"That's something you've never told a man before or heard from one." Niles snickered.

"Look I just…" she glared at him. "Oh never mind…" she threw a robe at him. Niles looked confused and hurt. "What's this for?" all of a sudden he understood. She's helping me dry off. She doesn't want me to catch cold. He lowered his head. "I…." CC was watching him from the corner of the hallway. He dropped his clothes to the floor. Nice, she said to herself. He places the robe around him.

"Ms. Bab…" Niles started. "Never mind…. I'll find it myself. I'm used to it." he sighed as he picked up his wet cloths off the floor. "My life does suck." He thought out loud.

"It's off the kitchen." CC called helping him out.

"Uh." He turned towards her voice.

"The dryer it's off the kitchen. Help yourself to use it."

"Thanks."

"I would help you but I'm kind of busy right this second."

"I think I can handle a little dryer." Niles found the dryer and turns it on. "It' probably never been used before."

"For your info it has, plenty of times. Just not by me." she laughed as she stepped up behind him. "It is the least that I can do for you since you brought my dog back over here in the rain.

"Don't thank me it was not my idea. He took my wallet. I just got paid today. My check was in it. Something that I always need." Both of them walk back in the den.

"Have seat." Niles sat on the couch wounding why she was acting nice to him now, after she tired to bite his head off for yelling at her dog. She offered him a drink but he reused that.

She sat next to him with her drink in her hand. He glared at her drink. She just smiled.

"Are you sure you don't want one?" he just shook his head. "Fine, tell me something what were you doing before you lost your wallet?"

"Not to much was getting ready to cook dinner."

"Well that should tell you something right there."

"What's that?" He faced her.

"The dog doesn't even like your cooking." He gave her a mean look

She smiled. "Good dog." She bent down to pet him on the head. The dog ran up to Niles. Gave him a puppy eyed look and barked.

"He's trying to tell you that he's sorry." She placed the dog in Niles lap before he could respond.

"Well," Niles couldn't stay mad with the dog. If it wasn't for the dog stealing his wallet he would have never come over to CC's apartment. I have to be grateful for that at least. He smiled. He whispered 'get off the couch' at the dog. CC thought Niles was forgiving her dog. The dog jumped of the couch and took off towards the bedroom.

"You know that dog sleeps in that old box, the one you left him. Why I don't know." Niles knew alright. He didn't hate the dog. He just wished that he stay out of the way sometimes.

"Why are you here and not working? I thought you and Max were having some trouble?"

"We finished up hours ago, so I thought I take the rest of the afternoon to catch up on some paper work here but look how good that did me." CC's stomach growls. Niles points to her stomach.

"Looks like you haven't eaten anything either."

"No I forgot, hey want to go get something?"

"Sure why not." He starts to get up.

Niles' mind: This could work out. I doubt it but it's a start.

"Wait Niles you going to go out dressed like that?" CC asked as looked him up and down with her eyes. I wouldn't mind taking that off of him. Whoa, where did that come from? She shook the thoughts from her head.

"What's wrong with…" he looks down and forgets that he is in a robe.
