Robin invited Daniel back to her apartment, it was a modest but well furnished apartment and certainly inside nothing was tacky. Robin wanted to get to know Daniel a little more and see what her client saw in him. That and she believed a good business relationship was built upon a good personal relationship, and so far Daniel had been nice but Robin wanted to know what besides professional wrestling made the man tick. Robin turned on the coffee maker she felt was much better than instant, and often gave a better caffeine hit too which a busy life needed.
How do you like your coffee Daniel?
A very important question to start building a relationship on she thought. |

As Daniel was invited back to the apartment, he looked around for a moment as Robin headed to the coffee maker. Very nice apartment she had that was for sure. He turned towards her as she asked him a question. It didn’t take long for him to respond as he smiled momentarily.
“Black is fine, thanks.”
He placed his hands in his jean pockets for a moment as he paused in speaking. He then looked around the apartment again before he spoke up another time for a second, towards Robin.
“I have to say, it’s a nice place that you’ve got yourself here Robin...” [/color][/center] |

Robin smiled as she brought Daniel his coffee, then she responded as she lead him to the living area.
Thank you, I collect bits at a time and now it looks well together. Glad you like it.Robin sat down and place her cup down on the table, she waited for Daniel to seat himself. Robin removed her glasses as they were beginning to make her eyes hurt, she was kind of lazy in taking them off and wore them probably more than she should. Or maybe it was to make her appear smarter so people would take her more seriously given that she was a pretty blonde? Well she reached under the table which was where she kept the cookie jar, she didn't eat many but she felt it was a hospitable thing to have to offer guests
Would you like a cookie?Robin said as she extended the jar out to Daniel. So what kind of music do you like you can see my collection over there is rather modest.Robin pointed over to a rack with maybe 30 CD's in it, mostly French artists but there was a few that Daniel would recognize namely Celine Dion but not necessarily like  . |

As he sits down on the couch, Daniel looks at Robin as she removes her glasses, and he looks into her eyes for a moment. It had been the first time that Daniel had seen Robin without her glasses on face to face and she looked beautiful... He smiles as he continues to look into her eyes before he looks at the cookie jar. He wasn’t that much of a cookie guy but a cookie sounded pretty good right now along with his coffee. He sips at the coffee as he looks at Robin and responds.
“I’d love one.”
Daniel then reaches and grabs one out of the jar, keeping the smile still on his face. He then looks over at the CD rack and nods his head. He wasn’t a stranger to french artists but he didn’t listen to it regularly. He then looks back at Robin and then speaks up again.
“What kind of music do I like? That’s hard to say actually, haha. I don’t really have a favorite kind of music, but more when I hear a song I like, I’ll end up listening to it a lot. I know, weird right?”
Daniel laughs as he takes another sip of his coffee, before taking a bite of the cookie afterwards as he awaits for Robin’s response. |

Robin could understand that, radios were more common and most people listened to them and with the MP3 music was accessible wherever and whenever you wanted. Robin was the proud owner of a pastel pink iPod though it had her entire CD collection on it and some more recent songs too, she listened to the radio a lot in the car.
Yes I can understand that, I like a lot of songs and it's nice to have someone else make the play list once and a while.
Robin then thought about what to ask next, she wanted to not sound like she was interrogating him because she wasn't.
So what do you like to do in your spare time? |

Daniel sits up for a moment as he takes another sip of the coffee that was quite good, he may say. He then takes another bit of the cookie and waits a few moments before looking towards Robin before he then begins to speak up towards her for a moment.
“In my spare time? Well mostly I spend my time at the gym during the week, but when I’m not at the gym I like to hang out at home, maybe read once in a while and hit the town some nights as well...”
Daniel passes his hand through his hair as he smiles and then begins to speak up once more towards Robin and clears his throat before speaking up.
“But what about you Robin? What’s a smart lady like yourself like to do in your spare time?” |

Robin smiled as her life was mostly driven toward work like Daniel's really only she spent a little less time in the gym and more time in the office. Robin worked long hours not because she had too but more because she liked to be busy, she was perhaps a little nerdy in that respect. In her spare time she checked on her investments, and those of her clients funny how her clients were so much better than hers.
Me? I tend to just relax more at home, I don't really have many friends to be honest. Probably because I am a how you say? Slave to the system?
Robin would like to be more outgoing she certainly didn't lack the confidence, she just seemed to not make or get many opportunities in her personal life. Though this meeting with Daniel was a great start as she glanced into his eyes, they were indeed gorgeous and Robin liked his hair. She smiled before taking another sip of coffee.
Maybe one night you'll have to show me the town. |

