For some reason the dumb locks seemed to take longer to open and for the first time Moon cursed their apparent complexity until the final one came undone. It was then that she looked up at the man on the other side of the glass and just then that she caught his smile. It made her pause for a minute before she could grip the handle and pull open the door.
Uncharacteristically, Moon was a little stuck. She didn’t have a clue why this particular moment and this particular meeting were causing it but sure enough, the woman was briefly silent. Instead her eyes kept on him, in that split second she suddenly and very visibly shook her head. “Um, hey sorry come on in…” She drifted off and turned to begin locking up once again. This gave her the opportunity to silently curse herself and try to gain the composure she apparently needed. After a deep breath she turned around, and yes, of course he was still there. Of course he looked good.
Losing her sanity for a moment, Moon was certain if he looked at her in just the right away or stepped closer even by an inch, she’d have to blame being cooped up in her office for her next move.
Laughing, Jae shook his head as she apologized and finally got the door open. The young chef didn’t think anything of it, weirder things have happened. Still. There was an electric charge to the air just then that he couldn’t ignore. Jae had come to enjoy Moon’s company over time. He looked forward to their meetings. Whether they met up to brainstorm different menu ideas or to just hang out and grab a drink, neither matter to him. He wanted to be near her, and continue to see the inner workings of her mind. The door to her cafe, on the other hand, seemed to have other ideas. “If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you had changed your mind.” He teased, Sticking close by, his smile curled easily at his lips as he finally took her in. For someone who had been cooped up all day, Moon certainly didn’t look it. And maybe he had let his guard down and allowed himself to check her out. Jae appreciated her beauty and had no qualms about letting that be known. Usually, he would’ve been a little more tactful about it. Not tonight.
