Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 9:52:59 PM)
(hehe, he had a blindfold for Luci so she wouldn't realize where they were heading since he wanted it to be a suprise)

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 9:53:13 PM)
(alright, pick her up and see if you can convince her)

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 9:53:23 PM)
(hehe)

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 9:53:40 PM)
*calls from in front of her work again*

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 9:53:57 PM)
::Luci answers with her usual...:: Oui?

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 9:54:41 PM)
*the smile in his voice is quite evident* I was finally able to get some time off of work, Mlle, would you grace me with your presence this evening?

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 9:55:50 PM)
::He can hear her tone change, much less stressed and focused, more pleased:: I think I can manage that... shall I show up at your place in a little bit?

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 9:56:43 PM)
*smiles* Well, if you want... otherwise, I was going to take you out for a suprise tonight...

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 9:57:55 PM)
::she paused a moment, then spoke:: A surprise? ::she sounds a bit curious::

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 9:58:36 PM)
Yes my dear, something I know you'll enjoy, just want it to be a nice suprise for you.

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 9:59:40 PM)
::she smiles:: Shall I get home and change quickly then? ::he can hear her moving around in her office::

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:00:25 PM)
Would you like a ride, sweety? I am just here waiting for you, Mlle.

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 10:01:46 PM)
::a pause, then a laugh:: You tricky, tricky man.. I shall be out in a moment. ::she hung up the phone, and indeed she was out in just a moment, wearing a pair of slacks and a sleeveless shirt. She seems more relaxed than she usually is leaving work, and she leans in, giving him a soft, brief kiss:: Bonjour...

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:02:55 PM)
*sighs happily seeing her, wrapping her in a hug and returning the kiss* Ah, aren't you a sight for sore eyes, Mlle... I missed you.

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 10:04:10 PM)
::she wrapped an arm around him, and spoke softly:: Oui, I missed you as well.

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:06:42 PM)
*smiles widely, and helps lead her to the car* Is a suprise all right with you, my sweet?

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 10:08:20 PM)
::she nods:: As long as you don't mind stopping by home so I can feed Duke and change..

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 10:08:29 PM)
::following him and getting into his car::

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:08:48 PM)
*smiles and nods* Of course, my dear... *and hops in as well, driving Luci to her place*

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:10:00 PM)
*pulls into the driveway* Would you like me to wait here, my dear, or come in with you?

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 10:10:14 PM)
::she kept her hand casually on his thigh as they drove and when they got out, she moves to the door, looking to him:: Would you like to wait inside?

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:11:15 PM)
*smiles* i'd love to, my dear.... *and hops out, following her, looking about to see just what the inside of Luci's house looks like*

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:17:03 PM)
(.)

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 10:19:05 PM)
::Duke greets Luci at the door, and she moves to the kitchen to feed him. The place is impeccably clean.. almost obsessively so. It's an odd mix of French and Cajun/voudon furnishings and decorations. A voudon altar is visible in the kitchen. Two separate bedrooms, two separate bathrooms. Both rooms are neatly made up, and nothing appears to be out of place. Luci feeds Duke and comes back, putting her backpack on the couch, before looking to him:: Make yourself at home... I will be out soon.. ::padding off to her bedroom::

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:19:58 PM)
*smiles and takes a seat on the couch in the living room, playing with Duke* All right Mlle, I'll be here...

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 10:20:52 PM)
If you are thirsty, I am sure there is something in the fridge, cher... ::and she drifted off, the sound of the shower going on a few moments later. Duke loved up on the attention::

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:22:06 PM)
*chuckles, and keeps playing the pup, showering him in attention while waiting for Luci to return, suppressing the urge to return the favor from earlier*

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 10:23:45 PM)
::Duke will soak up allllll the attention, as he plays and roughhouses around. The water went off 10 minutes later, and it was really quiet in the house::

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:26:15 PM)
*waits with anticipation to see his lovely date again* Would you like me to make something for you to drink before we go, Mlle?

