Logfile from Brass&Steel.

Zach is sitting on a bench in the rosegarden, playing guitar. The music is
softly melancholic and temperamental at the same time.

Ada pads up behind Zach and watches over his shoulder for a while.

Zach turns his head somewhat to see who's standing behind him. He smiles a
slow, loving smile when he sees who it is. He never stops playing though.
The music keeps on coming. It sounds South American.

Ada kisses the top of Zach's head. "Hello, love. You're very good."

Zach turns his head so that he manages to sneak a kiss on her chin. "Hey
apple blossom. Come sit."

Ada climbs over the back of the bench and slides down next to Zach. "Thank
you."

Ada grins, her eyes twinkling. "You like my new outfit?"
 
She has on a traditional jockey's uniform: light, form-fitting beige
pants, a white turtleneck that's almost completely covered by a
black-and-gold pullover blazer, black gloves, and black calf-high boots
that seem to be almost as form-fitting as the pants. Her helmet and crop
are conspicuously absent, but then, so is her horse.

Zach smiles broadly. "Hyup baby. Can't wait to get it off you. But isn't
it a bit warm?"

Ada kisses Zach's cheek. "Lightweight. It's perfect for this time of the
evening."

Sarah enters the park.

Sarah has arrived.

Zach and Ada are sitting on a bench in the rosegarden. Zach is playing his
guitar, Ada is snuggling next to him on the bench.

The late afternoon sun spills over the park in a blinding golden light.
Out of this light comes Sarah, strolling along the paths that wind among
the tombstones.

Ada looks up and waves to Sarah, at the same time getting up.

Zach looks up too and smiles. "Hey, Sarah!"

Sarah looks over as she is waved at and raises an eyebrow as she sees Ada
but waves back and wanders over, smiling as she sees Zach. "Hi you two."

Ada says, "How are you?"

Ada smiles and steps aside, clearing the way to the bench.

Sarah sits down on the bench and shrugs "I'm good, just enjoying the day.
You?'

Zach keeps on magicing sweet, soft music out of his guitar. "How /you/
doin'?" he says with a sparkling grin to Sarah in his best Joey
impression.

Ada says, "I was walking in the park and wanted to see who was playing the
guitar. Imagine my surprise when I found out it was Zach!"

Sarah chuckles "Ah, but how many people play the guitar this well."

Ada says, "I didn't even know he played."

Sarah smiles "I've heard him play a few times. As you can tell he's quite
good."

Zach chuckles. "I don't play it /that/ well, darlings. But thank you
anyhoo."

Ada nods.

Ada says, "Well, I'll, um, let you be, shall I? I'm sure you have more
important things to do than hang out with me."

Ada smiles brilliantly and starts to sidle away.

Sarah nods, seeming to perk up a bit as Ada starts to edge away "See you
around. Sayhi to Hachilah for me."

Ada's smile falters. "I... I will."

Zach yanks Ada gently to him and sneaks a kiss onto her cheek. "See you,
'round babe"

Ada blushes and walks off between the gravestones without further comment.
Ada heads out of the park.

Zach reclines back on the bench and smiles to Sarah. "So how was your day,
dear?"

Sarah looks over at Zach and leans back agaist the bench "So, how are you
doing?"

Zach laughs.

You say, "Right.. Beauty before age, please. You first."

Sarah laughs "Oh pretty good, I closed kinda early today. It's too nice a
day to be working."

 Sarah is dressed for the warm weather. Tight white shorts cling to her
legs and rear, short enough to expose almost all of her leg to the sun. On
top she is dressed in sleeveless yellow tank top that's cut short to
expose her midriff. From the lack of straps and the way the top hangs it's
quite clear that she is not wearing a bra.

Zach nods happily. "Yeah, it sure is beautiful. And I'm good. I was away
from town for a week, and I actually mised the damn place! IT's good to be
here."

Sarah tilts her head "Where'd you go?

Zach shifts a bit to balance his guitar better, and keeps on playing. "I
went up to Omaha for a job."

Sarah blinks "Kinda far for a towing job isn't it?"

Zach shrugs. "Nah. It was an old buddy of mine who needed some help. An me
being my own master, I just upped and went. It's nice to be able to help
out once in a while."

Sarah smiles "That's sweet of you." She glances at her watch "Hey, you
hungry at all?"

Zach concentrates on his inner Zach for a second. "Hmm... Yup, I rather
think I am! Whatcha want?"

Sarah shifts a bit "Well as a matter of fact, I was hoping I could lure
you over to my place for dinner."

