MK:  “Bette I’m starving, how bout you?”

Bette:  “Oh yes!  You wanna to go a restaurant?”

MK:  “Ahhow bout we go back to my place.”

Bette:  “Ok”

They returned to MK’s penthouse.  Mk had a weird grin on her face.  She opened the door and let Bette walk in.  Bettes mouth fell open as she slowly walked in.  The large all sized window was actually a door.  It was completely open making the entire room feel like it was outside.  The white sheer curtains flapped in the breeze.  There was a table on the large patio with a red table cloth on it and black dished and candles lit.  The building looked like starts in the distant view.

Bette:  She gasps. “MK?  What did you do?”

MK:  “think of it as a little thank you for your help.”

Bette:  “I didn’t do much, it was my pleasure.”

MK:  “Well frankly you deserve it.”

MK said that without looking at Bette.  She was embarrassed talking about her feelings.  She grabbed Bettes hand and led her to the patio/extended living room.  She pulled out a chair instructing Bette to sit down.  She had a bottle of wine on chill.  It was a good type and year.  Being a bar tender MK could tell.  She poured Bette and herself a glass.

MK:  “Be right back.”

MK disappeared into the kitchen and brought out two covered dishes and placed them on the table as she joined Bette. 

Bette:  “I thought you couldn’t cook.  And when did you have time to do this?”

MK:  “Truth is I didn’t do it.  Lara cooked for me.  If it helps, I set the table.”

Bette smiled.

Bette:  “This is wonderful.”

They smiled at each other.

MK:  “Well, lets dig in.  I don’t even know what it is.”

They opened up their plates to find lemon roasted chicken with herbs and basil with a side of string beans and roasted potatoes.” 

MK:  “yum”

Bette:  “really.”

They smiled and dug in.  MK had found herself to be smiling all day.  Bette kept a smile on her face.  Her cheeks were even starting to hurt.  They enjoyed pleasant convo about their day.  Any cares either of them had didn’t matter right then and there.   They finished their meal and looked out at the view as they talked.  A little after the meal MK got up and gathered the dishes.
