April let out a sigh of relief when Stephanie relented and asked for the check. Not because she wasn't enjoyng it, but because this small part of her thought Stephanie was going to toy with her more, and she didn't know if she could keep things PG in that restaurant much longer.

The ride back was even harder. April had run into this problem a lot recently... Cab rides took too long. Being in the position she was, she definitely exchanged the occasional risky touch, or went in for what would likely be a heated kiss... But she never let it get too far, if only because she was letting Stephanie take charge and dictate the pace of the night, which hadn't been the initial plan but at this point April definitely couldn't see how things could go differently. Every near make out was stopped with a gentle, if firm hand from Stephanie maintaining control of the situation. April happily conceded. 

April quietly set her coat aside as they entered, keeping her lips sealed shut as long as humanely possible, smiling at the baby sitter absent mindedly and just staying near Stephanie. It wasn't that she was being super submissive or anything, she just didn't trust herself not to embarrass her host. And it would also do well to wait until they confirmed the child was in bed, before traumatising her at all.

April stood but a few feet from the door and watched the baby sitter go, letting out a brief sigh of relief and beginning a slow glance around "nic-" she was cut off with a sudden squeak as Stephanie yanked her over. April was a fairly strong woman, but she was not only not expecting it... But was pretty into it.

An involuntary shudder escaped April as she was pinned against the door, her hands quickly wandering Stephanie's back without restraint, or much care for gentleness.

April giggled once again at more innuendo, it was just so amusing to play the game of innuendo to her. Maybe she was a little immature, maybe. There was something weird and honest about it. It was like the same satisfaction you got from being openly rude or crass with family and loved ones, they knew you didn't mean it. April really did appreciate honesty, and straight forwardness in people.

"Well luckily for you darling, stamina is my strong suit." She purred in return and grinned in amusement, enjoying the lax nature of the conversation. She was definitely eager, but April was used to taking her time. Going at her partners pace so to speak. She was flexible.

And so April leaned in and was about to take a bite out of her dessert when she felt an adventurous hand reaching along her leg, down to the knee as Steph spoke. At first it was amusement, the little game carrying on. Cat and mouse.

And then. She became the mouse. She would have snorted a drink if she was holding it when Stephanie dropped the disguise. "Well I'm sure you can find something t-" she quickly slapped a hand over her lip as a jolt of electricity ran up her body, just barely suppressing a squeak in time that would have drawn some real attention to their table.

She held her hand there on her mouth for a few seconds, deliberately not taking Stephanie's hand away, and exhaling slowly. "I thought you were the one checking if I was impatient." She murmured, very quietly, visibly keeping her voice under control. April was okay with being the mouse.

April chewed her lip a little thoughtfully, she'd not really thought this whole thing through that far yet. As a matter of fact she was avoiding it actively. She'd really not been expecting the evening to take this sort of a turn, she tried hard not to let it throw her off her game. It was something she should dwell on, but definitely not for tonight. The promise of intimate time with Stephanie was more than just a fleeting distraction, it was exciting.

"We'll see. Maybe I become a criminal mastermind this time around." She joked, wanting to move on the subject from the discomfort.

Some women may have tried to cover up snorts, or things that may seem unattractive in a superficial sense. April was not one of them. She definitely snorted in what her mother would call an 'un-lady like' fashion. She didn't really care, if there was one thing she would avoid doing as much as possible, it was being dishonest with other people and herself. She didn't disguise things, and she didn't apologise for anything.

"Hmmm. I suppose I could partake in something sweet before we move onto something sweeter." She hummed, not remotely caring how cheesy the line was, her grin betrayed her knowing exactly what she'd said. Choosing words carefully in this scenario was absolutely not difficult. April ordered some too.

The last couple of months had been a whirlwind for April, waking up in New York, in a random alley had been fairly traumatic. She'd gotten her brother to (reluctantly) agree to not talk to her family about it. She wasn't ready to deal with that yet. She was almost certain she wasn't the same person she'd been before this whole thing.

