Chapter 5
Takashi looked at his watch once more, waiting for Legacy to walk into the steakhouse. When her and her cousins finally walked in, an expression of relief crossed his face. "Hey, sorry I was late. Someone took forever to get ready." she explained, motioning over to Astrid. "It is hard work to be this hot!" Astrid said teasingly. "So I guess you didn't have to work so hard, huh?" Averie teased, Astrid glaring at her as she pouted. Legacy laughed, Takashi smiling. "You're both pretty. Stop it." he said charmingly, Legacy smiling. "But we all know I'm prettier." Averie said softly, Astrid looking at her. "If you're prettier, than so am I. We're twins for Christ sakes!" Astrid said, Legacy laughing again. They all sat down, looking over the menus. "So how was work?" Legacy asked Takashi, smiling at him dearingly. "Oh, it was fine. Boss was a usual pain in my ass...but it was all for good measure, I suppose. Being that did get promoted." Takashi explained casually, Legacy gasping loudly. "Oh my god, really?! That's great, baby!" she yelled happily, hugging and kissing him repeatedly as he smiled, kissing her back. "I am now executive CEO of the firm and I feel like I earned it. Looks like all of those dry, very dry may I add, parties I had to attend and boring lectures and meetings I had to sit through finally paid off." Takashi explained happily. "That's great! We need to celebrate. Hm...oh! Let's get like a lot of chocolate desserts! And wine." Astrid suggested happily, Averie laughing softly. "Sounds like a great idea!" Takashi said in between laughter. They ordered their food, the occasional laughing and odd conversations happening at their table, giving their waiters and servers something to talk about back at their homes.
