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.
Note: I am noticing a drastic reduction in my amount of free time so I was unable to make the desired changes and any other updates may be delayed. Sorry!
It was time! Jenny was getting ready so she could be on her way to pick up Emma for their date. She had tried on about 20 different outfits. She didn't know what it was about Emma, but she wanted to look just right for her. After finally choosing, she decided to head out. She could not wipe the smile from her face as she was very excited to see Emma.
Emma was rushing to get ready herself. She had been out shopping earlier that day with Hotte, helping him buy some bookshelves for his apartment. He had kept her much longer than she anticipated with his indecisiveness, so she had hurried home and then was running around her bedroom getting dressed. As she heard the doorbell ring, she jumped with slight scream. Emma went and opened the door to a gorgeous Jenny.
E: Hello there.
J: Hi.
E: Come on in. I am almost ready, I just am rushing a bit because of Hotte.
J: Don't worry. Take your time.
E: Thanks.
Emma turned and walked into her bedroom to finish her makeup. She quickly peeked her head out of the doorframe to speak to Jenny.
E: You look beautiful by the way.
Jenny smiled.
J: Thank you.
Emma was finally ready and came back to the living room where Jenny was waiting.
E: Okay, I'm good to go.
Emma and Jenny both looked each other over and could not help the smiles that overtook their faces.
J: You look great.
E: Well thank you Ms. Hartman.
J: Shall we head out?
E: Yep.
The girls started walking to the restaurant Jenny had chosen. She only really knew about her British cuisine competition in the area, of which there were not many, so she had to get recommendations of where to go. Italian seemed like a safe choice to Jenny, not knowing Emma's tastes yet. When they arrived the girls took their seats at the table and started the small talk.
J: Okay, so I need to learn what makes Emma tick.
E: Um....
Jenny chuckled slightly.
J: Okay, less pressure. Where did you grow up?
E: Born and raised right here in Cologne. What about you?
J: My father works for a bank and we had to move around quite a bit when I was growing up, so I have lived all over. Most recently I lived in London but I have never really found a true place to call home.
E: Well I hope Cologne become that place.
Emma gave Jenny a hopeful smile.
E: Granted it's no London, but I just love it here. Any siblings?
J: Only child. You?
E: Three siblings. Favorite color?
Jenny laughed at Emma.
J: You're cute.
Emma felt her face go flush.
The girls continued their dinner and enjoyed their conversation. When the dessert came, Emma tasted the chocolate cake.
E: Yours is so much better than this.
J: You think? Can I try it?
E: Absolutely.
Emma pushed her desert plate slight towards Jenny, who then leaned over got a piece of the cake with her fork. She ate the cake and licked the chocolate off the fork. Emma was just staring at Jenny's mouth.
J: You are right. Mine IS better.
Jenny snickered a bit at herself and also at Emma, whose eyes were locked on her.
J: So, you up for a movie after this?
Jenny's comment brought Emma back to reality.
E: Totally. I love movies.
J: Excellent.
The girls paid for the meal and headed out to walk to the movie.
J: I did not know if you like action, drama or comedy so there are a few movies that start around the same time.
E: Comedy please, I love to laugh.
J: And I think I'd love to see you laugh.
Emma again felt her ears blush and opened the door for Jenny as they approached the theater. They bought their tickets and made their way to some seats in the center of the row in the middle of the theater. The show began and the girls sat watching the movie. Near the middle of the show, Jenny felt the urge to touch Emma. She slowly began to inch her fingers closer to Emma and was taking her time. Jenny finally decided to just jump in and reached over to take Emma's hand. She felt the reaffirming squeeze in return showing Jenny that it was what Emma wanted as well. They enjoyed the rest of the movie, neither wanting to let go of the other. At one point Emma looked over to Jenny right after a funny line in the show and saw her laughing out loud. It was one of the greatest things she had noticed about Jenny to date. She had an amazing laugh. Her eyes lit up and she was laughing with her whole body. Emma could not help but smile.
As the movie ended, the girls got up to leave the theater and began walking home. Emma again grabbed Jenny's hand as they walked.
E: Since you picked me up tonight, I'll walk you back home.
J: Great.
They continued walking hand in hand until they arrived at Jenny's restaurant. Jenny turned and faced Emma and started to get out her keys.
E: Do you go in through the restaurant or the separate entrance?
J: I usually go in the restaurant so I can take one last look to be sure everything is ready for tomorrow.
E: Makes sense. So...I had a really great time tonight.
Emma was smiling, which caused Jenny to smile just as much.
J: I did too. Thanks for coming out with me.
E: We will do it again I hope.
J: We better!
E: I should get going but I will call you soon.
Emma stepped forward to Jenny and kissed Jenny on the lips. Jenny returned the kiss and brought her arms up Emma's back and twirled her fingers in Emma's hair. Emma wrapped her arms around Jenny's waist and pulled her close so their bodies were pressed against each other. The kisses continues until Emma broke away.
E: Oh I'm sorry, I didn't even ask, are you comfortable doing this in public?
Emma looked around them in the dark to be sure no one was watching. Jenny did not break her gaze from Emma.
J: Completely. If I get to feel like that again, I don't care where we are.
Jenny smiled and felt herself blushing.
E: Good. I hope I get to feel THAT again soon.
J: Me too. I will see you soon.
E: Night Jenny.
J: Sweet dreams Emma.
Emma began the walk home thinking just how sweet her dreams really would be.
