				<div style="text-align: justify;">It was another early morning for the young guy Adam. As early and lonely as many of his nights. The twenty-three year old was single and it didn't look like that was gonna change soon. He had friends but not yet the one he wanted to join on the trip they called life. He didn't have much time to find such a girl either because it always seemed to get busier in the garage. People from out of town started to find them and apparently they liked the service given Adam and his employees. That lead to those early mornings and most of the time to late evenings too. He was lucky that his skilled staff was loyal to him because every other garage close did want them because Adam thought that it was his morale obligation to train his men the best he could. Some have used him for that but most of them really appreciated it.<br><br>Adam was a guy that could jump out of his bed fresh and he praised the lord for that. That was a good thing because morning moods would completely freak him out. During the morning he didn't have much time and being moody would really help him. Just enough time for a show and a quick breakfast while he listened to the morning news on the radio. He didn't need more time in his empty apartment. When he was finished he hit the road to his garage (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=162964.0), the place he worked.<br><br><br><div align="center">Adam Fredricks moved to Fredricks Repair Shop (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=162964.0).</div></div>

				<div style="text-align: justify;">He got his car in front of his house and looked behind him. There he saw the lady, that he had invited, pulling up. Adam had really done his best not to lose her and it had worked. Both of them had safely arrived. As she found herself a parking spot, Adam got out of his car and looked at her, waiting until shee had parked and got out of the car too. She got out and he smiled, gesturing her to follow him in while he walked towards the green door of his white house.<br><br>Sam got closer and Adam started to talk again. "This is my house, my home. The place were I'd be spending my hours watching tv when you'd said no." He lead her inside and went to the living room, accepting her jacket.</div>

				She followed Adam, the entire time her mind and emotions raced, she was happy, nervous, and a bit scared. She wasn't the kind of person that usually acted impulsively. In fact, she couldn't remember the last time she did something unexpected or out of her norm. She smiled to herself, thinking, well maybe it's time that you started doing more things like this, but then her nervousness would take over once again, and she would begin reprimanding herself for behaving out of her norm. <br><br>The drive was rather short and she soon saw Adam pull into a spot in front of some houses. She pulled up behind him and sat for a moment in her car. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, then got out of her car. She stood there for a moment before Adam got out of his vehicle and motioned for her to follow him.<br><br>She found herself a few paces behind him as he went up the stairs, and unlocked the green door. He held the door open for her and she stepped inside. She looked around as he welcomed her in. <br>&nbsp;<br>"You have a beautiful home Adam." She smiled at him as she looked around at what she could see as he took her into the living room. He offered to take her jacket and she slipped it off and handed it to him. She stood admiring his home and then turned to him smiling, "So this is where all the important stuff, like tv watching, gets done, huh?" She smiled suddenly much more nervous than she had been in the garage.

				<div style="text-align: justify;">He accepted the compliment with a smile. "You should've told my parents that. They bought the place quite some years ago. I just decorated it differently and made sure that the place stayed liveable. The place became mine when my dad died. I tried to keep it good." As she commented about the living room he smirked. "Yeah pretty much and me playing guitar happens here too." he answered after his laughted passed. Adam felt more comfortable here but he could see that she didn't feel the same way. Sam looked rather nervous about this and he wondered if he hadn't been to fast with inviting her to his place. He probably should have let her go after her water.<br><br>"Please have a seat." he said as he pointed at the couch. "Want something to eat or to drink?" Adam tried to make her as comfortable as he possibly could but he didn't know whether it would work. He did hope so though, he was starting to like the girl.</div>

				He told her how the place had come to be his, she listened quietly as he talked about it. "Well the decorating that you have done is nice Adam." She listened to him laugh as she asked him about the important things done here. His laughter had a calming effect on her, she was still nervous but at least it was lessening. <br><br>He offered her a seat and something to eat and drink, she sat down on the corner of the couch. "Nothing to eat, thank you," she smiled, "but I'll have something to drink if you don't mind." She watched him move around his house, it was obvious that he was very comfortable here and she enjoyed watching him. <br><br>Finally relaxing a bit more, she sat back on the couch, and crossed her legs, the foot in the air tapping out a rhythm without her even noticing it.

