That was not how it should have turned out. I wonder just where it went wrong.

[Something bumped against Nikola's phone as it starts recording. The normally well put together man was surprisingly dressed in a nice T-shirt. Or, it would have been a nice t-shirt if it didn't suddenly have blueberry pie splattered across it. And flower... and perhaps a bit of crust clinging to his hair without him realizing it.

As for Nikola, he was currently attempting to clean himself up with paper towel with pie filling and crust splattered across his arms and a bit on his face. Surprisingly despite being splattered with the obviously steaming filling, he wasn't burned in the slightest. The remains of the pie were on the counter near him and somehow.. it seemed to have exploded outward and was still rather hot. Honestly, Nikola was NOT sure how that happened. Usually he was rather good at making pies... and baking in general.

It takes a few moments for him to clean the splatter off his face and then he notices that his phone was on. The very same phone he had been looking up recipes on earlier. He sighed softly and reached over to turn it off. Did this really need to be broadcast for all to see? Really?]

Not a problem if it did. As long as my jacket isn't stained, the rest I can clean or replace easy enough.

Fair enough.

[He smiled a little before moving to grab a piece of paper towel to wipe some more of the filling off of his arm that just dripped there.]

...However, we do still have the ceiling to contend with. Any ideas?

Yup! I picked something up to help with that on the way!

[She quickly went to her backpack and pulled out....a swiffer wet mop that would no doubt reach the ceiling. How the hell had she fit that in her bag?]

Here we go! This will reach the ceiling. Just have to put the cleaning cloth on it.

[By now, he really shouldn't be surprised about the things she pulled from the bag, but, he really couldn't help but stare as she pulled some sort of.. Mop? Out of her bag.]

...You had that in there and don't have a spare set of clothes? One would think with the amount of space within that bag, you would have something just in case you accidentally ruined what you were wearing or something along those lines.

[She smirked.]

C'mon, let's just get this cleaned up.

[Honestly, she did have a set of clothes in her bag. A few sets, but he didn't need to know that. Better if she showered back in the TARDIS still.

Either way, she'd put the cloth on and start working on cleaning the ceiling.]

[He frowned and had a sneaking suspicion that she was lying to him about the clothes at this point while she set up the mop and worked on the ceiling.]

You could have just declined instead of making up the excuse of not having clothing with you.

[Jenny slowed in her mopping and frowned, glancing at him for a moment.]

Would you have taken no for an answer and not have tried to convince me anyway?

[He raised an eyebrow slightly.]

Yes, I would have accepted it. I am a gentleman and where yes, I would like a tumble between the sheets, I'm not going to press you into something you are unwilling to do.

[Jenny didn't respond to his answer, instead returning to mopping the ceiling, looking to get it done.]

[He sighed, thinking he may have over stepped a boundary somewhere...He turned back to cleaning up what's dripped on the floor while she takes care of the ceiling.]

[It seemed they'd be finishing it in silence, but it wouldn't take too long to finish it at least with that being all that was left.]

[Apparently.. though towards the end he thought to break the silence.]

Thank you for helping. Hopefully the next time I decide to bake, it's not as explosive and perhaps we can share the delicious results.

[She managed to pull herself together to smile at him.]

Yeah, try not to explode any more food, alright.

[She threw away the cleaning cloth and put the mop back in her bag before pausing and glancing at him.]

....Hey, maybe I'll take you up on that offer to use the shower after all....if you don't mind.

[He smiled slightly.]

I'll try not to. Cleaning up a mess like this a second time is hardly my idea of how to spend an afternoon.

[He was wrapping up the paper towels he used to clean up the floor and then paused when she decided to take the shower after all.]

I don't mind at all, I did offer after all.

[He tossed the towels away and then motioned to another part of the apartment.]

Please, feel free to use whatever you need. I shall remain out here until you're done if you like.

[Yes, he fully intended on giving her privacy while she took the shower despite how much he'd rather join her.]

[She nodded and thanked him before she grabbed her backpack and headed towards where he'd indicated to get a shower. It wouldn't be a long one, just long enough to get everything off her and get clean, but when she came out, she'd be squeezing the towel around the bulk of her hair, drying it off, and would be in a separate change of clothes, this time jeans and a red tank top. She had to admit, it felt good to be clean.]

Thanks for letting me use the shower.

[By the time she got out, he had finished putting things away and even put on a shirt and changed into jean himself. The shirt was a dark blue that hugged his torso. When she spoke, he looked up from where he was sitting.]

Not a problem. After all, you did help me with the mess so it was only right I allowed you to clean up if you so desired.

[She grinned at him.]

Yes, well hopefully you don't make another mess I have to help you clean up.

[Oh look, she might be checking him out again, but would catch herself fast.]

Well, if there's anything you need help with again, just let me know.

[She wasn't the only one checking the other out. Nikola just trying not to be obvious about it. Whether he was succeeding or not... who knew.]

Well, if I do make another mess I will let you know.. but, unless you're interested in coffee or something... I guess that's it for now.

No, not really.

[She paused for a moment before adding.]

I'd be interested in some tea though. Never been much for coffee.

[For a moment, he thought she might be rejecting his offer again before he realized she accepted. He smiled slightly.]

Then Tea it is. There's a lovely little shop not far from here that has good sweets to go with their drinks... So, shall we?
