good, thank you. It has been a long day and I am afraid that if I have a glass of wine or a beer, I will be asleep in no time flat. I appreciate the offer though.” He nodded in acceptance and raised his glass towards her and pointed to her water in the goblet.
Matt was glad they had a table away from everyone so he could openly admire how beautiful she looked tonight. He felt she should be dressed like a princess every day, even if it was impractical, and all she was missing was a tiara. “A toast,” Matt said, “to new friends, new places, new faces and new love... cheers,” he said looking at her.
Sarah smiled softly at his toast. She really admired how open and candid he was with every situation, there was no ‘games’ and she needed that in her life. She clinked her glass against his “Absolutely! To new things! Cheers!” she said and sipped on her water.
They agreed to order two different dishes and split each with the other. They chatted amicably and easily as they ate. She mentioned to him about the camera and how she had it staged up in the vent. She had climbed up on the table at the end of the day and clipped it to the ac vent pointed towards the register. Sarah had downloaded the app and tried to sync it but it hadn't worked yet.
Matt asked to see her phone to check it out and was able to turn it on for her. He was pleased to see nothing present in the shop. He handed her back the small, pink, slim phone and Sarah said she would check it randomly.
She didn't really think it was going to do much because it didn't record in live stream. It was just an instantaneous snapshot of the bakery and unless you happened to open the app and catch whoever it was at the register... it was really quite useless. Her best bet was the fingerprints or the alarm system, which was soon to be installed. She hoped it would give her some sort of resolution when the police got the results of the prints.
They finished up their meal and decided to split a slice of cheesecake. Matt took one forkful and tried to feed it to Sarah. She was game and took it as a challenge, and grabbed a forkful herself and proceeded to wave it towards Matt. He opened his mouth and she slid the fork in, he sighed in delight. “Mmm, there is nothing better than a good cheesecake,” he said in pleasure.
Sarah made a mental note to make him try her cheesecakes she had just made for the bakery. She was curious if there was more that he liked and wanted to please him, as well as her customers. Perhaps, she would look for a few new things to try?
Matt held up another fork of the cheesecake and waved it towards Sarah. Growing bold, Sarah licked her lips slowly and watched him focus on that single movement. She leaned towards the out-held fork and licked the cheesecake playfully.
He let out his breath in a whoosh and watched heatedly as she licked it again, getting some on the tip of her tongue and rubbing it on her upper lip. Matt groaned. He loved this sexy, playful side of her. He watched as smiled widely at him and innocently bit the cheesecake without a care in the world. “Are you a tease?” he said softly, “or is that just for me?”
Sarah laughed and said, “Well, I have never been accused of being a tease. So I am guessing it is all for your benefit.” Her bravado was fading a bit and she felt on the spot by the hot gaze that lingered on her mouth. She felt such anticipation as he studied her lips.
Matt was overwhelmed by the desire to lick the cheesecake off of her pink mouth. Matt gestured to the waiter and asked for the check. Looking at her, he asked, “Would you like to head anywhere else? A movie? Go for a walk?” Matt wanted to ask if she wanted to go to his place, finish the night together with breakfast in bed the next morning, but thought that would be hugely inappropriate - and smiled. One can always hope?
Sarah said she was good with either suggestion. Neither of them ready for their date to end. Matt paid the bill,
