Owen gave her his most charming smile when she complimented him as such. Proof of her good judge in character. A swelling of pride came over him when she granted the information that she was having a good time.
The fingers of the arm draped around her shoulder had started playing with the hairs that brushed his hand. Wrapping his finger around and around her curls before letting it spring off his finger. And the process repeated.
“I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself.” His smile turned to something softer, almost sentimental. “I am too.”
The moment presented itself to him as opportune for a test kiss. Having shared a drink and a couple of dances, any shy hesitation to touch had melted away and now with their closeness in the intimate setting of their booth. The moment was ideal. His fingers moved out of her hair to touch at her jaw, tilting her face upwards at the right angle to kiss. He leaned and captured her lips with his. Just an experimental kiss. Just a taste before he backed away to see if the gesture had been well received.
Owen picked up one of the testers of red wine, he sniffed at it, and looked surprised. “The bouquet on this one, though.” He offered it to her for a sniff and then laughed. “I admit I know nothing about wine. I know about music, but I’d hoped pairing it all with wine would impress upon you how sophisticated I am.” He laughed again before taking a sip of the wine that smelled so good.
“Usually I get a bottle of whatever is cheapest.” He shrugged. “If there’s something you like, let me know, we can get a bottle maybe?” He eyed her trying to convey that the invitation to share a bottle of wine kind of came with a subtle second invitation to share it somewhere more private.
"I live around here and there's a park down the street with a little pond. It's kind of nice to sit by and drink." Hint, hint.
