*He grins around his spoon. Swallowing he savors the taste.*
"This one I can't take credit for. The pie was my best friend's doing. I've never been all that great at dishes that have to be measured and precise. But I'm very glad you're enjoying it. It's good to see you smile."
*After another spoonful of blackberries and ice cream Jeremy sets his spoon down.*
"Hope I was able to help some with your problem."

*Lizzie's blush renewed, not only at the assumption she had made but also at the return to the issue at hand.*
"Not real--I mean, yes, but I just don't know. How do I know if I would like kissin' her if she's a girl? I mean, looked like a girl. 'Cause I think I might rather...with boys."
*Her eyes darted up to his for a moment. She wasn't sure what she was trying to say.*

*He grins at her blush.*
"How do you know? Seems simple to me... kiss the hell out of her without thinking about her gender."
*Scooping up another spoonful of ice cream, Jeremy lets it melt in his mouth, his eyes closing slightly as he savored it.*

*A half-chewed chunk of pie fell out of Lizzie's mouth. He wasn't saying...suggesting she...but... She blinked and finally moved to wipe her mouth with her napkin.*
"I..uh...sorry."
*She lowered her eyes.*
"But what do I do if I still like it?"
Jake'd never let me...what am I even suggesting?

*Jeremy's eyebrow raises in genuine confusion.*
"Then you enjoy it.... I don't see the problem. And even if you do enjoy kissing her when she's dressed like a girl doesn't mean you don't like boys. Especially if you enjoy it the same as kissing a boy."
*He looks at her plate and smiles.*
"Don't worry... I won't tell the chef that you spit it out."
*He punctuates his joke with a wink.*

*Lizzie instinctively nodded in gratitude, but looked troubled.*
"But...how do I know if I like it as much as kissing a boy? I mean...if she wasn't...there was only one other time...and well, Jake wasn't too understandin'. Kinda made it hard to count, 'ya know?"
*She mashed at the pie with her spoon.*

"You saying, you're not sure if you have something to compare this future kiss to?"
*Jeremy's eyes lock on hers as he smiles gently.*

*Lizzie's lashes fluttered as she shifted nervously, unable to escape his gaze.*
"I...well...yeah, kinda. I just..."

"I see."
*Jeremy's hand slides across the table and takes hers as he slips out of his chair. Pulling her to her feet, his arm resting lightly on the small of her back. Keeping his gaze locked on hers, Jeremy's words are soft, his mouth close to her face.*
"Is this something else a new friend could help with?"

*Lizzie could feel her pulse racing. She bit her lip, unsure what was going on or if she wanted to stop it. He was nice and only wanted to help, right? And he was charming. She swallowed nervously and wet her lips subconsciously, her gaze never leaving his.*
"I...uh...is it?"

I hope so... or I'm going to get slapped.
*Jeremy leans in, his lips grazing hers lightly at first, slowly pressing more as the hand at the small of her back draws her closer. His eyes shut softly as his lips press against hers.*

*Lizzie gasped softly. It was...different. But nice too. Real nice. She tried to relax into it and follow his lead. She wasn't sure what do do with her hands though. Or her lips or... She squirmed slightly in indecision.*

*Jeremy slowly broke the contact of their lips, his tongue sliding over his as he pulled away. After a few seconds his eyes open and he blushes as he looks into hers.*
"Sorry if I was too forward... just couldn't let you not have something to compare. And... I'll admit to wanting that. Forgive the selfishness?"

*Lizzie could feel the heat of her blush in her cheeks. She licked her lips and lowered her eyes.*
"Course. It wasn't nothin'. I mean--it was, just...not in a bad way. But..."
*She dared a glance back up to him.*
"That wasn't how she kissed me."
