He sat down next to her, "you are really good." He reached over taking her hand without thinking as he caughthis bbreath

"Thank you. You're better though, I'll have to keep practicing," she replied, squeezing his hand.

She leaned closer and kissed him back for a moment before leaning away. "Thank you."

Hw chuckled, "only because I've been doing it longer."
Jeff nodded, "let's get to bed."

Sam stood up, "that sounds really good." She yawned as she headed towards her room.

Brooklynn nodded in agreement. "Will you help me practice?' she asked with a flirty smile.

"do you have some extra pillows and a blanket?" Jeff asked

"i...I'd be honored to." He said his smile growing

"Good," she leaned over and kissed his cheek.

"Yeah," Sam said. "In the closet," she said as she kicked off her shoes and flopped onto her bed. "Bed's big enough for both of us," she said as she closed her eyes.

"so...what would you like to do now." Carl asked

"Would you be ok with that?" Jeff asked from the doorway

"Just sit here for a while, till I have the energy to move again," she laughed. "I am exhausted from all that!"

"Its a great workout." He chuckled, "working of that amazing apple pie ."

"Yeah, it was good, wasn't it?" she smiled. "But I think it was more than just the apple pie. I think we just worked off the past three meals!"

"Yeah," Sam said as she rolled over and looked at him. "But you better not snore."

"Maybe thats why I can eat like crap and never gain." He mused, "maybe we should get some more to eat on the way home." He teased


Jeff chuckled, "ill try but no promises."

Brooklynn laughed. "Maybe, though I am sure we positively reek after all that exercise."

"well if that's so at least we both stink." He grinned, "but I can't imagine you would stink."

Sam smiled, "can you turn the light off?" She yawned and closed her eyes again.

"Oh I assure you, I stink." she replied with a grin. "So do you want to get going?"

Jeff flicked the lift off and climbed into bed putting his armbsround her, "goodnight"

"If we are done here I think we should at least start heading back." He said standing

"Sounds good," she agreed, standing as well.

"Night," Sam put her hand on his and drifted to sleep.

By the time they made it through the crowd to the front door Lloyd was waiting with the limo. Carl opened the car door for her and skid in after her, "so I've never done this..."he started as they began to drive, "but...how do you feel about standing in the sun roof?" Now he sounded like a Jr higher

"I think that sounds like an awesome idea," she replied. She began looking around for the button. "How do you open it?"

Carl reached up and pressed a button by the Donne light abs the sun roof opened. He stood up then offered her a hand

She took it and stood, laughing as the wind buffeted them.

he felt free...like anything was possible. lifting his hands he let out a whoo hoo raising his hands above his head. it was amazing

Still laughing, she hugged him around the middle. "This is amazing!"

bringing his arms around her he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. leaning in he suddenly didn't care about the people staring up at them as they passed by and he kissed her

She was surprised by the action, but responded in kind, pulling him closer.

the wind on his back he could feel the moisture there cooling but he didn't want to pull away. he wanted her lips pressed against his tighter and to deepen the kiss. he pulled away just barely resting his forehead against hers.

She smiled up at him. "You're perfect, you know that?"

"No...actually I...I don't." he said his arms tightening around her a little, "but you are."

"Thanks," she replied softly. "I'm really glad that we met, Carl."

"Me too." he felt a shiver go up his back, " this has been a great night."

"Mhm," she nodded. "Are you cold?" she asked, feeling the slight shiver.

He nodded, " but its no worries."

"Let's sit back down, if you're cold," she suggested softly. "We're almost to my house anyway."

he sighed a little feeling like he had ruined the moment, " alright." he said slipping back into the car

She sat next to him, leaning her head on his shoulder. "I had an amazing time tonight. And you did amazing with my parents."
