Making a Date, Causing a Problem

Standing naked in the supermarket and clutching a six pack of toilet paper - Rebecca really was going out of her way to humiliate him - James realised this might not be the perfect scenario to make a good impression on a woman, but the one stood behind him in the queue was very much his type physically and the smartly dressed brunette had shown him kindness twice already now. Since there were still two people with plenty of shopping to pay for ahead of him there seemed no reason to ignore her.

"Thanks again, not just for letting me cut the queue but for talking that woman down earlier. I'm James, by the way.."

"I'm Holly. And nor problem, she was a judgemental old prude" Holly replied "I actually think what you are doing is really brave. Part of me wishes I had the nerve to do it myself but I can't imagine I ever would."

"I would have said the same thing twenty four hours ago" James admitted "Look, I know this is really forward since we only just met and I'm naked but would you like to meet up later. It's been a real day already and I'd like to thank you properly with dinner,"

"Will you be naked?" Holly asked with a playful smirk.

"Probably" James admitted.

"Well, just so long as you understand I won't be!" Holly joked before giving James her card. Amazed at how well that had gone, James paid for his toilet roll while the middle aged woman serving him pretended not to notice his nudity and left the store. As he did so there was a buzz on his phone. It was Rebecca.

Well, I have to say I am impressed. You are better at this than I thought. Maybe I will need to start making things tougher? Although I am not so impressed you are already hitting on other women right in front of me. Not cool. Although, I must confess when I talked about punishments earlier I was bluffing a little. I mean, I'm punishing you already right? But now every time you fuck up I can punish your new friend instead! So I hope you are more of a gentleman to Holly than me and try your hardest to protect her, because if you mess up she could find herself on the wrong end of some very nasty curses x

All of a sudden James wasn't feeling so positive with how things were going. How could he have been so stupid as to bring someone else into the crazy witches' firing line? He needed to get to the book store quickly for Holly's sake.
