A/N: I am in an absolutely fantastic mood. Hope you're having a good one too :)
"West!"
Molly looked up from the table she was sitting at. She was in the library waiting for Charlie, and now, there he was, standing across the room, smiling.
He walked over.
"Since when am I, West? And weren't you ever taught not to shout in a library?"
He took a seat. "Don't worry about it. Susie won't kick me out."
"Who's Susie?"
"The librarian."
"That is not her name," she said in an accusing tone.
"It's not?"
"No, her name is Ms. Berman. And if you're on a first-name basis, it would be Patti."
He grinned. "Of course you would know that."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing. I can just see you starting up genuine conversations with her and you patiently listening to her talk to you about her ten grandbabies."
"Oh my gosh," she said with wide eyes.
"What?"
"You're a jerk."
He laughed. "Is it because I'm right?"
"No, it's because you're a jerk. People, decent people, would learn a person's name especially when they see them often." Her words were serious, but she didn't say them as harshly as she meant it.
Amused, he said, "So, it's Ms. Berman."
"Yes."
"Are you the only one who calls her Patti?"
"I don't know."
"She talks to you about her grandkids?"
She glared at him. "She only has one."
"You're such a softy, West."
"Get your notes out already. Williams."
"Yes ma'am." He pressed his lips together but didn't get another feisty answer as he had wanted.

"Can you make it fly?"
Nick smiled and picked up the bottom corners of the blanket. He shook it out over her.
"Again!"
"Again?"
Sammy nodded her head and laughed as the blanket danced in the air right above her.
He chuckled and sat on the bed, beside her.
Nick had gotten home just a little while ago, so tucking her in was all the time he had to spend with her today.
"I'm really proud of you, sweetie," he started.
She smiled wide.
"Do you know why?"
She shook her head, but excitement remained plastered on her face.
"I got an email from Ms. Green today."
Her eyes grew a little wider as she waited, unsure where the conversation was headed.
"Do you know what she told me?"
She shook her head.
"Well, she told me that you were the strongest reader in the whole class, and you are always trying your best with all your work."

Romance"Oh my gosh, you scared me." Nick looked her up and down. She was in nothing but an oversized t-shirt and underwear. A bra was lacking too, revealing the natural shape of her breasts. "I thought you went to sleep," she said and casually dropped the...
