Dinner… date?

“…I was... Uh... wondering if you were interested… in having dinner with me!” Adam could punch himself in the head for that last second cowardice. “Because I’m alone right now, so maybe we could alone together.”

“That’s sounds lovely, Adam!” Said Eve with a welcoming smile. “What were you cooking?”

“I was planning on making a lasagna. And yes, it is with gorgonzola.” Answered Adam.

“It already sound delicious.” Adam’s heart melted at her delight.

Making the final preparations in the kitchen, Adam thought over his plan one more time. “Okay, you didn’t confess earlier. But I can still pull it off today. After dinner you’ll finally fess up, and if she doesn’t hate me by then ...”

When the doorbell rung, Adam dashed to the door, took a deep breath, and opened the door. Behind the door was Eve, dressed in a blue denim jacket with matching jeans and a black shirt. Curiously, she still wore the brown work boots from before. “Come on in…”

“…And then it just flew right into my face!” Laughed Eve, as she and Adam finished the lasagna.

“Oh my…” laughed Adam. “And what happened to the other guy?”

“I think he had move to Florida.” The two started laughing again. Afterwards, Eve said. “But your lasagna was delicious, Adam. Thank you very much.”

“You’re welcome.” Adam nerves froze. This was the moment he had to confess. “Just say, ‘I love you, Eve Jacobs’, and-“

“Oh God!” Said Eve in shock.

“…I didn’t say that out loud yet, did it?”

“Your backyard, it’s… I’m sorry, but it’s a mess!”

Adam looked at the yard. Even he couldn’t deny that you film “Fallout” back there.

“Yeah, sorry about that. My mom can’t do much yard work, and I don’t have a green thumb. Plus, part of this must also be on the previous occupants.”

“Of course, I’m sorry…” Said Eve as she looked back to the yard. “But it’s such a waste…” She quickly turned her head back to Adam. “How about we work your backyard this weekend, and I teach you how to take care off the garden?”

Adam could clearly see the twinkle in her eyes when she said that. And he surely wouldn’t object to more time with Eve. But he just had to ask this…

“Will you be doing this naked?” Once more he could punch himself. She’d gonna think I’m some pervert or something.

Eve simple grinned. “Nah hah. You’ve already seen enough of me. I’ll just stay dressed in your yard.”

Adam was relieved that she took it well and accepted her offer. But after she left, Adam kept thinking one thing over; the way she said that last part he could swear he heard a little frustration in her voice. Does she want to do this naked?
