Private Finished [agodr] Learning to Fly (with a Dragon)

Taking Roldan's arm when he offered it to her, Celeste chuckled, "It's Miss, not Ms," she teased him, "And it's Celeste, or, well, Cici," she told him, not too sure why she had told him this though. It was a nickname her father had given her as a child, and one she rarely told people about unless they knew her well.

Listening to him talk as they walked toward her home slowly, Celeste laughed when he admitted to liking shocking people. "You're terrible," she joked, "A police officer scaring citizens, whatever will Angelo think?" she said with a grin.

"Scare, awe, open to interpretation really," Celeste retorted good-naturedly, flashing Roldan a surprised, yet happy grin when he unexpectedly called her Cici. "Well, dragons are rather magnificent creatures, so I guess you are allowed to show off," she replied teasingly.

Celeste nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with what he said, "That's fine. I wanted to wear heels and a dress anyways. Dress up a bit since it's not really a jeans and t-shirt place," she said, referring also to what she was wearing at that moment.

"And six 'clock is fine. I can just leave the kids dinner, or my dad can just take them out to eat, since he enjoys spoiling them," Celeste replied thoughtfully as they walked past a few older homes on the island.

"Did you just want to meet at the restaurant then?" Celeste asked curiously, not sure if he wanted to pick her up or not.

Stopping when Roldan did, Celeste glanced upwards curiously, following his gaze up to look at the night sky, marveling a bit at all the stars around them, noticing then that is was not quite a full moon yet.

"Yes..." Celeste nodded softly, agreeing wholeheartedly with him. In fact, she hadn't realised til today just how much she had been looking forward to seeing Roldan again, nor had she been ready for the fact that he made her feel, well, more than just happy, he made her feel special, something that had caught her totally off guard but in an amazing way. Celeste had never really met anyone like that, not even her ex, and she found it scared her a little too, but not in a bad way.

"I do too.. think it's exciting, and no, you aren't weird," Celeste grinned, looking at him then, feeling a bit shy but pushing through it. "And no, you aren't moving too fast for me," she said with a shake of her head.

"Definitely not, I thought maybe, well, maybe I was being a bit too forward by asking you to take me flying," she admitted sheepishly. She still thought it was, in a way, a weirdly intimate, familiar, thing to be asking someone if they could let another get on their back and ride them.

"You are good," Celeste told him, "All my kids are fine with you, even Shale," Celeste told him very truthfully, slightly amazed, blushing softly when he took her hands in his and kissed her knuckles. It was such a nice, warm, romantic gesture and she could feel herself melting inside.

"Maybe just a little," Celeste chuckled at his comment, thinking he looked adorable, "But you are wonderful, and I am glad I asked, I wasn't sure if you'd find it odd or not," she admitted while looking at his hand holding hers and squeezing his hands gently.

"I really like you, you know.," Celeste said then as she looked up at Roldan softly.

"I wasn't sure...good to know though, that you had fun," Celeste admitted with a little smile, feeling quietly relieved now, especially upon hearing it wasn´t the oddest thing someone ever had asked him.

Celeste nodded shyly when Roldan asked if he could kiss her goodnight, "Yes..you can kiss me," she said softly, feeling kind of nervous, like a school girl at the thought, as she looked up at him again and felt herself blushing.
