Setting
Amiras's home is on the outskirts of the city away from most of the business of the inner city. Treelines separate her home from her neighbors, giving her home a good bit of privacy. It has two spacious bedrooms and two baths both located on the second floor of the house. Downstairs along with the living room and kitchen there is a study and a door to a porch on the side of the house next to a sun room near the back. It has a decent sized backyard.

Amira smiled and nodded. "Well, I will keep that in mind. If I ever turn down a dance with you, well assume im either crazy, or mad at you. I'll leave it to you to figure out which one it is. " She said with a little bit of a smirk as they started dancing with each other. "I still need to teach you how to samba some time..." She said softly, looking up at him
Weston laughed softly when Amira commented that he should assume she was either crazy or angry. He twirled her around a bit, his grip on her waist a little tighter than usual. "I can't imagine you having any reason to be legitimately mad at me. You pretend it all the time, but I think we both know you couldn't be mad at me," he teased gently, a smile on his lips. He grinned a bit when she said she still needed to teach him to samba. "It's been months that you keep saying you're going to do that, and you never do," he teased.
Amira shrugged a little bit. "Oh I dont know what you'd do that would set me off. Some times im just irritable though." She said and shook her head at him. "I COULD get mad at you. I couldnt stay mad at you though..." She said and sighed a little bit at him. "And I will teach you one day. But I would need an outfit change, Samba is better suited for more form fitting clothing." She said with a smirk.
Weston laughed a little and shook his head. "I don't think I could get you that mad at me. Not mad enough to turn down a dance," he said before gently dipping her, holding her there a moment before pulling her back up close to him. "More form fitting clothing? Now I'm intrigued," he told her with a slight smirk. "Would I also have to wear more form-fitting clothing? I imagine that would be somewhat restrictive when it comes to movement, wouldn't it?" he asked.
Amira raised an eyebrow. "Hmmm I dont know about that...." She said just before he dipped her. "And no, you would be fine. Samba dancing has a lot to do with little movements, mainly made by the woman. The movements are best observed when a womans hips and waist are better displayed. Thats why id need to wear form fitting, yet movable clothing. Like leggings, short shorts, or a pencil skirt with a slit to allow movement." She explained.
Weston smirked slightly when she said that she didn't think he could get her mad enough to refuse a dance. "Really? Name one thing I could do that would get you mad enough to refuse a dance," he said softly. "Besides the obvious dealbreakers, of course, because if I do anything really horrible I'd expect you to kick my ass out on the spot," he added quickly. He nodded when she talked about the movements the woman made. "So I don't really need to learn too much? You'll do all the work?" he asked teasingly.
Amira raised an eyebrow. "You could stew the bunnies while I was away. That would make me very mad." She said and glared at him for a second. "And its cute that you think I could kick your butt. Real cute." She said and shook her head at him. "You need to learn how to mock my movements in a more masculine way. Thats how the dance goes. " She said, a small smirk on her face. "Do you know anything about samba dancing?" She asked softly.
Weston held back his laughter when Amira commented that she'd be mad if he stewed the bunnies while she was away. "Oh come now, Amira, you know that's not going to happen," he said with a grin. "And of course you could kick my ass. You're my dearest friend and I care too much about you to hurt you. That seems like an unfair advantage, but it's still an advantage," he added. He shook his head when she asked if he knew anything about the samba dancing. "Nope. Not a thing. My only experience in dancing is waltzing about in a ballroom."
Amira huffed. "It better not. Especially since you play with them when you think im not going to be coming home on my lunch break." She said and leaned in a little closer. "You can stop pretending you dont, I already know." She whispered and then leaned back into a normal stance. When he said he didnt have any knowledge about samba dancing, a wicked little smirk made its way on to her face, though she was quick to replace it with a soft smile. "Oh good. That just means i'll have more fun teaching you." She said in a cheery tone.
Weston's face went a bit red when Amira leaned in closer and told him that she knew he played with the bunnies while she was at work. "Well, maybe if you would stay at work during your work hours we wouldn't be having these problems," he teased gently. He raised an eyebrow at the wicked smirk that came to her lips. "You know, it's a damn good thing that bastard in your tribe didn't marry you. You're too much for a man to handle," he teased gently, twirling her around and then pulling her close. "Oh! I had a thought. You should invite the girls over tomorrow night to join us for dinner. I'll cook," he said.
