Chapter 6
Courtney was getting nervous. "Usually he responds after something like this."
We had sent the technically still mandated picture of Courtney's fucked pussy to her blackmailer. Then, since he hadn't replied, Courtney took the time to take me up on my offer of a dinner date.
"Let's just enjoy the time together and we'll see what he says when he replies." I told her.
We ended up going to a local sushi place, since it turned out we both loved sushi. It was a nicer place, a little pricey, but Courtney insisted and she was paying (despite my objections).
Courtney was looking good in a tight top that showed of her tits and a tight leather skirt that just made her ass beg to be fucked. The one time she bent over it pulled the skirt tight enough I could see the strings of her thong pressed onto the leather and it gave me an erection that would last until we got home.
"I'll try, but I wish I knew what he was up to." Courtney accepted glumly.
The conversation turned to books, and it turned out we were both fantasy lovers.
"The Eragon movie was a crime against literature." Courtney declared, "Almost as bad as the Avatar: The Last Airbender movie."
"Right! Hollywood needs to either learn that a beloved book is beloved for a reason and 'Artistic Licenses' just pisses people off, or they need to stop doing film adaptations of books and start actually making films of original concepts." I started.
"Yea, verily. " Courtney announced piously.
We chatted about books we liked. I was a little more into action fantasy, and she was a little more into the romance aspect, but I liked some romance with my action and she liked action with her romance.
"Have you ever tried Dungeons and Dragons?" I asked.
"No. The one time I tried, I went to a local game store and the Dungeon Master was a creep and tried to hit on me. I was sixteen. He was like thirty." She recalled with a shudder.
"We'll have to play sometime." I told her, "Though I'm a little old school. I personally like the third edition. Fourth edition was garbage, almost anyone will tell you that. Fifth edition is better. But in my opinion: third edition was an eight, good but with room for improvement; fourth edition was a two, it could get worse but not by much; and fifth edition is a 6, better than fourth edition, but why play it when third edition is better?"
Courtney laughs, "Sounds like I have a lot to learn, and not just about Computer Science."
We were both computer science majors.Iit turns out Courtney had decided if she was actually going to work, instead of living off her trust fund. She was going to go into either web design or game development.
"The nice thing for me is I could open my own gaming studio." She explained, "My team and I could work on anything we wanted. And a breakout game would put us on the board and make us millions."
Her mother had disapproved of her gaming, since it wasn't ladylike, until her late teens. "I'm so behind on games," she bemoaned, "and the worst part is going back and playing games that were revolutionary in their time just doesn't do it for me. Like the first Legend of Zelda game I played was Skyward Sword, and everyone says Ocarina of Time was game changing, but I don't get it because I started after it. Twilight Princess felt more revolutionary to me, but that's just because it was the biggest jump I saw in the series, but going back to the older animation with only less freedom just didn't do it for me."
We both had liked anime growing up but had too much to do recently to really keep up on the new stuff. Once again, I was a little more into action than romance, with the reverse being true for her, but both appreciated the other aspect in our anime.
We finished up our sushi, Courtney paid, tipping generously, "Never anger your sushi chef." She declared overly dramatically. "You never want a mad sushi chef."
We had taken an Uber to dinner and ordered another to take us home. We were both sober, but neither of us had a car.
