Ana POV
Christian and I both had smiles as wide as our faces the whole drive back to his place. I wanted to make some small talk during the drive. I wondered if he lived in a house or apartment? I decided to ask him about video games. Clearly, It was a subject that he was passionate about because the rest of the drive became a Christian's video game monologue. I tried to answer back with a "Yes" and "I see" just to let him know i was listening. I wonder what kind of video set up a billionaire would have?
Christian pulled the car around another corner entering a residential neighbourhood.
"Are you ready?" He asked.
"Is it going to be epic?" I asked back.
"Depends on what your expecting i suppose" He responded "I'm more normal than you may realize"
"I would have thought that you would live in a mansion" I said
"Why live in a mansion when it's just me though?" He asked.
"I suppose that makes sense" I answered.
"What's your favorite video game of all time" I asked.
"That's such a hard question Ana. Depends on the genre and what mood i'm in" Christian explained.
"Favorite retro game, then?" I pushed.
"Super Metroid" Christian answered.
"Good choice. I played that one quite a bit myself" I said trying to be relatable.
"How about you?" Christian "Your favorite game?"
"Don't laugh" I teased "I have two of them. Zombie's ate my neighbours and Mega Man X"
"You like it old school then" Christian laughed.
"I don't play much now but i really liked doing it as a kid" I said.
"The games now have so much better graphics than before. Have you played any new stuff?" Christian asked with excitement.
"No not really. I think my interests lie elsewhere these days. I have many pleasant memories playing with my brother though" I replied.
"You have a brother?" Christian asked.
"Yes! He's 3 years older than me" I said "You two would get along well"
Christian turn another corner and stopped in front of middle class story home with a front driveway garage. This house was modest for a man as affluent as Christian. It had blue siding and a freshly trimmed lawn. I tried hard to hide my disappointment. I felt a twinge of guilt come over me. I though he would live in some penthouse downtown or a mansion with several servants. Christian looked over at me catching a glimpse of the disappointment on my face.
"Not what you were expecting" He asked with a smile.
"Not really" I said.
"I wanted peace. This is a beautiful neighbourhood not far from where I grew up. Do you want to go in?" He asked.
"I can't wait" I cried
Christian and I both got out of the vehicle at the same time walking hand and hand up to the front door. I felt like a child waiting for the Willy Wonka to open the door to the chocolate room. He must really like me if he's bringing me to his house on the second date. The house seemed very average even from the inside. It looked to be about 1500 sq. The first thing that I noticed was that he was organized. His shoes were lined up in two rows along a small shoe rack. His jackets were clean and hung in the closet. I asked for a tour of the house so that I could get to know more about Christian's living quarter's. He seemed oddly surprised by my request, but compliant. He took me through the house like he was a tour guide. I thought that it was beautiful. The walls were a light grey color, which matched every room. The floors were a dark brown vinyl planking in the bedrooms and living room. Definitely not what I expected from a rich businessman. However, his modesty put me at ease. I felt that knowing he lived a simple life made him more relatable and down-to-earth. I liked Christian far more now than I did when we first met at the flying club.
"I love it" I stated "This is a perfect place to raise a family"
"I'm far from that but I can understand where your coming from" Christian replied.
"I'm not pushing for kids or anything" I defended showing a bit of my quirky side.
"Want to see my Man cave then" Christian offered.
"You have spiked my curiosity" I replied.
I followed Christian to the basement. The walls and floors were a direct match of the upstairs. There was a large living room area, a full bathroom and a bedroom in the far corner. Christian had a 75' TV that took over the center of the wall. Then had every video game system that I could think off in organized cabinet's on either side of the TV. The cords were all wire wrapped and taped to the wall. Every cord was organized and had it's place in the circuit. Usually there was a heap of tangled cords in corners around the room. Christian's man cave seemed to have a place for everything. I wondered if he had a touch of OCD? He had a large leather couch in front of the TV. Christian opened the door to the bedroom. The room was filled with bookshelves with games from all era's. He had collector's edition poster's and various video game memorabilia.
"You must be a huge fan of all games" I said
"I'm a collector mostly" Christian corrected "I like rare video game memorabilia. I'm a bit of a geek that way"
"Being a geek is good" I answered.
"Why is that?" Christian asked
"Because Geeks are smart, loyal and focused" I replied.