As Daniel nodded along to what Robin was saying, he adjusted himself on the sofa as he kept the coffee in his right hand. He then rubbed his chin, while he continued to look at Robin, with the smile still not being removed off of his face. He then spoke up once again towards Robin. It was nice to be able to talk to someone without being judged for the whole situation that was going on with Justice and the fact that he was accused of murder. He really liked getting to know Robin better.
“Not many friends huh? Well the same goes for me as well actually. Never really take the time to make friends I guess, haha. But hey, aside from the fact that I was accused of murder, life is pretty good right now.”
Show her the town? There’s nothing he’d love more than to do that. He nodded at Robin as he placed his cup of coffee down on the table before he then spoke up again.
“Show you the town? That sounds like a great idea... I’d love to show you around sometime.” [/color][/center] |

Robin smiled as she and Daniel seemed to be getting on great, sipping her coffee again she wondered if maybe something stronger would be a better idea. It had been quite a day and she was sure Daniel could probably use some unwinding given his situation. Robin slowly stood up and moved to her drinks cabinet, and she reached inside and pulled out some Hennassey that a friend had bought her but she was yet to try it and two glasses then she returned to her seat. Placing the bottle on the table and the glasses next to it.
Would you like to join me in a stronger drink, I think it would be nice to unwind a little.
Robin smiled before picking up the bottle and attempting to open it, she wasn't very good at opening bottles at all. |

Daniel smiled. A stronger drink would be great just about now. He looked at Robin who had the bottle in his hand and as he pushed his coffee cup to the side, he spoke once again.
“Sure, I’d love a stronger drink just about now.”
He then looked at Robin as she was opening the bottle. She seemed to be struggling a little as these bottles were always a pain to open, so he figured he’d offer to help her out with that.
“Would you like a little help with that Robin?”
Daniel extended his hand as she smiled and passed the bottle over to him. He then proceeded to open the bottle after about two tries. He then pours some of the Hennassey into the glasses, and places the bottle on the table before he handed one of the glasses to her and took one himself. Daniel also figured that right now would be a good time for a toast... He placed his glass up and looked at Robin as he smiled.
“Here’s to us and a healthy business relationship.” |

Robin smiled as she raised her glass and then the clinking of glasses occured.
Indeed to us, and may we achieve our goals.
Robin then took a sip of her drink it was rather nice and she enjoyed it, and was enjoying Daniels company. Then the two of them had a few more drinks and a couple of hours later after more talking, exchanging of stories and jokes. Robin then thought maybe it was time for some dinner, however Robin thought that maybe Daniel would join her as it would beat a meal for one by far.
I don't supposed you like to join me for dinner, we could go out or I could have something delivered to us.
Robin smiled she was hoping Daniel would say yes because she didn't want to have another lonely night. |

A dinner invite? Sounded like a great idea. After all, Daniel had a few drinks packed in him by now and it’d be good to get some food in his stomach. He looks at Robin and he smiles before responding to her dinner invitation.
“Dinner? That sounds great to me Robin. I’d love to join you for dinner.”
He really did enjoy the company of Robin. The two seemed to get along quite well. Daniel then spoke up once more.
“I’m up for anything really. What would you like for dinner Robin?” |

Robin smiled as she thought of the perfect place to order from, there was a nice Chinese place around the corner from her apartment and it served her well sometimes, open late at night suited her lifestyle though she'd have to pay the price in the gym afterward. Robin picked up the menu from under the coffee table it was almost the anything drawer. Robin handed it to Daniel hoping that he'd find something he liked.
The Spring rolls are good there, but I might try something new. |

Chinese food? That sounded great. Daniel holds the menu in his hands as he looks at it and nods his head. Lots of choices to choose from and they all seemed to sound good at this time. He then looks at Robin and smiles before he then speaks up.
“Chinese sounds great. Spring rolls? I’m all for ‘em if you are,”
He smiles as he looks at Robin before looking at the menu yet again before he placed it back on the table towards him momentarily. |

Robin phoned in the order and it took about a fifteen minutes before it arrived, she order a few things and some extra just in case better to have left-overs than to not have enough and she knew wrestlers ate a lot because they had active lifestyles and needed to maintain high energy levels, not that Chinese was the best food for that but she'd rather Daniel be full than still be hungry. The food arrived and they both enjoyed it, there was some left over but Robin was satisfied and she believed Daniel was. Looking at the clock she noticed that it was getting late she wasn't sure if Daniel wanted to get going or not.
This has been a good evening, I have enjoyed the company. I think it is perhaps time to retire.
Robin then thought that maybe it wasn't wise for Daniel to drive home after drinking, after all she didn't want to read about a car accident that could have been saved by a cab or a guest bedroom.
It is probably too late for a cab unless you want to pay too much, I have a guest room that you can stay in if you'd like? |
