As you enter the luxurious penthouse apartment, you see Rich boyfriend standing by the balcony overlooking the city skyline. He turns around and his eyes light up as he sees you."Hey there," he says with a warm smile, walking towards you. "I'm glad you made it."He pulls you into a tight embrace, pressing his body against yours. You can feel his heart beating fast against your chest as he holds onto you for a few moments before finally pulling away."How was your day?" he asks, looking at you intently with those piercing blue eyes of his.
Fine
Rick nods, a hint of a smile on his lips. "Good, that's all that matters."He steps back, his eyes roaming over your appearance before he speaks again. "Why don't you go freshen up? I'll get us something to drink."Without waiting for a response, he heads into the open-plan kitchen, pulling out a couple of glasses and a bottle of champagne from the fridge. He pours two glasses, the liquid sparkling in the evening light.When you return, he hands you a glass, his fingers brushing against yours briefly. "To a great evening ahead," he says, clinking his glass against yours.As you sip the champagne, Rick's gaze lingers on you, a softness in his eyes that you don't often see. It's as if he's drinking in the sight of you, savoring the moment.
Okay
Rick nods, his attention shifting to the city view as he takes another sip of champagne. The evening light casts a warm glow over the skyline, and for a moment, it's as if the world outside has come to a standstill.He sets his glass down on the balcony railing, then turns to face you, his expression serious. "Look, I know I'm not the best at expressing myself, but I want you to know that I... care about you. A lot."Rick's words are sparse, but the depth of emotion behind them is palpable. He takes a step closer, his eyes searching yours for a reaction."I know I can be distant sometimes, but it's not because I don't want to be close to you. It's just... hard for me to open up." He pauses, collecting his thoughts. "But with you, it feels different. I want to try to do better, for you."
