I sat down in Krissy's car when I realized that I don't know her that well and that she could totally be taking me somewhere to murder me. Honestly if anyone is going to murder me I'd want it to be her. She sat down in the driver's seat and I began to panic slightly, she was next to me,she was taking an interest in me and I don't want to mess this up. Krissy looked over to me, ran a hand through her hair, and said, "We can do whatever you wanna do. We can go wherever you wanna go. This is my treat to you." Well that statement scared me because I'm indecisive. "I uh...well...I like this coffee shop downtown. We don't have to go there if you don't want to. It's not everyone's scene." She smiled at me and said, "Hey, relax." Her smile made me less tense. My muscles relaxed a bit. Krissy turned her head towards the road and we were off to my little safe haven downtown.

"Watch your step as you walk in the door there's a drop-off there" I said as I opened the door and heard the familiar sound of the bell ringing. I went to the counter and ordered my usual chai tea latte. Krissy spent a minute looking at the menu with a confused look. Eventually she looked at the guy working at the counter and said "Sorry about the wait I'm not too sure what a lot of this hipster shit is. I'll just take a black coffee please. I started to pull out my wallet when she lightly placed her hand over my wallet. "No you are not paying for anything tonight." She told me with a smile. I felt her hand lightly brush agianst mine, I shuttered a bit as she smiled at me. Our eyes met for a second before Krissy looked away and paid for our drinks. In that moment I realized that her eyes weren't green they were hazel. We sat down in a cozy corner next to the window. "Soo is it always empty in here?" Krissy asked. I looked around the room and then back at her before answering, "Yea, most of the time. Nobody really knows this place exists because of its unfortunate placement." The coffee was indeed downtown, but it was placed in a dark alley. I contiued talking,"I'm not really sure who's bright idea it was to put it here. I'd say their reasoning was the fact that the rent was cheap." Krissy smiled while listening to me ramble on about nothing. The more time I spent with her the easier it was to talk to her. Her overall demeanor was inviting and sweet. "How about you tell me about you." she suggested to me before taking a sip of her coffee. I blushed at her. Wow, she is actually interested in me. "I um well..." I started stumbling over my words again. Krissy just has this thing that makes me stupid. Just oh my god she's gorgeous. "I'm really into art, I consider myself to be a hippie without the commitment, and I'm pansexual." I smiled at her while trying to calm myself down. Krissy seemed pleased with my answer. She took another sip of her coffee. "Cool. I like the lightning round version of you and everything, but I'd like to hear more about you than that." I chuckled at her. She had genuine interest in me, but I want to know more about her too. "No,no no more Harper talk until I hear more about you." I said boldly. She smirked at me then hesitated, "I don't really talk about me. All you need to know is that I think you're beautiful and that I really like bdsm." My face turned red when she said that. I could feel my face burning. She bit her lip and continued,"But you don't have to worry about the second thing until you're ready." She's so cocky and honestly I love it. Krissy has confidence which is a breath of fresh air for me.

As I finished my drink Krissy looked at me and said, "Come on, it's my turn to show you something." With that she stood up , grabbed my hand and lead me to the door.
