Charlie:
"The school is so close that you won't even get the time to notice the car." I said as I opened the door for her.

Aletha:
"I... always prefer a late night date. Preferably around midnight. Open area. Lots of green and candles. Romantic music. And a couple blankets since we'd spend the whole night under the starlit sky."

Charlie:
I let her in then got into the driver seat. It was a five minute drive but it felt like it was an hour long. I was so nervous. What should I even cook? Savory or sweet? Traditional or modern? God... I think I forgot how to boil an egg!!

Aletha:
I couldn't help but smile brighter now, "Okay then. Sleepy time now."

Charlie:
"Yeah but ... If I don't pass I can't be a professional chef." I said as we parked.

Charlie:
"Yeah but I... " I was interrupted by my professor, "Rise and shine, Captain Crunchy... Oh and who is this beauty?"
"This is my girlfriend, Heartley." I said putting an arm around her, "Heartley, Professor Lencioni."

Aletha:
I woke up a bit early next day to exercise a bit. While our pregnancies didn't include a baby bump, we still could gain some weight due to not moving as much. And I was not gonna allow that to happen. Especially not this early.

((working on Leon. I was watching beauty and the beast last night and gosh did that remind me of Leon and Ryan.))

((Nope the animated movie. Haven't watched the series yet))
Charlie:
He bowed to her with a flourish, "What do you think of this boy? Does he cook well for you?"

Leon:
I was in the bathroom with a towel around my lower body looking at the mirror as I shaved. Pausing a bit, I noticed the dark ... Tattoo like patterns on my back had extended to cover the top of my right arm. Shaking my head, I continued to shave before heading back to our room to see if Ryan was up.

((Did you notice that Angel posted in the new AU? I really wanna pick it up over there at some point))
((Well Denise won't be very happy. I was thinking Aletha might discover the plot. Denise doesn't seem very threatended but Aletha is worried))
Charlie:
'Heeey yeah. Cooking time?" I felt a little embarrassed as my professor started to laugh at her comment. He waved at me, "Yeah yeah. Come on. The panel is waiting. Maybe Heartley would like to join us?"

Leon:
I smiled at her and walked over before picking her up and kissing her. "Yeah. Still hotter than me for sure." I placed her down to get dressed. I was not looking forward to today.

((Well hmmm ... Don't know. Would Denise listen to anything Aletha said earlier? I am planning for her to reach out to Ryan with her worries))
Leon:
"Sure. What're you up to?"

Charlie:
"Yeah emotional support."

((hmmm... What if Ryan and Aletha team up?))
Charlie:
"Good luck kiss?"

Leon:
"We can't, my angel. I have to work with the family of the fallen. I can't just run away from responsibility. If I were in their shoes, I'd have so many questions ... And would have been demanding answers."

Charlie:
"Ookay." I said with a sigh before taking a deep breath and starting to work on a few recipes. What was I gonna make again?

Leon:
"... I don't know."

Charlie:
After a couple minutes of beigns o lost, I actually found myself calming down and soon enough, I was cooking like a pro ... I'm supposed to be a pro. I mad everything from delicate appetizers made out of little shrimps to an entree that I invented and finally a dessert.

Leon:
"Not right now I think. Listen, I need you to find out more about the group that pushed for that attack."

Leon:
"Can you convince her for me?"

Charlie:
"Nope! I'm done." I said smiling confidently.

Charlie:
"I made a plate just for you actually."

Leon:
"Fine...Give me her number."

Charlie:
"Hey. I wanna feed you. "

Leon:
I picked up my phone and dialed her number waiting for a response.
