[IC] A Whole New World

[Soul Hunter]

"Well we already have to be honest, dating starts when people have mutual feelings of love for each other you could say. But an actual date is when one r both of them organise somewhere special to go out, well not really special but they doing something special together like going out for dinner and movies all that stuff. It's a little hard to explain really but they also hug and kiss to show affection too, so a bit like in your world I think"

[KatherinWinter]

"I like the idea of showing you my affection." Zack told her. He rested his hand on the small of her back. It had been so hard too keep his hands to himself. It was wonderful to be able to touch her where every and whenever he wanted to."Your world has rules about when and where I can touch you does it not?"

[Soul Hunter]

"Well it's not much of a problem in the house or in private but in front of others people aren't as imitate with each other as they would be in private" she said to him "So like I said hugging and kissing is ok, not so much passionate kissing you could say" she explained "But also small things like holding hands as all is fine too" she said explaining it as best she could to him.

(heading to bed now so night)

[KatherinWinter]

"What about touching you here?" Zack asked as he slowly slide his hand from her cheek to her breast. He gentle ran his thumb over her nipple. "Is this a private caress or a public caress?"

[Soul Hunter]

She blushed when his thumb ran over her nipple "Touching the cheek is ok in public but touching my breast is more of a private caress" she said to him still a little red.

[KatherinWinter]

"You're world has too many rules. I will remember this rule. I don't want to embarrass you." Zack took her hand and brought it up to his mouth. He gently placed a kiss on the palm of her hand. "What about here? Is this public or private?" He asked as he gently sucked on one of her fingers. His eyes twinkled with mischief.

[Soul Hunter]

"They're not so much rules as more of just what people will accept being done in public" she said "Kissing my hand is fine but sucking it is more of a private one although some brave people do it in public as well" she said to him noticing the mischief twinkling in his eyes making her smile "Hmmm and what mischief are you up to?"

[KatherinWinter]

"Me?" Zack asked innocently. "I don't know enough about romance to be up to mischief. What shall we do on our first date? Is there rules to what we can do on these dates? How many dates does one have to go one before they earn the right to explore these private caresses?" He loved watching her reactions. He didn't know why she felt so shy but the more questions he asked the red she got.

[Soul Hunter]

"I have a feeling you know enough and there aren't any rules for dates or private caresses" she said to him and moved to kiss him gently. "I've also realised your a bit of a tease Zack" she laughed and smiled watching his actions "We can do whatever we want on dates to be honest, usually it's something both of us would like so any idea what you want to do?"

[KatherinWinter]

Zack chuckled. He knew she had caught him. She didn't know what he planned but she knew he was up to something. "What is a tease?" He asked. His eyes laughed teller her that he clearly understood what the word meant. "Is this a good this or a bad thing to be?" he placed his hand on the small of her back as he considered what he wanted to do. "I really don't know what I would like to do. What would you like to do?"

[Soul Hunter]

"You clearly know what that is" she said noticing his laughing eyes and shook her head "It can be both good and bad" playing along a little bit as she celt his hands on the small of her back "Hmm how about something simple for the first date… let's see what can we do, there is so much choice" she smiled and watched him carefully.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack laughed. "Yes we have teases on my planet as well. I have been one since I was a teen." He acknowledged her challenge that he knew exactly what she was talking about. He was looking forward to trying his hand at dating. His people never had the time to get to know each other in such a way. "A movie?"

[Soul Hunter]

"Ok then sure we can do that" she smiled at him "Hmm, let's see shall we stay in for the movie , ah that's right we still have to go food shopping" she said to him "and that means you've had plenty of practice if you were a tease since you were a teen, I better be careful then" she joked with him and kissed him gently again. "Come on, we need to go food shopping first before we can watch a movie, might have popcorn on offer you never know"

[KatherinWinter]

"I had forgotten the shopping." He told her honestly. He had been so focused on his success that he had forgotten they needed to get supplies. He wish that he had fund to help her with the expenses. He would make it up to her as soon as he could. "Who pays for dates?" He asked her worriedly. He didn't want to cost her even more by dating her. They could just spend time together at home.

[Soul Hunter]

"Well it depends on the date, something at home like we'll be doing won't cost either of us, but usually people split the bill although occasionally nay one of them pays for the date" she said to him "Don't get so worried also I'm introducing you to those people next week as well so you can relax"

[KatherinWinter]

"I am going to cost you a lot of money between then and now. No dates until I can pay my own way." Zack declared. He didn't like how everything was her responsibility. He wanted to feel like a full partner in their relationship. Until he could do so it didn't seem fair to take that next step.

[Soul Hunter]

"Ok then but we can still watch a movie together tonight at the house, it doesn't cost either of us anything that way" she said to him and kissed his cheek "Still let's go food shopping, I need to get more food in anyway" she nodded and grabbed her car keys "Come on then Zack" heading into the car and drove them to the supermarket.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack followed her to the car. He was alittle disappointed that she didn't seem bothered that they would have to put off dating. He sat in the car waiting for her to start the car. On the way to town, he tried to think of ways to surprise her. She needed to smile more. He liked her smiled. She had smiled when he teased her. Maybe that would be the only way to get her to smile until he was able to date her.

[Soul Hunter]

Once they had parked she got out of the car and looked to him "Ok then, let's get going" she smiled a little and got to work picking out the list she'd brought with her and then heading inside, holding his hand as she began to pick out the things she needed "Zack, can you get the pasta up there for me?" she asked him not really able to reach it since they'd moved it to the top shelf and for her it was a bit too high up. "Thanks" she said and kissed him quickly smiling now since she was more than happy to just be there with him.

[KatherinWinter]

Zack smiled at her. He hadn't really thought about how small she was. How had she was survived so long without someone to guard her. He frowned as he thought about how she must have struggled on her own. He didn't like the thought of her struggling to survive. He would have to take care for her now from now on.
