Capítulo 24: Date [1]
Chapter - 24
Rick sat at a corner table in the cozy coffee shop, fidgeting with his phone as he waited for Amanda. He had been there for a about an hour or so, scrolling through his phone, planning today's date for Amanda.
Suddenly the bell above the door tinkled, and instinctively, Rick looked up from his phone. His heart beat fast, as he looked up to see who it was, last few times have been a dud. But this time, it was really Amanda who walking in.
As she entered, all eyes seemed to turn toward her, a testament to her radiant beauty. Amanda's dark hair cascaded down her shoulders in soft waves, catching the warm light of the café. Her smile was a blend of charm and familiarity as her gaze met Rick's, sending a flutter through his chest.
She wore a simple yet elegant white sundress that flowed around her like a breath of fresh air. The dress accentuated her curves in all the right places, and her confidence shone through in the way she carried herself. Rick couldn't help but appreciate how the dress perfectly complemented her graceful demeanor.
Rick stood up as she approached, a genuine smile spreading across his face. "My... My... My... You look amazing," he complimented, his gaze lingering for a moment on her, "Worthy of being my woman."
Amanda's cheeks turned a delicate shade of pink, and she playfully swatted his arm. "Che... Who's your woman? You're just saying that."
"No, seriously," Rick insisted, his smile unwavering. "Look around... You managed to turn so many heads."
Amanda's bashful smile melted into a soft grin. "Well, thank you. If you are done, should we get going, then?"
With a nod, Rick gestured for her to lead the way. Amanda confidently walked up to the counter, and Rick followed, appreciating the graceful sway of her ass as she moved. He couldn't help but feel his pants go tight and a flutter of excitement at the prospect of spending time with her.
Behind the counter stood a middle-aged man who seemed to know Amanda well. "Amanda! Long time no see," he exclaimed, his eyes lighting up.
"Hey, Frank!" Amanda greeted with a warm smile. "How's business?"
"Can't complain. You guys from the hospital will never let me rest," Frank replied, his eyes twinkling. "So, what can I get you today?"
Amanda glanced at Rick, and he nodded.
"I'll just have an ice tea," she said, giving him a sheepish grin.
Frank turned his attention back to Rick, "And for you, dear?"
"Just some cold coffee, please," Rick answered, his tone polite.
Frank nodded and quickly got to work, preparing their orders. As he did, Amanda looked at Rick and asked, "Did you enjoy it here?"
"Absolutely," Rick replied with a smile, "It's a pretty good cafe."
Their drinks were ready in no time, and Amanda reached for her purse to pay. However, before she could, Frank spoke up. "Oh, by the way, your friend already took care of it."
Amanda looked at him with surprise, her brows furrowing. "My friend?"
Frank gestured toward Rick, who grinned and gave a casual wave. Amanda turned to him, her lips curling into a playful pout. "You didn't have to do that, you know. I should have paid for you."
Rick shrugged, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Consider it a gesture of appreciation for last night. Let me treat you for that amazing experience," Rick whispered.
"You..." Amanda's face turned red, when she felt his breath against her neck. She rolled her eyes, but her smile betrayed her amusement. "Well, then. I guess I'll let you off the hook this time." Amanda said and grabbing her cup, she walked out of the cafe with hurried steps.
"Interesting... What did you say to her?" Frank asked Rick, his eyes curiously looking at Amanda.
"Nothing... Just expressing my love for her," Rick grinned and followed behind Amanda with his drink.
"Hey wait up," Outside, Rick called out to Amanda as he caught up to her.
"Why should I?" Amanda turned her face, "You are just an immature boy in heat."

1. Cancel the plan (Temptation +5)
2. Try and pacify Amanda (Temptation +10)
]
'Like hell I will,' Rick looked at the second option and looked at the system in disdain, 'No simping...'
"Then I guess you don't want to go on a date with a pervert. We will have to cancel the plan," Rick pretended to look disappointed.
"Why? When did I say that we are canceling the date?" Amanda looked at Rick with her glaring eyes, "Tell me where are we going?"