				<div style="text-align: justify;">Sam told him that the decoration was nice too and Adam just smiled and shrugged. "Haven't spend that much time on it really. Just chose for a rather modern concept and that has worked out pretty well. Thank you though." Then he nodded at her as she wanted a drink. "And what would the lady like? I do think that I have pretty much everything that you could want around. Unless you surprise me with an unexpected request. I'm gonna grab a beer myself." He was still standing up while she had sit down already and his eyes noticed her tapping foot. He took a moment to look at it before he followed her slim leg and body all to her face. She really was a gorgeous woman, he thought.<br><br></div>

				She saw his eyes travel the length of her body, and she blushed. "I think I'll have a beer too if you don't mind," she wasn't really a beer drinker, but she wasn't thinking clearly and it was the first thing that came to mind. She wondered what he was thinking as he turned his back to her, she looked herself over once again, realizing just how much of the grime from the garage was covering her and her clothing. She should have put this off and at least waited until she was cleaned up to come to his house, she thought, but she was also happy that she hadn't. Even though she was nervous she was very happy to be here with him.

				<div style="text-align: justify;">Another nod followed as he heard her order. "One beer for the lady and one for myself." Adam walked away to the fridge where he always had a few pils beer cold for serve and grabbed two of them. He hadn't realized before that he hadn't asked her if she wanted a glass to go with that but now he did so he got out of the kitchen and got his head around the corner. "Did you want a glass for that beer?"<br><br>He smiled slightly as he interrupted her while she was checking herself out.</div>

				She looked up at him feeling slightly embarrassed, realizing that she hadn't paid any attention to what he had said, "Huh, what.... Oh a glass," she blushed, "Yes a glass is fine, thank you." She watched as his head disappeared around the corner once again. Her thoughts solely concentrated on how many embarrassing things she had ended up doing today. <br><br>She leaned back and closed her eyes, calming herself, breathing deeply. She just hoped that she was done embarrassing herself, at least for the rest of the day.

				<div style="text-align: justify;">Adam tried to hide his smile as she tried to remember the question but in the end she did seem to have understood it. He nodded as she answered that she wanted a glass and turned around, going back to the kitchen, smirking softly as he got out of her sight. It felt as if he had walked in on something personal because of the surprisement. Again she had been blushing and he thought about their time together today. It had been really special and Adam got feelings that he hadn't had in a long time. She was something extraordinary.<br><br>He got her a glass and poured her beer over in a glass, making sure it had a perfect layer of foam. Both beers were&nbsp; brought to the living room and he offered her hers. "I hope you don't mind that I drink out of the bottle? I like it better this way." Adam said as he took a seat next to her.</div>

				"Thank you." She grinned 'Why would I mind how you drink your beer?" I wouldn't know what's better or not, I don't usually drink beer." She took a drink and then turned sideways on the couch looking at him, her knee brushing his outer thigh as she leaned against the arm of the couch. "I probably shouldn't stay too long, I'm sure you have plenty of things to do tomorrow that you will need to be well rested for." She smiled as she searched for things to talk about, she took another drink from the beer instead. She worried that she was reading him wrong and that he was just being polite. <br><br>

				<div style="text-align: justify;">He shrugged as an answer to her question. "You always have some people that think it's rude or something. I don't know really, there's just a bunch of people that don't appreciate drinking like this." Adam looked at her as she said that she didn't drink much. "There's no difference in taste, it's just the way you drink it. And I like it from the bottle." He sipped from his drink and he felt her touching his leg but he didn't comment. Instead he looked again into her eyes and smiled.<br><br>"Tomorrow's just another day at the garage. Nothing special really. I'd rather have a nice evening and a difficult morning than a boring life." It was really how he felt and she didn't have to go quickly if they had fun. "So, maybe you should dance while I play a song, what do you think about that?" He knew almost for sure that she would reject the offer but he felt that it was definitely worth a try. Maybe he was able to convince her.</div>

				She smiled at his response. "I really don't mind what other people do as long as it doesn't hurt others. You can stand on your head and drink your beer if that's what makes you happy." she laughed lightly. "I've never been one to judge people quickly, I hate it when people judge me and try not to do it to others. So please feel free to do what you find most comfortable. I'm sure it'll be fine." <br><br>She smiled as he looked into her eyes. "That's a good way to live, I think. Perhaps I've had too much of a boring life." She said and then winked. "Maybe it's time to start doing things differently." <br><br>"Me? Dance?" she looked shocked, "Well remember what I told you? It always ends up hurting someone in the end. I couldn't possibly risk causing you bodily harm." She laughed trying to brush his suggestion off. Hoping that making a joke about it would guide him to change his mind.

