"Why aren't you going home?" Sally asked.
They had left the barbeque but instead of going to Storm's home, he drove to her apartment.
"You're taking my car to the interview tomorrow," Storm said as he parked.
"Storm, I told..."
"Spend the next few days with me, please," he asked turning to her. "I want to spend time with you and not just on the weekend."
"But that's going to inconvenience you," Sally argued back.
"Let me worry about that." He put his finger over her lips to stop her from speaking. "I want you to spend a few days with me. Take me to work before your interview and stop trying to come up with reasons to deny my offers other than you're scared."
Sally looked down at her hands. To her they were shaking but they didn't seem to move. "Are you sure about this?"
"Yes, very. I'll help you pack."

Sally came out of the bathroom wearing a navy blue pin-striped suit. The single breasted jacket and matching pencil skirt with a split in the back, stopped just above her knees. She paired it with a pair of round toe black pumps and a light blue shirt. Her hair was pulled back into a bun at the base of her neck and the only jewelry she wore were a pair of simple small hoops.
Storm pulled her into in his arms as she passed by him. "You look sexy."
"I can't wear this?" Sally asked worriedly.
"You look beautiful. It's a perfect business suit and you look ready for the interview. As a matter of fact, if I didn't know you were going for an interview as a scientist, I would think you were interviewing for the position of Executive Director. "
"You're only saying that because we're dating," she said trying to turn away.
"No, I'm not. Stop being nervous, you're going to be great. Now get your things. I don't want you to be late."
Storm came out of the car and waited for Sally to get into the driver's seat. "You're going to be fine. Don't worry."
She smiled. "Do...do you...I mean, if you're..."
Storm smiled, "Spit it out, just say it."
"I was wondering if you would like to, that's if you have the time or want to..." she sighed, "do you...would you like to have lunch with me? I know you're busy..."
He laughed. "Stop...I would love to but I already have plans. Stop by anyway because I should be finished early."
"Okay, thanks again. Bye."

"Ayasha, were you sleeping?" Storm asked when Ayasha answered the phone.
"Yes, this baby makes me sleep a lot. What's up I'm awake."
"Do you think Sally would like drawers closer to the bathroom or the side of the bed she sleeps on?"
Ayasha sat up immediately, becoming fully awake. "She's moving in? You're moving her in?"
"No, but I want her to spend more time with me and it would be easier for her if she left some of her things there don't you think."
"Yeah, if that's what you want. She may want the drawers by her side of the bed. How many drawers are you talking about?"
"I don't know; three on that side of the room. What type of body washes do you think she would like? She's not a very overly floral person...I want to get her something nice so she can have bubble baths."
"Why don't you take her to get the things that she likes?"
"She going to give me a hard time if I do that but if it's there already, then she'll have to use them."
"Storm, Sally isn't very fussy. I think it would be best if we went shopping with her to get the things that she needs."
"She's going to refuse it."
"Why?"
"Because she doesn't want me to buy anything for her."
"Why?"
