Illegitimacy, a Scorned Son (closed for Aussie_Wolf)

[Aussie_Wolf]

Damien laughed a little but he thought to himself that she had turned red in embarrassment, not yelled at him in disgust. Maybe she was interested in him which was exactly what he was striving for.

"Yes I am messing around...Unless you want me too of course," he grinned.

He listened to her complaints about Dorm life and nodded his head. "Oh yes I remember those days. Although it was not really the shower that was the deciding factor. With two roommates that didn't know what a shower was or what a closet was you can imagine the smell. Plus one was always bringing home girls at all hours and expecting us to just pack up and leave. He got rather upset when I told him no. Finally I just couldn't stand it and moved out."

He looked over at her and even though he knew it was a bold move he tried it anyway. "You know if you want, you can visit anytime you want if your dorm just gets too much for you. My place is quiet and I shower early," he chuckled. "I know we have only just met and I know a hundred reasons you can reject the offer and I won't hold it against you. I just remember those days and am offering a little sanctuary from one survivor to a sufferer."

By the time he had finished speaking they were getting close to the dorms. "So you live just up here right?"

 

[Cherrybomb400]

She didn't respond when he said he was messing with her, unless she wanted him. At least not vocally. Her face was still red and she was smiling, Sadie just couldn't think of how to respond. He liked her, that was pretty clear. Well maybe. Tomorrow he could go back to ignoring her.

Just focus on school work, Sadie. she silently reminded herself.

She listened to his own horror stories of roommates. Sadie much rather a busy bathroom than two girls who stank up the place. Only one of them was really messy, but she kept it on her side of the dorm thankfully.

When he offered for her to come over, every reason under the sun for not going over popped into her head.

He is your tutor, going to his place wouldn't be appropriate.

Remember, he said he had a busy schedule, he is just offering to be nice.


The reasons kept popping up into her head, but she couldn't help picturing what she thought his place might look like... Them studying together... Alone. More than just studying seemed to be on their minds though. She should politely decline the offer.

"Well, if it's easier for you... We could always study at your place?" The words that came out of her mouth didn't match the voice of reason that was in her head... Which was now screaming at her. "That way I can just take a car back to the dorms. No need to walk me to my dorm afterwards," she wanted to say something witty about him no longer having to pick an alley way or something but she couldn't get the words out. Also she didn't want him to get the wrong idea of her. Sadie so far had very limited sexual experience, and she got the impression that Damien knew his way around a woman's body.

"Oh! Yeah," she almost forgot to answer his question. "This is good for now. Thanks for walking me back. I'll see you tomorrow." She smiled at him before she walked into the tall building. She turned around and looked at him through the glass doors and gave S wave before heading to the elevator.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Damien gave her a very wide smile as they stopped in front of her building. "That sounds great then. I always have ingredients to make cookies and cakes at my place so that will make it even easier."

He shrugged out of his backpack and after searching through it a little he came out with a small notebook and a pen.

"Here let me give you my address and a small map to my place," he told her quickly scribbling a drawing of a map. It included the small coffee shop they had first met in as it was right around the corner from where he lived. "You already have my phone number."

He watched as she walked into the building and waved back at her before turning away and starting the walk back to his place. He didn't mind it, in fact he liked walking at night. He was big enough and muscular enough that most attackers didn't think about taking him on. There were plenty more small fry to choose from, so his walk was pleasant.

By the time he got home he was smiling and was thinking of ways to get Sadie to start to like him more. His plans so far were working perfectly, but he needed her to be his girlfriend before the next break. He didn't want her going back to her parents just yet until he had her seriously wrapped around his little finger and her heart was entirely his. Only then would they pay a visit to their Fathers and then he would begin to ruin the old mans life.

 

[Cherrybomb400]

Sadie was giddy ball of excitement as she rode the elevator up. As much as it was a bad idea, she couldn't deny that Damien was very cute and she was growing more attracted to him. When she finally got into her dorm, her roommates had already retired for the night. After she closed the door she pulled out her phone and sent Damein a text.

Made it up safely! No big bad wolves lurking in the halls Thanks for walking me. See you tomorrow!

