Glinda put the keys down and flipped on the lights. The living room was 3 ivory walls with a navy blue accent wall. One wall was completly covered in bookshelves filled with books on all subjects. There was an ivory chaise and a navy couch facing an old television on an old cart painted yellow. The floor was green shag carpet which dated past her entire life. There were three doors leading down a hallway to the other rooms. Glinda took of her hat, heels, and cardigan throwing them on the mailtable. "You're welcome to put your things anywhere in here." She left for a minute to return in a cami, and a pair of sweats. "Sorry if I look bad on our date, I mean heels are killer though you wouldn't know anything about that would you?" She snorted and covered her mouth "I didn't mean to do that." Even though she really liked him she wished she could stop snorting, it was unladylike.
Conor set his things down, then walked over to Glinda. He slipped his cool hand underneath her jaw and guided her lips to his. He kissed her for the boy, too shy, too innocent, and the young man, too guarded, too late- He kissed her for all of those times he hadn't before. When he pulled away, he looked into her eyes. They hadn't changed in all these years. 'I think it's beautiful.' SQUEEK. Conor jumped, ruining the moment. Elphie had gotten into the bag of candy corn in his coat pocket. 'Oh no! Bad piggy!' He ran over and tried to pry Elphies face from the bag.
Glinda blushed and pushed her hair back and laughed "Well um thanks haha." She played with her hair and her face was stuck in a grin, Glinda put her hand on her hip "Why did you have candy corn in your pocket?" She looked at Conor battling a pig for candy corn his hair was hanging in his face which was hindering the rescue mission. Glinda laid down on the chaise and sighed her hands on her diaphram breathing in the air she was sharing with so many loved ones. The air seemed calmer, and like their was more of it then usual. Glinda turned her head to see Conor again "Hey,"
Having wondered who he didn't think of it sooner, Conor pulled out his wand from his pocket. he muttered something, and the bag lifted off of EWphies head and onto the table. Conor sighed in relief. 'I like candy corn...' He said sheepishly, walking over to the chaise. He picked up Glindas legs, sat down, and lay them over his lap. 'So, my dear, what do you want to watch?'
Glinda shrugged "Conor just pick, if you like it I probably will too." Glinda reached across the table and picked up a candy corn "I like Candy Corn too." Glinda moved his legs after a minute "Why don't you get a movie from your apartment and I will get some snacks from my kitchen?"
Conor smiled. 'okay. I should change, anyways.' He stood up and straightened his scarf. 'I'll be back soon.' He kissed Glindas head and was out the door. When he got to his apartment, he shut the door and immediately started hyperventilating. He Smiled like a little kid and giggled to himself. Butterflies filled his stomach. He took a deep breath, then went to go change. He changed into thin black lounge pants and a charcoal v-neck wife-beater. He put on slippers with raccoon ears, grabbed a few DVD's, and was out the door. In the elevator, he was alone. That was good. He geeked out. He was about to sleep over at Glinda's place. He could play with her hair wail they watched roman holiday. He could fall asleep with her in his arms like he always wanted to at hogwarts. He loved her, and now he could tell her that. He knocked on Glinda's apartment's door. As it opened, a rush of cool air caring her scent brought what seemed like a million butterflies. "hey, I brought roman holiday..." He smiled at her.
As the door shut behind Conor, Glinda exhaled "Oh my god" She muttered. He messed with her head and made her feel like she was on drugs. "Okay Glinda how can we not seem like we are crazy." Elphie oinked "That's not a great idea Elphaba." She sighed again and caught her reflection the mirrior over the mailtable. She frowned and went to fix herself up. She ran to the bathroom and looked at the various makeup on the table. She grabbed her hair brush and brushed her hair out of the ponytail and put some lipgloss on. She ran her hand against the porcelain counter, thinking of what would impress Conor. She decided on some large silver hoop earrings. "What was I supposed to do? OH CRAP FOOOD" She ran into the kitchen and opened the fridge. Her fridge was reminiscent of a college kid, beer and junk food. She grabbed popcorn, and a cake which she most defintley didn't put there on purpose for this reason. With her fingers she grabbed two beers and jogged to the living room and spread it out on the table. She puckered her lips and grabbed Elphie. The door knocked and she ran over with Elphie in her arms. "hey, I brought roman holiday..." Glinda smiled "I haven't seen it. It's with Audrey Hepburn right?"
