Sara's Place
The ride back to her place had been relatively silent, not because either of them was uncomfortable, but because they were content in their recent revelations to one another. There was an electric current between them that could be felt, but not seen. When they arrived at her place Sara turned to him and asked, "Why don't you come in and have a drink? We can order some food and talk for awhile before shift starts."
He gave her a small smile which quickly turned to a slight frown when he said, "Don't you want to get settled in first, I mean it has been two weeks since you were home last. "
She looked at him and smiled one of her trademark smiles, "I was settled in the moment I saw you at the airport."
He just stared at her beautiful face smiling at him. He must have stared too long because she started to move closer to him, and was almost a foot away before he finally said, "Go on ahead and open the door, I'll carry your bags in." He opened his door to climb out and finished with, "then we can figure out just what kind of food we'd like to order for lunch."
She was already inside starting a pot of coffee when he came in with the first set of bags. "Good lord Sara, what did you pack bricks?", he joked.
"No, just all the souvenirs I brought back for my wonderful coworkers."
He smiled at her and said, "Oh really? And what might I ask have you brought back for me?" He began to open a few of the bags pretending to look for his gift.
Faking annoyance she swatted his hands away and said, "I guess you'll just have to wait and see Mr. Impatient! Bad boys don't get toys, so you'd better be good and stop going through my personal items."
He just chuckled and went back to the car for the rest of her items.
In the meantime she hurried as she carried the first couple bags into her room, glad he hadn't accidentally uncovered his gift as it had been right at the top of her carry on bag. She held it up as she looked into the mirror and thought to herself, "Oh yeah Gil, I definitely got the best gift for you, ME." She heard him come back in and said, "I'm in the bedroom putting a few things away, I think I put some more comfortable clothes on and come right out."
He just told her to take her time, he'd fix them a couple cups of coffee and start looking the takeout menus she had placed on the counter. "Do you have a food preference today", he asked?
"No", she said as she changed, "anything but airplane food is good enough for me."
He laughed at her last comment thinking how much he too hated airplane food. He had thought she might enjoy some veggie thai, so he ordered a variety of dishes they could share. Just as he hung up the phone he heard the bedroom door open and Sara's footsteps walking toward the kitchen.
"Did I hear you talking to yourself?", she said obviously confused.
"No, I ordered us some food"
"Already? What did you order?"
"Now if I told you wouldn't that ruin the surprise?"
She just shook her head at him and smiled, "you never cease to amaze me, always working a puzzle aren't you?"
"Keeps me sharp in my old age."
That comment drew a dangerous glare from her that spoke much louder than any words she could have said. Effectively it said Don't Go There!
He just shrugged it off and decided to change the subject. "So what do you have to drink around here?"
She looked at him for a few seconds then said, " well it would probably help to know what we were eating, but I have a few different wines to chose from in the fridge. I'll let you pick one, since you seem to be good at that, and since you know what were having for lunch."
He walked over to the fridge and chose a delicate red. He hadn't had this particular wine before, but thought from the description it would match well with the spicy thai food.
She watched as he picked the wine, pulled the cork and poured them a couple of glasses. They sat down on the couch for a few minutes while they waited for they're food. The silence was growing awkward, but neither knew exactly what to say at the moment, then she said, "Thai."
He looked at her, " What?"
She looked at him and said again, "THAI! That's your surprise right?"
"How did you know that?"
"Well for one thing the wine. I would have chosen the same myself. And for the second thing, I can smell the delivery guy coming into the building."
Sure enough 10 sec later her doorbell rang.
