Chapter 18 Dating With No Panties On

Author’s POV (Point Of View):

The agreed weekend for Tainted Scorpion’s date finally arrived. It was a Saturday morning. The sun was alive and well.

Anna made sure to prepare herself for the outing. She freshened the outer textures of her body but her insides were still a tainted mess. No matter how well she disguised herself, she couldn’t completely masked the sharpness of her deadly eyes. Which was why she hid them behind dorky glasses.

Anna overlooked her beauty by staring in an elongated mirror at a lateral angle in her room. She was wearing a beautiful flower dress, tight at the top, loose at the bottom which covered her ankles. Her smooth feet were comfortably embraced with light hazel sandals. She was told by her admirer to wear casual apparel also, to pack an extra set of clothes. Deleon planned to visit a local beach with her. As she continued to admire her beauty an expected guess stepped into her room with mouth agape.

“Wow! Not bad, Ms Sexy. You’re really feeling this date spirit, aren’t you? Good thing I brought these.”

Glancing towards the origin of the elated voice, Anna identified her minion dangling a loose folding of condoms from her fingers. “Ember why the heck did you bring me those? Do you think that I’m a walking brothel or something?”

Ember wiggled over to Anna’s proximity and placed the length of condoms in her palm. “Come on, you’ll need these to end your first date on good terms. Doing it earlier on in the relationship will surely make it memorable.”

“Get this rubbish out of my face! Make what memorable? There will be no purring of my golden pussycat tonight.” Anna pushed back the pack of condoms in Ember’s grasp and spoke angrily. “Have you forgotten, Ember? I only agreed to go out with that weak man to find out what secrets he’s hiding concerning those Dark Bloom Orchids.”

“Alright, alright. You don’t have to twist my arm any further. I was only trying to help your date be a success. I’m sure that if you let that good-looking man taste the inner lips of your nooky, he would surely divulge all his company’s secret without this hassle of date or you could simply torture the information out of him. Isn’t that a speciality of yours?”

“Enough, Ember! I’m getting sick and tired of your mouth now. Go downstairs to look after the shop. Make sure that when I get back I see some profit.” Anna forced Ember out of her living space.

“So you’re kicking me out now? How mean. Am I getting this bad treatment because I was asleep during your bothersome ordeal the other night? How many times do you want me to apologize? I even rebuild your vandalized shop with my pocket money. Which other employee do you know is that kind, huh? None. I’m your only one.”

“Yea, yea. Piss off now. Go do your damn job already.” [Slam!] Anna shut the door in Ember’s sulking face, but shortly afterwards she heard loud banging.

[Bam! Bam! Bam!] “Hey, boss! Don’t make babies on your first day alright? Otherwise, your sexy figure will stretch out of shape! I left the rubber package on the table. Don’t forget to wrap the sausage before digesting it. I’m heading down now.” [Thud! Thud! Thud!] In fear of being reprimanded by her mentor, Ember quickly dashed down the stairs the moment she finished barking her lewd mouth at the door.

“Tsk, this damn minion.” Anna cracked a rueful smile as she shook her head. “I better finish packing my change of clothes.” On her way back to her bedroom, Anna glanced at the pack of condoms sitting on the table, picked off a few and stuff it into her bag.

“I’m not expecting to do anything obscene with him. This is just a precautionary measure. Yes, yes, a precautionary measure.” She tried long and hard to convince herself.

[Vrm!] An hour later, Deleon pulled over in front of the shop where he spotted Anna already waiting for him with her posh bag in hand. He quickly got out of the car and greeted her properly.

“Anna, let me help you with the bag.”

“Oh, it’s okay. I can handle it. It’s not that heavy.” Anna played the role of a humble soul but Deleon still insisted on taking her bag. He was such a chivalrous gentleman or was he? The thing men do to get in women panties.

[Slam!] After stashing away Anna’s light bag in the back portion of his car, Deleon opened the front door beside the driver’s seat. He waited until Anna’s buttocks had settled in before he went inside the vehicle and restarted the engine. [Vrm! Vrm!]

“Make sure you’re buckled in, Anna. They are a lot of mad drivers on the road these days.”

“Oh, alright. Please drive carefully. I am afraid of meeting in a car accident.” Her cunning tone made her duplicitous words seem so believable. Deleon fell hook line and sinker for her nice girl persona, whilst not aware that she was playing him. She only wanted to extract valuable information out of him or did she?

To start of their date, they went to a fancy attraction over by Arak Gold’s local beachfront. A lot of enjoyable events took place that day for it was Arak Gold anniversary of independence. They played in the sand, dipped their toes in the water, also, bonded over refreshing beverages.

