Isadora didn't have to work today so she took the day to relax and grab coffee with her best friend a cannibal named Nelle, It was an unlikely friendship because they were so different but Nelle has been her friend almost as soon as she got to hell and they were as thick as thieves despite their obvious differences. Nelle dressed like she was from the early 1900s in her violet dress and fancy feathered hat and Isadora was a early 2000s goth girl but they had a lot in common surprisingly. She kept thinking of the events from last night and couldn't help but smile to herself, and feel the heat pool in-between her legs thinking of last night. Isadora was not a sexual person and haven't had sex very often she was asexual as her friends on earth suggested but sex wasn't an unpleasant thing for her and if she was comfortable enough she was a willing partner to someone she felt comfortable with. But she didn't really know Alastor for very long and that's why it surprised her she slept with him,hook ups never appealed to her, but this felt like more then a hookup, he said he wanted to be with her. She wanted to be with him too but she didn't know why, there was something about him that drew him to her. She tried so hard to resist him and ignore him the first few weeks being there even doing everything she could to push him away but she ended up being drawn to him like a moth to a flame. Maybe he was right- maybe she wanted, no needed to be with someone just like her. Someone dangerous, dark, cunning, intelligent and capable.
She heard about his taking down of overlords and broadcasting their screams almost as soon as he got to hell. Hell was survival and she found it impressive and almost admirable that he went into predator mode the minute he got to hell. She needed someone who was that capable. After coffee with Nelle she went back to the hotel and went to the kitchen to see what she may need to potentially order on the truck for next week, a tedious aspect of her job, but something that needed to be done. She was counting her inventory when she heard a soft knock at the doorway of her kitchen. It was Alastor who asked if he could come in and she said yes, and noted how polite it was for him to knock and ask permission because she noticed he was not good with boundaries.
" I wondered if you had a minute so we could talk?" Isadora's shoulders tensed up at that, she had a feeling he was going to give her the ' last night was fun but I don't think we should go further' speech. Just as well but it made her heart wince nonetheless. Isadora stopped counting her inventory and turned to face him and give him a sigh.
" Hey look if you are here to give me the " last night was fun but I don't think we should do it again speech' and proceed to tell me how great I am regardless to try and lessen the blow and guilt, you can save it. I'm a big girl and I can handle rejection.' Alastor stared at her blankly and blinked for a second and cocked his head to the side
"No….." he said slowly, " that was not what I was going to say, I meant it when I said I wanted to be with you." Isadora was taken aback she's not used to guys who say what they actually mean.
"Oh, well that's good so what did you want to talk about then?" Alastor stepped closer and put a tentative arm around her.
" I was going to say last night was great but I would like to take you on a proper date and get to know you for a little bit before we sleep together again. Last night was unexpected but I wouldn't take it back but I want to go on some proper dates and actually court you before we become intimate again. Is that is okay?" She looked up at him and smiled. He wanted to be a proper gentleman which is not what she was use to, it was refreshing.
" That's more then fine, I don't do stuff like what happened last night and this could potentially be good and I want to do this right and date you a little bit. I'm not a ' hook up ' girl and I think it's a good idea to properly date. It will make the next time feel special….cause we are not viciously arguing" she gave an awkward chuckle. Alastors hand tensed on her shoulder a bit
" About that …I'm sorry." He said, looking away.
" I'm sorry too." Isadora said, looking down at the floor. After a minute of awkward silence Alastor took Isadora in for a hug, he noted how nice she smelled and deepened the hug.
" How about dinner tonight, you like Italian? I know a lovely cozy Italian spot in the south of pentagram city." Isaodra looked up at him and smiled
" Italian sounds lovely."