Zach smiles as he lets the melody fade to an end. "Wellwellwell... So what
sort of culinary delights have you planned for luring me?"

Sarah grins "Italian food."

You say, "Well that does it! I'm lured!"

Zach rises and offers Sarah his arm.

Sarah blinks and then grins "Well, great." She stands and takes the
offered arm "One car or two?"

Zach smiles warmly. "One. I don't have my truck here."

Sarah grins "This way then."

Sarah heads out of the park.

[They go to Sarah's place]

Sarah's Apartment -- Living Room(#18RJn)

	The pleasant-looking living room of a solidly middle-class
apartment. Light shines though a window that looks out over the street,
spilling across a carpet of soft white shag. Scattered around the room are
a few comfortable looking chairs and a large white couch. In front of the
couch is a small, low wooden table, and across from it is a large TV. On
the white walls of the room are a few framed pictures of the outdoors. A
hallway exit is at the far side.

Sarah unlocks the door and lets them in "Well heres my place"

Zach looks around. "Wow. It's nice, Sarah. You really wouldn't expect this
when looking on the outside of the house."

Sarah grins "Of course, keeps people from breaking in you know." She steps
into the living room "Can I get you anything to drink?

Zach grins. "I wouldn't say no to a cold beer, if you're offering."

Sarah winks at him "That's exactly what I'm offering." She heads into
kitchen calling over her shoulder "Feel free to look around."

You say, "Thanks, hon!"

Zach drifts around and looks at stuff while awaiting his beer and his
hostess.

Sarah returns from the kitchen with two beers "I started water boiling for
the pasta."

Zach twinkles a warm smile at her and accepts his beer. "Thank you,
darlin'. Is there anything you need help with in the kitchen? I love
cooking."

Sarah grins "Well you can help me slice up the bread and garlic it."

Zach happies. "Oh goodie! I hope you don't have any such silly concepts as
'too much garlic'? Or maybe you do, working in a posh shop and all..?"

Zach grins teasingly.

Sarah plants a fake shocked look on her face "Too much garlic. No such
thing. Thats why they invented breath mints." She pops open her beer and
takes a drink "Come on"

Zach ambles after the lady and looks around the kitchen for ingredients
and Tools.

Sarah pulls out the loaf of good french bread, the butter and garlic
powder. She cuts half the bread and hands it to Zach along with a knife
"Here you go."

Zach grabs the knife and the ingredients and starts garlicking. He uses a
very liberal amount for me miracle-spice. And he just can't help himself -
he just /has/ to steal a bite. "Mmmmmm! Heavenly!"

Sarah laughs as she slices and butters and garlics next to him. "Oh wait I
know." She returns to the living room and soon Zach can hear music filling
the room. She returns and resumes her duties, dancing and swinging her
hips, bumping them into the Zach from time to time."

Zach chuckles and starts shuffling along to the music too. "What's that
you're playing?"

Sarah says, "A nice mix of blues and jazz." She turns on the oven and
starts poping the bread in.""

Zach hands Sarah the rest of the bread. "Groovy! So what will we magick up
for the sauce?"

Sarah says, "I'm afraid I use store bought sauce, but it's not to bad."
She pulls a thing og ground beef out of the freezer and puts it in a pan
to brown on top of the stove. "Oh and we can't forget the salad." She
starts breaking up a head of lettuse in a bowl."

Zach hunts around in ther fridge and her cupboards for more stuff and
spices to be added to the sauce. He looks very enthusiastic about it, and
takes his time getting /all/ the interesting stuff out in the open.

<OOC> Zach says, "So Sarah has a chance to stop him:)"

Sarah raises an eyebrow and simply watches him "Err, what are you planing
on puttinginto the sauce?"

Zach it in the process of opening bottles and glasses and sniffing or
tasting the contents. "Well, a store sauce is just like a starting point,
y'know? You can put all sorts of stuff into it to make it even yummier - I
mean you have lots of neat things. Basil, cayenne, merian, ginger, thyme,
mint, cinnamon..."

Sarah looks slightly horrified "We are not puting ginger ot cinnamon into
my sauce "Basil yes, but the others...well..."

Zach looks like a little boy that has been told that he can't ride the
carousel at the fairground. "Butbut...Ginger is /excellent/ for this. IT
makes lots and lots of taste?"

Sarah says firmly "Yes, it does, but it's not a taste that appeals to me.
Can we leave it out." She starts tossing in the noodles and calls over her
shoulder "How hungry are you?

