Yes, it was definitely his right. He had permission to put his arm around her for a long time now, and he had permission to kiss her for a while, now it was his right to do so. After all, he was her boyfriend. She couldn't get over that little word being played over and over in her mind. It was like a broken record that wasn't getting old anytime soon.
Did she have any other questions? Felicity had a ton of questions, but none that seemed to really matter at that point and time. Some may have, but they seemed less important now that he'd official asked her to be his, and he told her he was hers. On the other hand, they were ones that were personal, and probably not best to be discussed over dinner, in the open public. They weren't horrible, mortifying questions, just little ones.
"Nope, none for right now," she beamed at him. "Do you have any? Because it still stands that you can ask me anything you know." It was true, she didn't mind being asked any question, if she didn't want to answer it, she wouldn't.

"Nope, I think that covers it for me," Drew answered shooting her a cheesy grin. He had taken care of the two big ones he had been going for: New Years... girlfriend... Now that he had an affermative for both, he was good for the time being.
"If anything comes up, I'll be sure to let you know though," he told her. He was teasing, but at the same time serious. He knew that he could ask anything, but figured it would be a while before he felt the need to ask any really heavy questions.

"You do that," she giggled in response. Just taking a moment to look at him, especially his eyes, she really couldn't believe it, couldn't wait to start announcing it to people. The fact that Drew Thornton was her boyfriend was like a fairytale to the girl, Westley was finally hers. Celina, she was sure, would be ecstatic to some extent, but she would be happy for her nonetheless.
"And if I have any later, I'll ask, too," she told him. Of course she was going to have questions, she did at that moment, but she just wanted to relish in the moment that he'd asked her to be his girlfriend. Yeah, it was a good moment.
"Should we get started on the pies then, now that that's clear as a crystal?" she inquired. Actually, it was clear as a bell, they were right on the same word of the book at the moment, and that felt so nice.

Drew grinned back, just finding it amazing that she had said yes to being his grilfriend... twice now. He wasn't sure what he had done to luck out this much, but he sure as heck wasn't going to argue it.
It felt like something important that should be comemorated, and while he had gotten a pretty good kiss the first time, he wasn't sure that really counted seeing as it had needed clarification. Fanfare, fireworks, raised glasses, something was needed to mark the occasion, so he felt a little silly that the best he could do at the moment was offer her a meat pie. He did so with a crooked smile, almost apologetic as he let her take first pick of the plate.

Felicity was up for a little celebration, but her stomach was more up for food. She wasn't sure how much longer she could let the butterflies roam without something in her system to off-set them, even just a little bit. So, for her, the celebration would be after dinner, even if after her breathe wouldn't smell quite so nice, maybe she'd be able to find a witch with a heart to conjure her some toothpaste.
Drew's expression was a little off, and she wasn't sure why. But, he was smiling, and that was something she wanted. Picking one of the pies, she smiled at him again, and this time added a little dance in her seat from the excitement that was built up inside her.
Before digging into the pie, she leaned over to Drew and gave him a quick kiss, a happy one. Even her hair being short didn't seem to bother her too much at that moment. "So, Drew. I didn't ask, but how'd your Christmas go?"

Drew had to laugh at her little happy dance and he wondered if he was rubbing off on her. He had to do a little dance of his own when she kissed him. He felt that would suffice for celebration for the moment.
"It was pretty good," Drew answered, quickly swallowing the bite of pie he had just taken. "My parents came over and we hung out at my cousin's house so that was neat. I hadn't seen them since summer." Of course most of the kids at Hogwarts didn't see their families between summer and Christmas, but Drew always felt that it was different for him, seeing his parents were so far away. "We had a big dinner and opened presents... regular stuff I guess."
"So what did you guys do?" he asked, pretty sure her Holiday story would be more exciting. His Christmas hadn't been bad, just not terribly eventful.

