No One Can Save Me - Tumblr Posts

honeyed gaze momentarily flits from his eyes to where his arm now rests casually atop her knees. the warmth of his touch , though light , sending a pulse of awareness through her. she doesn’t pull away. instead , shifts slightly toward him , inviting the contact , a silent gesture that she’s comfortable with it — with him. ‘ like you could ever get rid of me. ’ words are confident , almost daring , accompanied by a big toothy grin that takes up residence on her face for only a second. soft giggles follow , escaping rosie petals before she leans back against the couch , head resting on the cushion. it’s strange realising they’ve barely had time to talk like this. knows better than anyone how swamped with work he's been , with lily. but now , banter flowing freely , it feels different. easier. ‘ so, ’ she starts , voice soft , inviting. ‘ i'm taking lily to the park tomorrow , if you're not super busy maybe you could come along ? ’ question is casual , but the unspoken curiosity that lies behind it speaks for itself. ‘ you should see her on the swings , she loses her tiny little mind every time … it's the most adorable thing i’ve ever seen. ’

he shook his head to himself at her reply, "now i know to make that one of the interview questions when i look for a new nanny." tone playful as he turned to face her slightly, his arm coming up to rest on top of her knees, she was obviously comfortable with the contact but he'd still watch to gauge her reaction. they were having a good time and the last thing he wanted to do was overstep her boundaries. this was one of the first nights he'd actually spoken more than just a few sentences to her, he was always busy with meetings and lawyers that he hadn't gotten to know her. he knew lily loved her and that's what truly mattered but this was nice too. "yeah, i would assume so. not like that british cricket shit." he joked as he took a drink from his bottle as he glanced back to the game.
