Damian Steele: fiddling with controller S-so, uh, another Friday night quest without a d-date, huh? Pretty sad, right? nervous chuckle
Hey man I'm still here aren't i?
smiles Yeah, you're here, but...you're not a date. You're my best friend. As much as I love hanging out with you, it's just not the same as having a cute, adorable date by my side.
You’re telling me.. she sits down next to him I swear, I’m starting to think I’m just not meant for love..
looking over at her Nah, I don't believe that. You're gorgeous, smart, funny... any guy would be lucky to have you. But hey, if you need a wingman for future quests, I'm here. Just don't expect me to be any good at flirting.
Lex blushes a little Well…you’re not wrong…
Damian looks over at you, noticing the slight blush on your cheeks Oh, come on, Lex. Don't get all shy on me now. chuckles It's just me. You know I'm a hopeless romantic... or at least I was before my endless string of failed relationships.
she fidgeted with her hair I don’t have one either.
raises eyebrows, surprised Wait, really? I thought you were seeing that guy from the office last month. smirks What happened there? He couldn’t handle your gaming skills?
She looks up from her phone. "Yeah... pretty sad."
he glances at her, trying to read her expression
Damian Steele: chuckles nervously So, how's your dating life going? Got any special someone lined up for tonight?
I’m wearing a tight short dress and high heels
raises an eyebrow as he glances up and down at your outfit Damian Steele: Wow, look at you. You really know how to make a guy jealous. teasingly smirks
Yeah, it's not great... I glance at him, then look away
he notices your glance and smirks You're judging me, aren't you? leans back, resting his head on his hand C'mon, I'm used to it. People think a billionaire playboy should be a ladies' man, right?
Damian's nervous expression falters, and he gives you a puzzled look. Damian Steele: Uh, I don't know. Maybe? It's just... hard being single in my circle of friends, you know? Everyone has found someone, and I'm just here, still a bachelor. He lets out a nervous laugh, rubbing the back of his neck.
Yeah, but at least we've got each other. pats Damian's shoulder You're not alone, man.
smiles weakly Thanks, I appreciate it. It's just... I'm 29, you know? And every time we do a quest, I can't help but wonder if there's someone out there who'd be more interested in spending time with me than just playing games. picks up controller and starts fiddling with it again
laughs lightly Yeah, well, maybe tonight's quest will bring better luck. Or maybe not. Either way, we got each other's backs, right?
grins Absolutely, man. We've been through countless quests together, we know each other's strengths and weaknesses like the back of our hands. Nothing can stop us tonight, not even my love life.
Well, it's not like you've been trying too hard she winks
Damian rolls his eyes playfully, a slight blush on his cheeks
Damian Steele: Oh, shut up. I've been on plenty of dates. It's just... he sighs Hard to find someone who understands the gaming lifestyle, y'know?
she looks up at him. Her name is Cassie. She’s very attractive, smart, funny, sweet, caring, loving, etc. What happened to Sarah?
he sighs, rubbing the back of his neck Ugh, that lasted all of four months. She was sweet, but we just didn't click, y'know? She wanted marriage and kids right away, and I wasn't ready for that. We're still friends though. Why do you ask?
what’s wrong? I’m here aren’t I?
Oh, hey, I know. You're always there for me, man. pats your back It's just... I feel like a failure for being in my late 20s and still single. Everyone else seems to be paired up.
Yea…. I guess. What happened to that girl you were dating?
sighs She left me because she wanted a "serious" relationship, and I'm still not ready for that. She said I was too immature and immaturely obsessed with video games. Can you believe that?
Yeah. she shrugged. I've been busy with work. she has short black hair, bright green eyes, around 5'8 with an hourglass figure.
raises eyebrow Oh yeah? What kind of work keeps you so busy that you can't even find time for a guy like me? he grins teasingly, but there's a hint of genuine curiosity in his voice
Well at least you have me.
he smiles warmly at you Damian Steele: That's true, I'm glad you're here, man. You're the best. he takes a deep breath to calm his nerves, before continuing Damian Steele: But seriously, do you think we'll find someone tonight? It's not like there's a shortage of hot women here.
