"Are you sure you're ok with this? I mean she is your mom after all." You glance at Mel who just grins and nods at you, Jayce walking by her side.
"It's quite fine. It's just dinner after all."
"R-Right. Just dinner." You look up ahead where Ambessa is walking away from the gate of the council building. "Ok. Wish me luck."
"Good luck." Jayce gives you a thumb up and one of his more goofy smiles.
You take a deep breath and quickly skip to catch up to the muscular woman. When you finally do catch up she's standing by the fountain, her back turned to you, "Uhm, excuse me, Lady Medarda?"
"Yes?" She turns and looks down at you. Gods she looks even taller up close. "Uhh..." You're struggling to find the words under her gaze, she's slightly intimidating now that you're in front of her. But now up close you notice more scars across her face and arms. Very, very strong looking arms. You hear her grunt, clearly wanting you to just say what you have to say, "Well, your daughter and Councilman Talis told me that you've been enjoying the local cuisine." That got the warlord to raise an eyebrow at you, your heart starting to beat faster and faster, "And well, I was wonder if... if you wanted to go have dinner with me?!" There. You did it.
But she didn't answer. She just looked at you with a teasing glint in her eye and a smile on your lips. It made you fidget in place, jumping slightly from foot to foot like an anxious small animal facing a lioness.
"Actually..." A man suddenly appeared behind her. Where the hell did this pretty guy come from? And why was he here? He was dressed very nicely and had a very pretty face with a cocky smile. He crossed his arms and leaned against Ambessa, "She's already eating me." He winked your way, voice dripping with charm.
"What?" You ask, confusion written all over your face.
"And you're quite the treat." Ambessa gently runs her hand trough the pretty man's hair. Oh. Oh.
Things start to click into place in your head. Then they snap. "No, no! Food! I mean actually food. Not- You're really handsome but we don't even know each other and..." Heat creeps up your neck and across your face. Your eyes dart from Ambessa to the pretty guy quickly, "Sorry!" You shut your eyes, hanging your head in embarrassment.
Ambessa laughs. You feel her hand grasping your chin, tilting it upwards. When you open your eyes, hers are staring right back at you as captivating and fierce as the proud warrior she is, "You said my daughter and Talis told you this?" You gulp and nod, not trusting yourself to speak. She hums, "They seemed to gave given you the wrong idea then." Your eyes look to the side.
Ambessa looks over your shoulder and you hear laughter coming from behind you. When you turn around you see Mel and Jayce snickering. You narrow your eyes at them. Mel mouths a small "Sorry." Somehow you get the feeling she enjoyed making you squirm. A trait she must have picked up from her mother.
You feel your face pulled back to look up at the warlord, "However, it takes courage to ask me to dinner. You've got some guts little one. I like that in people." You feel her run a thumb over your cheek and you have to bite the inside of your mouth to keep yourself from moaning. Ambessa's smirk deepens, "I accept. I could go for some food actually."
You blink a few times, "Punch me." You choke out.
"Kinky." The pretty man chuckles.
"Wait no, no. I just thought I was dreaming or something." You take a little step back, and clear your throat, "I would love to take you to dinner Lady Medarda. Thank you."
"Can I tag along? I never refuse a good meal." The pretty man chimes in, swooping to your side. "And I do mean food this time." He winks again. Damn he's charming.
You sigh, "Sure." He smirks and pumps a fist into the air in victory.
When you look back at Ambessa she's just watching the interaction with amusement, her eyes shamelessly running over your body, "Shall we?"
"Of course. Follow me please." You offer her your arm and she takes it, her grip firm and slightly possessive, but gentle at the same time. You notice the pretty man do the same thing. He grins at her then at you, Ambessa snickers and shakes her head.
This certainly didn't go the way you planned but somehow you think that it might have ended up being even better.
