Colleen moved to lie on the couch, an amused smile having made it's way onto her face. "Mornin' Nate." See always tried to avoid being too close to an area were people were cooking, since she'd always been a terrible cook and had bad luck in the kitchen. I'd find a way to screw up cereal if I tried...Actually, I have done that. A soft chuckle escaped her. An expression of confusion crossed her face as she lifted herself up on her elbows, peering over the couch. "Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is-" Colleen scrunched up her face in confusion, attempting to pronounce the unknown dish. "Torterlinni?"

Derrik chuckled softly at Lila's input. "Is that why I didn't get a hug? You do not feel tall enough for 'Derrik Jiang in: Amazon Spring Break'? I am not sure I meet the Dear Penthouse minimum requirements without at least one more tackle." Derrik teased as he always did, oblivious to Lila's crush. Had someone told him, he likely wouldn't believe it. Derrik found the bag of frozen, stuffed tortellini and presented it with all the flair of pulling a rabbit out of a hat. "I think I can handle it, Li. But if you really would like to help, perhaps a salad? What is tortellini! Colonel, I'm shocked at you. Pasta modeled after the very navel of Aphrodite herself, and you ask me 'What is tortellini?' A shame I am too lazy to make it fresh. Maybe another time." He set about preparing the pasta... cooking just did not seem like the right term for using such a lazy frozen shortcut.

Nathan watched Derrik with a seductive look on his face. It was some what masked, but a bit of it showed, only enough that it would only appear as a sarcastic look. Nathan began to run the facts through his head. "Wait. He's one of my best friends. And he's certainly my best guy friend. Well, if you could say that. And he was obviously straight as a board. Well, flirting doesn't hurt anyone, just me. And I know what I'm getting myself into, so know ones to blame but me when I get hurt. Nathan turned to Lila and Derrik "I'd like to help, too. I think between Lilly's excellent cooking skills, my somewhat, moderate cooking skills, and the ingrediants that Derrik has so graciously provided for us, I believe we can have a wonderful dinner." Nathan opened his phone. "Wait, its only 1. Screw tortellini! Lets go out and get some food!" Nathan said. He pulled out his wallet. "Swiped mummh dearest's credit card on my way out. Well, its not technically swiping when she told me I could keep it, so..." Nathan began to giggle nervously. He forgot that everyone thought he was here on his mothers free will, since she was the one who bought the house, and not that he ran away because of his mothers choice in a new hubby, her nagging on him about his life style, and judging him because of his medical condition. Nathan tried to sink back into the scenery, but with his friends, it wasn't going to be easy getting off on this one.

"Blah!" I stick my tongue out as far as I could and walked over to the other groceries and finished putting it away and thought carefully. "Seafood salad sound good? And you don't deserve a glomp from meh." I tried to make as less physical contact with him, which wasn't very hard since the kitchen was fairly huge. Nate offered to cook as well and I just nodded my head happily. Three people would make me more comfortable. But than he went off, something about screwing this and buying grub instead.

Colleen's eyebrow rose, as did the corners of her mouth. "Food modeled after Aphrodite's navel? Now you've definitely got my attention." A playful grin pulled at her lips. Turning toward Nate, her head tilted slightly to the right in curiosity. Usually she'd be very curious as to the whole credit-card bit, but with food occupying her mind she could think of little else. Shrugging, albeit somewhat awkwardly due to the fact that her weight was rested on her arms, she opted to lie back down on the couch and go with whatever everyone else chose. Regardless of whether they went out to eat or stayed in, she'd be content. Food's food, after all!

John took annora's hand and walked out with her. He went to his car and started it, when Annora had gotten in the passengers seat. He began towards the mall. "So, what were you planning on getting anyways?" John asked. He pulled out of the drive way and onto the road.

"Damn. So much for my boyish charm. Seafood salad it is, then." Derrik expected an answer like that from Li. In spite of priding himself on looking beneath the surface of the words and actions of others, he had somehow taken hers at face value. It made him comfortable teasing her. Nothing would happen there, he was sure. Turning his attention to Nathan, Derrik folded his arms over his chest, leaned against the counter and crossed his ankles. "I would like to see you try to pull me one inch out of this kitchen and away from scrumptious love goddess navels." His smile widened a fraction, more of a smug little smirk, and he leveled his dark gaze at Nathan. He seemed a bit nervous about the credit card and Derrik idly considered why. Was he embarrassed to have his mother's money yet again involved in all their lives? It was possible.

Annora sighed softly and leaned back against the seat. "Right now... Um. Clothes for me.. A crib. Maybe a stroller. Some paint for the room. Anything else I find I want to buy..." She said softly, her eyes closed. "I knew I shouldn't have told them..." She mumbled to herself tapping her fingers on her knee trying to get a beat for something.

Nathan seized the moment to change the subject he just brought up to the food. "Whatever, I guess it would be good. But, someone's definanlty making food later for dinner. Eating at 1 isn't a dinner. Its late lunch." Nathan said with a humph. He walked over to the freezer and pulled out a box. It read 'garlic bread.' "Isn't torellini italian?" Nathan asked, confused about the modeling after a Greek goddess. Didn't quite make sense to him. He walked over to the conter and tossed the box on it. Ducking down, he searched of a cooking sheet so he could bake the bread. "Like I would even want to touch you, Derrik." Nathan said sarcasticly. After he found one, he stood. In doing so, he brushed up to Derrik quite a bit, which, in turn, caused him to stop thinking about what he was doing and he fell on his back. "Ouch...Damn that hurt." Nathan said as he recollected himself. He grabbed the cooking sheet, whick landed face up, so the bottom only skimmed the floor. Nathan placed the bread on the sheet and divided the pieces evenly before he popped it in the oven and set the timer.

I sigh some more as the two flirt off. I always did fall for the ones that were either too good, or not right. I fixed up the salad, trying to focus my attention away from the two, but my ears peered its way through, not being able to help my self. When I had finished and placed the salad in the fridge, I looked over to how Rick was doing and slightly furrowed my eyebrows. "Ok, you guys either get a room or start cooking before I burn both of ya'll into a crisp due to hunger.
((See you later Cyde xp ))

Derrik was careful not to react at all to Nathan brushing against him. Not that he feared suddenly ravishing his house mate right there in the kitchen; he just preferred giving no sign over a potentially damning one. So it was a surprise to him when Lila told them to get a room, but he took it in stride as an incredibly well aimed joke. Only the slightest twitch of his eyebrows indicated he thought otherwise. "Jealousy doesn't suit a pretty girl like you, Lila. Besides, Nathan here isn't my type." He straightens to offer Nathan a hand up, but he's already regained his feet. "Yes, tortellini is Italian. Venus, then; is that better?"
