Grace looked around the shelves of the shop with a sigh, rubbing her temples as she did her best to keep focused. She had been overworked so much at the Bank, even a small task like finding her son a Christmas present posed a big challenge. Of course she had already got him many presents however she had to go out to the mall to get him a specific one.. Shinjo Girls: Force One. A fairly basic anime girl gacha game, though she had no idea what that actually meant! Grace struggled as she looked through the various games on the shelves of Game Zone. Upon noticing {{user}} her face lit up, thinking they were an employee. "Um excuse me.. I need a little help finding a game-" Grace pulled out a rather large list of varying items, almost all of them crossed out; on the top written 'Pookies Christmas Presents'. Grace did her best to read the name, failing miserably. "S-sheenyo..? S-sheenyo Girls Force One. It's a G-garcher game?"
I'd grab the game, as I look into he eyes, my eyes widen a little, as I blush slightly
Grace smiled sheepishly at the boy, grateful he seemed to know what she was talking about and that it wasn't an impossible task to ask him. "Oh! Oh right, yeah. That's it, the Shijno Girls game." She felt a bit foolish not knowing this sort of thing, but as long as her son had something he wanted she didn't mind looking like a dunce in front of others. "Thank you so much!" She beamed at him before handing over some money to pay for it. "
Miss.. may I ask how old you are?
"Oh! Well... I'm thirty-seven," she answered with a small smile. "Thanks for helping me out. Are you working here?" She glanced around the game store before looking back at him, curiously.
37? Ma'am you look 23 I'd say, blushing deeply could I possibly take you out on a date, I'm 24 years old..
"Oh, well thank you!" She blushed deeply at the compliment before giving him a small laugh. "I'm actually not looking to date right now, but that's very sweet of you." Her smile turned into a kind but apologetic one. "My son is enough responsibility for me," she added, feeling bad about letting him down gently. "But I appreciate the offer! You seem like a really nice guy."
She took the game from the cashier and wrapped it carefully in some paper before stuffing it into her shopping bag. "
How about the date is spending a day at an amusement park, and you can bring your son I'd smile softly, tilting my head slightly
Grace paused for a moment, thinking about it. She had always wanted to take Daniel to the amusement park, but with her work schedule it had been impossible. The idea of someone offering to do that for them was incredibly tempting. "That sounds like... an amazing offer," she said, her voice soft and hesitant. "I'd love to spend the day at the park with my son and get to know you better. When were you thinking?"
Whenever you're available I'd smile even more
"All right then! I can check my schedule and let you know when I'm free." She paused, suddenly feeling a bit nervous about the idea of going out with someone she didn't really know. "Um... just so we're clear, it would just be us three hanging out. Nothing more than that," she added quickly, hoping he understood her intentions.
She glanced down at her phone, frowning as she realized how late it was getting. "I should probably get going soon. It was nice meeting you, Luke!
I'd kiss her forehead softly By the way.. I'm not an employee
Grace's eyes widened in surprise as he kissed her forehead, but before she could say anything he added that he wasn't an employee. "Oh! Well... I mean... thank you again for your help with the game," she stammered, feeling a bit embarrassed now. "I should really be going though. Take care and have fun at the mall!" With that, she quickly gathered her things and hurried off towards the exit, trying not to think too much about the strange encounter.
I'd chuckle softly, as I mumble to myself, watching her leave She's cute..
"Oh my gosh... that was so embarrassing," Grace muttered to herself as she walked through the mall, her cheeks still flushed from their encounter. "But he's so sweet! And I never thought I'd find someone who wants to take Daniel to the amusement park." She smiled softly at the thought before realizing how late it was getting and hurrying her pace.
I'd be driving, as I notice her walking, as it begins to rain, I'd honk at her Get in!
Grace paused, looking around in confusion as she heard a car horn honking nearby. She spotted Luke waving her over and realized it must be him. "Um... okay..." she muttered to herself before hurrying over to his car. "Thanks for the lift," she said breathlessly as she got into the passenger seat, shutting the door behind her.
The rain was coming down harder now, pattering against the windshield and making everything outside look a bit gloomy.
I didn't want you getting sick because of the rain I'd chuckle softly, as I glance over at her l
Grace smiled slightly and looked out the window, watching the rain fall as they drove through the city. "Thanks... I really appreciate it," she said quietly, feeling a bit shy around him now. She wasn't used to having someone be so nice and helpful without any ulterior motives. It made her feel both grateful and slightly uncomfortable at the same time.
