Before she started to drive, she reached for her purse in back. "If you can take pills without water I have Excedrine." She offered and pulled the bottle out of her purse. She tossed her purse in back and handed the bottle to him. "If not, then just toss it back in my purse." She smiled, shifted into drive and drove off. "Home it is."

"That might be nice." He took 3 pills, and swallowed them without trouble. He leaned back into his chair, watching the road unravel from his window. He was dozing off...
"How about some music, Aurora?" As he set the radio on. He put on bad music, just to keep him awake. He watched her drive...there was something gracious about it. He couldn't tell why, but he found this girl so mesmerizing. "I will have to make a phone call when we come back." He states, almost alseep in his seat.

Aurora glanced at him as he was dozing off. She reached over and turned the radio back off. "Go to sleep... You can take about a nice hour-long nap. I remember how to get back." She smiled softly. She dropped one hand off the wheel and gently grabbed Mark's. Her thumb lightly caressed the top of his hand. The landscaping was beautiful; gentle curves in the road, wide-fields, once in a while a line of trees. Aurora very much enjoyed the scenery.
About an hour later, Aurora pulled up into the circle drive. She pulled around to the garage, pressed the door opener and pulled in. She looked at all his cars, then to him sleeping. She parked, shut the car off, then leaned over and lightly pecked his lips, "Mark... we're home, sweetie..." She softly explained as she tried to wake him.

Mark woke up quite suddenly, almost standing up in the car. "What!? Oh...yes...home...now the surprise, yes..." He opened his door, and escorted Aurora to the kitchen. "Do you cook, Aurora?" He asked her.

Aurora looked around the kitchen in awe. Her kitchen could fit in her a few times. "Wow... Yes I can cook. I love cooking." She smiled. "Your home never ceases to amaze me, Mark." She stated, clearly impressed.

"Well, tomorrow, you can cook for us. But tonight, I am the chef, and I shall make you paprika chicken." Mark boldy stated. He began taking out cooking pans and knives, loads of different vegetables, and raw chicken. Placing them neatly on the table, he took out spices, putting them in a bowl. He began cutting onions, zukini, peppers, and other colorfull vegetables. He threw them into a frying pan, and turned the heat on. He went outside and turned on the BBQ. He came back into the kitchen, and began mixing the paprika and other tasty spices. He covered the chicken legs with a thick layer of the delicious powder. He turned and took care of the veggies, sizzling in the oil. Mark took the chicken and put them in the BBQ outside. "Not long now..."
He lowered the heat under the veggies. He opened a cupboard and took out heat keeping bowls and plates. He went outside and took out the brand new and perfectly cooked paprika chicken. He placed the food inside the isolated bowls and plates. He then turned and looked at Aurora, "What would you like to drink with this...?"

Aurora looked at the mouth-watering food. Slowly, she took her dark eyes from the food and looked at Mark. "Wow, hm... drink... I'll trust that you'll have a nice white wine to go with this? And I'll get a glass of water to go as well." She stated and pushed herself out of the chair. She graced past him to the cupboards and opened a cabinet. She blinked, reached up and grabbed a glass. She walked over to the sink, turned the water on and waited for it to get cold. "It smells wonderful, Mark. Tomorrow will be so... bland compared to tonight's dinner." She laughed softly, filled her glass up then went back to the table and sat down. She grabbed their two plates to eat and began to disperse the food out. Once she was done, she set the plates down where they would sit and comfortably made herself at home.

"What are you doing! This is not to eat inside! no no no!" Mark quickly said before she could take a bite too many. He quickly put the foods back into their heat keeping units. "Do give me a minute..." Mark quickly left the kitchen and a few minutes later, he came back with a basket, two blankets. "Tonight, we eat outside..Oh the candles! I almost forgot them." He ran out of the kitchen, and brought back a cardboard box." Yes, I believe I am now ready..." He playfully looked at Aurora... "Are you...?"

Aurora watched him and huffed slightly, "You could've told me." She teased, then grabbed her glass of water. "I suppose I'm ready." She winked. "Just outside or are we going for a small walk? I do hope it's not windy out..." She smiled. "I can say... I've never been on a 'picnic' before." She added softly. "And I do hope you have a dessert." She added quietly. "Not that I would be able to eat much of it. Like I said at the restaurant, you're trying to plump me up." She joked about herself.

