Welcome to Gaia! ::

Another signal and their last orders were made, Lance getting the palmagranade gelatio with italian dughnuts. "now, do i get your number now or do i have to wait until we finish eating?" he asked, resting his elbow on the table and his chin on his hand as he looked at Tim. "are you on Facebook? we could be friends on there too."

Daren rolled his eyes a little, "he spams recipes and usually bashes them or rewrites them. i've got some good ones from it, though. if you want your dash to be covered in amazing looking food, friend away."

"I'll do you one better." Lance pulled out his phone and got it to the New Contact screen before handing it over, "go ahead and put it in like that. this way i won't accidentally wash it off. give me your phone and i'll put mine in at the same time."

"You do as well. very nice." he filled out the usual info, nme, number, email, etc. and gave the phone back. "new, i'm assuming. otherwise you really need to get more than just Daren and my numbers."

Daren shrugged, "nothing wrong with that. he's got the numbers to food and home, sounds about right to me."

Daren smiled at that, "and you always will be." their desserts arrived and he happily cracked the layer of melted sugar on top of the dessert to get the yummy filling. "i love this stuff."

Lance smiled a little at Daren's words. Tim was already in the man's family, which made him wonder how Tim felt about Daren. "yes, sweety, we know you do. I hope you enjoy yours, Tim."

Daren shrugged, "tarts are good, but i like creme brule better. if yous tar making creme brule, that's a different story." he took another small bit of the creamy mixture and winked.

Lance inclined his head, "thank you very much. if you want, i could teach you how to make tarts. i'm sure you would enjoy it."

Lance sat up a bit, "of course you can take my picture, dear!" he ran his hands through his hair, wanting it to look good for the picture, and smiled until Tim gave him the ok. "how was it?" he looked at the picture and nodded, "perfect."

Daren thought Tim would use the picture of him in the glasses, but that didn't matter. he swallowed his bite and wiped his mouth before smiling for his own picture. "hope it's a funny one, then you'll have a reason to smile whenever i call."

Lance preened, "why thank you, dear. now, sadly, i must return to work." he drank the last of his wine and kissed Tim on the lips, "until next time." he got up and sat across Daren's lap, kissing him for longer than he'd kissed Tim, only breaking away when Daren pushed at his shoulders. they were both flushed and breathing a little heavily when he stood up and adjusted his suit. "ta!" he waved, grinning, as he left for the back.

Daren let out a breath and smiled a little at Tim, "let's get our check and we'll head to your exhibit. ok?' the check was left at the table. on it was a note from Lance.

Daren looked at the check and rolled his eyes, muttering, "no wonder he slipped me the tongue." he left a tip for the waiter anyways and straightened his jacket, "well, that was generous of him. i'm curious what he's going to want in return. with Lance, nothing is free, not entirely. though the kisses might have been payment enough for him. Who's driving to the gallery?" he asked as they walked out.
