Amuse-bouche : Part II

* The term 'amuse bouche' is French for "mouth amuser"-think complementary little bites that chefs send to diners at the start of their meal. (Extract of Kitchen Language, Michelin Guide)

When we arrived, there were a beautiful setup for four. Lei and Luna were already sitting waiting for us. There were also a waiter standing by. For some reason everything had an intimately romantic aspect and feeling. Everything has a good taste, full of delicate details that reveal the time they took to prepare something good and well done for us. And that gesture was something that as much as we wanted it was impossible to ignore.

Upon our arrival Andreas helped me be seated and Lei stood up.

"Good evening, as expected you look beautiful. I told Andreas that he'll be dead, and I think he is."

He greeted me with a friendly kiss on the cheek and politely waited for me to seat.

Andreas looked at him with a "Thank you for the moral support" face and gave up.

"Nothing she hasn't noticed, thanks pal."

We couldn't stop the laugh. Which was good because, it helped us relax a little and enjoy what would be a memorable dinner indeed.

[ Luna's POV]

Everything was exquisitely fresh and delicious. As we immersed ourselves in the flavors of Indonesian cuisine, we delighted in the sophisticated taste of the two gentlemen who accompanied us.

"And since when did you start your business?" Was Lei's question.

"Well, we have been moving in the industry for about 8 years. Thank God everything is running very well. But we started 11 years ago." Amelia replied.

"And to what you owe its success?" Andreas remained extremely interested.

"I must say that many hours of sacrifice, preparing campaigns, proposals for investment prospects, banks, and especially at the beginning doing small jobs to let others know about us. This did not happen overnight. But we had a goal, and nobody could take it out of our head and much less from our heart. "

An immensely proud me stated.

Both were somewhat surprised as they watched us with an air of admiration.

"So, you ladies are determined. Apparently, you don't need nothing else" Lei exclaimed.

"Any specific reason for the comment?" I couldn't help but riposte.

Andreas didn't take his eyes off Amelia, appreciating every reaction.

"Take it as a compliment." Fixing his gaze on me.

"Interesting way to offer it." Amelia was severe.

"Don't get me wrong. It's a complete haze what you've done and at your age, but ..."

When he continued, it was inevitable not to interrupt him.

"Don't tell me that you are intimidated by an empowered woman, with a lot of initiative and nothing to lose ... You don't like that woman is on top?"

This could not be like this.

"Not at all! I find it admirable. Times have changed and a woman with determination is more irresistible than a pair of big tits and zero brain..." I scoff as I took a sip of my Jamu juice staring at him. "...and... I don't mind that the woman is on top, that doesn't stop me from taking control whenever I want, but rather intensifies the experience."
