"NO CHEATING GOING ON here, I promise. I made it all myself." He uncorked the bottle and handed me an elegant glass of golden white wine. "Oh, sorry, is white okay?" he added, realising he hadn't enquired in my taste in wine before pouring.

"Yeah, it's fine, thanks. Ah'll drink most things ta be honest. So, what are we having ta eat then? It smells good, whatever it is." And it certainly did, I hadn't realised quite how hungry I was until the rich, warm smell of cooking tomatoes and garlic had flooded my nostrils.

"Nothing fancy I'm afraid, just a lasagne. But I did make it all myself, so I hope you like it."

Pulling on a battered old pair of flowery oven gloves that I suspected his mother might have left behind, Jesse pulled a ceramic dish out of the oven, full to the brim with white sauce and molten, bubbling cheese; beneath which I knew would be layers of pasta and bolognese style meat sauce. It looked just as good as it smelled.

"Wow, color meh more impressed. So, where did ya learn ta cook?"

Jesse grinned, pleased with himself. I knew it never hurt to stroke a man's ego a little when you were aiming to try and charm something out of him, and Jesse's cooking skills seemed to be something he was particularly proud of.

He shrugged, "From books, mum showed me a thing or two, but mostly just a hell of a lot of practice. When I first moved out I could barely make a thing, except maybe toast, so Nick and I lived on fast-food, but after a while we started to get sick of it. So, it was either learn to cook, or say goodbye to my abs forever."

I had to laugh. It was entirely false to think that some men didn't suffer the same worries and concerns about their bodies as a lot of women. Much in the same way, some cared much more than others. Though I suspected, by Jesse's teasing tone and flirtatious smirk, that he made the comment more for my reaction than out of a hangup about body image.

"Well, ah think you chose the right path."
