Scarlet woke up to the scent of something delicious cooking. Rubbing her eyes, she wandered into the kitchen and came up beside Ivan. [color=33ff99]"Whatcha cookin'?"[/color] She asked, her voice slurred from sleep.

Ivan grinned. "Lasagna and Fettuchini Alfredo." He answered. This particular meal was rather symbolic to him. To him, this dish symbolized the first place he had taken Scarlet. Soon he had finished, getting two plates and covering half of each with lasagna and the other half with alfredo. He set both plates on the table, lit a candle, and pulled Scarlet's seat out for her to sit down. "This is the surprise!"
Scarlet smiled and sat down. [color=33ff99]"Lovely surprise."[/color] She picked up her napkin and placed it in her lap. Without meaning to, she blow out a slow breath--which made the flame on the candle go out. She blushed and grinned sheepishly. [color=33ff99]"Oops."[/color]
Ivan chuckled, relighting the candle. "I'm sorry I didn't wake you up to help with dinner, but you just looked so peaceful that I just couldn't make myself do it... What would you like to drink?" Ivan had still not sat down, so that if Scarlet wanted anything else he could get it for her before he ate.
[color=33ff99]"Water's fine."[/color] Scarlet folded her arms across her stomach and waited for Ivan to sit. She didn't want to start eating without him at least sitting down.
Ivan quickly brought Scarlet her water and sat down across from her. "Thank you very much. It means a lot to me that you came over and let me cook for you." Ivan told Scarlet, grinning.
Scarlet laughed. [color=33ff99]"It's my pleasure. And thank you for inviting me over to dine with you."[/color] She took a huge bite of the lasagna and sighed in pleasure. [color=33ff99]"Dis ish goot,"[/color] she said, her mouth still full.
"I'm glad you think so. I made it for you." Ivan answered, completely ignoring the fact that Scarlet was talking with her mouth full... Or perhaps he just didn't mind. "Please feel free to live here as long as you like." Ivan offered kindly before twirling fettuchini alfredo onto his fork and taking a large bite.
Scarlet smiled but didn't reply. She got lost in eating and didn't say anything for quite some time. She was either eating, or watching Ivan, a love-struck look on her face.
Ivan had soon finished his dinner, but remained seated just in case Scarlet needed anything. Whether it was a candle that needed to be relit or a conversation that had to be discussed, he was there for her.