				<div style="text-align: justify;">Adam nodded as Sam spoke. "That's what I try to do as well but I've been around too many people that seem to think different so I just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't offend you" While he spoke, he let his eyes go over her greasy clothes and tousled hair unnoticeably and he kept smiling. Seeing her like that made the image of Cinderella come to mind. The hardworking girl that became a princess and he wondered if she'd be his princess later on in this story.<br><br>He grinned as she winked at him, she was getting more open and less nervous about being here, talking with him. "Oh, you gonna chance it? Gonna get all impulsive now?" He was only teasing her and he knew that she wouldn't take it the wrong way. She didn't seem to like the dancing though. "You don't have to if you don't want but I cannot imagine that it is that bad. Well, I'll grab my guitar in a second and you can choose whether you get on stage or not."</div>

				"Thank you for taking my likes and dislikes into account, but really there's no need to. I'm easy to get along with, generally." He got quiet and she wondered what he was thinking, she quickly decided that if he wanted to share he would, and she would not pressure him to share his thoughts.<br><br>She laughed, "Impulsive goes against every grain of my being. So I doubt that happens soon. Of course I am sitting here in your house, that's pretty impulsive for me." She smiled at him as he joked with her. <br><br>She giggled as he mentioned her dancing. "Hmmm we'll see." She smiled, "You must enjoy pain, a lot, if I do dance remember you have been warned." She laughs and takes a drink from her glass. "No rush, I want to hear you play, but I'm enjoying this as well." She looks away for a second and then brings her eyes back to his almost immediately. Her cheeks slightly pink as she let's him know that she's happy to just sit here and talk.

				<div style="text-align: justify;">Adam enjoyed how she laughed. Sam really had a laugh that sounds really nice, one that could cheer him up when he felt down but so far they were just friends. It was strange how comfortable he felt around her, they had known eachother for a long time but never had they really spoken, nor been friends. Now everything seemed to go so fast and he felt himself getting to like her more and more. As she spoke, he nodded. "Yeah, that was an impulsive decision. I don't think you're regretting it yet. I'm still glad that I invited you."<br><br>The young man was glad that she told him that she liked being here too and that talking was as fine as him playing for her. For a second he let himself dream away in the eyes of the girl that sat right next to him, not seeing how she started to blush again. When he realized that he was staring he grabbed his beer and took a sip, smiling at her slightly. Then he put his drink away and stood up. "I'll&nbsp; be right back." he said and walked towards his bedroom. Quickly he returned with his guitar in his hand and he placed it against the couch and returned to sit next to her. "There's my companion on lonely nights."</div>

				Sam sat quietly watching Adam, she was really enjoying spending this time with him. She wondered how he felt, she was pretty sure that she was reading him correctly, that he enjoyed her company as much as she did his. Even the silence was comfortable, it wasn't like she had experienced so many times before, where every time there was a lull in conversation, someone felt the need to fill it. She was glad that her nervousness was subsiding somewhat, her tendency to blush at the slightest thing was more of an embarrassment than anything else. She smiled as he told her that he was glad he invited her, "I'm glad you did too." In almost a whisper she adds, "I've enjoyed our conversation, and getting to know you." <br><br>She looks at him, meeting his gaze with her own. Once again she found herself wondering what he thought about when he looked at her like that. She watched as he snapped himself out of his reverie and smiled at him as he took a drink from his beer. She grinned as he seemed to be a bit nervous. He got up and walked out of the room suddenly, and she couldn't help but watch him as long as she could. She liked the way he moved, the way he carried himself, hell, she liked all of him, she thought to herself as she watched him go into the other room. <br><br>He came back out almost immediately and she found herself blushing as she met his gaze once again, her eyes pretty much glued to the spot he had disappeared from only moments ago. She looked down his body, thankful that he had the guitar so that she could pretend that was what drew her eyes from his face and down his body. He sat the guitar down and took his seat back up on the couch next to her. She looked at the space between them and wondered to herself why it was there, and what she could do to make it smaller. She moved her legs as she sat sideways facing him, her knee brushing his outer thigh as she sat with her legs folded and her feet off of the couch, her side resting against the back of the sofa. <br><br>He brought her attention back to the guitar and she smiled, "Well isn't that one lucky guitar." She hadn't meant to say it out loud and she looked away then noticed her own beer, she picked it up and took a drink, and then another, hoping that he hadn't heard what she had said, but knowing that he had. She sat her beer back down and looked at him, "Books and my ipod are what keep me company on lonely nights."

