It was always such a pleasure to see James being himself. Freya couldn't help but smile back towards him when he did, her smile growing as he accepted her offer. She wasn't sure exactly yet what he had said yes to, but it wouldn't be too long before she would find out. Besides, she didn't want to press the request and have him become uncomfortable. Taking the hand he offered, she pulled herself up and straightened her clothes out. Turning to help him gather the sheets, she giggled as he was already on top of it. Even though they were out having a wonderful evening together, old habits were indeed hard to break. 

Slipping her hand into his as they made their way back towards the car, she slid inside, thankful for the seat warmers in the car on her legs and back. Leaning back, she waited for James to get inside before they held hands on the drive back towards the university dorms. The ride back felt shorter than the ride to get to their destinations, but it always seemed to be the case with car rides to places you haven't yet been before. She was glad for the music, but it made her a little tired since she was getting warmed up. Giving a small yawn as they parked, she got out of the car with James' assistance and headed up the stairs towards their floor. 

Their evening hot chocolate was so good! Spending time with James always feels nice. Sitting down next to James after she took off her shoes, she smiled towards him. Freya sat a little bit away from him, afraid she might be crowding a little. She already knew he would agree to drinking hot chocolate - it was always a great way to wind down in the evening. Holding her mug, she nodded, finding James' sudden shyness adorable. [color=0072bc][b]"Of course I had a good time, silly. Would I have asked to spend more time with you if I didn't?"[/b][/color] She teased, sticking her tongue out towards him. Though, she herself found her shyness creeping up on her. [color=0072bc][b]"Did...you have fun tonight? I know we just...y-you know. But, still!"[/b][/color] Her eyes didn't really make contact with him, and as she shivered at the slight breeze running through the apartment, she stood up and turned his thermostat up just a few degrees. Returning to her seat, she wasn't really hearing the movie going on in the background. [color=0072bc][b]"James?"[/b][/color] She began, lightly drumming her fingers against the cup.

[color=0072bc][b]"Have you...done that before? The...kissing thing?"[/b][/color]

Moments later, the doorbell rung out through James' apartment, causing Freya to jump slightly. Had he been expecting someone and not told her? He wouldn't...do that. Maybe it was just Annie coming by to check up on them. But it was a late hour...

When James did answer the door, the dark haired woman with blonde bangs from James' culinary class that greeted him in the store a few weeks ago stood there, leaning against the door and looking more than a little unstable. [color=f7941d][b]"James~! Baby!"[/b][/color] She shrilled, throwing herself forward around the man's neck. [color=f7941d][b]"You've been ignoring me~ Let me come in, we can talk for a lil, yeah?"[/b][/color] Giggling, her face was a bit pink, and her breath smelled faintly as if she had been drinking, but like she had tried to cover it up with breath mints or something. [color=f7941d][b]"Let's talk recipes, I think I've got one that will make you just fall in love~" [/b][/color]
