Trying New Things

The wine flowed until they emptied the bottle. Yara relaxed on the sofa as he sat beside her. He made his famous margaritas and served her two glasses of those, to which she enjoyed. "It's like you served all my favorites," Yara said of the sweet red wine and the cocktails.



Rocky ordered takeout and served a mean meal along with another six-pack of beer. The two hit it off like they were old longtime friends. The man was so easy to talk to and laugh with that Yara lost all sense of time.



The man gazed at Yara, his eyes falling to her chest as she breathed, her cleavage rising and falling. He tilted his head and brushed his hand over her arm causing a flash of gooseflesh. "You know, I bet there's some things I don't know about you. I'd like to get to know you even better," he said.



Yara smiled and nodded. "I'm an open book. What would you like to know?"



"What do you like?" Rocky smiled as he wagged his brow.



"I like margaritas, red wine, I'm addicted to exercise. I like helping others which is why I became a nurse. And my favorite color is pink," Yara said.



Rocky chuckled as he shook his head. "Okay, we'll play it that way. I like margaritas, red wine, and I'm addicted to exercise. I enjoy helping others gain a healthy body through exercise. And my favorite color is brown," Rocky said.



"Brown?" Yara made a face.



"Yeah, sweetie. Like the rich browns of wood. I'm a naturey kind of guy. I enjoy hikes in the mountains, rock climbing, and snow skiing," Rocky said.



"Oh, okay. I see we're playing it this way. I enjoy beautiful flowers in all colors but especially pink. I enjoy rock climbing and spelunking in deep dark caves," Yara said as she lifted her brow.



"Oh, a spelunker, are you? Ever been scuba diving in a lake in a cave? I have," Rocky said as he lifted his brow.
