If You Met Me First...
Double Date's?

Seafood Restaurants in Maine....

"Thea? You went with Hugo Melker?" Apsarini looked at the handsome man sitting at the table with Thea.

"Yes. Before you panic, it's purely out of work." Thea said. "Mr Melker, this is my cousin Apsarini Neville and that's our distant cousin Shane O'Grady... Wait for... Why are you two together?"

"We also took Thea's vacation. Don't panic like Sari" Shane chuckled as he approached Thea and Hugo. "Sari, come. I'm just dumb..."

Apsarini looked at Shane. "Huh ? Oh... " The girl approached Thea and hugged each other. "Are you guys dating?" whispered.

"You alone?" reply Thea. The two girls looked at each other and shook their heads together. "Oh my God" said the two of them making the two men who were with them look at the two beautiful girls confused.

"Hello, I'm Shane O'Grady" said Shane as he extended his hand to Hugo.

"Hugo Melker's. O'Grady... O'Grady Beer?" ask Hugo.

"Yes. So, you're the writer? How's the case going?" Shane gave the code to the waiter.

"Yes Mr O'Grady?" ask the waiter.

"Can his table be made one? Turns out my cousin is here too" Shane pinta.

"Certinally. No problem Mr. O'Grady." The waiter put the two tables together.

"Thank you" Shane smiled.

"No problemo, sir." The servant also resigned.

"How can you be known at this restaurant?" asked Hugo and the four sat together with the position of two men facing two women.

"Beer O'Grady is one of the beers supplied to this restaurant. And of course the owner knows me as well as his men because I come here almost once a month to check the response of visitors" Shane replied without intending to boast.

"Unless Beer O'Grady is known for his quality because his own CEO intervened to check himself" said Hugo who saluted the way Shane maintained and paid attention to the quality of his beer.

"We had some ups and downs in business. In the past, we were almost bankrupt... Seriously. But thanks to the help of the Blair and McCloud families, we were able to survive and move on until now" Shane smiled. (Read My Rey ).

"And there was a marriage merger between Blair and O'Grady?" Hugo looked at the blue-eyed man.

"Inadvertently but well, Oma Kaia and Opa Rhett are indeed a match ... Although originally betrothed.." muttered Shane.

"Our family is a hodgepodge" Thea said.

"Yeah, I can see that" Hugo replies to Thea.

"So, how did you get together?" ask Apsarini to Hugo and Thea.

"I forced Thea to come here on vacation. He's been working hard for me and a lot of cases he's been working on... So it's good that I take the lawyer I'm refreshing" Hugo replied as he looked gently at Thea.

Shane and Apsarini saw it looking at each other.

"I wanted to hibernate in the apartment but Mr. Melker forced me here and said there was a nice seafood menu" Thea replied trying to calm down but Apsarini's meaningful gaze made her nervous.

"Delicious indeed. This is try first" Shane bargained while letting Hugo and Thea take the seafood party that has come. "Please wait for your order."

Hugo took an oyster and gave a lemon over it. "Try this Thea. Really good !" The man put the oyster on Thea's plate.

Thea took the oyster and ate it from its shell. The girl's face looked surprised and gave the code okay with her thumb and forefinger.

"See, I'm not lying" Hugo smiled.

"Have you ordered food?" ask Shane.

"Yet. We had a chat earlier" chuckled Hugo. Shane called the waiter and recorded Hugo's order.

Apsarini whispered to Thea who was sitting next to her. "I think Hugo has a crush on you !"

Thea looked at Apsarini. "But... His wife just passed away, Sari."

"Remember Thea, his wife betrayed him so Hugo immediately shut down everything about Salsabila. She's moved on, Thea. And he likes you." whispered Apsarini seriously.

"i know's. But ... " Thea's reddened face made Apsarini gawk.

"Nooooo." said the beautiful blue-eyed girl.

"On New York .. "Apsarini replied with a sweet smile to Shane.

"What's wrong with New York?" ask Hugo to Thea's cousin.

"Family matters, Mr. Melker" replied Apsarini sweetly.

"Where are you staying?" ask Thea.

Shane mentioned the name of his cottages to Hugo and Thea's surprise.

"Same kok?" hugo and Thea said at the same time.

"Wait, the car with the New York license plate, that dark blue SUV is your car?" exclaim Apsarini with a restrained tone.

"We're next door!" the four of them shouted and afterwards the four laughed out loud.

"Oh my God, Maine is this big we can stay next to each other!" gelak Thea does not believe events that others consider ridiculous but do happen.

"This is ridiculous ... No, this is hilarious (ludicrous )" chuckles Hugo.

"Can this be Sari?" shane smiled towards Apsarini.

"The evidence can be Shane" Apsarini replied.

"Are you two dating?" ask Hugo to Shane and Apsarini.

"No" replied Apsarini.

"Not yet" Shane replied simultaneously making the two take a look.

"It seems that they're both dating, Thea" said Hugo. "You fit in."

"Don't be a stove, Mr. Melker" Apsarini said, squinting his eyes.

"Lho is a good stove. Why not?" sahut Hugo's. "In fact, we're like double dates without any appointments."

"We're not double date, Mr. Melker!" thea and Apsarini said together to make Shane laugh.

"Yes my... You are cousins ! The same compact !" gelak Shane's.

"Shane, please. We're not on a double date !" pinta Apsarini's.

"Sari, I'm single, you're single, Hugo's widower, Thea's single... So? No one is protesting, either. Unless one of us still has a legitimate partner. There's come trouble." said Shane.

"Mirhane !" exciting Apsarini.

"I'm telling you the truth, aren't I?"

The four of them stopped talking as the waiter brought Hugo the order. Afterwards the four of them chat about their respective work and Apsarini feels regret because Hugo does not want to divulge who the killer in his novel.

"Must read, Miss Neville. That's not the concept" Hugo chuckled.

"If I want to know to the point so I can sleep well." Apsarini murmured while manyun.

"Where does his art know right away, Sari?" timpal Shane's.

"Let's do it..."

Thea laughed at seeing her cousin manyun. "Read it Sari. It's exciting."
