10. Be Confident and In Control
Women like men with confidence and drive. Confident men with explorative nature are liked by women as they provide innovations in relationship. Majority of women like to be controlled during sex as well.
Klavier Gavin handed over the money for the flowers in a zombie-like state. This was his last piece of advice from the internet guide. He had to make it count.
He walked away from the stall slowly, roses clutched in his hand, a box of chocolates under his arm. Today was Valentine's Day, his last chance with Ema, and people were staring at him.
"OHMYGOD, it's KLAVIER GAVIN!"
Drat, his disguise of sunglasses and a fedora wasn't working.
While he ran from the surging crowd of rabid fan-girls, he thought about just how he was going to use his confident nature to seduce his little detective.
*Knock Knock*
"Come in Ema!" Klavier called, trying to ignore the butterflies in his stomach (the metaphorical ones of course - who on earth would eat butterflies?).
"Hey Gavin, I've got your reports all here." Ema entered his office, not noticing - or at least, not commenting on - the gifts on his desk. "Catch."
Klavier grabbed them out of the air, chucked them to one side and beckoned to the young woman.
"And I have something for you."
Ema tilted her head to one side, confused, as she walked over to him. He clapped his hands, there was a puff of smoke and he was holding the flowers (feeling very glad that he had paid attention to Trucy's magic tricks).
Ema's mouth opened into a little 'o' of surprise.
"For me?" She squeaked, and upon his prompting she took the roses off him shakily.
"Don't worry about thorns - I got rid of them." He grinned, holding up his cut and bandaged fingers.
"D-Don't be silly. I bet you do this for all the girls. I'm not falling for any tricks Fop." She glared up at him, only to be presented with a huge box of chocolates. "Snackaroonies?"
"Ja. They're a new type of chocolate. It's like Snackoos, but with different flavours and textures. It's not meant to be in shops until next month, but I pulled a few strings."
Ema stared at him in shock. He smirked, playing with his fringe.
"W-Wow." Ema said quietly, and perched her bum on the corner of his desk, looking out of the window, trying to make sense of what was going on. Klavier sat down next to her, and smiled softly.
"Nice day, isn't it?" He looked out at the bright streets.
"Yes." She jumped upon the topic eagerly, glad for an excuse to get away from the awkwardness, and to get back to her usual grumpy self. "Too nice to be stuck inside."
"Let's go outside then." Klavier smiled when Ema looked up quickly.
"Umm…How? We sort of have a job to do Fop! You might not do any work, but I do!"
"Hey, I'M the boss. If I want to give you a day off I will." Klavier raised an eyebrow. "We're going for a walk in the park to enjoy the sun, and I'm not taking no for an answer!"
"…Jerk." Ema mumbled under her breath as they walked out of his office.
The crunch of twigs underfoot and giggles filled the air in the park. Everywhere Ema looked there seemed to be couples having fun, eating picnics, chasing each other around, and strolling arm-in-arm.
She pouted. Valentine's Day sucked.
She grabbed Klavier's arm and led him to the nearest empty bench.
"Right. I want answers. What's all this about? Why have you been acting so weird the last few months? I swear to God you have multiple personality dis-MMPH!"
Klavier cut her off mid-rant by smashing his lips to hers. She jumped and her eyes flew wide open, but the German just carried on kissing her, until she surprised herself by kissing back. She inched closer to him, and he lifted her up into his lap while she twined her fingers into his hair.
He caressed her back with his strong hands, while his tongue flicked past her lips. Ema moaned into his mouth and pressed herself closer to him.
It was unbelievable. Klavier felt like he was on fire. His heart was beating like crazy, his brain was screaming and his whole body was filled with little electric shocks. This was like no other kiss he'd ever experienced.
As they broke apart reluctantly for air, he lowered his face into her trembling neck and kissed her pale throat. He wanted more, so much more, he wanted this moment to last forever, he wanted Ema to be with him always…
And it scared him.
"Ema…" He moaned quietly as she shook silently.
"…Klavier." She answered eventually.
"Was that…the same for you?" He asked, keeping his face hidden in her shoulder.
"I…yes…I…Wait, are you blushing?!"
Klavier looked away, his face getting hotter and hotter.
"Shush Fraulein."
"Oh my God, you are!" She burst out laughing, balanced precariously on his lap. Klavier scowled at her, which just made her laugh even more.
Suddenly, his lips were pressed to hers again, and she soon stopped laughing.
After a few moments he pulled away and smiled cheerily. He pulled the note book with all of his notes from the internet out of his pocket and dropped it into the bin by the bench.
"What was that?" Ema asked huskily, through kiss-bruised lips.
"Just something I won't need anymore." He smiled sexily and Ema grinned right back at him. "Now, where were we?"
