"Did you find everything you needed?" I asked politely, yet with a hint of amusement.
Usually this question was involuntary and mechanical, seeing as us employees just had to kiss the customers ass for any given reason. It was the few customers on occasion that would send off the sincere friendly vibe that you couldn't help but duplicate. This guy seemed mysterious and very flirtatious. I couldn't help but to counter attack.
He grinned, and I swear my heart stopped for a moment. His whole face light up, almost making him look cherubic and adorable, but somehow working the sexy yet subtle angle. As if he didn't know he was so good looking. I guess modesty is a great trait to have.
"I think so," his eyes scanned me up and down. He was smirking now. I think I may have even blushed. He smiled even more.
So, he's that type.
"Do you need any help?" I looked up from my eyelashes, smiling playfully.
"Well," he cleared his throat "your phone number would be just great." he set his basket down and leaned over the counter, waiting for my answer with an amused expression.
He seemed straight forward and didn't like to fuck around the bush. I think I liked him already.
"Hmmm..." I placed a finger on my chin contemplating this proposal.
"So when do you want the date?" I asked casually, wrapping my hair in a towel, my neck and shoulder clutching the phone to my ear.
"Tonight is good with me. You?"
"Perfect."
By some god or hamster given miracle, my roommate wasn't home. We had special signals we made up incase we had a 'guest' so the other person wouldn't disturb. So I placed an empty milk glass right in the middle of the living room floor while Gerard took his sweet ass time looking through my DVDs and CDs on the rack, his back hunched over, looking over the titles. I tackled him to the ground before he could notice anything.
I'll admit, as much as I claim to be 'independent' and the 'don't need a man to run my life' mantra every woman wanted to believe, but I fucking loved to be dominated.
Gerard was stronger than he looked. My initial thought was he would be the gentle lover, wanting him and his partner to come together and all that sentimental bullshit. I do enjoy it on occasion, but where's the fun in that? I wanted it rough and without abandon, hard enough so I was sore in the morning. Perhaps it was his eyes that fooled me, or the adorable boyish smile he wore all night. I wanted to wipe that smile right off his face.
