Prompts: 25. dinner, 27. together
Their first dinner together, they ate insects. Grasshopper chutney, meal worm spaghetti, wasp tamales, deep-fried spiders...technically arachnids and not insects. They laughed with each other and then went back to their separate apartments and threw up.
Their second dinner together, they got Grey's Papaya hot dogs from the stand on 72nd, just because she said she'd never had one, and he wanted her to have a taste of New York City. And it was on the way to a suspect's apartment. And he was hungry.
Their fifth dinner together, they actually went out to dinner at a real restaurant - a pizzeria in Brooklyn with the world's best cheesecake. He made her laugh. She made him smile. They got kicked out at closing time.
Their seventeenth dinner together, they ate at his apartment. He made lasagna for her. She told him what a turn-on it is when a guy cooks. He burned everything, because they never made it to the kitchen.
Their forty-eighth dinner together, they had a picnic in Central Park. Strawberry Fields. He brought his guitar and serenaded her. She said that was cheating. He asked her to move in with him. They broke the guitar.
Their eighty-second dinner together, they went on a river cruise. They stood on the deck and watched the skyline turn purple and all the lights in the city come on. He got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. She said yes. But he could barely understand her through the tears.
Their hundred-and-ninth dinner together, they were too excited to eat. Her dress was gorgeous. His tux was a rental. There were stars in their eyes. They danced all night long.
