A/N: Keep the ideas coming! I'm listening! They're all worth looking in to!
Don't take it personal, however, if I use someone elses suggestion and not yours! I can't write them all in! ;)
This story will have atleast 20 chapters, so you may be in for a few surprises along the way! :)
--Ashley, my most ambitious reviewer...you have some great ideas! I'll take them into consideration!--

You know that Steve part? I just added that to make you speculate. Speculation=responses. ;)

The dinner went by without any trouble, except for the awkward tension between Salem and Sabrina. She sat quietly at her end of the table while the aunts payed their attention to Salem. They pityed him for only being able to orb now that his powers had been taken away.
Sometimes he would glance in Sabrina's direction when he thought no one saw it, and some of those times Sabrina glanced back at him with a stubborn distance.
She found it very hard to look away, because his eyes were so damn beautiful...filled with wanting, compassion, and endless heat, they were so tender but still so dangerous...
Finally, Zelda had enough. She motioned for Hilda to follow her upstairs and into Zelda's bedroom.
"What?" Hilda complained. "I wasn't finished with my dessert yet!"
"Haven't you noticed?"
"Noticed what? Well, spit it then, I want my dessert!"
"Salem has a crush on Sabrina!"
Hilda panted wildly. "Really? Poor guy!"
"We must support him now. Unanswered crushes are hard to deal with alone!" Zelda sighed.
"You're right! Can I tell loverboy we know? Pleasepleaseplease?"
"No no, we'll just stay beside him through this. Hopefully, his feelings will fade out once she's married."
Hilda didn't give up that easy.
"But can't we tell Sabrina? I mean we don't want her to lead him on or anything!"
"Good idea. We'll fill her in when we do the dishes."
"Oh yay! I can't wait!" Hilda squealed and clapped her hands with anticipation.
Actually, she was so worked up that she had to do a backwards somersault on Zelda's bed before they headed downstairs again.
"You are totally insane," Zelda laughed.
"I'm not! I just like to have fun. Come on, let's go tell her!"
----------------------
Salem went outside for some air when they had finished dessert. The three women started with the dishes.
"Sabrina, there's something we need to tell you," Zelda began nervously. "Salem...well, Salem...has developed...an...uhm..."
"Salem has like the hugest crush on you!" Hilda interrupted, jumping up and down. "Isn't it exciting?"
Sabrina saw something interesting in the dishwater. "Oh...he does?" she coughed and thought of the bathroom incident for like the thousant time. Yeah, he had a crush allright...
"We just don't want you to give him any false ideas," Zelda sighed. "He must understand that you're not a suitable match for him."
"Right..."
"We'll send him in here, so you can reject him or something."
Sabrina dropped her dishbrush.
"Oh, no, that's not..."
Zelda patted her shoulder. "Don't worry. We'll be right outside."
"Oh, but...but..."
"No buts Sabrina! Reject him."
They left and a couple of minutes later Salem came in. He closed the door behind him.
"They said you wanted help?"
"Dry the plates."
He started toweling plates.
"Did you know that my aunts think you have a crush on me?" she said quietly.
Salem jumped. "What?!" he shrieked.
"Yeah, they told me to reject you."
"Oh man," he said thoughtfully, putting down his plates.
"Salem, what should we do now?" she asked without looking at him.
He pressed his lips against her ear. "How 'bout a truce dinner?"
His arms slid around her from behind. Sabrina shivered unwillingly.
"Please?" he asked with a pleading voice.
Sabrina blinked a couple of times. She knew that she was in deep shit.
"No dirty intentions?"
"None."
"Promise not to try anything?"
"Abso-fuckin'-lutely."
"Drive me straight home when I want to?"
"Promise to God."
"I guess you have yourself a deal."
"Great. Can you finish up here? I have to go and get some paint before the store closes."
"Sure."
Salem caressed her cheek. "See you tomorrow night Sabrina."
"Okay. You should go now."
He didn't move. Not until Sabrina suddenly threw some foam at him. "Whoa! Okay, I'll go, I'll go!" he laughed.
Hilda and Zelda jumped at Sabrina as soon as the front door closed behind Salem.
"How did he take it?"
"Pretty good," Sabrina answered lightly. "No problems there."
They sat down in the sofa. "There's something else you should know about Salem," Zelda said.
Sabrina stiffened. "Oh? What?"
"He's been married."
"Oh my god! How...when...who?"
"Her name was Monica. She was a mortal... she died suddenly, without knowing about his 'other life'."
"It was back in the 1820's," Hilda added. "He took it really hard...never saw another woman until he became a cat. It was pretty sad."
Sabrina didn't know what to say. It came totally out of the blue. "I don't know what to say..."
"That's why we don't want him to fall in love with you. We don't want to see him get hurt."
"Of course not. Anyway don't worry. I'm not leading him on."
----------------------
Yeah right she's not! Next time we'll see how that "truce dinner" goes! Something tells me that Salem might have been lying when he made those promises! We'll also get to hear what he says when Sabrina pressures him about his past women!
Don't take it personal, however, if I use someone elses suggestion and not yours! I can't write them all in! ;)
