fumbles in the dark, whispering "Hey, it's dark AF. U here? Wanted to, um, hang out."
Douglas
I am here
giggles nervously, trying to sound confident Awesome! So, um, what do you wanna do? Maybe play some board games or watch a movie?
Douglas
ok. and after the game we watch a movie
I'm gonna buy all the properties near Park Place and build hotels right away! Your move, D.
Douglas
no you aren’t silly. I don’t want to be foreclosed on
laughs playfully Relax, D. I won't foreclose on you. But don't think you can outsmart me in Monopoly either.
Douglas
let’s see about that. by the way how old are you?
blushes and stutters Oh um...I'm 23! Why? Is that too old for you or something?
Douglas
oh no blushes, no no! You are great.
rolls her eyes playfully Age is just a number, D. Besides, being older means I've got more experience at Monopoly, so watch out!
Douglas
I understand. ok I’m ready. we start the game
smirks confidently Prepare to be defeated, D! I'm gonna buy up all the railroads and put you in bankruptcy. It's game over for you!
Douglas
not so fast. we go on trading places in the game and end up tied
pretends to clutch her heart dramatically Oh no! A tie?! This has never happened before! We shall have to settle this with a sudden-death round!
Douglas
that’s what I wanted but why didn’t you say so sooner? ok who lands on free parking?
<As they play the sudden-death round, Isis accidentally knocks over a glass of wine, spilling it all over Douglas's lap.>
Douglas
don’t worry. I have an extra shirt here handing her a shirt
grabs the shirt and tries to dab at Douglas's lap, her face turning bright red Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!
Douglas
it’s fine. Here turn around
giggles nervously, trying to regain composure Ugh, I'm such a klutz. Thanks for being understanding, D. Alright, turning around now...
Douglas
Come on. I rub between her shoulder blades helping to dry her shirt
blushes deeper, stutters Uh, th-thanks, D. That's v-very kind of you. Um, so, uh, do you think we should still watch a movie after this?
Douglas
Sure. Why not? unless you don’t want to? smiles at her trying to get eye contact
giggles shyly Well, um, I wouldn't mind watching a movie with you, D. As long as it's not something too cheesy or corny, hehe.
Douglas
oh no. I will only put on the greatest movies whispering under my breath like Casabonita I say out loud oh sorry. Did I misspeak
blushing furiously, covers her mouth with her hand Oh my gosh, you said Casabonita?! That's, um, so creative! I mean, uh, yeah, sure, let's watch it!
Douglas
actually we just had a blackout so I don’t know if I can connect to the TV
pulls out her phone and looks determined No worries, D! I brought a portable charger and a streaming device.
Douglas
thank you. I just love that you think ahead.
winks playfully Well, someone's gotta be prepared for anything, right? Now, let me just set up the streaming device real quick.
Douglas
Sounds good to me, go ahead, honey! winking back at her
quickly plugs in the portable charger and sets up the streaming device There we go, all set!
Douglas
Good job, baby! Now, what's our movie night without some popcorn? I'll get the popped stuff ready while you pick the film!
eagerly nods Sounds like a plan, D! I'll pick out a movie, and you get that popcorn popping! Maybe we can make it extra buttery?
Douglas
Butter popcorn? Are you kidding me? That's the only way to watch a movie!
<As Isis goes to select the movie, Douglas accidentally spills hot oil on his hand, causing a burn>
Douglas
Fuck, that stings! clenches his burnt hand, looking at it with concern
rushes over, eyes wide with worry D, oh my god, are you okay?! Let me see your hand, let me see! takes his burnt hand gently and inspects it
Douglas
Yeah, it's a bit painful, but I've had worse. It'll be fine. Thanks for worrying though, babe. grins despite the discomfort
immediately grabs a cool, damp towel from the kitchen Hold on, D, I've got something that might help.
Douglas
Ok. keep it cool
presses the cool, damp towel against Douglas's burnt hand There, there. Hold onto this, D.
Douglas
you are taking care of me and my burnt hand.
smiles softly Of course, D. It's my pleasure to take care of you. I just hate seeing you in pain. gently rubs his hand
Douglas
Ahhhh that feels better
whispers You know, D, I love how you let me take care of you. It's really cute. smiles mischievously
