A little bit of uncomfortable conversation
Who: Keyuri and Ben
When: Ben's birthday
Where: Her place
What: Keyuri has a proposal to make.
Keyuri swore that when she had first offered to cook Ben dinner for his birthday, inviting him to her apartment to eat, tugging him in by the hand when she had greeted him at the door in a lacy white dress bedecked with flowers and a great smile on her face, it hadn’t been with ulterior motives in mind. Oh, sure, she had been mulling over an idea in her mind for quite awhile when it came to Ben, one that picked up whenever he grinned at her or she caught some reference to Halloweens or costumes. But, still, she did honestly want to spend time with her friend and do something for his birthday, and what better way to show a little affection between Weres than with food?
She hummed softly in approval as she licked a swipe of peanut sauce off the side of her thumb after she poured the hot concoction into a medium-sized bowl, pleased as punch that not only had Ben seemed enthused enough at the prospect of finger foods of beef and chicken satays, and of lettuce wraps made with toasted coconut and pan-fried shrimp, but that her food was turning out exactly as she had expected.
She padded barefoot across the hardwood floor of the kitchen to set the peanut sauce aside, turning enough to send a smile Ben’s way as she carefully picked at the satay skewers to pull them out of the pan one by one and set them on a waiting serving plate.
The idea was to have a sort of picnic in the living room, where the couch had been pressed back and they could just sit and eat and talk, easy as you please.
Well, easy if not for the idea that kept slipping to the front of her thoughts that she decided might just be the time to suggest it to Ben while they ate.
