Ask her to dinner

It continued to pour down rain all morning. You and Mandy didn’t say much to each other. Basically, you both kept to your side of the room. You watch some movies on Netflix, and Mandy is playing an online MMORPG. Around noon you both head down to grab something from the vending machines to eat since neither of you is interested in getting soaked again trying to make it to the cafeteria. By mid-afternoon, the rain had stopped, and the sun had come out.

“Hey, want to go grab some grub?” you ask Mandy. “I saw a cool-looking café not far from here. I think it’s actually closer than the cafeteria.”

“Nah, I’m alright,” she replies.

“If you don’t go to dinner with me, what were you planning on doing?”

“I don’t know; heat something up from the vending machines in the microwave and play some video games online with some friends.”

“Come on, Mandy; it’s Saturday night. We’re not going on a date. It’s just two hungry people having dinner. I’ll tell you what, we’ll go to dinner, and I promise I’ll have you home in time to play video games. You’ve been so cool about all the craziness these last two days that I’ll even buy you dinner, so now you have no excuse.”

You give her a pleading look with sad puppy-dog eyes, and she reluctantly agreed.

“Awesome!” you reply. “I tell you what. I’ll even head down to the courtyard, so you can have the entire room to yourself to get ready.”

The rain had certainly cooled things off outside. You also think about going back to the room to grab a jacket but don’t want Mandy to think you were up to something.

A few minutes later, Mandy shows up in a black v-neck t-shirt and jean skirt. The chill in the air caused her nipples to poke out slightly through her top. Her skirt wasn’t that short, but it still showed off her long shapely legs, and she wore her sandals. She didn’t put on any makeup and had her hair pulled back in a ponytail.

Mandy was acting pretty stiff but loosened up as you talked, waiting for your food. You talk about your past relationships and what went wrong. Mandy had one long-term relationship of nine months that ended when she caught him cheating on her. It left her hurt and with less confidence than before. She even admits to her shyness around men.

“I can’t imagine anyone cheating on you Mandy. You’re so pretty. Why would he do that?”

“Thank you for the compliment; that was sweet of you. He just wanted to move faster than I was willing to, I guess.”

You also talk about what you want to do with your future careers, your crazy families, and random topics. You were conversing so well that you decide to continue the conversation at the coffee house across the street.

All through the night, you try your best not to stare at Mandy’s nipples, but they are sticking out so much from the cool air conditioning in the restaurant, and now on the chilly patio of the coffee shop, it was difficult not to look.

Around 10 pm you head back to your room together.
