Thursday: After the Deep Thoughts Club

[m-samuelle.livejournal.com]

Michael came out of the classroom still a little bemused by his conversation with Ted. Parker was waiting for him. He wrapped an arm around her and kissed her soundly. "Hey, what are you doing here? Never mind. I'm just glad you're here."

Parker smiled, and kissed him back, then sighed. "God. That's what I needed. How was your meeting?" She turns to walk with him down the hallway, back to the dorm.

"Strange," Michael replied. "That Professor - Ted? He's... something else. How did your day go?" He keeps his arm around her holding her close to his side.

"Good news: I have a bunny, and Carter is going to make her habitat. Bad news..." She let her voice trail off. "From home, but I don't want to get into it. I just want to forget it." Parker smiled at him winningly. "Listen, I have an idea for this weekend."

He stops and looks at her. "A bunny?" He grins at the idea.

"What's your idea for this weekend? Actually, I was thinking we should go away somewhere. Like *really* away."

"Zero," she said on a sigh, but still smiling. "Though she won't admit it. Esmerelda's in my suite, she should be awake now, if you want to meet her?"

Then she laughed. "Okay, that's frightening. Because that's what *I* wanted to talk you into."

"Uh, sure, I guess I'd love to meet... Esmerelda?" He grins again and shakes his head. "This is a side of you I hadn't seen."

"Really? You wanted to get away from here too? Did you have a place in mind, because I was thinking I could take you to Paris, show you some of my old haunts."

"She caught me in a moment of weakness," Parker muttered. "Jaye Tyler named her, okay? It just seemed to... fit."

Now Parker hugged him, laughing. "Oh, that's perfect. That's exactly what I wanted!" She takes a breath, and smiles delightedly as she pulls away. "Can we have *one* stop on the way back for business? One that shouldn't take more than an hour?"

Michael laughs, "Okay, sure."

"Absolutely we can make a stop on the way back - whatever you want as long as you come with me and away from here." He stops and looks a little sheepish. "And you may kill me, but I'm glad you wanted to come, because I already got passes for us to go from Dean Bristow."

"Oh, thank God, I don't have to face the man and claim it's a family emergency. I don't think I could tell him to his face that I wanted a 'romantic getaway.' I think my tongue would curl up in my mouth and fall out." She grinned, and took his arm. "So we leave after Gun Club? Go to the mainland, catch a flight?"

He kissed her again. "Glad you're not upset with me. After Gun Club sounds fine with me. Want me to arrange for the flights?"

"Perfect." Parker leaned into him, placed a kiss on his jawline, then murmurred, "There's this place on the Cote D'azur; I think you'll like it. They make the most divide escargot...."

Without any concern for anyone who might be watching, Michael wraps his arms around her again and kisses her. "I don't care where we are or what we eat as long as I'm with you. But..." he shrugs, "All things being equal, why not spoil ourselves a little, right?"

Parker kissed back, slow and happy, then purred as she pulled away. "Precisely. Spoiled is spectacular."
