Aubrey ran to the door, checking herself in the mirror before opening it. Stacie was on the other side bouncing nervously on her toes.

"Hi." The word had barely left her lips when she felt Stacie's hands on her hips pushing her against the wall opposite the door. Stacie looked down at Aubrey with an intensity that made the blonde feel lightheaded. She was sure that if it hadn't been for Stacie's hands pinning her to the wall she would've ended up on the floor. Stacie's nostrils flared, her pupils so wide Aubrey could only make out a tiny sliver of gray. Stacie leaned down, her mouth stopping just short of Aubrey's lips making her whimper in frustration. The sound seemed to dissipate any doubts Stacie might have had and she closed the distance between them, capturing Aubrey's lips. She could feel Stacie still holding back so she buried her hands in her hair and pulled her closer, nipping on her lower lip. Stacie moaned into her mouth and Aubrey was again thankful for the wall behind her back and Stacie's steadying hands on her hips. The thought immediately left her head as one of Stacie's hands traveled up her side tentatively, her thumb grazing the bottom of her breast. She let out a ragged moan and felt Stacie smile against her lips. Stacie pressed her body impossibly closer, her leg moving in between Aubrey's, her other hand moving down to play with the hem of her dress. She felt Stacie's hand move to the back of her thigh, her hips pressing deliciously against her. Aubrey pulled back with a gasp, her own hips moving down to meet Stacie's leg. Stacie's mouth latched on to her neck sucking on her pulse point and Aubrey thought there was no better feeling in the world. Stacie, however, seemed determined to prove her wrong as her thumb grazed the inside of her thigh. Aubrey opened her eyes and noticed the open door behind Stacie. She pushed Stacie by the shoulders making her step away from her.

Stacie looked at Aubrey with a mix of lust and confusion. Aubrey shook her head and gave her a quick reassuring peck before reaching behind her and closing the door. "Bedroom. Now."

Stacie nodded and let Aubrey lead her to her room. As soon as they were inside, Aubrey pushed Stacie against the door kissing her roughly. Stacie's hands moved to her back, pulling her closer. She felt Stacie's hips pushing her back, her hands still keeping her close, making her walk back without breaking the kiss. Aubrey felt the back of her legs hit the bed and pulled back slightly. Stacie moved with her making her stumble and fall back on the bed with a yelp. Stacie's eyes moved up her body hungrily. She got on the bed and crawled over her, her tongue darting out across her lips making Aubrey shudder with anticipation.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*

Aubrey reached out and turned off her alarm with a frustrated groan. She rubbed her face with her hands trying to erase the remnants of her dream but she could still feel Stacie's lips on hers and her hands on her body. She groaned again and looked at the clock. She needed a cold shower.

The doorbell rang and Aubrey took a deep breath. She opened the door to find Stacie smiling sweetly on the other side. She bit her lip and blinked a couple of times to get rid of the image of Stacie pushing her back against the wall. "Hey."

"Hey." She smiled back and stepped back to let her in holding her breath, her eyes darting to Stacie's lips quickly.

Stacie stepped in and brought out a single pink tulip from behind her back. She held it out and blushed lightly. "I wanted to give you something but I didn't know if it was too soon for a whole bouquet."

Aubrey took the flower and smiled. "It's beautiful, thank you." She stood on her toes and kissed Stacie's cheek. "Let me put this in water and we can go."

Aubrey went into the kitchen leaving Stacie alone. She checked her hair in the mirror and turned when she heard a squeal coming from the direction Aubrey had disappeared to, followed by Aubrey saying Chloe's name and shushing her. Stacie chuckled. Aubrey came out looking a little flushed. "Let's go."

Stacie opened the passenger door of her car and Aubrey stopped with her mouth hanging open.

"This is your car?" Stacie nodded. "You have a convertible Aston Martin?"

Stacie smiled. "Well, it's a 1963 Aston Martin DB5 to be exact but yes, it's mine."

"Wow." Aubrey stepped in and Stacie closed the door. Aubrey ran her index finger along the top of the dashboard and poked the gear shift. Stacie got to the other side and got in, chuckling at Aubrey's awed face.

"You like it?"

Aubrey nodded and then looked at her narrowing her eyes. "Are you a spy?"

Stacie threw her head back laughing. "I'm not."

