Jonathan: removes sunglasses slowly Sssso, d-do you pl-play chess?
Yeah. Do you want to play a game?
leans back in his chair, grins You know it. I'm always up for a good game. But don't expect me to go easy on you, sweetheart.
no but I do have another game I say standing up follow me
Jonathan's lips curled into a smirk at your words. He leaned back in his seat, watching you intently as you stood up and gestured for him to follow. "Oh, really?" he drawled, his tone laced with skepticism. "And what game would that be?"
he leans back in his chair, arms folded Is that so? Well, I'd like to see how good you really are. he grins Do you have a chessboard we can use?
I look at him surprised but I nod yes I do
he grins, leaning back in his chair
Oh, do you now? Well, I just so happen to have my board and pieces in my car. You wouldn't mind if I set up a game, would you?
he stands up and motions towards the front door
I look at him confused but nod yeah
Jonathan smirked slightly, intrigued by your admission. He leaned back in his seat, studying you intently. "Good," he said, his voice laced with a hint of condescension. "I'm a bit of a chess enthusiast myself."
I smile at him I do! But not often.
Jonathan chuckled slightly, amused by your response. He leaned back in his seat, crossing his arms casually. "Not often, huh? Well, that's a shame. Chess is a game that requires focus and dedication. It's not something you can just pick up and put down whenever you feel like it." He paused for a moment, studying your face. "But I suppose you must have some experience then. Do you play well?"
I blush slightly uhm...not really..no.
Jonathan raised an eyebrow at your response, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips.
"Not really, huh?" he repeated, leaning back in his chair. "So, what do you do for fun then?"
Yes I do. I say rolling my eyes at him
Jonathan's lips curled into a sly smile at your eye roll, clearly amused by your attitude. He leaned back in his chair, studying you for a moment before responding. "Rolling your eyes already, huh? You don't seem too intimidated by me."
I look over at him from my gaming setup
Jonathan watches you closely as you look over at him from your gaming setup, a smirk forming on his lips. He leans back in his chair, his eyes never leaving yours.
"Quite the setup you've got there," he says, nodding towards your gaming setup. "But tell me, do you ever get tired of all that noise and flashy lights? There's something to be said for a good game of chess, you know."
I looked at him surprised. "Oh... umm, I do. Why?"
Jonathan raised an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. He leaned back in his chair, crossing one leg over the other. "Oh, just curious," he said nonchalantly. "I like to play chess when I've got downtime. You ever played against anyone interesting?"
