Chapter 6

The next evening, Reese could not stop herself from smiling as she stepped off of the subway, skipped down the necessary two blocks and finally arrived at the locked, doors of Per Se. She wrapped on the heavy wood with a strength that was beyond her. Frank swiftly shifted his gaze from the restaurant reservation book that he was examining. Through the thick glass, Reese could see the look of bewilderment on his face as he came around the hostess stand and unlocked the door. “Did you get layed?” He asked with an invasive tone.

Reese grimaced and pushed past him into the empty restaurant. “No. Why would you say that?”

He shrugged as he returned to his perch in front of the books. “Because you're glowing.”

She furrowed her brow in confusion, but couldn't help but feel flattered in spite of herself. It was true, in the last two weeks since she had started dating Daniel, she found herself waking up in the morning and actually being excited about the day ahead. She had been taking extra care to put on make-up in the morning and sometimes even took a straightener to her uncontrollable hair. The heavy weight that was her failure to gain funding for her project had been lifted and replaced with perseverance and hope that she would eventually find another way to make the dream of her research proposal come true. Reese couldn't really place it, but she felt lighter, like, somehow life for her was so much easier with Daniel. And even thinking things that way scared her because she had only known him for a couple of weeks anyway, and they came from such different worlds. Him a well to do Caucasian male, who was given every advantage in life since birth, from the best private school education to a massive network of connections. And her, a strong black woman, who had to struggle and work several side jobs to be able to put herself through school and make a better life for herself. Yet, the fact of the matter was that with him, she felt more like herself than she had ever. “I'm sorry, is that a bad thing?” She asked.

Frank rolled his eyes. “Go start your cut work. We're opening in like thirty minutes.”

Reese shrugged and hopped down the back hallway and into the harsh, fluorescent lighting of the kitchen. By the time she had gotten half way through cutting lemon wedges, Maria skipped into the kitchen, her long, freshly blown out hair flying about her air-brushed-looking face. “Hey girl! How ya been?” She asked, her ruby red lips stretching into a smile.

Reese shrugged, barely able to contain her own excitement. “I've been... good.” She said as she shifted her gaze to the lemons and pursed her lips to prevent herself from smiling wider than a jack-in-the-box.

Maria snatched a knife from the shelf above Reese then nudged her playfully. “I can see right through your beautiful caramel skin, honey.”

“I don't know what you're talking about.
