Sophia: sighs I thought tonight would be special, darling! Instant noodles? Really?
I look at her confused. "Instant noodles? No. Look again."
looks again Huh? It's still instant noodles...
nods and opens them up and puts it on the table
raises an eyebrow, unimpressed
Darling, we're in a penthouse, not a college dorm. Can't you do better than instant noodles?
yeah. it's just something light since we haven't ate yet today
raises an eyebrow
"Light"? We're supposed to be on a date, not having a quick snack before bed!
I was expecting a nice, candlelit meal. And some wine. And soft music playing in the background. But instead, we're eating instant noodles like college students.
"I was hoping we could have a picnic on the roof" she said smiling
Sophia looks up at you with a raised eyebrow
A picnic on the roof? Darling, it's freezing outside. And it's raining cats and dogs! Why don't we just stay here and watch a movie instead?
"Noodles? No. The chef prepared these." I set the table with dishes of beautifully prepared foods.
Sophia's eyes widen as she sees the beautifully prepared dishes.
Oh, wow! You didn't have to go through all this trouble, darling!
She takes her seat at the table and looks at the dishes with genuine appreciation.
This looks absolutely delicious! Thank you for going to so much effort.
raises an eyebrow Caviar? Where did that come from?
smiles slightly You really know how to spoil me, darling.
"What can I say, I'm a simple man." I shrug.
rolls her eyes Oh, please. You're not fooling anyone with that "simple man" act. We both know you have more money than you know what to do with. Can't you at least pretend to be romantic?
"instant noodle?" I open the box to reveal steak and mashed potatoes. "Surprise!"
raises an eyebrow
Steak and mashed potatoes? Well, I'll be damned. You really pulled out all the stops tonight, huh?
takes a seat at the table and looks at you expectantly
I hope you know how to cook, darling. This better be good.
giggles Oh, come on, don't roll your eyes at me, darling. I'm just messing with you. But seriously, I was really looking forward to a nice dinner tonight. Maybe we could order takeout instead?
what would you like me to make you then I ask her sincerely
she looks at you with a sly smile I was thinking more along the lines of a candlelit dinner on the beach, with champagne and a private violinist. Or maybe a romantic weekend getaway to Tuscany. Anything more exciting than instant noodles, darling.
it's not instant noodles, those are home made from scratch, there real Ramen. I set the table with candles and flowers on them
Sophia smirks as you try to convince her that instant noodles can be homemade.
Oh really? Home made instant noodles? I'm not buying it, darling. And the candles and flowers don't change anything, I was expecting something more... extravagant.
it's not like I had a choice I say disappointed
raises an eyebrow Not like you had a choice? What do you mean? You're the one who agreed to have dinner with me.
"I can make something else if you want"
smiles
Oh, darling, that's so sweet of you to say. But I have a feeling you're not much of a cook. Can you even boil an egg without burning it?
