The Layer And The Middle Class (Closed)

[NewGame8]

Greg listened to Rose talk and he took a sip of his wine. She seemed to be an incredible woman who was very comfortable in who she was. It was enjoyable to sit with her and listen and talk with her. He wasn't sure where they would go with this but he knew that any time he spent with her would be good.

"Rose, I hope you know that I did not ask you to come out with me to hurt you in any way. I am really enjoying being with you. I enjoy the relaxed atmosphere that surrounds you and I enjoy being in that relaxed atmosphere. Maybe we should take a look at the menu. The waitress probably would like to take our order."

He picked up his menu and looked at it. The food here was fantastic. No matter what was chosen it would be outstanding. He had no idea what he wanted, but he was certain he would enjoy it, because of the company that he was keeping. This was going to be a great evening.

 

[Mayu]

Rose smiled at him "Oh I know I am not a doll that can break, takes a lot to hurt me any way. But I believe you when you say that you wouldn't hurt me. So don't worry so much, I like who you are so far. And I have heard of your law firm actually. Only hiring the best, people who saw a much bigger picture. I bet the way you do your job is poetic, but if you enjoy the job then I guess its not something you don't look forward to"

She saw the waiter waiting for them to order, she looked at everything and never remembered their food to be so expensive. Made since though why her parents only ate here once, but Rose did not make a big deal about it. Her eyes did not go wide or fall out of her head, she looked over to see what he was getting. "Hmm everything looks so good, I will just have what you are ordering for yourself, I feel daring tonight" She giggled sitting back and enjoying the way Greg looked in his outfit.

 

[NewGame8]

He laughed a little when she said that she was feeling a little daring. He smiled at her and then he motioned for the waitress. When she approached he ordered another glass of wine for each of them and he ordered the grilled swordfish for each of them. He thanked the waitress and then looked back to Rose. "I hope you are okay with that."

He looked into Rose's eyes and thought about the people that he normally associated with and how none of them would ever be comfortable sitting at the table that Rose and Greg were seated at. They would never want to be secluded. They would rather be out in the front where everyone could see them.

Their wine arrived and he thanked the waitress. He picked up his glass and took a sip. He wondered why this had been so easy. Why it felt so good. It was exciting to him. He never really enjoyed going out with the people in his social circle. It was the reason he was single and had never really had a true relationship.

 

[Mayu]

She smiled and heard what he asked "More then fine I love sea food" She said as she sipped her red wine and watched him. He seemed rather curious about her, she enjoyed the one on one attention from him. Rose was a very simple girl, one who wanted a simple life. Sure she was happy but she wanted to belong to someone, perhaps get married one day have a couple children. To be able to see unconditional love in her mans eyes. Something she had not seen before, sure from her blood.

But not from someone like a boyfriend, and all in all everything was just simple. Looking up at him and could not help but chuckle a bit more. "You seem more comfortable, I take it I am a simple girl and the most simple things make me happy. I always enjoyed being simple and perhaps that is what most appeals to me, but you are sweet and enjoying my time with you Greg. So here is to a nice date and hopefully see what time gives us" She said happily and silently sighed a bit.

 

[NewGame8]

Life in his circles was always high maintenance. Nothing that he was used to was as casual and laid back as the time he was spending with Rose. When he went out with women it usually involved her making sure that everyone knew she was there and the discussion always ended up involving money in one way or another.

He raised his glass to her toast. "Rose, I don't know where this will go, but I do know that I like the way that it has started. I am glad that I did not get a booth today. I am glad that I got a table right next to your booth. I am very happy that I got to spend my lunch staring at a beautiful woman.... even though I was trying not to get caught. I am extremely happy that the beautiful woman that I was staring at agreed to have dinner with me."

He reached across the table and took her hand in his. He lifted it to his lips and kissed the back of it. "And I am grateful that she trusted me enough to open up to me and let me into a place that I think very few people have ever been."

 

[Mayu]

Rose knew better then to actually talk about work, and really she did not want to. She wanted to get to know him. Greg was a sweet guy and to her he was generous, but figured he had been with not so generous girls. So she was just happy by what he was doing to her, her heart was beating kind of fast. She did not know what to say to him, but just said what came to mind. It was nice to be able to talk to someone you could trust, it was nice to be able to be herself and not be tossed to the side for what she thought.

