Chapter 880 Chapter 880 A Game of Hearts
The date amongst family members ended on that exciting note. Our bored gamer's mom and dad in this world left with big smiles on their faces but the same could not be said to him at all.
Picking the perfect girl would be a hard quest to complete indeed.
"Now where should i start?"
"Not in my work place."
"Not at clubs too i guess."
"So where else?" Clark mused long and deep but found no solution to his predicament.
It would have been good if he could still read minds like before because this would be an easy way in finding candidates left and right.
Alas, his teleportation magic could only branch in so many ways but mind reading. So he could only play it safe and follow what normal mortals did in their adventure for romance.
Our avid gamer picked up his phone, looked through the most popular social media in the planet, and scanned for girls near him at the moment.
"Okay then, let me start with you." Clark said after 30 minutes of devouring profiles in the net.
It was within this time frame that he got to know somebody that could pass his almost nigh impossible standards in getting a wife.
He clicked the message icon and began typing an introductory series of words. It began with a hi and ended with a cute smiley.
The time tonight was only near 11 pm so most adults were still up and rocking. At least this was an experienced guess done by our very own protagonist.
"DING!" A message notification sounded which dragged on a short message that read:
"Hi." And that was where it all started. This ordinary acquaintance turned deeper as the days went by. The two immediately found out that they had many things in common.
Our good gamer knew how to entertain a lady well and this game was nothing but child's play for an old soul like him. The key was timing above all else.
"Do you want to try the best method of exercise after eating?" Clark asked. His eyes full of intrigue and mischief.
"I'm afraid that i don't want to hear the answer to that." Aubrey played hard to get.
"It's your loss then. I could now see you get fat and ugly in time and you will forever look back on this very moment, thinking to yourself on how your life could have turned out differently if only you were able to get the secrets behind this miracle exercise."
Our bored gamer shrugged.
"Okay, okay. Spill. You don't have to curse me that badly, Harris."
Aubrey laughed one more time that she could already feel her jaw getting tired from the endless source of mirth inside the humorous mind of her handsome date.
And she got to know the trick almost 30 minutes forward into the future.
"SPLASH!"
"SPLASH!" Two bodies submerged into the cool waters and this would be the start of a hot tryst that would last over the years.
"Have you really had no girlfriend in the past yet, Harris?" Aubrey asked while she enjoyed the company of her date in the waters alone.
Clark reserved this swimming pool for the two of them alone. This was as private as anything could get.
"Nope. My life rotated around school then work and nothing more. Perhaps avoiding the super heroes and super villains would be another thing i did well.
I guess i was lucky since i survived this long." Clark replied and sighed deeply. Nevertheless, it was obvious that he was successful in diverting the topic in the end.
"Yeah. Some of them are indeed crazy." Aubrey laughed. The last echoes of her laughter died down and there was an awkward silence that came next between them.
Our bored gamer was of course not a slow to capitalize on this chance. He took one step closer to his target and went in for the kill.
"Hmmm..." A moment later and a kiss was shared in silence.
