"let's go on a date." chris says out of the blue, making sage look at him like he was crazy. sage clicked her tongue and continued eating her food, making chris raise his eyebrow.
"i can't take you on a date ?" he asked, watching her as she sipped on her water.
the both of them had just got off work and were currently sitting at sage's island eating street tacos since that's what she had a taste for, so he made sure that's what she got. chris had been wanting to ask her on a official date for some time now, it just took him awhile because he was nervous.
"i don't do dates." sage says.
chris raised his eyebrow, noticing sages stank ass attitude. "what's your problem? come here." he tells her, reaching his hand out and pulling her off the barstool and making her stand between his legs.
"can you talk to me? why you got this attitude?"
chris gently tugged her closer, his hands resting on her waist while she crossed her arms over her chest. she rolled her eyes but didn't pull away. "i don't have an attitude," she mumbled, her voice low.
he tilted his head, looking at her closely. "you a lie. what's wrong ?" his thumb traced light circles on her waist, a small attempt to soften her up.
sage shifted slightly, avoiding his gaze as she stared at the half-empty plate of tacos on the counter. "i don't do dates chris," she muttered again, her tone firm this time.
chris frowned, "and why not?" his voice was laced with genuine curiosity, they were communicating. this is better then them shouting at each other.
sage pouts, feeling his finger rub small circles on her skin. "i just don't know. we was just arguing yesterday and dates make me extremely nervous." she tells him, keeping her eyes on the floor.
chris sighed, "it's just me and you baby. you have nothing to be nervous about." he says. "and me and you blew that prank way out of proportion, it wasn't supposed to be like that."
sage held his eye contact, still having second thoughts about letting him take her on a date. they were just way too intimate to her.
"think about it like this, we're just going out to eat. just putting on fancy clothes. can you consider it please? i've been wanting to ask you for so long."
now when he looked at her like that and said please, she couldn't say no. "i guess." she says, sitting back down in her chair. chris smiles, "i knew you'd say yes, don't worry. i'll make sure it's not awkward or anything. just look pretty for me, like you do naturally." he says, leaning down and pulling her stool closer to him.
sage shook her head, feeling him start to press tiny kisses to her cheek. "sooner or later, i'm gonna make you my girlfriend zari, we're gonna be official." he tells her in her ear, she felt shivers shoot through her spine.
"is that a promise?"
chris smiled at her, "yes it is, i don't break promises." he tells her. he brought his hand to her jaw and made her face him. "i like you zari, i see us going far."
sage could tell by the look in his eyes that he was telling the truth, and his feelings were sincere.
"i like you too chris."
sage leaned forward and locked their lips gently. she felt him relax into the soft kiss, his lips felt like two soft clouds. "mhm.. tomorrow at 8, after work." he mumbles against her lips, making her smile. "okay." she replies. chris pulls away, his eyes were low as he looked at her.
"throw this away and stop staring at me." she says, standing up from the stool and going to sit on the couch. chris rolled his eyes and did as he's told, picking up their mess.
sage searches for her phone once she felt it vibrate. once she found it she laid back on the couch, chris coming over and laying on her chest, her hand flew to his hair.
"hey sage what you doin?" ciara speaks through the phone, it sounds like she was in a car.
"laying with christopher, what are you doing?" sage asked, "uhh nothing. bitch am i on speaker?" ciara started to whisper. "nope." sage says, turning down her phone so chris couldn't hear the conversation, he was too busy scrolling on tiktok anyways.
"good, you wanna come kick it with me at this bar? me and dude got into it again, so i'm outside tonight." ciara says. "i'm gonna snitch, he gon beat that ass." sage says, knowing how minho could get when it came to ciara.
"bestie, you supposed to be my bestie." ciara pouts, even though sage couldn't see her. "i am your bestie, but that's big bro, he probably gon beat my ass too."
"fuck are y'all talking about?" chris looked up from his phone, "nothing." sage ran her hand down his face to try to get him to be quiet and mind his business.
"i'm calling minho." chris said, making sage roll her eyes. "chris is trying to snitch on you." sage says. "i hear him, put me on speaker."
sage removed the phone from her ear and put herself on speaker. "whatever you doing right now minho gon find out." chris says, "he gon find out if yo ass snitch! we go way back chan don't do me like this, i'm one of the guys." she speaks, making chris shake his head.
"so what are you doing that my homie can't know about?" he asks her, waiting for her reply.
"doing me and being single, fuck him. fuck everything he stand for. tell him i said that too." and with that ciara hung up the phone.
sage and chris sat in silence for a while, not knowing how to move on from that.
"soo.. i'll call minho." chris says, breaking the silence as he clicked on minhos contact, resting his phone on sage's chest as he listened to it ring.
"what's up?" minho answered the call, it also sounded like he was in a car. before chris could say something, sage spoke up. "we just gon cut to the chase, what's up with you and ciara like foreal, she talking about fuck minho and fuck everything he stand for, she also said she was single? i don't know if you caught up to date right now but—"
minho cut her off with a dark chuckle, that made chris and sage both nervous. "soo.. what's going on?" chris asked.
"nothing for real, i'm following her car as we speak. we gon good y'all trust me." minho says, his ass sounded like a straight psychopath. "oh! uhm so i guess you don't need our help then."
"that's all she said?"
"she said she was outside tonight, whatever that means." sage ram her hand up and down his back as a small gesture, he was like a big ass baby.
"you know exactly what that means? it means i'm gonna put my hands on this girl, and when i do, you might see me on the news tonight." minho says, his mouth sounded like it was covered up now, they heard faint music playing in the background.
"make sure you call me bro, stay safe." chris says, "of course, thank you for telling me." minho says before he hung up the phone, making sage shake her head.
"is it me or did he sound crazier then usual." sage asks chris, making him chuckle. "yeah he did, he might actually end up on the news. it depends."
"i'm glad you not like that."
"says who? i think i'm worse than him."
sage looked down at him and chris held her gaze. he smirked, leaning closer to her ear. "trust me baby. i can get crazy too." he sent shivers down her spine.