"Dessert...I do not make desserts....but I can bring something...let me see what I have." Mark said as he walked to a cupboard. "Ah, found it." He took out a box, a cookie box or something that looked like one. He set it in the basket, he closed the basket lid. "And now for that white wine....Ah yes, my cellar." Mark walked downstairs, he took longer, a good 15 minutes until he got back up again. I have it, and the utensils and plates and glasses are all in the basket already. "All we now need is you, and to be in the area." Mark picked up the basket, and offered his arm to Aurora. "Let me show you, to our dinning area, milady."

Aurora smiled and slid her arm into his. "That sounds wonderful. I'm excited to try this chicken." She smiled, then sipped her water; waiting for him to lead her out. "And perhaps I'll bake something for dessert tomorrow... you'll just have to tell me what you like." She happily told him.

Mark led her outside, closing the door behind them. He walked on the grass, to what seemed to be woods. The sun was almost down now, and full darkness was about to fill the grand land. "Well, honestly I prefer bakery in the morning, but as a dessert, I love Angle Cake. But yes, my tastes are of a wide variety." Mark said, as he slowed his face nearing the woods. The light was almost gone now, and Mark stopped. "Here will do, don't you think Aurora?" He happily asks, standing in the grass just next to the edge of the woods. "Or would you prefer inside the woods? But the insects will make it hell for us sadly. I did not bring any repelent of any sort."

Aurora looked at him with the glass to her lips. She blinked slowly then looked around in the dimming light. "This would work perfectly." She smiled and nodded. She removed the glass from her lips, "Angel-food cake with fresh fruit." She smiled, then took the blankets from him. "I think the bugs will get us regardless." She pointed out, then set the blankets down.

Mark set out the candles on the blanket and around them. He lit them, one by one. He took out the heat keeping plates and set them out. There was a large one for the chicken and round one for the fried vegetables. Now the sun was completly gone, the only source of light being the candlelight. "Ah yes...now you may eat, the papricka chicken with the fried vegetables, Aurora." Mark said, as he gave her a fork and a knife. The plate was already set, all she needed to do, was jump in. He took a leg of chicken with a large spoonfull of the veggies. He already knew he loved this recipie. It was the first one he learned to do.

Aurora sat down, grabbed her utensils and began to eat. She closed her eyes as she savored the flavors. "This... is great." She muttered out as she briefly paused. She grabbed the wine glasses and the wine, popped the bottle open and poured the two glasses. She handed a glass to Mark and took a sip of hers. She carefully set it down, then resumed eating the chicken.

Mark began by eating his vegetables, taking each bite slowly, tasting the whole. Before he finished them, he took several bites of his papricka chicken, he added a little of the skin to each piece of the cooked inside.
"And tonight, I can give my answer to question number two." He slowly said as he brought up his glass. He toasted: "To love at first sight."

Aurora smiled, grabbed her wine glass and held it up. "To love at first sight." She verified, then gently tapped her glass to his. After the small 'cling' she took a drink and smiled. She then set the glass to the side, leaned over and lightly pecked his lips. Aurora sat back and finished her plate off. "You're going to spoil me, know that?" She laughed lightly, then finished her wine.

Mark smiled as she pecked his lips, he quickly finished his plate before replying. "Well....if you call it spoiling....You havn't seen nothing yet." His smile just got brighter and happier. He took out the box, and took out a bar of milk chocolat with almonds. He broke a piece of it, and slowly brought it to Aurora's mouth. "Here...try some, I am sure you will like it." He playfully smiled, as he broke another piece with his free hand.

Aurora leaned forward and gently took the chocolate from his fingers with her teeth. She closed her eyes and leaned her head back; enjoying the smooth chocolate with bits of almond. "This... is amazing... Is it Lindt?" She asked and blinked slowly as she brought her head back up to look at him.

"Yes, I luckly had some in my cupboard." He answered her, taking some of it himself. Mark looked up the darkened sky, the stars were comming out, and the moon was cresent shaped. "Ah, a perfect evening for the perfect company." Mark said, as he broke a large chunk of the chocolat and gave some to Aurora. The crickets began to ring, and fireflies were illuminating the forest in the distance.
