<br/><br/>Alex was more than pleased by how much Chloe opened up to him. It was also very interesting to hear her side of the stories, of which he had only ever found out the facts, not the feelings or motivations. And most of all, he loved how her passions shone through. Some of them he knew already, but he delighted in how much pain he had caused a woman that cared so deeply for family and friends. He had really delivered a crushing blow. But admirably, she was still standing, still strong, still passionate.<br/><br/>And now, hopefully in his hands.<br/><br/>As she stood to leave, he got up as well, waiting for her to collect her purse. At her words, he just smiled lightly. Guiding her outside, he walked her to her car, all the while making light conversation. It was the gentlemanly thing to do, and he didn't mind, since she seemed to appreciate it.<br/><br/>Once they had arrived at her car, though, Alex took charge.<br/><br/><strong>"I had a really great time. I am still convinced you are more than interesting and I want to take this further. So, I will either pick you up at seven or meet you at the theatre around that time, tonight. We'll grab a bite and pick either a play, a movie, or something else around the area there to do. Whatever takes our fancy."</strong><br/>Not giving her the time to answer, he leaned closer and captured his lips with his. He kissed her softly, with a slightly growing passion, even using his tongue to tease her pinkish lips, before he pulled back, looking at her, and stepping back.<br/><br/><strong>"So, see you tonight?"</strong>
