Claws, Fangs, and Fur, Oh My!
First Date
I walked to the café and sat down with my hot chocolate in the corner, I stared out the window and it began to snow. "I should have brought a heavier jacket" I mumbled to myself, its December in New Jersey and im wearing short-sleeves, with a thin coat, what was I thinking? I was brought out of my thoughts by a man sitting down across from me, I turned my head to look at him. I was right, he was attractive. "Hey" he said smiling, I smiled back. "Its nice to finally put a face to the name, Mikey has been begging me non-stop to go out with you." I laughed a little, "Same here, hes always been a persistant one, since he was a kid" he said reminising, "I like how close you guys are, I wish my brother and I were like that" I sighed- suddenly realizing what I said I freaked out a bit. "Why? What happened to prevent that?" He said suddenly concerned, "Oh, he just never liked me much thats all. Its not a very good table conversation, um- hows work?" I asked "Oh its going great! Im just starting a new comic! Hows your job?" "Not very well actually, I can barely make rent so I have to work another job" I sighed, "Im sorry, if you ever have trouble you could stay with me, I have a spare bedroom so its not like youd be sleeping on the couch or anything" he smiled and reached out and held my hand reassuringly. "Thanks, it means a lot, I really appreciate it. But, you dont have to, I know youre only doing this because your brother asked you to." I said putting my hand in my lap. "No no no! Youve got it all wrong! I asked him! I saw you walking home with my brother from the studio once and I thought you guys were dating so I asked him how he got such a beautiful girl. He told me that you guys have known each other since high school and that hed been looking to set you up with someone, so I took him up on that oupportunity." He explained, I felt my cheeks heat up, and a blush creep onto my face. "Im sorry I got defensive, the last time I went on a date was probably in high school and Mikes was trying to be a good friend. This just never happens." I said smiling sadly, we talked for about another hour and a half and found out we have a lot in common. "Oh shit! Im going to be late for work!" I said looking at the clock, I threw my coat on, "Wait! Let me drive you, its the least I can do for taking up all your damn time" he said putting his jacket on. "Oh- im flattered but its not very far," I said remembering I work at a strip club for christ sake. "No, I insist" he said dragging me to his car, "where do you work?" "Oh- I um- work at uh- Pleasures- its just down the block." I mumbled "I didnt picture you in that kind of atmosphere," he said sounding slighty disappointed. "Neither did I, but it gives me just enough to pay the bills so I suck it up." I said quite embaressed. "Well, my offer still stands," he smiled at me and I nearly melted. "Thanks- so much, for everything, I had a great time." I smiled slightly, "No problem, can I see you again?" I went wide-eyed. "R-really you want to? Um, yeah, you have my number now, so you can call me whenever." I said "Great!" He kissed my cheek and parked so I could get out of the car, I was blushing like an idiot. "I cant wait to see you again!" I smiled and waved as I left him.