'yeah, that's the one.' Conor replied as they walked into the apartment. He put the movie in and cat down on the chaise. Elphie snorted at him, and it tried to pick her up, but she just screamed. 'Glinda...?' Conor looked up at the girl standing next to him. 'I think Elphie hates me...' He laughed.
Glinda frowned "I think she just squeals. A lot. But it's all cool because we are going to watch a movie together with our piglet." Conor sat on the chaise and Glinda picked up Elphie and sat beside him "Conor can I ask you a question. It's kinda serious."
Conor kissed Glinda without any warning, without even thinking. 'I would love to.' He hugged her as closely as he could, until he could feel her breath, her heartbeat. He realized he might be getting creepy and let go. Glinda sat back down, and Conor pulled a blanket over their shoulders. He grinned behind it for a moment, then wrapped his arms around Glinda. This was all he ever wanted. 'You know, I had a crush on you all through school...' He admitted shyly.
Glinda clapped "Yay! Oh Conor that is so sweet, why didn't you tell me! " She slapped his arm and laughed "Well at least we are together now!" The movie started and she snuggled against him.
'You never seemed like you would like me back...' Conor said, drifting into that mood were you are half asleep. 'But I really liked you. I still do...' He yawned. He always fell asleep quickly. The next thing Conor saw was sunlight. He had fallen asleep! Glinda lay next to him on the chaise. He yawned and stretched. 'Good morning.' He whispered into her ear. He kissed her neck before sitting up to stretch some more.
Glinda shrugged him off "I always thought you were a cutie" She winked at him and he was soon asleep. Glinda watched the movie end and noticed that Conor was sound asleep. She dozed off and soon she felt his warm kiss "Hey babe you finally have awaken. Do you want some breakfast. I am not a housewife so I ain't cooking but we could go to a diner or something."
Conor was already rifling through her fridge. "There's nothing but beer and a few condiments..." He stood up and addressed Glinda. "We need to go shopping." He walked over and lay down next to her again, picking up the blanket and covering himself. It was warm under there, lying next to her. Her blonde hair was a mess- parts over her eye, parts bunched up by her chin, parts curled into spirals. But, to him, she was more beautiful in that moment then she had ever been. Her glowing skin, her eyes that caught the slow morning light through the window. She looked like a beam of sunlight through the clouds, ethereal and pure. Conor smiled and drew his index across her face, from her temple to her chin, and back again in a circle. He leaned towards her, his lips hovering over hers until he could feel the pull that told him she wanted to kiss him too, the indescribable tug at your heart, that love-to-love feeling. He kissed her so lightly, so quickly, it seemed as if he didn't even kiss her at all. Her smile assured him that he did. Conor rest his head on the pillow and happy-sighed. 'were do you even shop at?' He muttered to lighten the mood.
Glinda peered around the couch looking into the kitchen "Um normally I get my groceries at the local foodstore. Though I normally by bread, frozen food, and bread. Though I normally don't even eat brekkie since i get up at like 12." She got up slowly since it was so nice and wonderful on the couch.It was warm and a happy place to be. She heard a strange noise and turned around "OH GOD. oh that's right we have a baby now." She went to the chair and picked up Elphie "Baby doodle can you stay here without ruining everything for 5 seconds?" Elphie nuzzled her nose on Glinda's shoulder. "Well okay!" She turned to Conor "I have to get dressed be right back." She went into her room and slipped off her sweats and cami she put on a classy lace bra, and threw a grey loose tank top over that. She struggled into her super-legging like jeans. She rumaged around her closet and found her black toms. She brished her hair back and covered it with a grey beanie. She found various silver rings and and walked out of her room. She saw that Elphie was fed and Conor was leaning against door frame "You're ready?"
