Chapter 19 - First Date

(Just a heads up. I do not write R-18 content. Don't expect it. It will be hinted at but not explicitly written about. Also, sorry for the late release and shortish chapter. I didn't wanna make a chapter with no juice super long and I was super into a conversation I was having while writing it lol. Enjoy <3)

The rest of the day was pretty boring. Tyler contacted the Kuat Drive Yards and placed an initial order on behalf of the Republic Navy. On top of that, he ordered an additional fleet for Limitless with the funds gained from the dungeon. Along with the profits from the mines on Kessel, it was time to acquire one of his target worlds.

Tyler looked around the guild hall for Xander but he was told that he was currently on an ȧssignment for the Jedi Order. He sent him a message to expand the guild hall when he returned.

Fortunately, he was able to find John. "Hey, I got something I need you to handle."

John turned to him. "What needs to be done?"

Tyler smiled. "I want you to take a fleet and some construction materials to Scarif. It is about time that we made an acquisition. Head out immediately."

John perked up. "Oh, that reminds me. One of the ambassadors told me that there are a bunch of investors looking to meet with us. What should I say?"

Tyler grinned. "This is perfect timing. Have the ambassador tell them that I will be meeting with them tomorrow over lunch. They can arrive at the guild hall any time before then. Speaking of ambassadors, I have a date tonight."

John raised his brow. "Do ya now? It's about time you get yourself a woman." He laughed.

Tyler shrugged. "It's not my fault that I'm not as good looking as you are."

John shook his head. "Looks aren't everything my friend. You're quite the smooth talker in case you didn't realize."

Tyler waved his hand and turned to walk away. "Nonsense. Anyways, send some video footage and pictures of some prime real estate on Scarif. I'll need something to show those investors tomorrow."

John laughed. "You just enjoy yourself tonight. I'll handle the operation."

Tyler headed off to his room. He had to clean up before his date. He decided that he would dress up a bit for the meal. Not too much though. It would not look good if he showed up in Jedi robes or the suit he wears to the Senate.

After a nice shower and some personal grooming, he was ready to get dressed. He buŧŧoned up a collared shirt. It was white with red and blue tinted plaid. Over that he put on a cream colored, cashmir, pullover sweater. On his left wrist, he wore a beautiful watch. It was made of brushed beskar steel and had a quartz face. For pants, he wore slim fitting blue slacks with a brown leather belt. To finish it off, he wore brown leather shoes.

He stood in front of the large mirror in his bedroom and was satisfied with his look. Then there was a knock on the door. His suite was empty tonight. His mother was staying with Shmi and she dragged Kai with her to keep him out of the way. Thus, there was only one person the knock could be for.

Excited to meet the beauty that awaited him, he rushed into the kitchen and grabbed a scotch glass. He tossed in a few ice cubes, poured in some 15 year aged whisky, and finished it off with a splash of water.

(Just some knowledge for you guys. There are three main ways to enjoy brown liquor. You can drink it straight, which means that you have it plain with nothing in it. You can have it on the rocks, which means that you have it with some ice cubes. You can also have it with a splash of water, which means that you take a bit of water and put it in with the liquor. I personally use a bunch of ice cubes and a splash of water.)

As he walked over to the door, he took a few deep breaths. 'Calm down Tyler, you can do this. It's just a girl. You have overcome much more difficult things before.'

He lifted his empty hand and pressed the open buŧŧon on the control pad. He put on a cool face as the door slid open. He looked up ready to lay his eyes on his date. Once his vision focused on the person that stood before him, you could definitely say that he was surprised.

Tyler shook his head in confusion. "Who the fuċk are you?"

After saying that a bit loud, he could hear giggling from around the corner that was down the hall. The person that was in front of him was not his date. It was just some random guild member. "I am El Capitan, an elite member of the guid. Vice Guild Leader Napoli sent me to deliver this to you." He held out a small package.

Tyler snatched the package. He glared at El Capitan before closing the door. He walked over to the kitchen and placed down his drink. The package was crudely wrapped and had a winking face drawn on the front. Tyler ripped it open to see what was inside.

He picked up the item and examined it. It was a pack of ċȯndȯms with the words, "Good luck! -J" written on it. 'OH THAT MOTHERFUCKER! I'M SO GONNA BEAT HIS ASS WHEN I SEE HIM NEXT!'

Tyler opened the box and tossed the packaging into the garbage before slipping the ċȯndȯms into his pocket. He then heard another knock at the door. Repeating his last shtick, he grabbed the scotch glass, walked over to the door, put on a cool face, and then opened the door. There was a woman standing there this time.

In a soft and seductive voice she said, "Are you Draco?" Tyler nodded. "Yes I am. Who might you be?"

Again, Tyler heard giggling from the end of the hall. "I was told you wanted to get laid. Are we doing this or what?"

Tyler rolled his eyes and yelled, "JOHN, I SWEAR TO GOD!" He then closed the door furiously. In his rage, the furniture in the room shuddered as a wave of telekinetic energy pulsated out from him.