"I was thinking of a movie, then some shopping, and end it with a nice dinner. But now..." Rick shook his head.
"Sounds good to me," Amanda agreed and entangled her arms with Rick's, "I know a good place. But it's a bit far. So, let me call the cab,"
"Cab?" Rick hesitated, his mind briefly contemplating the idea. He knew it was a practical suggestion, but something held him back.
"What is it?" Amanda was about to book the cab, but she stopped.
"Actually, I rode my bike here," Rick told Amanda.
Amanda's eyes sparkled with curiosity and a hint of excitement. "You rode your bike? That sounds fun."
Rick was taken aback by her enthusiasm, his uncertainty momentarily forgotten.
"You... want to ride on my bike?" Rick looked a bit confused.
Amanda nodded eagerly, a genuine smile lighting up her face. "Why not? It could be an adventure."
Rick blinked, surprised by her response. He hadn't expected her to be so eager about riding on his motorcycle. He glanced at his bike parked nearby, a mix of emotions swirling within him.
"Don't tell me you have never ridden a bike? I am talking about a motorcycle here, if you are confused," Rick clarified.
"Yup... Never have I ever," Amanda nodded her head, "I want to ride it."
'You have ridden a cock but you never ridden a bike. Does it make sense?' Rick wanted to ask, but he held his curiosity back.
"Are you sure? It's not the most comfortable ride, and... Well, you're wearing a dress," Rick asked instead.
Amanda waved off his concerns with a dismissive gesture. "Come on, Rick. I'm up for a little adventure. Besides, I'm not wearing anything too extravagant. It'll be fine," Amanda showed off her dress.
"Alright, if you're sure, let's do it. But my motorcycle is not the best out there. Later don't blame me," Rick said smiling.
"Offo... You talk too much," Amanda's complained. Her eyes gleamed with excitement as she took a step closer to him. "Absolutely. Lead the way."
Rick chuckled at her playful tone. Well, he won't have to come fetch his bike later now..
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Amanda's lips twitched as she studied the motorcycle, her thoughts racing behind her eyes. She appreciated Rick's offer to ride the bike, but she couldn't shake off a hint of hesitation. The Honda Navi was unlike any motorcycle she had seen before, and she wasn't quite sure what to make of it.
When Rick led Amanda to his motorcycle, a Honda Navi, he couldn't help but notice her hesitation. Her expression remained neutral, giving away nothing of what she might be thinking.
"So, this is my bike, a Honda Navi," Rick told Amanda.
Amanda looked at the motorcycle for a moment before turning to Rick with a polite smile. "It's... cute."
Rick sensed a subtle undertone in her response. He had a feeling that Amanda might not be entirely comfortable with the idea of riding a bike like this. He scratched his head nervously.
"If you're not comfortable with this, we could always grab a cab. It's no big deal," Rick suggested.
Amanda's eyes met his, and she seemed to hesitate for a moment before finally speaking.
"Oh, no, it's not that. I mean, I am not saying that your bike is the problem. It's good... It's just that..." Amanda tried to justify her words. But by the the end she still stopped from saying it.
Rick's eyebrows shot up, "What is it? Tell me. Maybe I can adjust that for you." Rick asked.
"Well you see... It is... The seat a bit too small. If it's the two of us then we will..." Amanda blushed when she said that. She did not complete her words, but message went across to Rick quite clearly.
"You... That's the whole point of taking you on a bike. Why else do you think we are doing it?" Rick looked at Amanda dumbfounded.
"That is why?" Amanda looked at Rick, trying to confirm she heard him right. And Rick nodded.
"Do all the boys usually think like this in their day to day life?" Amanda seriously asked.
"You don't have to care about other guys. Just focus on me." Rick said. He straddled the bike and motioned for her to get on behind him. She hesitated for a moment, her gaze locked onto his with a mixture of anticipation and a touch of nerves.
"You're sure about this, right?" Amanda was still uncertain.
Rick met her gaze with a reassuring smile. "Absolutely. Just hold onto me tight, and we'll be good."
With a tentative nod, Amanda positioned herself behind Rick, her arms instinctively wrapping around his waist. The feel of her closeness sent a shiver down his spine, but he focused on keeping his composure.