Zach sags. "Okay, you're the boss of this kitchen..." He puts the
offending ingredients away and starts adding the approved herbs to the
sauce. It smelled nice before - it starts smelling wonderful now... "I'm
quite hungry, actually. Just be liberal!" He grins.

Sarah takes an appreachive sniff of the sauce "Very nice!" She throws in
noodles with a generous hand and stirs them "Where'd you learn to cook."

Zach stirs the sauce, then puts it aside to simmer gently. "I didn't
actually learn it. It's more like being self-taught. And I absolutely suck
at following recipies. I just throw stuff together and cook. Sometimes,
according to my victims, I fail miserably. I like to think of it as extra
interesting dinners myself."

Sarah laughs "Well just as long as you don't set off the smoke alarm." She
pulls the now crisp garlic bread out of the oven and turns it off. Still
dancing to the music she stirs the noodles.

Zach chuckles and puts his hand on her hips, treading a three-second dance
with her. "Noodles done yet? Want me to grind some cheese?"

Sarah flashes him a bright smile "This is fun. Huh, cheese, sure go
ahead."

Zach dances his way over to the fridge, entices the chees to come out and
play and starts hunting for a grinder. When the Tool has benn located, he
starts griding the cheese with fast, precise movements. "Italian food,
like asian, is just brilliant. It's so easy to make and to get it to taste
real good. It's one of the things that make me wanna settle down
occationately. It's kinda hard to cook if you don't have a kitchen."

Zach considers. "But making bacon and beans over the campfire is good
too..." You say, "...if you have nice spices..:)"

Sarah chuckles "Good point, as long as you're not sharing the space with
anyone. Beans in a tent, not good." She peers at the noodle "Yep, they're
done." She strains them and pops them back in the pop "Hows the sauce
coming along?"

Zach bows magnificently to Sarah and presents The Sauce. "The Sauce is
ready, m'lady."

Sarah grins and whips out two plates, and forks and a ladle and starts
dishing out the noodles and sauce, but not with out taking a quick taste
of the sauce "Heavenly."

You say, "You better belive it baby!"

Zach grins. "Eat in here or in the living room?"

Sarah says, "OOps forgot one thing." She pulls out a bottle of wine and
opens it, letting it breath as she hunts for glasses "Living room, more
room.""

Zach carries the food out and places it on the table. He arranges
everything faintly Feng Shuese so it looks cool.

Sarah smiles and brings out the two full wineglasses and sets them down on
the table before siting down.

Zach sits down across the table from Sarah and sighs happily. "Perfect.
Cool table, good food, good wine and beautiful woman. I'm just the
luckiest man on earth!"

Sarah chuckles and waggles her eyebrows at him "Hey keep up the
compliments and you may get even lucker this evening."

Zach smiles flirtingly at her. "Oo.. Better and better. Cheers.." He lifts
his glass to her.

Sarah taps her glass on his "Cheers." and takes a sip "Mmm not bad for a
store bought brand." She then flirts back "Well, I hope you didn;t have
any other plans for the evening my good sir."

Zach drinks some wine and mmms. "I've had far worse.. And no, I didn't
have any specific plans for the evening, princess."

Sarah sips her wine "Mmm maybe we could make some." She takes a bite of
her pasta and sighs in pleasure "I don't know what you did with the sauce
but it's great."

Zach expertly twirls his fork in the pasta and shovels in a big mouthful.
After chewing and swalloing he smiles to her. "I just put some stuff in
it. Everybody can do that. You have your cupboards full of neat spices and
herbs. IT makes cooking all the more fun!"

Sarah laughs "Yep, I guess so." She munches on the garlic bread happily
"This turned out good as well."

You say, "Mhm. Of course the sauce would have been more /interesting/ if
you's have let me put the cinnamon and the ginger in it, but..."

Zach sniffs.

Sarah reaches out and pats his hand "There there, perhaps some other time.

Zach chuckles and digs in more food. "Ok, I might take you up on that."

Sarah grins "I'm sure it will be interesting." She takes a few more bites
and a sip of wine "So what sort of favor did you have to do for your
friend?

Zach smiles and wipes his mouth with a paper napkin. "Oh, there were some
cars and a coupla bikes that needed fixing. He was on a deadline and stood
no chance of finishing it all by himself."

Sarah nods "How kind of you to drive all that way." She finishes up her
pasta and the last of wine and leans back with a content sigh.

Zach smiles. "That's what friends are for, my dear. Another time it might
be me needing help." He leans back in his chair with the wineglass and a
piece of garlic bread for nibbles.

