DANIEL- “So I do not want to seem presumptuous, but I was wondering if you are currently single?”
IAN- “Yeah, I don’t seem to have much luck finding the right guy, so I have sworn of dating for a little bit.”
DANIEL- “Oh, I see. Okay then.”
IAN- “Wait, why are you asking?”
DANIEL- “Again, I do not wan to seem presumptuous, but there is this big event for the police department, a gala so to speak. It is to raise money to help the department and actually I think it is just an excuse for us to dress up and drink. But I do not have a date, and was hoping that----
IAN - ‘YES!!! I will go out with you.”
DANIEL- “Okay, that was easier than I thought it was going to be. So this takes place the Saturday before Thanksgiving, and it is formal, so you will need a tux.”
IAN- “I have one, just for occasions like this. No worries.”
DANIEL- (laughs) “Okay, soooo.. I like you Ian, I think you are a good guy, and not had much luck with guys, and I want to get to know you better. I thought this was a good way to do that outside of work so to speak, even though it is a work event.”
IAN- “I was attracted to you the minute Mark and I walked into your office that day. I mean, you are very good looking and your ass...well”
DANIEL- “You are so funny. You just say exactly what is on your mind don’t you?”
IAN- “Yes, and unfortunately that has caused for a lot of awkward situations over the years. but I am better than I used to be. But what I mean is, I am DEFINITELY attracted to you, and think you are very nice as well. But like I said I have a way of choosing the wrong guys.”
DANIEL- “Well, I am not going to drop a roofie in your drink, and I don’t have any hidden agenda, and I have no deep dark secrets lurking in my past, except for my son, who lives with his mother that I have every Wednesday night and every other weekend. So I think you are safe going to a Police Gala with me... and who knows, maybe if things go well, we can compare our asses....without the coverings.”
IAN- “Uh...okay...yes, I would like that... all of that”
