Thread: In Secure Relations (Cordelia x AlluringEnigma)

Josephine was beyond enamored with this woman with her sunkissed hair and her personality that could rival even the most practiced charm of those she met. And in her line of work, she met many that attempted to sway her with charm and deceit, but this woman was wholly open. It almost scared the redhead. So, when she felt the woman's lips against hers and had to remind herself that this wasn't something she wanted only once. At the gentle jest from Olivia, she smiled possibly her most sincere smile of the night. Oh, my apologies... I just wanted to make sure you had the richest and most fullbodied kiss possible. She said with a light chuckle. Is that a beer joke? Or a wine joke? Olivia asked with a playful tone, leaning in as though she were hoping for another kiss. Josephine's smile morphed into something a little less genuine and into a more playful one. Both.... hope you're hoppy with that answer. She added like a doofus would add a joke and possibly risk ending the date. However, she refused to allow this and distracted Olivia by planting another kiss to her lips. This time, it was a little more as though she were a lovesick fool. It was clumsy and meant to make her companion laugh. Was it wrong for her to wish for this to be beneficial on both sides of the spectrum? To let it be a romance and a source of information? Her mind tried to rationalize it all and make sense of what she wanted. It wasn't easy for her to fight off the desire to use her a little, but every time that she looked at Olivia, she told herself not to do it. To just love her new relationship with this wonderful creature. Her hand reached up to brush a gentle finger over Olivia's cheek and smiled. You're Adorable. I hope that will never change. Josephine said softly. Well, that's easy. It's impossible to change someone, y'know. She said, the smile on her face revealing that the detective was certainly a little tipsy. It was still charming. I suppose that's true. Josephine sighed, acting relieved to hear such a thing. The two sat on the rooftop, enjoying their sweets and wine as they watched the sun continue to go down and the stars slowly begin to shine. It was relaxing and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. Unlike all of the previous days and nights, filled with rain or intense winds. This night seemed as though it was made for them, to sit together as they basked in the romantic lighting. They spoke for hours, nothing of note, it was primarily all idle chatter and laughter. When it got a little too late, Josephine gathered their trash and tossed it into a bin. She led Olivia down from the rooftop so they could head back to their cars. With a gentle touch of their hands separating, Josephine had to admit she felt an immense sorrow. My dear, lovely, Olivia... I pray you arrive home safe and sound. Without a worry of anymore terrible puns this night. Josephine called out, carrying a simple bravado as she walked backwards towards her own car. With a blown kiss and a swooping bow, she knew that if Olivia could get past the absolute absurdity of her farewell. She was a true keeper. Luck was with the redhead as Olivia mirrored the action, her own bow sweeping. Fare thee well, my sunshine, Josephine! I will await the song of your call come daylight tomorrow! She called out, watching the redhead disappear into a car. As Josephine sat down in the vehicle, she let out a small laugh. It was a strange and charming success. This date, this event she anticipated to go so horribly wrong, went so insanely well. Her head rested against the steering wheel and she smiled brightly. It was such a thrill, to finally feel like something was going right outside of work. She started the car and went home, smiling happily to herself the whole way. Positively smitten.
