Maybe I’ll call Deb and ask her to come for the weekend.

I open my computer and type into Google.

Best first date locations

I read through the options and roll my eyes. “Fuck off, that’s cringey.” I twist my lips as I think some more.

Most romantic restaurants in New York

No. No. No… “Who writes this bullshit?”

Hmm…where is going to put us in the mood? I think about getting Gracie naked and my cock begins to pump between my legs.

I need to fuck.

Hard.

This date has to be a deal-breaker.

I type into Google.

Love songs

My door opens and Alessio sticks his head around it. “Hey.”

“Hi.”

“You going home today or what?” he asks.

I glance up to see it’s getting dark outside, the New York lights have begun to light up the sky. “Come in here for a moment,” I say. “Close the door behind you.”

“Yeah.” He flops onto the couch. “What?”

“Where can I take Gracie for our first date?”

“Huh?” He frowns. “I thought she was already here.”

“She is.”

“Isn’t she already in love with you?”

“Yeah, but…” I exhale. “Focus on the question…what is the best date I can take her on…like of all time.” I lean back on my chair. “Like blow-her-mind kind of dating.”

He thinks for a moment. “Blow her mind…or your mind?”

“Huh?”

“Well, if it’s blow her mind, take her to a sex club and let five hung dudes rail her.”

I screw up my face. “What?”

“I guarantee she’ll never forget it.” He smirks.

I pinch the bridge of my nose. “Why are you such an idiot?”

“If a woman took me on a first date and lined up five hot women for me to nail…I’d marry her on the spot.” He shrugs. “Just saying.”

“Out.” I point to the door. “Imbecile.”
