Thread: Pushing the Envelope [Machiavelli & Sigr]

Seeing Nick smile and say that he'd do his best made Amanda's heart skip a beat, but she managed to order their food just fine even if he was being incredibly cute. How he stammered, how he squirmed on his seat... if Amanda had any less self control, she would be clutching the table until her knuckles were white to prevent her just grabbing him and taking him home. Emil really deserved a raise, maybe even more free days... providing Amanda herself wouldn't be too busy. Nick seemed pleased with her choices when ordering, even with the fact she ordered for the both of them apparently, as Amanda slowly learned to read his sometimes well hidden, other times painfully transparent expressions. You haven't? Amanda asked surprised, welcoming that Nick had came back to the embarrassing topic without being encouraged to. Not even one little fan fiction here and there? The good ones are lovely, although I guess that depends on the fandom she said, usually preferring fictions on original settings but enjoying her share of fan made ones with canon characters as well. You could start there, slowly Amanda suggested. Look around the Internet for a couple about some science fiction universe you like, providing it's not too obscure, and you can test if you like the idea of sci-fi laced with a few lewd moments she commented, inciting Nick to explore on his own, to discover what was out there. My favorite ones are more grounded I think Amanda started to answer, taking a sip from her water. She leaned slightly closer, as she gestured with her right arm while talking, her left one rested on the table, her thumb slowly circling around her fingers. Amanda's body language invited the touch, although she didn't demand it, not yet, as she was interested on the talk and didn't want to push Nick too fast. Slice of life kind of stuff, sometimes more believable than others she continued. It's a bit like being invited into someone else's private life, like peeking into those moments that everyone has and yet never shows Amanda tried to explain, finding a good way to do it. Look around, at them for example Amanda subtly gestured with her eyes at a younger couple two tables to their right. He was a high school jock, complete with varsity jacket, while she was an attractive yet quite demure girl, conservatively dressed. What's the story there? She's not a cheerleader for sure, and yet there they are... where will they go later? What will they do? Amanda wondered, her smile getting a mischievous quality. Or our waitress, she's certainly young and attractive. Does she have plans with someone after work? Does she earn enough here or has she other work aside? Maybe as a cam girl... she suddenly suggested. I'm just making things up on the go, but I hope that you can see the point, right? They are real people as us, and like us they have their own private secret sides to explore... she briefly giggled, unable for once to control how much fun she was having. Amanda had the feeling that Nick was probing her for particular kinks, either because he was growing bolder and bolder or as a way to confirm the suspicions that both of them probably had Emil was a genius.
