Elowen

Failed yoga , pancakes and banter

Morning :

' bye ' I coo to him ever though he's sleeping. I kiss his forehead before quietly tiptoeing out but as I reach the door i hear him mumble 'hey where are you going '
' I'm just meeting one of my friends ' I explain
' at 8AM ?' He questions suspiciously
' is that a yoga mat ?' He says sitting up slowly and eyeing me up and down
' are you going to yoga ?!' He says chuckling
' I promised I'd meet my friend and we'd do a class together ' I say quickly defending myself
' what and you just happened to have the whole attire for this one class your attending' he says gesturing to my yoga leggings and patterned tshirt .
' fine - I do yoga - sue me ' I say holding my hands up .
' no no I wasn't judging you - I thinks its really cute actually ' he shrugs snuggling back down into the covers . I roll my eyes
'Yeah anyway I'm going to be back in a bit - but , help yourself to breakfast and , you know - shower if you like ' I shrug before leaving the room .
'Wait ' he calls from the bedroom and I roll my eyes 'shhhh you'll wake up Satan !' I say gesturing to the room of my resentful roommate .
' right - sorry ' he whispers smiling apologetically emerging from behind the door in nothing but his boxers .I'm about to ask what it is he wants , feeling very aware I was running late and trust me despite their chill reputation yogis wait for nobody . It's in this moment that he envelops me with his arms , wrapping them around my waist and leaning down to give me a long and lingering kiss which sends my knees funny and makes my very limited time stand still for just a moment .
' thank you for last night ' he mumbles into the skin on my neck , breathing on where I'm sure a few hickeys still remain .
' I love you ' he says quietly , pecking my lips affectionately just a moment longer
' I love you more ' I say soppily unable to stop myself grinning as I basically collapse into his chest , wrapping my arms around his shoulders and holding him tight , as if I was terrified this moment would end . As if he would some how disappear .
' errr Lo ' he whispers in my ear after some time has passed
' hmmm ' I sigh lapping up his scent like he's my very own oxygen .
' you have to go remember ?' He chuckles , lightly grasping my shoulders and pushing me away .
' right - I mean - yoga . You're right ' I stutter
' but on the other hand - I'm going to be late , so is it really worth me going ?' I say trying to talk myself out of leaving him . He smiles , catching onto what I'm insinuating .
' I mean if your late - then you've basically already missed it ' he shrugs once again bringing me closer to him .
' exactly - and there's nothing worse than disrupting the zen of an entire yoga class by rolling up late ' I sigh 'guess I'll just have to stay with you '
'Guess so ' he murmurs flashing me a playful smile 'what a pity '
' yup ' I sigh dramatically 'whatever will we do now ?' I say dramatically slumping my shoulders like a restless child . A low chuckle escapes his chest and rolls from between his soft lips as he abruptly scoops me up with one hand supporting under my knees and one arm behind my back . I'm about to kick and scream when I remember my sleeping roommate only a door away so I try to stifle my giddy laughter as he carries me back to bed , tossing me on the already messed up duvet .
' you bully !' I exclaim jokingly , feeling my body sink into the mattress , my hair fanned in every direction across the white sheets 'taking advantage of the vulnerable like that - why don't you pick on someone your own size?' I tease
He smirks ' because your far more entertaining ' he says slowly leaning down lie next to me .
' oh I see - watching me powerless is funny to you is it ?' I whisper giggling , and turning my head to see his shining blue eyes gazing over my features with adoration , which only made my smile wider and my heart beat faster.
' yup - hilarious ' he murmurs biting his lip - waiting for me to make a move on him . But I don't . He rolls his eyes and leans forwards to reach my lips with his own planting a long lingering kiss on them .
' I love you - you idiot ' he chuckles against my mouth.
'I love you more - you twisted bully '
' hmmm ' he says a soft smile playing at his lips as he encircles me with his arms and nuzzles into my neck .
'How do you smell so good ?' He mutters quietly after a moment of tender embrace
' I don't know - however you Daniel do not  - go and shower ' I joke pushing his head away from me . He laughs and sits up
' I'll shower - if you join me '
' not a chance smith - I share that shower with my room mate ' I remind him .
' party pooper '
' pervert '
' I'm not a pervert - I just like it when your naked ' he says making me burst out laughing .
' I like it when your showered so we can go and do stuff together '
' like what ?'
' like - I don't know - go and get breakfast ' I say batting my lashes hopefully .
' ugh fine - give me 5 minutes ' he says sitting up and swinging his legs off the edge of the bed . I grin victoriously and wait until he's left the room before quickly changing my attire from 'yogi' to a casual tshirt and jeans . Within 5 minutes he's back - dressed and smelling of mint and my mango soap .
' ready ?' He asks pulling on his left shoe .
' yup - and errr , can we get pancakes ?'
' well - I suppose since its you ' he says rolling his eyes and shooting me a sweet smile . We decide to walk to the pancake house about 6 or 7 streets away . The skies are blue and it's sunny despite the air being bitterly cold . I pull on my jacket trying to get it closer around my freezing torso .
' cold ?'
' a little ' I shrug with a sheepish smile . He hands me his scarf and I thank him - even though we're fast approaching the restaurant and we wouldn't be outside for much longer . When we arrive we are seated promptly by the rather bored looking waitress , it must always be quiet on Saturday mornings . I order coffee and then grow indecisive about my food order .
' you love blueberry pancakes ' he says 'just get them '
' no ! What if I die tomorrow and I haven't tried anything new of this menu '
' are you planning on dying tomorrow ?' He asks an amused smile tugging at the corner of his lips
' well no - but nobody really plans accidental deaths Daniel - God ' I say rolling my eyes
' fine then , order something else '
' but if I order something else then how will I know that I will like it when all I ever order is blueberry pancakes '
He sighs ' you have such a first world problem here - tell you what - I'll order blueberry pancakes , you order whatever it is you want to try and if you hate it , we can swap '
' good idea ' I say satisfied with his solution .
It's then we hear the door swing open through the relatively quiet restaurant and dans face falls dramatically .
' DANIEL ' I hear a familiar voice yell and I turn around to see Kyle with his arms outstretched and a grin accord his face running towards our table .
' oh god ' he mutters .
' hi dan ! Hiiiii - it's Lo right ?' He says grinning at me and raising his eyebrows suggestively at Dan .
' yeah hi ! It's good to see you again ' I say politely. I don't understand why Dan looks so mortified - was he embarrassed of me or something ?
' what are you doing here ?' He says clearly a little agitated .
' oh we were just on our way to see you actually - but then we got hungry ' he explains
' we ?' Dan says confused .
' IS THAT DANIEL ?' I hear another voice say loudly from the same entrance Kyle just walked through .
' oh Jesus ' Dan says practically face palming .
' yep and he's with his Lady friend !' Kyle says loudly pointing dramatically at me .
I turn around to see will and also woody walking towards our table .
' well well well what have we here Daniel ?' Says will teasingly giving me a large smile
' it's Elowen isn't it ? So nice to see you again - Dan hasn't shut up about you since the gig - we were starting to wonder when we'd get to see you again '
Dan goes bright red - and I suddenly realise it's not me he's embarrassed about but the endless embarrassment his friends had the capacity to cause him on our date - and that excited me way more than it should have .
' yeah me too - it's almost like he doesn't want me to get to know you or something !' I say wriggling my eyebrows at Dan and sliding up to the edge of the booth
' please - won't you join us - we've only just ordered so -' 
' well we'd love to !' Kyle says taking a seat next to me .
' move up Dan ' says will pushing him towards the wall of the booth and he looks more and more agitated at the situation .
This was going to be fun .
