Sara's Apartment:: Sunday Evening::NWS

[csi_butterfly]

Sara's table is set, lasagna in the oven to stay warm, wet paper towels over it to keep it moist. Sara glanced around, a vase of red roses on the table, their soft scent mingled with the food. She smiled, sighing happily she checked her appearance once more in the mirror before waiting for Polgara to come.

Comments

Polgara, smiling to herself at Sara's rather mysterious invitation, actually used the front door to arrive for once, lifting her hand to knock.

[csi_butterfly]

Sara heard the soft knock and smiled happily, she hurried to the door; soft music floating on the air. "Hi." she said opening the door and stepping back for Polgara to enter the apartment.

[duchessoferat]

"Hello," Polgara murmured in reply, stretching up for a kiss before stepping past Sara.

[csi_butterfly]

Sara leaned into the kiss, she kept it very light and soft. "Hungry?" She said, her fingers finding Polgara's hand.

[duchessoferat]

Polgara lifted her chin a little, catching the scent from the kitchen. She turned to beam at Sara. "You cooked for me?"

[csi_butterfly]

Sara blushed slightly and nodded. "I did."

[duchessoferat]

Polgara's smile grew wider. "I can't wait to taste . . ." she said, deliberately pausing and letting her eyes rake over Sara boldly before finishing, "It."

[csi_butterfly]

Sara immediately started to blush and grin like a fool. "Well I've been preparing it all day." She said, her heart pounded at the look in Polgara's eyes.

[duchessoferat]

Polgara laughed, shaking her head a little. "It smells wonderful, whatever it is," she smiled.

[csi_butterfly]

"Vegan lasagna." She said happily, she led Polgara into the dining room and held out her chair for her. She would have had wine to serve but opted for grape juice instead. She remembered Polgara un-fondness for alcoholic beverages.

[duchessoferat]

Smiling bemusedly, Polgara took the offered chair, craning her neck back to look up at Sara. "Sounds lovely."

[csi_butterfly]

Sara beamed and hurried off the kitchen to get the lasagna. Doling it out onto two plates, bread and some chocolate cake for after she smiled again. Carrying it out carefully she set down Polgara's plate first and then sat her own down. She sat down next to Polgara and smiled at her. "I love you."

[duchessoferat]

"I love you, too," Polgara replied. She hesitated with her fork above her plate and shot Sara a mock-suspicious look, a teasing smile tugging desperately at the corner of her mouth. "That sounded horribly like a goodbye . . ."

[csi_butterfly]

"Did it?" Sara said in surprise.

[duchessoferat]

Polgara laughed. "I'm just teasing, dear. I'm sure you aren't out to poison me."

[csi_butterfly]

Sara chuckled now and grinned. "Of course not." She grinned and cut off a small bite to taste it. "I do cook on occasion though I must say you spoil me." She winked and then took a bite.
