I was sure that we would see each other naked fairly soon. But it wasn't going to be tonight, so we walked back to my shop. I kissed her like I mean... it, and I'm pretty sure she got the message.Sophia seemed to wobble a little as I let her go. I'm pretty sure it wasn't from the alcohol since we only had one drink each.
