So Glad I Met You (DBH Connor x Lia)

Chapter 24 - Date Night

Warning: So like... there's mentions of mature stuff like sex and all that stuff. I don't know if I should warn you or not since y'all reading are probably old enough. Nothing happens it's just a friendly chat about it. You may keep reading with the warning in mind. :)

Connor's POV

It's been a week since the events of what happened with Puma. She's still not fully comfortable that I locked all knives away from her, but we both knew it was for the best.

We agreed to not tell Hank anything, since we didn't want to trouble him with something Puma has been suffering with for years. I didn't want Puma to be depressed, I'm trying to make her happy but nothing I do seems to be working. Everything I do, I'm pretty sure Puma's mind tricks her into thinking something negative, no matter what it is.

A date! I shot up to a sitting position on the couch one day, while Puma wanted to go out and walk her dog. I'll take Puma on a date! Though most restaurants are closed, we could make it an at-home date. Yeah. I'll do that.

While waiting for Puma to arrive, I dashed upstairs to her computer. She'd told me her password before, it was 14795, which when looking at a key dial creates a capital 'L'. Looking for date ideas, I decided we could eat dinner and watch a movie. Simple and cute. Finding '15 Dinner Recipes for a Date Night', I set my eyes on sweet potato, kale, and shrimp skillet. Putting that on my checklist, I scroll to other sites to look for dating advice for guys.

Going through some questionable things, I went downstairs to start cooking the meal.

Puma's POV

I can't take it. My heart hurts a lot, like someone stabbing me in the chest and leaving the knife there. I don't feel good. I want it to be over. Hunter wasn't helping me either, he wanted me to throw sticks to him when I just needed a rest.

"Hey, girl, what you doing here alone in these dark, questionable times?" I heard someone near me. Looking to see who he was talking to, I turned around to see a guy looking back at me before sliding into the bench I was sitting in with me.

"Well, you gotta walk a dog whether you want to or not, you know?" I laughed.

"You seemed a little sad, everything alright? Just checking, I don't want to be a bother."

"No, not really. Just have a headache." I made a believable lie and rubbed my forehead.

"So I was looking at you for a while, I thought you looked cute. Can I have your number?" He asked the question I've heard dozens of times.

"You're not thinking I'm cute you think 'damn that girl got big titties!'. Don't lie to me." I looked him dead in the eyes as I confronted him.

"What? No, I wasn't thinking that-"

"Just go before you embarrass yourself." I shook my head.

"Gavin was right. You really are full of yourself." The man grunted standing up and began to walk away.

"Wait!" I called out after a snap of realization. The man turned around. "You know Gavin Reed? Is he okay?"

I had no idea why I was so worried about the asshole, but I did feel a bit bad when I hit him before going off with Connor.

"Yeah. He's in a hospital, but he's okay." The man said. "Watch your back, Anderson. He's coming for you. He hates your guts."

"Well if it takes him to stop asking me out after insulting and harassing me and my friends then I'm fine with that." I nodded.