				<div style="text-align: justify;">Adam listened carefully as Sam spoke and the words that she said the softest stayed the longest with him. The girl told him that she enjoyed getting to know him. He felt exactly like that too. So far it seemed that they were a great match but he didn't want to get his hopes all up. He had to admit that he had never felt as good as with her but there were quite a few times that he had thought that he had found his match in the past. Those moments faded quickly as he got to know the girls better but maybe he got lucky this time, he really hoped so.<br><br>As he came back with his guitar he saw her staring to the point where he had disappeared, grinning as he saw that she blushed once more. She really had too much blood that went to her cheeks every time. He sat down again and smiled as she turned towards him, being open. Their legs touched and he looked down at it for a moment and then back into her eyes. His head moving slightly closer to her a smile playing on his face. In his mind he leaned in and placed a kiss on her lips but he knew that he couldn't do that now. Their friendship of one day was fragile and he was still insecure about her feelings.<br><br>The young man frowned slightly as she mentioned the lucky guitar but soon he laughed, realizing what she had just said. Her reaction was enough to see that it had been just a slip, apparently he wasn't the only one that didn't know whether he had to express his feelings or not. Adam was glad that she did though. It gave them a little more room to play around and he was able express that he had some feelings for her too. "What kind of music does the lady have on when she has those lonely nights?" He was really interested whether their music styles matched as well.<br><br>As he waited for her answer he grabbed his beer and took another sip, giving her time to talk as he listened.</div>

				Sam picked up her glass and slowly turned it in her hands, occasionally taking a drink, but mainly just using it to have something to do with her hands. She smiled, "Well, I don't necessarily have a particular kind of music. I listen to everything depending on my mood." She looked him in the eyes and smiled softly. "It can be Chopin one moment, Metallica the next, followed by a ballad." She smiled. "My playlists would give another person a headache." She smiled thinking of all the different music she listened to. <br><br>She took another drink of beer and realized she had finished it. She set her glass aside and looked back at him, "What about you? What do you listen to, but more importantly, what do you play?" She glanced over at the guitar and then back to him. She covered her mouth as she stifled a yawn.&nbsp;

				<div style="text-align: justify;">He listened to her sweet voice telling what her likings were and he nodded slightly. She was right and he told her that too. "Listening to music like that would probably give me one. I mean, I could listen to quite some genres but I cannot listen them all at once changing by the song. My mood decides what kind of songs I listen and I stick with that for quite some time then, a few songs, hours or even days. It depends really. Not a big fan of electronic music though." He sighed softly at the thought and smiled again as he watched Sam.<br><br>"What kind of music do I play? I try to create and learn songs that have a meaning. No poppy top 50 music for me even though I could play them." As he talked he could see her yawning. "Are you sure you still want to hear this tonight? It seems that you're rather tired. We could do this all another time if you want." Adam looked at her as he responded, not knowing how she would react.</div>

				She laughed, "I don't always listen to my music that way. Sometimes I stick within genres but I do have to say that most generally I'm happy with anything that happens to be playing." She smiled and nodded her head as he described the music he played and wrote. "I love a song that tells a story, and that is most generally lacking in the pop top 50 songs that most people listen to now. Something with a message and a reason behind it will always grab my attention before the beat or the tune, no matter how catchy." <br><br>She nodded her head in response to his question. "Excuse me." she giggled as she excused her yawn. "I definitely want to hear you play tonight," she looked down at her lap, as her thoughts ran away for a second, hopefully not just tonight, she smiled to herself. "Well, unless you don't want to." <br><br>&nbsp;

