_Saturday_
A bouquet of bright red roses in his hand; Henry stepped up to Jo's front door, and rung the doorbell.
-They hadn't planned on doing anything today(especially not before noon: Jo loves her sleep), but he woke up and simply felt the need the be close to her. -Sleeping alone last night perhaps did the trick- he thought; listening to the door's locks click.
Quickly adjusting his necktie; he smoothed out his crisp black blazer, and peered up to meet her gaze. "Hi," they both spoke; Henry's face growing noticeably red at how she openly gawked at him. "For you," he babbled; trying to maintain his normal, suave approach while looking into her big, lively, brown eyes. -He could practically see the sparks flying between them. "Thank you.. Want to come in?" She asked; biting her lip, (and driving him crazy). "Certainly," he replied; flashing her a charming grin, and stepping inside. Jo's feet remaining planted near the door:Henry practically ran into her; licking his lips at the way her body hugged his so tightly. "New cologne?" She questioned; reaching over, and shutting the door behind him. "It's the aftershave," he smiled; shutting his eyes as she ran a cool hand along his freshly shaven jaw, then down his torso. "I don't know why you came.." She began; sliding his blazer off of his shoulders. "..but I hope you plan on staying a while," she finished; Henry placing his coat around her rather than let it fall to the floor. "I'll stay as long as you'd like me to," he smiled; her delicate, yet sensual touch setting his skin on fire as she groped his muscular arms. "..Though I dressed up because I thought you might let me take you out this morning. Have you had breakfast?" he asked. "No, I haven't.. I um.. Sorry," she blushed. "It's quite alright. I like a woman who takes control," he replied; stepping forward, and reaching up to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Just give me a few minutes," she said.

_Taking a seat across from Jo at their booth; Henry took his menu from their waiter, and ordered his drink-all while failing to divert his attention away from his date.
"Can you stop that? Please?" She blushed; nervously peering over at their waiter as he walked away. "Stop what?" Henry played; reaching across the table, and grasping her hand. "By the way, I've never seen you in a dress before-you look lovely," he mentioned. "Thank you," she responded; her cheeks growing red hot once again as he rose her hand towards his lips, and planted a soft kiss atop it.
-She appreciated the lengths he was going to for the sake of being more gentlemanly,(wearing a suit, buying her flowers, taking her to breakfast,etc..)yet every time she let her mind wander just a bit, all she pictured was being able to rip that damned suit off. "So how are you? My apologies if I disturbed your beauty sleep," He smiled. "It's okay. I'm good. You?" she replied; about ready to flip the table over and lay one hell of a kiss on his lips. "Frightened. You look as if you're ready to attack me," he chuckled; Jo rolling her eyes, and greeting their waiter as he returned with their cups of freshly brewed tea.