"Mmmm...on the Eve, everyone came over as per usual. And we had a big dinner, ham and other whatnots, then we got to open presents. See, every year, all of our names go into a hat and we draw a name per person, and we have to get that person a present, as part of the bigger family. This year I had my sister Fawn, I got her a new a pair of earrings she's been wanting for a bit. I had to borrow some money from dad for them, but I promised him I'd pay him back. He's making me work in his store until I have to go back to Hogwarts in order to do that," she laughed in explanation. Really, she shouldn't have asked for money, being she knew her dad didn't exactly have much, but he'd given her enough to allow her to get them for Fawn.
"And Jacob had me. He got me a new CD, it's really nice. It's got a bunch of Christmas songs on it, I like it. But anyway, that's what we did all night. And then Christmas, I woke up to Freddy shaking me and telling me Santa stole into our house that night and he'd been awake all night waiting for it. He was nearly in tears because he had a thank you letter to give to him, and he'd missed him. He told me he didn't know how it'd happened because he really was awake all night. I just told him Santa is a very quiet person, and that Freddy should've just left the letter by the cookies the younger ones left out for him. But, we got to look in our stockings and mum made breakfast, so we had our usual sit-down breakfast, then we were allowed to open presents. After that, it was just a normal day, except with new things for everyone."
Taking a moment to savour the taste of the pie before continuing, she smiled again, not able to help herself. "And the day after, we went to Grandmum's and Granddad's. There we had another sit down dinner, with all of the family, meaning my mum's siblings, every single one of them and their families. And we got to open gifts again, and the children decided to put candies in my hair, too," she somewhat pouted. "And mum couldn't do anything about it, she didn't want to do any spells, and even then, while her siblings know about her, their families don't, at least not all of them. So, I had to get my hair cut, which mind you, I wasn't happy about."
Her long, precious locks were gone, now hanging short, in her opinion. While she was told it still looked nice, it wasn't something she liked.

Drew smiled at her story, finding her Christmas to definitely be more eventful than his had been. He had actually never woken up in a house with younger kids on Christmas so he found the Freddy story especially cute.
She was obviously not happy with her hair, but he was and he tugged on a bit of it with the hand that wasn't greasy. "I like it... a lot," he told her with a wide grin. It was shorter, but definitely not too short in his opinion.

He liked her hair? Even with how short it was, the length of it all, he liked it? Felicity was afraid he wouldn't, especially as he seemed to like her hair before. And with how long it had been, she was able to put the curls in it and not feel like it was too short, but now, if she were to curl it, it'd lift right off of her shoulders, which she couldn't stand to think of. And she knew Drew had been pretty enthralled with those curls she started to have people do for her ever since the Halloween Dance, and now, well...he'd have to wait for a while to see them again.
Smiling as he pulled at her hair gently, she couldn't help but feel at ease about it. As horrible as it was to her, he made it feel better.
Turning her head slightly, she kissed the palm of his hand lightly before tugging her hair out of his grasp with a happy expression, at least he liked it. "Oh!" she exclaimed a little suddenly, remembering she had wanted to show him. "I wanted you to see this," she told him as she unclasped the clasp of the locket Lucas had given her. "It's really neat, you need to look inside it."
Felicity handed the gold necklace over, as she told him to open and look at the picture of Sammy inside.

Of course Drew had liked the curls, but he liked straight hair too. And if he had been given a choice, he thought that maybe this particular length was his preference. Not too long and not too short... just right. And hey, the curls were fun, but it wasn't what was really important. It was much more important that her hair smelled like vanilla.
She kissed his hand and he smiled and when she showed him the locket, he took it up and opened it, laughing a little at the picture inside. "Sammy... very cute," he said, finishing off with just a bit of Squirrelese.

The brightest of grins covered Felicity's lips when Drew spoke, that was something she immensly enjoyed. Not the squirrelese, but the joking around he did. It obviously didn't matter if they were alone or in public, he was still adorable either way.
"Lucas said he took it one day when he was fooling around with a camera in the office. It wouldn't really surprise me, in a lot of film rolls I went through to find pictures for your present, there were a ton of them of Sammy. The little thing just can't stay out of spot light." Giggling, she took another bite of pie, enjoying the flavour. "Lucas gave me the locket, too, for Christmas. I wasn't expecting to get anything, and I still haven't sent him anything, but I'm working on a blanket for him, it was supposed to be a scarf, but I went a little far with it and decided I should just change it."

