"Of course I will"

"Aw perfect! Right, come on Mike, let's go!"

You follow the bubbly brunette, even forgetting your coffee which Ella notices but doesn't speak up. After riding the Underground with her (and the occasional glance at her body that you don't think she notices), you end up at Oxford Circus station, outside Topshop with Ella.

"Right, Mike I've actually got a massage appointment in half an hour. Wanna get one as well? It will reduce some of that stress."

You don't really believe in massages besides as ways to get a girl naked but you nod and go along with Ella to a massage parlor five minutes away. You feel at ease with her, even though you two have never been alone together it doesn't feel awkward with her and you can tell her anything. At some times you don't even feel this relaxed with Sophie.

You both enter the small massage parlor and Ella goes to the counter to book you in. After a few minutes she walks back to you and says:

"Well, they don't have an available masseuse for you, so I don't want to leave you here but I do really need this massage. I'm sorry Mike, but I need this."

She then walks back over to the counter and confirms that you'll stay there while she gets her massage. However, she waves you over to come to the counter.

"Mike, I sorta fucked up. I shouldn't have bought you breakfast and now I don't have the money to get this. can you pay?"

She looks at you again with those big blue eyes of hers and you feel obligated to pay. You pull out your card to pay and enter your pin.

"Sorry Sir, Your card is being declined. Do you have cash?" The Receptionist asks.

You go red. Fuck. You don't have any cash and now you don't have enough money. All you can do is apologize to Ella.

"I'm so sorry Ella, I don't believe i don't have enough, I've fucked up."

Ella doesn't even look at you when you were speaking and just walks out the parlor. You quicken your pace to catch up with her profusely apologizing.

"What can I do? Fuck I'm so sorry Ella, tell me what I can do?"