Sarah glances at his plate to see if he's finished.

Zach is quite finished. The plate is almost polished:)

Sarah chuckles and reaches for his plate and hers, taking them into the
kitchen as she starts cleaning up.

You say, "You need any help with that, princess?"

Sarah calls over her shoulder "Sure, if you want too."

Zach sighs and folds himself out of the chair and into the kitchen. He
grabs a cloth and stands ready to dry the dishes.

Sarah passes him the wet dishes and washes away untill things are mostly
clean. Then she looks around and says "Good enough"

Zach puts the dishes away. "Do you have any more of that wine?"

Sarah nods and points to the half filled bottle "Lets take it out into the
living anfd sit on the couch and cuddle" She winks "Or more."

Zach smiles warmly to her. "You wanna cuddle? Hey - I'm good at that." He
grabs the bottle and offers his arm to the lady, before they parade back
into the livingroom to sit.

Sarah takes the arm and lets him lead her out to the living room.

Zach sits down with Sarah and fills both thei glasses with wine. He gives
her her glass and raises his own. "To two magnificent cooks!"

Sarah takes her glass and clinks it against his "Hear hear"

Zach drinks and relaxes back on the couch while sneaking an arm around
Sarah.

Sarah happy snuggles into his arm as she drinks her wine and then slips
her own arm around his waist as she listens to the music.

Zach smiles down to her. "Happy, princess?"

Sarah chuckles "Oh yes, quite." She rests her head on his shoulder, one
hand idly playing with his shirt.

Zach strokes her shoulder and arm gently. "I'm glad." He sips more wine.

Sarah smiles "Know what will make me even happer?"

Zach smiles softly to her. "No, but I have a feeling you're about to tell
me, peach blossom."

Sarah smiles into his eyes "Kiss me."

Zachs eyes sparkle kindly, merrily as he meets her gaze. He puts his glass
on the table. "I'll be honored to..." Gently putting a finger under her
chin, he raises her face up toward his, and bends forward to meet her lips
with a long, slow kiss.

Sarah leans into it with a contented sigh. She's a very good kisser

Zach pulls her closer and embraces her with one arm, the other supporting
the hand thats lovingly caressing her cheek.

Sarah mmm's happyly and slides her arms around him as she kisses him
deeply.

Zach scoops her into his lap. Scoop, scoop. Then he concentrates fully on
the kiss again. He starts to carefully explore her lips with his tounge
and lips and teeth. All the time being gentle and mayhaps just a little
bit teasing.

Sarah seems to like the teasing as she snuggles into his lap and slides
her tounge between his teeth.

Zach moves on to explore the corners of her mouth and then starts to kiss
his way down her neck, nibbling her earlobe in passing.

Sarah happly slides her hands up the back of his shirt as they kiss,
brushing her lips against his cheek.

Zach moves his hand up into her hair and pulls her head back, thus gaining
full neck access. He draws a deep breath. "Mmm.... I love your perfume..."

Sarah mummers faintly "Thanks" as she focuses on kissing his neck. Her
hands the meantime have found his chest.

Zach strokes har back and waist. "You're a very good kisser, princess.."
he mumbles, finding her lips again.

Sarah smiles, pressing her lips to his "Why thank you, I do try." She
keeps sliding her hands over his chest.

Zach embraces her tightly. "You wanna help me unbutton my shirt?"

Sarah grins and does so, slowly and seductively

Zach caresses her hands while she manipulates the buttons, and strokes her
arms slowly. He even sneaks a kiss or two onto her fingers.

Sarah smiles and carefuly slides out of her own top as she pushes Zach's
top off

Oho! Zach watches in apt facination and then becomes quite busy exploring
more of Sara's anathomy. He is also quite aware of her reactions as to
what she likes and what she doesn't seem to enjoy. He tends to take the
lead a lot, being a natural Alpha male:)

Sarah lets hims take the lead but is eager to find out what he likes. She
reponds eagerly to his touches and is very good in bed, very good indeed.

Zach is also very good in bed and goes on for a long, good time. One might
even say he's creative in finding out what makes Sarah squeal and squirm:)

Sarah is less creative but is happy to accept the actions, she's simmply
very very skilled.

Zach goes on loving Sarah until she seems satisfied.

<OOC> Zach says, "If that is possible... ;)"

Sarah does seem satisfied and is happy to snuggle in his arms afterwards.

<OOC> Sarah needs to take off

<OOC> Zach says, "Thanks for the rp!"

They snuggle happily. 

The End.