"Can I get you a tea? or coffee?" He asked.
"No thank you. I don't want to be up all night" I replied.
We agreed on a movie of my choosing. Christian pulled out the controller starting the movie. It was late and I was not sure I could stay awake throughout the whole movie but I didn't want to go home. I wanted to be with Christian. Christian seemed to want the same thing. I waited till he sat down next to me to snuggle up to him. I wanted to show him how attractive I found him both physically and emotionally but I was still a bit guarded. What if my advances made him feel uncomfortable. He must have woman throw themselves at him all the time. He must always be wondering 'Does she does want me for my money?'. I was looking for a companion to love me, rich or poor it didn't matter. With love you could make anything work.
Christian brought me close to his chest, kissing my forehead. I felt a sense of love and warmth coming from his body. His gestures were gentle and caring. If there was any man that I wanted to please it was Christian. The movie started to roll but I was more focused on Christian than the screen. I looked up at his face from where I was laying on his chest. I decided not to ignore my body any longer. The tension in the room was undeniable. I brought my lips to his giving him a passionate kiss. His lips embraced mine letting no drop of sweet saliva go to waste. I needed to share my intentions with him. I needed him to know how much I wanted him. He looked at me with slight concern in his eyes.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Yes. I'm sure" I answered.
Christian POV
Looking over at Ana i wondered if she was expecting some billion dollar Hollywood inspired video game paradise. If she was, she was going to be very disappointed. I was successful but I was a simple person at heart. I came from middle class roots. I had some expensive tastes and I enjoyed the freedom of financial security but I could live on 1/10th of my salary and not notice much difference in my way of life. Ana didn't seem like a gold digger but in my experience that high maintenance entitlement didn't usually come out till later. I pulled up to my house. She seemed nervous and disappointed at the same time. I didn't want to let her down, I wanted to share a part of me with her. She perked up at the offer to go inside. I got out of the car, without prompts she put her hand into mine. I took it as a non-verbal cue that she wanted to pursue this further. Her warm touch gave me a sense of acceptance and comfort.
I opened the front door, stepping aside so that she could walk in first.
"Do I get a tour?" She asked
"Yeah! of course" I replied.
I walked her into the living room. I had a 50' TV and a leather couch set. I walked her through my kitchen which was a sea of dark cherry wood cabinets. I had the kitchen fully renovated with I moved in making sure to put in an island with quartz counter-tops. The kitchen had large windows that extended from floor to ceiling revealing the spacious backyard with a fire-pit and hot-tub. I showed her the rest of the house.
"I love it" She exclaimed.
"Really!" I asked surprised.
"Yes. This place is beautiful and oddly very organized for a bachelor" She commented.
"I have a maid that comes in twice a week" I laughed nervously.
"Still your very clean" She commented.
The last area of the house was the basement. I ended the tour with a walk through my video game collection and other assorted memorabilia. She seemed fascinated and impressed. I wanted her to stay a while but I didn't want her to feel pressured to have sex. We had a flight scheduled soon and I didn't want things to get to weird.
"Do you want to watch a movie?" I suggested.
"Sure. What do you have in mind?" She asked.
"Ladies choice" I replied.
"How about a comedy?" She said
"What is your favorite comedy?" I asked curiously.
"Dead man on Campus" Ana stated without hesitation "I laugh till I cry every time I watch it"
"You got it" I said
I walked over to a cabinet to the right of the TV. Ana took a seat in front of the TV on the leather couch. Patiently waiting for our next move. I pulled out a controller and started navigating the Kodi box looking for the movie that Ana had chosen. As attracted as I was to Ana I didn't want to come on too strong. Under no circumstance could she lay across my legs for fear that I would get a raging erection that I could not control. If she felt comfortable she would let me know until then we were just getting to know each other.
I sat down to next to Ana, she snuggled up to me making herself comfortable on my test. The movie had not been playing for more than 15 minutes when she surprised me with a passionate kiss. I could not help but meet her with vigor and excitement. I had been holding back for a while but for the first time It felt as though she wanted me as much as I wanted her. My whole body was screaming 'finally'. Before I gave er all of me I had to be sure.
"Are you sure?" I asked
"Yes. I'm sure" she replied with a smile.
I rolled over on top of her. No more holding back.