'Why are they so soft?' Rick cursed his luck, 'I wanted to feel them. But how can such a soft thing hurt so much?' Rick looked down at his bulging boner in his jeans and smiled wryly. Did he shoot himself in the foot on his own?

Capítulo 25: Date [2]
Chapter - 25
"I never thought it would be so damn exciting," Amanda excitedly told Rick as they walked towards the parking elevator.
"It's good that you enjoyed it. I was worried you would feel embarrassed by my bike. It's not that expensive, you know."
"Oh, C'mon... You are just in college, do you have to be so humble? I don't care about how expensive your bike is. It helped us save a few bucks and got us to the movie on time. That is what it is supposed to do." Amanda laughed it off, "It's about the moments, you know."
"By the way, which movie are we watching?" Amanda asked.
"Well, I didn't know your taste. So, I kinda booked whatever was available," Rick scratched his forehead.
"..." Amanda looked at Rick in surprise.
"If you are into a bit more classic stuff with a female lead, we can watch Barbie," Rick told Amanda her first option.
"You aren't stereotyping me, are you?" Amanda raised her eyebrow.
"Not at all. I have other options as well. If you are into drama and science we can watch Oppenheimer." Rick waved his hand, "It will be Bang-Bang!!"
"And if you want, we can catch another action movie about the war between two nations, Gadar 2." Rick grinned mischievously
"Anything you want, we can watch. I have got a couple of tickets for all three of them," Rick shrugged in the end, trying to show off.
Amanda looked at him in surprise, eyebrows raised.
"Wait, are you telling me you've booked tickets for all these movies?" Amanda asked.
Rick shrugged, feigning nonchalance.
"Well, you never know what mood you'll be in when you get there, right?" Rick said, as if stating facts.
Amanda was thoroughly impressed by Rick's planning skills. She couldn't help but let out a small laugh.
"You're something else, Rick. Did you secretly win the lottery or something? Or are you a long-lost heir to some conglomerate?" Amanda joked as she tried to ask how a college going guy can spend so much money. Rick didn't really look that rich. Not that Amanda really cared about how rich he was.
Hearing her, Rick's laughter echoed in the corridor as they approached the elevators. He leaned casually against the wall.
"Oh, you got me. I've been living a double life as a billionaire's son," Rick softly flicked Amanda's cheeks and whispered. Whispers always did a charm on Amanda.
Amanda playfully rolled her eyes, a smile tugging at her lips, "Of course, you have."
As the elevator doors slid open, Rick gestured for Amanda to step in. But before they entered, he leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper.
"You know, I can even book the whole theater if you want. Just say the word," Rick whispered.
Amanda's eyes widened in amused surprise.
"Are you serious?" Amanda asked, not able to keep her voice down.
Rick winked a glint of mischief in his eyes, "Absolutely. But let's keep that between us, okay?" Rick said winking at her.
Amanda's laughter filled the elevator as they stepped inside. She couldn't help but be charmed by Rick's spontaneity and his willingness to go the extra mile to make their outing memorable.
"You're really full of surprises, Rick," Amanda praised him.
Rick grinned, his hands casually shoved into his pockets, "What can I say? Life's too short to stick to the ordinary."
'Thanks to my system...'
At this moment, Amanda's phone rang. She looked at her phone and a frown appeared on her face.
"Who is it?" Rick asked.
"Wrong number," Amanda rejected the call and shook her head and said.
Just then the elevator door opened and Amanda again plastered her smile on her face, "Come, let's go."
~~~~~
As Amanda and Rick walked out of the movie theater, Amanda couldn't help but gush about how much she had enjoyed the film.
"Oh my gosh, Rick, that movie was amazing! Never knew so much was happening around the world. And the action scenes were so intense!" Amanda almost jumped with excitement.
Rick grinned at Amanda's excitement. He was glad that she had enjoyed herself. For him, the most important thing was seeing her having a good time. That was what a man is supposed to do.
"I am really glad you liked it. It's always a gamble picking a movie, but it seems I hit the jackpot this time," Rick felt relieved.
