Midwee Date

Returning home from a long day at work, Emory opened the door to the apartment she shared with her boyfriend Cooper to find music playing. It was out of the ordinary for Cooper to be home before she was, though she was late herself this evening. Walking past the living room she saw Cooper sitting on the couch reading a book. She stopped at the side of the living room doorway without announcing her presence.

As she waited for Cooper to see her, Emory studied him with fondness. He had short brown hair that was a few shades lighter than her own deep, dark brown hair. Cooper didn't bother much with styling his hair so it was usually somewhat messy like it was right now. His hazel eyes were focused intently on his book and his mouth was closed in a way that Emory was familiar with seeing on occasions Cooper was fully engrossed in something. The sight of Cooper lightened her mood and slightly relaxed the leftover mental strain from her day.

Cooper noticed Emory and placed a bookmark into his book before putting it down on the coffee table. Turning his attention to Emory he smiled warmly. "Hey Em, how was your day?"

Emory smiled back. "Hi, it was kind of a tough day. How did your day go? You're home early."

Cooper nodded. "It was a fairly typical work day for me, nothing out of the ordinary. However, at the end of the day I just wasn't feeling up to going to the gym."

"I wish I had come home sooner now." Emory put her bag down and went to sit down beside Cooper on the couch. She shuffled in so that she was nestled into Cooper's side. He lifted his arm so Emory could move in closer and put his arm around her shoulders before giving her a small kiss on her head. They sat without speaking for a while, simply enjoying each other's company and the feel of physical contact.

Eventually the routine of life asserted itself and Emory broke the silence. "What do we have planned for dinner tonight?"

"I've got some marinated steak in the fridge and the salad ingredients for Thai beef salad."

Emory hummed with thought. She wasn't opposed to Thai beef salad but it wasn't quite fitting her mood either. She could see her and Cooper having dinner and then afterward sitting together on the couch, watching television or reading. Sitting with Cooper's arm around her and feeling the warmth of his body, Emory felt like she wanted a night that was more active and potentially heart racing.

Cooper interpreted her thoughtful hum and lack of response as being a negative reaction. "You're not interested in that. Is there something else you're thinking of for dinner?"

Softly shaking her head, Emory tried to come up with a response that articulated what she wanted for the night. "Thai beef salad sounds nice but I think I'd like something a bit more exciting."

Cooper's eyebrows rose with curiosity. "Oh, more exciting in what way?"

She took a moment to think before a smile broke out on her face. "In a number of ways. We should go out for dinner and then have some fun."

A nod from Cooper showed that he was interested. "Where would we go to eat?"

Emory had an answer for that. "We can go to that burger diner that we read about a little while ago. Rusty's, I think it was called. I remember seeing that they had some delicious looking burgers."

Cooper smiled and nodded. "And what would we do after eating?"

Emory shrugged. "I'm not sure yet. We can think about that while we eat."

"Okay, then. Are we going now or do you want to relax here for a while longer?"

"We should go now, neither of us wants a late night out."

"That's true." Cooper lifted his arm from around Emory and with slight reluctance she rose from the couch.

Emory went to pick up her bag and started to head toward their bedroom. She stopped when Cooper called out her name. She took a step backwards so that she could see him properly.

"Do you know what you're going to wear?"

Emory thought for a second before nodding. "Yeah. The LBD."

Cooper's eyebrows briefly rose before he nodded in acknowledgement. "So we're going a little classy?"

Emory smiled. "At least in appearance. I can't make any promises about how I'll behave." She saw a grin appear on Cooper's face but before he could respond, Emory continued on to their bedroom.

The walk-in wardrobe in their bedroom was filled with Emory's clothes only. She and Cooper had originally tried sharing the wardrobe space but Emory had a much larger assortment of clothes that she couldn't bear to split into two groups with the other smaller group kept in the wardrobe of the spare bedroom. Cooper eventually ceded the whole wardrobe space in their bedroom to Emory and kept his clothes in the spare bedroom.

