Hita - Anita Claire Page 0,41
the movie is playing in three of their theaters. We walk right up to the door since David already purchased the tickets online. As we walk into the theatre, we both agree we like to sit about a third up in the theater. David leaves to get drinks and popcorn. I usually don’t eat in a theatre, but I figure it’s a date and he looked real anxious to get me something.
The movie is as much fun the second time as it was the first. The two of us leave chatting about the movie, what we think, favorite scenes from previous movies, and which characters we liked and which ones were annoying. We wind up eating at an Italian restaurant. Once of my favorite choices since there are always a lot of vegetarian options. After dinner he drives me back to my apartment.
As he pulls into a space, I get butterflies in my stomach as I tell him, “You don’t need to park. I can make it to my door on my own.”
He gives me the sweetest smile then says, “My mom raised me right. She told me you always make sure the girl gets in safely.”
The air feels tense as he walks me up the stairs. As I unlock the door he moves a little closer staring at my lips. It’s been so long since I had a guy who was actually interested in kissing me, I wonder if my kisser still works. My lips part in anticipation, both of his dimples light up as he moves a little closer and quietly says, “This date was as much fun as playing against you has been.”
I can feel a sly smile cross my face as he moves even closer, our lips lightly touch. It’s a small butterfly movement. He doesn’t move back, but brushes my lips with his again, softly. Then again, I place my hands on his shoulder as he gently takes hold of my upper arms. After about a dozen soft kisses he moves in a little bit more and his lips feel soft, but a little bit firmer. I feel his tongue against my lips, which causes my body to shimmer with sexual energy. My mouth relaxes as our tongues dance while we grasp each other just a little bit harder. My chest clenches while sexual energy winds its way down my core and my breathing increases. Our kiss gets hungrier and I can hear us each slightly moan. After a while he pulls away, he’s maybe an inch taller as he leans his forehead against mine, I can hear our breath running high.
He quietly says in a bit of a raspy voice, “This was even nicer than playing Star Wars against you.”
With a bit of a smile I say, “More fun than beating me?”
He lightly chuckles and slowly nods. “Winning is fun, but, yeah, more fun than winning.”
I tilt my head up and we kiss again, a little more confident this time, not as tentative. A tingle runs down my neck exploding across my shoulders. I back up a little to stay in control, causing David to take a step back. He has a sweet, shy smile on his face that shows both dimples.
“Hita,” he says lightly. Then he shakes his head before continuing, “I should get going. But we’ll do this again.” His look is questioning, before asking, “Okay?”
I nod. “Yes.”
He nods slightly before explaining, “I have to work tomorrow, but can we meet up online when I get home?”
I nod my head again, quietly saying, “yes.”
Chapter 32 – Underground Gaming
On Sunday night Savi and I talk. She’s still giddy about married life, but has come down enough to be excited for me. When I tell her my date’s name is David she gets all annoyed.
“Hita, why can’t you date proper Indian guys?”
This is shocking coming from my friend who only a little over a year ago only dated White guys.

Juliette gets pulled away again on Monday. Walking down to the cafeteria with her on Tuesday, she asks, “What did you wind up doing? I haven’t talked to you since Thursday.”
I know I have a silly smile on my face as I tell her, “I had a date.”
“On Thursday you were complaining about no prospects.” She gives me a questioning look before asking, “As in a real date with a real guy?”
I playfully hit her arm. “How dare you insinuate that I don’t go on real dates with real guys.”
Juliette barks out a hardy laugh,