During their time of dryness, Anna found it strange that Deleon was wearing a long fitted glove on both arms. “Why is it every time I meet with you your arm is always covered? Do you have ugly hand scars from all that lab work?”

“Something like that. Hey, let’s go for a dip.” Deleon replied while changing the subject of his suspicious arms very quickly.

Amid the splashy body of wetness, Deleon discovered that Anna was afraid of seawater which was actually true. Tainted Scorpion had little to no skills at sea. To remedy this fault, Deleon thought her the basics of keeping afloat in water. He supported her by placing his hands on her sleek back to aid her buoyancy.

“This is still so difficult. How come you’re such a good swimmer, Dele?” After an hour of gruelling training, Anna was still struggling with the basic skill-set required for swimming. Deleon had to stop their session a couple of times so that she could recuperate her depleted muscle strength.

“Swimming isn’t that hard once you put your mind to it. When I was growing up I got ill a lot, my doctor recommended the seawater to help with my ailment. So I went to the beach a lot with my parents until they passed away.”

“Your parents passed away?”

“Yeah, they…”

“Huh?” Anna realized that Deleon was getting sad and quickly changed the topic. She couldn’t ask him about the Dark Bloom Orchid if he was feeling dejected about his parents’ death. Though she was curious about how they perished, she took heed to her lips, carefully constructing her words.

“Deleon I think I’ve had enough water for today. Why don’t we try out those attractions over there?”

“Oh, yeah. Let’s go. Huh, wait.” After glancing above; identifying the swift approach of dusk, Deleon changed his mind. “Forget about that. I have something better in mind. Say, are you hungry?”

“I’m famished!”

“Then it is just the right time. Grab your stuff and get changed, I’m going to order some grub for us to eat.” Deleon dashed out of the water, his legs led him to a food store nearby where he purchased light meals for himself and Anna. The food wasn’t anything fancy nor expensive but it was a delicious combination of barbecue chicken, fried potatoes, butter biscuits, mixed vegetables bathed in mayonnaise, and refreshing beverages to wash it all down.

Deleon brought the food to his car, got changed very quickly then waited around for Anna’s return. Sometime later, he spotted her strutting towards him with sandals in hand. At that moment, she resembled a radiant flower dancing in the wind. Her loose garment fluttered back and forth. If she wasn’t holding her dress firmly, all of her expensive merchandise would have been exposed.

During her rush to get ready for her date, Anna had forgotten to pack an extra set of undergarments. Which was why she was strutting towards Deleon commando style. “This is all Ember’s fault. Because of her constant nagging, I forgot to bring an extra change of panties. Dear lord, this troublesome wind is tickling my fancy.”

“Anna you seem uncomfortable. Is everything okay?”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Just a little bit winded from all that water is all.” Anna gave a forced smile with her reply.

“Oh, okay. Get in.” Deleon opened the car door for Anna to enter. After their bottoms settled, Anna formed enquiry about their next destination.

“Where are we going now? Shouldn’t we have eaten first?”

“We will, soon. Where we’re going isn’t that far away.” Deleon drove the vehicle to a nearby hillside which overlooked the lush beachscape. A flourishing Elij-Plum was hanging over the edge of the hill.

A simple dining spot was set in place by the lush vegetation. Thick layers of towels were spread across the smooth grassland. Sitting atop that plushness were comfy cushions. Also, an igloo containing ice was there to keep their beverages cool. This scenery was romantically decorated.

“Wow! When did you have time to set this all up?” Anna pretended to be amazed by the romantic scenery.

“I’m glad you like it. I’ve been coming to this place ever since my childhood to appreciate the beautiful sunset. Go ahead, sit. You don’t have to worry about bugs and such. I’m going to retrieve the food from the car.”

Deleon ran back to where he had parked the vehicle while thinking to himself: “She was impressed. It’s a good thing I took Kate’s advice, setting this place up in advance.”

Anna sat on one of the comfy cushions. She glanced around rubbing her palms across the towel’s smooth surface. “This guy is way too romantic for his own good. All this lovey-dovey stuff just to get into my panties? Oops, I’m currently not wearing any. Should I flash him a tease of my bare merchandise? Hu-fu-hu.”

“What was that about merchandise?”

“Hiup!” Anna was startled by Deleon’s sudden appearance. He crept up behind her like a silence fox with his soft footsteps. [Cough! Cough!] “Hey, don’t startle me like that.”

“Huh, I startled you? Sorry about that, it wasn’t my intention. I brought the food, let us enjoy it.” Deleon sat beside Anna on the posh cushion where they shared a delicious meal. As they exercised their tongues, they watched the picturesque sunset which glittered the wet surface of the horizon.
