Go For It!

"Okay," John said.

"Okay?" Jasmine asked.

"Okay," John said again, "I'm in. I don't understand it, but let's see where this thing goes."

"You mean you and me?" Jasmine is utterly giddy, "Oh John, you've made me the happiest woman on Earth!" Leaning forward again and once again grabbing his hands, "And nobody understands love! How many books do you have to read, how many movies do you have to watch to figure that out? Love is... it's a **** of nature! Like lightening! I've been struck by love, and it's wonderful."

She hadn't intended on becoming so verbose, so poetic, but her heart was a-flutter with excitement. Her man had just given her a sign that he was willing to be with her. Now it was up to her to convince him that he had made a good decision. This was a challenge that Jasmine was convinced she was well prepared for.

Now that John had declared his intention, Jasmine swiftly changed the subject. It was so much easier to focus on less heavy topics, and they did have a lot of groundwork to do in order to become the perfect couple. She asked about his childhood, about his family, about his career aspirations. Of course, any answer he could have given would have been the perfect answer for Jasmine. This was more about learning where she would fit into his life, not finding out if his life would be compatible for her.

To keep things moving in the conversation, Jasmine would pepper in information about her own life, very careful to not make any statements that indicated that she was stuck to one worldview, one way of life. She would always be a lesbian, she would always have the background that she had, she was fiercely proud of that, but Jasmine would bury it deeply if it meant staying with John.

Not that she thought he would make her do that. John had a kindness to him, a sweetness that she would have never discovered had she not first fallen so deeply in love with him. He loved animals, and donated to local no-kill shelters. He missed his grandfather, who had just died a few months back. He liked to take his sister's kids to the park. John was so adorable!

There were other things that Jasmine gleaned from the conversation that she'd have to do some thinking about. Twice he let it slip that he read a lot of comic books, and that he loved going to comic book conventions. When the food arrived, he mentioned that he first noticed this restaurant because of the famous video game character, something she only had a passing familiarity of. When their plates were cleared, John casually said how nice it was to eat out since you could have the best food and not have to clean up after.

Now, Jasmine had never been on a date with a man before. From a very young age she had known that she was a lesbian. Her parents had been extremely supportive of her, celebrating when she came out of the closet, fully embracing Kami as a member of the family when they got married. That said, Jasmine was, by all accounts, doing extremely well on this date. She laughed at all his jokes, she complimented him, she touched him both sexually and non-sexually. Jasmine was extremely careful never to bring up past relationships, but if brought them up she would remind him how any woman who had a chance with him and left was an idiot.

Because it was true! How could any woman in their right mind get the chance to date John and them just walk away? The whole idea of it was beyond comprehension. Jasmine stared at her one true love and memorized every feature on his perfect face, from his unkempt hair to the stray hairs that had begun creeping out of his nose, this was the face that Jasmine wanted to wake up to every morning for the rest of her life.

The bill came and, true to form, John grabbed for it.

"No!" Jasmine said, grabbing the bill and holding it tightly, "Let me. You're a student, I have a full-time job! There's no way I could let you pay this."

"At least let me pay half," he pleaded.

"Stop it!" Jasmine laughed, "You've already won me over. There's no need for you to act chivalrous."

John had indeed, unquestionably, won Jasmine over. And much more. Having made it through dinner with the perfect specimen of masculinity, Jasmine's panties were positively soaked. She hoped that John couldn't smell her arousal. Although, perhaps that wouldn't be too bad. Maybe it would kick start the next part of their evening together. She hadn't planned anything past dinner, but maybe they could leave one of their cars parked and go find somewhere else to get to know each other in a different way.

Not sex. John had already said that he wanted to take things slower than sex on the first date, and Jasmine would respect that. If her man said no, then no is the answer. He didn't, however, say no to a hand-job. She'd never put her hand on a penis before, and she wondered what it was like.

Or a blowjob! So many websites she had visited had been dedicated to blowjobs! Without ever giving one, Jasmine felt confident that she could at least give a passable one. She wondered what his penis tasted like. Or what his sperm tasted like!

She could feel herself getting giddy again. Jasmine needed to calm down. There was no way she wanted to blow this opportunity.

The waiter brought by the debit terminal and Jessica paid the bill, smiling the whole time knowing that she had just, for the first time, fed her man. Once they were alone again, she stood up from the table and followed John outside.

"It's too early," she said, grabbing his left hand in her right, "Let's not call it a night. What do you want to do? I'm up for anything."

John gulped and looked he in the eye, making her knees go weak.

"Anything?"

"Anything."