				<div style="text-align: justify;">A grin appeared on his face as she answered the fact that he listened in streaks. "Just someone that enjoys hearing something in the background rather than having a silence? I can understand that, although I do like my periods of total silence too when I'm just doing nothing but thinking. It really helps me while making tough decisions." As she told him about liking the meanings just like he did, Adam immediately started to like her more. He really was someone that felt that a good connection through music could make good friends or more and with her he wanted to see how much that more could be.<br><br>She mentioned him possibly not wanting to play and he frowned while hearing that. "You're kidding right? I do wanna play for you and I've promissed. There's no way back now." Adam laughd and looked at her but she was looking down. Apparently she was sunk in thoughts for a moment and he let her. In the meantime he grabbed his guitar and played a few notes, knowing that it would catch her attention again. When she looked back at him he spoke. "I'll show you a song. A acoustic cover of a No Use For A Name song called Soulmate." Adam started playing (http://youtu.be/X9-O3Aki-0g), making sure that every single note that he played and sang was right.</div>

				Sam's face lit up as she heard the first few notes of the guitar being played. She looked up at Adam and he told her the name of the song. Nice choice, she thought to herself, and just nodded her head in approval. She listened in silence, a smile on her face, she thought to herself, he's really good. She continued to watch him while he played, he seemed comfortable with the guitar. <br><br>As the song was ending she closed her eyes a smile still on her face. He started playing another song and she kept her eyes closed. His voice and the guitar were calming. She laid her head back against the sofa, and let herself be immersed in the sound of his guitar and his voice. Soon the long day and the one beer she had drank was wearing on her though, and as he continued to pull soft notes from the guitar, she started to fall asleep. <br><br>Her lips slightly parted, still smiling even in sleep, her head resting on the back of the couch. At first she could hear him playing, she was in that strange half-asleep place where you can hear everything around you, but he continued to play and it lulled her into a deeper sleep.&nbsp;

				<div style="text-align: justify;">Adam kept playing and the smile on his face grew bigger as he saw Sam getting more comfortable while he played. He noticed how she closed her eyes while enjoying his music and to him it was a sign that he couldn't stop. His hands started another song, a slow one with lyrics sang in a sleepy way. Unknowingly to him he was singing her a song that put her to sleep and he only thought that she was liking the way his voice sounded in combination with his guitar. The man was totally wrong.<br><br>Only when he noticed the way her lips were parted and how her chest raised up and down, he realized that his new friend was asleep. Adam didn't know what he had to do. It would be rather rude to wake her up and he could imagine how embarrassed she'd feel about it. Not dealing with this in the right way could kill this friendship even sooner than it had started. He had to be careful and while he put his guitar back against the couch he considered his next move. There were two things he could do. Wake her up anyway or let her crash at his place, he was leaning towards that second one.<br><br>A few more moments passed, as he looked at her but not seeing her really because he was only thinking about what to do, before he made his decision. Adam got his arms around her and he carried Sam to his bedroom. As he laid her in his bed, he took off her shoes and tucked her in. It was a cute sight, seeing her laying in his bed, fast asleep but he quickly left the room and closed the door as he got back to the living room and watched some more tv. Not for long though. Soon he found himself tired and headed to the shower.<br><br>For about ten minutes he enjoyed how the hot water found its way down his skin while he tried not to think about the woman that was laying in his bed. Adam didn't want to worry about those things yet. There was always tomorrow morning at breakfast. But when he found himself in the bed of the spare bedroom, his mind decided to go over everything that happened again as if he wanted to analyse it. It took Adam quite a while before he finally was asleep.<br></div>

