Janie went back into the kitchen with her finished glass of wine.
"Did all the exploring yourself?"
"Yeah."
"Sorry. I really wanted to show you around myself."
"I think I'm capable."
"Well, you are new at this yacht stuff."
"There he goes." Janie thought. "There's no way he'll want to sleep with me."
Logan placed the salty soup first. "Tomato and crab soup first. You already got a taste of this so you know what to expect. I'm not that great of a chef so yeah, dig in."
Logan sat down and watched as Janie took her first sip. "I already know what this tastes like, you don't have to look that intently."
"Just wanted to make sure you actually like it."
"Well, I don't like it but it works."
"Is it bad? Be honest."
"Let's just say if some other girl was in my spot she wouldn't think you're hot anymore."
"Oh, it's that bad. I mean you fixed it."
"I barely fixed it."
"Fine. You want the next course?"
"Do I have a choice?"
He brought out the plate. There was a mess going on on the plate. "This is a seafood pasta."
"We'll being eating a lot of seafood today aren't we?"
"Yeah. I kinda went out to catch everything for today." Logan said softly.
"What?"
"Yeah, there's a bunch of seafood in there."
"Okay. Like what?"
"Scallops, lobster, and clams."
Janie took a bite. It was worse but she didn't want to be mean and ruin Logan's efforts. "Mmmm."
"Good?"
"Much better than the soup."
"Good to hear."
Logan took a bite. "Bleh!" He spit everything out. "It's just so bad! How could this be good? You know what? Let's just eat the dessert." Logan grabbed Janie's plate and his and dumped the food in the trash.
"You didn't have to be nice and force yourself to eat it."
"Well, you made a lot of effort didn't you?"
"It's okay. Let's eat the ice cream." He went back in the kitchen and grabbed the tub of ice cream. "I had to cheat with this one."
"Let's it on the sun deck."
"Okay. We could watch the sunset since we finished dinner early."
Logan went out first with the wine bottle and glasses and Janie followed with two spoons and the tub of ice cream. They both sat down and dug into the ice cream.
"Sorry, you'll have to go hungry. Your first experience with fine dining and this yacht was botched by my cooking. I should've hired a chef."
Janie ignored him and downed her glass of wine.
"You look beautiful today in your dress."
Janie didn't say anything but stuff her mouth with ice cream.
"It's so beautiful out too. Oh! The sun is going down."
Janie looked up and watched as the sky got darker from the pink and orange. Logan looked at Janie as she was enjoying the view. "She actually looks beautiful tonight." He thought.
Janie looked back the tub of ice cream, but before she could she caught Logan's gaze. Her heart beat fast and she blushed again. "This ice cream is good." She said to get him out of his gaze.
"Oh, yeah. You can't go wrong with Haagen Dazs." Janie smiled and continued shoveling the ice cream out.
