Eve had washed her bikini in the sink of the en-suite bathroom in Gray's room and left it on the side of the bath before quickly changing out of the leggings and vest she'd first put on after Gray had selected them for her. She had showered after the pool and Jacuzzi but decided to change for dinner having not taken clean clothes with her to the gym, unlike Gray who had appeared at the reception of the gym wearing dark blue, almost black jeans, a dark blue and white stripy t-shirt and dark Converse pumps, the same clothes he still wore.

Eve slipped on an above knee, sea green dress with large, brightly coloured flowers on it. It was probably more suitable for taking on holiday than dinner with its elasticated bodice and full skirt, but it was comfortable. She pulled her hair loosely into a clip, holding it at the nape of her neck. Her hair pulled back and the dress gave the illusion that she was wearing a necklace with the brown wooden ring and beads attached to the bodice of her dress and strings that fastened behind her neck, adorned with brown and sea green beads. Slipping on a pair of brown leather flip flops that coincidently had a wooden ring detail, Eve decided she was ready for dinner.

Returning to the empty kitchen, Eve switched on the hi-tech radio and began to throw some salad leaves into a bowl until a tune from her uni days came on the radio, a song that she and Sally used to dance to. Smiling, she turned up the volume and began to sing along and dance as she chopped cucumber and peppers until she felt hands on her hips, spinning her around, pulling her into warm arms that danced her around the kitchen.

“I think I should disarm you, just in case I step on your toes,” Gray told her tossing the knife she still held behind her, sliding it across the worktop before dancing her back towards the salad and the steak he'd earlier removed from the fridge while she laughed and giggled. “Medium, you said, right?” He pointed towards the steak as he drizzled some oil into the pan.

“Please.” Eve reached for the chips that Gray had returned with wrapped in paper.

Smacking her hand gently, he shook his head with a grin. “No snacking before dinner. Leave them and go and sit down or something before I start thinking about coming home and finding you shaking your sexy arse in my kitchen. In fact,” he said as an afterthought, “open the wine, the red, please.”

“I don't really do red, remember?” she asked.

“Trust me, you'll like this one, it's nice and smooth,” he assured her.

“Like you?” she asked with a wry smile.

“If you say so, now open the wine woman,” he ordered, making her laugh, something she hadn’t done much of in recent months and now, with Gray she was doing more of it. She liked it, a lot and she could certainly get used to this, the domestic, mundane tasks of washing and cooking, with Gray.
