Ring of Trust

"No No Helen...you deserve to have someone care about you..after all...we're suppose to be like Amazonian sister's...right?"

Christina smiled and chuckled...trying to lighten the mood as she embraced Helen quite a little longer.
Once Helen parted from the hug, Helen would inform Christina that she needed some time while also telling Christina that she was free to do whatever makes her feel happy, on the condition that Helen and Alexios are not to see each other.

"I understand Helen...just please take care of yourself...I hate to see a friend get so hurt because of me."

Christina would place a hand on Helen's shoulder as reassurance before the two ladies would part ways...for now...

Sometime later:

Alexios was in a rush. Normally he operated on Greek time and was late to everything. He sorely regretted that habit today. Alexios had put on a sleek button down shirt fitting for a night club.

The Greek had told Christina to get ready in the early afternoon, as he had something special in mind for their date tonight. He texted her,
“Let me know when you’re here.”
While normally he would pick her up, Christina told him he wasn’t allowed to come around since she was rooming with Helen.

[Weonna]

After having the talk with Helen and getting her approval to go out with Alexios, Christina was already dressed to go out on a date.

Spoiler

Christina always likes to arrive early as expected as she was very eager to see Alexios again. As Christina gets a quick Uber ride she would arrive at Alexios's place and began texting him that she should be arriving soon.

Christina would smile as she made it to Alexios's doorstep awaiting for her date to come out.

Once Alexios would open the door he would be greeted with a warm smile and a twinkle in Christina's eyes.

"Hi, Alexios,"

she said, feeling a rush of excitement.

"I'm so glad to see you again."

[ScylliasExoter]

Alexios opened the door and momentarily forgot himself upon seeing Christina. One could say his jaw even dropped.
“Wow… you look stunning,” he gushed.
“Come on in, I’m almost ready. Wow you’re very beautiful… and very on time…”
Alexios frantically began applying his cologne and hair gel that he had hoped he had time to do while Christina was Ubering over. He silently cursed the Uber for being quick and prompt.
“I got our tickets on the counter! Fortunately the train station isn’t far.”
He finished up early with his hair and came out of the bathroom.
”Wow. I really love your outfit!”
He leaned in, indicating he wanted to kiss her.

As soon as Alexios opened the door for Christina, the Filipina was complemented by him as Christina widely smiled and said,

"Thank you, guwapo~"

Christina would enter inside Alexios's Home where he gushed over how beautiful and early Christina is.

"Yeah I know I'm early Alexios. It's a habit for me to come on time 10 minutes early. I hope I didn't make you wait too long,"

Christina said, her voice warm with sincerity. While Alexios was doing some last minute hegine, he would tell Christina about the tickets for the place they were going while also complimenting on Christina's outfit. When he leaned in, Christina could tell he wanted a kiss as the Filipina would suprize him by cupping his face and giving him exactly what he wanted...a deep and passionate kiss.Their lips met in a moment of shared desire, and time seemed to stand still as they embraced the warmth of the kiss. Christina could feel the genuine connection between them, and as they pulled away, she looked into Alexios's eyes, feeling a rush of emotions.

[ScylliasExoter]

Alexios gave her a quick but passionate kiss. His face felt on fire (in a good way). His breath quickened as he started into her beautiful eyes. He wanted to kiss her again, and again, and again. But he held himself back. They had a reservation to keep.
"I'd love to keep going, but if we don't stop now, we won't make our train."
Alexios hurried back into the bathroom to finish up with his hair. He finished spraying and combing it and came out.
"That's... great that you're always on time. I'm... usually not... It's just Greek time. We will make our train though. I booked our tickets for earlier than needed to get to the reservation in Kyoto. We can walk around until it's time to eat. Alright. I'm ready." he smiled.
He leaned in for one more peck on her lips. Just a taste, lest he lose himself.

[Weonna]

Christina's heart fluttered as Alexios leaned in for another tender kiss, and she savored the moment before they headed out for their evening together. The anticipation of the night ahead combined with the sweetness of the kiss filled her with a sense of joy and excitement.

"Let's go then,"

Christina said with a smile, feeling grateful for the chance to spend time with Alexios. As they left the house and made their way to the train station, they shared stories, laughed, and reveled in each other's company.

[ScylliasExoter]

While it would have been easy to make out the whole way, Alexios found talking with Christina equally enjoyable. Alexios told her of stories from his Olympic days. And he listened with rapt attention to her BJJ stories. The trip flew by and they found themselves in Kyoto earlier than anticipated. Alexios had planned for that possibility and had them go to the Kyoto Gyoen National Garden to walk around until it was time for dinner. He offered her his arm as the two went into the park. "So why pro wrestling? I get it that grappling is in your blood. But how'd you make your way here specifically?"

[Weonna]

As they strolled through the serene beauty of Kyoto Gyoen National Garden, Christina linked her arm with Alexios's, savoring the tranquility of the surroundings and the closeness she felt with him. The gentle rustle of leaves and the soft sound of their footsteps provided the perfect backdrop for their conversation.

"Well, you see,"

Christina began, her eyes sparkling with the memory,

"I've always been passionate about grappling and martial arts. I love the physical and mental aspects of it. But traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitions can be a bit slow and technical to watch for some people."

She paused, a smile playing on her lips as she continued,

"One day, my brother introduced me to Pro-Wrestling through the tv back when i was competing in bjj tournaments. I was captivated by the athleticism, the storytelling, and the larger-than-life characters. It was like nothing I'd ever seen before. I was drawn to the spectacle, the drama, and the entertainment aspect of it all. I realized that pro wrestling was the perfect blend of athleticism and performance, and I knew that's where I wanted to channel my passion for grappling."

As they continued their leisurely walk through the garden, Christina shared her journey into the world of professional wrestling, recounting the challenges and triumphs that had brought her to where she was today. And as she spoke, she felt a sense of connection and understanding with Alexios, grateful for the opportunity to share her story with someone who truly listened and appreciated her path.

[ScylliasExoter]

Alexios felt well and truly relaxed with Christina. Something he never did with Helen. She was an interesting person with an interesting story. He felt safe and calm with her. Yet he had no doubt that were they to remove all inhibitions, their passion would rise like a blaze.

When the time came, he guided her out of the park to the restaurant. He hadn’t told yer where they were going. He closed her eyes as they approached. Once there, he opened them and she saw they were going to Menbakaichidai, the fire ramen restaurant.
