"Lizzie," Red called, shaking her shoulders. She'd laid down to take a nap an hour ago. "Lizzie."

"Wha?" She said after waking up. Blinking up at him, she frowned.

"Donna and Charles are expecting us to be downstairs soon," he stated. She gave a small groan and clutched her pillow.

"You interrupted a really good dream," she muttered and looked as though she would fall asleep again. Red flung her clothes at her, making her flinch when a dress hit her head.

"We need to get ready," he said, straightening his vest. "Well, you need to get ready."

"Do you think Charles will tell me how that story ends?" Liz asked making Red pause. He glanced over at her to see that she was finally sitting up.

"Please tell me you didn't dream about that smutty story," he said. Liz rolled her eyes and flung her pillow at him. He caught it with ease before smirking. "You could have just woken me up and lived it."

"Do you always have to flirt?"

"When it comes to you, yes."

Dinner had gone exceedingly well. Red had gotten to talk and laugh with his friends while holding Liz's hand under the table. She'd gotten to watch him laughing and smiling while she sipped her wine. She had to admit that it was nice seeing him this happy.

When it came time for dessert, Donna and Charles had ordered something to share. Not to be outdone, Red ordered something for him and Liz. Of course, after he did it, he gave her a worried look as if wondering if she had wanted to do things differently. The worried look went away when she ran her thumb over his knuckles soothingly.

A moment later, the waiter came with a hot fudge covered brownie with ice cream. Liz's mouth watered just looking at the thing. Needless to say, she was happy that Red let her have the first bite. Of course, she did give him a nasty look when he took two bites in a row instead of passing her the spoon again. He blushed and handed it back over to her. Instead of giving it back, she just held a bite out for him. He hesitated but still leaned forward and took the bite.

"Keeping me in line, Lizzie?" He asked with a chuckle. She smiled, getting a bite for herself.

"When it comes to food, you can't be trusted," she responded. Donna and Charles exchanged amused glances. It was funny to see the two of them looking at each other with goo goo eyes like they'd never been on a date before.

Red and Liz walked back down the hall hand in hand. Every once in a while, one of them would stagger a little. They'd both eaten and drank a little too much to where it was nearly a high. Red opened the door for them to go inside.

"That was fun," Liz stated, sitting on the edge of the bed and slipping her shoes off. Red nodded while he unbuttoned his vest. Liz bit her lower lip as she watched him. Even with being well past tipsy, she wasn't sure if she should say this.

"Hey, Red," she called.

"Hmm?" He hummed looking over at her. She gave him a coy smile that sent a chill down his spine.

"You said something earlier about living that story?" She asked. His eyes widened slightly. It didn't take a genius to understand what she was implying. It also didn't take a genius to understand why he was over to her in a second, lips plastered to hers with his fingers in her hair. Liz let her eyes slip shut while she wrapped her arms around his shoulders. He made a noise in the back of his throat before leaning forward. She tasted like wine and chocolate.

Liz pulled him down to where he was on top of her. He started to trail kisses down her neck before stopping altogether. Liz furrowed her brow in confusion.

"Red?" She asked. She jumped a little when he snored in her ear. "How the hell did he fall asleep at a time like this?" She asked and tried to push him away. He clung to her waist and continued to snore. "How do I get you off of me?"

That's the last chapter for this one. Another set should be up soon.