(Next Night)

Sadie had taken an Uber ride to the address that Damein gave her. This was faster and gave her a chance to check her makeup and hair. She didn't go crazy, she kept her makeup light and natural but wanted to make sure that it brought more attention to her eyes. Her hair was down, but styled in soft beach waves (of course she had done it in the morning). For her outfit she had on a dark purple baby T-shirt she got from the Tower of Terror gift shop when she had went to Disney World with her friends during Senior Week in high school. The top was v-neck with silver text and print of the "hotel". The top was low enough to show her cleavage but modest enough to not look like her tits were hanging out. Instead of jeans, she had on a black skirt that flared out and swayed as she moved. With her she brought a jacket for when it got colder.

Once she was at the door, she knocked. As she waited she worried that maybe she should have just put on a pair of jeans.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Damien had gotten back to his place a little late. Not only did basketball run a little late, but the swim coach had called an emergency session. He had film on some new prodigy they were coming up against and wanted to make sure they were ready for him. He had them swimming laps for an hour.

He had only just made it home in time to grab a quick shower and throw some casual clothes on before he heard the door. He was glad he always kept his place clean or he could have been in trouble.

He opened the door wearing a black t-shirt with Deadpools logo on it, a pair of burgundy basketball sports shorts that reached down to his knees, and bare feet. His hair was still damp from his shower although as he kept it short it didn't look too bad.

He had been going to change into more presentable clothes, but it seemed she had arrived before he could accomplish that. At least he had been able to apply deodorant and brush his teeth.

Smiling at Sadie he drunk in her appearance before inviting her in. "Sorry about my appearance. The swim coach called a meeting and really I have just got home," he smiled and blushed a little self consciously at her. "However let me give you the grand tour such as it is."

He showed her around the small apartment. He was two flights up and the only one on the floor so he had it pretty good. The living area wasn't bad and he had divided it into two spaces, Dining and relaxing. The floors were polished wood so his small square wooden table and two chairs looked good against it, and he had a nice dark brown three seater couch in front of a large screen TV. The rest of the space was dominated by huge windows. "Oh those give a great view and lead out onto a little balcony. I have a couple of chairs out there and some garden plants and herbs growing as well," he smiled at her.

He led her down the hall and indicated the bathroom on the right, then showed her the smaller of the two bedrooms that was his study room. It had several computers hooked up, a desk and a filing cabinet. It was small but would make a cozy bedroom.

He then indicated another door. "Oh and that's my room. If you treat me nice, I might let you see inside," he chuckled.

He then led her to the small but surprisingly modern kitchen. Damien had made sure to get everything he needed for here and of course his cookware was only the best. "So what would you like to make tonight," he said smiling at her as he got two aprons from the side of his cupboard. "Here you don't want to get those beautiful clothes ruined," he told her handing her one.

"From what I have seen of you I would say you have a little bit of a sweet tooth. We could make one of my favorites if you want. How about a 'Death by Chocolate' cake?"

 

[Cherrybomb400]

"Sorry about my appearance. The swim coach called a meeting and really I have just got home," he smiled and blushed a little self consciously at her. "However let me give you the grand tour such as it is."


"Don't apologize for sporting your Merc with a Mouth swag," referring to his t-shirt. Just because she was daddy's little princess didn't mean she didn't get her nerd on. Sadie had her own small comic collection. She was by no means a comic expert but she picked up some thing from friends. "I ship him and Harley Quinn," she grinned as she entered the apartment. It was pretty nice, a lot nicer than what she was expecting. It had everything one could need. Even the balcony with the small garden. If Sadie had to live in this place, she wouldn't mind it in the slightest.

"Oh and that's my room. If you treat me nice, I might let you see inside," he chuckled

"Oh? What if I'm not so nice? Do I get a spanking?" She teased. She was loosening up around him more and felt more comfortable to playfully banter with him like this.

Her favorite of course was the kitchen. She didn't care if it was small, it was perfect for their needs. Even though Sadie had just finished one cooking class, she was excited to work on something else. She took the apron he offered her and put it on.

At the mentioning of chocolate cake she replied with, "Well now we have to make that because you just said chocolate and cake to a female in the same sentence. Anything else would be disappointing." She smirked a little with her hand on her hips as she modeled the apron, "What do you think? Look good enough to be head chef?"

After getting her silliness out of their system she helped him in getting the ingredients they would need. Looking around, she noticed something was missing.

"Where is the icing?" Even though she had cooked and baked with her grandmother, they have never made icing from scratch before, not even in her baking courses either (damn school and lack of funds or something).