Stacie started the car and pulled into the street. She was aware of the fact that Aubrey was still looking at her suspiciously. She smirked and continued driving. Finally Aubrey huffed and sat back on her seat.

"Where are we going?" Stacie hadn't mentioned what they were doing, she just told Aubrey she was picking her up at 3 and to wear comfortable clothes.

Stacie smiled at her excitedly. "I talked to my mom a couple of days ago and she reminded me of this place we used to go when I was a kid, she thought you'd like it."

"You told your mom about me?"

"Yeah… Umm… We're close. I know it might seem weird but I don't know..." Stacie blushed and focused back on driving.

Aubrey leaned to the left and moved her hand under the one working the gear shift patting Stacie's leg. "I think it's sweet."

They drove the rest of the way in silence. Stacie parked in front of a building. There was a sign above the door with the letters AHS but Aubrey didn't know what it meant. Stacie squeezed the hand on her leg. "Come on."

They walked into the building and Stacie walked up to the front desk. Aubrey walked around the front room and stopped in front of a bulletin board. It had a big sign that said 'Adopt me' and pictures of dogs and cats.

"Bree?" Aubrey turned toward Stacie who seemed to be done talking to the person in charge. Stacie motioned with her head and held out her hand which Aubrey hurried to take. She thought it was weird how something so new felt like second nature to her already, her fingers finding the perfect spot between Stacie's immediately.

Aubrey followed Stacie and the woman she'd been talking to through a set of double doors and down a hallway. "Stace, what are we doing in an animal shelter?"

Stacie smiled over her shoulder with childlike excitement. "We're walking dogs!"

They went through another set of doors and found themselves in a room lined with kennels. The woman turned and smiled at them. "Just ring the bell out by the back door and someone will let you back in when you're done."

Stacie thanked the woman who walked back the way they came. Stacie looked excitedly at Aubrey. "Let's go pick some dogs!"

They walked around the room, stopping to look at each of the dogs. One, or both of them, would kneel down and call the dog over. They got to one of the smaller cages, it looked empty but Stacie noticed something moving in the corner. "Hey, little guy, wanna come out with us?"

The dog whimpered but stayed glued to the back wall. Stacie opened the gate and stepped in. "Hey." She let go of Aubrey's hand and kneeled down next to the dog as she carefully approached him "I'm not gonna do anything to you. I'm cool."

It was a really small white dog, almost like a Maltese but not quite. She inched her hand closer and the dog looked at it apprehensively. Stacie moved the back of her hand until it was about an inch under the dog's nose and held it there. The dog sniffed and pressed her nose to her hand. When he seemed to be confident enough about this strange human hand, he pushed it to the side and ducked under it, making Stacie pet his head. "There you go."

She moved closer and used both her hands to scratch his ears. "Aw he's such a cutie. We're taking you out!"

Aubrey watched this exchange trying really hard not to melt into a puddle at how adorable Stacie was. Stacie looked up at her and beckoned her over, taking her hand and pulling her down next to her. "This is Aubrey. She's gonna be a vet and take care of cute little dudes just like you!"

Aubrey chuckled and let the dog sniff her before she pet him. She looked at his name tag. "Hey, Archer. How's it going? Do you wanna go take a walk with Stace and me?" The dog licked her hand and Aubrey laughed, "I think he does."

Stacie stood up and brought back a leash. She fastened it to the dog's collar and pulled him gently with her. "Let's go find a friend for Bree."

Stacie locked the gate behind her and took Aubrey's hand again. Aubrey smiled and stepped closer to Stacie. "You're really cute, you know?"

Stacie leaned down slightly. "Oh yeah?"

Aubrey stretched up and nodded, their noses touching lightly. Stacie was about to close the gap between their mouths when the dog pulled her forward making her stumble. Aubrey laughed and followed them down the side of the kennels until Archer stopped in front of one and started yelping excitedly. Aubrey looked in and saw a huge St. Bernard sleeping. Stacie opened the gate and Archer ran in, bumping into the other dog and running around. Aubrey kneeled down and looked at the dog. He looked back at her, opening one eye lazily. "Hey, boy." The dog's ear twitched. Archer decided to jump on him and he groaned and turned. Aubrey scratched his ear and looked at his name tag. "Hunter."

