064

From there, he began to talk about his past and she listened intently. She was more and more impressed as he told his tale. To a young woman who had never known any lacks, it seemed irreal. It wasn't something she could imagine and she didn't dare say that she understood for she knew she couldn't and it would have only been a bad lie. He did not need it either. Ron did not seem like the kind of man that wanted to receive sympathy or pity. Instead, he seemed rather proud of his origins and what he accomplished. She could understand that. Considering what he told her, he had a hard life. His childhood was non-existent and he worked to find what happiness was. Even as a child, he never knew what love was… She felt saddened about it but didn't pity him as he seemed like he wanted to be praised instead. So, she praised him. Sincerely.

From there, the warm atmosphere came back and they could chat about all kinds of topics, serious or not, without dampening the mood.

They spent close to two hours in that place, chatting merrily and eating delicacies. As they left, Jade payed. Neither of them felt awkward about it as it was planned to be so. Ron glimpsed at the cost though and nearly screamed from the shock it brought him. He certainly expected it to be expensive but this much… Without a salary like that of an engineer, forget about coming to this kind of place.

He looked at Jade and couldn't help but once more be faced with the reality of her wealth. She didn't bat an eyelid as she payed the meal. Heck, she was still smiling.

As they exited the restaurant, Jade checked her wrist-com and said: "It's not even midnight, how about coming to my house to chat some more?"

Ron enjoyed his time with her and was more than glad to agree. That being said, he was truly thinking that she wanted to chat. This kind of misunderstanding, attributed to his inexperience, was the reason he remained stunned speechless once they reached there and she began to kiss him with passion.

What came next was blissful to say the least. The both of them played the game of adults until they no longer could due to exhaustion.

Within the covers of the warmed sheets, Ron stroked the face of Jade. She was laying down on him, both naked, with a contented expression. Both of them were happy at that moment.

As he gently caressed her face and moved his hand in her long hair that was slightly dampened by sweat, he had many thoughts in his mind. Yet, the thoughts came and went without him registering them. It was a weird state in which he felt like he was there yet not. A moment in which he could only feel happiness and warmth without having to care about anything else. He was here and she was there. They weren't doing much but it was enough. They didn't need anything else right now. Just being in the embrace of another was all that they required. Neither spoke but both wished this moment could continue.

Unfortunately, time was fair to all and wouldn't ever stop for anyone.

They ended up falling asleep around the same time and woke up early in the morning. Jade had work and Ron had school… They didn't want to get up though. As they awakened in the arms of the other, they simply smiled and hugged. They remained like so for a few minutes before Jade sighed and said: "I got to go to work"

Ron nodded as he answered with a small "Hm" of acknowledgement. They broke from their embrace and got up. Ron blushed a bit as he saw her beautiful naked figure moving. He was still green when it came to these things. A single night, regardless of its intensity, wasn't enough to completely change that.

As she noticed, she laughed cutely but didn't make any commentaries. He smiled to himself before getting up in turn. He was getting his clothes, ready to put them on. But before he could, she took him towards the shower with a grin. Only the sounds of the water flowing down and hitting the ground hid the moans of the two young people.

After they got dressed, they hurried out as Jade was slightly late. She still insisted to drop Ron at the entrance of his university. He didn't reject her since he was late too and she was rather forceful about it.

As she drove, Ron surprised her by asking her: "Would you like to have dinner with me tonight as well? On me this time"

She nearly lost control of the car due to the unexpected offer. In general, people left a few days go by before they met again. Especially at the start of a potential relationship… As she recalled that he was an honest greenhorn, she chuckled. To be honest, she never understood this unspoken rule of letting a few days go by. She always felt like it was a waste of time.

While it might be against the codes of society, she was fine with it. She did enjoy her time with him after all. She agreed with a bright smile. Then, as she dropped him off, he told her that he would take her to a good place he knew but that she should wear a casual outfit this time.

She understood the implicit meaning behind his words. He was telling her indirectly that it would be a cheap place and she should not dress up too elegant.

She acknowledged his demand. She did not mind it. She was curious about it too. As she drove to her workplace, she wondered where he would take her tonight. What kind of food would it be? Would it even be tasty? How cheap would it be?... But more than anything, she was deeply expecting their next meeting as she took quite a liking to this silly young man.
