Chatting over drinks

They sat at a booth and looked at the menu as they engaged in idle smalltalk about each of their jobs. {if JerkHasNumber = True}Hannah was still sipping on her Martini while Ashton ordered a gin and tonic.{else}Hannah ordered a martini, while Ashton ordered a gin and tonic.{endif} Soon they immersed themselves in the conversation, and the rest of the world faded away.

“- And then both of her friends are running away from her, while the other girl from the circle pounces to hunt one of them! And then she sings, ‘Oh, I’m better… This way. My way!’... It’s really well done, the whole thing! So many metaphors and stuff…”

Ashton’s face was animated as he tried explaining it, while Hannah smiled, a hand on her cheek. To be honest she was only half-following what he said, but she loved seeing this different side of him, that only peeked out occasionally when he was talking about something that interested him. So enthusiastic and lively, and so different from his usual, reserved self.

“- When I tried it for the first time, I couldn’t even keep them alive for more than a month. They'd just wilt away and die, and that was so discouraging…” Hannah confessed, an embarrassed smile on her face. “For a while I didn’t even dare buy any plants. Was afraid that... Oh, I don’t know. That I was unable to care for even a plant, that they were all fated to die by my hands.”

“Fated?” Ashton chuckled. “Like, a curse or something?”

“Yeah!” She laughed back. “The touch of ****, you know? Or that I was unfit to take care of even a plant. I dunno… But then, I looked up some stuff online and decided to try again. Small at first, of course, just one plant, but this time it actually lasted. Those begonias survived a whole year! I was so happy! And that’s when I started really getting into gardening. It’s a bit hard when you have an apartment, but…”

Ashton listened to her with interest, leaning forward and eyes alert.

{if Branch2Card = True}“Oh…” Hannah realized then that she had forgotten about the thank you card she planned to give him, it was still in her purse! So she stopped halfway to her story while mumbling, “oh, and since we’re talking about my plants…” before she took the card from her purse and handed it over to him. His eyes lit up with surprised joy before he took it and opened, reading for a moment.

“That… That’s so sweet!” He said, almost at loss for words. Then he looked at her, beaming with gratitude, before taking her hand in both of his and kissing it. “It’s a lovely gesture. Thanks!” She smiled, enjoying his joy as if it were her own, before they kissed each other’s lips. A brief, warm kiss that made her heart beat faster for a moment.

She was glad that she made that card.{endif}

Both of them were now busy eating. Their food had arrived, a vegetable chili bowl for him and a chicken dinner plate for her, and this consumed their attention, temporarily slowing down their conversation.

“You were right,” said Ashton between mouthfuls, with an impressed nod. “This food is good!”

She smiled at him and finished chewing and swallowing before replying to him. “They’ve been here for a while. It’s a small business, but their food has always been great!”

He nodded back, taking another forkful into his mouth. They kept glancing at each other and making brief comments in between bites, enjoying the amiable silence together as they ate.

“- So I’m glad to have finally left my hometown, you know? It was so small there, so hard to get away from people who knew who you were!” Ashton took another sip from his second gin and tonic, now halfway empty, and his expression grew more somber. “I wasn’t happy there, to be honest.”

“Too restrictive?” She asked.

“Eeeh. My childhood was kinda miserable, to be honest,” he confessed, looking away. There was a moment of brief, awkward silence before he clarified. “Nothing really bad or anything happened. I was just… You know. A lonely kid. And I got bullied. I... I just don’t get it when people say that high school is the best years of their lives, you know? They really weren't for me.”

“Oh.” Hannah’s brows went up. She tried to find the right thing to say, but could only manage to say, “... That’s awful!”

He handwaved it away and **** a smile. “Water under the bridge! And when I left for college things improved a lot! Personally, I’m glad to put that behind me. College was so much better! Everyone there was at least somewhat interested in learning from the classes, and I slowly started… Just growing, as a person, you know? Learning what I was actually liked, and coming out of my shell, after being stuck in my hometown, and in a bad situation, for so long. I made new friends, got new hobbies… It was great! ” His sadness quickly melted away as he shifted the subject, and Hannah smiled in turn.

“Coming out of your shell?” She scoffed. “Does that mean you were even more shy before?”

“Err, yes,” he admitted, a sheepish grin on his face. “I couldn’t even talk to a girl before...” He glanced at her, adding, “especially not one as beautiful as you.”

“Flatterer,” she retorted, trying not to grin too much. “So, did you get a girlfriend back then too? In your wild college days?”

He chuckled back. “No, my college days were fun, but I wouldn’t call them wild. My friends were more low-key, a bit like me. There was a girl then, but… Well, it never went anywhere.” He took another sip, finishing his drink, then looked up at her. “What about you? How were your wild college days?”

Memories flashed back to her. {if Porn Star = True}Cameras locked on her as she moaned like a whore while her co-star fucked her doggystyle, pumping her pussy hard with his large, thick cock, stretching and filling her up as she moaned. {if Squirter = True}Her with a massive dildo, thrusting in and out of her pussy, her legs up to her chest, before with a loud gasp she pulled it out and squirted a jet that arced almost to the ceiling before it landed all over her bed and her naked body, making a mess everywhere.{endif}{if Gym bunny = True}Her with a strap-on, fucking another co-star hard in the ass, thrusting her hips relentlessly as she posed for the camera with a naughty smile, flexing her abs.

She frowned, and her face flushed slightly. How much should she say about her past?
