Partners On and Off Set

by elsiecarson

Colleen Peck and Mike Pomeroy have to work together and they're learning to get along. What happens when they decide to spend some time away from work together? There are signs of insecurity and later they have to go on location and they soon find out they're going to have to share a room because the town is so small.

6. Sushi Lunch

"Mr. Pomeroy, long time no see! Your usual table is free if you'd like you and your lady friend to sit there." The restaurant hostess says to Mike.

"That would be great, Jina, thanks." Mike says as he leads Colleen towards to back of the restaurant.

Coleen sits cross-legged on the floor by a short-legged table. "Since this is your local sushi restaurant why don't you order? I'm fine with just about anything except spicy food." Colleen smiles as Mike sits across from her in his sock feet.

"You trust me to order?" Mike asks sceptically. Normally Colleen would never let someone else order for her.

"Sure, it's your restaurant and you know what's best." Colleen says calmly.

"Can I get you two something to drink?" Carly, their waitress asks.

"Can we get a pot of green tea please, Carly?" Mike asks politely.

"Sure Mr. Pomeroy. Are you ready to order as well?" Carly asks as she recognizes Mike.

"I think so. I'm going to order for us. Can we get the edamame, the agedashi tofu, the ebi gyoza, a dynamite roll, and we'll split a chicken teriyaki don."

"Good choices Mr. Pomeroy. We'll get right on that." Carly says with a smile. She quickly comes back with a pot of green tea and two cups.

"You don't mind that I ordered for us, do you? Usually strong, independent women hate when men order for them." Mike double checks with concern in his voice.

"I asked you to order for me. I don't mind that you did that. If you'd done that when I hadn't asked you to then we would have had issues." Colleen teases Mike.