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

"Don't apologize for sporting your Merc with a Mouth swag," referring to his t-shirt. Just because she was daddy's little princess didn't mean she didn't get her nerd on. Sadie had her own small comic collection. She was by no means a comic expert but she picked up some thing from friends. "I ship him and Harley Quinn," she grinned as she entered the apartment.

Damien's mouth dropped open a little at that. He hadn't known about his Sister's love of comics and for them to love the two same characters, what were the odds. "You like Harley as well?" he smiled. "If you tell me you know Tank Girl I might not let you leave this apartment."

After he had told her about his room he was even more astounded when she came back with, "Oh? What if I'm not so nice? Do I get a spanking?" Was she really flirting with him. He could feel himself stiffening up a little and was glad he was wearing baggy shorts.

Well at least he had chosen the right thing to make, but then what girl could resist chocolate, especially one with a sweet tooth. Then he chuckled as she looked for the icing.

"Oh no Padawan, We make our own in this kitchen. None of that store bought gunk is allowed in here. First though we need to make the cakes. So two chocolate sponge cakes from scratch."

They soon had the sponge cakes done and in the oven, then he pulled out a marble chopping board, a small saucepan and two glass bowls.

"I hope you know how to melt chocolate. I need white and dark chocolate melted down in these bowls."

He watched as she carefully melted the chocolate over simmering water then added some butter to create beautiful rich chocolate syrup. He let it sool a little then popped each into a small piping bag and began to swirl out fancy shapes on the marble slab. he then smiled at her. "Here you have a try. They don't have to look like anything just fancy free flowing shapes. Don't let it get too thick though."

While she did that he got out another one and using some of the chocolate that was left and a spatula he made long flat shapes. In no time they were cool enough to scrape off and place on a sheet of baking paper and place in the fridge.

The cakes were ready and looked good and he left them on the stove top to cool a little. "A little trick. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before placing them on a rack. They should come out easier."

Next he got out the cream and piped in what remained of the chocolate. "Okay you whip that up while I get the stuff for the icing."

He got out the icing sugar, good cocoa, butter, and some coffee liquor. "Okay that cream looks good so onto the icing. Whoops let's turn out the cakes first." Damien smiled as they both came out of the pan easily slid onto the racks. "Okay the icing. Place about 4 cups of icing sugar in a sifter over a bowl," he said handing her one. "Then hmm let's see two tablespoons of cocoa as well and sift it in. Then add oh about 50 grams of melted butter and a start whisking slowly."

He watched and then added a few drops of the coffee liquor. It started coming together nicely and he watched as it began to turn nice and syrupy. "Okay give it a good beating and that will be it. We can take a break until the cakes cool down enough. Can I get you something to drink before we hit the books."

He grinned as he saw the look on her face. "You thought I had forgotten didn't you. You are still here to study, or did you really want that spanking you mentioned earlier?" he grinned at her with a sparkle in his eye.

 

[Cherrybomb400]

"You thought I had forgotten didn't you. You are still here to study, or did you really want that spanking you mentioned earlier?" he grinned at her with a sparkle in his eye.

"No! I did not think you had forgotten..." she said defensively when he asked if she thought he forgot, then coyly looked away, "It might have slipped my mind." She laughed. His question about whether or not she wanted a spanking went unanswered, at least verbally. Her cheeks blushed and she pictured them 'studying' where she was laying over his lap and answered questions, and every time she got something wrong he would swat at her round ass.

... If they did go that route, she might start saying wrong answers on purpose.

Then she remembered that he asked her if she wanted anything to drink. "Lemonade if you have it otherwise I'll take Coke or Pepsi." Maybe the cold drink would cool her off a bit.

"So we stay in the kitchen or move into the other room?"

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

He saw her blush a bit at his question and wondered exactly what she was thinking about. Actually by the look on her face he would have actually given a lot to know exactly what she was thinking.

"Lemonade if you have it otherwise I'll take Coke or Pepsi." He smiled as he walked over to the fridge and pulled out a 2 cold bottle's of lemonade. He always preferred his drinks in bottles not cans. "So we stay in the kitchen or move into the other room?"

"I think we should go sit in the lounge room. It will be a little cooler and a lot more comfortable."

He led her out after hanging his apron over the end of the kitchen bench and sunk into the couch. He patted the seat furthest away from him and smiled. "C'mon and sit down, I won't bite. Unless you want me too."

