Welcome to Gaia! ::

She said it.

There. Done. She said it.

She really said it. Heidi was so giddy right now. She wanted to get up and do something, and she very nearly did until Tuck suddenly stepped up to her and coaxed into lying down. Her face flushed hotly as she looked up at her boyfriend with a look of surprise. Her smile returned when he said he loved her again.

"I love you."

Yes. She loved him. She was madly in love with him. Heidi returned the affection she was being given until he asked what she wanted to do.

Her breath caught in her throat at first. She giggled helplessly, her usual response to being caught off guard. Heidi did vaguely recall a time where she had asked him to choose between sex and food.

Yes, she did remember his answer.

Heidi cleared her throat, still blushing. Her hands had moved to lay on the bed at either side of her head, smartly not touching Tuck except where he was already touching her. She smiled shyly. "I, um.." She did want to go to dinner. Heidi had had plans of going to this nice restaurant with her boyfriend and telling him she loved him and would always love him and enjoy a romantic evening with him, even perhaps a walk through the city at night, before finally returning to the hotel to continue the night in the privacy of their room..but...those plans were kind of changed now that they'd just gone and said it.

"I..I don't want to fool around...er..well..I do but I..don't...I don't really know.." how to put this delicately. Heidi sat up enough to support herself on her elbows. "Don't you want to go to dinner? You're dressed so--" hot oh my god this is my boyfriend "--nice and..I got that dress..."

Heidi was torn. Heidi would be happy with any decision they made, she really would, she was just happy being with Tuck. But what if he was disappointed? "Aren't you hungry?" Make him make the decision. Yes. This was her plan.

Heidi swallowed and waited with bated breath for Tuck's decision, looking up at him with a mixture of excitement and shyness. This trip was for him, as she'd shown earlier she really had no problem with changing plans at all, and if they missed their reservation they could always find another solution to dinner.

Her breath finally escaped her in a giggle as he kissed her collarbone, his touch giving her goosebumps and making her shiver pleasantly. It was almost disappointing that that was all she was getting.

She was patient.

"All I've got left to put on is uh...everything.." Heidi shrugged, smiling up at Tuck. When he asked for a kiss she stood, straightened out her robe to make sure everything was covered, and made grabby hands for her boyfriend to come to her. "Just one, and then I have to get dressed," she warned him mildly. Heidi was clearly amused.

She waited for Tuck to come to her and then pulled him down for the tender kiss she had been trying to give him before, her hands cupping his face.

That fond, dreamy smile was back by the time their kiss was over. Heidi watched Tuck as he raised her hand to kiss her knuckles, tucking her head under his chin and wrapping her other arm around his middle. "I love you~" she whispered happily, giggling after she spoke. It felt so good to say that. So good.

When told she needed to get dressed she smirked. He'd said she was sexy, and she drove him crazy, way to really boost a girl's ego, Tuck. Heidi hopped up on her tiptoes to give Tuck one more kiss. "Okay," she said before finally stepping away to gather her clothes. Heidi smiled at Tuck as she disappeared into the bathroom to change. She had considered changing right there but she was pushing her luck with the robe as it was.

She only came out when she was ready, wearing her new dress and putting the leather jacket on over it as she walked out. When Heidi was comfortable and grinned and did a turn for Tuck so he could see her dress all around. "What do you think? It's super cute, right?"

"Thaaaank you~. You look really awesome yourself." Heidi was totally ready to leave until she spotted something on the bed.

Eh? That box wasn't there earlier.

Heidi blinked. "What's this?" She moved toward the bed, reaching for the box. Heidi hadn't brought any boxes...was this something the hotel had provided? Like, a complimentary thing?

..Dessert? She blinked and looked up at Tuck. Suspicious.

"Yeah, I'm ready..is it a cake? We can bring it with us if you want."

Heidi's curiosity was hooked. It wasn't a cake, but dessert was in it. She squinted right back at him while she thought over her options. On the one hand Tuck had said he was starving, and she was actually pretty hungry too. On the other hand..she really wanted to know what was in the box.

She had a feeling Tuck wanted her to know what was in the box.

She looked down at it and then up at Tuck again. "..I'm hungry." Heidi pouted. "I can wait until after dinner."

As Tuck leaned in to kiss her forehead she closed her eyes and tilted her head up into the kiss, smiling up at Tuck again.

She took his hand and grabbed her wallet, offering it to Tuck as they walked out of the room. "Bread, yeah. Sausage, definitely..I dunno about noodles." Heidi squeezed Tuck's hand and walked close by his side, occasionally bumping his hip with a little grin as they walked to the elevator.

Wine? Heidi blinked. "If you want to. I've never had wine before. You're the one turning twenty-one~." She grinned, tugging Tuck into the elevator and leaning back against a wall as she had earlier. "Order whatever you want. Seriously. Anything at all."
