Pastry Chef Sheya - Volume 1 Chapter 25 Fireworks And A Kiss
The name of Carl’s friend is Jon. They were flat mates back in law school but he failed the licensure exam twice and he decided to try his luck on real estates. Everything paid off in the end, he got really lucky and is now one of the top agents in their city.
“Nice to meet you Sheya. Listen up, I know it has been a stressful time for you since Carl told me you’ve been having tough times since you landed here in Israel especially now that we are stuck here for a while. I will take you to my favourite restaurant. It’s a gem! I eat there like 3x a day since I arrived here. My treat! ” Jon exclaimed.
Both Carl and Sheya were quiet during the entire time they were sitting inside the cab. They barely spoke to each other.. except for some glances..
They arrived at the restaurant and Jon ordered the dishes for them. For appetiser, they had Israeli salad which was a mixture of fresh chopped tomatoes, cuc.u.mbers, onions, bell peppers and sprinkled with lemon juice, olive oil, tahini and zaatar. It was so fresh and tasty, truly a delight to start the next dish of Falafel balls. These are deeply fried chickpeas, favs beans or both, wrapped by pita.
The next dish they had was the iconic Middle Eastern cuisine called the Kebab. It is made up of chopped lambs, onions, parsley and other herbs while they refreshed their selves with fresh Pomegranate juices which were considered the healthiest beverage in Israel and red wine to chill after a heavy and hearty meals.
It was indeed a feast of the senses with added live harmonica playing on the background.
And at last, Carl finally talked to Sheya..
Carl: Thank you for joining us… I hope you are having a great time.
Sheya: A very good time indeed. Everything was superb. Thank you both for your generosity.
Jon called them to join him at the balcony where there were live fireworks. As the people squeezed and gathered to watch the display, some couples kissed, some hugged each other. Sheya and Carl got a little uncomfortable but they couldn’t hide the attraction that they were starting to feel for each other. Carl removed his tuxedo and put it on Sheya.
With several glasses of wine at the balcony, they held each other and kissed..
Is it the start of an exotic romance.. Or they would ignore each other in the morning because they were just drunk? Is this the end of Toby’s chance to rekindle the their old flames?
Let’s see..
