The Treehouse of the Cove

[Asa]

Well then let's work on it.

Pausing for just a moment to stand there looking into those gorgeous eyes.

 

[Veroe]

I put the rotini in a pot of water and set it to heat.

We'll have some time while the flavors meld before we turn our attention to our steaks, Asa. So how about you mix us up a cocktail or two to enjoy during which I'm sure we can spend the time snuggling up on the couch over there.

 

[Asa]

Smiling and looking through the ever well stocked liquor cabinet and smiled getting the Chambord to make a couple of raspberry martinis

 

[Veroe]

A Martini sounds perfect right about now.

The noodles are boiling and I move to the sink and strain the water out by dumping the pot into a collandor. Next I combine the Rotini with the veggies and give it a good stir drizzling the dressing into it to mix and mingle throughout the salad. That done at last I put the bowl into the fridge to marinate and meld together.

 

[Asa]

Finishing mixing the drinks and turns setting one down beside you.

 

[Veroe]

Thank you for the martini, darling.

I hold my glass to clink the side with yours.

Here's to spending time together again.

I take a sip of the martini and snuggle in close with you.

Delicious drink. We'll tackle those fillets and eat in a little bit, but for now this is perfect.

 

[Asa]

To Saturday's cuddling together.

Taking a sip.

Yes this is nice... The food can wait a bit.

Curling close and kissing at your neck

 

[Veroe]

My free hand curls around you giving you a warm squeeze as I take another sip.

This is very good. You should mix our drinks more often, beautiful.

 

[Asa]

Absolutely love Chambord... Black raspberry and adds such dimensions to drinks.

Curls close head resting against you.

 

[Veroe]

That it does. Like you add dimensions to me.

I give you a kiss on the cheek.

 

[Asa]

Smiling at the kiss then turning to kiss your lips.

And you me...

 

[Veroe]

We kiss eachother, small simple little pecks on eachother's lips unhurried. It was a gesture of passion without the intensity that will come later.

Shall we start on those steaks now or give the salad some more time to mingle in the fridge before we start cooking again?

 

[Asa]

We can go ahead and stat on the steaks love.

Snuggles closer however

 

[Veroe]

After you snuggle in closer.

Well on the other hand the longer we let the salad sit in the fridge the better it will turn out...so...perhaps a few more minutes of this.

Holds you tight in my arms and lays another kiss on you.

 

[Asa]

Hugging you close lost in tender loving kisses.

Yeah...

Softly whispering as we kiss

 

[Veroe]

...Yeah...

I softly agreed giving you a longer sweeter kiss this time.

 

[Asa]

Setting the glass down as the kisses seem to grow softly and slowly.

Such a wonderful day

 

[Veroe]

I set my own martini down next to yours and continue to sprinkle kisses down upon you.

Been a pretty good day so far...a fantastic day off for me.

 

[Asa]

Yeah it has been a wonderful day.

I love this...

 

[Veroe]

Alright I'm getting a little hungry now.

Let's go cook those steaks and chow down, Asa.

 

[Asa]

Sounds great love let's go.

Standing and turning to walk with you back over to the grillplate to begin on the steaks

 

[Veroe]

Taking out the fillets and greasing up the pan again I place each one down and let the high heat begin to sear the outsides.

These are too thick to cook them through this way. So we'll put them in a pan with the compound butter and finish them off in the oven. You mind getting the butter from the freezer, beautiful?

 

[Asa]

Don't mind at all.

Slips over getting the butter.

 

[Veroe]

Thanks, darling.

I turn the fillets over to reveal some beautiful grill marks.

Next, Asa, unroll the butter and get two slices about an inch or so in thickness so we can put it ontop of the fillets when we put them in the oven and the melting butter will baste the steak as it cooks.

 

[Asa]

Cutting the needed pieces and placing the rest back handing you the little plate holding the slices of the frozen butter.