Hearing the commotion, he quickly calmed down by taking some deep breaths. "Damn, I really gotta control my emotions. Being a Jedi is a pain in the ȧss." He sat down and started sipping his drink. The alcohol helped calm his nerves as the smoky taste rolled over his tongue.

After a few minutes, another knock came from the door. Maybe this time it would actually be who he was waiting for. With his half empty drink, he walked over to the door and opened it up casually.

Standing there was a beautiful, human girl that was the epitome of youth. She had wavy brown hair that dropped down to her upper back. She had hazel eyes and a soft and adorable nose. On her lips was a light gloss that didn't pop too much. She was wearing a cute, textured, midnight blue dress with strings over her shoulders. The color complemented her fair skin perfectly. Finally, she was wearing a pair of cream colored cork wedges with a matching midnight blue strap over her feet.

Tyler was stunned. "Wow."

She giggled. "What's wrong?"

Tyler shook his head slowly. "Oh no, nothing is wrong. You're just that beautiful." He let on a half smile as he looked her in the eye.

She blushed and looked down before glancing upwards to check if he was still looking. "So, Draco, right?"

Tyler shook himself out of his stupor and nodded. "What might your name be?"

She smiled. "I'm Emelia."

Tyler gently smirked and slightly tilted his head upwards. "Wanna come in for a drink before dinner?"

Emelia nodded. Tyler stepped to the side so she could walk in before closing the door behind her. "So what do you like to drink?"

She didn't respond for a moment as she let her eyes wash over his suite. She had never seen something so luxurious before. She then walked over to the island in the kitchen and leaned on the counter.

Tyler smiled and walked into the kitchen. He set his drink down on the other side of the island. "Red or white?"

Emelia tilted her head. "What do you mean?"

Tyler chuckled. "Well, you seem like a wine girl. Would you like red, or white?"

Emelia thought for a moment. "I'm not sure. I want something with a strong flavor but not too bold."

Tyler smiled. "I know just the thing." He opened up the wine cabinet. Inside was an array of bottles of red wine. He pulled out an expensive bottle of merlot.

Grabbing a corkscrew, he flipped out the blade and cut off the foil. He then twisted the screw into the cork and then pulled it out. He turned around and grabbed a red wine glass from the cabinet. He tilted the wine glass to an almost horizontal position. He gripped the wine bottle by the bottom with one hand and poured the glass until it was one third full.

He slid the glass across the counter. "This is a 85 BBY Nabooian Merlot. It is light but has a deep aroma with complex flavor. Smell it a bit and then take a sip." Before he let go of the glass, he gently swirled the wine around in the glass.

She nodded before elegantly picking up the glass. Placing her nose down to the rim of the glass, she took a deep whiff of the aroma. The smell of berries and dark fruits filled her nostrils. She then put the class to her supple lips and took a sip. Allowing the taste to linger in her mouth, she swallowed the wine.

Tyler smiled and looked at her. "How is it?"

Emelia blushed a bit. "It is perfect."

Tyler nodded. "That's what I was going for. So…"

They drank and talked for about an hour before heading up to the rooftop restaurant for dinner. The restaurant on the roof was open from 7am to 11pm. They serve the most extravagant cuisines for each meal. For this reason, it is mostly empty except for a few core members and some visiting politicians.

When they exited the elevator, there was an attendant waiting. He recognized Tyler immediately. "Right this way sir." He guided them to a L-shaped couch with leather cushions in the corner of the roof. It was a chilly night so there were space heaters turned on. In addition, the stone table that was in front of the couch had a gas fire pit in the middle. For what the weather was, it was quite warm.

Tyler took Emelia's hand and helped her to sit down. He then walked around the table and sat down. "Have you ever been up here before?"

She shook her head. "No I haven't, have you?"

Tyler shook his head. "Even though I paid for the whole place, I have not eaten here outside of a catered event. I guess we'll have to explore the menu together." They laughed.

A waiter then came over with a bottle of champagne. Tyler turned to Emelia. "Would you like some champagne?"

She smiled. "That would be wonderful." The waiter nodded and set down the ice bucket. He took out a towel and uncorked the champagne with a pop. He set down two champagne flutes and poured into each glass with precision. Not a single drop was on the side of the glass. It is actually surprising how much practice it takes to be able to do this.

Tyler grabbed his glass and took a sip. He then sat back into the couch. "So, what do you think you wanna try?"

Emelia looked the menu over. "The salmon looks good."

Tyler nodded. "I was told to try the steak. It is supposedly one of the best steaks on Coruscant." He then nodded to the waiter and we headed off to fulfill their orders.

Emelia laughed. "Really now."

Tyler shrugged. "I don't know. Some senator was raving about it after a session." They both laughed. "So you're an ambassador right?"

She nodded. "Yeah, it is interesting. In the real world, I wanted a job where I could work with people. If I'm being honest, I was playing this game because a few of my friends were getting it. I actually ended up dropping out of college after I realized the salary I was getting just from playing this game. It really is like a job though."

Tyler laughed. "What do you do?"

