A pleasant meal

“I hadn’t dared to hope” I say out loud, and it was true. Jane was honestly my type, in love with bookstores and had a healthy amount of sass and sarcasm.

The fact that she was very pretty didn’t hurt at all..

Nor the fact that her sister is my literal sex toy..

My thoughts snapped back to our conversation and it looked like Jane was about to ask me a question, but I was saved by the food.

Two bateira, Assorted tempura, and Three different rolls, including a house special called the Elder Dragon roll that had hot sauce. I raised a brow at her - and yet again as if to answer my question “Yup. The owners Looove gaming. I even used to play d&d with them.”

Now that we were into familiar territory I asked her about her character.

She grinned at me, her eyes so much like her sisters glinted back.

But here those eyes held mischief. “A tiefling warlock!” She cackled “Her ancestor was a succubus as her patron is none other than “ and she paused for dramatic effect, using her chopsticks to pick up a piece of octopus “Cthulhu’s brother!” She announced. Then slipped the tentacle into her mouth and chomped.

I laughed and asked “Why am I thinking of hentai now?” I asked.

Jane laughed and it was pleasant and full throated. Before she could answer, I asked her another question. “Chaotic neutral?”

‘Of course!’ Jane responded.

The nerdy topics, cheap but plentiful sushi and the sake put me into a great mood and it almost let me forget my troubles.

It was hours later as we were leaving the restaurant that we remembered about Chantal’s phone and Jane commented “She’s always doing things last minute without telling anyone. Hope she has a good spa week or whatever it is.”

In a spur of confidence I ask Jane “Yeah, you both seem so unalike. But I was meaning to ask, why give me your number? What made me stand out?”

She smiled, moved close and put a hand around my neck, her fingers curling into my hair.

“We met in a bookstore” she slipped her body closer, her eyes looking at my lips

“You’re cute, and that never hurts..” her eyes flicked up to mine - almost identical to her sisters, save for the newer white flecks in Chantal’s..

“And, you put my sister in her place.”

_If she only knew.. _I thought.

“These are all good things in my book” she continued as she drew her lips close to mine. Then at the last second using turned and kissed me on the cheek.

Giggled then said “Text you tomorrow”.
