STORM'S POV

Mitch texted me twenty minutes ago saying that he would be a little late. I sit in the kitchen as Kim gawks on and on about how this was their plan from the start.

"I don't get what you're saying… he's liked me ever since we ran into each other at that restaurant during first year?"

"I think I've said too much," Kim immediately shuts up and walks out of the kitchen in silence. I eye the package of cupcakes on the counter wishing to have one. I stand and contemplate it for a bit to see if I really deserve it. Instead I shake my head no and pour myself a small cup of coffee. As I was adding sugar and cream there was a knock at my door. Crap I thought to myself, I thought I'd have more time. I take one big gulp of coffee and pour the rest down the sink. I find a piece of gum and pop it in my mouth. I head towards the door and even see Kim peer out of her door for a split moment giving me a wink.

"Hey," I greet Mitch as I open the door. "Come in, come in."

"How's it going?" He asked me before going in for a hug. He wraps both arms around me and keeps me in a bear hug for about a minute. "Sorry about that, it's just been a while and I'm glad to see that you're looking well."

"No, I understand," I blush. "And thank-you."

"So are you all set?" he asks.

"Yeah," I cheerfully respond.

"Have you uh…." he trails off.

"Eaten?"

"Yeah," he then blushes. "Look, I don't want to come off like a bitch if I ask you, just know that it's because I really do care about you."

"I've eaten," I reassure him.

"Great," his mood automatically changes. "Then lets get going!"

"Where to?" I start to chuckle at his sudden change of mood.

"You shall have to wait and find out," he grins and leads me out the door.

I walk out to the driveway and around to the passenger side, waiting for him to unlock the door. The car ride was about an hour, I had absolutely no idea where we were going. But I had a feeling that it was going to be a nature day as soon as we left the city. "Well, here we are."

"Where is here?"

"We're going to spend the day in the sun," he exclaims.

"Did you bring sunscreen?"

"But of course I did."

As I watch him gather things up for the day, I hesitate to tell him. I watch intently and that's when he realizes that something is up.

"What's up?"

"I… I uhh," I trail off.

"You know that you can tell me."

"I know, it's just that I may of lied to you this morning," I explain to Mitch as I look away in shame.

"… You didn't eat did you?"

"Not exactly," I confirm.

"That's okay, I have food in the back. Will you eat some of it?"

"Sure," I smile.

"Great, I packed some sandwich's, fruit, and veggies and dip. You know, gotta keep on that health grind… but uhh, I also had a feeling that you didn't so just in case."

With what he said, I couldn't help but smile like an idiot and overall just feel really good inside (butterfly's). "How considerate," I finally manage to say.

"Turkey or ham?"

"Definitely turkey," I immediately respond.

"What's wrong with ham?"

"I ate a lot of it one time and then I got sick, and now I don't eat it," I explain

Eating went by slowly for obvious reasons. As for the rest of the day, it was nice to be out. Since the two of us spend most of our time indoors, especially Mitch, it was a good change. On top of that, once again, especially Mitch - we travel. There was one part of the day that was really great, he brought me to a river and we just sat there in silence taking in our serene surroundings. It was nearing six PM when we decided to call it a day, we thought that five hours was fine enough.

MITCH'S POV

Should I ask her? Or should we just go home? I don't know where to draw the line with her, my gosh… this is going to take some adjusting. But that really shouldn't matter. She's going through a dark time, and I will be here no matter what for her. We both plop ourselves back into the car.

"So what'd you wanna do now?" she asks me.

"Well uhh, I'd ask you out for dinner but if you don't want to, I would totally understand."

"Right," she replies staring out across the dashboard. I start the car and pull out of the parking space. "You want to go grocery shopping and we can cook at my place?"

"That sounds great," I smile.

"Good," she smiles back now diverting her attention back to me.

The drive back was nice as well, we listened to The Neighbourhood silently in the background as we played 20 questions. We pull up into the driveway and head in the door.