				Sam woke up disoriented, the room she was in was dark, nothing seemed familiar. She laid in the comfortable bed completely still for a moment while she gathered her senses. Suddenly the realization of what happened came over her, she blushed bright red and sat up straight in the bed, looking around. She took the blanket off and looked around her trying to find out what time it was. Finally spotting the clock, she mumbled to herself, "2:17, If I leave now I won't have to excuse myself in the morning." <br><br>She got out of the bed quietly and went into the bathroom, she splashed a bit of water on her face, fully intending to sneak out like a thief in the middle of the night. She dried her face on a towel and stood for a moment looking at herself in the mirror. Her thoughts running wild as she fought with herself over the hasty decision she had made. She slipped quietly back into the bedroom and sat down on the edge of the bed, wondering how exactly she had gotten from the living room into the bed, She looked over at her shoes knowing that she didn't take them off either. <br><br>The realization that Adam had probably had to carry her in here and take her shoes off for her made her blush even more. "Oh god," she whispered, "he has to think I'm a complete waste of time, how embarrassing." She realized she was talking to herself and got quiet once again. She stood up and grabbed her shoes, she had the first one partially on when she realized that if she left right now, that she would never be able to face him again. Her mind raced as she thought about the way she felt about him and how well they seemed to get along. She didn't want to mess this up, but it seemed as if she already had. She knew she couldn't just leave so she slipped the shoe back off and placed them both back against the wall out of the way. <br><br>She knew she wouldn't be able to sleep at this point but laid back down. She looked around the room and saw the obvious signs that this room was his. She breathed deeply and could smell him on the pillow. She pulled the blanket back up around her, hoping that her racing mind would give her the option of more sleep. The more she thought of the man the more his scent overwhelmed her senses and she found herself wondering what she was getting herself into. <br><br>She decided to quit wrestling with her thoughts and let them run wild. She spent the rest of the night with her head on his pillow and thoughts of him running through her mind. The morning finally came and she sat up in the bed, looking around her, listening for the telltale sounds of someone else moving in the house, she couldn't hear anything but she couldn't spend another minute in his bed, she was going stir crazy. She put her shoes on, and made the bed, leaving it as if she had never been there. <br><br>She opened up the bedroom door, she was already blushing. Might as well get this done and over with, she thought to herself. She looked at the clock on the wall, and heard a noise from another area of the house. She turned in the direction she had heard it come from and walked towards it. Even though she had spent hours thinking about how to deal with this situation, now that the time was here she was once again clueless.

				<div style="text-align: justify;">Adam lay in his bed but he hadn't fallen asleep quickly when he got in it. Once he had, he slept peacefully through the night without worries. The man wasn't bothered by the noises that came from his bedroom, he hadn't even heard them. He didn't have a clue about what happened in the other bedroom. Not knowing about her wanting leave or that she had suddenly changed her mind when she sat on the side of the bed. In his mind he was reliving his past, the working with his dad. Learning how he had to deal with several difficulties. It wasn't something he dreamed about often but every once in a while it came back and he liked it. The thought kept the image of his father clear.<br><br>In the middle of his dream he woke up. Not by himself but by the sound of his clock radio telling him that it was time to get the day starting. He softly growled as he opened his eyes and his fingers rubbed in them, trying to help him waking up. For a moment he had all forgotten about Sam and he wondered why he had been sleeping in the spare bedroom. He didn't do too much thinking and got out of the bed. Making his way out of the bedroom he sighed. It had been a short night and his body told him that he wasn't used to that anymore.<br><br>When he was in the bathroom he looked at himself through the mirror as he stretched out. It was gonna be a long day and he'd better shower to wake up a little better. Quickly he got in his shower and let the water wash away all the fatigue that was still hiding in his body. When he got out he felt better but suddenly he heard something. That's when it struck his mind that Sam still was around. He heard her footsteps coming closer so he decided to get a towel around his waist in case she would come in. Another towel was used to dry his&nbsp; hair and his body.<br><br>Not a moment too soon did he put on that towel because he could hear her on the other side of the door trying to come in. She got in and he smiled awkwardly at her. "Uhm, ..." he was quiet for a moment before he found his words. "Well, good morning Sam, I guess." He looked down for a moment and then back at her. "Could you give me one moment? I'll be right there." As he finished drying himself he got out of the bathroom, still wearing the towel and he went to his room changing into clothes.<br><br>He came out wearing some old working jeans and a black shirt. Adam found her and smiled. "This is better I think. Could I get you some breakfast?"</div>

