Chapter 5:
After his meeting with Eric, Carter did what he said he would do. He met Steffy at his office, & they were off to his new apartment near downtown LA to have a home-cooked meal.For Steffy, this was exciting. She was eager to see what he could do in the kitchen.
For Carter, he was excited. He couldn't wait for Steffy to see the kind of home-cooked meal he had in mind.
When they got there, Carter went straight to his refridgerator & grabbed a container that had 3 chicken breasts in it. He then grabbed a pot & put some vegatable oil in as well as a thermometer so that he could make sure the oil was at the right temperture.
Then Steffy figured it out. Carter was making fried chicken & waffles. That had her a bit confused.
"Have you ever been to Roscoe's?" asked Steffy referring to Los Angeles's most famous place for chicken & waffles.
"I have. Marcus & I have been there a couple of times," said Carter.
"What did you think of it?" asked Steffy.
"We both thought it was good, but nothing compares to my mom's homemade fried chicken & waffles," said Carter with a smile.
After getting the chicken breaded, Carter carefully put the chicken in the pot to cook then went right to the waffles, making sure that the batter was mixed just right & that the waffle iron was good & hot. Steffy watched him very carefully.
When dinner was ready, Carter grabbed a couple of bottles of peach iced tea out of his fridge & served himself & Steffy with a piece of fried chicken & a waffle. They then dug in.
Steffy couldn't believe it. Carter's fried chicken & waffles were amazing. She could taste a little bit of cayenne pepper as she bit into a piece of the chicken. The waffles were amazing as well, perfectly light & fluffy. She devoured every bite of her meal.
"This is great, Carter! I love this," siad Steffy with a smile.
"Thank you, Steff. I appreciate that," said Carter with a big smile of his own.
Then the unexpected happened.
Carter went over to Steffy & gave her a very sweet kiss that simply blew her away.
