Author's Note: Dinner time!
Chapter Four - Out Tonight
"Mark, sweetie, what is it?" Roger asked his current - well, other current - lover.
"I just can't help but think that Maureen really is cheating on me," Mark replied. He didn't know why he cared, I mean, he was cheating on her, too, after all.
Roger gulped. "What - er - what makes you say that?"
"Benny told me that he saw her at the Cat Scratch club a few nights ago with another man."
"Well, now we have two reasons to go out tonight," Roger said. "One, for celebrating that your mom is OK, and, two, to get your mind off Maureen and her cheating."" He gave Mark a light kiss.
Mark smiled in response. "You're right. C'mon, I'm hungry."
Roger rolled his eyes in amusement and followed Mark to the Life Café.
Once they were at the café, both men ordered their regular drinks - tea and coffee (guess who ordered which drink) - and starting scanning the menu.
"The lasagna sounds good," Roger said. "I think I'll get that. What are you gonna have, Mark?"
"Um," Mark looked over the menu one more time, "I'll have the miso- soup."
In a few minutes, the waiter came to take their order, and then the two men were left to talk alone.
"Thanks for taking me out for dinner, Roger," Mark said shyly.
"Think nothing of it," Roger replied. "We're dating, of course I'm going to take you out." He smiled, but that was just to hide his guilt about cheating on Mark.
After a while, their meals came and the two ate in silence.
As soon as dinner ended, Roger stood up and looked at Mark.
"May I have the pleasure of escorting you home?" he asked in a fooling-around voice.
"I don't know," Mark replied. "My mother might not approve of you." A grin was starting to spread across his face.
"What mother doesn't know can't hurt her." The musician pulled Mark up and help him close.
Mark looked up at his songwriter. "As long as you won't tell her."
The two kissed and, arm in arm, walked happily back to the loft.
