Mia pov

"It's nothing special, just spaghetti and meatballs. I'm not much of a specialty chef like my moms but what I do has kept me full." I shut my car door fumbling with my pocketbook having seen her on my side already. It took a bit of bickering and unfollowed directions but I made it to this Migros supermarket.

"You'll find everything here. It's like Walmart but of a different kind."

I lock my car going to her side as we walk to the big building. I didn't know how much time had passed before I actually wanted to commit to the dinner. But Alina swayed my decision to talk with her some more before we went. Mostly after Julia called and said she was at a friend's house.

I shivered in my coat grabbing hold of her hand for some much needed warmth before we finally made it past the sliding doors," alright translator where's the aisle with pasta.''

"The Abendessen gang right there comes on shortcakes."

I ignored that tingly feeling hearing her speak whatever language was written. And she said it low too as if she was doing it on purpose,"You're only a bit taller than me, you can't say that."

"I definitely am in heels",I follow her after getting a shopping cart feeling the urge to try and trip her but I do what any sane person would do, racing her to the aisle. There weren't that many people here and the small laughing I hear from behind me just encourages my brainless side to continue.

I stopped in the aisle, she said quickly going down and finding a box. It looked like the stuff back home so I shrugged and threw it in the cart,"You better not get me thrown out playing around in here."

My smile widens seeing the woman caught up now,"Where's the meat aisle? And not the frozen aisle, I mean the part with the meat. I wanna start from scratch and you're gonna learn a thing or two."

"Oh, I didn't know I would be forced to cook. But whatever floats your boat sweetie."I wasn't much of a pet name user when my last partner used them, always getting a bad feeling but it feels right with her,"do I have something on my face?"

"Yea a speck of me let me get it off.", She grins leaning only a bit as if mocking me just so I could peck her on the cheek. After I followed her not running this time and following that we were soon back in our car after checkout. I threw the bags in the back alongside my good pan, pot and a few spices I brought, not taking a chance on relying on her kitchen utensils," I'm just insulted you don't think I have any of those."

"Even if you did, I bet they're not non-stick ones."

"Just roll them into a sphere in your hands. And just keep repeating that and add them to the pan."

I opened the bottle of wine we also brought pouring into two glasses while hearing her groan. I looked back at her , switching her weight on her feet and going beside her to check on the pasta. I offer to let her hear her hum as I tip the glass letting the liquor pour past her lips,"That certainly helps thank you."

"Didn't know I could make you stressed this way. But there's no backing down to commitment to Alina."

"Well I didn't want to in the first place."

"Too bad I don't care. And don't stop, I wanna get this done before the pasta softens.", I join her bumping my hip into hers to hear her emit a chuckle.

After they were done being made I finally put them in the pot to let them cook. She goes to wash her hands and I do the same after finding her staring at me.

"What's on your mind when you stare like that."

"Oh nothing."

"Come on, we have all the time in the world. Well really one more day but nonetheless you have me for tonight."

"I do?"She smirks and I just hit her wanting to be serious,"I think I want to move. There's no point in having a big house for only one person. I've been thinking more and more about it since the divorce was really the night we kissed."

"When we get back to work I can draft up some places."

"I didn't even tell you what I liked."

"I was thinking of some cottage-like place a bit outside the city. You like quiet places and with that you'll even be able to start a garden."

She sighs just smiling at me before getting up from the stool and I meet her halfway around the island,"I would very much like you to do that Mia."

She moves some of my hair past my shoulder and I place my glasses down letting her pull me in by the neck into her lips. This was too much of a perfect moment letting my hands roam down her back and the entrance of her tongue. It was much like last night but this time no one could stop us. She pulls back, confusing me until I notice the same look I feel,"my room?"

"Lead the way."
