He saw her there, standing on the corner. Her innocent eyes betraying just a hint of fear as she waited. The light changed and she quickly stole a glance at him before crossing and heading to the book store.

She saw him, as she stood, waiting for the light to change. He was watching her. She looked at him again, hoping he didn't notice and began crossing the road into the dingy little shop. Surely he wouldn't follow her.

The little bell rung above his head as he made his way towards the first aisle, searching. He watched her. She was young. And pretty.

She heard the bell, saw him enter. She tried to ignore him as she searched the book shelf. She could feel his eyes on her.

She moved very deliberately he noticed and decided to make his move. Coffee.

She agreed and he took her to a café about a block away.

It was nearly deserted, yet he still chose a booth in the back. She examined him carefully in the near darkness. He was handsome.

He liked the way the dim light seemed to dance along her blonde hair.

She liked the way his words seemed to roll off his tongue.

Eventually he led her away, back to his apartment. Although she had no objection she appeared, just a bit frightened. She was a girl, playing at a woman's game.

He led her to the bedroom and in a matter of minutes, clothes were strewn across the worn wooden floor.

She was the first to wake. She untangled herself from the sheets and sat in the armchair by the window. He was different. his hair half covering his face as he breathed softly. He wasn't exciting as he had seemed last night. He was boring.

He awoke a few minutes later and looked at the woman in his chair. Her makeup smudged under her eyes, last night she seemed innocent. Now, she seemed like a predator, glaring at him coldly. She wasn't a girl. She was a seductress who had won her prize.

He screamed at her to get out. To never come back.

She stood without a word, and left without ever looking back.

Expectation vs. Reality is real 😂 but i don't think just coffee would immediately lead to bed

For me it wouldn't but I know some people it would.

Never met people who could be swayed with just coffee but it is an aphrodisiac so it would help with that, i guess

Unfortunately I've met people who can be swayed by less than coffee. Not judging, just saying.

That's a bit too shallow but who am i to judge, i guess?

That's exactly the way I look at it. Personally I've always been the type who has to really know the person if I'm going to be intimate with them but, everyone is wired differently.

I'd say I'm the same but then i had an exception to that and it was one that lasted the longest, surprisingly

They say there's an exception to every rule.
