We had been chatting online for a while before finally setting up our first face-to-face meeting. The excitement was palpable as we arranged to meet in the bustling city center with plans to head to a nearby restaurant.

As we exchanged greetings, our stroll through the vibrant streets took an unexpected turn. Just minutes into our rendezvous, we passed by a high-end shoe display. Suddenly, she threw out a playful yet surprising request: “Are you going to buy me those?” At first, I chuckled, thinking it was a jest, but her persistence caught me off guard. “If you buy me those, it would show you’re serious and make me incredibly happy,” she added with a glint of mischief in her eyes.

Caught off guard but intrigued, I agreed to her whimsical request, asking her to wait outside while I made the purchase. Sneaking into the store, I swiftly exited through another door, making a clean getaway to my car. The adrenaline rush of the unexpected twist left me both exhilarated and amused as I pondered what other surprises lay ahead in our budding connection.