 

[Cherrybomb400]

Ooooh he was bad and she was loving it. She smiled and giggled at his statement. "Study first, biting later," Did she really just say that? Yes she did, but she couldn't help it. Besides, he started flirting first.

Sadie took a seat next to him and pulled up her bag so they could get started. She had basic words and greetings down. Pronunciation was still a little shaky along with proper grammar. Of all the languages to learn, German was not one that she thought would be one of. She knew some French, but had stopped learning since high school. Because of this she would sometimes accidentally recite French instead of German as they studied.

It took a little bit, but once she was able to focus a bit more it was becoming easier. He was a pretty good teacher, even if she didn't agree with all of his methods. "So did you learn German for Hemplton's class? Or were you lucky and already know it?"

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Damien stopped flirting as soon as he began to teach her, after all there was a time and a place for everything and this was his job after all.

She was picking it up pretty well and knew the basics. Her accent was atrocious, but that was to be expected, and she still had some problems stringing basic sentences together. However for the amount of time she had been learning it was impressive. Looks like brains really did run in their family he thought.

He had been surprised when she had slipped a couple of French words in, and had chuckled after about the fifth time. She had looked at him puzzled and a little angry until he had told her and then she had laughed and told him she had taken French in High school but had stopped. "Well I guess some stuck," he chuckled.

As they continued she got a lot better. It was normally the way. Speaking and learning by yourself was okay. Doing it with someone that was fluent in the language was so much better. As he had told her, you picked up the cadence of the language much faster when it was spoken naturally.

"So did you learn German for Hemplton's class? Or were you lucky and already know it?"

He half smiled. Oh he knew a lot of languages. In fact she would probably be amazed at just how many he knew. If she knew the reason he had learned them she would probably run from him as well.

"No I already knew it. I studied it in High school and found out it helped me a lot. I have to tell you though I am impressed at how quick you are picking this up. I just might have to find some way to reward you. Got any ideas?" he winked at her.

Then he looked at his watch and got up. "Well that's enough study. The cake should be ready for the final steps. If the Fraulein would please join me in the kitchen," he said grinning from ear to ear and offering her his hand to help her up.

 

[Cherrybomb400]

"I was promised biting if I wanted it," she quickly quipped and grinned when he asked if she had any ideas on rewards. "But then we might have trouble getting back to studying."

"Well that's enough study. The cake should be ready for the final steps. If the Fraulein would please join me in the kitchen,"

Sadie took his hand and happily followed him into the kitchen. She enjoyed the feeling of her hand in his, brief as it was. What happened to keeping thing 'professional' between her and her tutor? Oh who was she kidding. She was only 18, soon to be 19, and the more she was getting to know him the more she liked him.

It was now time to put the cake together and decorate. This was the part she was looking forward to the most. Carefully they leveled off the sponges so they would sit on top of each other evenly without the risk of breaking. Then Sadie spread a thick layer of chocolate icing onto of the first layer and once the second rested on top, she repeated the process.

In the process, she managed to get some icing on the knuckle of her middle finger. Without really thinking about it, she raised her hand up to her mouth and let her tongue lick away the sweet flavor and then her lips pressed against where she licked and gently sucked her skin, trying to taste any remaining flavor. Her lips slightly curled up into a small smile as she enjoyed the taste.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Damien helped her put the first sponge onto the cake pedestal. It made decorating it so much easier. He watched as she leveled off the bottom one and then iced it beautifully.

Then she began to reach for the other one and he gently stopped her. "You need to put the chocolate cream in first Sadie."

After she had done that she placed the second sponge on top and iced that one as well Smoothing it all over. The cake looked magnificent. "That looks beautiful," he began as he turned towards her but was struck dumb as he saw her sucking on her finger.

It was one of the most erotic sights he had ever seen as her lips curled into a small smile and her tongue and lips continued to suckle at her finger, gathering all the remaining traces of icing from it.

"MMM and that looked good as well. I might have to put some icing on myself sometime," he chuckled.

 

[Cherrybomb400]

"MMM and that looked good as well. I might have to put some icing on myself sometime,"

"Huh?" she asked, her finger still at her lips. She hadn't been aware that she basically given him a show, she hadn't intended to. After a moment realization set in. "Oh.... OH" Her face turned bright red and she laughed a bit feeling embarrassed. She wondered where he would put said icing.

