Chapter 8|The Good News

Anais was in her rented design studio space. It wasn't as big as Paul Wrights but it was a start. She worked after college jumping from jobs to jobs to get the money she needed for her dream. She wanted design clothes, and maybe someday own a fashion line.

"Hey, babe." Jesse said walking into the studio and giving his girlfriend a peck on the lips. "Need help with the moving?"

"Yeah, I just started." She said blowing off the dusts on a box.

"Hungry? I brought lunch."

"Aw....that's really sweet! I am starving!"

"I got your favorite, pot stickers."

"Mhmm....I can smell it already!" She said bringing out the box of steaming pot stickers. "So, you got any gigs?"

"Oh yeah! I actually got one! It may not have great pay, but it's a bit better than what they pay me at the Cafe. It's in the mall nearby."

"Oh! That's great! When is it?"

"Next week, but its a one time thing though so don't worry. Then you remember that glee club coach I interviewed for?" Jesse asked as Anais nodded. "They came through! They hired me! I start Monday!"

"That is great!" An said standing from her spot. She couldn't contain her happiness to his good news. "Oh my gosh! So much good news in one day!" Jesse stood up and hugged her.

"So I was thinking, we could celebrate some place nice....." He said, trailing.

"What are you..."

"That Italian place that you love..."

"OH! AMORE?!"

"Yeah! Then after that, I was thinking maybe we could....you know....." Jesse said slowly turning into a seductive voice.

"Mmm....I like that...." Anais said playing along.

"No, no. I called for a reservation for two. It's under the name Cochran. Will you please check it again!" Jesse said insisting.

"I'm sorry, sir, but your seats won't be available for another hour." The front desk man stated which made Jesse groan.

"Hey, babe it's alright."

"I'm so sorry, I really called. I don't know what happened. We can't wait for another hour, they'd be closed soon."

"Then, what do you say we ditch this place and just order take out?"

"But you love this place."

"Yes, but I love you more." An said. Jesse kissed her and they walked out of the place.

They went to buy take out from their usual place and headed home.

"You can never go wrong with pot stickers." An said with a mouthful of pot stickers. Jesse only continued to stare at her. "What?"

"I love you." Was all he could muster. She smiled back at him then he leaned closer and kissed her. He wrapped his arms around her waist bringing her more into the passionate kiss.

"I know that night wasn't supposed to be that way, but seeing you happy made everything worth it." He smiled.
