Second Chances

Day Two, Part Three - Date Time...

There was a short car journey to get to where the date with AJ was being held. She was sitting at a white picnic style table, the scenery around the area was certainly picturesque.
She had her back to where I had been dropped off and hadn't realised that I had arrived. Which meant I had a moment longer to think about how I was going to play this.
Should I go full on flirty with her? Or just see how it goes and follow her direction of how the conversation would go.

I put one foot in front of the other and decided to see how it felt when I got there.

Hearing my footsteps approaching she turns with a smile. "Hey Luna, thanks for coming." She stands up and greets me with a kiss to my cheek.

"Saved the best till last." I joke.

"Maybe I did." She says with a wink, then pulls out my chair.

"Oh, why thank you." I take a seat, pretending to fan myself.

She moves back to her seat, then pours us both a drink from the jug with what looked like sangria in it. We cheers and take a sip, she gives great eye contact as we drink making my skin start to heat up.
Damn it! Talia was right, her eye contact was immense. If that's how she makes me feel with just a look, imagine what she could do with her touch.

I pick up my glass for another sip, the coolness of the liquid helps counteract my heating skin at the thought of her touch on me.

"So, are you ready for this amazing date? Or are you all dated out?" I ask with a smirk.

"You know what, I think I'm done for the day. Shall we just call the car and go back?" She says, trying to play along and keep a straight face.

"Oh that's a shame, as I had some things I wanted to get off my chest after our encounter this morning. But if you're not up for it, we can go." I say, moving to stand up.

AJ's hand shoots out to hold mine in place on the table. She clears her throat, "I mean it would be a waste to not enjoy this view and the landscape isn't bad either."

I sit back down, "Well I can't say no to the beautiful 'landscape' can I?"

We both fall into a fit of laughter, I loved the fact that we had that kind of banter already, but I didn't want it to always be just jokes. I'd had that before, if that had worked I wouldn't be here.
I still needed a mixture of that, but I also needed some seriousness and of course a bit of sexiness too.
Physical touch was a thing I craved more than anything, maybe I should take the flirting up a notch, to see if we are compatible in that way too.

"So on a scale of 1-10, how much am I going to have to work to get your head to turn my way?" I pout.

"You're doing a good job so far, but I'm not going to give away all my cards just yet, so let's say it's at a 5. My previous dates were quite flirtatious and fun, do you think you can keep that vibe up?" She asks.

I laugh, placing my hand on top of hers. "If you look up the words 'fun' and 'flirt' in the dictionary, you'd see a picture of me babes. The question is - think you can handle me?"

AJ leans forward, crooking her finger beckoning me to come closer. I lean in and she whispers, "I've been known to handle a lot, some people say I've got magic hands. So I think you'd be in good hands."

"Magic hands you say, perhaps we can test that by putting them to good use later." I wink, gently stroking my fingers across her knuckles.

AJ blushes, but doesn't back down flirting back. "If you play your cards right, you may just see them in action."

Time seems to speed by as I am getting to know AJ, it seems as though she is also enjoying spending the time getting to know me. We talk without having any awkward moments and we flirt unashamedly. We get into deeper conversations by talking about what it was we were looking for and what we wanted in life. Surprisingly we have a few similar things we are looking for, she was also a touchy, feely and sexual person with the person she was interested in and needed that sort of attention back. She also wanted to go on adventures around the world with a partner before settling down to have a family.