Emory stripped off all of her clothes, leaving on her thick black frame glasses. She took her little black dress from its hanger and carefully laid it out on the bed before going to her underwear drawer. While she had nice sexy bras that she could wear under her dress, Emory decided to forego wearing one for tonight's date. After a quick search, Emory pulled out a lacy black thong. She slipped the thong on and went to the mirror to quickly inspect how it looked.

The top part of the thong's front was quite sheer, meaning that the top of the neat patch of dark hair above Emory's pussy was visible through the material. Turning around, Emory looked over her shoulder and saw that the dark material of the thong perfectly framed the pale cheeks of her ass. Emory liked how the roundness of her ass added some curve to the shape of her body. Facing front on to the mirror again, Emory's gaze travelled upward past the slight outward curve of her belly to her small breasts. She liked their shape and the light pink nipples that capped them but she thought that her breasts should be bigger. Emory was around average height so the small size of her chest seemed more obvious.

She always wore loose, modest clothes to work, mostly because she wasn't looking to attract attention in the office but her clothes also helped to conceal things she wasn't satisfied with her body. Cooper always said he liked her small breasts and he certainly paid them a good amount of attention but as much as Emory appreciated that, his opinion wasn't objective.

Emory went to the bed and picked up her little black dress. After putting on the dress, Emory was pleased to find that it still fit her perfectly. It was a classic kind of little black mini dress with shoulder straps and a loose neckline that was tasteful but could be used to hint of naughtiness. The hem of the dress was fairly short, going down to her upper thighs. While Emory was at no risk of accidentally showing off part of her ass, the dress' length would provide a somewhat tantalising tease when Emory was viewed from behind.

Emory next went to touch up her makeup. She didn't feel the need to get fully done up but she did accentuate her eyes a little more and put on some bold red lipstick.

With her make-up done, Emory changed her thick black framed glasses for a pair that had smaller lenses and a thin half frame. Checking her appearance, Emory decided that she would put her hair up. Emory rearranged her hair into an up do and used a butterfly clip to hold it in place at the back. She then gave herself a small spray of a perfume that she knew Cooper liked.

To complete her outfit Emory put on a pair of black heels and grabbed a short coat that covered her down to her hips. She left the front of the coat undone for now so that Cooper would be able to see her dress in full. Taking out her black handbag, Emory put in a few things she thought she might need tonight.

Once Emory was ready she left the bedroom and found that Cooper was ready and waiting for her. He had taken her cue and was dressed smartly but not too formally. Cooper was wearing black trousers, a white collared shirt with a skinny black tie and a black dinner jacket. He had even put on leather dress shoes.

Emory and Cooper's eyes met and they both smiled in appreciation of how the other looked. Cooper took a few steps forward to meet Emory. "You look absolutely beautiful."

The compliment had Emory smiling wider. Up close to each other she could smell that Cooper had put on some cologne which had a fresh slightly citrus scent. Cooper usually wore this cologne when they were going out on a date. The scent evoked memories of other nights out together, of being wrapped up in Cooper's arms and being kissed firmly. Those memories brought a flush warmth to Emory's core and her smile picked up a hint of desire. "You look stunningly handsome."

Cooper's smile widened and he put his arm around her back and pulled her closer for a quick kiss. For a moment after Cooper moved back from the kiss, Emory almost felt like staying home and taking Cooper straight to bed. The desire to go out and have fun was stronger though. Emory moved toward the front door. "We should get going before we end up staying home."

Cooper grinned and nodded as he followed after her. "Lead on then my lady."

The drive to the diner was filled with chat about the more memorable details of their days at work. When they arrived at the diner, there were a decent number of other people out for dinner as well. It was still early in the night so it wasn't unexpected for there to be people out and about, even for a Wednesday night. The number of customers at the restaurant seemed like a good indication that the food must be decent.

Cooper entered the diner first and held the door open for Emory. Inside, the diner had a not quite retro decor that wasn't new but was in good condition. Close to the registers there was a jukebox but Emory couldn't tell if it was functional or just there for decoration. There was classic rock playing in the diner but it was only at background music volume.

Cooper and Emory approached the register where they were greeted by a waitress. "Hi, Welcome to Rusty's. We have menus at each table so if you would like to choose a table we'll come by shortly to take your order."

