*I rush to my window to catch the last glimps of a you walking away and I still am grinning.*

Winston I got a sweet lil kiss.
And I gave him one back.. plus he wants to meet again.

*The poor fur baby will be hearing more of my swooning all night long.*

I like John the troubleshooter.

*Smiles*

*Heart skips and drops. Fingers brush over my lips as I look at you.*
I .. this .. you ..

*Just grins ,cheeks red, but before I slip inside the building I turn around and place a soft kiss to your lips*

There .. now we both did it and I hope for more of them in future.

Caffè domani ??

Me too,you John. And yeah .. this is my place here.

*At same time our heads go up and eyes meet. Shy ,nervous smiles exchanged*

I had lots of fun today .. and would love to get to know more about you. Maybe coffee when you got time ?

*Bites lip ,hoping you will be for it*

Winston said you may do so.
*Thank god the sun started setting and the orange of it covers my blushing cheeks*

And I'd love if you would.
Please John.

*With a shy smile I start walking up my block by your side. Lost in asking and answering qurstions. Smiling all the way.*

Pardon my french gentlemen but .. What the actual fuck??
How,when,whaaa,how??
Yeah I said how twice ,because just .. Ohh and it's the panda plushie. We want that one.

*One giant plush toy passes owner and I am hugging it tight while we keep on strolling*

CIA or FBI or MI6 my guess.
Hot or cold?

How on earth did you .. I didn't even blink. Now after that stunt we are going over there.

*Points at where I need us to go.*
Come, need too see if my gut feeling is right.

*Taking your hand I pass you Winstons leash and drag you to the other end of the closed off road.*

Panda plushie please.

Winston Jonathan Charon you back stop it. Making it seem as if you get starved. I swear John he gets food .. lots of it. He just is a bottomless pit.

*Tearing of a chunk of my cotton candy I hold it in front of your mouth smiling .. then eat it all myself.*

Gotta be quicker double O hot.

Wanted to ask if you like sweets.
*I look around and to my saving a cart is there that sells just what is needed now.*

Lil sugar rush after the adrenalin one?

*Winston barks and that is a yes. Getting one for you I hold it,then wait on mine before paying*

Whaaa ?? Mine is just a bit bigger

Woah .. that was close. How did you know??
*I stay pressed against you realizing what just happened.*

Was about to ask if you were some sort of a 007 agent,but could not speak of it freely. Hence why the troubleshooter line. Now I think you are sort of life saver Saint with dark wings.

Lucky pup ..

*Realizing what I just said I stuff my face with the chicken and joke how my nonna would say needs more paprika.*

Maybe someday you could cook a homemade past dish for me and I will honestly judge it.

*Arm links with yours as we move along the crowd again*

May I ask a thing?

You are too charming for your or my own good John.

*Following you ,we pass more food. The various smells and aromas delicious*

Do you cook?

*Holds a mini taco up to you*

I am good but mostly pasta dishes. Go figure ,right?

*Laughs as I bite into the taco right after you.*

Had better.

What you are seeing there is not a dog. It's a hoover on four paws.
*Chuckling I watch you with Winston and my heart melts. Such a natural kind person.
Soon our food is done and the first bites and moans tell it all*

Damn .. these are good.

*Eats a few fries and offers you*

John .. you must !

Winston you traitor.

*My words more a whisper towards Winston who just as I mets away upon seeing you. Loving that he got first attention.*

At the beginning handsome John.

*Laughing we begin our journey through the many stands of the food festival.*

Angus burger and fries ?

*Leans into you*

Remember you jump on him so I have to rescue him from you .. play along Winston.

*Never ever have my feet carried me faster to an appointment than they have now. Spotting you there I grin*

Hey there troubleshooter.
You came. Loiking good atop of it all

*Forgets time and space and just smiles*

*Reading the text I laugh out loud. Troubleshooter got sass. Me likey that. Reply is sent back instantly. Less greedy sounding this time.
📲 Winthea are on their way there as I am texting you back.*

Come Winston we got to move

*With that said ,one pup and Italo girl are out the door.*

>>
*Phone in hand a text is sent.
=> Hey John .. Athena from earlier here. We still on for the food festival thing downtown? Hope so, would love seeing you .. if not all is cool. Love Athena xo

Pressing send I wait nervously for a reply.
Wondering if I'll see intriguing John again.

*Countless the times that my hand has reached for the phone. Admonishing myself to play it cool. He was just being nice and polite towards a lonely soul. Not like me .. hearts in eyes the moment he smile.
Looking at Winston I ask for advice ,but the pup just jawns.*

Come on Athena ..

>>

*Chuckles at your words.*

Street food festival John.
No restaurant. And yes, looking forward seeing you later, so that we can yap and eat some more as this was fun.

*Heat hits my kissed cheek and I in return caress over yours.*

See you later John the troubleshooter.

*Smiles as I get up*