But then he did a rather curious thing, he took her hand and kissed it. Though it was rather sweet and she was very happy about it. Rose smiled even more showing she thought he was nice and rather sweet. Most of the time she would wonder what he wanted, but all in all she had a feeling she knew all to well what he was thinking. Or at least she thought she did. "Well I am glad that you asked me out. Never really been out on a date, never had friends or anyone in school for that matter.

 

[NewGame8]

Rose and Greg talked through dinner and they got to know each other better. They each shared things about themselves that had been locked away deep inside. Michael talked about how his dissatisfaction with the women that he had dated had caused him to dive deeper into his work.

At one point in time during the meal Greg excused himself to use the rest room. While he was away from the table he took out his cell phone and made a phone call. He called a former client who had spent some time in prison. Greg checked to see if he still had contacts in the prison. When the former client said that he did, Greg gave him the name Markus Parker, and told him to make sure that he did not cause his new friend any problems. That would be the last time that Markus Parker's name would ever cross Greg's mind, and he was confident Rose would never have to worry about him.

When he returned to the table they continued their conversation. When dinner was over Greg walked Rose back to the lounge and he led her right out onto the dance floor. There was a slow song playing. Greg took rose's right hand in his and he placed his right hand on her hip as the began to move to the music.

 

[Mayu]

Rose enjoyed the dinner and the wine, he did not have to go all out but was grateful to him that he did. It was rather nice of him to do this for a first date, she laughed when he joked. And was rather honest when he asked her questions. She enjoyed the way he spoke to her, how he looked at her. It was beyond wonderful. She was thrilled that they had met today, he was a whole new kind of lawyer. He had a soul that she knew all to well, he was the kind of man that she wanted in a boyfriend.

But as they finished up the drinks and the food, she heard what he said and she nodded. Watching him get up and smiled a bit, silently sighing as she thought about everything they had done tonight. And was hoping that he would stay in contact with her, it would have made her rather sad if this was a one time deal. She tried to be interesting but never lied about a thing, she figured if he was the gentleman that she had dinner with. That this would happen again, and that would be nice.

When he came back she finished the conversation and before she knew it she was slow dancing with him, the way he moved made her feel rather happy. The music was very beautiful as well, she rested her head on his chest and sighed. "This is nice Greg, but I am curious if you don't mind me asking. How old are you? I mean age does not matter, I just mean it as a compliment because you look rather young. Some people who has law as there profession ends up aging much faster because of the stuff they go through, I am rather happy to know you its nice to be able to be out and about with a handsome man"

 

[NewGame8]

Greg enjoyed dancing with Rose. She moved very well, and it felt to have her close to him. This was a great way to end what he hoped would just be their first date. He guessed you would call it a date. It wasn't a business meeting. He had asked her out because he was attracted to her, and he hoped that she had accepted because she felt the same about him.

When the song ended Greg stepped back and looked into her eyes. "Thank you very much for the dance. You move very well on the dance floor. Thank you for a great evening." He leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. "I am hoping that I will be able to see you again... at least for a second date."

 

[Mayu]

Rose enjoyed her time with Greg he was very sweet and sexy, she smiled a little bit when he made the comment about her dancing. "I use to take dance when I was little, I can do Irish dancing and even ballet. Hence why I keep my body as fit as I can, so I don't lose the ability to dance. And my father taught me slow dancing. Since I never even went to my prom dad taught me how to slow dance. So I am glad I was able to do it with you" She said and blushed when he kissed her cheek and she looked at him .

"Sure I would like that, you know if at some time you have lunch free you can always call me" She said softly. "I have my cell with me every where, if it was water proof would probably take it in the shower" She chuckled a little and leaned over kissing his cheek as well, enjoying the comfort he could give her by just being him. She was really satisfied about this date, and knew her father would honestly love him. He was a good man and her father would have seen it as well. That she knew.

 

[NewGame8]

He felt so comfortable with her. That was the one thing that struck him the most. It wasn't like he was uncomfortable around women.....in fact he was comfortable around anyone, but there was something about Rose that felt right. He did not constantly have to be on his guard. He did not have to worry about whether or not there was an ulterior motive. Greg just felt like he could let his guard down and enjoy her company, which was something he did not do very often.

