Niles smiled brightly from the moment he walked away from CC to the moment he arrived back at the mansion. He felt like he was flying on love and he didn't need a parachute.

Walking into the mansion he still wore his smile even after seeing the mess left behind from the guests that night. All he could think about was CC and that was enough to get him through cleaning up.

Back at CC's apartment, she was slipping into bed, getting under the covers when her mind wandered...

"Do you want to come in?" She waited for Niles' response and he answered with a small smile and nod. CC slowly turned around and unlocked the door before she walked inside and he followed.

"Would you like something to drin-

As soon as she turned around, Niles took her in his arms and she quickly grabbed his biceps before he dipped her, only to press his lips against her soft ones. He pressed his tongue against the slip of her lips and she quickly welcomed it before their tongues danced together.

When he pulled her back up, they stared at one another, catching their breath before Niles picked her up and carried her to the bedroom where he laid her down on the queen size bed. He crawled on the bed to join her before hovering over her. "Take me, Niles..."

A smirk curled onto Niles' lips as he looked deep into her eyes. "I've been waiting to take you since the moment you asked me to take off my pants," he smirked.

CC placed her hands on Niles' face and lowered his face to hers where she softly kissed him. When they pulled back, Niles' eyes were locked on hers. "CC," he whispered.

"Yes, Niles?"

"I lo-"

BRINGGG BRINGGG BRINGGG BRINGGG

CC groaned as she let her hand move up and hit her alarm clock, like it did every morning at 6:00am.

She slowly looked over at the alarm before she sighed. "Damn alarm. I can't even fall in love in my dreams."

Back at the mansion Niles was just getting up himself to prepare breakfast. As he got into the shower his mind wandered.

Niles was in the shower, getting ready for his day when he heart footsteps and saw a shadow in his bathroom. "Hello? Is someone the-"

The curtain suddenly opened and there stood CC in nothing but an over sized t-shirt.

"CC? Wha- What are you doing here?"

She had a smirk on her face as she looked him up and down. "Shhh Niles. Don't ask questions." She slowly stepped into the shower with her t-shirt still on and she ran her fingers through his now drenched hair as her entire body started grow just as wet.

"Kiss me, Niles." Her voice was soft as she whispered into his ear.

Niles shivered at her breath against his skin and he quickly pinned her to the wall, letting his hand run up her inner thigh, edging his fingers up to graze her center.

Niles quickly opened his eyes as he realized the water was now cold. He quickly looked down to see what his dream had conceived.

"Oh, shit."

CC walked into the office with a bright smile on her face. The same one she wore the morning before Niles asked her out.

Seeing Donna, she grinned. "Good morning, Donna," she sang as she made her way into her office.

Donna turned her chair around to see CC walk past her. "Good morning, Dr. Babcock. What's got you into such a good mood." Donna was grinning as well, knowing exactly what was making CC so happy.

"Oh, just a pleasant sleep, is all."

"How was your date with Niles?" Gotta get the details sometime.

CC slowly turned around with that same grin on her face as she tried her hardest to control it. "It was nice, thank you."

"Anything exciting happen?" Come on, CC. Tell me what happened.

"Well he did give me a good-night kiss." Her cheeks were now hurting with how bright her smile was. She couldn't control it though. She was head over heels for this man.

Yes! All right, Niles! "That's great. Are you two seeing each other again?"

God I hope so. "I don't know," she shrugged. "He said he'd call me."

Donna just nodded with a smile before she turned back to her desk.

CC quietly walked into her office and shut the door.

At breakfast everyone was staring at Niles for his sudden good mood.

"Niles, are you all right? You seem too happy," Maggie offered as she pouched her fork into her sausage link.

"I'm just fine, Miss Margaret. Would anyone like more orange jui-?"

"So Niles, you never told me how your date ended. I saw you leave with her."

The entire family oohed at him. "It was very nice, Miss Fine. And yes, I took her home. I didn't think it was right for her to be getting into a cab when it was close to midnight."

Fran whipped her head around to look at her friend. "I do that all the time and you never offer to come get me," Fran protested.

Niles got awfully close to her ear before he whispered. "You're not a tall blond."

"Well," Fran huffed before she continued on her pancakes.

That afternoon, as CC was coming out of a room from seeing a patient, she heard Donna being hush hush on the phone and CC quickly pushed herself back into her room to hear it all.

"Not yet. She's coming out soon I'll let you know when she gets them. OK bye"

Slowly walking up to Donna, she smiled. "Who was that?"

"There's something in your office for you, Dr. Babcock." Donna wore a smirk on her face as she eyed CC's private office.

A bit suspicious, CC slowly walked to her office before opening the door. What she saw made her gasp. Inside her room was a eight bouquets of a dozen roses on her desk.

"Oh my.." She slowly walked up to her desk to see a note on her keyboard. Picking it up she read it:

I had asked you out for eight so I believed eight bouquets of roses were appropriate.

I hope you enjoyed your night with me. I know I enjoyed my night with you.

If you wish to see me again, I'd like to see you tonight at seven for dinner at the mansion.

If you don't wish to see me again, simply do not show up.

I'll get the hint.

-Niles Brightmore.