They leashed him and walked out the back door with both dogs. Archer seemed to have completely gotten over his initial shyness and kept skipping between Stacie's feet and Hunter's side. Hunter occasionally acknowledged him by bumping him lightly with his head but stayed glued to Aubrey's side. Stacie tried to hold Aubrey's hand a couple of times but Archer kept running ahead making her let go.

A squirrel crossed the path in front of them, Archer stiffened and started growling before darting behind it, Stacie running to keep up leaving Aubrey bent over with laughter next to Hunter. Finally, Archer realized he wasn't going to catch up and stopped to pee on a tree. Stacie caught her breath and glared at him. "Dude, you need to stop cockblocking me like that. This is a date, I'm supposed to be with her, not running after squirrels. Come on, let's get back and let me hold her hand for like five minutes."

Stacie walked back to where Aubrey was standing. "We decided to let it get away."

"Oh, you decided?" Aubrey smirked at her. Stacie took her hand and looked pointedly at the dog as if daring him to pull her away. He seemed to be tired from running after the squirrel and walked close to Stacie.

"Yeah, squirrels are too stressed already to add to that." Aubrey laughed and shook her head.

They walked in silence for a couple of minutes, Stacie almost cheering because Archer hadn't pulled her away from Aubrey the whole time. Aubrey pulled her off the path and onto the grass. Hunter finally decided he'd had enough and sat down refusing to move. They shrugged and sat next to him, Archer settling on top of Hunter. Stacie smiled at them. "They're adorable."

"You're adorable." Aubrey hooked her index finger in the collar of her shirt and pulled her down kissing her softly. Stacie kept her eyes closed savoring the feeling. She opened them and found Aubrey looking at her smiling. She smiled back and leaned down again to kiss her. She tilted her head to deepen the kiss. Aubrey felt Stacie's tongue on her lower lip and she opened her mouth; this felt way better than her dream. Stacie let go of her hand and cradled the back of her head pulling her closer as her thumb traced her jaw. Aubrey moaned and pulled back, resting her forehead on Stacie's and trying to catch her breath.

"What are you doing to me?"

Stacie smiled and kissed her lightly. "I can stop."

Aubrey opened her eyes alarmed. "Please don't."

"I won't." Stacie chuckled and pulled her back into a kiss. Aubrey threw her arms around her neck, the leash in her hand restricting her movements. Stacie placed her hands high on her waist, her thumb perilously close to one of her breasts making Aubrey have a flashback to her dream. She deepened the kiss, Stacie started to move her thumb up and down her ribs making her moan. Suddenly Stacie felt something on her leg. She saw Archer trying to get up on her lap and she groaned. "Come on! What did I say about cockblocking?"

Aubrey stopped in front of her door and pulled Stacie close, wrapping her arms around her waist. "Thanks for taking me out, it was great."

Stacie smiled and blushed lightly. "I'm glad you had fun."

Stacie ran her hands up Aubrey's arms and pushed her hair behind her ear before leaning down to kiss her. It was soft and sweet and perfect and Stacie couldn't believe she got to do this multiple times already. Aubrey's tongue sneaked out and nudged her lips apart. Stacie tilted her head and deepened the kiss, her fingers playing with the hairs on the back of Aubrey's neck. After a while, Aubrey slowed the kiss down and brought her hand to Stacie's front, pushing her back lightly with a hand on her stomach. "Let me know when you get home."

Stacie nodded and Aubrey turned to open the door. She leaned on the doorway and Stacie stepped up and kissed her again. Aubrey chuckled and pulled away. "Go."

Stacie pouted and tried to kiss her again but Aubrey pushed her shoulder lightly. "Go."

"Fine." Stacie turned to leave and Aubrey reached out to grab her wrist and pull her back for another kiss. Her other hand cupped her cheek, Stacie's free hand landing on Aubrey's hip.

Stacie was the one to break the kiss this time. "Okay, really leaving now."

Aubrey nodded and stepped back into her apartment. She closed the door and leaned against it with her eyes closed.

"This is starting to become a habit." Aubrey opened her eyes at the sound of Chloe's voice. "Am I going to have to scrape you off the floor after every date?"

Aubrey blushed and looked down. "I think so."

A/N: So the date idea wasn't mine, it was my awesome best friend's (and beta which mostly means she comments and yells at me a lot before I post it). I'd tell you to read her fics but she refuses to tell me her username (whatever, I don't even wanna know). So thanks, jelly bean!
