“Boy! That was something.” He kissed her lightly on the forehead. Marco helped her wash and then got the towel for her. They changed and stepped out of the bathroom. “If it’s ok with you, I am going to stay over.”
“Of course, it’s ok. Actually, I emptied one of my drawers for you. Thought you might want to keep some of your things here so that it’s easy when you’re staying over.”
“Thanks.” He opened his mouth and then closed it.
She’d the distinct feeling that he wanted to talk to her but was reluctant to do so. She wondered what it could it be and whether it had something to do with Ned. She longed to ask, but at the same time, Stacy didn’t want to borrow any trouble. Ned was a complicated problem they would have to solve later. She didn’t want to bring his name up at the moment and spoil the mood.
“Would you like some dessert? I made crème brûlée.”
He stared at her as if she was from outer space. “That would be nice. I thought you cooked only a little.”
“Maybe I lied. I actually enjoy baking more than cooking,” she admitted. “Come. We can eat it in the living room.” After he sat, she brought the dessert out from the kitchen. “I was planning to keep one for you, but fresh is best.”
“You had time to come home from work and make something like this?”
“It doesn’t take a lot of work, not if you know what you’re doing,” she said. She gave him one and settled to eat. He looked exhausted. Something bad must have happened at the club today. She wanted to ask, but she was reluctant to destroy these precious moments with shop talk.
“I’ve finalized the Cape Cod plan,” he said. “We can go next weekend.”
“That’s great. I will pack my bags then.”
“Bags? We’re only going for two days. You could probably put your stuff in a backpack.”
She laughed at his naiveté. “It seems obvious to me that you haven’t gone on a trip with a woman. Happy as I am about that fact, I hate to burst your bubble. A woman needs too many things for even one night. There is the outfit that I will wear at night for dinner, then another for next day, another for dinner, and of course I have to have extra clothes, just in case.”
He shook his head. “I guess I am better off not knowing,” he said. “Me. I will be ok in one pair of jeans, a pair of shorts for the beach, and three t-shirts.”
“You’re a simple man, Marco, while I’m a complicated woman.” She ate the crème brûlée and was happy to discover it was baked to perfection. Sometimes she messed up, but tonight it turned out ok. Ned used to make such a big fuss if she didn’t serve something scrumptious every night he ate in the house. It didn’t matter that she was also working a full-time job; he wanted her to be active in the kitchen.
No. She wasn’t going to think about Ned. He was her past and Marco was her present and future. She was starting over with him, and he was a very easy guy. He didn’t demand anything from her and was happy to accept whatever she offered.
“I can’t cook much,” he confessed. “Perhaps I should try one day.”
“Maybe I could teach you,” she said. He was a little distracted. It was easy enough to see that. “Cooking isn’t difficult. For me, the hard part is the planning of it and getting groceries. I don’t like to keep a lot of things in the house because I eat out so many nights, and if I don’t cook often, things just expire and I hate wasting money.”
“Yeah, that’s true.”
“A friend of mine has invited me for dinner tomorrow. It’s her anniversary, and they are throwing a lavish bash. I can bring a plus one. You want to be that man?”
“Of course. If you’d asked someone else, I would have been pissed.”
“In that case, I am happy I picked you. It’s a formal thing, so wear a suit. She tends to go overboard with such affairs so expect to be