Drew choked a bit on the piece of pie he was in the process of chewing. There was that name again. Drew really thought the other guy was pretty cool. He'd really hate to have to beat him up to get him to back off.
"Lu... Lucas gave you the locket?" Drew fianlly said when the worst of the coughing had passed. Why he had assumed her parents, an aunt, someone else, had given it to her he didn't know. Maybe because in his mind, giving a piece of jewelry was pretty serious. Drew had contemplated it, but in the end rejected the idea as being too much too soon.
Dang... Lucas had beaten him to the punch again. He was mad, but also relieved that he hadn't gone with the jewelry idea for her present. If he had, Felicity would have had two lockets for Christmas.

"Are you all right?" Felicity questioned out of concern for her boyfriend, she really loved that word when used with him. His coughing seemed to come from nowhere, and she hadn't noticed him doing it earlier.
"Yes, Lucas gave it to me, for Christmas," she stressed. It wasn't as though he'd just gone off and bought it for her, he'd given it to her for a reason, a holiday. "I can't say gold is my favourite, but I wasn't going to tell him that. But I like it all the same, and being he put a photograph of Sammy in it, well, that makes it pretty special."
Felicity couldn't imagine Drew beating up Lucas, especially over something so petty and silly, and really, her thoughts hadn't even gone there. She knew everytime he'd been brought up that evening, Drew seemed to do something funny, or say something of the like. It hadn't occured to her that it could've been because Lucas had liked her, she was just thinking that perhaps he hadn't heard her correctly the first time and was looking for clarification.

Christmas, Birthday, Rosh Hashanah... it didn't matter. A guy giving a piece of jewelry to a girl sent a certain message... a message Drew just wasn't comfortable with. No, he wasn't going to get all possesive and demand she return it, but it still didn't mean he had to like it.
"Yeah," he answered at first, knowing she was asking about the choking, but then he changed his answer, feeling like he really needed to get this out. "No... I'm not. He likes you, Felicity. He really likes you. A guy doesn't give a girl jewelry unless he really likes you." He just hoped she didn't notice the lacking present he had given at this point. And he had been so pleased with himself when he found it...
He knew other guys liked her... and he knew she had said yes to him... but he still didn't feel comfortable with this. The jealously was a new thing for him. Maybe it was because all of the other guys had been scared of his last girlfriend, but he had never felt this way before. He didn't like it much.

Felicity knew Lucas liked her, he'd already told her he did. And she had told him she didn't like him, because she liked Drew. Really, she didn't see the problem, he knew she didn't like him, he'd even been angry enough with her that he'd told her he no longer wanted to be her friend, and that had hurt like nothing else. But later on, when they'd talked again, he said he'd rather be her friend than not in her life at all, and she found that to be very endearing.
"I know he likes me...and he knows I like you," she explained, trying to let everything he'd just said sink in. "I told him that, at the dance when he walked away from me. He said he liked me, and I told him I couldn't like him because I liked you too much." Felicity paused a moment, letting his words sink in. Well, she hoped Lucas liked her, they were friends after all. And Drew had said when a guy really liked a girl he gave her jewelry, he hadn't given her jewelry, did that mean he didn't like her like she liked him? That just didn't add up right in her mind.
"Lucas is my friend, Drew. And I like that locket," she pointed at it, still in his hands presumably as he hadn't given it back to her. "I like the picture of Sammy in it, especially since he's still at Hogwarts and not here in London with me. And I don't think he likes me as much as he did, because I like you, and I think he might like someone else. It was just a really nice gift for Christmas, and you didn't get me jewelry..." she left off, still confused about what he'd meant by a guy that really liked a girl and getting her jewelry.
