The girls cook the boys dinner

“And it came down to the last fucking hole and I just choked,” Macca explained to everyone around the dinner table.

The five of them were sitting around a dinner table, eating what Miranda and Ali had cooked up for the group.

“Well how did you go Mark?” Ali asked him.

“Ohh I umm Uhh… I..” Mark muttered.

“He didn’t even play,” Macca answered for him, “He quit after the first three holes, went for ice-cream with some blondie.”

“Oooh a girl huh?” Ali asked, eyebrows raised and a smirk on her face.

Mark blushed, his cheeks red, he certainly didn’t plan on getting into the details of their meet-up, “It’s not like that, she was the girlfriend of the guy that Macca was playing golf with, we just both couldn’t be bothered out there in the sun.”

Nobody seemed to question him any further, believing what he had told them. It didn’t really matter if they knew at all but Mark was choosing to be a little more secretive about it since the girl did in fact have a boyfriend. The less people that knew that, the better.

“Anyways, this dinner is incredible girls, I didn’t know you could cook so well,” Mark asked them.

“Don’t look at me,” Ali said, “That’s all Miranda.”

The blonde shrugged, smiled and put a piece of ravioli in her mouth.

“You cook often?” Mark asked her.

“Occasionally, I’ve lived in quite a few different places over the years and had a lot of different people cook for me so guess I’ve had a lot of people to learn from,” she explained.

Finishing a bite full of food, Macca nodded along, “Well you can cook for me anytime, this is bloody unreal.”

It wasn’t unnoticed by Mark that the blonde had a giant smile on her face as she continued to eat her own dinner. Spending just a couple of days around her, away from the social pressures of life on campus, Mark was seeing more of her other personalities, ones that were much nicer to be around.

It truly was lovely with the five being able to bond over some dinner and drinks.

“Isn’t this nice?” Ali said as she finished her plate of food, “It’s not like the five of us have ever sat down and had a meal and a chat before.”

“Yeah good point, except for our recent meetings of course,” Daniel said.

“Meetings?” Macca asked, confused.

Daniel immediately went into recovery mode, “Ohh Uhh study meeting session thing we’ve been doing.”

Macca zoned out after hearing the word ‘study’. That was enough to cover up the lie.

As they began cleaning up the table and washing the dishes, the vibe was still high. The sun was setting outside and the group were more than interesting in consuming a little more ****. Clearing up the kitchen, a couple of post-dinner ideas were brought up.

“We can start the jacuzzi up outside if anyone wants to go for a bit of a dip after we’ve cleaned up, what does everyone think?” Daniel asked with a genuine smile.

They all agreed, Mark couldn’t hide the grin on his face, it was great to see just how far Daniel had come socially over just a couple of days here, the girls had really helped bring him out of his shell.

Author's Note:

Hi all, hope everyone is still enjoying the story, a lot of chapters and storylines to come but we are coming close to finishing the Sophomore Year story. I have some great ideas of how to finish this one and how it will lead into the next one. Ill explain more about that at a later date.

Would love to hear from more of you guys about the current direction of the story first though. Always read every comment and take it into consideration. If you are invested in Mark's journey and are still reading, let me know in the comments of what you're enjoying or what you're not really liking.

Would help me out in the direction I take this while giving you all a better story.

Thanks.