Cooper thanked the waitress before taking a few steps toward the dining area. "How about the booth over there?" Cooper pointed to a booth that was toward the back corner of the diner. There were only a few customers sitting nearby so the booth would be quieter and a bit more private. Cooper looked to Emory for her input and she nodded in approval.

They headed over to the booth and Emory thought she could feel a few eyes following her and Cooper. Compared to the other customers in the diner, she and Cooper were overdressed. That was part of the fun of getting dressed up though. When she was out on a date with Cooper, Emory's usual aversion to attention was flipped on its head. She liked to be seen with Cooper, having fun, enjoying each other's company and doing couples activities.

Cooper took off his jacket and slid into one side of the booth. It was cool enough inside the diner for Emory to leave her coat on and she chose to not take it off. She slid into the other side of the booth to sit across from Cooper. They took a few minutes to study the menus on the table before looking up at each other. Emory smiled when Cooper asked the question he always asked when they went out to eat. "What are you thinking of ordering?"

Emory knew what she wanted to order but made a show of thinking and feigning uncertainty. "I'm not sure. What are you having?"

"The classic cheese is always a good safe choice but the spicy mac and cheese burger looks interesting."

Emory kept her face neutral as she tried to provoke a reaction. "You know, I'm actually not that hungry. Maybe I'll just get a salad."

Cooper frowned, studied her face and smiled as he recognised that Emory was playing with him. She grinned widely. "I'm going to order the bacon and cheese. I don't think they even have a salad on the menu."

Cooper shook his head gently. "For a second you had me wondering what was the point of us going out."

A small delighted chuckle burst out from Emory. "I'm just trying to keep you on your toes."

One of Cooper's eyebrows rose and he looked at her with an uncertain expression for a moment. The look on his face delighted Emory even more and on seeing her clear enjoyment of his reaction, Cooper smiled and shook his head gently again.

He looked back down at the menu. "If you want fries as a side, we could get a basket to share."

"Ah, I didn't take a proper look at what other sides they had." Emory looked back down at the menu.

As they examined the menu they started discussing some of the other items on the menu. Seeing mozzarella sticks as one of the options for sides, Cooper mentioned the mozzarella sticks they had tried on a past date night. Emory smiled at the memory, those had been some really tasty mozzarella sticks, probably too tasty. Since the burgers they were going to order were going to be substantial they didn't want to choose a side that could be too rich or filling and ruin their appetite. Emory and Cooper ended up deciding to stick with having fries with their burgers.

A little while later a waitress came by to take their orders. To go with their burgers and fries, Cooper ordered a cola while Emory decided to get a strawberry milkshake.

When the waitress left, Cooper and Emory looked at each other and shared a smile. Emory was enjoying the good vibes of being out on a date with Cooper and getting to share a new experience. Thinking about what she wanted from their night out, trying a new restaurant wasn't quite enough for Emory. She wanted to flirt with Cooper and tease him so that there was also sexual charge to their night.

Emory leaned forward and slightly pulled down on the front of her dress. She didn't pull it down far enough to fully expose her breasts but it did reveal a lot more cleavage. Cooper's eyes widened and he watched closely to see if she would expose more of her breasts. When Emory put her dress back in place Cooper met her gaze with a touch of awe. "That was pretty daring."

Emory grinned. "Only a little, my coat is giving me some excellent cover. You're the only one with a proper front on view."

Cooper casually looked around them to confirm what Emory was saying. When his eyes settled back on Emory he had a small excited grin. Emory could see that he had picked up on how she was feeling and that itself gave her tiny tingle of excitement. She bit her lip coyly. "You liked that?"

A small chuckle burst from Cooper at the suggestion that it was possible he didn't like it. "Of course, I'm just sorry I can't return the favour." His hands went to the knot in his tie and adjusted it slightly.

Emory shook her head lightly. "That's okay, the look in your eyes when I pulled down on my dress was enough to give me a thrill too."

A spark of interest appeared in Cooper's eyes and one of his eyebrows rose. "Oh?"

