That's something I keep telling myself, but then something always comes up. We can't predict what will happen. People will always be in need and I will always want to help.
And that is what I happen to love about you. Always willing to help others, no matter the cost to yourself.
However, I think there is enough down time for you and I to have a few days for ourselves. I won't feel as bad giving you less time to sleep when you don't have to get up for work.
I am glad that i can get you to come around to the idea. Perhaps I will even spoil you. Homemade lunch wnd dinner. Breakfast in bed should we get up early enough.
It's my goal to make it the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation possible for you.
Oh, dear! It's a dangerous thing to start spoiling me. Who knows what you might turn me into? I can't grow TOO used to it. We should take turns making food.
I may turn you into someone who is comfortable being a bit selfish instead of completely selfless, which wouldn't be a bad thing. But how about this, we can cook together sometimes.
Though I make no promises that I will keep my hands to myself the whole time we are in the kitchen together.
I can't imagine that you would. As long as you don't mind a little whap with a wooden spoon every now and then, than I suppose we can combine forces to cook.
I've been taking stock of the Watchpoint's medical supplies. We'll need to order a great deal, which will require the funds to do it. I'm not sure Winston had a plan for that.
In his defense, I think the call and response likely went better and faster than he expected. I think it might take a bit to get things up to speed, but we can probably find avenues to help out if we reach out to certain people and organizations.
[ Would she be charmed if he did? Sure. But would she want him to make the effort? Well, Angela can be patient and doesn't tend to be clingy, so she's fine if he doesn't. ]
[He didn't plan to leave her waiting for too long. He's learned how to navigate this base pretty well in his time here, so it doesn't take him all that long to get to her. Pushing open the door and stepping it, he looked around while closing it behind him.]
Angela? You haven't gotten too lost in this place, have you?
[As he reaches her and she tugs him in for that deep kiss, he curls his arms around her and kisses her back. Possibly even moving to press her against one of the nearby shelves as the kiss grows deeper. This was exactly what he was hoping for when he arrived.]
[ She giggles against his lips as he moves them and rests her hands lightly on his chest. Were this place not mostly empty of staff, she would never risk being caught in a position like this, but with so few of them here she thinks she can risk it.
Besides, he's a very good kisser. But once she needs to stop for air, she pulls away slightly, gazing up into his eyes. ]
This is a very good end to the day. I think you must be showing me a preview of what's in store for me during my vacation, hm?
[Baptiste wouldn't normally do this either if there was a high chance of someone coming across them at work. They did need to maintain professionalism and all. That said, everyone was mostly checked out for the day and..being a little bad and doing this on the clock felt a bit thrilling, if hes being honest.
He takes in a breath when she breaks the kiss. Following that, he lets out a happy sigh and then a chuckle.]
You can definitely look at it that way. I plan to spoil you with as much affection as possible.
[He leans in and steal another quick kiss from her.]
[Optimism is definitely one of his strong suits. You first ha veto believe everything will be okay and what you do will help if you actually want it to manifest as such. And Angela has been such an inspiration to him anyway, even before the two of them worked together.]
If you are finished up here, we can. Have you already let Winston know you will be taking a few days for yourself?
[He can't imagine she will get any push back on it, especially when they know she will come in if they really need her.]
[Baptiste gives a small nod. He knows he personally is glad to hear she is taking time off. Even if he wasn't going to benefit from her doing so, he'd still be happy to see her rest, knowing just how hard she works.
He takes her hand into his own and starts to lead her along.]
So what is the first thing we should do once we get home? Grab a shower?
[ Angela rests her head against his shoulder for a moment as they walk, content to let him handle things. It takes a lot of trust for her to allow someone else to hold the reins, so to speak, and speaks of in what high regard she holds him. ]
[Baptiste is happy to have gotten her trust to this level, especially given his past. It was something he had been forthcoming about, but anyone that has spent more than ten minutes with him knows the sort of person he is.
He taps on his phone, selecting her usual.]
I'm going with the Laal Maas. It was really good the last time I got it.

Goodness, no. I'm saying perhaps I need to take time off from work.

But you have a point. And you will let me sleep in, won't you?
no subject
There is a possibility that I might. So long as you are sleep in in my arms, I would see no reason to stop you.
no subject
I think that would be a wonderful place to find rest. Ideal, really. I'm liking this idea of a vacation.

no subject
I'm sure I can follow your voice back to the door.
[ It's said in a joking tone, as this place isn't warehouse large, but rather a decently sized room. ]
Or you could come find me and receive a kiss as a reward.
no subject
[The playfulness in his voice is utterly apparent.]
I suppose if it is an incredibly good one, it will be worth it.
[He says before venturing in the direction that her voice came from.]

Good work. Come here.

If you insist.
[ It's a tease and she smiles against his mouth at that second kiss before patting his chest fondly with the tips of her fingers. ]
Shall we head out?

If we find him on the way out, I will tell him. Otherwise I'll send along a message.
