Aliyah smiled and she shrugged.  "I figured dinner in at my place would be a good plan.  Dress casual, it's just us."  She said.  "We will probably order in."  She told him.  "Just a quiet night in if that works for you."  She said.  


---------------------------------

Aliyah hurried home after work.  She showered again and dressed in another pair of leggings and over sized t-shirt.  She packed up her laundry and headed to the laundry area in the apartment complex.  Sure she could have had an apartment with a stackable washer and dryer, but it was cheaper not to.  She tossed her clothes in several washers and headed back to her apartment.  She called the cable company and upgraded her internet package to make streaming easier.  Strangely enough it was actually cheaper this way.  She logged onto to Amazon and used PRIME NOW, which promised delivery in two hours.  Thanks to Duncans very generous tipping in the past she bought a low end TV and streaming device.  

She usually just downloaded and watched movies on her tablet, but having company would probably make that harder.  Having some time before she had to switch the laundry she started cleaning like a mad woman.  Everything got a good scrub down, not that her place needed it, but it made her feel better.  

She dashed down to the laundry room and tossed her stuff into the dryers and headed back to her apartment.  She glanced down at her watch and realized she still had time. She should probably start packing and tossing.  She sighed and started at her book shelf.  She had taken the time to grab a few extra boxes from work.  She had gotten one box packed, and had started a list of books to repurchase in ebook form, then ran down to get her laundry.  

She had just finished folding and putting laundry away when she heard him knock on the door.  She made a face, she had lost track of time and not changed.  She hopped over a partially packed box, as a matter of fact, the reused box from the new TV and dashed toward the door.  She opened the door and gave him a grin.  "Come in!" She said brightly moving aside so he could enter.  She closed the door and gave him a soft kiss.  Excuse the mess.  I WAS sorting and packing but completely lost track of time."  She told him.  

She moved away and over to the boxes and quickly scribbled "DONATE" on the outside and stacked them against the wall.  "Did you have a good day?"  She asked as she gestured for him to take a seat.
