I didn't clap.
I just sat there thinking:
God help me, I'm falling and a woman like Ari isn't to be mess with unless you're tired of living, the said the country president daughter is the the country first daughter but we all know that the country first daughter is ARI, the General Godfather Daughter, "Gideon " I just hoped am not too ordinary for her,
I went back to the office with my term the always celebrate our win and I let them do their things, life shouldn't be hard any means of making a good person smile I always come through, and it goes both the opposite, after my last hangout with Ben, I have been a bit distant to him and that made him feel like am upset but I wasn't, days passed weeks passed and you can say month also, we only see at my office whenever he brings a client he's investigating a case for, often times I let my terms meet with them and report back to me, but today he pleased on the phone to please let him see me, I can only say yes to a sincere pleased, after the meeting he offered to cook for me over at his place, I accept after all I have Uncle Gideon's words imprinted in my heart,
Another Dinner With a Detective sounds funny,
Ben cooked for me.
Burned the rice. Over-seasoned the chicken. Tried too hard.
I teased him mercilessly.
"You interrogate criminals better than vegetables," I said.
He laughed, unoffended.
Later, when his hand brushed mine, the room went quiet.
I didn't pull away.
The Scar
I saw the scar on her shoulder when she reached for a glass.
"Old injury?" I asked.
She hesitated. Just long enough to lie convincingly.
"Childhood accident."
We both knew that wasn't the whole truth.
I didn't push, I was happy enough that she did told a part truth looking at her my heart melted over and over, I know stories of how she lost her parents and the hard times she had proving herself to everyone, I don't know if I should say this but she's my model, don't be surprised cause she's a woman and I am a man, model are people who inspired you right? You see them and you said ohh I wish I could be like this person, I wish I could have the strength, courage, wisdom, confident, aura etc and that is same way I wish whenever I see or remember her, I mess up the dinner today, I'm a bad cook but truth me next time will be on point, but wait why they foods so bad, I mean I watched and read many online cooking recipes and methods, crazy I must say,
Love grows better in silence.

We ended careers and we are happy.
