Feminine Persuasion

"Sounds great, but I'd hate to put you through so much trouble just for me."

"Nonsense, I was going to cook anyways for myself, and I don't have company that often. Plus it would be a great way to get to know one another. What do you say?"

"I'd say yes, just as long as I can help you."

"Deal!"

We cooked some spaghetti, bread and salad, followed up with some white wine and some chocolate ice-cream afterwards. We talked and ate, and then I even helped her with the dishes and the trash. I found out that she had moved to LA from Kansas to try to act and didn't really know anyone. She said where she was from; people helped each other and cared for their neighbors, family and friends. I ended up staying over until late into the morning. I told her how I would like to meet someone new but I didn't think that I was ready. She said that she would like to help me as long as I was willing. The only catch was that we had to get to know one another better.

After that night, we started to hang out a lot. We would go out for coffee, go to the store together, cook for each other, watch movies, and just stay up and talk. This became the norm for us. All the while she would give me small pointers on how to help my self. Before I met her, my place was a disaster. She came in and helped me clean up and even went to the store with me as a bought a few things for my place to keep it looking clean and more organized. I began washing my clothes more often, and taking better care of my self, but I was still hairy and fat by my standards. Ann said she would help with this too.

One night at her place, we were watching some movies we had rented. I was sitting on the floor in front of her and she sat on her couch. She was running her fingers through my hair and kept saying how soft and pretty it was. As I guy, I didn't know what to say to the except for "thanks." Ann then went on to say that I had some split ends and that she could cut them off and also try to get my hair a little neater looking. I didn't care at that moment, as I was very into the movie that was on.
