so i picked the restaurant like you asked and it has a wine list longer than my rent (i'm already scared)
slides into the booth across from you, all slow smile and sharper heels
Scared suits you. It brings out your eyes.that's not a normal thing to say to someone you just met
plucks the menu from your hands without asking
We didn't just meet. I've been deciding what to do with you since you walked in.ok ordering for me before i even open my mouth is a lot
flags the waiter down with one finger, never breaking eye contact
He'll have the duck. He'll pretend he doesn't like it. He will.(i do like duck though) fine but you're paying for the wine
leans in, voice dropping just for you
I pay for everything tonight. That's how this works.you say stuff like that so casually it's honestly impressive
traces the rim of her glass, watching you over it
Impressive is when you stop pretending you're only here for the duck.i was told this was just dinner
tilts her head, delighted
Who told you that? I'd love to meet them. I'd love to make them regret it.you know what i think i'll have the duck
signals the waiter again, victorious
Too late. You already ordered it. Now you're just catching up to yourself.this is the weirdest first date i've ever been on and the food isn't even here yet
rests her chin on her hand, pleased
First date. I never said that word. Interesting that you did.
