RP with Number Five

[gravity_grrl]

Roxy had never thought that she would be the type of person who would call herself a homebody, up until a few years ago she had been a total social butterfly club girl. Always wanting to be out, dancing or shopping, and never at home.

But now she realizes that might have been because she hadn't ever had a real home, not one where she had felt safe.
Or like it was permanent.

But things were different now that she and Five had their forever home and one of the great things about it was that Five had crafted it to have basically everything they would ever need. Such as the personal gym which she is heading past right now on her way to do the laundry, she glances in to see if the cats are in and instead spies her soon to be husband.

She pauses, standing in the doorway to just watch him for a moment.
Watch?
Okay, more like ogle because wow....]

I know, I'm like soooo subtle.

[She jokes, wrinkling her nose at him playfully. While he assembles the salad she gets down two glasses and fills them with ice.]

Do you want water or lemonade with lunch?

[oldmanfive]

Clearly you are the master of subtle.

[ He adds with a chuckle as goes to mix the salad up as thankfully he had gotten into the habit of doing food prep on certain ingredients to make it easier for them to prepare meals throughout the week. The chickpeas are already toasted and seasoned. So all he has to do is toast the pieces of baguette that he plans to serve on the side to add a little more carbos to their meal. ]

Water is fine. I need to rehydrate anyway.

[ He replies as he starts plating the salads, making sure they both have good size servings. Since he doubts they are going to be on time for dinner later. He pops over to the fridge to pull out the lemon vinaigrette that he made himself, during his food prep session earlier in the week. ]

Any votes on types of dressings and sauces I should try to make on my next meal prep session?

[gravity_grrl]

Water it is then. [She says and fills his glass with water, her own with lemonade which is fresh and homemade from a recipe she got from her Mama when they were down visiting.]

Hrmm maybe some kind of spicy peanut sauce for stir frys? I went to a cool vegetarian place with Sarah last week and they had this tofu stir fry that had a sauce like that which was pretty tasty.

[She tips him a wink.]

It actually made me not hate tofu.

[oldmanfive]

Okay I can try and look up some recipes for stir fry sauces.

[ He says with a nod as he goes to put their plates on the table. He chuckles as she winks at him.]

What you mean you haven't enjoyed any of the crispy tofu dishes I've made in the past?

[ He teases as he's never really expected her to adopt his diet given he was doing it to calm down his digestive system overall. ]

Sarah must be continually surprised at how willing you've become to try new vegan dishes.

[gravity_grrl]

Of course I've enjoyed your crispy tofu but it still tastes like tofu.

[She says with a giggle because while she has adapted to his diet more and more she's never really going to like the taste of tofu unless it's totally masked.]

She's both totally shocked and totally smug about me being so willing to eat veggie and vegan dishes.

[oldmanfive]

When did you turn into a picky eater?

[ He teases as he goes to take a seat at the table. He laughs at hearing her friend Sarah is likely teasing her over the new diet choices.]

I get why people are so enthusiastic about the vegan and vegetarian diets now that I've been pretty strictly vegan. It is more sustainable, but some of them get to abrasive about it. Of course, no one will listen if they get lectured about their diet.

[gravity_grrl]

That's exactly it and when we were younger that was what Sarah did, she would always lecture me or make snarky comments which you know, made me just dig in my heels even more just to piss her off.

I mean you know how stubborn and upset I can get if I think someone is pulling a 'I'm smarter than you are' card.

[oldmanfive]

I know, trust me you aren't the only one who reacts that way. It's one of the reasons I didn't say anything about my diet change at first.

[ He admits, since he got so much shit for everything else. Going vegetarian abd then vegan didn't feel like a fight worth having. ]

It was just easier to say nothing about what I eat.

[gravity_grrl]

Well I fully support you going vegan, within the span of us dating I've noticed a difference in both your body, mood and skin.

[She says and then wiggles her eyebrows at him.]

And your energy levels.

[oldmanfive]

My mood hasn't changed because of my diet. That more has to do with my overall circumstances changing.

[ He's happier because he has her in his life. Things have been much better, since they've been together. ]

[gravity_grrl]

[She smiles and leans in to kiss his cheek.]

I'll take that to mean that you are happy with our life, babe?

[oldmanfive]

Of course, I'm happy with our life.

[ He chuckles as he gestures toward her half naked self. ]

How can I not be happy when my future wife feels comfortable enough to eat lunch half naked?

[gravity_grrl]

[She giggles and shimmies her breasts at him slightly.]

I love that I can stroll around topless or naked in our amazing big house. Well I mean, provided the blinds are shut but still!

It feels great.

Speaking of our big amazing house though, I was thinking of planting some mint and catnip outside.

[oldmanfive]

This is our forever home for a reason.

[ He quips with a chuckle and a sly grin. ]

We don't have mint in the garden already?

[ He asks confused, since he thought they had gotten all the various herbs for their garden already. ]

In any case, I'm always down to add more plants to our little garden and well I'm sure the girls will love having home grown catnip.

[gravity_grrl]

We did but something got into it a few weeks ago and butchered it, I thought it was going to bounce back but nope.

[She explains and then smiles as she looks over at their kitty girls.]

Oh they'll love it almost too much and we'll have to make sure they aren't left alone out there with it.

[oldmanfive]

If that's the case we should probably hold off on adding more mint plants. Until we figure out what is coming after it.

[ He smiles as he glances over to the cats dozing on the their tower in the corner. ]

Well it shouldn't be too long before we can get that Catio constructed for them.

[gravity_grrl]

How should we do that? Cameras?

[Roxy grins.]

I am SO excited to get that done, they are going to love it so much.

[oldmanfive]

We can always hire a gardener to check out the damage. They might know if we need to call pest control or if we can handle it ourselves.

[ He suggests since the whole garden thing was new for both of them. ]

They really are, the contractor has done several already. If the one they create for the girls is close to the ones in their portfolio. The girls are going to be in kitty bliss

[gravity_grrl]

Kay, I'll make a note of it in my phone so we don't forget.

That's exactly what I want for them, they're both such good girls they deserve to be as spoiled and blissfully happy as I am.

[oldmanfive]

It's what we both want for them. I never thought of myself as an animal person, but at this point I think it is clear that those two cats have me wrapped around their paws.

[ He glances over to the cats lounging on their cat tower in the corner of the kitchen. ]

[gravity_grrl]

[Roxy laughs and nods, giving him a playful nudge.]

Oh, totally!
You are a full on Cat-Daddy.

[oldmanfive]

[ He laughs at that, leaning over to press a kiss to her chin. ]

I'm sucker for our fur babies and their beautiful Cat Momma.

[gravity_grrl]

Aww you're so sweet to all three of us.

[She says and leans her head against his, making a soft purring sound in the back of her throat.]

I love you Five, and so do the kitties.

[oldmanfive]

[ He chuckles as he presses a kiss to the tip of her nose. ]

I love you too, my half naked angel. And you know those kitties love you to bits.

ooc: shall we end this thread here?

[gravity_grrl]

Yeah, I know.

[She says with a giggle and leans in to catch Five's lips in a soft kiss, happy that she finally has a secure and loving home and family. One that she knows she can count on when the day finally comes when they expand it further.]
