Thread: This is My Girlfriend...The Hooker -- WhimsicalsCadence and The Gladiator

Dan marveled at how comfortable she seemed at least outwardly. He hoped outwardly he projected as much confidence and sexiness, for inside he felt rather dare he say it nervous uncertain. He had never done something like this before. Then he mentally kicked himself, of course she was confident and comfortable, this was her career, what she did for a living. He would never be nervous in front of a board room, for it was his place, or in front of a classroom, for he was just as comfortable there. It was the unknown that had his stomach in knots. On the other hand, she had probably done this half a hundred times. His eyes watched her his ears listening to her speak. She explained the fee, pretty much confirming what he had already thought. I thought thats how it worked, I just said us as in you, because well Id never make you do something you did not feel comfortable with. He held up his hands palm out as if to ward off her next words, I know you might say its your job, or youd be comfortable with anything. I just meant he broke off, unable to find the words to explain his gentle nature. His attention was diverted by watching her lick her lips, a subtle movement, but one that he caught. That action and her next question, almost an innuendo such was her tone causing a slight flush of pink to tinge his cheeks. A flush that went back all the way to his ears. It was obvious exactly where his mind had gone when she had asked that. However it was not something along those lines that he suggested when he spoke. After somewhat of an awkward silence Dan cleared his throat, Well I uh figured that we had all of tonight to get to know one another, to perfect our act of being a couple if you will. Discuss things like our history together, stuff like that. Because trust me well get asked a lot of questions, they will ask them over and over again, theyre like police interrogators, searching for something in your story that doesnt add up. He said. Desperately trying to cover his slight embarrassment with his rapid words. He had crinkled his nose slightly when she had called him Daniel, but had not objected either. Most everyone called him Dan and there were only a few that were allowed to call him Daniel, however the way she said it, the way it flowed from her full lips somehow he kind of liked it. Is that ok with you? he asked inquiring about the get to know you evening. Theres supposed to be a nice restaurant right around the corner. Italian I think. He said after another slight pause. Does that sound ok, or did you have something else in mind for us to do? here he fought to not sound nervous or make that last sentence an innuendo either. Dan sure hoped he wasnt coming off as an idiot or inexperienced novice. Yes he had dated before, although to his eyes he had never been good at it, and it had been quite some time. Maybe you can show me how a boyfriend is supposed to act. He teased. Although, with his manners it was hard to believe that he did not know how to treat a woman, he most likely did, he just seemed a bit tense and not comfortable relaxing and being himself around her.
