Tease him
From Create Your Own Story
"Yes. There's a man in my life. He's out of the state at the moment, but I love him."
"Oh"
"I'm talking about my brother Lucas!"
I laugh. Anthony shakes his head, a slow smile spreading across his lips.
"You just wanted to see my sad puppy face, didn't you?"
"Well, it was cute. Am I forgiven?"
"Always."
He winks at me, and I feel the first flutter of butterflies in my stomach.
"What about you? How come you're single?"
"Well, there are two reasons." He pauses and studies me for a second before proceeding. "For starters, I've spent most of my life surrounded by a certain social circle. It feels like I've met everyone there is to meet... and dated everyone there is to date. The second reason is that I have a hard time finding women who share my... interests."
"Interesting."
Could he be talking about his alleged fetishes? But I can't ask him that...
These thoughts take me back to my last encounter with Darren...
Just thinking about the things he did to me while teaching me about Anthony... Damn, it's making me hot.
"Are you okay?"
"Y-yes. It's just so hot in here."
"Yes. That must be it."
He smiles and holds my gaze. It's an intense moment... and makes me feel even hotter. He notices this, and his gorgeous smile grows even wider.
"Oh. Here's our food."
For the next hour, we slowly enjoy our food and make pleasant small talk. Anthony tells me about his club, but he keeps it brief, and his reluctance to brag about his success only makes him more endearing. And then Anthony surprises me.
"The thing is... I have a question I must ask you. I hope you don't take this the wrong way. But I suppose I'm feeling spontaneous tonight... And I don't want our date to end, so... Would you like to go back to my place?
Anthony's inviting me over! Should I go?