"Hmmmm.....that is an interesting image. You in the shower with your cell phone. At least you wouldn't have to worry about a dirty cell phone." He chuckled a little as he tried to move away from the fact that he said he had a mental image of her in the shower. Although, the image he had of her in the shower was a good one. When the next song started he stepped back to her and they continued to dance. "If there is anything else you would like to do to it, please let me know."

 

[Mayu]

Eden was having a lovely time with Greg, she always had some issues trusting people. And it was not the job she had been worried about at first, but she was afraid of falling in love. She did not want to get hurt, because she knew someone who had gotten hurt once. And it was something that almost killed the girl. Her stormy eyes soaking up the looks he gave her, enjoying everything he was saying. And Eden knew how to play with the crowed, and actually had an idea. Looking at him she grinned.

"I am having the time of my life Greg, I never wanted to get involved with anyone. Afraid of getting my heart broken, but you made me feel something that I have never felt. And its being comfortable" She reached up and kissed his cheek, music stopped and she motioned for him to stay still, she went up to the stage and talked to someone. The guy helped her onto the stage and looked at Greg. It was time he saw a part of her no one had seen. A guy standing beside her with a mic and nodded.

A piano started to play as she began to slowly sing, slowly walking to the front of the stage. Singing to the crowed but more singing to Greg then anyone, it was time to close the date with one hell of a bang. Singing with the guy on the stage was actually rather fun. She circled him as she sang some of the lyrics. She enjoyed herself a lot, the stage was farther out on one end where Greg was. So she walked up to him when she sang he was the life among the dead.

How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core where I’ve become so numb
Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

now that I know what I’m without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
only you are the life among the dead

all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

(Bring me to life)
I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside
(Bring me to life)

Song

 

[NewGame8]

Greg stood there mesmerized by what she was doing. He watched her closely as she began to sing. It was as if she was singing to him. He watched how she moved on the stage. Rose was so graceful and she was so good to look at. He was enjoying his time with her. He was having more fun with Rosé than he could ever remember having with another person.

When she finished singing he clapped for her, which led to other people in the lounge clapping. The fact that he was standing resulted in others giving Rose a standing ovation. Greg walked to the edge of the stage and reached up toward Rose. "You are incredible."

 

[Mayu]

She giggled as she rushed over to Greg, she honestly was happy and had no idea what else he could do to make the night even better. This night was incredible and she enjoyed being here with him, the way she looked into his eyes. Showed something there in her eyes, curiosity on how far they would go. She looked into his eyes as she slowly leaned in, looking like she would kiss his lips. She moved to his cheek kissing it, but she showed all to well what she wanted. She wanted him to kiss her.

But she did not know dating rules so she did not even bother, right now everything was as it should be. "I am not to sure what else you could possibly do to me, besides have hot and passionate sex" She teased but some of it wasn't a tease. Pulling away a little bit, she enjoyed the club. Unsure how much more he had, everything was as it should be she thought all in all she was happy. But the ball was in his court and right now she was having fun, the most she ever had before.

 

[NewGame8]

Whether kissed his cheek he turned his head and caught her lips with his. He kissed her softly as he held her hand. He moved his hands to her hips and lifted her off the stage without breaking the kiss. It felt so good being with her, and her lips felt incredible pressed to his.

Greg set her down on the floor and kept his hands on her hips. He broke the kiss and looked into her eyes and smiled. "So, you are looking for hot, passionate sex huh?" He laughed as he kissed her lips once again.

 

[Mayu]

She was caught off when she felt his lips find there way to her, she almost froze. But closing her eyes as she let nature take over. She returned the kiss, she had no idea how to react or what to do here. But she returned the kiss that he was giving her, she was rather happy about all this. She could feel his hands going to her hips and lifting her right off the stage. She felt so free when she was with him, even if this was the first date. She felt something much more then that, like they had known each other for years.

She chuckled "Well it was more of a joking kind of thing, I am not experienced with men"

 

[NewGame8]

He enjoyed their lips locking onto each other. It felt so god....so natural...so perfect. He moved his hands from her hips to the small of her back. He pressed her closer to him as they kissed. She felt so good in her arms. He felt so comfortable in her company. She was a regular person, which was something that he had never experienced before.

He looked at her when she mentioned never having been with a man. "Well, there may come a time when you get that opportunity. You never know. It could even be with me."

