#4 of A Twist of Life

Thehin and Dossy are getting to sit down to lunch together for the first time^^

Also we have a guest appearance from the raffle winner, Psi's character Esme the twintailed feline. Psi (aka BHawkes from FA) gave me entire literary freedom with Esme so i made her into a Bronxy waitress.

You too can have the chance to get a guest appearance by donating $5.

Thehin sat across from Dossy in the diner, munching on french fries and watching her chomp on a quarter pound cheeseburger. He leaned over and took a sip of his coke, thinking back to that kiss. His mind had just cleared out like someone had erased everything on a dry erase board. Her lips had stuck to his own and her arms had tightened around his neck, pulling her even closer to him. "A-are you ok?" Dossy asked sheepishly. Thehin grinned as he turned his focus back to her. She was still blushing. She hadnt stopped since she had broken the kiss. To reassure her, he slid one caring paw over the table and wrapped it around her own. "I am fine, what about you?" he asked, answering her question with his own. She just nodded and took another bite of her burger. He drew little circles across the back of her paw with the pad of his thumb. Her body relaxed a little bit physically. "Didn't even ask if you had a girlfriend before i kissed you..." Dossy pouted quietly. This made Thehin chuckle. "D, you know me better than most people who have called me friend on campus." he assured her. "You know that I don't have a girlfriend." Thehin called the waitress over to the table. "Hello, can we have two ice cream sundays...?" he asked as he read the waitresses nametag. "Esme." The waitress smacked on a piece of faded gum and nodded. "So yas want cherreh or banyana on dat?" her brooklyn accent was heavy. Both of her tails twitched back and forth, kind of undulating like the wake of a cruise ship. "I would like some bananna in mine please." Dossy said with a smile. Esme took out her pin and jotted down a note. "And whats about youse there misteh stripes?" she asked. "Oh, nothing else on mine please." Thehin replied. "Oight, so I's gots a Banyana sundeh and a regulah sundeh, any poie with that dyarlins?" Esme asked, her accent melting over the words like the cheese on Dossy's burger. "Oh yes please, I would love some peach pie if you have it." Dossy piped in with all of the cheer of someone looking so innocent. Esme raised an eyebrow in amusement and walked back behind the diner counter to prepare the sundaes. Thehin looked across the table to Dossy and squeezed her paw gently. Her cheeks worked vigorously as she chewed the rest of her hamburger and swallowed. "I like it here, its so calm and friendly." she chirped, some of her shyness melting away like ice. He smiled and nodded. "When we get our sundaes and your pie, do you wanna get to your new apartment?" he asked curiously. He was actually pretty anxious to get alone with her, though he couldnt figure out why for certain. "S-sure Theh, we can go after we get the dessert if you want." Dossy replied sheepishly. She had a dreamy look in her eyes as she stared at him. It was strangely satisfying. While she picked a strip of lettuce from her teeth, Esme walked up with the sundaes in small plastic cups and a styrofoam container with peach written across the top. "Here ya goes dyarlins. Will thyere be anyting else for yas?" Esme asked. Thehin shook his head and took the check from her, pulling his wallet out of his pocket and handing a twenty and a five to her. "Would ya like your change byack?" she asked. "No thank you, you keep the rest as a tip." he replied as he stuffed his wallet back in his pocket and grabbed his bag. "Much appreciated, you twos has a noice day now." Esme said as she walked away to the cash register. Dossy took a big slurp of her drink before she grabbed her sundae and her pie, then slid out of the booth and stuck her paw into Thehin's. Together the two of them walked out the diner door and climbed into her Jeep. ******************* Walking up to the apartment door, Dossy unlocked it and with a flourish said, "Lets see what we have here." As the door slowly swung open, the smell of day old paint and carpet cleaner rolled out over them both. Dossy stood in the doorway and nodded her approval as Thehin wrinkled his nose and looked over her shoulder at the beige walls and barren marroon floors. "That smell is very... strong." he replied as it made his head fuzzy for a second. Dossy walked in the door and spun around slowly, looking at everything. A small hallway lead to the two bedrooms and the bathroom between them. A fair sized kitchen with a breakfast nook opened up from the west wall of the living room. A tiny laundry room was open on the corner of the north wall. A new ceiling fan with the plastic still on the blades hung from the living room ceiling. "I like it, but what do you think?" Dossy asked as she walked towards the hallway. Thehin wandered to the kitchen and opened a cabinet. A little packet marked refreshner sat in the corner on one of the shelves. "It is a nice place for sure. A lot for one person though." he replied thoughtfully. He walked back around the corner into the living room. Dossy's tail swayed from one of the bedroom doors, so he walked over and looked over her shoulder. The bedroom had a light blue carpeting in it with a walk-in closet set into the wall shared with the bathroom. Instead of a central light, there were light bars set into the corners of the ceiling. The walls were a sterile white. "W-well... I was... was kind of hoping you might think about.. maybe.. moving in with... me..." Dossy said starting out in a normal tone and ending in a whisper. Thehin took a step back and blinked. He thought about it and remained quiet while they looked into the bathroom. A shower/tub combonation was set against one wall and the sink and toilet were facing it from the opposite wall, a small window with clouded glass was set in the furthest wall. "You really want me to do that?" Thehin asked quietly, gently turning her around to face him. Dossy slowly nodded and raised her thumbs to her mouth and gently nibbled her claws as she leaned against him and rested her head on his shoulder. "Yes please..." she whispered. He slid his arms around her shoulders and pulled her back a little. She looked up into his eyes. He smiled and then gave her a small nod.
