The first thing Dante noticed was the look in Naya’s eyes then the bruise on her arm. Someone had hurt his wife! Instead of asking her who, he brought her inside his hotel room, picked her up set her on the bathroom counter and gently applied tiger balm to the bruise. The flip flops laid abounded in front of the door. After slathering the bruise with tiger balm and a good amount of Neosporin, he felt a lot better.

Dante helped Naya down from the counter checked her once over with his eyes and assumed that whoever her attacker was had suffered worse than Naya. She hoped she had kicked them in the genitals, or punched them in the boobs.

Dante had been just about to head out the door to come get her. He was freshly showered with his hair gelled into spikes, he was wearing a black tank top with army printed cameo shorts that had plenty of pockets, and black combat boots. A peak of his tattoo could be seen curling up his shoulder and curling around his left biceps.

With a smile he grabbed Naya’s hand and guided her to his car, where he took her to his favorite place to eat in LA.

It was a Dim Sung restaurant called Wolf Fang. The place early in the morning wasn't packed. The hostess seated Dante and Naya in a table off to the side. The table was huge use to sitting more quests. As soon as they were seated the morning rush came in. Business men were placed next to janitors, and street walkers. In a Dim Sung restaurant people were seated in places that were free. This resulted in being able to seat more customers. Carts pushed by Asian women or men shouted out their carts contents. A customer would have to get the cart pushers attention to get food, than the cart pusher would write down how much they got on a ticket.

Dante had years mastering the sport, like all the other sports he liked it required speed, timing, and skill.

Sure enough a variety of food was settled before Naya and Dante while the other customers at their table only had a couple items. Picking up his chopsticks he showed Naya how to use hers. The two enjoyed grilled fish, meat, vegetables, and noodles, and even Dante’s favorite steamed buns. This he showed to Naya with great excitement. The bun he had scored where peach buns, almond buns, and pork buns. He had shown the pretty pink bun to Naya and had broken it in half giving the other half to Naya. The food was delicious, after paying for both of them. Dante took Naya for coffee.

The two went across the street to a Vietnamese place and after taking to the waitress got a table away from the chatter of the restaurant. Dante ordered to Vietnamese ice coffees. The drink was a sweet blended drink of coffee, sugar, and milk. It came with whipped cream and chocolate sauce on top.

He ordered to smalls knowing from experience that the drink was really sweet, and to much could make one sick.

Dante started off the discussion by asking what Naya wanted to do. Dante wasn’t in school his, he worked from home, and he had a big salary already, a house, and a car. He was able to pick up and move when he wanted to. Naya on the other hand was a student and only visiting LA. She didn'’t have the funds or the time to move. It was agreed upon that Dante would move in with Naya. Naya’s plane also left today.

The two agreed upon meeting again in a week. Dante needed to pack up some stuff, nothing much since Naya lived in a small two bedroom apartment, with no roommate. He also needed to inform his job of his move and marriage (added health care benefits for the spouse.) He wasn’t ready to tell his mom yet. He feared what Chung-Ho would say. He would wait until he was sure that he and Naya would still be together. He mentioned this to Naya.

So after walking around LA’s shopping districts Dante took Naya back to her room (helped her pack and clean up again) then took her to the airport.

Before she left he held her hands tightly. Looking up into her eyes (because the woman just had to be taller than him) he kissed her forehead. It was light and quick. He gave her a crushing hug lifting her up off the ground a little bit before placing her back down.

“Naya I’ll see you in a week, I promise I’ll come.” With a week and another squeeze Dante was off back to his own house. He had already checked out of his hotel before they left. Once home he began packing a suitcase and things he would need and things Naya said she just didn’t have in her apartment, like a vacuum. Who didn’t have a vacuum?!

Dante’s didn’t live in LA he lived a couple hours’ drive away. His house was apart of Ocean Breeze beach homes. The private neighborhood had play trees with coconuts on the block. Each house was different from the next. Dante’s house was a modern house with black sidings and brick. The inside was spacious and wide with four bedrooms and a finished basement. The kitchen was an open floor plan. The floors where bleached wood with a heating and cooling system under the floors. The appliances where modern black and stainless steel. Everything had the same design of modern, black, and bleached wood. The only rooms that weren’t like that where Dante’s work room and his own room, the work room was a bright blue with dark wood furniture, and all his art supplies, while Dante’s rooms were a light blue with white wood, and white fuzzy carpet. The kitchen opened on to a patio that lead to a crystal blue pool.

Dante covered the pool with the automatic pool lock and locked it, so no annoying teens could skinny dip in his pool. He made sure a friend would come and check on his house and plants once a day. This friend was having a ugly fight with his current girlfriend and would be moving into Dante’s house temporarily. The friend Louise was clean and organized just like Dante, so Dante didn’t have to worry about a messy house when he came back.

Dante alerted security for the neighborhood that he would be leaving for a while and his friend was staying in the house. (He had to fill out forms and give a picture of the friend.) He alerted his job of the change, and called all friends who would need to know. His mother was on a two month long business meeting in Paris and he would tell her when she got back.
Dante packed all the work supplies he would need into his car and all the clothes he would need. He also grabbed needed things like his shades, favorite stripped pj’s and, his favorite comforter. Once packed he head straight for Naya. The drive would be long.

Here I come!

After a two day drive Dante arrived earlier than he though. He found the spare key under the mat that Naya told him about and walked in to find….

A complete disaster! Almost hyperventilating and the horrible mess…

With his skills with messes Dante had Naya’s apartment organized and neat in an hour. He had cleaned out the second bed room and had filled it with his things. He was surprised after cleaning up to find tasteful wooden floors. He had found a desk in his room and had organized the desk with stick on labels of were things go. His room was spacious without all the mess. The small amount of things he brought filled up the space nicely.

When he went to make lunch later he found nothing in her fridge. That promoted at trip to the grocery store. The fridge contained healthy and junk food now. He made a grilled chicken salad and left the left overs for Naya whenever she got back. He decided to work in the living room using one of the sofa cushions as a seat he worked at the coffee table on his work.

He had texted and left a voice mail on Naya’s phone telling her that he was here.
