10 Sexy and Virile (1/2)

Daniel looked at Samantha in the eye and smirked, ”Okay.. naturally you'd also have your own conditions. I've expected that much.”

Samantha nodded, ”Okay.” Then she pulled out the paper that Daniel gave her the other night, the piece of paper didn't look like any business contract at all, rather it's just a list that contained several things which Daniel requests from her.

• Inform each other's whereabouts at all times;

• Avoid any dangers at all cost; of course, this is for your own safety.

• Mutual respect.

• Exclusivity.

• Honesty.

• Open communication.

These are actually very basic things that a couple would not need to proactively agree upon. Why was Samantha indecisive at first, aren't these things supposed to be 'a given' when dating? She is still a bit bothered why they have to do this silly paper.

”I just have a question..” Samantha asked.

”Shoot.”

”Let's not lie..” Samantha paused before she continued, ”Are you dating me only because you want your mother off your back?”

Daniel did not answer, he's sure that Samantha still wants to ask another one. And sure enough, Samantha sees that Daniel is waiting. ”The last time, I asked you if you like me... And then you told me that our mothers are setting us up hence your proposal.”

”Go on..” Daniel gaze bore into Samantha's eyes making her swallow.

”You are a clever man, I'm sure that you can think of other ways to solve your problem. So why me? Why are you doing this?”

”You want the truth?... Fair enough, since you are a straightforward person, I'll be honest with you.” Samantha leaned back on the couch as she watched Daniel carefully. He loosened his tie a little and said, ” I find you interesting... Interesting enough to make me possibly like you. I like you because I can sense that you are a genuine person. I want to get to know you more not because my mother forced me to but because I want to; you have to understand, if I want something, I'm going to pursue it, others wouldn't be able to affect my decisions. Since I like you, I'm going to pursue you, even if my mother didn't badger me, I will still pursue you.”

”Samantha, I'm positive that you are already aware of this.. but you're asking me because you want assurance, that's why I'm opening up to you.”

Samantha didn't deny it, she nodded and said, ”That's true.”

”So your mom setting you up with other women…?” Samantha probed.

Samantha listened to Daniel and now she can finally understand him better. 'He's a unique guy, what kind of dating proposal is this? How can he say he likes me so openly.'

Well, you asked him. So he answered.

There was silence in the room as Samantha stared into Daniel's eyes, she wanted to see him clearly…see how honest he is. Daniel did not waver and so Samantha, satisfied, she said, ”All right... Your first clause, instead of 'at all times' let's change it to 'as often as necessary'.”

”Very well.”, replied Daniel.

”And I'd like to add just a few more,” Samantha gave him her paper that said:

• Arrange date nights at least once a week and (should be free from distractions)

• Honor commitments we make.

• Be faithful.

• Maintaining privacy.

”For the last part, I'm not sure if you know this but as much as possible, I'd like to be low profile. So if it's not necessary, I don't want my identity to be known by irrelevant people.”

Daniel smiled while reading the paper. They didn't really ask a lot from each other, the things listed were to be expected to maintain their relationship. They both just want to be true to each other.

”So, it's settled then..” Daniel smirked.

Samantha and Daniel are now 'officially' dating. So... what now?
