Chapter 18 by Cham3leon Cham3leon

What do you ultimately decide?

Classical concert

You wait next to the touch of Eros, {if Legendary player==true}feeling confident in your freshly-bought tux. You've done this plenty of times - although you have to admit that Gabrielle might be on a different level to most of your dates.{else}uncomfortably shifting in your freshly bought dinner jacket. You've never worn something as smart as this before, and part of you thinks you're crazy for trying to date someone like Gabrielle, who on the 1-10 scale is about a 20.{endif}

Your worries are forgotten, however, when you catch sight of your date. She's an absolute knockout, a vision of beauty walking towards you. Her golden waves of hair positively glow in the pink light of dusk, illuminating her flawless features. Her eyes look almost amethyst when paired with her gorgeous blue dress, which is simultaneously classy and sexy. Her black heels click against the pavement, and she holds a matching leather purse by her side. By far the prettiest part of her, though, is the {if Gabrielle>5%}hint of a smile that tugs at her glossy pink lips.{else}casual, effortlessly dazzling smile she gives you as she stops beneath the statue.{endif}

{if Body>42%}"Nice suit," comments Gabrielle.

"You look... stunning," you reply, blinking yourself back to the present.

Her easy smile doesn't change. {endif}"So, Mr Samson, where to?"

You quickly summarise the evening's plan, and {if Gabrielle>5%}she takes your offered arm as {endif}you set off towards the town hall, making small talk as you go. You take your seat next to the Skye girl, somewhat disbelieving that this goddess of a woman is your date, and settle in for the music. It's Brahms's piano quintet in F minor, one of his best works - and the musicians do it justice. You had been slightly worried that starting with classical music on the first date would be, well... boring. But the stormy intensity of the music keeps you engaged - and Gabrielle seems right at home. Her mother may be a pornstar, but the Skye family are still billionaires, and you assume that means Gabrielle has spent plenty of time mingling with the wealthy at concerts like this one.

There's a lull in the music, and you glance at your date, only to find her blue eyes inspecting you, an unreadable expression on her face. A smile flickers across her face as your eyes meet, before she slowly turns her attention back to the concert.

Whether it's because they performed an abridged version - or because you were distracted by the company - the concert is over before you know it, and you head out to the restaurant. For a while, you walk in quiet company, but you know you need to break the ice.
