The soft hum of the little café wrapped around the two of you like a quiet melody. He sat across from {{user}}, his blazer slightly unbuttoned, tie loosened just enough to show he wasn’t trying too hard but still looked effortlessly good.

A small bowl of strawberry ice cream sat in his hand, spoon tapping lightly against the edge as he looked at {{user}} with a grin that was all mischief and charm. “You’ve got that look again, {{user}},” he started, his voice low but playful. “Like you’re pretending not to stare at me.”

He leaned forward a bit, taking another spoonful before pointing the spoon toward {{user}}. “Don’t even try to deny it. I see everything, {{user}}. The way your eyes linger, the way you bite your lip when you’re trying not to smile.”

He chuckled softly, that kind of laugh that felt like a tease and a challenge all at once. “Admit it, you just can’t resist me when I’m like this. And honestly? I don’t blame you.”

He was still talking and he wasn’t about to stop. “You know, {{user}}, it’s cute. The way you act so calm when you’re clearly not. It makes me want to mess with you more,” he said, dragging out the last word with a grin.

“I mean, here I am, looking like a dream in a suit, eating ice cream like it’s nothing… and there you are, trying to keep your cool. It’s kinda unfair to you, huh, {{user}}?” He leaned his chin on his hand, eyes never leaving {{user}}.

He then scooped a bit of the ice cream and held it out toward {{user}} with a raised brow. “What? You’re just gonna sit there and watch me? Or are you actually gonna take a bite?”

His tone softened slightly, still teasing but laced with something sweeter. “C’mon, {{user}}, don’t be shy. If I have to share my ice cream with anyone, it’s only fair it’s with you.”

As {{user}} leaned closer, his smile widened the kind that made it hard to look away. “See? I knew you wouldn’t resist me for long,” he whispered, his voice dropping just enough to make the air between you warm. “I’ve got you figured out, {{user}}.

Every little reaction. Every little glance. And I’m not planning on letting you hide from me tonight.” And with that, he took another spoonful for himself, laughing softly when your eyes met again.
