Do you dream much Will?
Will slipped off his jacket and tossed it over the back of the arm rest of the sofa, he ruffled the back of his hair with the palm of his hand causing it to stand up like a hedgehog in winter. He didn't know why his stomach was starting to do flips when all day all he could think about, was dinning with the beautiful female since he meet her during the more than awkward conversation about where she had been during the estimated time of the murder. Will knew that she would be the first main suspect because she had only been in this neck of the woods for a few days so he did everything to make, sure that she wouldn't get put away on the charge of being a possible murderer. Looking at the boring clock that was nailed above his tv screen he walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge door, he pulled out a pack of new potatoes, three cans of beans and some asparagus. Placing them on the counter he closed the door making sure to remember to take out the tub of butter when the potatoes and asparagus had finally cooked, slicing the potatoes in half he filled up a pan with cold water and placed it on the stove to bring to a boil.
"Alright. Water is boiling. Stakes are on a pan. Mushrooms are clean the sauce takes fifteen minutes to prepare and ten minutes to cook, which means that can be done at the end."
Letting out a frustrated sigh he rubbed the tips of his fingers against his forehead as he tried to prevent the head ache that was starting to form, to ruin his line of vision he looked at the clock and was surprised to see how fast time was going on.
"Guess I better make this place spotless.
1 hour later
Will's apartment was not that big but in the limited time that he had he was able to push the sofa back nearer to the window and bring out the wooden round table which he covered with a cheap table-cloth, he placed two mats down with fork and knife on either side with a single candle in the center that he would light when the food was ready he just had enough time to once again check that the knot of his tie was pushed up against his adams apple when the sound of the buzzer brought him out of his day-dream like state. Moving sharply from the table while tucking his shirt into his trousers he pressed the button to allow him to speak to whoever was on the other end.
"Hello?"
"Hey Will its me Cornelia."
Will had to keep himself together this wasn't like his high school crush this was something that he wanted to become serious, and so without hesitating he spoke in a formal tone of voice.
"Oh hi Cornelia, I'll buzz you up."
Pressing the button hard with the tip of his thumb he didn't let go until he heard the sound of the door opening on the other side of the speaker, smiling he removed his thumb and quickly made his way towards the cooker mainly to look busy and to keep an eye on the potatoes as he didn't want them to over boil, he hadn't started to cook the steaks as he wanted to wait and find out how Cornelia liked hers. Hearing the light rasping of knuckles against the wooden door, he took in a deep breath and walked with pride towards the door and opened it once again he was greeted with the green eyes that made him weak at the knees when he first saw her. Cornelia had curled the tips of her hair and was wearing a silk green top with sleek ironed trousers that were just long enough to cover her high healed shoes, she was holding onto a bottle of wine that was certainly not something you would find from a typical grocery store.
"You look beautiful."
Will only realised that he had spoken when he watched Cornelia smile showing off her front teeth as she bowed, her head to look at her feet she lifted her head back up and flicked her hair to the side she showed him the bottle, that she was holding.
"I hope you like red."
Will chuckled as he nodded and stepped to the side.
"Its my favourite, please come in."
Thanking Will as she walked into his small apartment she briefly allowed her eyes to travel around, she noticed that his apartment was small but it was homey her lips turned into a small 'o' shape when she noticed the table in the center, of the room which caused her cheeks to turn a light pink in colour. He had put so much effort into their date she was very flattered hearing the door lightly click Cornelia turned herself around and noticed that Will had gone into the kitchen, she followed him and was greeted by a mixture of many different smells he certainly, knew his way around the kitchen which made him different from the other men that she had dated.
"Can I help?"
The sound of her sweet voice caused Will to pause in his preperation which consisted of adding peper and salt to the boiling water to enhace the flavour, he nodded his head as he smiled he wouldn't make her do much as was his guest but it would be nice to have some company.
"There is some fresh salad in the fridge if you wouldn't mind putting that in a bowl, and adding some black pepper with salad dressing and then mix that together it would be a great help. Also how do you like you steak?"
Cornelia was more than happy to help as she opened his fridge door and took out both the salad and the salad dressing, she found a dark brown bowl in the cupboard with large plastic forks in the bowl and set to work, she washed the salad off first before she answered the question.
"I like my steak not to be bloody or to pink if thats alright with you?"
She asked as she looked over her shoulder towards him causing her cheek to press against the boney part of her shoulder, Will only chuckled as he shook his head placing the steaks down on the hot pan which was already covered in oil with salt and some grounded peper.
"Fine by me."
