If steam could come out of a person's ears it would have been Micah's when he saw Madden's arm around me.

Once we were cleaning up I couldn't help but smile.

"What are you smiling at?" Madden asked walking up behind me.

"Thinking about Micah and if steam could have come out of his ears they would of."

"Yeah, he stormed out when he saw us."

"He's only mad because he wants your money and I'm not really interested in how much money you are worth Reyah."

"I know that already Madden."

"How many animals did we get adopted out?"

"I'm not sure let's go look and see," I said heading to his office.

I sit down at the desk and pull up the info.

"So what do we got?" He asked sitting down beside me.

"Looks like we adopted out four cats and five more dogs."

"Wow, that's a great bit for a weekend." He smiled over at me.

I got lost in his brown eyes again and couldn't focus.

"So I guess I need to see how many dogs we have left down in the kennels. Where are the cookies? I could use another one." He said.

I grabbed them off the corner of the desk and handed them to him.

"I didn't want to reach over you again and touch the girls."

"Your lying! You would like to lay on these pillows." I flirt.

"Well maybe." He laughs.

"Maybe nothing!" I laugh finishing off my cookie.

"I'm a guy what can I say?" He smirked.

"Oh, so that's your excuse? Well, I guess I'll let it go this time Madden."

We finished cleaning up and as I put on my jacket my phone rang.

☎️ Hello?

☎️ Reyah I made some lasagna so I want you to bring Madden over once you're done.

☎️ Alright, I'll ask him and see if he's interested and I will be home soon.

☎️ Ok just be careful.

☎️ I will.

"So mom said she made a lasagna and wants me to bring you home to eat some."

"You don't have to twist my arm. Hell yeah, I'm starving anyway and was going to order a pizza on the way home."

"Well, you want to follow me or ride with me Madden?"

"I'll ride with you if you don't mind taking me home later."

"Alright then let's go. I think we are done for the night anyway." I said looking around.

"Yeah, we are just let me grab my jacket and lock up." He said.

We walked out and got in my Range Rover and headed to the house.

The snow was pouring down as we got in the driveway.

"Wow, it's coming down fast."

"Yeah, it is." I said scooping some of the snow up and threw it at him."

"Hey now, that's not nice." He laughed.

"And your point?" I asked grabbing more snow throwing it at him.

He ran around the car toward me and he almost made it to me when he tripped and fell on top of me.

"Shit Madden if you wanted to get on top of me why didn't you just ask." I laughed.

"I'm sorry Reyah I tripped on something." He laughed picking up snow and putting it on my face.

"No fair!" I kick my legs until he's on the bottom and I'm on the top and I stuff snow in his mouth.

"Eww, what if it was brown or yellow?" He spits.

I got up and helped him up out of the snow. "Well, you deserved it." I laughed opening the front door.

We took our jackets and boots off and headed to the kitchen.

"Why are your faces so red?" Mom asked.

"Well, Libby your daughter decided to make me eat snow." He laughed.

I couldn't help but giggle. "Come on let's go wash up."

He followed me to the bathroom and we washed our hands.

"You tattletale." I grinned.

"It didn't work. She already knows how you are." He laughs as we walk back to the kitchen.

Mom had cut the kitchen light to dim and had our food sitting out on the table with a glass of wine and candle in the middle.

"Mom, what is going on here?"

"Just a little romantic dinner. Night guys!" She said going upstairs.

"Your mom is sneaky."

"Yes she is and well she wants grandchildren if that tells you anything."

"Wow, that's a little fast. I haven't even seen you naked yet." He laughed.

"Hush and enjoy the food." I smiled.

"God this is so good. Your mom can cook for me any night."

"She sure spoils me with all of her cooking. I live like a college kid at my apartment because I never want to cook."

"Can you cook though?"

"Of course I can. If I couldn't Lib would kick my butt." I laughed.

"Well, at least whenever you do get married you can cook your man a meal."

"Is that all I'm good for? I don't really like to cook but I know how."

"What is your favorite thing to make?"

"Umm, probably chicken casserole."

"I would eat it."

"I'm sure you would Madden."

"It's cool your mom set us up on a candlelight dinner date."

"Do you consider this a date?"

"Well I mean a dinner by candlelight means date doesn't it?"

"I'm not sure and the last lunch date I went on something was on my leg." I laughed.

He laughed... "Well, I won't put it on your leg unless you ask me to."

"Has a girl ever asked you to put it on her leg?"

"No, I can't say that I have. That would be a weird request." He laughed.

"Well, I didn't ask, and well from what I could feel it wasn't all that."

"So I guess what your saying is size does matter Reyah."

"No, it doesn't matter Madden. All that matters is how you use it."

"I like your way of thinking." He smiled looking down at his crotch. "You are safe buddy."

I burst out laughing spitting my wine out.
