Chpt. 5 Monday, at work, John was trying to catch up on his paperwork, when Bailey interrupted him. "John, are you finished with the Anderson file?" "Here you go" John said as he handed Bailey the file. "Everything okay?" Bailey asked. "Great!" John smiled as he walked back to his desk.

At 1pm Chloe called John. "John, do you know that Friday's mom's birthday?" "Sure do." John answered. "Why don't you take her out for dinner and dancing?" Chloe suggested. John laughed. He was thinking along those lines. He'd love to take Sam dancing. "Great idea, Chlo." He said.

After work, John stopped off at the jewelry store. He spent a hour and a half picking out something special. When he got home, he called Sam. "Hello?" "Sam, are you busy Friday?" "Do you have plans?" Sam asked smiling to herself. "You bet I do. A little dinner, a little dancing. So how about it. Wanna come?" "How can I refuse an invitation like that? Pick me up at 8." "Good night Sam." John was about to hang up when he heard Sam call him. "John wait! Don't hang up!" "What is it?" John asked. "Thanks for taking such good care of me Saturday night. It was so sweet." "My pleasure. Good night."

The next day, at work, John wanted Grace's opinion on the gift he brought Sam. "Hi, John. What's up?" Grace asked. "I need your advice. Friday's Sam's birthday and I'm taking her out for dinner and dancing." "Oh! That's so romantic! I wish someone would take me dancing!" Grace exclaimed. "Do you think Sam would like this?" John asked as he showed Grace the bracelet with the heart charm. "It's beautiful! She'll love it!" Grace exclaimed.

By Friday afternoon Sam still didn't know what to wear. She tried on everything she owned, twice. Chloe, come here, please!" Sam yelled from her bedroom. "What is it?' "Help me pick out an outfit, for tonight." Sam sighed. "How about your black sparkle dress with low black heels." Chloe suggested.

"You're a genius! Thank you." Sam said as she hugged her daughter.

John arrived at Sam's at 7:30. "John! You're early." Sam said. "I wanted you to open your gift before we went to dinner." John said as he handed her the black box with the ribbon on it. Sam smiled as she took the gift from him. She pulled the ribbon and opened the box. "John, it's beautiful! I love it!" Sam exclaimed as John put the bracelet on her wrist. On their way to the restaurant, they dropped Chloe off at Angela's for a sleepover.

At the restaurant, after they were seated, Sam asked john to dance. When they returned to their table Sam said "I haven't danced in years." "Glad you're enjoying yourself." John replied. Sam realized she loved John. She wanted to spend the night with him. She was so intent on how to get John to stay the night that she missed his question. "Sam, are you with me?" John asked "I just zoned out for a moment." Sam answered. "Would you like to dance some more?" John repeated. "Love to." She answered.

Sam decided to be direct. Let John know she wanted to take their relationship to the next step. They were on the couch, watching a movie, when Sam shut the tape off. John just looked at her. Sam took his hand and led him to her bedroom. John stopped at the door. "Are you sure? I don't want to rush you." John said. "I'm sure. Come on." She said. "Chloe?" he asked hesitatingly. "She's not here, remember?" Sam smiled. She couldn't believe how shy John was acting. She wondered why as she led him back to the couch. "What's wrong, John?" Sam asked. "I don't want to rush you." "You're not. Believe me."

"I want everything to be perfect. I never felt this way, before." John said. "I love you, John." Once again Sam led John to her bedroom. This time he went willingly. "I love you Sam.'

They made love and feel asleep in each others arms.