				Sam opened the door and there stood Adam, with nothing more than a towel around his waist and another in his hands. Sam stood there mortified for a moment. Her mind screaming at her for her lack of thought, Oh my god how stupid could I be! her mind raged at her. Luckily the shock kept her from speaking it aloud. She could feel the color rising in her cheeks and she quickly backed out of the room. Her voice high pitched as she whispered, "I'm sorry," and rapidly shut the door before he could even finish his sentence. <br><br>She walked into the living room once again, pacing for a moment. Her thoughts telling her to leave, that anything she could do or say would just make things even worse in this situation. She kept her eyes on the floor, her face fire red. What was she thinking anyways, why didn't she knock, it was so unlike her. This entire situation had her all messed up, from the sudden friendship, falling asleep while he played guitar, waking up in his bed, the lack of sleep, all of it had her acting out of the ordinary. She had no idea what had possessed her to open that door without knocking first, she shook her head while reprimanding herself. <br><br>Sam wanted to disappear, turn back time, anything that would have stopped all of this from happening, but she knew she had to stay. Escape wasn't an option, she had to stay and apologize properly for all her indiscretions. She wondered what he thought of her and how he would react. Then her mind went over how this would effect their business relationship, maybe it was a good thing he hadn't signed a contract yet. It wouldn't surprise her if he didn't want to at this point. How would she continue to face him? She stopped pacing when she heard his footsteps, and she knew she was about to find out. <br><br>She turned towards his voice, and looked from the floor up his body, she couldn't bring herself to look at his face yet and looked back down at the ground. "I'm sorry," she said, not even hearing what he said, "I don't know what I was thinking. This has just been....." she paused. "What? I'm sorry, what did you say?" she glanced up to see his smiling face and she shook her head a bit. Did he just ask me if I wanted breakfast, she thought to herself that she must have heard him incorrectly.

				<div style="text-align: justify;">The brown haired, young man was still smiling as Sam looked up at him again. She seemed surprised by his words, as if she had expected him to react completely different than how he just did. Not friendly and caring but apparently she thought he would blame her for staying, falling asleep on his couch and almost walking in on him while he was naked in the bath room. He thought about it in another way. To Adam this was all adding up to the cuteness that this girl had over over. She was a very pretty, cute lady to him and he didn't blame her at all.<br><br>He repeated his question as she didn't seem to have heard it in her own talking. "I've asked you whether you wanted some breakfast. I don't know at what time you usually start to work but I do think that you still have some time left for a decent breakfast." As he waited for her question, Adam walked around and got the table ready. He put some bread on it, together with spread. He didn't have an answer yet but she was allowed to get a seat and take what she wanted. Quickly he put some orange juice and two glasses on the table too.</div>

				Sam glanced over at the clock and then back at Adam. She could feel the heat in her cheeks and she knew she was blushing a fiery shade. She moved hesitantly over to the table, pulled out a chair. She stopped, looking back up at him while he had his back turned to her. She wondered to herself whether she should accept his invitation or not. She weighed her choices in her mind and looked back over at the clock. She noticed him looking at her and tried to stop herself from doing anything else that might embarrass her. She nodded her head, "Thank you for the invitation. Can I help you ready anything?" <br><br>She moved around the table waiting for instructions, trying to think of a way to lighten her own discomfort that her awkwardness had caused. "I really enjoyed you playing for me last night. It was very nice." She said the words quietly, hoping that he heard them and that she wouldn't have to repeat herself.

				<div style="text-align: justify;">Adam couldn't hold back a sweet smile as he noticed how much Sam blushed because of everything that had happened. One day of talk and so much awkwardness already. It was really cute but he had a feeling that she didn't really know how to deal with it. He had seen that she hadn't accepted his proposal right away. Apparently she had to think about it while it was a rather normal invite as she had stayed the night. He couldn't have kicked her out now after being good to her earlier.<br><br>She asked if she could help and he shook his head. "Not really, I do think that I have the most set up already. Unless there's something else you want. Just sit down and relax." He sat down himself too, grabbing some bread and fixing some breakfast for him while he listened to her words. "I enjoyed it too. You are just like an angel when you sleep, you know that? Sweet and adorable. I hope you were okay with me putting you in bed."</div>