Emelia scoffed. "You're telling me that you pay me and you don't even know what I do?"

Tyler shrugged. "The money may be mine but I honestly don't do much to manage the guild."

She laughed. "I'll tell you what I do if you tell me what you do."

He nodded. "Deal." They both laughed.

She thought for a moment. "Well, a lot of what I do is negotiations."

Tyler raised his brow and let on a soft smile. "Define negotiations."

Emelia giggled. "Dinner parties, banquets, balls, galas, benefits, all things of that sort."

He laughed. "So basically you just go to parties with other representatives."

She shrugged and took a sip of her champagne. "Well, you can put it that way." They made eye contact and broke into laughter. She then poked his shoulder. "Your turn."

He sighed. "Well, I've been to a few of those events myself. Most of what I do is exploring and finding new ways to make money. I see the galaxy as a gold mine that has gone untouched. There are countless opportunities out there, ripe for the taking."

She laughed. "So you just go around having fun. Is that what I'm hearing?"

He shrugged and gave her a teasing look. "Well, you can put it that way."

They both laughed. As they were laughing, she brushed his lower thɨġh with her hand. In response, Tyler inched a bit closer to her on the couch. "So tell me this. What is the most beautiful thing you've seen in this game so far?"

She thought for a moment. "I'd have to say that it was the sunset on Naboo. My friends and I grabbed some drinks and takeout. We walked out of the city and sat down on the edge of the cliff and had our food. By the time we finished eating, we just sat there in silence, enjoying our drunks and the sunset. It was unreal."

Tyler inched a bit closer again. "That sounds almost as beautiful as you."

Emelia blushed. "That was really cheesy." They laughed.

He shrugged and chuckled. "Well, it did its job." At this moment, the waiter returned with their food. The aroma was powerful and hunger inducing.

The first plate was put down in front of Emelia. It was a decently sized portion of grilled salmon on a round dish. It was covered in various herbs and an oily sauce. Then it was topped with an orderve. On the side was some roasted and seasoned potatoes and a scoop of creamy, black, risotto.

The second plate was put down for Tyler. It was a sliced porterhouse steak on an ovular plate. It was propped up on a stand and the juices pooled at the bottom of the plate. It came paired with roasted potatoes in melted cheese, topped with chives and bacon bits.

Tyler was salivating. "This looks delicious."

Emelia nodded. "You could say that again." She took her fork and separated off a piece of salmon. She picked it up with her fork and also scooped a bit of risotto. She delicately took a bite. As she chewed, a joyful expression lit up her face. She finished chewing. "It's so good!"

Tyler smiled and nodded. "I'm glad."

They enjoyed a meal together for a while. At around 10:30pm, they were about to leave. "So, where do you usually stay?"

Emelia started twirling her hair with her finger. "I usually stay in one of the normal member rooms."

Tyler inched closer to her again and smiled. "Would you like to come stay at my place?"

She smiled. "Sure, why not?" They laughed. Tyler stood up and walked around the table. He held his hand out and she grabbed it and stood up. She wrapped around his arm and they walked away.

As they walked away, Tyler took a 100 credit chip and tossed it to the waiter. "That's for you my friend. Thank you." He nodded. "Of course Lord Draco. It was a pŀėȧsurė serving you this evening."

They went to the elevator and rode it down the one floor to his penthouse. They walked down the hall and before they could even make it to the door, she pushed him against the wall and looked him in the eye.

In a flash of mutual passion, they began kissing. Tyler placed his hands on her waist and she lifted up one of her legs. He reached down and lifted her up as they continued kissing. She wrapped her legs around him as he walked down the hall.

Using the force, he opened up the door. Once they made it inside, he used the force again to close the door. She released her lips from his. "Not gonna lie, that was pretty hot." They laughed and she hopped down.

Tyler shrugged. "If I'm being honest, I've wanted to try that haha." She giggled. They stared into each other's eyes for a few seconds. There was an intense, deep passion between them. It felt like something that went beyond ŀust. They truly connected on an emotional level in this one night. They, in the deepest sense of the word, vibed with each other.

He dashed forward and scooped her up. He then carried her like a princess to the bedroom as her face lit up red like a stoplight.

About an hour later, clothing could be seen scattered all over the master bedroom. A beautiful brunette could be seen snuggling up to a lean, blonde man in the bed. She looked up to him. "So, what's your real name?"

Tyler smiled and looked up at the ceiling. "You first."

She giggled. "Alright. My name is Emily. Your turn."

Tyler laughed. "That's a cute name. My name is Tyler."

She nuzzled into his ċhėst. "And that's a hot name." They both laughed. He then took a deep breath and sighed. She looked up at him. "What's wrong?"

He shook his head. "Oh, no. There is nothing wrong. This moment is perfect."

She shifted on top of him and looked him in the eye. "So what is it then?"

He smiled and snatched a kiss. "I was just wondering, what now?"

She laughed and kissed him again. "We can figure that out another time. Let's just enjoy tonight."

He shrugged. "Sounds good to me." He then grabbed the back of her head and pulled her back down into a passionate kiss.
