hot. I wanna have sex. Your butt turns be on." And my personal favorite, "You're cuter than my last girlfriend." So yeah," Cordelia laughed, "I gave him roses. He was insistent on roses so he got a bouquet of damn roses. And then do ya know what this little prick did?"
"Do I want to know?" Misty rolled her eyes.
"He handed the damn flowers ta me," Cordelia's eyes went wide and Misty watched her face contort in anger.
"That's not okay. Does he come in there often?"
"Oh, he won't any more. I made sure ta tell him exactly where he could shove those flowers," Cordelia nodded.
"Good. No one should talk to you like that," Misty smiled down at her and hugged her to her, "You're too perfect for someone to be less than eloquent with you."
"Thanks, darlin'," Cordelia nodded into her shoulder and breathed in deeply enjoying the scent of the other woman.
oooOOooOOooo
The two of them had eaten and were now sat in Misty's living room with their wine glasses. Cordelia was curled up on the couch and Misty was sat cross legged facing her, "Dee?"
"Hmm?" Cordelia didn't look up as she traced her fingers lightly along the skin of Misty's calf.
"Will ya.. Stay? Tonight?" Cordelia looked up with a grin on her face, "It's just-" Cordelia cut her off
"No, I get it. I haven't slept that good in God only knows how long," Misty breathed out a sigh and nodded, "And I loved waking up to you," She blushed as she said this and dropped her gaze to her lap. Misty smiled and leaned forward to grab her hand and lace their fingers together.
"Me too."
