Should you risk a date?
Might as well.
You've got a week before becoming a demonic baby-daddy, so you're going to take your shot while you still can. You go up to the counter and Terri very promptly asks you if you want another. "No thanks. Listen, are you free to catch a movie and, maybe dinner tonight?"
"Tonight?" Terri flinches. You can see the coin flip in her head, and amazingly, it lands on it's edge. "I don't have plans, but is anyone else coming too?"
"No, no. No one else," you sigh, scratching your head. "Argh...I'm so bad at this. I'm asking you out on a date, Terri. That's what I'm trying to say."
Steam hisses loudly as Terri's hand falls on the latte machine lever, completely caught off-guard. Her mouth is moving, but you can't hear anything over the steam. One of her coworkers rushes over and smacks her hand away. "She'd love to, and she'll meet you at the mall branch around seven." You chuckle awkwardly and take your leave. Selas tells you that behind you, Terri's coworker is shaking her strongly, giving her the most aggressive pep-talk she's ever heard.
You arrive at the mall at five to seven, and spend the whole time trying to not look at your watch. "Calm down, will you?" Selas scolds, brushing dust off your clothes. "I swear, if I weren't in your head, I'd think this was your first date ever."
"Well, it has been a while and I am a little on edge since y'know, earlier," you stammer, swallowing a dry throat. "I also have a probably judgemental audience watching over my shoulder. And, most important, I actually like and kind of know this one, so there is a bigger reason not to fuck it up."
Selas rolls her eyes and shakes her head. "You forget, I'm a succubus. Sex is my business, all right? So my goal right now, is to make sure that you get laid. I'm not your audience, I'm your wing-demon."
"I'm not looking to get laid," you snap, quietly under your breath. "I'm looking to have a nice date, with a cute girl. Not everything revolves around the bedroom, you know?
"Who are you talking to?" you hear a voice from behind you say.
