A Second Date!

It was a beautiful afternoon, and somehow you still felt like it got even better as you walked into the park and saw April waiting for you. You were downtown in the entertainment district, with lots of bars and restaurants and other places around so you had no idea what she had planned for your date, but you knew just seeing her was like a kick in the ass as your nervousness did a weird flip-flop of being relieved you weren’t being stood up, but also that oh my God she was actually here.

When April saw you she broke into a big grin and stood up from the picnic table she’d been sitting at, coming over to you with a little bit of a skip in her step. “Hi!” she said, biting her bottom lip as she approached.

“Hi,” you said, and opened your arms for a hug because you weren’t really sure what to do. All of your ‘Date Training’ had been geared towards the first date. The second date felt different, especially considering you’d had sex with your date.

April stepped into your arms and hugged you, but then turned her face up to look into your eyes. “Kiss me, big guy,” she said with a grin.

You laughed a little nervously and bent down, kissing her softly. You’d done that a lot, that first night, but it was still new to you. Still a little awkward as you tried to figure out what you should do with your lips and your hands. How quick a kiss should a Hello kiss be? You kept it short, you thought, and April looked happy as you pulled back.

“It’s really good to see you again,” you said.

“You too,” she grinned and then took your hand. “So, I figured since we went fancy last time, this time we should go casual.”

“Sounds great,” you said. “And I really like what you did with your hair.”

“Thanks, sweetie,” she grinned. April had pulled her hair back into a high ponytail but left some curls of hair down either side of her face, framing her glasses. She’d also dressed in a cute summer dress that was black and had little spots of colour on it, and now that you were up close you saw they were planets and galaxies and other celestial bodies. It came down almost to her knees, but the much more distracting part was the cleavage it was showing. “You look pretty good, too. I like the shirt.”

“Well, you did say dress down,” you said and adjusted the t-shirt you were wearing. It was black as well and had a tuxedo t-shirt print on it, except the bowtie was hanging loose and the top buttons on the print were undone with blue underneath and a hint at the Superman logo.

“You’ve got your phone with you, right?” April asked

You frowned a little and nodded. “Yeah, of course.”

“Good,” she said. “Do you still have Pokemon Go downloaded?”

You chuckled. “I don’t know, it’s been a long time since I played.”

“I figured,” she said. “So that’s step one of our date. I’ve plotted a little Pokestop tour around here until our first reservation of the afternoon.”

“Sounds fun,” you agreed, pulling out your phone. It didn’t take long for you to re-download Pokemon Go and sign into your old account. You and April spent a little time tracking down a few Pokemon before moving on to the Pokestops. As soon as you started on your walk, April took your hand and smiled at you.

God, that felt good.

She looked pretty as hell. Not like your first date where she’d been sort of done up professionally for the photos and everything - you’d felt like you were almost on a date with a movie star at that point. Today she felt like she was normal-person pretty. She’d done her own makeup, and she looked really cute, and it was like her personality was matching with her physical vibe.

April was a nerd. A pretty nerd with great tits, but definitely a nerd.

Occasionally, as you walked around and talked about everything and nothing while telling stories about high school, you would see someone glancing at the two of you. Sometimes the person was focused on April, and you felt equal parts jealous and proud. But sometimes it was someone looking at the two of you in surprise, and that felt like shit but also steeled your resolve to actually work with Hannah on your weight issue. April didn’t notice because you’d long ago gotten used to getting those looks when you were going somewhere with Hannah, and Margot now, and you’d always let it roll off your back. With April it hit differently, and you didn’t want it to be like that.

You did a long tour of various Pokestops before April checked the time on her phone and said you needed to get moving. She led you a couple of blocks over and you had to stop and laugh as she showed you the destination.

“What’s so funny?” April asked.

“I just think you’re perfect, that’s all,” you said.

“Compliments won’t distract me, mister,” April said, smirking a little as she raised an eyebrow at you.

“I’ve been here before,” you admitted. “A couple of times for team building events with my office, and a couple of times with Hannah and some friends. The escape rooms are really great, and it’s a perfect date spot… unless I’ve done all the rooms.”

April’s smirk turned into a grin. “Well, I guess it’s a good thing they just opened up a new one then, isn’t it?” she chuckled. “I figured you might have been here before, Ollie. I have too. But the new room is supposed to be super tough, and it’s Sci-Fi themed. I think we can take it on.”

You got an urge and you went with it, bending down to kiss April. She kissed you back and you could feel her smiling into it. “Let’s do it,” you said.

April got you both signed in since she had made the reservation, and after just a couple of minutes you were escorted back to the Escape Room and given the little spiel from the worker, and the ‘In-Game’ starter script to set the mood. Right before he left he hesitated and looked at the two of you. “Are you guys on a date?”

“Yes,” April said.

“OK, just so you know we do have cameras in there, and we are watching them. So don’t get, uh, frisky in there. We’ve had problems in the past and have had to ban people.”

“Got it,” you said, chuckling nervously as you and April both flushed.

“Alright, good,” the employee said. He ushered you and April into the room and shut the door saying, “You’ve got 50 minutes. Good luck!”

“Well,” April said as she looked at you. “I guess my master plan to fuck you in a room full of puzzles has been foiled, Superman.”

You snorted and she cracked a grin. “Come on,” you said. “The clock is ticking, Lois Lane.”

“Hey,” April said, putting a hand out to stop you. “I want to be clear, here. I am definitely Lana Lang, not Lois.”

“Got it,” you laughed.
