A/N: trying once again to upload. A new update on windows 8 has had FF in a tizzy for me. Going to keep loading as long as it lets me and keep writing as I go...
I would run but there is no place to go. I would hide but frankly there is nothing in my apartment to hide under or behind. That an the fact that the tone he uses has so much humor and joy behind it. So I stop, halfway down the hall after my oh so cool try at a getaway.
"We are not going back there after that. Talk." I turned and saw him looking a mix between shock and pride and a shitload of confusion thrown in for good measure.
"Talk about what?" yup I suck at the innocent thing.
"Do not pull that. You know damn well what I am talking about. You just happen to say it was your first date." he comes a bit closer but only enough to lean against the hall wall. "Not our first date, not A first date but Your first date." All I can do is nod and shrug. It's a fact, not one I want to admit was a big deal to me but it is. But, yeah, cool guy tries to still pull front.
"Ed, we are 34 years old. You have lead a colorful life. That trek out into the city, which you have never ventured upon was not only your maiden voyage into the unknown but your first date EVER? Like as in you have never been out with someone? Coffee? Lunch?" His bafflement makes me a bit self conscious just like I had hints of through the day. I could retreat and hide like I tried since we walked in the door or I can take the leap.
"First ever. Yes, no to all the rest." I take the leap. Then make quick steps down the hall.
