"I'm fine"
she said standing up quickly
"Excuse me a moment"
she rushed off to the restroom. She stood at the sink looking at herself in the mirror for a few moments'
"What is he doing to me?"
she cupped her hand under the water and splashed her face with it. She grabbing an e towel and dabbed the water off off her face before taking a deep breath and heading back out to her table. She looked up at him upon sitting down
"When would you like me to start working?"

Stake smirked.
"When you do start working, I can promise you that what you just tried to hide from me will a) not be tolerated and b) seem like a mere touch compared to what I will make you feel. So, when do you want to start?" He sat back, his eyes still shining with a wicked sheen.

"but...I..."
Patience went to protest but then decided against it. she looked down at the table her face was red with embarassment
"I guess I'll start when you need me"

Stake was brisk and business-like.
"You will have three days warning time. Make sure you are ready to transfer all of your belongings into my residence, you will be living on site. The contract will be sent to you in two days, and you will have the best home removal company in the city to help you on speed dial, my tab, from day one. Any other questions?"

she thought for a moment about what he said
"This contract..what is it about..i mean what is it for?"
she sat back in her seat
"so i will have three days to pack before my stuff is moved"

"It's simply proof of employment. You know, for legal reasons. No secret small print, and you will have hours and hours to read it through word for word if you wish to ensure I am not snaring you in any technical chicanery."

Pantience thought for a moment
"I see"
she took a sip of her drink
"Then I shall thoroughly read it when I receive it"

"Glad to hear it."
Stake also took a drink.
"So, how come you tried to hide your arousal from me?" he asked suddenly, his gaze piercing.

Patience looked up at him with a shocked expression
"I...I didn't....well...umm"
her eyes went back to the table and her cheeks flushed
"Its embarrassing, especially when other people are around"

Quote :

Grant sighed and pet Lully a bit. "That's... odd since I haven't showered today." Some time had passed as Grant got up and headed to the kitchen to make some lunch. Getting a few cans out he made some tuna fish since cats like tuna, right? Setting the food on the table Grant called for Lully.

Master's call brought her from the bedroom. Smelling the food Lully eagerly came towards the table. She had the plate cleaned in seconds and was staring somewhat hungrily at Grant.

Stake grinned.
"Trust me, you'll learn to embrace it. Have you ever had a partner before? In the bedroom, I mean?"

Patience shook her head, she didnt even try to look at him
"I have not, I was keeping focused on getting through school I didnt find time to umm experiment"

Stake's grin intensified.
"I love the way you phrase it... So what "research" have you done into the topic outside of online browsing? Visited any shops, used cash to buy...toys?"

Patience blushed
"Just browser research, that's all. Ive never considered the other options. Money is tight so most of it went to bills"

Interest flickered over Stake's face.
"If you would had had the money, what would you have purchased? Be imaginative.”

Patience eyes went to his
"I don't know really, I've never considered getting them to be honest"
she looked around feeling slightly embarrassed to be having this conversation in a restaurant
"can we leave and go someplace else?"

Stake tutted.
"Finish your food then. Then we shall take a walk together. "A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk, would be a sheer delight," he quoted.
"Walrus and the Carpenter, by the way. I trust the food is to your liking?"
On the stage, two scantily clad women were taking part in a tug of war. They both wore similar devices to that of the first woman, and the closer one of them got to losing, the more their waists started buzzing.

Patience focused on finishing her food and paid no mind to the stage.
"the food..its really good , thank you"
she smiled

"We may come back here, depending."
Stake looked at the stage.
"Why do you not pay those striving to entertain us any attention?"

Patience looked up at him
"Im not interested in their display
she took a few more bites of her food feeling a bit full she pushed her plate away and sat back in her seat
"I don't think I can eat another bite"

Stake looked amused, but said nothing more until she had finished.
He paid for their meal and they took to walking next to the city's local park.
As he looked out at the trees, he said quietly, "What are your views on love, Patience?"

"love?"
patience gave him a confused look
"Well I have always dreamed of finding someone to fall deeply in love with and them with me"
she sighed
"But sadly I haven't found anyone, but I won't give up"
she looked up at the sky
"I think love is a wonderful thing, I see people in love all the time, they look so cute together, finish each others sentences, help each other, support each other. That is what I call love"

Stake paused, thinking.
"Do you believe in fate?"

Patiance glanced over at him
"I do, I mean everything happens for a reason right?"
she looked back at the sky
"Why do you ask?

Stake looked up at the stars.
"Perhaps, then, our paths crossing could be fate. Wouldn't you agree?"
