Sometimes I?ll take it to the back on my break and chill on it while watching tiktoks.??This is perfect. What?s your name by the way???Oh, I?m Erin.??Nice to meet you, Erin. I?m Ben. So what?s got you working here???Eh. You know. The usual I guess. Just trying to pay the bills while saving up for school. I wouldn?t be here if I didn?t have to be.? Her demeanor dimmed.?Well thank you, Erin. Here. Take this.? Ben handed her one of his cards.Ben had had these cards specially made. They were black metal, with the word Sugar gold stamped on the front. On the back was his phone number. They were cheesy, but they worked.?Um. Thank you?? She looked very confused. But that was all part of the plan.Ben went to the counter and checked out, purchasing the bean bag. Erin approached him as he was putting his card back into his wallet.??That thing is pretty big.

Maybe I?ll see you around sometime.?She stood there speechless as he walked out of the store.~Qualify~It wasn?t long before his phone started buzzing with received texts from Erin.

I hope that means you?ll text me back.??What does sugar even mean???Like? sugar daddy???You know. Most people have read receipts on.

The noodle queendom deserves a just and benevolent ruler.? He added a few emojis.?So this number is real! I thought you weren?t going to respond ever. Was it the pic that made you want to respond? Or did you finally have time away from the wife??Clever girl. She?s qualifying me, he thought. My turn. ?Not married. Just giving you enough time to explain to your significant other where the expensive gift came from.??Touche, mister. I?m single AF. Who would want this??? She attached a pic of her making a contorted face.?Thanks for my new wallpaper!??You wouldn?t dare, lol??I can show you tomorrow while we have dinner. There?s a cozy steakhouse not too far from the mall.??I.. uhh.. ok. I can do that. What time??The flirting continued for a few hours before they both called it a night.Petrichor: the smell of recent rain was heavy that evening as Ben walked into the steakhouse. ?Hi, I?ve got a reservation for two. I?ll go ahead and be seated while waiting on my date.?Ben liked this place because it was fancy enough that some people would dress up for but comfortable enough where no one would bat an eye at diners in more casual attire.

She was wearing a medium length skirt and a graphic tee shirt displaying some characters from an anime. ?Am I underdressed? I feel underdressed.??What you?re wearing is perfect, Erin. I like the ghibli shirt. What?s your favorite of their movies???Shut. Up. You like studio ghibli????Yeah! You?d have to be some sort of robot to not enjoy those movies.?Conversation flowed smoothly as they moved through appetizers and the main course. As they waited for dessert to arrive, she started asking more pointed questions.?Why me? I?m half your age at least. Don?t get me wrong, I appreciate the gift and the dinner, and I actually think you?re pretty cool, but what?s this all about???I?m glad you asked. I want to be up front and tell you that I will be completely honest with you at all times. You just need to ask. And why you? Well, I had a hunch that I?d really like you. So I wanted to spend some more time with you to see if I was right. So far, you haven?t been disappointed.??No, I mean? ugh?how do I ask this. Are you just meeting with me to, you know, get with me? Hoping that because you?ve got money I?ll be interested???I see. I?m not a fan of long relationships. I like the fire, the passion, that comes at the beginning of a relationship. I crave it honestly.

I was just hoping to save enough to not have to get loans for housing and books. But wait. This is crazy.??It?s not crazy. It?s real. But I haven?t made my mind up about you yet. And you certainly haven?t made up yours about me. Let?s go on a few more dates and think about what this adventure means for each other.??I?m not even that attractive. You could have approached a supermodel. I?m just plain, goofy me.?
