We arrived at David's condo, only a block or two from the beach. It was small, but someone who lives alone didn't need much. He got out of the car while I was grabbing my bag. "Milady." The door on my side opened, waiting for me. "Let me show you the Moss Estate." He held out his arm for me. I took it and nodded. "Now this here, is the front door. Made of oak and painted grey, it's a perfect accent to the silver door knob."
I laughed at the accent he was trying to pull off. He shot me a serious look. "Oh, very modern, very nice." I began to play along.
"Inside has been decorated by yours truly, Master Lasercorn." He continued the house tour with eloquent vocabulary and a silly accent. The living room was simple, tan couches, mahogany coffee table. Very big TV with an assortment of systems underneath. All the walls were white except the wall with the TV against it, that wall was a chocolate brown. He led me to the kitchen, pretty basic, doesn't look like it's been used very much if at all. The dining room was pretty plain as well, glass dining table lined with six grey dining chairs. "This is where one is to relieve themselves." David waved his arm to the bathroom. "This is also where I make myself shiny and clean as the door knob."
"You decorated this by yourself?" I said, impressed with the cleanliness and decor.
"Of course! I payed for the interior designer to take my thoughts and put them in my home." He began to laugh. "Now to show you...where the magic happens." David pulled me up stairs. "Pick a door."
There were two doors and a short hallway leading to a window. "Door number two?"
David opened door number two and covered my eyes. He walked me into the room and sat me down on a chair that seemed to spin, a desk chair. He removed his hand and I was in what looked like an office. I was sitting at a table filled with Magic cards. "I see what you did there." I laughed at him. There was a table in the middle of the blue and grey room, three grey walls and one blue. A desk sat in the far right corner, two screens, kind of the same setup that Smosh Games had. On the left wall there was a futon with a knitted blanket over it. "I like it. Really professional but still fun."
He nodded and took my hand. "One last spot." David walked me across the hall and opened the door to his room. It was the same color scheme as the living room with browns and reds. He had a red comforter on his queen sized bed. Another TV was on the wall across from the bed. The closet door was closed but his room was surprisingly clean.
"I'm impressed, David. Very nice...very clean...and very cozy." I sat on the end of the bed and took it all in.
David stood in front of me. "That was the point." He smirked.
I pulled him in for a kiss, holding the back of his head. His hands found my back and he pulled me up, still face to face. I smiled into his lips and I felt him smile back. We both stopped. "Is this going to work? You and I?" I asked seriously.
David sat me on the bed, and he got next to me. "Why wouldn't it?"
I put one leg on the bed and turned to face him. "I don't know, we work together, you're famous in the Youtube sense. Are you going to take this seriously or is this going to be one of those play the girl until I get bored?"
He laid a hand on my knee and squeezed it. "Of course I'll take it seriously. I really do like you Arria. I wouldn't try to do anything to hurt you."
The look on his face had me bought. "Okay, I believe you." I expressed my happiness and went in for another kiss, this one felt more real than ever. I had my hands around his neck gently scratching it. His arms went around my waist, we continued to smile. We fell onto the bed, laying down now.
Starting to roll around David stopped, on top of me, I left myself vulnerable. He looked at me, and I just looked at him. He put his nose up to mine, "We're going to wait for this part." After he pecked my lips one more time David collapsed onto me putting his face into my neck. "I'm going to prove to you that I can take this seriously." He kissed my neck and rolled off the bed. "You can go hang out in the office if you want, I have to grab some things, hop in the shower really quick, and then we can head to your house."
I sat up on the bed and said, "can I just take a nap?"
"I don't see why not." David said grabbing some clothes out of the closet, shutting it quickly. "I'll be back." He tried to pull the Arnold Swarchenegger accent.
"Nice try David." I let out a huff of a laugh and fell back into the bed, grabbing the folded blanket at the bottom of the bed and curling up into his smell.
There was a kiss on my head that woke me up. "Ready to go?" I heard David's voice.
Slowly, my blue eyes opened. "Yeah, sure." I stretched out and smiled at him. "How long did I sleep?" I sat up and fixed my hair.
"About a half an hour. It's almost 4:30." He helped me up off the bed. David was all dressed and ready for dinner. He had a black dress shirt, top three buttons undone, revealing a white Portal t-shirt underneath. He wore regular dark jeans because this place wasn't super classy but still really nice.
I went in to hug him. "You look great. Let's get going." I started towards downstairs.
David opened the door out, quickly running inside remembering my bag. He locked the door and walked to my already started car. "You forgot this."
"Thank you Mr Moss." I grabbed my bag and set it in the back. "Now to the Wates Estate where Emperor Stark awaits our arrival."
I opened the door to my apartment, Stark patiently waiting, just sitting at the door. "I'm home puppy boy." I said in my pet voice. The dog ran up me, jumping at my legs, wanting his 'I'm home' hug so I lifted him up from the ground and gave his hug, he licked my face in reply. "David's back Stark!" I brought the dog to David who had just finished taking off his shoes. Stark licked his face, happy to see him as well. "You know, Stark hasn't really liked any of my guy friends as much as he likes you and he only met you yesterday."