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 10:27:48 PM)
::he can hear footsteps on the wooden floors, and she calls back:: Are we going somewhere with drinks?

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:28:34 PM)
*smiles* Well, we're gonna be outside for a while, when do you have to be in for work tomorrow?

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 10:31:53 PM)
Mmm, I don't... technically. ::her tone alone sounds mischevious, as she moves back out, hair still drying in soft ringlets, light makeup reapplied, a devilishly cute sundress, tied behind her neck, and a pair of sandals. She managed to look casual... but she'd fit in in a moderately nice restaurant too, classy and elegant.:: Outside... do I need to change into something more.. casual? Like jeans?

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:33:21 PM)
*smiles* You look lovely my dear.... Don't worry, we won't be out in tall grass or anything, that would be all right.

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 10:34:25 PM)
::she grins:: Merci... Do -you- need a drink before we go out?

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:35:27 PM)
*smiles mischeviously* As wonderful as you look, Mlle, you're intoxicating enough just to be around.

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 10:36:32 PM)
::a faint pink blush on her cheeks, and she leaned in, kissing his cheek:: The peacock again... Shall we?

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:37:19 PM)
*smiles stands, hugging her close* Mmm, yes please, Mlle... though... If you really want to enjoy the suprise...

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 10:39:08 PM)
::she looks to him, raising an eyebrow::

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:40:09 PM)
*smiles, and pulls a blindfold out of his pocket* Would you allow me to completely suprise you, Mlle?

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 10:44:38 PM)
::she blinks to the blindfold, and watches him a moment:: I will.... ::smiling, she moved out the door to lock up first, then closed her eyes for him::

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:46:58 PM)
*smiles, and leads her to the car, settling her in before placing the blindfold around her eyes* Now, just relax, and no peeking Mlle, wouldn't want to ruin things...

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 10:47:14 PM)
::she smiles:: Ruin other things?

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:48:35 PM)
*smiles, and reaches over while driving, patting her thigh* I just want things to be perfect tonight, Mlle...

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 10:51:11 PM)
::she jumped just a bit, as he touched her, missing her sight already, but she settled down immediately after, and she smiles:: I'm sure they will be... I'm not worried.

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:52:27 PM)
*smiles, and finally stops the car, putting it into park, and with warmth in his voice* We're here, Mlle...

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 10:52:57 PM)
::she grins: I wait with bated breath, oui?

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:54:13 PM)
*chuckles, and helps her out of the car, getting something out of the trunk, and leading her along what sounds and feels like a gravelly road for a few steps before her steps creak lightly on wood* You can remove your blindfold, my dear...

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 10:56:01 PM)
::She walks with him, her head is tilting occasionally, as though she's listening, and she walks with him, easily, listening to his footsteps, he can see her facial expressions change a little as she hears the changes, and she smiles softly, hands lifting to untie the blindfold::

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 10:58:12 PM)
*before her is a beautifully placid lake, ringed by trees, they're on the pier with a nice little pontoon boat, just something simple but with a blanket already layed on it, with a few candles here and there already set up* I thought a nice dinner out here would be enjoyable, Mlle...

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 11:00:48 PM)
::she blinks, and smiles softly, obviously touched by the careful planning and she smiles:: This sounds like a lovely evening already.. ::she leans into him and kisses his cheek::

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 11:02:08 PM)
*smiles and hugs her close* I just thought you could use some time away from work... come, lets cast off, Mlle.. *offers her his hand to lead her to the boat*

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 11:04:41 PM)
::she smiles and slips her hand into his, squeezing lightly, looking at the boat, studying it and his preparations, as she lets him lead her, looking back to him, studying him for a few moments now::

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 11:07:52 PM)
*is smiling happily, what he had taken out of the trunk was a wicker basket, the traditional picnic basket, and after leading her onto the pontoon boat, he unties the line, hopping onto it and helping pole it out into slightly deeper water. The candles are unlit, but there is a thick blanket on the deck already, perfect for lounging on, and he sets the basket on it, smling at her* A good suprise, Mlle?