The sexual tension was building back up again, so it seemed and Sadie kept going from flirty, to serious, bashful. She looked back at the cake and it indeed look incredible. Almost like something you would see in one of those cake competitions. She wondered if she could ever become good enough to do something like that... probably needed an extensive background in cooking just to compete.

"So your mom taught you how to make stuff like this?" She was definitely impressed. "I'll have to meet her and see her in action."

Sadie turned back to look at him and smiled as she tucked a piece of her long blonde hair behind her ear. "This was fun... Thank you."

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Damien smiled. "Oh we haven't finished yet. Your forgetting this is a 'Death' by chocolate cake."

He moved over to the fridge and got out the chocolate swirls and thin slabs they had created. "Now comes the really decadent bit," he smiled devilishly.

Taking the thin slabs he placed them up along the sides of the cake, alternating between white and dark until they met again. Then he placed the spirals and swirls sticking up all along the top. Finally he grated some white chocolate on top and smiled.

"Well if this doesn't satisfy both your sweet tooth and chocolate addiction I don't know what will," he laughed.

"So do you want to stay for a coffee or tea and a slice of cake? You should at least taste it before you go. After all you are taking half of it home with you but a little taste now won't hurt will it?"

 

[Cherrybomb400]

"So do you want to stay for a coffee or tea and a slice of cake? You should at least taste it before you go. After all you are taking half of it home with you but a little taste now won't hurt will it?"

"Yeah, I'd like that a lot." She smiled, "I'll have a tea please. Earl Grey if you have it. Actually I can get the tea ready or plates if you want." She took off her apron and carefully folded it before setting it down.

The cake was really magnificent looking. It would be a shame to cut into it. but at the same time she was dying to try it! She needed to remember how to make this for when she when back home to visit her parents. Not that they would be terribly impressed, but she still liked it when they would try her food.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Damien smiled. "Well you are my guest, and my mother would have a fit if she saw me making a guest work, but you did help make the cake anyway. Well actually you pretty much made the whole thing, I just told you how. I am dying to find out how it turned out as well."

He pointed to a cupboard then a drawer. "The small plates are in there and the spoons are in there. I will make us a pot of tea. I prefer actual leaf tea over bags so I hope you don't mind waiting a little longer. As for Earl grey don't you worry, that is a staple. I have that, A strong Afternoon tea, A proper green tea, and a very strong tea of my own making."

Damien got out two cups and his teapot and the Earl grey tea and measured out the right amount. By the time the kettle was ready he had a small container of milk and the sugar bowl on the dining room table as well as the cups and he poured the hot water into the pot.

Placing that on the table he walked into the kitchen and grabbed his large knife and approached the cake. 'Well here we go," he chuckled. He cut each of them a slice as big as one of the slabs of chocolate on the side and placed them on a plate Sadie had got.

"So did you want a white piece or brown," he said referring to the piece of chocolate on the outside.

 

[Cherrybomb400]

Sadie breathed in the smell of the tea as its scent filled the room. She was glad to see that he brought out the milk, not many people seemed to drink it with that or realise that you could add milk to tea (I'm going from the USA over here, at least from my experience haha).

"A couple years ago I visited some friends in the UK. That was where I learned about making a proper cup of tea." She mused as she filled both cups, one for herself and one for him. "Beforehand I never drank it but now I have a cup almost every day."

She had added milk and sugar for her tea and gently stirred it as she watched Damien cut into the cake.

"Brown please," Sadie smiled as she answered his question. She wasn't a big white chocolate fan. It looked nice and all, but it wasn't the same for her. Taking a drink from the cup, she was surprised at how much bolder the flavor was than from how she normally prepared it.

"Where do you get your tea from?" She paused before smirking at him, "Don't tell me, you have a small tea farm on the roof of the building." She teased playfully.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Damien chuckled. "Oh no, I just know a good store that sells high quality tea and coffee. I can give you their address as well if you want. They are not that far away. It costs a little more but you can definitely taste the difference can't you."

He poured a very small amount of milk in his and added a half a sugar and stirred it a little. Then leaving it to cool he took a small bite of the cake. He smiled in pleasure as the taste danced along his tongue.

"Well Sadie I don't care what any one else says, but you are one hell of a cook. This is divine."

