On With The Show; Sierra.

[Eric Sutton]

-after time skip-

I'd left school as fast as I could, hoping that I'd beat Sierra home and be able to carry out my plan. I run a hand ovr my beard, leaning forward to scoot the candle a bit closer to the center of the table before turning around to grab a fork and set them beside each plate, hoping everything looked nice. I turn around for the lighter to wander around the kitcen and part of the living room, lighting candles. I jump as my phone goes off and finish the alst candle, scurrying over to read a text from Sierra telling me she was coming home. I grab the two wine glasses, fill mine with wine, hers with water and lean casually against the kitchen island, grabbing the single rose and holding it in my hand. It probably looked like I was hoping to get lucky, but, really, I just wanted to make up for that whole fiasco with Ms. Bell, even if Sierra didn't seem mad.

[Sierra Eckler]

I smile when I finally turn into his driveway and look at how dark it was on the inside though Eric's truck was there. Had he already gone to bed? I shrug and get out of my car, walking to the door and opening it before seeing the candles and him standing at the kitchen island, a rose in his hand. My mouth drops and I walk in, closing the door with my foot as I looked around and walked to him. "What's the occasion?" I ask, pushing my hair from my face and looking up at him. It was gorgeous, I had to admit. For a minute, I kind of think that he just wants sex though I knew that couldn't be the reason. My lips reach his cheek and I smile at him before looking around again.

[Eric Sutton]

A grin crosses my face as she walks in, her mouth dropping open as she looked around. "To apologize for.. the other night." I reply, looking down at my feet, not able to bring myself to say 'having sex with Ms. Bell'. I hold out the rose to Sierra, wrapping my other arm around her waist to pull her to me for a quick hug. "C'mon, I cooked spaghetti.. not exactly my forte, but I tried." I say, pulling out a stool for her at the island ebfore sitting down on my own stool, looking over at her to see if she liked it or not. "Got you water." I add, gesturing towards ehr glass as I take a sip of my wine.

[Sierra Eckler]

I shake my head and smile before taking the rose from him. It was the most romantic thing anyone had done for me and I was kind of amazed that someone would go to such great lengths to do something like this to apologize. "It's amazing," I breathe before sitting on the stool he pulled out for me. I take a bite of the spaghetti and look around again before smiling and taking a sip of my water. I take another bite of the spaghetti and giggle lightly before looking at him after I wipe my mouth. "Thanks," I say, pressing my lips to his lightly before pulling back to smile at him again.

[Eric Sutton]

"Welcome." I say happily, glad that she liked it. I cut into my spaghetti with my fork, bringing it up to my mouth before mentally shrugging. It wasn't bad, not the best I'd ever had, but good. "Its not a problem, now eat your food, I slaved over that." I reply after Sierra presses her lips to mine. I take a sip of my wine before setting it back on the counter and eating a couple more bites of spaghetti. My blue eyes wander around the kitchen, watching the candles flicker, the light waving across the walls.

[Sierra Eckler]

I giggle lightly when he tells me to eat and take a couple of bites, looking around the kitchen before resting on Eric again. A blush crosses my cheek at my thoughts and take a sip from my water. Since tomorrow started spring break, maybe we wouldn't have to worry about much. My hand rests on his thigh and I smile slightly as I take another bite of spaghetti, almost done with it. Maybe we could have sex tonight and not worry about anyone or anything bothering us. It would be my way of telling him everything was okay instead of letting him worry about it for a while.

[Eric Sutton]

I take a couple more bites out of my spaghetti, soon almost done with it. I take a sip of my wine again, looking down as Sierra's hand rested on my thigh. I blink, my blue eyes finding her face. I mentally wonder what she was thinking but leave her hand where it was, finishing my food and tipping back my glass. "Need to rinse these." I mumble, getting up from my stool and running water into my glass and scrubbing the leftover sauce off from my plate.

[Sierra Eckler]

I smile slightly at him before finishing my spaghetti and soon my water. I get up and follow him to the sink rinsing mine before taking both of our plates and putting them in the dishwasher. I look back him and play with his hand for a second before smiling slightly. I would have to put my thoughts in action though it was strange for me to think of such things with him. My head rests against his chest and I close my eyes, wrapping my arms around him.

[Eric Sutton]

I lean against the counter as she sticks everything in the dishwasher and run ahand through my hair. I grin as Sierra fiddles with my hand before her head rests on my chest, her arms wrapping around me. I wrap mine around hers, pressing my lips to the top of her head. "Should probably blow the candles out; fire hazard."I state, looking at the candles though I don't make any move to start to, instead staying where I was with Sierra.

[Sierra Eckler]

His arm wrapping around me only makes me try to move closer. I rest my cheek against his chest and smile before looking up at him and smiling. "Yeah, that would be a good reason," I say, holding his hand as I move to blow out a few candles. After a few minutes, there is only one candle left and I stand with Eric beside it before kissing him, my free hand cupping his cheek before I accidentally move my hips against his and blush, though I don't pull away.

[Eric Sutton]

She moves closer and a blush crosses my face before she agrees and I let her go to wander out to blow out the few in the living room before going back into the kitchen, Sierra and I working our way around until we meet at the one candle. Her hand cups my cheek as we kiss, my arms wrapped around her waist. I pause for a moment as her hips brush against mine and I finally run my tongue across her lower lip. Maybe it was the bit of alcohol in my system, maybe the candle light was getting to me- I didn't know.

[Sierra Eckler]

His tongue runs across my lip and I gladly open my, wrapping my arms around his neck. I'm about to release him to blow out the last candle but I decide against it. There was no way I would break this kiss just to put out a small flame. My fingers get trapped in his hair and I hope that he wouldn't push me away or anything. I want to make him carry me but decide not to make anything awkward and just allow things to unfold as they would.

[Eric Sutton]

Her lips part and I slip my tongue into her mouth, brushing teeth and the inside of her cheek. Sierra's arms wrap around my neck and run through my hair and I free a hand from her waist to punch the tip of the candle between my thumb and forefinger, the light going out. I move her back against the counter, my body pressing agaisnt hers. My mind goes to the fact that we were alone, my room was right down the hall. No. I wouldn't try to get into her pants, I didn't want to break her trust like that, I wouldn't.

[Sierra Eckler]

I meet Eric's tongue in the middle after a second before running a hand down his chest. The light goes out and I'm soon pushed against the counter and I begin to mess with the hem of his shirt. I slowly break the kiss and look up at him, my hands sliding under his shirt. The silence lasts between us for a while before I finally think of something to say. "How would you feel if we did...you know," I say, looking at him before looking down. I didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable but I needed him to know he was forgiven.

[Eric Sutton]

Her tongue meets mine, her hand trailing down my chest. I open my eyes with a frown as Sierra breaks the kiss, though a blush crosses my face as her hands slip under my shirt. I absently hope she doesn't think I'm fat- I wasn't exactly the skinniest guy ever, but I wasn't really large, either. The silence stretches for a while and I fight to think of something to say before she finally speaks and I freeze, surprise on my face. "W-what?" I stutter dumbly, not sure if I completely understood what Sierra was getting at. I thought I did, but I didn't want to assume anything and make myself look like a pervert.
