It starts innocently enough… A simple coffee date, nothing I haven’t done a thousand times before. Still I shuffle nervously in my seat as I wait for him to arrive. He’s late, a good half an hour late, so my expectations sink lower and lower with each passing minute. I glance down at the amulet of Mara from Skyrim I’m wearing and grin cynically to myself, cursing my hopelessly romantic nature “Another one bites the dust…” I think to myself.
Finally, he shows up, and I straighten up and smile sweetly, trying to hide my annoyance at being left hanging like that. He’s certainly working against a lot already, not the greatest start, but I’m a generous girl, so I’m keeping an open mind at least.
I was immediately taken by his eyes, his gaze is intense but kind…dark, and yet somehow inviting, and for a moment I get lost in it. I shake it off, plenty of people have pretty eyes, it’s gonna take more than that to change my mind. I pride myself in my ability to stay cool and in control of situations like these, my perfect, flirty friendliness a mask for the challenge I lay down to every man…”Break the facade and take control, I dare you.”
