"It's such a nice day!" Said an older woman as she put her hands on her hips the other woman next to her laughed. "Yea and this park is huge! I didn't think there was one this big in the middle of town" The other girl nodded, "I've brought my kids here a few times but it's been a while, it's nice so maybe i'll bring them later" "More importantly do you see this level of eye candy" the black woman chuckled. A younger girl sighed "Here we go again" The group laughed, "Light even you can't deny there are some hot men around" Karen said with a cheeky smile, "Light doesn't care right?" Jen smiled, "That's cause she's a good girl" Latiara laughed. Light shook her head.
"Let's play a game, Light you have to join" "Huh" "At the count of three we each point to the person we think is the hottest" Karen smiled. The other girls nodded interested, "Well that's easy" Light smiled pointing to herself. Jen and latiera almost keeled over laughing Karen was unamused. "Not yourself, ready?" Everyone looked around, "3….2….1!"
Each person pointed Karen and Jen pointing to the same person, Latiera pointing to someone else and Light pointing to someone else. "Oh!" Karen smiled looking in the direction light was pointing, "So that's your type?" "Oh?""really?" They all looked and Light sighed, "Why do i feel like i got tricked?" Karen swung on her "Go talk to him" "HUH!?" "Oh!?" "I'm not!" "Why not?" "Why would i?" "Don't tell me you're scared?" "And if i am! What if he's a killer?""Really Light?""I dare you""I don't believe in peer pressure" "I will get you those vegan rice cakes you like so much""...how many?""Two packs" "three""three and you have to tell him he's hot""....."
Light walked over to the bench resting on the side of the path where a man sat leisurely, a book open and clearly reading. She paused to take a breath and then walked toward him hoping that at the very least he would look up. And he did grey eyes glanced up and she choked a bit. He was more handsome than she thought.
He calmly closed the book and sat up not breaking eye contact,
"Can i help you?"
He was clearly older but she refused to back down. And taking another breath spoke,
"Sorry to bother you but i was dared to talk to you"
He blinked calmly not a clear expression on his face,
"Dared?"
"Yes, and i'll get rice cakes"
"Rice cakes"
"Vegan half dipped in chocolate"
"You're vegan?"
"Yes...kinda"
"Kinda?"
"I still eat honey but that's it. I'm vegan otherwise"
...…. There was a moment of silence and Light couldn't figure out what the man was thinking as he stared at her.
"So you won the dare huh?"
She blinked, was he helping her?
"Almost i get two pack of cakes talking to you three for something else."
"Should i be scared?"
"I won't touch you but how you feel about it is up to you"
"..... okay what is it?"
"I think you're hot"
There was a squeal in the background. Light sighed and took out her phone and hung up.
"Sorry about that"
The man just sat there staring and she was a bit unnerved.
"Well i'll let you get back to your book"
"Let's date"
"Huh?"
