Glad that they would get to cook together tonight, she turned her attention towards him as she heard him sigh. Nodding slowly, she waited for him to continue. Needless to say, James referring to himself as [i]'the help'[/i] caused a distasteful frown to cross Freya's usually smiling features. Just like clockwork though, his words made her frown disappear, replacing it with embarassment. Would he seriously shout it from the rooftops if she asked him to? Getting back on topic, she bit her bottom lip nervously as he mentioned coming to her father about their relationship and where they wanted to take things. [color=0072bc][b]"O-Oh...Well..."[/b][/color] She cleared her throat. [color=0072bc][b]"I'm sure we can...talk to him about it. I'll...try to get a word in. I still have to attend the party that father is arranging. There are going to be plenty of his friends and their heirs around at the party. It would be a useful time to network, so I'll be counting on you to make sure everyone enjoys themselves."[/b][/color] She smiled. [color=0072bc][b]"I'm sure we won't run into those issues, but we will...talk to him about it. I'm really not sure how he'll react to the news.."[/b][/color] 

Sighing softly, she squeezed James' hand. [color=0072bc][b]"I'm not saying that he'll be against it, but he's kind of been working towards the whole 'strong financial ties' and all that. Don't get me wrong, James! I don't care that you're not some heir of a company or whatever. I'm just...letting you know what we'll be up against is all."[/b][/color] Facing towards the road, closed her eyes, leaning her head back on the seat. [color=0072bc][b]"I'm not saying to push this off for another time, or that I don't think it's important, but we're having a wonderful evening so far. Why don't we just get back to the apartment and enjoy our time together, hm?"[/b][/color] 

Happy to feel the car settle into park, Freya moved to grab a few bags out of the trunk and made her way up the stairs. Figuring most of the things they would need would be in her apartment, she moved over towards her side and inserted her key, smiling when it gave the click to let her know it was unlocked. Getting the door open, she shut it behind James and put the bags on the counter top. Looking towards James, Freya pulled her hair up into a messy bun to keep it out of her face, and the food before rolling up her sleeves and washing her hands at the sink. Unsure if she would be cutting anything, she grabbed her knife set that she had bought when they had replaced James' culinary set. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she turned to James. [color=0072bc][b]"What do you want me to do, James?" [/b][/color]

~*~*~*~*~

Working with James in the kitchen went smoother than she thought it would! Freya had been afraid that she would get in his way with her inexperience, but they were able to make the dough and get the pizza in the oven in no time! Now they just had to kill twenty minutes while the pizza baked. Suggesting that they put on the television to watch an episode of a cartoon that was playing, the timer went off before she knew it. Standing, she stood to the side as she watched James pull the pizza out of the oven. [color=0072bc][b]"It looks great!"[/b][/color] She cheered, jumping up and down a little from her excitement. [color=0072bc][b]"I can't wait to taste it!"[/b][/color] 

Gingerly grabbing a piece after letting it sit a minute, she 'mmmm'd in delight. It was so cheesy! And gooey! Swallowing the cheesy goodness, she giggled. [color=0072bc][b]"Thank you for teaching me how to do this, James! It was a blast!"[/b][/color] She leaned up, placing a soft kiss to his cheek. [color=0072bc][b]"Let's go watch a comedy sketch and maybe head to bed? Before you know it we'll be getting ready to head back home."[/b][/color] Freya moved to the couch and watching the comedy special, was in a fit of giggles near the end. With pizza finished, she looked towards James. [color=0072bc][b]"We should totally cook together more often, James. I had a lot of fun!"[/b][/color] Standing up, she stretched upwards. 

[color=0072bc][b]"Ready to turn in for the evening?"[/b][/color] She moved towards her bedroom door and gave a small yawn. [color=0072bc][b]"I'm going to shower and head to bed. You want to go change and come back?"[/b][/color] She asked curiously as she pushed her door open and grabbed a change of clothes, coming back into the kitchen as not to leave her question unanswered. [color=0072bc][b]"It's not weird for you to sleep in my room tonight, is it?" [/b][/color]
