Friday Romance: Dating In The Teleportation Age (Romance/Sci-Fi) (Part 5 of 5)
“Is it too soon?” said James to his dog.

“Is it too soon?” said James to his dog. “I mean, it’s been a week. Is it too late? It can’t be, right? She wants to come over. Is my place clean? Are you clean? When was your last bath?

He took out his phone and clicked on her contact. “I’m giving her access, pal. I hope you like her.” He texted her to teleport over at their usual time of eight-thirty, and that they could watch a movie instead of the sunset.
At eight-thirty, she appeared in his apartment, dressed just as she would if they’d met up at the cliff-side, with her baggy hoodie and loose fitting sweatpants.
“I like it,” she said. “It feels very, you.” He watched as she cocked her head from side to side while looking at the various paintings on the wall. “I hope your fridge is stocked with Grapefruit Blast.”
“Of course it is. What kind of movie night would it be without it?”
“Hello, Faber,” she said, rubbing his dog’s head. “I’ve heard a lot about you. Now,” she turned to James, “about that movie…”
