A boyish smile slowly swept over his face as she repeated his words. Something told him sad animals were going to become a normalcy if they persued this. He peered down at her as she turned to him. His head tipped to the side and he smiled change to something a little more daring.
"Theft? Murder..." His word trailed off when she leaned up and kiss him. He went still for a moment and then inched closer. Without thinking he pushed up on to his forearm. She went from being beside him to just a little but under him. The way her touch made him feels wasn't something he'd experienced before and every time she did it he wanted it a little more. "I am trying...so very hard to be nice to you." He closed eyes and rested his forehead on her shoulder.
This technically wasn't new. Bonnie was always pushing him, but now she was pushing him into new territory. Cade let out an almost defeated breath before lifting his head and looked up at her. "Just so we're clear I'm not kissing you on the same night that I insulted you." Even as the words left his mouth he shifted again so that she was fully on her back. The same hand that had been wrapped around her shifted up, brushing her hair from her face. "I'm gonna earn the first one." He leaned down and kissed her forehead. "but I'm also gonna cheat because I may or may not have played this out once or twice in my head since the ball." He dropped a kiss on her cheek and another on her jawline. The last kiss did something to him and he had to close his eyes again. His hand dropped back down to her waist. They were already close but he wanted to pull her closer. "I swear I'm gonna do this right." The statement was suppose to be a promise to her but he seemed to be a rule himself to. He looked down a the little space between and laughed. They'd been fighting twenty minutes ago and now he was kissing her everywhere but where he really wanted to. "Bonnie? Can I take you out? Like on an actually date? You know? Hair washed? Proper clothes. Preferably a day where I haven't said something awful to you?" His gaze drifted from the faint rise and fall of her breathing and back to her face.

Cade peered down at Bonnie as she spoke. It had never occurred to him that his tolerance for her was any different for any one else. But it had to be because he could sit and listen to her talk about whatever. His thumbe brushed back and forth of the fabric of her shirt and she defended her horror movie decision.
He chuckled and nodded at the first part. "Fair point." A comical expressed flashed acrossed his face as she went on."So in your version I make it to the credits. Got it." He watched her cheeks grow red before turning back to the movie. Shaking his head he looked back at the screen too. He couldn't just stare at her all night with a stupid smile on his face.
Again Cade found himself wanting to me more honest then he should. "Yes and no." He said watching her finger trace his arm. "On one hand I feel a little like I'm breaking rules. You know? Kinda how it was at the lake " He continued to watch her fingers. Finding it easy to speak if he didn't look at her too long. "But on the other hand Im starting to think I've been doing this making out in closets thing all wrong 'cuz this is..." He searched for the kind of words that wouldn't have her turning red from head to toe. "Nice? he laughed a little as he ducked his head. I just mean I could do this for a while...you know as long as I remember to think of cats in shelters and puppies being kicked. " This time he did fully laugh but he buried the sound in her hair. He pulled head just enough to see her face. I wasn't lying when I said you were doing a good job the other night. I'm a little concerned for my resolve because I'd do some pretty awful things right now if you asked me to if it meant you kept doing that."

The faint smile on his face grew as he listened to her. It was daunting to explore this side of them but the feeling alone wasn't enough to discourage him. He never had that kind of rush when someone touched him. He liked her it. He looked down at her hand and smirked. " I'm still deciding... He wasn't totally sure on how to go about all of this but he wanted to see it through.
Before he had a chance to bring her finger back up to his face she turned over and and nestled into his side. They had for sure crowned each other face through our the years but her little shimmy pulled what little attention he had left away from the screen. "I don't know " he let her arrange his arm around her. When he'd accentually said that Bonnie was in charge in hadn't really occurred to him what it would cost. This position was costing him. It was the scent of her hair and the heat of her body. It made him think of the lake. " I think it got a little too real for you when you realized he was in the house with them." A low laugh rumbled from him. "All I really remember is you explaining to me that if I slept closer to the door you would have a warning. " Cade's hand gathered a little bit of the front of her shirt in his fist as he relaxed. "Which honestly now that I think about it is a little selfish on your part. If we were in a horror movie I would hope we made it out together. Instead of you using my death as a security alarm. You've definitely got 'final girl's energy but what would you do without me? Who would you use as a shield from the sun , or wind. I can't reach to the back of the shelf to get you your favorites if I'm killed off in the second act. he teased.
