- Aiden -
As soon as she opened the door, I stuck my hand out. “Hi. I’m Aiden.”
Her face broke into a smile.
“You must be Lucy.”
She took my hand and shook it. “Nice to meet you.”
“Are you ready to go or-”
“I just need to grab my purse.” She looked me up and down. “You can come in for a second.”
I stepped inside and stuck my hands in my pockets. “Nice place.”
I could see her shaking her head as she walked down the hall towards her bedroom. My eyes drifted to the backs of her legs. They were toned but feminine, and they made me want to follow her.
She appeared a moment later with a small purse strung over her shoulder. “Ready to go?”
“Yeah,” I said, wishing she would offer me a drink and insist we skip the foreplay of dinner and go straight to the main event. At the same time, though, I was curious to go out with her. I knew she dated pretty regularly, and I was keen to see what it was like to be with her in a romantic setting.
While she locked the entrance to her building, I made my way to the passenger door and opened it for her.
The corner of her mouth curled up as she walked in front of the car. “Thanks,” she said, stepping inside. “That’s very gallant of you.”
I smiled down at her, appreciating what a good looking shot gun she was for the first time. “I’m a gallant sort of guy,” I said. Then I closed the door and walked around to the driver’s side.
“So where are we going?” she asked.
“A friend of mine just opened a new rooftop restaurant downtown. Thought we might check it out.”
She raised her eyebrows. “Cool.”
I tilted my head towards her as I turned the key. “Unless you want to go straight back to my place and get stuffed there?”
Her cheeks turned red as she shook her head. “You were doing so well.”
I shrugged and put the car into drive. “You look really pretty by the way.”
“Thanks,” she said, looking out the window.
“Even prettier than your pictures.”
She looked back at me. “You look about the same.”
I smiled. “Go easy on me, will you? It’s been a while since I went on a first date.”
“Did you just get out of a relationship or something?”
I was delighted that she was playing along. “Yeah.”
“How long were you together?”
“Too long.”
She pursed her lips. “So you’re not looking for anything serious right now?”
