Allan picked Sophia up to get some groceries. He was beginning to find her very kind and a good friend. He didn't know if she felt the same though, due to the phallus image he had sent while drunk.

"So, how was your night?"

"Well, other than your drunk texting, fairly quiet, just watched some Netflix."

"I'm so sorry about that. Really, I didn't know-"

She smiled and chuckled.

"It's okay, really. Just don't let it happen again."

They got to HyVee and grabbed a cart that was sitting in the corral while Sophia grabbed her shopping list from her purse.

"Do you wanna split up?"

"What do you need first?"

They went through the store together getting veggies, noodles, soups and sauces. Sophia had to grab some microwave meals as well along with some fresh meat from the deli, while Allan got eggs and cheese.

Once finished they checked out and we're on their way back to Sophia's apartment when Sophia made a suggestion.

"Would you like to come over later for some coffee and cake?"

"I'd love to, what time?"

"How about 430? You can stay for dinner too if you'd like."

He nodded and smiled widely.

"I'll see you around 430!"

Sophia waved and headed inside her apartment while Allan sat there for a moment.

'What the heck... She invited me over for coffee? Even after everything?'

By about 3 he had his groceries all put away and had set the hamburger for dinner the next night out.

As he headed back over to Sophia's apartment he got this weird feeling. Like a warmth spreading from his chest. It felt nice, and scary.

He knocked on her door and she opened the door while wearing her flour covered apron.

"Do.. do you need some help?"

He chuckled softly and he walked inside as she closed the door.

"I was trying to make my grandma's German chocolate cake, and I made brownies."

She chuckled and he laughed softly.

"I'm sure they taste just as much as you are pretty."

Sophia laughed and blushed at his comment and he blushes softly as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Let me go and put my apron in the wash and change, help yourself to the brownies and coffee."

She headed to the end of the hall and closed the door as he helped himself to the brownies and coffee, as he sipped his coffee, he looked over and saw Sophia in some skinny jeans and an oversized sweater.

"H-Hey"

He stuttered as he felt that warm feeling again. But it wasn't just his chest this time.

'Not the time!!!'

She smiled and got herself a mug and poured her coffee.

"So how do you like Sioux Falls?"

He tried adjusting himself so it wouldn't be noticable, hopefully his shirt was long enough to cover it.

"Oh, i-its been great. I used to live here before hand, I moved to Portland, Oregon when I was 8."

She nodded and gave him a weird look.

'He's sitting super weird. Should I have put on baggier clothes? Am I fat in these?'

"That's nice, where did your mom work?"

He tried and tried to hide it, finally he got up before he could answer.

"I'm sorry, I gotta go. I just remembered I have meat in the oven!"

He ran out the door and to his car, leaving Sophia confused, and a little hurt.

"Was it something I said..?"