"Must be a good judge of character." David laughed, petting the dog.
"I'm going to take him out, can you fill his water bowl?" I said, walking to the patio. David nodded. I set the dog down to go about and do doggy things.
David met me out on the porch and took me by the waist. "So what are we going to call this?" He rested his chin on my shoulder, his nose against my ear.
"We can call this us. It's up to you whether or not we tell anyone yet. I mean...we just started talking yesterday and we're already here like this. I've never been this close to someone this fast before David." I turned to face him and I set my hands on his shoulders.
"If you want us to take it a little slower I can go ahead and slow down a bit." David touched his nose to mine. "We can wait to tell everyone for now." He didn't sound one hundred percent sure about what he had just said. "Yeah, we'll wait."
"Alright, we can wait." I gently kissed him. "But I don't mind this at all." He kissed me back, his hands tightly wrapping around me. "Perfect just like this." I smiled.
Stark began to bark, notifying us that he was done and wanted back in. "Okay buddy, here I come." David lifted Stark over the railing and set him back in. We both walked into the apartment, I went directly to the kitchen to feed Stark. "So where do I set my bag?" David asked, holding up a green duffle bag.
"On top of my dresser is fine I guess. You can play some games and stuff while I get ready." I walked into my room, David following, he placed his bag on my dresser. I grabbed some clothes out of my dresser and my closet.
"Perfect, I can practice for later tonight." David winked as I closed the bathroom door.
"Yeah right, tonight's the night where I crush you." I said through the door.
I came out of the bathroom a little bit later, dressed in black skinny jeans, red camisole, and a grey cardigan. My black hair was in light curls with a red and grey polka dot bow holding my bangs back. I gave my lips a slight red tint and my blue eyes had a little bit of black eyeliner around them. I think I looked pretty damn good. Stark looked up from the futon, wagging his tail, but he never got up from David's side.
I saw David pause whatever game he decided to play. He looked at me with bright eyes and a smile to match. "Red looks great on you."
"One of the many reasons why it's my favorite color." I walked over and sat next to him. "Do we have time for one game of..."
"Mario Kart 64, and I think so." David kissed my forehead and handed me a controller. "But I'm definitely going to kick your ass as usual."
"I'm kind of actually really good at this game." I said, picking Toad as my character.
"You said the same thing about Bomberman." David picked Donkey Kong. "D.K. stands for Dick King not Donkey Kong."
I laughed. "Where does the Donkey come from in his name? He's not even a donkey." I chose the Flower Cup at 100cc.
"I told you, it's Dick King." We began racing, going back and forth on who was winning. "Seriously? What the hell is this? Why would one even race on a highway with large gaps?"
"Obviously Toad does because it's his turnpike." I said, hopping over a gap. "He may be small but he gets some major air."
"Well fuck you and your turnpike." David said, coming in second right behind me. "This isn't over yet, there's still three more races so don't be so confident."
"Don't be a sore loser David, you know you're going to lose." I continued trash talking him, but I ended up coming in second for that race. "I'm not good with ice."
"Is Choco Mountain made from chocolate? If it is, we should really go there sometime."
"I love me some chocolate." I laughed, passing DK and tossing a banana behind me. "Eat my Nesquik Dick King!" I crossed the finish line seconds before David.
"There's one more race." He sighed, leaning into the screen.
"You know, if you win that makes this a draw right?"
"Kiss for good luck?" He tried.
"Nope, I don't need your luck." I stuck my tongue out at him and started the race. "Mario and I are buds, so I'm pretty sure he's got my back in this one."
"That's what you think. I deal bananas to Mario, they're special bananas. They help him out with Peach. I told him that if he helps me out in this race I'll give him a bundle no charge."
"Har har har, you're so funny." I said, one spot ahead of him.
"I think Mario likes his bananas better than he likes you." David passed me and crossed the finish line. "I think you're getting better at these video game things people are always raving about."
I ignored the statement. "I'd like to go to a rave again."
"Irrelevant. You're just upset you didn't win." He rolled up the controllers and set them back under my TV.
"You didn't win either dummy. So technically I didn't lose." I began to pet Stark. "We'll be back okay, just going out to dinner with my new co-workers." I kissed the top of his head and set him on the ground. "Let's get going."
"You're just going to completely ignore that entire game." David frowned. "I think the fact that we tied makes us seem like a great team for Double Dash." David slid on his shoes.
I put on my nice red Vans, yes I have nice Vans and dirty Vans in a variety of colors. "Only if I drive." I kissed his cheek and grabbed my black leather over the shoulder purse.
"You can drive to dinner, but not on Double Dash. Bye Stark, see you soon buddy." David shut the door of my apartment.
"We can take turns. You can drive Sherbet Land because I don't like ice." We walked out to the car and got in.
"Teamwork!" David said as he shut the car door.
