Makoto knew Kaoru was watching her still. She was making spicy Italian food for him.
He sniffed the air and walked over looking hungry.
Makoto had set a table for dinner all for him.
Kaoru looked at her and then the table. "A set up. You're tricky, Mako."
"Are you refusing a date with me?" Makoto grinned.
"It smells good, so no." Kaoru sat down. "I've been wanting to date you for a while. But I thought I would be the one asking."
"I'm girly, but I'm not old fashioned." Makoto laughed, putting food in front of him.
Kaoru ate her food and the two started on their first date.
Makoto smiled at him.
This was going well.
