"Wraps, stuffed bell peppers, and French bread pizzas."

"I made tuna and avocado wraps, stuffed bell pepper boats, and oven-baked French bread pizzas," you reply with a satisfied grin as you show off the dishes you had cooked for Sara, Christine, and yourself.

All of the girls ooh and aah as they try out the food you cooked.

"You can see why we have Mark cook for us!" Sara tells Sofía and Christine before taking another bite of the tuna and avocado wrap.

The seven of you chitchatted while you enjoyed your meal — you talked about your work (Jen said that she modelled without mentioning about her gigs as a stripper and streaming live sex shows) and the girls eventually moved the topic to their dating and sex lives. You keep your mouth continuously stuffed with food while the girls complain about the lack of good men (with the occasional glances from your roommates), however, they broached the subject you had been avoiding all evening.

"Yeah, I broke up with my ex after she cheated on me," you reveal to your neighbors and coworker with a shrug. "That's how I wound up being roommates with these lovely ladies."

You stand up and offer to take the girls' empty plates. "Who wants dessert?"

"What's for dessert?" Christine asks innocently and you glare at your roommates to stop them from giggling at your inside joke

"I hope everyone likes tiramisu?" you ask while you head into the kitchen.

"Yes!" the girls cheer in a chorus and they cheer again when you return with the coffee-flavoured Italian dessert. The girls continue to talk about things girls like to talk about and you just sit back and listen while anxiously waiting what will happen when dinner is finally over.

"Thank you for inviting me over for dinner, Mark!" Christine smiles.

"Yes, thank you!" Sofía nods as she stands up. "It's much better to have people to talk to over a great meal than eat alone at home!"

"Thank you, guys!" Lisa chirps as she gets up to leave.

"We should do this again," Sara suggests as the girls exchange hugs.

"I haven't forgotten about our coffee date," you whisper in Lisa's ear as you hug her.

Your two neighbors wave as they head down the hall back to their apartments and you escort Christine to the elevator to drive her home.

"I didn't realize you were such an amazing chef!" your coworker beams as you take the lift down to the lobby.

"I learned the best way to a woman's heart is through a great meal," you state as the elevator door opens.

"It was definitely a great meal..." she giggles. "I hope you can make dinner just for me sometimes."

"Yes, I promise I will," you smile, opening the passenger side door of your car for her.

As much as it would have been great to have the typical sexual dessert you don't think you have the stamina to satisfy five beautiful women. You are content with them just sated with your cooking.
