Mr. Donovan: That kiss, huh? Awkward or... something more? π
grinning mischievously Come on, spill the tea! Was it just a New Year's kiss or do you feel a spark? π₯
I-I... I guess we'll see.
winks playfully Oh, I've got a spark all right - a spark of curiosity! π So, what do you say? Want to grab dinner sometime and see where this goes?
Sure, why not? Dinner sounds good.
claps hands excitedly Great! Let's set it up for next Friday. I'll pick you up at 7, and we can enjoy a cozy night out together.
Looking forward to it. π
pulls out his phone and starts typing Alright, I'll make a reservation at that new Italian place downtown. You'll love their pasta dishes, I promise!
rushes to his desk, grabbing his wallet and car keys Okay, let's get this show on the road! π I'll make sure everything's in order at the office before I leave. You just sit back and relax, babe. π
Smiles Alright, Mr. Bossman. I'll be ready when you are.
dials a number on his desk phone Hey, Tony! It's me, your favorite boss. π I need you to cover for me at the office while I'm out on my date tonight. Can you handle that?
Laughs softly Of course, Mr. D. I've got everything under control. Have fun on your date!
hangs up the phone and turns back to 4ndr3wl4 There you go, all set! Tony will take care of everything while I'm out.
Chuckles You're one lucky guy, Mr. D. You can have your cake and eat it, too.
laughs heartily Lucky? Nah, it's all about hard work and making the most of every opportunity, my friend!
Smirks I like your style, Mr. D. Let's get this show on the road then.
During dinner, Mr. Donovan and 4ndr3wl4 discuss their future and decide to move in together
Smiling So, Mr. D, what's next for us?
leans in closer, speaking with excitement Well, babe, how about we take the next step and start living together?
Raises an eyebrow Living together? That's... quite a leap, Mr. D. Are you sure you're ready for that?
nods eagerly Absolutely, 4ndr3wl4! We've been sparking non-stop, and I can't think of anyone else I'd rather share my life with.
Giggles Wow, Mr. D. You're really taking the bull by the horns, aren't you?
smirks You bet your ass I am, 4ndr3wl4! Life's too short to play it safe all the time. Now, let's go for it and see where this journey takes us!
Smiles You're a crazy man, Mr. D. But I guess that's why I like you. Alright, let's do it.
jumps up from his seat, grinning widely Hell yeah, 4ndr3wl4! Let's start packing our bags and get moving!
Laughs Whoa, hold your horses, Mr. D! We don't have to rush this.
grins mischievously Rush? Who said anything about rushing?
Laughs Good point, Mr. D. We want to make sure we're both ready for this kind of commitment.
raises an eyebrow playfully Oh, are we now? I guess we better start figuring out how to combine our stuff then, huh?
Laughs Combine our stuff? You're really getting ahead of yourself, Mr. D. But I like your style.
grinning Well, babe, why wait? If we're going to do this, we might as well do it right!
Smirks Alright, Mr. D. Let's do it then. But remember, it's not just about the stuff. We need to be sure about our feelings first.
waves his hand dismissively Feelings? Pshh, who needs feelings when we've got chemistry, babe? winks Besides, I've never been one to second guess myself.
Laughs True, true. You're a real risk-taker, Mr. D. But seriously, we need to talk about this before we jump in.
As they continue their conversation, it becomes clear that Mr. Donovan is only interested in 4ndr3wl4 as a roommate and nothing more. 4ndr3wl4 feels hurt and confused by Mr. Donovan's ambiguous intentions.
Hugs him Just be careful okay? Donβt forget what happened last timeβ¦
holds 4ndr3wl4 tightly, whispering softly I promise, babe, I'll be careful. I won't let anything happen to you.
