PART TWO

"IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED in making up for last week, I'm willing to reschedule the class," Mel said as she stood in the front of the room with the ingredients of the night's lesson spread out before her. "If not I have the recipe available at the back of the room."

She scanned the room again hoping to find Yancy's tall form in the crowd, but so far she was a no show. After calling her a few times during the week to try and get in touch with her about their botched outing, she still hadn't gotten a return call. If there was any doubts as to whether Yancy was still upset with her, the fact that she wasn't there confirmed them for her.

"Tonight we're making something different with more of an international flare so you can impress your friends the next time you have them over for dinner.

"If you have any friends that is," Yancy joked from the back of the room.

Mel whipped her head up so fast she had to hang on to the counter. "We'll go on the assumption that most of us do." She pointed at Yancy then crooked her finger to make her step forward. "And since you spoke up first you can help me out tonight. We're making Cuban peccadillo with plantain casserole everyone, so let's get started."

It didn't take long to put the dish together so the class broke off into groups to talk while it cooked. At the front Mel just stared at Yancy for awhile not saying anything.

"Something you're just dying to say?" Yancy asked.

"Why didn't you call me back?"

When Yancy smiled it made Mel sigh. "Considering you think I'm a self-centered egotist, why would I?"

"I didn't say that."

"What conversation were you involved in?"

"What was it you said about people who answer every question with a question? What are you hiding, Dr. Yancy?"

Yancy put her hand on her chest and opened her eyes as wide as she could. "Me trying to hide something?"

"It's worse than I thought. You like me and you don't want me to know it." Mel had her hand captured by one of Yancy's before she could slap her across the stomach.

When Yancy bent down and whispered in Mel's ear, she didn't miss the way it made Mel shiver. "Even if I like you, I'd be sadly disappointed."

Mel swallowed hard when she looked into Yancy's light gray eyes. "Why would you think that?" She answered in a whisper then glanced to where Yancy was pointing discreetly.

The sight at the end of Yancy's finger was of a male student who had his pants hitched just a little too far up, his shirt appeared to be polyester and he was valiantly trying to start a conversation with the woman closest to him. From the set of her shoulders and the way her eyes were glued to her pot lid both Mel and Yancy could tell she wasn't buying.

"I'd think you'd be more interested in lover boy over there."

The shiver Mel experienced this time had nothing to do with pleasure.
