You continue waiting

You decide to continue waiting. Ross must have a valid reason to keep you waiting.

Minutes later, you finally see a scrawny looking Asian guy come into the door. Although he was tall, he wasn't much too look like. Hopefully, his personality will be enough to salvage this date.

The Asian guy makes his way to your table and you almost stand up to greet him when he suddenly turns right and kisses a guy from another table.

That wasn't, Ross?

Confused by the turn of events, you don't notice someone else suddenly standing in front you.

“Lexus?” he asks.

You are taken aback. You give the guy in person of you a head-to-toe look. He was a hunk - tall and muscled in all the right places.

“Ross?” you manage to stammer out.

Relieved, he gives you a big smile, revealing his beautiful white teeth. He stretches out his hand for a handshake and you instinctively just shake it.

He has a nice firm grip. And his hands. He has beautiful hands.

He lets go of your hand and motions that both of you sit down. You dumbly follow, still flabbergasted at how things are going.

“I'm so sorry I'm late, Lexus. I had to cover for my friend and ended up having to stay at the lab for much longer than expected. I hope I didn't make you wait too long,” he apologised, “I'll make it up to you if you’ll let me.”

“If you're not this hot, I wouldn't have forgiven you,” you suddenly blurt out without thinking.

“Fuck. Sorry,” you quickly apologise, “I didn't mean that…”

Shit. I've just screwed things up and we haven't started the dinner yet.

Surprisingly, he just laughs it off.

“I commend you for your honesty. I like that in people,” he replies back, “besides, who can’t not like a glowing compliment like what you've just given me.”

And with that, your date seems to be off to an explosive start.

After you both order your food, you two start talking about yourselves. He asks you about yourself and you give him a quick overview of your life so far and the things that interest you.

“Enough about me,” you tell him, “What about you? What do you do? What do you stand for?”

“Well, I'm currently studying to become a surgeon. I've always found the body fascinating and thought that it would be great to making a living doing what I liked.”

“Fascinating. Aren't you afraid of all that blood or that you might kill someone?”

“Wouldn't be much of a doctor if I were afraid of blood now, would I?” he cheerfully replies before taking a slightly more serious tone, “As for your other question, I do worry about it but I want to focus more on the positives. If I think about the lives I could save, I feel much better about taking that risk.”

“Wow. You're too perfect to be true. If we didn't know that you didn't have a Daniel’s Injection, I'd say that you probably have a small penis but since you didn't get one, you probably have a decent one.”

“Ooh. Snarky, aren't you?”

“You bet.”

“You're going to be surprised when you see my thing then. It's definitely more than mouthful.”

“Challenge accepted. But that's only if you make it pass dinner and I'm still hungry for dessert.”

“I'll keep that mind.”

“Be careful what you wish for, Ross. I bite.”

The two of you have a lovely dinner filled with lively conversation and several ill-placed sexual innuendoes.

In your conversations, you learn that he keeps fit by practicing kendo and that he is a big anime geek. You also find out that he hasn't dated anybody since he got into medical school a few months ago.

“I've had a really nice time, Lexus,”

“Likewise, Ross…”

“Umm, well, if you don't mind me too forward, maybe you'd like to have dessert at my place after this?”
