"Making sure I don't screw things up," Drew answered simply felling like that just about covered everything. If he could keep from messing up too badly, he figured she might just stick around a while. His bouts of paranoia, roving hands, fits of frustration, chronic foot in mouth, and proclivity towards clumsiness hadn't run her off yet, so he figured his odds were pretty good.

"You won't," she told him confidently, feeling as though it was quite truthful. If anyone was going to screw things up, she'd be the one to do so. With the way she acted at times, it was a wonder he hadn't told her to never mind anymore. Actually...he kind of had, but she hadn't been willing to listen to him, even if he was angry with her, she wanted to be with him. There was something about him that she liked.
Leaning her head back against him, she tilted her head to see him and smiled. "You need to stop worrying about messing anything up. I don't think you realize that it doesn't come down to just you," she teased lightly. "I also have a large part in playing in that...and you can believe I'm going to try my best not to do that."

Drew nodded back and kissed the top of her head, taking some time to really think about what she said. A few people still teased him about his last girlfriend, saying he had been too scared of her to do anything but stick around. He had freely admitted that she had him whipped and at the time had worn that particular title almost proudly, but after the break-up he hadn't been sure he wanted to go back to being that kind of guy. He didn't want to be whipped... or at least as badly as he had been with Alhana. For some reason, Drew was pretty sure that Felicity wouldn't take advantage of the situation as the Hungarian Fireball had.
"I don't think you have too much to worry about there," he told her softly, leaning his cheek on top of her head. Sure, there had been that time when he had told her to leave him alone, but that had been before he really knew what was going on.
Not that he really was sure now, of course...

Felicity just relished in that moment, the silence, though she wasn't one for it, it was wonderful. Although silence wasn't preferred by the blonde when she could have noise, it was one of those times where she liked it. Even with all of the noise around them, it was like a muffled background noise, almost like that of a buzzing fly, it didn't matter.
And maybe Drew didn't think she had much to worry about, she was worried. How many times had she made him mad at her, or started a misunderstanding and she had been worried he wouldn't talk to her ever again? On the other hand, he always did talk to her, which was extremely pleasing the young Gryffindor, but it was still nerve wracking, what would happen when he finally decided not to talk to her again?
But it wasn't a moment to think about it, not right then.
"I hope not," she answered truthfully. Felicity didn't want to have to worry about it, because she didn't want to mess anything up. But her fear was still there. "Because I like you too much to want to mess things up."

"Good, 'cause I like you too," Drew confirmed, thinking that maybe it would be for the best if they didn't try to figure out who had the greater chance of messing things up. It was pretty clear that neither of them wanted it to happen, but if they kept talking about it, it was a sure way of jinxing it all.
As if in confimation, Drew's watch started to vibrate on his wrist and he gave a small groan, knowing exactly what that meant. "It's seven thirty!" the watch announced with a bit of impatience as if trying to figure out why they were just standing around when they had someplace to be. "I need to get you home," he said, obviously disappointed that their time was nearly up.

And that was the correct time, while the night hadn't seemed to last very long, she knew there wouldn't ever be another one if she wasn't home on time. Nodding very slowly, she acknowledged what he said, and what it meant. It was time to go home and be grilled about what happened, what they did, and whatnot. At least she had a few fair things to tell them, and she could even leave out the kissing parts, which was a good thing for the time being.
"All right," she answered, pulling out from his arms, but making sure to slip her arm through his quickly. The contact was always nice for her. Definitely getting home on time would be a good thing, and she was sure her dad would take kindly to it.

Even in his heavy coat he felt a little chilly now that she wasn't pressed against him any more. Her arm linked through his was a bit of a consolation, but he couldn't help but wondering when he'd have her that cloe to him again. They had New Years, but he didn't think they'd get much of a chance even then.
"We've got a little time to grab something for dessert," Drew told her, thinking they still had all the food from dinner as well. "We could take it back to share if you wanted."

