Tony had his hand around Lorelei's waist as they walked back to his apartment. The night was damp and cold so Lorelei was leaning in close to Tony. Her arm was slipped through one of Tony's coat sleeves. Her head was leaned on his shoulder, and her arm was around his waist as well.
"I've got work at eight so I'll have to go home early," Lorelei said.
"Then don't go home. Stay the night at my place. I'll even drive you to work," Tony said.
"What'll I get if I do stay?" Lorelei asked.
"What do you want?" Tony asked.
Lorelei smiled. "Shoes," She said.
Tony slipped out of his coat and handed it to her. She slipped both her arms into his coat and wrapped herself up in it. He stood in front of her and looked into her eyes. "You'll have to work for them," He said touching her cheek.
Lorelei kissed his on the cheek. "I can do that," She said.

Lorelei woke up. It was in the later half of six in the morning. She slipped out of the bed and wandered to the bathroom. She turned on the shower and got in.
The water woke Lorelei up. All the products Tony had in the shower were masculine. Lorelei used as little as possible to keep herself from smelling like Tony.
Lorelei finished with her shower and stepped out and wrapped a towel around herself. Tony was laying on the bed with his eyes closed. Lorelei changed into the orange dress he bought her the day before. She looked in the mirror and smiled. It was such a pretty dress. Behind her she saw Tony sitting up and wiping his eyes. Lorelei turned around and smiled at him.
"Good morning!" She said.
Tony yawned and wiped some more sleep from his eyes. "Morning," He said getting out of bed.
"Do you want me to make you breakfast?" Lorelei asked.
"No, we'll just pick something up," Tony said stretching. He smiled as he noticed what dress she was wearing. "I really love that on you."
"It was such a nice gift," Lorelei said sitting down on the bed beside him.
"I'm glad you like it," Tony said.
Lorelei kissed Tony quickly before standing up again and twirling. "I shouldn't be this happy this early in the morning, but I'm absolutely ecstatic," She said.
Tony smiled and stood up. He went to his dresser and got some underwear out. "It's cute," He said before he opened his closet door. He pulled out a suit and got dressed.
"Do you want some coffee or tea?" Lorelei asked.
Tony smiled and went into the bathroom. He came out after a few minutes with a toothpaste stain on his jacket. He looked at Lorelei and shook his head. "I'm a mess," He said.
Lorelei smiled and pulled the handkerchief from his jacket pocket. She licked it and dabbed his coat until the stain was gone.
Tony put his arms around Lorelei's waist and pulled her closer. He leaned down to kiss her, but she put the kerchief to his lips. He smiled and pushed it out of the way. Lorelei giggled as their lips touched softly. She tugged gently on his tie and kissed him with a little more feeling.
Tony tried to end their kiss, but Lorelei craned her neck to keep their lips together until he had to step back to break their kiss. He was smiling at her. "Mmm, well, if you're all ready let's go to breakfast," Tony said smiling.
Lorelei took his hand and kissed him on the cheek. "Let's go," She said.

The breakfasts were cold, but Lorelei didn't mind in the least. She ate her food quickly. The clock on the wall read seven thirty.
"When do you need to get to work?" Tony asked noticing Lorelei's eyes on the clock.
"Eight," She replied going back to her food and quickly finishing it.
Tony smiled. "Then we have some time to talk," He said. "Can you tell me some things about you?"
Lorelei shrugged. "There's not much to tell," She said.
"Anything. Where did you go to school?" Tony said resting his head on his hand.
"I was home schooled," Lorelei said glancing back at the clock.
"What did you parents do?" Tony asked.
Lorelei picked up her fork and dragged it around her plate. "My mother was a tailor. She..."
"Sewed your new blue jeans?" Tony commented rolling his eyes.
Lorelei shook her head slowly. "No, she was a tailor, a very specialized tailor mind you," She said.
"What about your father? And if you say he was a gambling man I'll loose my shit," Tony said.
"No, my father never gambled or drank. He was a preacher," Lorelei said.
"He never drank?"
"Not a drop in his whole life."
"What a good man," Tony commented.
"He was a bag of shit," Lorelei said quietly, "to my mother and me and especially to my sister..."
Tony stared at her as he tried to decide whether it would be all right to probe for more information. He decided that it would be best to drop the subject.
"What made you want to be a model?" He asked.
"I have no real schooling so it's about all I'm qualified for," Lorelei replied.
Tony took a sip of his water. He smiled. "You'll make an excellent model, I'm sure," He said.
Lorelei laughed slightly. "My portfolio makes it look like I will, but I really don't know what I'm doing," She said.
"How hard can it be?" Tony asked. "You just sit there and look pretty with clothing on."
"I'm pretty sure it's more than that," Lorelei said glancing back at the clock.
Tony gestured for a waitress to bring him his check.
"Maybe there is, but I've got a feeling you'll be a very good model," Tony said as he paid his check.
Lorelei and Tony stood up, and walked out of the restaurant. They both got into Tony's car. He drove them to the modeling agency that Lorelei was at the day before.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't," Tony called as Lorelei climbed out of the passenger side of his car.
Lorelei rolled her eyes and blew him a kiss.

"I'll pick you up some time around five or six. We'll go and get some dinner then we'll go shoe shopping."
