He opened the door, stepping out. "Right. Thank you." *** She nodded, standing up. "Okay. Sounds good."
"See you tomorrow," she said with a small grin. "Get warm." * * * He took her hand and led her outside.
She gave him a smile before leaning across the seat and closing the passenger door. The car drove off into the snow, leaving him at the door to his home. * * * Snowflakes fell around them and his breath made small clouds in the freezing air. He had a soft, almost boyish face, with long, light brown eyelashes and a thin nose. There was a small paint splatter on his left breast pocket of his coat, a dark green that clashed with the brown.
Adonis sighed, his breath creating steam as he watched the car go. He turned and started to the door, leaving footprints in the snow. *** A small, excited smile crossed her expression. She hoped he wouldn't notice, though she couldn't help but be nervous with how enamored she already found herself to be toward him.
He flushed deeply, watching her leave and slipping his hand in his pockets, watching her until she got in before turning and heading down the snow covered street.
As usual, Adonis knocked on Gwen's door, holding a coffee as he waited. *** Mari had been texting Ben. At some point she asked to make plans for another date in a few days.
She opened the door, looking excited to see him. "Adonis! Good to see you. Come in." * * * He had responded, suggesting a trip into the city. They had agreed to meet at the subway.
He brightened, stepping inside. "Thanks." *** She was at the subway, her expression warm as she waited to meet up.
She was wearing athletic clothes and a orange cat jumped up on the counter, purring as Gwen scratched behind his ears. "Alright. Today's going to be fun." * * * He nudged her as he approached from behind. "Hey, you."
He watcher her curiously. "What are we doing?" *** She looked back, her expression brightening as she turned to him. "Hey!"
"You should just give up on asking," she replied primly. "I'll never tell. Are you ready?" * * * He beamed, taking her hand easily. "How are you?"
