Henri laughed as Eittie pecked him, his deep voice rasped with exhaustion as he listened and mumbled something about not picking on American food. Any teasing had temporarily slipped his mind when the young woman slipped away from him with confidence. He propped his chin on his hand to watch her before getting up, leaning in the doorway of the bathroom with a soft smile to his lips as she spoke about them stopping at the store. “You gonna ride in the cart while we go through Target?” Henri didn’t want to think about her leaving, simply choosing to focus on the next little adventure as he pulled one of his coats around her, “Just in case the pants fall down, yeah?” With a wink he bent down and kissed her. “Breakfast, shopping, and a very naked nap…”
Outlining their day he tugged on her fingers and led her out to his car, opening the passenger door before slipping around. As soon as they were en route to Dunkies his hand reached over and found hers. “Are we eating in or do you want to take it to go? I’m not sure we can take the drinks into Target because they have Starbucks in there.” He crinkled his nose in disgust, a true Bostonian refused to touch the brand, loyal to Dunkin. His eyes flitted to Eittie’s face, making his smile grow wider as he couldn’t help but think she looked so cute swimming in his clothes.
As he pulled the coat around her, Eittie grinned and pulled the drawstring on the sweats as tight as she could and tied them in a neat bow, jumping up and down a moment to see if they would fall. ‘If I ride in the cart then I can’t kiss you when I want and that’s a sacrifice I’m not willing to make.’ Grabbing her phone and wallet as they headed out of his place, squinting a little painfully in the light, Eittie’s hand slipped unconsciously into his after she had buckled herself in. ‘Why don’t we get take out and you can take me to one of your favourite local spots? This is only my second time in Boston and both times I’ve seen more of your bed than anywhere else.’ Meeting his eyes with a cheeky grin, she squeezed his fingers a bit. ‘Unless Dunkies IS your favourite spot? Then we can take a selfie in the carpark as a first date keepsake...’
The whole time he was at the window ordering, Eittie’s mouth was open, amazed at the seemingly gibberish language he was talking with the server, only to have it said back to him that somehow led to them having amazing smelling food and drinks carefully stacked up on Eittie’s lap. Holding the bag with her hand, she stuck her nose into it and took a deep breath. ‘Do I get a bite of everything?’ When they had pulled up, she unbuckled herself and reached in, curiously pulling things out and turning them over in her hands, looking up at him as she handed one over before sticking her straw in her drink. ‘So... do you have any games coming up in DC?’