As a result of the weird situation she'd kind of been all over the city, she'd met all kinds of new people and spent very little time at home, with her brother. Mostly really, she'd just eaten meals and slept there, occasionally. Sometimes with partners.

Her brother was a patient man. Much more patient than her at any rate, but even Danny had his limits. So after the biggest verbal lashing she'd ever received outside of her mother she fled the apartment and barely had time to grab her bag and coat before she ran out from the yelling.

Okay. So she needed to pull her weight. Groceries seemed like a good start. She did feel bad, but... Okay, only a bit. She loved Danny and it sucked she was upsetting him, but April was still working out who she was, who she wanted to be.

Not half an hour later she was slowly strolling around a store April chided herself. She really should have made a list, she was just kind of running away from all the shouting. "Milk, butter, bread, cereal- what else did he nee" She turned a corner, looking around at the signs and not really paying attention to where she was going.

Her basket abruptly crashed into another and she very nearly lost her footing in the sudden shock, stumbling a little. "Gah! Sorry, not looking where I was going, totally my fault!" She apologised.

April gave Juniper a wolfish grin. Oh, they were going to be fast friends. April hadn’t ever met someone both as compatiable socially, and physically with her. Tinderbox had been able to take the heat, but he was also a massive jerk that April had to teach some manors. Which was rewarding, in it’s own way. “Mmmm, you’re in for a treat then Junebug, it’s much more aparent without any clothes~” She teased.

April chuckled and reached out to gently grasp Juniper’s fingers. “You know, you’re surprisingly gently and adorable, given your personality. It’s very cute.” April quickly leaned in closer, eager to soak some of the warmth that was Juniper in.

Juniper’s comment was actually quite amusing. “I keep finding new things hidden in interesting places.” She replied absent mindedly. Old April, New York April, had bought a significant number of things in the last eight years. It was fun exploring.

April unscrewed one of the bottles and took a big gulp of water before gently placing it down and leaning back over to Juniper, kissing her on the lips eagerly.

A smile immediately appeared on April's lips. She'd assumed dog. It must have been a BIG cat. "I don't mind cats, they're refreshingly honest animals. Fuzzy cuddle jerks." She admitted.

She giggled and leaned down straight away to stroke the cat and noted that she definitely got some fur on her as a result. This was fine. She would hate to be allergic to animals, she definitely loved them. Cats and dogs both had their benefits.

"Water sounds like a good idea, I've a feeling dehydration is gonna happen." She admitted sagely. It usually did, especially with her body heat. "Fair warning Junebug, my body is hot. And not just sexy, I hope you don't overheat easily~" She purred.

She glanced around and smirked. "Pretty much exactly what I imagined, let me guess, most of your money and possessions are in your bedroom? Perhaps in some drawers?" She quirked an amused eyebrow, gently depositing her coat at an appropriate spot April peeled layers until she was down to what a normal person would consider appropriate for an apartment.

She did feel a little shiver run up her spine from the temperature, and moved over towards Juniper with a smile.

April leaned forwards as her smile widened slightly. She really wasn't just joking or engaging in wordplay when she said to people that she saw the best in them, or that there were attractive things in everyone she met. The fact that Stephanie had matured for the sake of her daughter, and was doing right by her definitely qualified in April's books.

"That's lovely to hear, I'm sure she'll grow up happy with that parenting attitude." She chirped honestly.

Eyebrows were quirked again, and April's smile turned a touch more ravenous for a moment. "I'm sure we'll manage, it's already feeling pretty special to me. Getting dressed up and actually coming for a date is a big enough deal already." It really was, and wearing this dress was helping.

The accent was very much appreciated. April had her own, less obvious accent that came from growing up in Portland. "I am, kind of. It's sort of hard to segue into this, but I used to be older than this, something happened that I don't remember and I woke up in the city, not remembering how I got here." She shrugged.

"Apparently, I used to be 29, now I'm 21. I didn't really get a say in the fresh start, and I don't know what do with it yet, but I'm happy to take it." She grinned again, her mood shifting once more toward Stephanie related excitement. "Especially if it means I get to meet beautiful people~"
