"I think he probably planned it all ready and was just waiting for the right time" he chuckled "which would have made everything obscenely awkward, speaking of which would you like a drink? Tea, coffee?"

"Of course" he grabbed the teapot from the hanger and started boiling some water "I never got the taste for this stuff, but that's probably due to a totally controllable caffeine addiction."

"I find a strong black tea has enough caffeine for me in the morning," said Teja, creeping to the table and putting her elbows on it, her face in her hands. "I don't like the aftertaste of coffee much."

"That is why you drown it with sugar" he smiled and grabbed some loose leaf stuff Adrian kept around and measured just the right amount in to an infuser.

"No, that doesn't help."
She realized belatedly he was making Adrian's green tea. No wonder Dan didn't like it.

He sat the cup down next to the stove and turned around "You're probably right, it's most likely a placebo affect, I imagine the sugar will make it taste better therefore it does."

She let out a short, but sincere laugh. It felt a little good to laugh, after the afternoon she was enduring, but she felt shy afterwards.
"...it feels like we shouldn't be strangers," she said, to get that out in the open.

"Absolutely" he replied, stuffing his hands back in to his pockets and stretching his back against the counter, he was feeling terribly stiff. "I don't uh, I don't tend to socialize with people Adrian knows- not that I don't want to mind you- I'm just terrible at keeping in touch; time tends to get away from me."

She nodded. "I'm new to this non-monogamy thing." Then flushed, like it wasn't something for polite conversation with a stranger.

"Hey me too" he laughed, a small color coming to his own cheeks; he thought about Liz and decided it wasn't the time or place to bring up his dominatrix vice queen ex.

"Nothing wrong with that" he checked the teapot and noticed steam started to form but no whistle yet "though you picked some heavy hitters to start with, but hey the heart wants what the heart wants."