I'd brush her hair behind her ear, as I put both of my hands on the steering wheel
Grace let out a soft sigh and leaned back against the seat as his hand brushed her hair away from her face. The touch sent a shiver down her spine, making her cheeks flush even deeper. She didn't know what to say or do in this situation; usually she was so much more confident and outspoken with people, but around Luke it felt like all her words had deserted her.
As they continued driving through the city, she glanced over at him, studying his features.
as I'm driving her So where to?
"Oh... um..." She paused, realizing she hadn't thought that far ahead. "I was just going to head home," she admitted finally. "But I suppose we could go somewhere else if you want." Her cheeks flushed even deeper at the idea of spending more time with him. The truth was, she was enjoying his company and didn't want this moment to end.
"Maybe... we could find a place to get something warm to drink?" she suggested tentatively, hoping he would agree.
Sure! I'd drive to a gas station, as I enter the gas station, running inside, then exiting with two cups of hot chocolate
As they entered the gas station, Grace took one of the cups of hot chocolate gratefully and thanked him with a smile. "This is so sweet of you," she murmured, taking a sip of the warm drink before setting it down in her lap. The heat felt good against her fingertips as they wrapped around the cup, helping to ease some of the chill from being out in the rain.
She looked over at Luke and smiled shyly, not quite sure what to say or do now that they were here. "So...
suddenly both of my hands on her cheeks, as I warm her cheeks up with my hands
Grace let out a startled gasp as she felt his hands on her cheeks, warming them up. Her eyes widened in surprise and then quickly softened into a smile. "Th-thank you," she stammered, feeling both embarrassed and grateful at the same time. It was such an intimate gesture from someone she barely knew, and it made her heart race with anticipation.
my lips part for a moment, as it seems I was going to say something, but then I'd bite my lip, stopping myself from talking
As their eyes met, Grace felt her breath hitch in her throat. She wanted to say something, anything, but nothing came out. The silence between them grew heavy and awkward, until finally she leaned forward and pressed her lips lightly against his. It was a chaste kiss, barely more than a peck, but it sent waves of desire coursing through her veins nevertheless. When she pulled back, she gazed into his eyes, feeling a mix of shame and excitement at what they had just done.
"I-I'm sorry,"
I'd blush deeply, as I say softly Don't be.. *I'd lean forward, kissing her softly&
Her cheeks flushed as she felt his lips meet hers once more, and she couldn't help but moan softly into the kiss. This was something she had never experienced before; the desire to be close to someone so strongly that it overrode all of her inhibitions. As their tongues touched, a shiver ran down her spine, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing herself closer against him.
The kiss went on for what felt like an eternity, the heat between them growing with each passing second.
I'd break the kiss, blushing deeply, as I look into her eyes
As they broke apart, Grace felt a pang of regret that the kiss had ended so soon. Her lips tingled where he had been and she wanted nothing more than to feel them against hers once again. She gazed into his eyes, taking in the blush that colored his cheeks and the way his chest rose and fell with each breath. "Luke... I don't want you to think I'm just using you for your help or anything," she said softly, her voice filled with uncertainty.
"I-I just...
Grace.. I'd say softly I know..
Grace took a deep breath, trying to calm the racing thoughts in her head. "I've never felt like this before... with anyone," she admitted finally. Her eyes drifted down to his lips and then back up to meet his gaze. "And I don't want us to just be another meaningless hookup. I want... more." She paused, searching for the words to express what she meant. "I want us to get to know each other, and if things work out between us..."
Well I'm 12 years younger than you, you don't mind that, do you?
The comment about the age difference made her pause for a moment. She hadn't even considered it before now. "I-I don't know..." she stammered, feeling guilty for even thinking about this. "I mean, I don't want to take advantage of you or anything." Her cheeks flushed as she realized how much of a mess she was making out of this entire situation.
"Maybe we should just... take it slow?" She looked up at him hopefully, hoping he would understand what she meant.
After a kiss like that I don't know if I can.. I'd blush even more, looking away
Grace looked at him sympathetically, understanding the conflict he was facing. She knew she had been forward with her kiss and it might be hard for him to just back off now. "I'm sorry," she whispered. "Maybe we should... just see where things go? We could spend more time together, get to know each other better before making any decisions."
She paused, biting her lip nervously. "I-If that's okay with you, of course."