A wide smile appeared on her lips as she turned her face up towards his. He wanted to grab dessert when they hadn't even finished off their dinner? Actually, the idea didn't bother her none too much, in fact, it sounded good to her. Though she doubted any dessert they could buy there would taste nearly as good as what he could make.
"That sounds good," she told him, unable to wipe the smile away. "If you don't mind, that is. I mean, we have a lot of food still left over from dinner that we didn't finish, but I like sweets." Really, she didn't think she had to even tell him that, but there wasn't a reason not to. "Of course, not nearly as much as I like your kisses..." she lowered her voice to a soft whisper, but still audible enough for him to hear.

"The food's not really a problem," Drew told her with a grin and a shrug. "If you don't want anymore, I can just send it over to my sister's fridge." He wasn't too sure how it would look to go back to the Hjort's with a full meal still waiting to be eaten... two, maybe three full meals at that, given how much food they had ordered. And then someone was bound to ask why they hadn't eaten it and that would just lead to some very uncomfortable topics.
"Suggestions?" he asked, figuring she would probably go for something chocolatey.

"I didn't say I didn't want any more," she grinned and stuck her tongue out at him. Truth was, she didn't want him to feel obligated to buy something more when they had a ton of food just waiting to be eaten, then again, he was right. He could always send it over to his sister's apartment. Really, it was up to him what he wanted to do with it. Most likely, if anyone bothered to wonder about the amount of food, they'd believe Felicity had fallen ill or something of the like, just because she hadn't polished off everything.
"Mmm...chocolate's always a good choice," she answered. "Maybe something...very chocolaty, fudgey..." she smiled up at him. He should very well have known by that point that chocolate was her very best non-animated friend. "And perhaps if we can find something...with cherries?"

"We could probably find something like that," Drew answered, thinking that if they didn't have anythign at the Festival, they could stop at a Muggle bakery on the way back. He was pretty sure he had a few pounds mixed in with the galleons he carried.
"So.. yeah, you want to keep the food?" he asked, not sure if she still wanted to eat the pies or something. If not, he really thought it would be best to send it home. At the very least it would be one less thing to have to carry.

Flashing another smile at him, she held back the laugh that wanted to surface. He really did spoil her something fierce, and the fact he agreed to go along with what she was thinking for dessert was really nice.
"Only if you do," she replied. "I don't really need to eat any more, I'm not extremely hungry at the moment, but if you want to take it back to my house, we can." Felicity's stomach wasn't grumbling and if they were getting dessert, it would be more than enough to make her happy. However, if he wanted to take the food back to her home, she wouldn't tell him no and would probably even eat a bit of it too. "Or you can send it to your sister's, whichever you prefer."

Drew figured it would be easier all around to just send the leftovers back to Allegra's. They were going to get dessert and that was probably all they needed. Besides, if they really needed more, he was pretty sure the Hjorts kept food at their place... and even if they didn't he could get the pies and sausages from Allegra's as easily as he had sent them there.
There was a pastry shop just up the street and as they neared it, it looked crowded, but not enough to keep them from being late back to the house. He looked at the display in the window and his stomach gave a low grumble. "See anything you like?" Drew asked as he flicked his wand at the dinner leftovers, making the package disappear.

There was always food at the Hjort's, they wouldn't be able to survive if there wasn't, not with the amount of people going in and out of the house. And especially being the Holiday's, there was plenty of food. So, if they were hungry later, she could always go through the cupboards and refrigerator and find something for the two of them...or more depending on who decided to stick around and bug them.
Peering into the shoppe window, she looked around and giggled when she heard his stomach, it wasn't extremely loud, but enough for her to hear. Poking him gently in his stomach she smiled innocently at him and returned her attention to the display. There was a lot that looked nice, especially to a girl with a fixation for chocolate.
"That doesn't look too bad," she told him, pointing at a festive looking vanilla cake. However, that only lasted a minute when she caught sight of something that was much more appealing. It was a chocolate cake, with chocolate mousse and had cherries over the top. That was more of what she was looking for, and her eyes lit up when her point changed directions and was showing off exactly what she'd been thinking.

"So that's the one we get," Drew answered, thinking it looked pretty good as well. Anything with chocolate and fruit together was always a winner with him. He pushed the door open and let Felicity enter through first before following her into the shop. Now all they had to worry about was making sure no one took their pick before it was their turn to order.
