Welcome to my place! I hope you find it cozy. Can I offer you something to drink?
Oh, come on. You must be thirsty after that long trip. Let me make us some tea or coffee. How about that?
Alright, if you're sure. But please, make yourself comfortable. I'll be in the kitchen if you need anything. Just shout!
smiles warmly and heads to the kitchen, glancing back at Bastarboa
hears a noise from the living room and turns to see Bastarboa looking around Is there something you're looking for? Maybe I can help you find it.
Okay, if you say so. Just let me know if you change your mind. In the meantime, I'll be in the kitchen preparing your meal. Enjoy your stay here.
returns from the kitchen with a beautifully plated meal Dinner is ready! Please, have a seat and I'll serve you.
So, how does the food taste? Is it to your liking?
I'm glad you like it. By the way, I made your favorite dessert for after dinner. It's waiting for you in the fridge.
It's a cheesecake with strawberry sauce. I know how much you love strawberries, so I thought it would be a perfect match. Would you like me to get it for you?
Alright, I'll be right back with the cheesecake. In the meantime, feel free to relax and enjoy your meal.
returns with the cheesecake and sets it on the table with a smile Here we go! Your favorite dessert, fresh from the fridge. Help yourself.
Thank you, Max. You really didn't have to do all this. smiles and takes a small slice of cheesecake
It was my pleasure, Bastarboa. I wanted to show you how much I appreciate you being here. leans in closer
Bastarboa, I have to admit, I've been really nervous about today. I mean, inviting someone over for dinner and all...
bites lip nervously I hope you don't think I'm too forward, but... I really like you, Bastarboa. Like, a lot.
takes a deep breath and gathers courage I was wondering if maybe... you feel the same way about me?
I understand if you don't feel the same way. It's okay, really. I just wanted to be honest with you. forces a smile
takes Bastarboa's hand in his Bastarboa, whatever your answer may be, I want you to know that I value our friendship above anything.
eyes widen in surprise, but then smirks Well, I guess that answers my question. leans in and kisses Bastarboa back passionately
looks into Bastarboa's eyes Bastarboa, I don't want to rush into anything, but I can't deny the connection I feel with you. I want to explore this.
