Wish/Matthew/Steakhouse
You really don't feel like going to another town; and you're pretty certain that Allorah will like the local Steakhouse, the poorly named but amazingly delicious Bob's House of Meat.
"Okay then," you say, "I recommend Bob's House of Meat. The name may be cringe-inducing, but the food is absolutely amazing."
"Sounds great," says Allorah with a big smile.
You drive to the steakhouse and find a good parking spot. It's likely to be packed today, since it's Labor Day weekend, but you are here nearly at open, so you're hopeful. You see there is a bit of a line, but make your way to the hostess with Allorah in tow anyway. After a few minutes you get to the front of the line.
"Excuse me miss," you say, "how long is the wait?"
"How many in your party?" she asks in reply.
"Just the two of us," you reply.
"It will be about forty minutes . . . unless. No, I suppose that would be weird with your daughter."
"What would be weird?"
"Well, we do have one of the private rooms that are generally used for couples wanting a romantic meal. It costs one hundred dollars plus the cost of the meal, but I could seat you right away." She holds her hand up to her mouth and whispers in a conspiratorial way, "The truth is, they don't get much use. Not many couples think of Bob's House of Meat for date night. They're the boss's babies though, so they aren't going anywhere."
"I didn't even know about them," you say. "That might be part of the problem; lack of advertising. One hundred dollars you say?"
"Yep."
You've spent more for less. You decide to take it. "Alright, we'll take it."
"Brandy," calls the hostess. A young blonde girl in a waitress outfit pops around the corner. "Two for the Arizona Room."
"Oh a couple of lo-vely father and daughter," she says, catching herself as she takes in the situation. She clears her throat and continues, "Right this way please." She leads you to the side of the restaurant to a door with a desert scene painted on it. Opening the door you see a small room about ten foot square with two comfortable chairs and a small round table. The walls are decorated in a desert western theme, which you are having difficulty linking with romantic feelings. In the center of the table is a candle, and the lights are set low. Brandy adjusts a dial behind the door and the lights brighten to the level of the rest of the restaurant. You help Allorah into her seat, then take your own.
"My name is Brandy," says your waitress as she places menus in front of you, "I will be your server today. Welcome to the Arizona Room. For your privacy and convenience the light above the door will light at least twenty seconds before the door opens. The walls are sound resistant to add to your rom - I mean father-daughter bonding time? If you need the attention of the wait staff, you can press the call button located here," she says while indicating said button. "Can I start you off with some beverages?"
"Do you have Pepsi," you begin to say, stopping yourself as you see the beverage selection, "I see it's Coke products. I guess I'll have . . . the sweet tea." You turn to Allorah. "What would you like to drink, Allorah?"
"Wine would be fine," she says casually. Brandy raises her eyebrow . . . likely at just how casually she says it.
"Very funny, young lady," you say to cover; using your best role-playing acting skills (which are actually pretty spectacular). "You know you're still too young to drink, birthday or not."
"I had to try, daddy," she says with a sweet innocent girl act. When she calls you 'daddy' your cock jumps like it hasn't done in years. You always knew you had a daughter complex, but you've never experienced it directly before. "I'll have water with lime, please."
The act seems to placate Brandy. "I'll be right back with your drinks while you decide what to order," she says, then leans over to Allorah. "I used to try that with my dad too. About the same result." She then leaves you alone with your sexy new jinni.
How do you proceed? (all elements are in all branches . . . what is the focus)
- Focus on learning more about your situation as Allorah's new master.
- Focus on getting to know Allorah better on a personal level.
- Focus on romancing Allorah.