As they descended the escalator, Amanda's chatter continued. She was still animatedly discussing various scenes and characters from the movie. They had just got out after watching Oppenheimer. Rick never knew Amanda was actually a movie buff, glad he decided to bring her to the movies.
Just as they reached the ground floor, Rick's eyes caught sight of a store nearby. It was a jewelry store, its displays twinkling with various pieces of accessories. An idea sparked in his mind, and he turned to Amanda with a mischievous grin.
"Hey, Amanda, wanna check out something cool?" Rick asked, grinning.
Amanda looked at him with a mixture of curiosity and surprise.
"What do you mean? What is it?" Amanda asked.
Rick tugged gently at her hand, leading her toward the store, "You'll see. Trust me, it'll be fun."
As they entered the store, Amanda's eyes widened in realization. It was a jewelry store, and her heart raced with a mix of excitement and confusion.
"Rick, what are we doing here?" Amanda nervously asked. But Rick just smiled at her and moved forward.
Rick walked up to the counter, where a friendly saleswoman was stationed. He flashed a charming smile and gestured toward Amanda.
"Hi there. Could you show us something special for the beautiful lady?" Rick pleasantly spoke to the lady.
The saleswoman smiled warmly and nodded, stepping back to retrieve a tray of delicate necklaces and earrings. Meanwhile, Amanda tugged gently on Rick's shirt, trying to get his attention without causing a scene.
"Rick, seriously, we shouldn't be here. I mean, what are we even doing in a jewelry store?" Amanda whispered, trying not alert the saleswoman.
Rick turned his attention back to Amanda, his grin not faltering.
"Just trust me, Amanda. It's all good, I promise." Rick told Amanda, trying to relax her.
Amanda bit her lip, still unsure about the situation. After all, Rick was just a college student, and the idea of being in a jewelry store seemed way out of their league. Even she could only afford just some casual jewelry from the store.
"Rick, I appreciate the gesture, but you know we don't need to do this, right?" Amanda looked at him, worried.
Rick chuckled softly, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, Amanda. I know what I'm doing." Rick assured her.
Amanda's anxiety didn't completely dissipate, but she decided to give Rick the benefit of the doubt.
And her phone buzzed again.
"Someone has been calling you so many times. Why don't you pick it up? They must have something important to tell you." Rick said.
Amanda bit her lip when Rick looked at her, "It's just a wrong number," Amanda said.
"I don't want anyone to interrupt our time alone," Amanda thought for a while and resolutely said, rejecting the call.
"If you say so. I won't ask more," Rick smiled at Amanda and said, "But never forget that I will always be there for you, okay? You can tell me everything."
Then Rick turned his attention towards friendly saleswoman, "We should not make the pretty lady wait."
The saleswoman, was now holding out a delicate necklace adorned with a sparkling pendant.
The saleswoman smiled hearing Rick's compliment, "Here you go, a stunning piece for the lady."
Amanda looked at the necklace, her eyes widening slightly at its beauty. She turned to Rick, her voice a mixture of surprise and worry.
"Amanda, really, you don't have to worry," Rick said.
And before she could say anything, Rick had already taken the necklace from the saleswoman and was gently placing it around Amanda's neck. He fastened the clasp, his fingers brushing against her skin.
"There we go, perfect fit." Rick clapped his hands.
Amanda's heart raced as she looked at herself in the mirror. The necklace was indeed stunning, its pendant catching the light in a mesmerizing way.
"See? Doesn't she look amazing?" Rick asked the saleswoman.
"Indeed she is a beauty," The saleswoman nodded. She felt a bit jealous. Jealous enough that it was not sure if she was praising the pendant or Amanda.
Amanda felt a mix of emotions – surprise, gratitude, and a hint of unease. She was touched by Rick's gesture but also worried about the implications of such a lavish gift.
"Rick, this is really sweet, but..."
Rick placed a finger on her lips, silencing her with a smile.
"No ifs and buts," Rick shook his head.
"Amanda?" A surprised voice sounded from behind.
"Who is this guy?" The voice had a bubbling anger inside it.
