When We Have Sufficiently Tortured Each Other

Back to the hotel

You both hop into the car, you watch out the window to see people still leaving the theatre, some wave at the car, you look toward Cate who is looking out her window the windows are tinted but she still does a subtle sweet wave, you smile.

They might not be able to see that she's waving but she is 😌

She looks at you & smiles back at you

"So"
She says, turning her body toward you as she continues on
"Your hotel room"

"Yeah"
You answer

"How long have you booked for?"
She asks

"Only two nights, last night & tonight, but I can extend"
You say warmly

"Well I don't want you spending money"
She says quickly & seriously her smile going away, making you nervous. You worry she may not want you around any longer

"I ugh-"
You hum, unsure of what to say

She smiles again
"So I can have them extend your stay & just add it to my room"
She says

You worry goes away & a warmness floods you.
She really does want you there.

"No way! I don't want you spending money on me! I'll pay for it"
You say

"Oh hush you spent money on me, on the wine! Honestly I don't mind!"
She says warmly

"Cheap wine!"
You say with a laugh
"Honestly I couldn't let you do that"
You add

"Well let's meet in the middle... You can just stay with me in my room"
She says
Your stomach drops at the thought
"If you want to that is!"
She adds touching your shoulder

"Of course I want to! But that is certainly daunting, you will definitely get sick of me!"
You say with a smile

"Oh honey, it's a suite!"
She says in a sarcastic posh voice you both laugh together
"Honestly there's plenty of space, it will be good to have company, it's strange being the only one in a suite large enough for 4"
She adds

"You don't have to convince me, that will be amazing, it was a yes right away but I didn't want to throw myself at you again"
You say with a laugh

She gives a look:

"Bring it on"
She laughs, opens her arms & moves her fingers toward herself

You think she is flirting.
You decide to flirt back.

"Oh don't say that, you don't know what trouble you will get into"
You say mimicking her earlier words

"Like you said"
She says sexily & playfully
"Trouble is fun"
She says with a seductive grin
