Summary: This is a different take on how Emma and Jenny met, after high school. Emma is a food critic and Jenny just happens to own a restaurant.
The week had been chugging along as usual. Emma had done another review this week and it was nowhere near as good as Jenny's restaurant. She only gave this one 2 1/2 forks. She had been thinking of Jenny quite often during the week, most notably remembering the chocolate incident. Emma decided he had to talk to someone about it, so she called Luzi.
L:Hey Emma! How are you?
E: I'm okay. But how are you? Are you even in Germany right now?
L: How did you know? I'm actually in Austria. Yes I know....my life is rough.
Both girls laughed at the absurdity of the situation.
E: I'm glad it's going well. So... I need your help.
L: Spill.
E: Well I kind of met someone.
L: Oh Em, that's great.
E: Yes, well it would be...
L: But?
E: I'm pretty sure she is straight. But I don't know, there is this weird chemistry. I can't really describe it.
L: Try.
E: Okay. First of all, she's gorgeous. Totally out of my league.
L: Stop right there. You are quite a catch Emma. Why can't you ever see that about yourself? You are smart, funny, beautiful and such a good person.
Luzi noticed a pause on the line.
L: You are blushing aren't you?
E: Shut up. And thanks luzi.
L: It's true. Anyone would be lucky to have you. Okay, next.
E: Well...she is the owner of a restaurant I reviewed, but I'm done with that article so we have become friends now. She invited me to her restaurant to teach me how to make a dessert. At first I thought she was asking me out, but then she said she wants to make friends in cologne. She has not had the chance to meet people since she's been here.
L: Okay....
E: So I went thinking we would just be friends.
L: Makes sense.
E: Then I got chocolate on my nose while baking.
L: Nicely played.
E: It really wasn't on purpose. You know how I am. Anyway, she wiped it off for me and there were a few seconds when we were very close and I thought maybe.....
L: And?
E: The oven timer went off.
L: Damn, sorry Em.
E: So now I have no idea.
Emma exhaled deeply. Luzi could see how she would be confused by this.
L: When will you see her again?
E: I invited her to Hotte's party this Saturday. She's going to come after she closes the restaurant.
L: Good. Plenty of time for you to get drunk first and confess your love.
E: Luzi! You are not helping.
L: Okay, okay...listen. Just let it happen. Be friends with her and if it should be more, then it will be. No need to push it.
E: Yeah, you are right. Thanks. You are always my voice of reason.
L: Glad I could help.
E: Are you going to be back in town by Saturday? It'd be nice to have you at the party.
L: Sorry Em, I'll be in Italy this weekend. I wish I could be there for you.
E: As long as you have a phone you are always there for me.
L: Yep. I have to run now, but keep me updated okay. I miss you all.
E: I will. Talk to you soon. Bye.
L: Later!
Luzi was right, Emma knew that. She needed to just relax and let it happen, whatever 'it' may be. Planning out what to do in any situation is what Emma would normally do. She liked to be prepared for whatever might happen, so it was a struggle for her. She made herself keep busy so she wouldn't freak out over it.
Emma called Jenny's restaurant and left a message for her with the new hostess, regarding the location of Hotte's party. She hoped that Jenny would indeed show up. But until then, she still had to get through the week until Saturday.
