Mina understood most of what Tarek said and chalked the rest off to not having learned the translations of the words yet.   His kiss though didn't need any translating and she grinned as he pulled back following him into the kitchen.   She watched him prepare first the Brussel sprouts, only asking after he had put them in the pan what it was he was frying them with.  She didn't quite understand bacon grease yet but she nodded anyway watching as he moved on to the salmon.<br/><br/><strong>"Do you like Salmon raw?  .. mmm We, my people eat with rice.  We call it '<em>sushi</em>'" </strong>She said it in English since she didn't know the translation for Sushi yet or if there was such a term. It was shockingly fast the way he cooked the salmon and it made her wonder if all fish was that easy to cook.   Mina had never taken any kind of initiative in cooking, rather she had been a spoiled child as her mother made her three meals a day.   She was more nervous about eating the Brussel sprouts, she'd tried them many years prior and to Mina they had tasted like dirt.