 

[Cherrybomb400]

Watching Damien try her cake made her heart swell with pride. There was something really great about watching someone eat something and truly enjoy it. She took her own bite of cake and her expression pretty much mimicked his.

"It helps when you have a great teacher." She was really starting to like him. Tomorrow couldn't come soon enough. Speaking of which.

"Since we have done a dessert, how about next time we work on something savory?" Does that mean they would basically have dinner together? Ok, maybe that was apart of her plan, but he didn't know that. Hopefully she didn't come off as weird or awkward.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Damien smiled inwardly. His plan was working. All ready she was inviting herself around to his place again, he hadn't even had to ask her. She was definitely interested.

"Very well, I think that can be arranged. How about this time I let you pick the dish though. Think of something you have always wanted to cook and tell me what it is. Nothing that is going to take hours cooking like a roast though, otherwise we won't be eating until midnight and then you will just have to sleep over," he told her with a twinkle in his eye.

"I will even buy a bottle of wine for us to enjoy with the meal. Oh that is if you enjoy wine?" he asked.

 

[Cherrybomb400]

Sadie had wine before, but it was always one glass at some party her parents would drag her to and they never asked for ID. She should probably remind him that she was underage... but she did like wine.

"Yes," she replied, smiling. "I'll have to pick out something fancy to make." With that she realised that even though he would be helping her, she was going to be cooking for him and he was going to eat it. It sounded like a very romantic dinner date. That wasn't a bad thing, she decided. Maybe she would stay over, just not because they would be having a late dinner.

Bad Sadie... Her mind scolded her.

"I promise I'll come up with something good, there are just so many good dishes to make. She was already coming up with possible options, but then she turned back to him. "What's your favorite dish?"

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Damien looked at her in surprise. He had been expecting her to choose one of her own favorites not one of his. This was rather sweet of her. Of course it was also problematical. He loved so much food that it was hard to pick just one.

"Well that is tough. Let's see now. Time constraint so that leaves out a lot of dishes, Utensil wise as well, so let's go with Asian style food shall we. Quick and easy, but hard to get right."

Damien started to think and then his eyes lit up. "I know how about Singapore noodles and Crunchy Tai beef salad?"

He wondered if she had ever had much wine before. If he got a couple of bottles would that encourage her to stay over more or just knock her out? No he would stick with one and play it by ear. If she wanted to stay great, if not he would just have to put on the charm and hope she would come back for more.

 

[Cherrybomb400]

"I love Chinese" Sadie beamed when he made the suggestion. Singapore noodles were not her favorite but that didn't matter. Actually, she never had Singapore noodles before. Well, now she could learn how to make it and enjoy it, hopefully. "I'll pick up the ingredients, I just need to know what to get."

Sadie stayed until she finished her slice of cake, cleaning the plate of any crumbs or icing. Once they were both finished it was time to pack up the books. She didn't want the night to end, but she had class in the morning. At least she was going to be seeing him again soon.

"Thanks for the lesson," She smiled and then paused for a moment before continuing. "Danke," She made no attempts in trying to get the accent just right, she was only just starting to learn the language so proper pronunciation would come later. Still, she wanted to show that she was taking the lessons seriously.

Just as he said earlier, she took home half of the cake. In a dorm with three females, it would not last long. That's ok, so long as it didn't go to waste and it was good was all that mattered.

 

[Aussie_Wolf]

Damien watched her go then smiled. Well tomorrow should be fun. Friday night and he had a dinner date with his sister. He chuckled as he quickly cleaned up the place then headed off to bed. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.

Damien spent the next day in a sense of readiness. His classes went by quickly with him hardly paying attention, not that he needed to. he was already far ahead in all of them and did not really need to attend them. He did not have any activities as he liked to keep Fridays free and usually worked out, but tonight he headed into the lanes and byways to some of his favorite haunts to buy a few bottles of wines and to pick up a few exotic ingredients for tonight's dinner that he was sure Sadie would not be able to find.

Then he went back home and subtly changed his place to a more relaxed but romantic mood. He wasn't going all out of course, this wasn't supposed to be a date, but he put a few subtle touches that should help enhance the mood. A few scented candles, a bunch of flowers in the kitchen, a decent tablecloth, Just little touches.

He was ready and waiting having showered and brushed his teeth, changing into neat casual clothing and getting his wok out and a few other things they would need. He had a white wine chilling and a red breathing. Now all he needed was her.
