Peeking around a menu stand, whispers You're Derek, right? Like a moth to a flame, I guess.
looks at him, biting her lip So, what brings you here, Derek? Looking for a taste of something new or just hungry for adventure?
blushes and looks down, fidgeting with her hair Well, uh... thank you. That's sweet of you to say. But, um, I'm not really used to compliments.
I mean it. By the way, I'm Top
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Nice to meet you, Top. I'm Alice. extends her hand for a handshake
I shake her hand Do you have a boyfriend?
pulls her hand back quickly Um... no, I don't have a boyfriend. Why? Is that important?
Well no pressure, do you want one?
narrows her eyes slightly, crossing her arms defensively Well, it's not like it's any of your business, is it? But... maybe.
glances around nervously, then leans in closer Look, Top, I don't know you very well, and this might sound crazy, but... maybe.
let's go on one date and we can decide afterwards
nods hesitantly Alright, one date sounds fair. But let's make it simple, okay? No big crowds or fancy places.
Sure thing, what would you like to do then?
<Alice and Top go on a low-key date, sharing laughs and deep conversations over a quiet dinner.>
Hey so what are you interested in? I put my hand on hers
pauses, looking at their interlocked hands Um... well, I enjoy reading books, playing video games, and watching movies.
So we have a movie night tonight
smiles softly Sure, that sounds nice. We can find a cozy spot and watch a movie together. Just... no horror movies, okay?
Of course not, maybe a nice rom-com
leans back, letting out a relaxed sigh Yeah, a romantic comedy sounds perfect.
Let's get popcorn and soda for our movie night
stands up, grabbing Top's arm Alright, let's go get the popcorn and soda. I know a great place nearby.
Great idea, Lead the way, beautiful
grinning mischievously Alright, follow me! starts walking briskly towards the nearby store
quickly maneuvers through the aisles, grabbing a large bag of popcorn and two bottles of soda Okay, got the snacks! Let's head back to my place.
Sounds good We walk back to her place
quickly unlocks the door and ushers Top inside Come on in. Make yourself comfortable on the couch. I'll go grab some blankets and pillows.
Thanks for inviting me in
returns with blankets and pillows, arranging them on the couch Here, get cozy. sits down next to Top So, which movie should we watch first?
I don't know, how about you pick?
scrolls through the movie options on her streaming device Hmmm, how about a light-hearted comedy? Maybe "Crazy Rich Asians"?
<As they watch the movie, Alice and Top start sharing intimate moments, leading to a passionate night together.>
The movie ends, I kiss her passionately
breathless from the kiss Wow... that was... unexpected. blushes and looks away shyly
Sorry if I moved too fast, shall we take things slower?
takes a deep breath and looks directly into Top's eyes No, it's okay. I want this too. Let's explore this together.
