(Pen�s point of view)

Later that night I walked into the house to smell delicious food. I walked into the kitchen to notice that Kevin was cooking some steaks. �About time you came back in. You in the mood for some steak and wine?� He asked as he was setting up two plates.

�Sure. I am pretty hungry.� I replied. We quietly ate at the dinner table, and Kevin kept staring at me. It was something about the look in his eyes that made me wonder about him. I wondered what kind of man he really was inside. I mean as far as I can tell he seemed pretty decent. He wasn�t stuck on himself, and he was really sweet. �What�s wrong?� I asked, �You�re looking at me like you�re trying to read my mind.�

�I�m just wondering what�s going on inside that pretty head of yours. I mean you�ve sort of avoided me all day. You stayed outside on the beach mostly.�

�I just needed some time to think to myself. Plus I was just enjoying the view. It�s rare that I�m on a beach and I�m not working.� I said. Kevin agreed with me, because he says he�s always getting interviewed or doing photo shoots near the beach. �You could have joined me though. I wasn�t avoiding you.�

�I wasn�t sure that�s what you wanted. I didn�t want you to bite me head off or anything.� Kevin said finishing his glass of wine. He then goes into the kitchen to get the bottle of wine. I decided to get up from the table and to walk outside on the deck. I was admiring the sunset. It seemed really beautiful.

�It�s wonderful, right? The sunset is serene.� Kevin said walking from the house and passing me another glass of wine.

�It�s the first time I�ve actually seen you look relaxed. I�m glad that you finally are.� Kevin said.

�Yeah, sorry it took me so long to loosen up.� I said softly.

Kevin pointed to the house and asked. �You want to talk some more while we listen to some music?�

�That sounds like a good idea. Plus I want some ice cream� I said. Kevin escorted me inside of the house. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed the gallon of rocky road that was in the freezer. Kevin followed me and sat down on the counter. He had a goofy look on his face that made me giggle. I took a spoonful of ice cream and walked over to Kevin. �You want a bite?� I asked. Before Kevin could answer however I put a smudge of ice cream across Kevin�s face. I laughed to myself, while Kevin stood there shocked. �Surprised?� I said.

�Yeah. I�m surprised that you wanted to play with me.� Kevin said as he walked towards the freezer. �But since you want to play...� He said as he took some ice cubes out of the freezer �We can play.�

�You wouldn�t dare.�

�Oh but I would...� Kevin said right before dropping an ice cube down my shorts. I screamed in agony and punched Kevin in his chest. Kevin only chuckled and held his chest. �Ouch, you hit pretty hard for someone that�s as petite as you.�

�Well big things come in small packages.� I said as I dumped the gallon of ice cream on top of Kevin�s head. I started to laugh continuously as Kevin stood there dumbfounded. �You look so horrible.� I said, trying to hold back my laughter. Kevin then pulled me close to him and ice cream then covered me. We both stood there from head to toe in rocky road. I shivered a little, and wiped my face off. �Okay, you win.� I said.

�Cool. Is my price licking all of this ice cream off of you?� Kevin said as if he was whispering. I stood there a little shocked, because I was almost willing to let him do that.

�How about we both change and just continue with dinner.�

�That sounds reasonable. I�ll let you shower and change first.� Kevin said as he let me go. I only smiled and walked into the bathroom.
