Chapter Fifteen

"I'll be back later tonight Dragon Boy, I just want to pick up a few groceries for dinner before we go out tonight," Rory called, pulling her shoes on by the front door. 

"Alright Songbird," he smiled from his spot at the kitchen table. Tim was on his second cup of coffee of the morning and was getting ready to head into Wayne Enterprises. He was dressed in his regular business suit without the jacket with his shaggy black hair a mess upon his head. No matter how tired Tim was, or the lack of sleep he got in a night his eyes always shined that deep blue Rory had fallen in love with. 

Rory had just gotten her shoes on and threw her purse on her shoulder when he got up from his seat and walked over to where she was standing. He took her waist and pulled her against his chest with a glimmer of something in his eyes. 

"Maybe we'll get a few moments to ourselves before patrol?" he asked tracing circles on her hip with his thumb.

Rory gave him a sly smile, "If you manage to pull yourself away from your work long enough." she teased. 

Tim let out a huff and took her chin in his hand, tilting her head to look up at him. "You could just come and visit me at the office instead." His thumb brushed her bottom lip, Rory parting her lips slightly at his touch. 

"You and I both know that you won't get any work done if I visit you. Besides, I think your poor secretary has been scarred enough we don't need to traumatize her for life." she giggled. 

Tim's laughter was music to her ears, she loved to hear it almost as much as she loved the thought of being the person to make him laugh every day. Getting on her toes, Rory leaned up and pressed her lips against his softly with Tim's grip still on her waist and chin. 

It was so easy to get lost in his kiss, the way his lips molded against hers perfectly had Rory weak in the knees every time she kissed. It felt like she was floating on air, and it had been like that since their first kiss all those years ago. 

Just like it was easy for Rory to get lost in his kiss, Tim lost himself in Rory as well. He couldn't get her out of his mind no matter what he did. Deep down he knew he shouldn't be mentally thanking Ivy, but if it wasn't for the kiss she gave Rory he might have never kissed Rory at all. 

He pulled her closer to him, his hand sliding from her waist until it was placed firmly over her ass, and gave it a light squeeze. Rory squirmed in his arms with a giggle, and slowly pulled away from the kiss. "You think you're so sneaky, don't you? Thinking you can convince me to stay just a little bit longer?" she asked.

Tim brushed the loose hair out of her face as he stared into her warm gaze, the way the light reflected off the hues of her eyes made him fall in love with her all over again. He loved the color of her eyes and always had. Even from the time they were kids, he remembered her vivid gaze as they played together. 

"It was worth a shot though right?" he grinned, pecking her lips one last time as he let her go.

Rory rolled her eyes and kissed his cheek, "Focus on work and we shall see what happens tonight." she chuckled and grabbed her set of keys.

Before she could open the door, Tim ran forward and grabbed her hand. "I love you, Rory, stay safe." he smiled and left a lingering kiss on her lips. 

Blinking slowly, Rory smiled at him and placed a kiss on his hand. "I love you too Timothy, I'll see you later tonight."  and with that, she was out the door. 

Rory woke with a start and looked around, she hadn't noticed she was asleep. She didn't even remember falling asleep, let alone curling up with the blanket that was not there before. Sitting up slowly, she took a look around the library and saw that the sun was beginning to set as well.
