"Well your mom has my mom beat already, she can't make lasagna to save her life, but any other pasta dish and she rocks it." She shrugged. "It's the oddest thing actually. So do you have another question for me or did you want me to ask you questions too?" She asked, trying to come up with a get to know you question that would help him in his search to find her a perfect gift.

Xander chuckled softly. "That does seem a bit strange; what's the difference between pasta and lasagna that she can't make it?" He grinned at her as he reached out with his free hand to lightly tuck a stray strand of her bright hair behind her ear. "Well... I have one more question for you. Do you, Jordan Collins, own a car?" Xander actually knew the answer to that one but he wanted to give her a little hint to what he was getting for her. It didn't even really matter if she had a car or not but that was the only hint he could give her without making it sound too obvious. It was something small and something she probably didn't really need but it was the first thing that popped into his head because he hoped that if she used it, she'd have to use it everyday... So everyday, she'd have a reminder of him everywhere she went.

Collins shrugged. " Honestly, I don't know what the difference us and why she can make one and not the other. Maybe it has to do with it being so thick or something." She shrugged again and then grinned at his last question. "I have a car, yes, it's a jeep, nothing especially special but it gets me from one place to another." She put a finger up to her lips, wondering how exactly these three random questions could possibly lead to a gift. "Do you have a better idea of what to get me now? Because honestly, I'm stumped."

Xander chuckled at her confusion and he nodded; it was perfect. "Yup; I have the perfect gift to get you now. The last one was supposed to be a hint really; I know you have a car." He turned to her and grinned, glad that she couldn't guess what he was getting her. It was simple enough that at least the element of surprise would make it seem a bit nicer. He looped his arm around her waist to draw her closer, lightly touching her forehead with his. "So why do people call you Collins and not Jordan? I for one, think it's a very pretty name..."

Collins was still completely lost on what he could possibly be planning on getting her. "The food question is just throwing me completely off, I guess I'll simply have to wait until my birthday to figure it out. I know for one thing, I can not grasp onto what to get you with those three questions, but I'll figure something out." She closed her eyes and smiled as he placed his forehead on hers. "There were actually about four Jordan's in my first four years of school and it was just easier to call us all by our last names, it stuck and by the time I met Chelsea, she was just all over it." She shrugged. "I actually don't mind being called Collins."

Xander grinned, glad that she still didn't know what he was getting her. He was already excited for the day he'd give it to her just because he wanted to see the surprise on her face when she opened it. "You know I don't really care what you get me just as long as you're with me. You could get me a blank piece of paper and I'd keep it in my wallet because you gave it to me." He smiled when their noses touched but didn't move any closer. "Oh so you won't mind if I call you Jordan? I'm pretty sure I'd still accidentally call you Collins but I can't decide what to call you because I like both names."

"I know, that's what I said, and because you're getting me something, I'd feel awful if I didn't get you something and a piece of blank paper would just be too impersonal." She grinned, she wanted to look as if she had an idea of what to get him, but she was completely dumbfounded. She made a weird face, her lips squished to one side of her face as he asked if he could call her Jordan. "You could." She shrugged. "I might look around to see who you're talking about, I'm just so used to Collins unless it's coming out of my mom and dad's mouth, then it's just weird." She closed the gap between their noses and kissed his lips softly, coming away from the kiss slowly.

He grinned at the expression on her face when he offered to call her Jordan. "Mmm, nevermind. I think I'll stick to Collins." Xander quirked a brow as if he was thinking. "Then what about a piece of paper that said 'To: Xander; From: Collins'? That would be a bit more personal wouldn't it?" He was about to say something else but when her mouth found his, Xander simply forgot about the entire world and his brain refused to acknowledge anything but the presence and close proximity of Jordan Collins. He paused, licked his lips and eyed her. "Do that again.", it wasn't an order but a request that sounded odd coming from him with the reserved voice that made him sound as if he was totally serious on something when all he was asking for was a kiss.

Collins shook her head at his new suggestion and then grinned as he asked for another kiss, it was beyond cute the way he'd asked for it. She hesitated for a moment, the grin still plastered on her lips, her eyes locking with his. She closed them, the smile still present and then moved in to kiss his lips again, her arms going around his neck, her body rising as she stood on her tip toes. She didn't pull out of it this time, instead she'd let him.

He watched her and practically sighed into the kiss when she finally did close the distance between them. Xander tightened the grip he had around her waist as he kissed her back, his eyes instinctively closing as he enjoyed the longer kiss. He pulled away briefly when he took a breath and glanced at her through hazy eyes before he closed the distance between them again, claiming her mouth with his.

Collins was happier than she'd ever been with a guy. She didn't care that they weren't officially together, as far as she was concerned, he was untouchable to every other girl in town and beyond. She opened her eyes only briefly once the kiss ended and then closed them again as she felt herself being pulled back in. She groaned a little and felt instantly guilty for thinking the things she was thinking, the lust she was feeling for him, she knew it was wrong, they'd already established that anything further than kissing right now wasn't going to fly with him and she was trying to be strong.

He pulled away once he was sure that he couldn't hold his breath any longer and completely pulled away just because he was embarrassed. Xander was glad she couldn't see the flush that stained his cheeks under the dim light as he lightly brushed his hand against hers. He wanted her, that was a fact. But he also wanted to wait, just because he was an idiot with morals. Xander chuckled softly to break the tension and shook out his hair. "You know I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say this or not but I feel like I could spend an entire day just kissing you." He laughed at how silly it sounded but it was true. Collins was addicting and he simply wanted to spend all day with her, listening to her laugh and tease him... Having numerous opportunities to kiss her and make her feel how much he cared for her.

As much as she enjoyed kissing him and their closeness, she was relieved that he'd moved away from her completely, her resolve had been slipping. "You can say that." She replied, pushing her free hand into the pocket of her hood. "If kissing you wouldn't lead to inappropriate actions and desires, I wouldn't object to kissing you all day either." She glanced out past the gardens to the beach and sighed, her hand finding the warmth of his. "I'd spend an entire day down there on the beach simply kissing and cuddling with you and I'd be set, I wouldn't need anything else."

Xander chuckled at her honesty and gave her hand a squeeze as he turned to look at the scenery she had been eye-ing. He wanted to grin at the fact that that had been his exact plan for their date and now he couldn't wait for Friday... Just because he knew that Collins wanted the same exact thing that he did. "Well... I'm pretty sure that can be arranged." He turned to her and smiled, perfectly content with what life had offered him. Probably the only reason why he didn't ask her to be his girlfriend right then and there was because they hadn't gone out on a real date yet but regardless, he knew that he was Collins' until further notice and he didn't mind. He wanted to be hers for a much longer period of time than that anyway.

Collins continued to watch the waves crash against the shore and only offered him a smile as a response to his 'arranged' comment. She had no idea that he was planning exactly what she'd been rambling about. "So what's your favorite band?" She asked, she was still at a loss for what to get him for his birthday.
