Dexter? Dexter??
The noise drowning out the melody of mathematical equations running through his head like a stream of musical notes. His eyes remained closed for a moment before opening them and returning to reality. His hands were buried in his face he could make out images around him but he was confused. A feeling of anxiety with a touch of déjà vu came over him as he slowly lowered his hands and smiled nervously.
"You are the worst you know that Dex?" The beautiful brunette smiled flirtatious as she reached into her bag to grab a lighter. Putting a cigarette to her mouth she lite it and took a drag. He sat watching intensely putting the pieces together in his mind to what was actually going on. She smiled, putting her hand on top of his.
"I'm sorry I was miles away what did you say again?" He said playfully.
He could tell she was slightly annoyed as she replied. "How did you get the cut?" Judging by the situation he hadn't slept with her yet and knowing that he not only could but he would, Dexter knew it was probably their first get together. His mind began formulating possible scenarios until he noticed in his peripheral vision other people looking at him. The restaurant itself was very high class and Dexter quickly got his bearings straight. She dug her nail into his hand slightly pinching Dexter bringing his attention back on her. He grabbed her hand. "Let's go get some coffee I need a little caffeine." Getting up he turned pulling her with him as he moved, she following without hesitation. Her act got him riled up and he knew better than to argue with his libido. Dexter ran his other hand over his chin, the wound was fresh, about two days old or so.
"Your car." His driver yelled out, Dexter knowing who he was talking to without looking. Pulling the lady to the door he let her in while putting his hand in his pocket. James smiled. "You were stressed earlier sir. A nice QUITE evening at home will do you good." Dexter knew what he meant and let out a laugh.
"All is well Mr. Rothguard."
"All is well Jimmy." Dexter replied putting his hand on James shoulder for a moment. Going into the car he felt relaxed once again as the brunette inched to his side and the door closed behind him.