"Kim" Storm calls out. No response. "Monica?" No response. "Weird. Did you want something to drink?"

"Sure, water is good."

"Alright, come come." She leads me to the kitchen and passes me a water bottle. After this, she proceeds to pull out a small stack of flyers. "Did you have anything in mind to cook?" she asks me.

"I'm easy and will eat anything."

"You know that you don't have to say that just to please me since I'm the one with the god damn problem, right?"

"No Storm, it's not like that," I sigh. "Look, I'm trying my hardest - can't you tell? I've never been in this situation before… and I like you," I trail off.

"Oh," she responds, obviously caught off guard. "Well then I'm sorry… I can be selfish sometimes."

"It's all good," I manage to smile.

"Then lets cook some of this stuffed chicken because it's on sale at this store… then I have some rice we can cook with it… and uhhh, a vegetable," she trails off eyeing the paper some more. "Aha! Let's cook some mixed veggies. I've got carrots and pea's and we can grab some broccoli."

"Sounds delicious. Want to get that now?"

"That would make sense, just let me grab my wallet."

*Two Hours Later*

Dinner was great, although I did feel bad that I couldn't help since I'm just awful when it comes to cooking. After dinner Storm offers me a drink and I hesitate to answer.

"Don't worry about me, I can handle alcohol now since I've just eaten…" she reassures me. "I've even got some koruna beer, since you don't really drink hard alcohol."

"Then sure," I take her up on her offer. We open our beers and head to her office. "Wow, so this room is all to yourself?"

"Pretty much, that means that I pay extra on the rent but not that much more," she replies. "It was a four bedroom apartment but since we couldn't find another room mate I just decided to take it and make it my office slash uhhh… a workout room. As you can see, there isn't much to it."

She's right, I see a couple of weights, a yoga mat and a few other exercise equipment. We sit down on the couch and continue talking about a lot of things. We got to know each other which was nice, she even went off on how and why I was her inspiration to start Youtube which really touched me. Our conversation got cut off when her room mates walked in the door. That's also when we realize that it's eleven PM.

"Storm?" Kim calls out.

"I'm in the office," Storm replies.

Kim walks in the door and is caught off guard by my presence. "Ooops, sorry if I'm interrupting anything," she winks to Storm which makes her blush. "I just wanted to see if you wanted any of the food Monica and I brought back. We went out to see a movie and get a bite to eat."

"No thanks, we already ate," Storm replies.

Kim looks to me for reassurance and I agree saying that we had chicken, rice and veggies.

"Alright, well you kid's have fun," she chuckles before closing the door behind her.

"So it's pretty late huh?" Storm points out as she sits up from laying on my lap.

"Yeah, didn't expect to lose track of time," I reply.

"Well I can't have you going home now, you've had a few beers and you look tired as fuu," she trails off, not completing her sentence.

In this moment, I get caught in a trance looking at her. As she realizes that I haven't responded, she looks to me and I get lost in her eyes. My gosh, she is so gorgeous. A moment later, I have sat up from my spot sitting inches away from her face. I slowly move my hand up around her neck and look to her lips. I can feel that she isn't hesitating or wanting to pull away so I move even closer and she does the rest. Our lips meet and her arms wrap around my neck. I remove my hand from her face and lean towards her causing her to fall back onto the couch. I follow her down, my body now on top of hers. Our lips never leaving each other's. I pull away and take a deep breath.

"I'm sorry," I meekly say.

"For what?" she throws back at me.

"For that."

"Why?"

"I couldn't help it… it doesn't even seem like you're into me," I shy away.

She stares at me a bit more and starts to trace along my face with her fingers. She stares at what it seems, every aspect of my face.

"Well you're wrong," she finally speaks up.

"Am I?"

"Yes."

"Well then Storm…." I trail off.

"Yeah?"

"Will you be my girlfriend?" I ask as my heart is beating so quickly from being nervous.

She smiles and pulls me back in for another kiss and breaks away. "Of course."
