Romance Needed
Chapter 5

After the dishes were washed, Niles served a chocolate cake he had baked earlier. As he was serving, the conversation was going on normally, and he'd occasionally laugh at Harvey and CC. Both at dinner and after, Harvey had insisted on sitting next to CC. It wasn't only cute, but hilarious as well. CC had almost no idea what to do.
"You know," Harvey began, chomping on his chocolate cake as he spoke to CC, "We've been spending a lot of time together."
CC, looking around for help but finding none just nodded with an, "Mmhhm."
"Well," Harvey paused momentarily, "I was just wondering if you'd like to be friends."
CC shrugged, "Okay, sure."
Harvey stopped, throwing his hands back with a look of shock on his face. "Really? You'll really be my bestest friend?"
CC, fearing she'd made the wrong decision, backpedaled quickly. Perhaps, too quickly. "No."
Harvey's face immediately turned to one of pure depression. His bottom lip quivering, and tears forming in his eyes he cried, "N-N-No?"
CC stayed silent as he continued, drawing the attention of all of the other guests at dinner.
"You won't be my friend? No?" He screamed, running away and up to his bedroom.
All eyes were on CC, making her uncomfortable. Niles cleared his throat, "I'll take care of him. Come along, CC."
Silently, CC stood up and followed Niles until they stood outside of Harvey's bedroom door. Tears brimming in her own eyes, CC told Niles, "I didn't mean to make him cry! Really, I didn't! I just... I didn't know what I'd gotten myself into."
"I know." Niles replied sincerely. "I know, and it's okay. Just go in there, and tell him you're sorry. Give him something that will make him happy, and say you'll be his friend."
CC shrugged, "What do I give him?"
"I don't know... promise him something... something you'll follow through with."
CC nodded, "Okay." And she entered the room. "Harvey?" She asked quietly, seeing the small boy laying face first on the bed, his head buried into the pillow.
He looked up, his lip quivering, and his face red with tears. "What?"
"I'm very sorry about...erm... Well, I'll be your friend."
"You will?" His face brightened just a little bit at the thought.
CC nodded, "And we can make... friendship bracelets." CC smiled not to comfort Harvey, but at the brilliance of her idea.
"Friendship bracelets?" He shrieked.
CC nodded, "Yes, if you promise not to do that again."
Harvey laughed, and then threw his arms around her legs. "I love you, Aunt CC. I'm glad we're friends."
CC smiled, patting the boy's head. "Me too, Harvey. Me too."
And after they hugged for a few moments, the group headed downstairs.

After dinner, the group decided to play charades...Phillip's bright idea... They decided on playing partners, Kathy and Phillip, Niles and CC, Daniel and Lauren, and Joseph and Marie. Kate insisted she didn't want to play the 'stone age' old game, and left the room with the children.
"Alright, let me think..." Niles began, standing up to perform his charade for CC.
"No, no, Brother." Daniel told Niles, "We've each come up with our own ideas and threw them into a hat. There's one hat for each team. You can pick out of any hat but yours, and you have to perform what's on the slip of paper."
Niles sighed, "Okay." And he walked over to the table, picked a hat, and read the paper. "I love you." It said, and Niles sighed, thinking. "Okay," He said, walking toward the 'stage' again. "I'm ready...Am I performing this for all of you?"
"No, my boy." Joseph explained, "For CC. She's your partner."
"Okay." Niles nodded, "You ready?"
"Yep." CC replied.
Niles pointed to his eye.
"Eye, eye ball, pupil..." CC started to immediately scream random things at Niles.
He shook his head, and held up one finger. "First one...Eye?"
Niles nodded. Then, he pointed to his chest.
"Chest, me, you...heart..." At heart, Niles started nodding frantically.
"Heart...I heart..."
Niles then pointed to her. "Me...CC? ...Uh..." Niles made a U with his fingers, and pointed to her again.
"You!" CC yelled, "Eye heart you! Eye heart you...I heart...I love...I love you! I love you!" She screamed, jumping up.
"Yes!" Niles yelled, running over to CC.
Kate, entering the room, yelled, "Aren't you going to kiss her?"
Niles and CC, along with everyone else's eyes turned to her. Niles and CC glared, and then turned back to each other. Quickly but tenderly, Niles leaned in and kissed CC.
"Awww..." Lauren exaggerated, "Why don't you kiss me like that?" She playfully slapped Danny, smiling.
Kate cleared her throat. "I actually came in to let you guys know that I can't watch Molly, Justin, and Mariah anymore. Harvey's tired and cranky, and I need to-"
"-I am not cranky!" Harvey interrupted, stomping his foot.
Kathy stood up, along with Phillip. "It's alright, Dear. You take the un-cranky boy to bed, we'll take care of the kids."
"Okay." Kate smiled, carrying a fighting Harvey upstairs.
"Well," Phillip began, "I suppose that's it for us..."
"It is." Kathy told him sternly, "We'll have to continue this another time."
Phillip nodded, "We've got to put the children to bed. Goodnight, all."
"Goodnight." Marie told her son and daughter-in-law.
Jospeh told Niles, CC, Lauren, and Daniel as he was standing up, "We're also going to head to bed, these old bones can't stay awake much longer."
Joseph and Marie made their way upstairs, and then there were four...
"Well," Lauren coughed, "We have to get up early tomorrow to leave, so... Goodnight!"
She and Daniel awkwardly made their way up the stairs until only Niles and CC were left.
"Well..." Niles sighed.
"I believe we've been ditched."
Niles nodded, their eyes still connected in what seemed like a trance. "It seems so." He breathed, "CC?"
"Hmm?" She mumbled.
"May I-"
"-Please."
And his lips crashed into hers.
AN: Mmmwaahahahaha! I'm so evil! :) Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
