"I can't believe he asked you out," Sophia gasps in disbelief.
I frown, "You make it sound like it's a dreadful thing."
Sophia laughs, "It's not, I just thought he had better taste."
Ouch.
"So, what are you going to wear?"
I sigh, "We are having sushi at his house, so I was thinking of jeans and a simple T-shirt and some sneakers."
Sophia cringes, "Ew no."
"What do you mean no?"
"If you want to impress the king, you have to do better than that honey, show some boob and some leg."

He is sweet and funny, caring, and compassionate, most of all I am falling in love with him, much quicker than I had expected. I love the way he speaks to me with kindness, love, and patience, he isn't demanding or aggressive. "Did you enjoy the sushi?" he asks as he traces his finger down my bare arm.

It must be the wine talking but I nod, missing his lips on mine, "Yes." He leans forward and gently places his lips on mine, my body tingles and I place my hands on his thighs, he pulls me closer to deepen the kiss. I can get used to this I think as I wrap my arms around his neck, I feel his hands move down to my waist, he pulls away and I frown. What could it be this time?
