After they had lunch they went back to his house. They couldn't stop talking because both of them really wanted to get to know each other better.
"I know you live in Nashville but where are you from originally?" "I'm from Oklahoma."
"No way. I used to work in the oil and gas business up there." "oh my god that's so funny. We could have met each other before since my first job, other than singing, was checking records with an oil lease company over there when I was younger." "yeah we could have met."
"it's a small world." "yes it is. Since you are from Oklahoma I suggest that you love to see rodeos." "I really do. I've been to rodeos all the time when I was a kid, becaus my daddy was a four-time World Champion steer roper." "really? That's amazing. Did you do it yourself?" "I did barrels racing a couple of years when I was younger." "your kidding." "no I'm serious."
she laughed.
"where you good at it?" "no I was horrible!"
Both laughed really hard.
"It was so bad that one day my daddy asked my why I would always do things I wasn't good at."
Skeeter couldn't stop laughing.
"wel it's a nice way to tell you you weren't that good." He winked at her. Reba laughed.
"it sure is!" "there is a rodeo show 10 minutes for here tomorrow. You wanna go?"
"oh yeah I would love to. But do you want to go?" "sure. With you I would go everywhere."
"that's really sweet of you."
They kept talking the entire afternoon.
"I have an idea!" "tell me." "I will cook dinner for you." "oh that's really sweet but you don't have to." "I know that I don't have to do it, but I really want to." "ok. Thanks already."
"You're very welcome!" she winked at him.
"do we have to go to the store?" "Can I first take a look into your pantry and fridge? Maybe you have everything at home." "great idea."
They looked for ingredients together. Soon they found everything Reba needed to cook.
"perfect you have everything in here." "what will you make?"
"one of my favourite meals and I really hope you will like it too. It will be Mexican Cornbread Casserole." "never ate that before but sounds really good." "I hope it will. I will warn you already, I'm not a very good cook." "I'm sure it will taste good. You need some help?"
"no thank you. I will make dinner for us. I suggest that you just relax while I'll cook."
"are you sure?" "absolutely." "ok I will do that. Just call me if you need anything or any help."
"I will, thank you."
Reba went to the open kitchen to make their dinner. She really wanted to indulge him tonight. He was sitting on the couch from where he could see her cooking in the kitchen. While he was looking for a show to watch on the television he secretly glanced at her. He still couldn't believe that this beautiful woman was staying at his house for 3 days and was now cooking dinner for him. He felt so blessed. Suddenly he saw her on the televison. He smiled widely en looked over to the kitchen,
"you're on TV right now." "I am?" she asked surprised.
She turned the stove down to a lower heat and went over to him. She chuckled when she saw the reba show playing on the television.
"oh great, the reba show. I love that." "looks really funny!" "yeah it is. A specially Melissa, the blonde one, is hysterical." "she is. But you're also very funny." "thanks. I love to watch that show. I like every episode of it." "did you shoot a lot of episodes?" "I believe 127 in total during 6 seasons." "wow that's a lot." "yeah it was really fun shooting that serie."
"Do you still have contact with the other actors?" "absolutely with all of them. Melissa became one of my best friends." "aww that's so sweet. Oh I see it's a marathon of the reba show, you would like to watch some of them together now and after dinner?" "sounds like fun. The casserole has to bake for 16-18 minutes. I will put it in the oven and will sit right with you."
"great. I will set the table first while you put it in the oven." "perfect."
"you want something to drink? A glass of wine?" "yeah sure, thanks." "do you prefer red or white wine?" "red goes well by the casserole." "Well look at you thinking like a real chef and combining wine with the meal." He winked at her and they started to laugh.
He served both of them a glass of wine and they were sitting next to each other on the couch. They enjoyed the episode "the two girl theory". When the episode was done they eat Reba's casserole.
"you liked it?" "I really did. It was very nice. You're a good cook." Reba chuckled.
"no I'm not. I just have a few meals I can make." "I would love to taste all of them."
"can be arranged."
They smiled and winked at each other. After dinner they put everything in the dishwasher and were sitting on the couch again, this time a little closer to each other. They enjoyed another glass of wine and some more episodes of the reba show. After a while he decided it was time for him to finally ask her what he wanted to do since the first time he met her.
"Reba?" She looked at him. "yeah..."
"would you like to have dinner with me tomorrow night?" "sure, sounds great." she smiled widely.
"but I don't mean a normal dinner."  Reba looked at him confused.
"would you go on a romantic dinner date with me tomorrow night?" Reba started to blush and got a huge grin on her face. She looked him straight in the eyes.
"I would love to." "really?" "absolutely"
"fantastic. I will arrange a nice romantic dinner for us tomorrow night. I will do my very best to make it a night both of us will remember for the rest of our lives." "I'm really looking forward to it." "me too."
They talked a little more before they both went upstairs to go to bed. Before she walked into the guest room she turned one more time to him.
"thanks for the great evening. I had an amazing time." "thank you for the good dinner and the great time." "you're very welcome. good night." "good night. See you tomorrow." "see you tomorrow."
They smiled widely before getting into their rooms. Both of them were excited and a little nervous for their dinner date tomorrow. It was for the two of them the first time, since a long period, that they would go on a date and both of them wanted to make it special and memorable.
