Me-Me and I combine my bread dough with her beef, and she places it all in the oven. Now it’s a waiting game. This time, we don’t take any chances. We both remain by the stove to make sure we get it right this time.
Me-Me pulls it out of the oven right on time. The meal comes out perfectly. Chef Hailey approves, and Me-Me’s cooking skill increases. But it’s too bad we won’t get a chance to try it.
A quick stop to the restroom, by me this time – and it’s time to go to Lia’s restaurant.
Melisa: I just received a text from Lia. They have a table waiting for us.
Kai: Then we’d better go. I just realized this is the first time we’ve been out since we married. So we should make it a date?
Melisa: Are you asking me out?
Kai: Only if you’re saying yes
Melisa: At least you’re not asking through a text this time.
I chuckle, thinking about how nervous I was the first time I asked her out on a date.
Jamelia’s Place is in a breathtaking location. Me-Me and I are in awe as we arrive. Lia is standing outside waiting for us.
Melisa: This is amazing, Lia. I’m so happy for you!
Jamelia: Thank you both for coming!
The sisters greet one another with a big hug.
Lia’s boyfriend comes over to greet us as well.
Jamelia: Me-Me, Kai – this is Stefan. Without him, none of this would be possible.
Melisa: It’s so nice to meet you.
Kai: Congrats on your restaurant.
Stefan: Thank you! The pleasure is all mine. *to Me-Me* And congrats are for you as well, no?
The attention turns to Me-Me’s protruding belly.
Melisa: Ah, yes. We’re expecting baby number 2.
Jamelia: But I haven’t met baby number 1 yet! We’ve been so busy. How’s my nephew doing?
Me-Me and Lia take a moment or two to play catch up on one another’s lives before Lia directs us to the host stand, where her host Amrish is waiting to show us to our table.
Despite the line, Amrish tells us to step up before everyone else.
Amrish: Your table is waiting.
Customer in line: Hey! But we got here first.
Amrish: Yes, sir. I will be right with you after I assist our honored guests.
Me-Me and I feel bad that other guests are being kept waiting because of us, but I guess there are perks in being related to the restaurant owner.
Amrish shows us to a lovely table by the window.
Amrish: *stepping away* Please enjoy your meal.
We sit down, and I glance at the menu.
Kai: Wow, there are a lot of unique choices here.
Melisa: Right! Lia has really done it. I’m so proud of her!
We decide what we’re going to order and wait for our waiter while we take in the atmosphere of the place.
When the waiter finally arrives- we place our orders, and Me-Me steps away to use the restroom again. Our food arrives just as she returns. We both ordered dishes we’d never tried before, and the food does not disappoint.
After a much-needed night out, we arrive home. I find ma outside working on a painting of Dub.
Kai: How did it go?
Prosperity: Perfect. Wade’s a sweet little boy.
Kai: He sat down long enough for you to do that?
Prosperity: He did
Kai: How’d you get him to do that?
Prosperity: Grandmas have their ways.
It must be true because Me-Me and I can barely get him to sit still long enough to finish a meal.
I leave ma to her work and go upstairs to find Dub fast asleep in his bed.