While Emory would have liked to increase the heat of her teasing, they were in a semi-busy restaurant and they had food that would be coming at any time. She decided that it was better that she and Cooper keep the teasing to a safe for public level. Innuendo and referencing personal things only she and Cooper knew could still be hot and in an odd way might be even more fun.

Emory lightly shrugged with mock innocence. "I can't help that I find it fun to get a rise out of you." She saw that the double meaning of her words were immediately understood as a smile spread across Cooper's face.

Cooper and Emory started trading playful comments and small talk that wouldn't catch anyone's attention but would be somewhat obvious to someone actively listening to what they were saying. The back and forth was mostly fun but there was a definite undercurrent of sexual tension.

It wasn't long before Emory and Cooper's food and drinks arrived and after the waitress left they took a moment to study their food. To Emory's eyes, the kitchen had managed the rare feat of making the burgers look artfully constructed and delicious. The fries were also highly appetising, appearing perfectly fried and coated with an even dusting of salt. Emory and Cooper looked up at each other, both wearing impressed expressions. Emory smiled with excitement. "I feel like I should take a picture of the food. I hope it tastes as good as it looks."

Cooper nodded but then his brow creased briefly as his eyes focused on her mouth. "It just occurred to me that the effort you went to with your makeup might go to waste. Eating your burger is going to play havoc with your lipstick."

Emory shrugged. "I can always reapply my makeup." Seeing her strawberry milkshake she smiled back at Cooper. "Anyway, I wanted to look good for you." Emory placed her milkshake right in front of her and wrapped her red lips around the straw. She focused her eyes on Cooper as she pushed her mouth further down onto the straw and then rose back up again. As her cheeks hollowed while she sucked up some milkshake an amused look appeared on Cooper's face. Emory lifted her mouth from the straw and made a small show of swallowing and humming with approval. Cooper clapped faintly. "Have I told you how much I appreciate the things you do for me."

Underneath Cooper's light tone there was clear sincerity that made Emory feel warm and light inside. She smiled widely. "You have, but I could stand to hear it more."

Cooper smiled and nodded as he picked up his burger and took a bite. His expression showed pleased surprise which turned into enjoyment. Emory took a bite of her own burger and as the burger patty, bacon and cheese hit her tongue, the flavour triggered the pleasure centres of her brain. A deep hum of enjoyment arose from Emory, her eyes met with Cooper's and they both smiled around the mouthfuls they were chewing.

The earlier playful jousting was set aside as both Emory and Cooper focused on their food. There wasn't much talking other than to remark on how good the burgers and fries were.

Once they had both finished their burgers, Emory and Cooper started talking while they took their time to finish the fries and their drinks. The conversation started with what they each had going on for the rest of the work week. Neither of them had anything all that notable happening but they enjoyed hearing what the other was doing with most of their waking hours and the little tangents that came up about their colleagues. From there the conversation moved on to the upcoming weekend.

Emory was going to go out with her friends for a day in the city. Cooper had similar plans with his friends but they were likely going to spend the day gaming. Emory was looking forward to seeing her friends but she was also feeling a desire to spend some serious time in bed with Cooper. The thought of a long unhurried session of her and Cooper entwining their naked bodies in the warmth of bed was tempting enough that Emory had to suggest it. "I know we both have plans with friends on the weekend but how about we each cancel and then we can spend all day Saturday having sex."

Cooper chuckled but there was a look in his eyes that told Emory that a part of him liked the idea. "As good as that sounds, I can't let my friends down, it's been about a month since we've all been together in person."

Emory pouted playfully and Cooper shrugged. "If you still feel that horny on Friday night, I promise to give you all the sex you want then."

Cooper's words sent a flush of heat through Emory followed by a pulse of arousal. She could feel her nipples tighten and she shifted in her seat. Her mouth quirked into a coy smile. "I'm going to hold you to that."

Cooper gave her a slight nod as he smiled before draining the rest of his cola. Emory finished off her milkshake and pushed the container away from her. "We're done here, let's go somewhere else."

Cooper smiled and nodded. "Do you have somewhere in mind?"

"I have a few ideas but I'd like to drive around for a while."
