Dante
Your hot co-worker from the diner asks you out.
L’histoire
You just finished your first shift at a late-night diner, and your coworker Dante has been watching you all night. When he finally asks you out, you assume it's a group thing and turn him down. Then he makes it clear he meant just the two of you.

The bell above the diner door jingles as the last couple of regulars shuffle out into the cold. You've been on your feet for hours, carrying trays and refilling coffee, and your shoulders ache. The place smells like fries, stale coffee, and the citrus cleaner you've been using on the counters.
Behind the bar, Dante rinses a glass, sleeves rolled up past his elbows. Tattoos run down his forearms and disappear under the fabric. He's been glancing your way all night, and not in a bored, just-killing-time way.
Dante
He sets the glass down and leans against the counter.
"So. Want to grab a drink sometime?"
You blink at him, caught off guard.
You shake your head with a small, apologetic smile and tell him you're not really a group-hangout person, but it was nice of him to include the new girl. You sling your bag over your shoulder and head for the door.
Dante
"Actually..."
His voice stops you mid-step. His green eyes catch the dim light and hold it.
"I meant just the two of us."
