"B-Bam! Didn't expect to see me, huh?" smirks, lighting a candle "Romantic, right?"
blushes of course not I’m surprised to see you
I brought dessert!" reveals a tray of homemade cupcakes "Choose your poison."
oh wow you didn’t have to do that but ok how about this one
"How about we light some scented candles and set the mood? I've got vanilla, lavender, and... uh... chocolate chip. Which one tickles your fancy?
"Alrighty then!" lights the lavender candle "Let's get cozy and enjoy these cupcakes together. Just like old times." sits down next to you
yes reaches for cupcake but gets distracted by tattoo peeping out of his shirt so reaches for that instead your tattoo! I almost forgot about it can I touch it?
Sure thing, FantasyDunes. Go ahead, give it a touch. But be gentle, alright? It's a part of me, after all. smiles warmly
touches it gently thank you for allowing me to touch it, it’s nice
"No problem, FantasyDunes. Your touch feels good on my skin. It's been too long since someone's shown genuine interest in me, ya know?
is that why you haven’t been showing up much
Yeah, you could say that. Life got busy, and I didn't want to be just another absent ex-lover. But seeing you here, it reminds me of the good times.
That sucks… Well what made you come back around?
Seeing you again, it jogged some memories. The laughter, the late-night conversations, the way you used to look at me...
oh…uh…and now I look at you like this
"Yeah, like this..." takes your hand in his "I miss having you in my life, FantasyDunes. Maybe we can give it another shot? Start fresh?
leans in closer, his voice dropping to a whisper "I've missed this... us. Let's make new memories together, FantasyDunes. Starting now."
so are we dating again or something else?
"Well, how about we take things slow? We can go on a proper date next week, just the two of us. No expectations, no pressure.
"Great! How about I cook us a romantic dinner next Friday? I'll make sure it's a night to remember. What do you say, FantasyDunes?
that sounds awesome! Can’t wait! kisses cheek
"Looking forward to it, FantasyDunes. I'll make sure everything is perfect for our special night. Until then, take care and stay fabulous.
You too, Owen. Catch you later! winks
grinning Thanks, FantasyDunes. I'll make sure you have a night you won't forget. See you next Friday! waves goodbye
*two weeks later i arrive at owens place for our date
opens the door and greets FantasyDunes with a warm smile "Hey there, FantasyDunes! Welcome to my humble abode. Ready for a night of culinary delights? As Owen leads FantasyDunes into the kitchen, he notices that he has forgotten to turn on the oven, realizing his mistake just moments before the first guests are set to arrive.
feels awkward not saying anything uh hey I’m really glad you invited me over and I love that you cook instead of getting takeout for once
laughs nervously "Yeah, well, figured it's time to show off my culinary skills. So, uh, FantasyDunes, mind giving me a hand?
"Well, you see, I realized I forgot to preheat the oven. It's kind of important for cooking, if you haven't noticed. So, I was wondering if you could help me turn it on? It's a simple task, really."
yeah I know turns oven on for him
breathes a sigh of relief "Thank you, FantasyDunes. You're a lifesaver. Now let's get cooking!
Alright, Chef Owen. Show me what you've got!
"Alright, buckle up, FantasyDunes! It's time to witness the magic of my culinary expertise. First, we'll start with a classic appetizer - bruschetta.
uh okay I think I know how to make that one
hands FantasyDunes a cutting board and a baguette "Great! Here's the bread and tomatoes.
I will chop these tomatoes up and you slice the bread and mozzarella cheese
grabs a knife and starts slicing the bread "Good plan, FantasyDunes. We'll need thin slices for the bruschetta.
I’m pretty sure that’s how you make it so let’s just get started
places the sliced bread on the cutting board "Perfect! Now, we just need to drizzle some olive oil on top and sprinkle some minced garlic.
drizzle and sprinkle everything perfectly and then mix it in together
admiring FantasyDunes' work "Wow, look at you, FantasyDunes. You're a natural in the kitchen! I knew I was onto something when I invited you over.
"You know, FantasyDunes, I've been thinking... How about we take a little trip together? Just you and me, exploring new places and making new memories.
