Locked to suffers_vertigo | Dinner and a show.

Arnold moved about the large kitchen in his spacious Manhattan apartment as he head a million times before. Though instead of cooking for one, as he so often did. He was doubling up his ingredients because tonight, he had company

It was one of the only good things about staying in a hotel while back on Earth, it was easy to get cabs and directions to places you wanted to go. That and room service. But travel had become easier between Earth and Atlantis now so shore leave wasn't hard to obtain.

She showered, shaved and got herself ready, after all stubble was never a good thing and he would be getting very close and personal with her. Jennifer dressed in a simple black dress and knee high boots. It would do just what he'd wanted, easy to just push up out of the way while still leaving it on.

The cab was on time and soon she was driving down the streets towards Arnold's apartment. Once there she was greeted and told exactly where to go. Once outside his door she straightened her dress and checked her face in her pocket mirror. It had been a long time since Jennifer had felt this nervous. But reaching up she knocked, and then she waited.

As he heard a knocking on the door he dropped the sauce he had just been tasting beside the large pot and wiped his hand on a towel he had draped over the dark purple dress shirt he had on. Black pinstripes lined neatly down it that matched his dark black pants. Placing it back on that thin shoulder before taking a quick look over everything, making sure everything was neat and orderly before he moved to the door, opening it for his guest with a smile

Smiling back, Jennifer let her eyes give him a quick once over before looking back up at him. At least he was nice on the eyes, she wasn't a shallow person and looks weren't everything, but they helped sometimes. In a situation like this they were a bonus. After all, she was letting an almost complete stranger learn and teacher her how to push her own buttons

It might be vain, but Arnold prized himself on looking good. He wasn't overly caring, but he made sure that he looked half way decent at all times. It was important for his job, the last thing you wanted was someone who looked sleazy and unrepresentable to be trying to sell adult novelties.

"I realized I should have given you my number just in case, and I would have come to pick you up, but I just put my car away in a lifted lot because my boss is getting me a company car." He usually would have been the one to do all that, but it was hard to pull a car down from lifted lots once there. If they were there they were meant to be there for a while. "Next time, if we happen to have one of those, I'll be sure to pick you up." He nodded, and took the bag she held out for him gratefully opening his large fridge, which was surprisingly empty and placing it inside with a soft thank you as he closed the door and ushered her into the dining room pulling out one of the chairs for her and waiting until she sat.
