Chapter 292 - Breathless and Intoxicated
After a few minutes, she saw Cage jogging towards her. She smiled and waved at him, almost like she was seeing him for the first time that day. They walked in hand in hand, not needing to show their ID because they looked old enough.
Thank god for small miracles.
The bar was stretched along one wall, with very few people, while the rest of the room had a wide variety of arcade games. There were a couple of people competing in some of the games, but otherwise, the place was pretty empty.
They looked around for a bit, spotting their favorite games before heading over to the bar. She was too preoccupied to even see where she was headed. He took her by the hand and guided her to the bar, making her sit down and taking his place in the stool beside her.
"What do you want?" he asked tentatively as he eyed the waiter. Her eyes moved to him. She hadn't quite moved on from the games, but when she saw his face, her expression melted and she sighed.
She looked at the drink menu in his hand and took it from him. The names were colorful, all gamer terms that made her laugh.
"This would probably taste horrible," she said, pointing at a particular drink. It was a good thing that the ingredients were mentioned and they didn't have to order blind. Most of these specialty bars kept the menu a 'secret.'
"I would totally order it if you still kissed me at the end of the night." He blinked coyly, so unlike him that it made her giggle.
"You expect me to kiss you at the end of the night?" she said, tilting her head to the side.
"Of course. I think I am allowed on the second date." She rolled her eyes. It wasn't as if he had held back last night, either. They had kissed, and it was damned hot.
They placed their order and went back to the games, replaceing themselves in front of pinballs of various kinds and totally getting immersed. Gamers were like that. Their orders were served on the table beside the game and they quickly glanced at the server and thanked him.
"We should probably drink them," Cage said, his eyes still glued on the game.
"Not before I win this game," Katherine professed.
Her gaming skills had gotten a lot better after the tournament and they were a pretty good match at that. But pinball… it wasn't your everyday game. It was cutthroat. You either won or you died.
"I'm going to make you my bitch," she swore. Cage laughed before replying.
"I'm already your bitch, love. You don't need to beat me at pinball for that." She shrugged and continued. She managed to beat him at that game. When she got to her drinks, they were warmer than required.
They stood side by side, her sipping on their drink as he placed his hand on her waist. There were a few glances thrown at them but no one bothered to come up to them.
The way he spoke to her was something else. She pushed up to her toes and kissed him gently. He could taste the remnants of alcohol on her tongue, and it was nothing short of delicious.
He drive them back and walked her up to the elevator. She had drunk quite a bit and wasn't in a clear state of mind. Maybe she would have invited him up otherwise.
"Hey, Katherine?" he said, making her turn to him.
"Yes?" she said instinctively. He swooped in and pressed a kiss to the back of her ear. "You look beautiful." He peppered kisses down her neck. "Everything about you is so beautiful."
He pulled back slowly, letting their noses brush. His eyes were filled with l.u.s.t, making her take in a deep, shaky breath. "But you know what? You're so s.e.xy when you're all bubbly and drunk." He chuckled.
He gave her a deep kiss, way too inappropriate for people who were standing in front of the elevator. Neither of them cared, though. When they broke apart, they were both breathless. His palm pressed to her cheeks as he muttered a goodnight.
She echoed the same, feeling dizzy, her heart racing a mile a minute.
She stumbled into the elevator, breathless and still recollecting what had transpired. She was drunk. Damn, she was drunk out of her mind. But she had not had enough alcohol to make her feel this way. It was him. It must be him.
She smiled goofily and went back to her room in a romantic daze.

Katherine pulled her hair up in a bun and checked herself out in the mirror. She pulled her laptop in front of her and checked the camera setup.
"Hello there," she said, giving her best smile. "God, I hope I am recording." She checked once and then sat back. "I'm going to keep that in the video, because I overshare everything on the internet."
"So, today is the last day of the convention and it has been an amazing experience. I met some of the best creators in the gaming genre whose names I can't say because I have some surprise content coming for you. But what do you all concentrate on? Ah, not the convention that you made me come to. No." She paused, dramatically rolling her eyes.
"Your tweets, Instagram DMs and LINKEDIN. WHO TAGGED ME ON LINKEDIN?" She glared at the camera. "Well, you kept asking me about my date and about this guy."
"Okay, fine. I will give in, okay? You guys caught me yesterday at the convention table texting him and yes, we'll be seeing each other again. But remember, don't try to replace me. I don't want any of you stalking me or trying to dig out this guy. He isn't the type who shows himself freely."
"Back to the topic. Today is our third date and I don't know what will happen." Of course she knew what would happen! She had freshly shaved her whole body and ensured that her skin felt baby-soft.