				Sam smiled as she realized that Adam was treating this as if it was nothing, he helped to put her at ease some. She sat and busied herself with her preparation of the food and thought to herself how nice it was of him to act as if the events of the last day were completely normal. As he started to speak again she brought her eyes back up to his. Watching him as he spoke. "I'm glad you enjoyed it, I'm only sorry that I was too tired to have enjoyed a couple more songs." Sam said quietly, the blush finally fading from her cheeks but his next words found her smiling nervously and her cheeks pinking up again. She shook her head no in response to his compliment, unsure of what reaction she should give. "Thank you." she whispered almost under her breath, "I don't mind at all, I'm only sorry to have inconvenienced you. It was very sweet of you to let me have your bed." She averted her gaze momentarily and then glanced back at him. "I'm truly surprised I wasn't awakened by the movement. I'm usually a light sleeper." She began to eat, anything to busy herself so she wouldn't have to talk. Her attention on her food, she stole occasional looks at the man sitting across from her. She looked at her watch and then looked back up at him. "I'll have to be going soon, I have a couple of jobs lined up for this morning. I'm sorry to cut our morning short." With that out of the way she looked back down at the plate in front of her.

				<div style="text-align: justify;">A slight smile came on his face after her words. "Maybe I was lucky, I never said that I knew many songs to play." Adam winked quickly. "I'm just playing. Yeah, too bad that you had such a hard day of work. I had gladly played some more songs for you." While getting himself something to eat he continued. "Well, there's always a next time. At least I hope so. I haven't scared you away yet, have I?" Sam sat close to him and he could see how the colour on her cheeks changed every moment. She seemed to be a girl that blushed easily. Good that she was so cute with that.<br><br>She mentioned the getting her to bed again and he just commented. "It was nothing. Don't worry about it. The pleasure of carrying you was mine." A soft laugh followed, not to offend her but just the thinking back on how she lay there on his couch made him do so. "Yeah, you didn't wake up from me walking around and neither did you when I was showering. I guess you just needed the sleep very much tonight and I'm glad that you did seem to have had a decent nights rest." He started eating as she did and smiled a few times when he caught her looking at him. She was a special lady, he thought.<br><br>Suddenly she broke the silence with some news. "You got to do what you got to do. As an independent you just have to work hard for your cash and I can understand that you have to go quickly. I had fun yesterday. I hope you had as much fun as me." Adam finishes his last piece of bread and drinks his juice as he pretty much is just hoping that he will have a chance to do these things again with her.</div>

				Sam laughed at Adam's joke about not being able to play many songs. She glanced away from him as he winked, but she saw it out of the corner of her eye and her cheeks still colored slightly. Her eyes returned to his as he said he would have liked to play more for her. "I would have enjoyed that, and a next time sounds good," she said as she studied her food as if it was foreign object, one never seen before and never to be seen again, never taking her eyes from the food she continued, "No you haven't scared me away yet." <br><br>Sam listened to his response about her needing to leave right away. She looked back down at her watch. If she left in the next fifteen minutes she should be able to get home, cleaned up and still arrive at her first job on time. She was glad Adam understood why she needed to leave and didn't make it awkward. <br><br>Having finished her breakfast she stood from the table gathered the dishes and carried them to the sink, without even thinking about it, she made quick work of cleaning up the table and washing the dishes, well, all except what Adam was still using. "I had a good time as well. Thank you for everything Adam." She walked towards the door, pausing for just a moment she turned towards him. "We still have that contract to work out if you're still interested." She paused unsure of how to continue, finally deciding to just say what she had on her mind and getting it over with. "You do have my number, it's my cell so feel free to use it." She blushed slightly and turned back towards the door. "Thanks for everything," she said as she opened the door and started to leave.

				<div style="text-align: justify;">His new friend had left but he had a good feeling about this. She hadn't rejected seeing him again and although things were awkward sometimes he thought that she did have a good time with him. It wasn't spectacular, just some chatting and playing his guitar but the fact that she had fallen asleep on his couch did say enough, right? She was too comfortable to leave just like that and the morning was good too. He just wondered if there was an opportunity for more than friends. Adam had to find that out in the near future.</div>
