"I like this view." House alisema as he sat a juu the roof of Ariel's apartment building. She sat down in the chair beside him and handed him a beer.
"Thanks...I use to always hide on the rooftop at the hospital." He said.
She smiled as she drank some of her own beer.
"Your own hidden sanctuary?"
"Sort of, but I was always found."
"It's chilly tonight... maybe we should have stayed for the 11:15 showing." She alisema as she leaned further back into her chair.
"No movie can match this." He alisema as he pointed the the lit up skyscrapers and the full moon above.
She turned to look at him. He had a soft smile playing on his lips. He turned his attention away from the skyline and on to her. He took off his blazer and handed it to her.
"Thanks." She alisema softly.

"Why did wewe disappear last night?" She asked him as she handed him a bowl of popcorn. They both had retreated from the roof to her apartment living room.
He propped his foot on juu of a mto and sighed.
"Wasn't in the mood for rejection."
"You wouldn't have been rejected. I was kind of annoyed kwa the fact that wewe were x-raying me with your stare, but I would have heard wewe out."
He nodded in thanks.
"This is the longest 'outing' I've ever had." He alisema as he looked at the clock to find it was 1am.
"It has been kind of endless." She alisema with a smirk. He playfully rolled his eyes.
"Would wewe like to have chajio, chakula cha jioni at my place tomorrow, au technically tonight?" He asked her.
"Yes. That would be nice."
The two just smiled at one another for a moment.
"Good...I should probably get going."
She walked him to the door. He leaned in to kiss her on the cheek, unsure of how far she'd let him take things. At the last moment she turned her head so that his lips met hers.
"You tricked me." He alisema with a pleased grin on his face. She gently stroked his cheek and then backed away.
"Goodnight, Greg." She alisema with a smile.
"Goodnight, Ariel."
