Interesting Conversationalist

d. Freak out and run at the last minute.
This was the part he'd been dreading the most. He'd been thinking about it the whole time he'd been walking back, hands shoved into his pockets, his skin oddly warm where her body was DEFINITELY TOO CLOSE to his. Yeah, he was glad he hadn't worn leather. Surprisingly, with the exception of the first... half an hour or so... he'd been startled at how not-nervous he'd been for most of the 'date.' But, like most times in his poor, insignificant life, Murphy's Law decided to come bite him in the a** at the last second.
Walking her all the way to her door, it was at that very moment that he felt his entire body start to freeze up as she stared at him from beneath (deliciously long) eyelashes. Oh hell. This was it. He could see her pout her lips a bit, ready for the kiss she knew he wanted, almost turned up in a laugh. Shifting a bit, suddenly hella-nervous, he started to lean in to kiss her cheek (just as much out of nerves as for Lilith right now)...
... and then bolted.
As he ran, Steve couldn't help but think back on the night, pondering over how it went as his body slowly turned to jelly as he started to relax. It was probably best, in the end, that he hadn't kissed her... for all he knew, her FEAR could have been to seduce people (he remembered the theatre girl) into submission, which as... mostly awesome as that sounded, was probably not conductive to him winning against all seven avarice demons. As for the rest of the date, his wallet screamed in agony, but inside he felt triumphant -- despite the urge to do irrational things (like wear leather, hells bells) he had kept his head in spite of her amazing good looks. He'd even surprised her a few times... he thought.
Dating Impossible -- COMPLETE.

The drive back to Lust's place was quiet, which was good. Steve had some thinking to do. How had it all gone? It felt to him like it went fairly well as far as dates go. He hadn't tread on her feet, scuffed her shoes, or spilled anything on her. All good points to consider. He was still trying to figure out of the 'footsie' at the restaurant had been playful teasing or if she had been kicking him. Well, he'd figure it out by the time they reached her door, surely. Right?
Pulling up in front of her house, Steve swallowed as he stepped out of the car and let her out. The walk up to the door made him feel like he was walking through quicksand. Was that his footsteps or was that his heart hammering anxiously in his ears? Huh...
"Uh, yeah...Good night..." He glanced around before putting a hand on her elbow and kissing her cheek and then leaning over to kiss the other as well. Close too. The tip of his nose brushed hers. Graah! Bad! Lilith! Bad, Steve! No! He straightened up and dipped his head. "Good night," He muttered again and cleared his throat before he walked quickly back to his buddy's car. Coffee and a cold shower were sounding excellent for when he got home. Steve gave one last, half-wave before slipping into the car and pulling away. He heaved a heavy sigh and drove off.

B. Smooch her on the cheek, since it's expected.
Still distracted over the check and her hazily suggestive glances, Steve almost missed the turn off. By the time they were on her front porch, he was already half-expecting the question, even if it was still a surprise to hear. Huh. It almost sounded like she was inviting something. Which, her being the epitome of physical desire and all, she probably was. Wiping his hands down the front of his pants, he considered all of his options, whether or not this battling thing was even necessary when she'd been so available all night. Was Lilith nearly this- he stopped, a thrill of discomfort seizing him. Lilith. Right. He'd been so caught up in this whole not-date that he was having a hard time remembering why Lust had wanted his head in the first place. Guiltily, he leaned forward, warm breath across her lips until he turned and pecked her on the cheek instead. "I had-" He stopped, remembering that that was what the woman was supposed to say. "I hope you had a good night." He finished, leaning away and giving a lame little wave before heading back to his ride.

THE END!The smothered laughter in her expression gave way to a genuine laugh as Steve retreated from her stoop. She made her way inside, heels again tapping out a sharp rhythm against the floor as she went. "Good luck with Lilith, sugar." GAME OVER! OOC NOTE: Due to some of the awesome RP/comments/stuff you guys did…judging is going to take a little bit longer than anticipated, so please be patient, it might take a day or two!
