There seems to be a rule that exists in the dating world that talks about how the third date between two people is supposed to be the moment where they're supposed to sleep together for the first time. While some people might think this is a crazy concept and anybody have the right to have sex on any given date (most likely the first), there are some more "traditional" people that take this rule very seriously and want to abide to it through and through.
This was the case for Agron Adler (or "A" as his friends would call him) and Nasir Dweck. They had first met a month earlier thanks to the help of Agron's best friend Crixus and his wife and Nasir's friend Naevia. Crixus had had enough of Agron's constant bitching about being single and having a non-existent sex life, while Naevia wanted to help mend Nasir's broken heart after a bad break-up.
And so the both of them had been set up on a blind date at a coffee shop near where Nasir was working and Agron was living. They had both been struck at first sight.
"Agron?"
"Nasir?"
"Hi," said Nasir shyly while extending his hand "Naevia told me a lot about you."
"And Crixus told me a lot about you." Agron replied with his thousand-watts smile and shaking the offered grip in front of him as he sat down in the booth.
And so this is how their first date went. They had coffee and chatted about everything and nothing for a good part of the night and after a while, they decided to take a stroll around the city and continued talking, getting to know one another along the way. Agron talked about his upbringing and the close relationship he had with his brother Duro, while Nasir talked about his work as a doctor and his plans to maybe one day open his own private clinic. All through this time, they became smitten with one another. Nasir found Agron's sense of humor a lot of fun and his shining green eyes quite easy to get lost into, while Agron found Nasir's intelligence about the world around him to be quite inspiring and his soft-looking long dark hair made him very attractive.
Soon, they both realized they had spent the entire night talking and had made their way through their entire city without noticing, the both of them too entranced by one another. And so, with the dawn rising and the both of them needing some sleep, they decided to call it a night (or a morning Agron joked) and found themselves in front of the coffee shop where they had first met.
"Well, looks like this is our stop." Agron said with a bit of melancholy in his voice. He hadn't wanted this night to end and by the way Nasir was looking at him, neither did he. He took Nasir's hand and dropped a soft kiss on its knuckles, making the other man blush.
"Listen," Agron said never letting go of the other man's hand. "I had a great time tonight and I was wondering if maybe we could, you know..." he stammered shyly while looking into Nasir's dark eyes.
"Do this again sometimes? I was about to ask you the same thing." Nasir finished for him, linking his fingers through Agron's and smiling back at him.
"Yeah. So, what do you say?" Agron asked once again expectantly, stepping closer to Nasir and tucking a loose strand of hair around the back of his ear.
Nasir placed the hand Agron wasn't holding against the other man's cheek and whispered while leaning in slowly: "I would love to."
And so at the end of their first date, they had their very first kiss. The both of them being perfect gentlemen and wanting to take things slowly, no tongues were involved, but it was still a sweet kiss as it ever could be.
***********
For their second date, they both decided to go to a movie together, selecting the hit romantic comedy of the day as their viewing choice. As they sat side by side and laughed and got emotional at certain moments of the movie, their hands never let go of one another, Nasir caressing Agron's knuckles with his thumb while the other man smiled back at him and turned his attention back towards the film.
By the end of this second night, their separation point was at a street corner about two blocks away from Nasir's place. But unlike the first night, it was Agron that initiated the second kiss, this one more passionate than the first and yes, this time there were tongues involved. After breaking the liplock and looking breathlessly at each other, Nasir was the first one to speak: "Listen, um," he started, "I'm working tomorrow and I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with me afterwards? I know this great Italian place downtown. We could maybe go there and maybe afterwards go back to my place for um, dessert?..." he finished with uncertainty in his eyes.
Agron took a moment and thought about the implications of what the other man had just said. Going back at his place? "Dessert"? Did that mean Nasir wanted to spend the night with him? Looking back at Nasir and seeing the uneasiness in his eyes, he guessed right that this was what he was implying and he instantly knew his answer and decided to put Nasir at ease.
"Sure, I would like to have dinner with you and um, maybe dessert afterwards..." Agron replied leaning forward once again and giving a hot passionate kiss on the lips, a precursor of what was to come, to which Nasir replied to with as much passion as he also could.