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 11:11:18 PM)
::she smiled to him, his own happiness was infectious, obviously, and her hair was slowly drying in the wind, as she stepped in, looking around, and she goes to the deck, sitting with her long legs in front of her, crossed. Leaning forward she began to undo her sandals:: This is a wonderful surprise.. ::she grins back to him:: You are... very sneaky.

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 11:12:07 PM)
*he winks* I thought getting you away from it all would be a nice treat... Would you like to have a bite to eat then my dear?

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 11:15:31 PM)
::she smiles:: Only when you can join me... ::she leans back, lying down on the blanket, sprawled comfortable, and she looks behind her, watching him still, relaxing. Amazingly, she already looks as relaxed as she can, sunkissed skin, she looked well-rested and calm, happy::

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 11:17:27 PM)
*smiles, and slips down onto the blanket, having lit one of the anti-mosquito candle thingies, and opens up the basket, taking out the plates and silverware, dishing out the ravioli she seemed to enjoy soo much the other night* And a glass of wine for you as well, Mlle?

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 11:20:03 PM)
::she smiles and peeks into the basket, nodding:: Oui, si vous plait. I would like that very much... mmmmm. ::she grins:: Je t'adore your pasta, cher...

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 11:22:13 PM)
*bows his head and winks* And I'll make it for you whenever you wish, my dear... *opens a bottle of champaigne of all things, pouring two glasses of it* You know, you look so majestic with that backdrop, Mlle.

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 11:24:32 PM)
::she laughs:: Taylor, mon ange... you spoil me waaay too much. I really will turn into a peacock. ::she smiles, noting the champagne, and she looks to him, speaking quite seriously:: You are the sweetest man... ::fingers trailing along his jaw lightly, as she leans in, kissing him softly:: Merci... ::whispering against his lips::

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 11:28:59 PM)
*sighs happily, kissing her lightly but hungrily, leaning his forehead forward to rest against hers* It's my pleasure, my sweet.

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 11:31:31 PM)
::she smiles:: I must question your pleasures one of these days, oui.. ::as she looks to him, green eyes watching his, she leans in, kissing him again, softly, her arms wrapping around him, that his hands are too busy holding champagne glasses, she takes advantage of, sliding her hands over him, and leaning in, deepening the kiss::

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 11:35:29 PM)
*smiles, nibbling along Luci's lower lip, a slight moan escaping his lips from her caresses*

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 11:37:25 PM)
::gently biting his lower lip, sucking just a little, dragging her teeth very lightly over his lip, before she leans in, kissing him again. Her hands continued to explore over him, just teasing here and there, before she pulled back a little, eyes watching him::

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 11:39:38 PM)
*blinks, sighing and trying to catch his breath, he hands her one of the glasses* Ahem... um... what were we talking about Mlle?

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 11:42:38 PM)
You being a very sweet man. ::she smiles and accepts her glass, clinking it lightly against his::

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 11:45:40 PM)
*smiles, and blushes lightly, shaking his head slightly to try and clear his thoughts, sipping his glass* Well, I just thought such a vision of beauty should be properly taken care of.

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 11:51:26 PM)
::she blushes lightly again, looking to him, as she sips her champagne, obviously enjoying it:: Again.. I will be a peacock... I feel the tattoo taking over already.. ::she moves over, food forgotten for now, as she leans in, resting her head against his shoulder, watching the water, the sky::

Taylor Valos (Jul 5, 2010 11:52:17 PM)
*smiles, and runs a hand along her back, tracing her spine with a fingertip, watching the setting sun with her* It's beautiful, isn't it?

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 5, 2010 11:54:33 PM)
::she shivered as he caressed her bare skin, and she nodded, sipping away happily:: Oui, it's beautiful... this was a lovely idea... no one here... no one bothering us... ::she leaned in, kissing his neck lightly::