 

[Mayu]

She felt the way he touched her the way everything seemed to be, she smiled a little bit as everything just seemed as it should be. The way he made her feel was really nice, smiling a bit as she looked up into his eyes. Her heart beating quickly as everything seemed rather nice, and all in all everything was rather nice. Moving her head back as she groaned a bit into him, but when it parted she heard what he said and smiled a little bit, it was rather sweet of him to say what he did to her. "I like it" She said softly.

 

[NewGame8]

Greg kissed Rose again and allowed his lips to linger for a while. He then took her hand and led her toward the elevator. When they arrived there he pushed the down button and placed his hand on the small of her back as they waited for the elevator car to arrive. He leaned over and gave her a small kiss on the cheek as they waited. It felt so good to be in her company.

When the elevator car arrived they stepped in and rode the elevator to the lobby. As they exited he asked her where he could take her, since he had picked her up at the diner. He did not really want the date to end, but he also did not want to move to fast with Rose. He really liked her and wanted to make sure there would be future dates with her.

 

[Mayu]

A lot had happened to her tonight and the way he kissed her now made everything that much more magical for her. She had never wanted to date anyone and figured this would have been a one date only. But she saw that he really cared for her, that this was no fake front to get her in bed. No she was really happy with him and knew that he had been the same man that she was a few hours ago. He was for real and it made her feel really good. Rose felt happy that she was with him, and knew another date would happen.

When she felt his hand on the small of her back she felt beyond happy with him, and rested her head on his shoulder through the elevator ride. And then when they headed out of the lobby she heard what he said. "You can take me home, 22 Rose Drive Street" She said to him giving him her address and smiled even more since her name was actually in the address. Part of the reason why she liked her name so much. She could tell he did not want the date to end, but it didn't have to really.

 

[NewGame8]

Greg opened the car door for her and let Rosé get in. He then slid in next to her and gave the driver the address to Rose's home. "Pretty nice to have your street named after you. You must be even more special than I thought you are to have the city name a street after you," he smiled at her.

As they rode toward her house Greg took Rose's hand in his. He really enjoyed her company. He stated to think about what he could do for a second date with her. It was amazing how he was thinking about spending more time with Rosé. Most of the women he had been going out with we're so boring that he couldn't wait to get away from them.

 

[Mayu]

Rose enjoyed the way the night was going, and when he made the comment on the street name. She chuckled. "No my parents lived in the same house for years, they actually just named by by the street name already there" She said with a big grin on her face. Enjoying how everything was going. And frankly she knew all to well how tonight could go, it was pretty quite the ride back and looking out within ten minutes they were outside her stroking his hand and got out once the door opened for her.

Looking at Greg she smiled kissing his cheek "Tonight was amazing Greg thank you" She said happily and walked to her door wishing he would pin her against the door and kiss her, to continue the night. It was a fantasy but one that she would never tell anyone, since she thought her fantasies were kinda weird. She enjoyed the way he looked at her, and was really happy about everything. It was nice to know that not everyone that had his job were dicks she was just glad that he was different.

 

[NewGame8]

Greg exited the car and walked Rose to her door. There were so many times where he just had the driver walk the woman to her door......not tonight. rose was different. She was special.

He took her hand as they reached the door. Here kissed her softly. He wanted so much more but he was going to be a gentleman. He did not want this to be the last time that he saw Rose. He wanted to spend more time with her.

 

[Mayu]

Rose was glad that he walked her to the door it was rather sweet of him, and when he kissed her everything just seemed to fly sparks all over the place, she was really happy and knew that everything was going to be perfect. Looking into his eyes she could see what he wanted, or at least she sensed what he wanted. Reaching up she stroked his cheek looking into his eyes, and decided to ask. "Could always come in for coffee" The way she said it, it was easy to tell it wasn't key words for come and sleep with me, she smiled more.

 

[NewGame8]

He smiled at Rose when she invited him inside. He had no intention of doing anything that would jeopardize where this could go. Was there a long term relationship here? Who knows? It was just a first date, but he had enjoyed himself more tonight than he had in a very long time. So, he didn't want to mess things up.

"I would love to have a cup of coffee with you Rose. I think it would be a great way to end an absolutely fantastic night." He smiled at her and waited for her to open the door. Then he followed her inside.....closing the door behind them.
