4 Couples, Calamari, and a Chair

Lynn and Jason did go out to dinner with her friend, Grace and Grace's man, Kevin.  Lynn and Grace met at Ni'Chalet's, and they just hit it off.   This is their first time out as friends.

Grace selected a small restaurant just on the edge of town.  They have finished dinner and the guys decided to order dessert.  Jason ordered a piece of strawberry shortcake, and Kevin ordered lemon cheesecake.  

Grace is wearing a LIV dress from one of the latest slumber party sets.  She is toting a Stardoll handbag from one of the accessory packs.

"Honey, did you want to taste my cake?" (Jason)
"Looks good, but I am stuffed." (Lynn)

"So Jason, do you ever go to any of the games?" (Kevin)
"I've been to a few, but I'd rather watch from the comfort of home." (Jason)
"I feel you." (Kevin) 

 
Meanwhile, at the other table, Max and Natasha are out on a first date. They are getting ready to sample my newest creation, calamari.

I have to give it to Natasha.  She is always dating some fine man.  I guess she doesn't like to be tied down.  

"So now that you've been here for a couple of months, what do you think of our town?"  (Natasha)
"So far, so good.  I like my job, and everyone seems to be real friendly." (Max)

There's our resident traveling bartender, talking to yet another new resident to Morristown, Laura.  She's in desperate need of a new body.  If she had better articulation, she would be having dinner with Max.  She couldn't get those crazy legs to act right in the booth.  So she's stuck here at the bar. 

"So how do you like the special drink I fixed you?" (bartender)
"It's good.  A little strong, though.  You wouldn't be trying to get me drunk, would you?" (Laura)

"Looks like she forgot my fork."  (Natasha)
"Here, use mine.  It's clean. (Max)
Calamari is supposed to hit the Etsy store soon.  I can't decide whether to sell it loose, or secured to the plate.  It's nice to be able to play with it, but it's a pain to keep up with the pieces.

"See that guy next to us?  He's the head trainer at LA Fitness."  (Kevin whispers)
"Are you going to say hello." (Grace whispers)
"I don't want to disturb his groove." (Kevin)

"You guys interested in hearing some jazz?  There's a nice jazz club in town."  (Kevin)
"Are you talking about The Den?" (Lynn)
"Yes, that's the name." (Kevin)

"That's a nice place.  We'd love to go, but my sister is watching the baby, and I don't want to stay out too late." (Lynn)
"We completely understand.  Just so happens my mom wanted to do a slumber party with her grandkids.  So we have a free night." (Grace)
"That's so cute." (Lynn)

The two couples leave the restaurant and Lynn and Jason make it home around 9:15pm.

"So how was everything?  Did she give you a hard time?" (Lynn) 

"She was great.  You know how much she loves her aunt Kim.  She was all drool and smiles all night." (Kim)
"Good.  Let me check on her and I will give you a ride back to campus." (Lynn)

Lynn looks in on Layla, who is fast asleep.

Jason comes into the room and joins Lynn.

"She's such an angel." (Lynn)
"She reminds me of you when she sleeps." (Jason)
"Really?" (Lynn)
"Once she is sleep, she is out like a light." (Jason)

"And I thought you were calling me an angel." (Lynn)
"I much prefer your devilish side." (Jason)
"Before you start getting comfortable, I have to take my sister home." (Lynn)
"No.  I have to take your sister home.  It's too dangerous for you two to be out there alone.  Besides, if I take her, I will be back in a jiffy.  If you take her, no telling when I would see you." (Jason)
"But honey...." (Lynn)

Before she can complete her sentence, Jason takes her in his arms and gently kisses her on the lips.  How can she argue with him after that.  

They eventually separate and Jason takes Kim back to the dorms.  As promised, he was back in record time.  Layla slept peacefully until about 5am.  A warm bottle, and she went back to sleep until 7:30am.  Jason had left for work at 7am with a smile and a nicely packed lunch.

Asian Flair Chair - This chair will be hitting the Etsy store this afternoon.  Ottoman available upon request.

I'm now a fan of Jason and Lynn and Grace is too cute with Kevin. Max...hubba, hubba...he's FIONE! The bartender is a stunner too! That chair is beautiful! I'm counting down the days 'til I can get my hands on one of your creations. My dolls are fighting already, over who will be the lucky owner. ;)

    1. Tracy - Thanks! There are so many people in Morristown now. It's time to branch out and explore some of the other families. I really like Lynn and Jason. Lynn was just blah until she started interacting with her family.

  2. Ok Jason and Lynn are giving Rod and Danielle a run for their money on romance.
    The crib set is so pretty. I love that color scheme. Only you could see it being used for that.:-)
    You know what, I think that is the best chair you have ever made. You might as well get ready to make more and go ahead and make the ottomans too. LOL
    I vote the calamari be attached to the plate. Makes for easier storage and set up.

    1. Grandmommy - Everyone seems to be getting some romance action in Morristown. It must be something in the air. I would love to take credit for coming up with the crib color scheme, but it is real baby crib fabric. All of the cribs I've done and sold so far, have used real crib fabrics. That is the last of that chair. You know I only make one or two pieces using these type fabrics. I like being unique and having unique pieces. So I like that for my customers, too. That way they know they won't see it showing up all over the place. Thanks for feedback on the calamari. I may compromise and have part of it secured and part of it loose. All of my appetizers so far have been loose so people can really play with it.

    1. Debbie - I will let Lynn know you are available for babysitting duties. Thanks about the chair. Well this is the end of this fabric, so whoever buys this one will be very lucky. I guess I better go list it now.

    1. Verona - I think you may be right, but I don't think either one is ready to settle down. He just got into town, so he will probably want to explore a little more.

  6. Max is a hottie. If his 'personality' matches his looks, Natasha better hold on to him. They make a cute couple.

    1. ZDollCloset - I do like him and Natasha togeter, but they will probably continue to date other people. Maybe they will get serious later. But you never know. They may surprise me and decide to get serious.

    1. Chynadoll - Thanks. Calamari hasn't hit the store yet. Should it be totally loose for ultimate play; partially loose; or completely secured? I guess the men heard about the abundance of ladies here and figured this was a good place to be. I think the ratio is 25 to 1.

    1. Tinisha - Calamari is my favorite appetizer. That is the newest Grace that comes in the pink and green dress. I didn't touch her hair. It is different makeup and hair than the others.

  12. Great story, Jason, Lyn and Layla are a cute family. I love the chair but I really wanted a close-up of the calamari. Don't your couples take photos of their food or is that banned as it is in some restaurants here.

    1. Carricters - Thanks. Sorry I didn't get a closeup. The lighting in this restaurant was mood lighting vs. picture taking lighting. When taking pictures of Max and Natasha, I had a light in one hand, the camera in the other hand, balancing and making sure I didn't knock anything over on Lynn's table. Picture taking can be like gymnastics over here. Once I get it ready for the store, I will get lots of close ups.
