Our Second Date

The glee on his face from winning was a bit contagious. I could not help but smile as well. The group that invited us to play were a bit unnerved and packed up. After they had left, Oswin looked at me. He asked "Do you want to play some more? We haven't been on opposite teams yet." I shrugged my shoulders. I did not care either way. I could see that he really enjoyed the game. Oswin had never even heard of handball before this. "If you want to play another round, I can give you one." I said. He simply nodded with enthusiasm. Oswin was playing to win. Not trying at all would be disrespectful to the effort he was putting in. Even so, I did not actually like handball all that much. At the end of the match, Oswin won but not by all that much. He looked really pleased with himself. "I won. I think I deserve a big reward." he said to me. His chest was puffed out. I could even think he let himself grow a couple of inches. Smiling, I said "That's true. I'll make sure to think of something really nice." We then continued to walk around the perimeter of the park. One lap was what I really needed after that. Until the match, I was totally fine with exploring all over with Oswin. Now, I just wanted to take it easy. We got halfway through our lap when we reached the main plaza in the park. It was a place for people to sit and marvel. You could see a bit of the town from this area. There was also a small food court for those who were very hungry or thirsty. As it was a park attraction, the prices were all inflated. I had near infinite money on me, so I did not care. If I ever ran out, Brett or Paul would bring me back up to the max amount again. Going inside a cafe, I ordered a fresh cappuccino and muffin for Oswin. Before he could say anything, I paid for it. He frowned. Oswin looked pretty surprised. When I passed it to him, he thought that it was for me. "This is your reward for winning at handball. You need to keep your energy up, so I hope this is to your liking." I said. He took it and thanked me. When he was done, we left. There was another AEP unit sitting there. When he saw us, he looked at us blankly. I looked back at him in return. He sat there for a bit more before getting up and walking to us.
