"I usually do," Kevin grinned at her, much more confident than their first meeting. "Don't listen to your friends -- you make a lovely vampire."

"Thank you!" She replied as if she'd been telling her friends the exact same thing. Which, of course, she hadn't.
"Well, I've gotta go." She said suddenly, fishing around in her purse for her keys. Obviously she wasn't intending on driving home, but if she was gonna do this properly, she needed Kevin to think she was.

Kevin observed her, biting on his lower lip.
"Hey no! Stick around!" he said lightheartedly, pulling out a chair for her.

"Oh, no, I couldn't. I really shouldn't drink any more tonight." Which was quite true.

"Ye dun have tah drink, jist talk!" Kevin slurred slightly, Irish accent coming back in thick and strong.

Lily raised an eyebrow at him. "By the looks of it, you shouldn't drink any more either..." She stepped close to him, her mouth next to his ear.
"We could take this back to my place." Her heart was racing; she hadn't done this in half of forever.

Kevin felt like his heart was doing somersaults. He didn't even hesitate to think, "Okay," he said, rising from his chair quickly.

Well, that was easy. Why had Lily been so nervous?!
She made her way out of the bar, thankful her apartment was only a block away. And that her roommate was gone for the weekend. How convenient!

Kevin was a little nervous -- he'd only been with Irish girls -- not that it really made them different from any other girl. He just supposed no one else would ever be interested him but other Irish folk.
Particularly someone as beautiful as Lily.
"You originally from New York, Lily?" he asked. Who knows -- maybe she was born in Ireland.

"Yes and no. Technically, I was born in London. But we moved here when I was 8 months old. I'm an American citizen, though. I just wasn't born here. Like that one girl from National Treasure, the one who gets with Nicolas Cage. Gross."
Lily started searching for her apartment keys as the complex was just ahead of them.

"National What?" Kevin asked blankly, watching her curiously.

"Er... Never mind." Lily chuckled nervously as they arrived at her door. She unlocked it and held it open for Kevin.
"I'm on the first floor, thankfully. Don't really feel like walking up stairs right now."

"Warning ya now, I'm a snoop and gonna look at everything within plain sight -- like a police officer without a search warrant," he grinned cheekily.

"Snoop away." Lily always encouraged snooping as it was the key to being a journalist.
She led him down the hallway to her apartment door, 1C, and unlocked it with only a bit of clumsiness. She opened the door and turned on the overhead light in the front room.
"This is it." She looked around her apartment, wondering what he would think of the brightly colored and patterned furniture, the bookshelf full of DVDs, the various throws and pillows strewn about. Her bedroom was pretty similar, though a bit more messy.

Kevin immediately went over to the DVDs and started scanning titles.
"Nice collection," he murmured appreciatively. "I left most of mine back home -- make the flight over lighter and less burdensome." He sounded like he regretted it, however.
