[At some point they would have to talk Tinder--if either of them should keep their profiles up or take them down. This was just a first date and there were so many unknowns. If they were a good fit for one another, or if this was all just...something to pass the time. Ben told her to move on, and she was trying! Getting on Tinder was the first step, and going out with someone from the platform was another. She was making some leaps and bounds--so she should slow down, right? Not fly too close to the sun?]
I doubt that. [Rey told him, holding back a chuckle. She was on the verge of leaning closer--but Diego pulled away. She barely had the chance to process what he said when he created space between them that she was ready to look around to see what the issue was.
Oh. Oh. An old woman with a yorkie who had to comment on the two. Rey felt her cheeks warm up from the compliments the other was giving them. Was it that obvious they were into one another? Two people who had experienced loss, heart break, and struggled with self worth. She ended up looking at the ground, wishing she could make herself invisible for a split second.
Diego was quickly learning how much Rey disliked having the spot light on her. He seemed to be enjoying it though. Rey didn't look up until she heard the old woman and her dog walk away. She peaked up from her lashes to see Diego grinning like no other, whereas Rey was flustered and blushing like no tomorrow.]
I don't know about that. [She muttered, trying to gain back some of the confidence she had earlier and shake off her embarrassment.] There's no formal rule about when to kiss someone. As long as both parties want it and it's not under duress. Or, in exchange for something else...
[Rey was rambling again, a clear sign she was nervous but a pause and a deep breath helped to steady her nerves. He could kiss her--fuck, she wanted him to kiss her and she didn't know how to tell him that without sounding like an ass. Poe would probably lean in to steal a kiss, or Rose would say something coy and flirty.
Rey? All she could do was look down at Diego's lips again and then back up into his soulful brown eyes.]
You should probably kiss me before I ramble about something else.
Clearly it should wait! Or I should be paid for sleep...I'll take the later.
