She said yes, she said YES! His heart skipped a beat and his face flushed red with excitement and embarrassment. However he couldn’t get rid of the smile on his face when she said yes. Now he’d have to think of something else for them to do. A nod rose and fell his head as he felt so more and more excited at the thought of going out with her again. 

Then, she began to tug on him, laying him down and resting his head on her lap. James’ blue eyes flickered closed as he relaxed in her lap. A small moan of enjoyment echoed in his throat as her fingers ran through his hair. That was one of his favorite things and it was so peaceful he felt himself wanting to lay there forever. Her mention of going home brought both of them to a pause. Wait… they had to leave? They had to leave and they wouldn’t be able to spend time together like this… under the eyes of everyone else. 

It wasn’t like James to break the rules, it wasn’t like James to go against the wishes of his master and yet, as she stopped talking he reached down and took her free hand, bringing it up he gently placed a kiss on the palm of her hand. A kiss, no a promise; an unspoken promise that this wouldn’t change no matter where they are, in his mind when he was off work he was just James and she was just Freya.

She finally picked back up with talking before getting cut off by the doorbell. A defeated sigh left him as he laid in her lap for an extra moment before finally getting off of her. “Thank you.” He said softly, gently running a large hand across her cheek before leaving her in the kitchen and going to the front door.

[b]“Jjjjjjaaaammmmmeeeeeessssssss!!!”[/b] A high pitched squeal echoed into the apartment as soon as he opened the door. Rebecca soon came into view along with another bleach blonde girl in a skimpy outfit. Obviously Freya was not  the individual they were expecting to see and the look of disappointment on both the girl’s faces were easily read as they saw her. 

“Rebecca, this is Freya, Freya this is my partner for the project, Rebecca.”

[b]“Hi.”[/b] Rebecca said short before giving a boring gesture towards her guest. [b]“This is Molly.”[/b]

Molly greeted them before the four took a seat in his living room.

“This is our goal.” James began picking up a notebook from the table and flipping it open. “We are creating a dinner dish based on the French cuisine. So what we’re hoping to achieve is different flavors that play in layers on your tongue. For the appetizer we will be making: [url= http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Classic-Gratineed-Scallops]Coquilles Saint-Jacques[/url], for the main course it will be [url=http://www.seriouseats.com/2012/12/food-lab-pan-seared-foie-gras-how-to.html]Pan-seared Foie Gras[/url] with [url= http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/recipes/9548568/Confit-de-canard-recipe.html]Confit de Canard[/url]
and for dessert we will have [url= http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/cheese-recipes/beautiful-baked-camembert/]Baked Camembert[/url]. It will take us about 45 minutes to prepare everything and I have a list of questions for each of you to answer so you know what you’re looking for. Describing the overall taste won’t help us so look at these questions and focus on those. We will give you samples of everything along with black coffee or tea to clear your pallet before you start on the next dish.” James handed each of them an elegantly written list of questions with spaces to write responses. 

“Rebecca let’s get started to we can insure that we don’t use up anyone’s time.” With that the two partners headed into the kitchen and began cooking.
