[He smiled gently at that kiss. He usually wasn't like that either but he couldn't deny the attraction. Maybe it was the fact he got to know her and spent time talking to her. Sure he stopped just short of taking her to bed, even though god he had wanted to. Kissing had done very well for him, and the touching.]
[She had been trying so hard to respect him and stick to her promise that she would be different. So it was probably good that they had waited though she had been just as willing.]
Why don't you come over and I'll give you your present now? Though I have to say there's nothing on me to unwrap today.
[He loads her bags in and smiles listening to her. His arm slipped around her waist drawing her close. He kisses her softly, letting the kiss linger for a few savored moments.]
[Once they got to her building she shouldered open the door and helped him carry everything in, stashing it under a modest Christmas tree in the corner.]
Make yourself comfortable. I'll put the drinks on. Do you want marshmallows?
[Yes she's going all Martha Stewart on this holiday.]