Amira smirked. "Ha, made you blush." She teased. "And I own my own business, I can leave when I want. I dont technically have to do anything but make chocolate and manage the finances and things. I do what i want" She said and stuck her tongue out at him. She laughed a little when he said that she was too much for a man to handle. "Apparently so." She said simply and then nodded. "Okay, I'll invite them over. They should all be able to make it. Lotties kids are with her parents right now, so even she should be free." She said with a smile.
Weston smiled a bit, amused when she pointed out that she'd made him blush. "I have no idea what you're talking about," he replied with a shake of his head. He grinned when she said that even Lottie would be able to make it. "That's wonderful. I'll have to figure out what to make. What do the girls like? Do they have any allergies or is there anything any of them don't like?" he asked softly, blinking in concern.
Amira giggled. "One day i'll make you blush real good. And then im gonna tell the girls ALL about it." She said and happily swayed while they danced. "Serena is allergic to coconut...Lottie isnt allergic to any foods I know of, and I wouldnt know about Nixy. But maybe just stay away from really big allergens." She said and shrugged a little bit. "Oh, and Lottie refuses to eat shellfish of any kind. She will look at you like you're nuts..." She said and giggled a little before letting go of him. "Alright mister. You finish your tarte. I need to head to bed, the wines got a sleeper hold on me, and im getting very sleepy." She said and stood on her tippy toes to kiss his cheek. "Try not to think too much." She said softly. "Goodnight Weston." She said as she walked up the stairs and headed to bed.
Weston laughed softly when she said that she would make him blush real good. "Sure you will," he teased. He nodded when she explained to him what not to cook. "No coconut or shellfish. Got it," he said. He stepped back when she let go and he laughed softly, nodding. "That's fine," he said. He smiled when she leaned up to kiss his cheek. "I'll try," he said softly. "Have a good night, Amira." He finished up the chocolate dessert she'd left him with and then he cleaned up his dishes and retreated upstairs himself. He spent some time in the study getting some work done and thinking about what to cook for dinner tomorrow before he headed to bed himself.
Amira got up the next day and things went about like they normally did. She and Weston went for their run, had breakfast, and then she went to work. She invited the girls over, telling them Weston was cooking and Lottie and Serena jumped on the chance to see if the man could cook. She was happy when Nixy agreed to come over as well. When work was over she walked with them all back to the house and let them in. "I'll be right back" She said softly. Lottie smirked. "Okay okay. Go get your man." She said and Amira turned slowly. "He is not my man. No bunnies for you missy." She said and Lottie huffed before Amira disappeared upstairs and knocked on the study door. "The girls are here." She said softly. "Fair warning, Lottie is already being a pain in my back side...."
Weston had already figured out what he wanted to cook when he heard Amira come upstairs. He'd gone earlier to buy the ingredients he was missing and was excited to cook for the girls. He'd barely managed to get any work done. He headed to the door, chuckling when Amira said that Lottie was already being a pain. "Of course she is," he said, closing the study door behind him and heading downstairs with her. He smiled when he saw the three of them. "Serena, Lottie, always a pleasure," he said, giving each of them a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek before turning towards Phoenix. "And you must be Phoenix. I've heard a lot about you," he said, offering a hand.
Phoenix was excited when Amira invited the three of them to come over. She was looking forward to getting to know Weston a bit more intimately, having only seen him from a distance before, and she thought that tonight would be fun. She waited with the girls while Amira went to get him, a smirk on her lips when Lottie called him Amira's man. "So, what's the deal there? They're not dating, right?" she asked Lottie softly, wanting to be certain she had things straight. When he came downstairs she feigned a surprised blink, though the blush that came to her cheeks when he approached her was real. "Yes, I'm Phoenix, but you can just call me Nixy," she said, shaking his hand gently.

"Yes, I'm Phoenix, but you can just call me Nixy," she said, shaking his hand gently.
Serena looked over at Nixy and shook her head. " They arent. They definitely should be though. They both fight it though, especially Amira. I dont think Weston says much about it. But Amira straight up refuses to even consider it." She said and sighed. Lottie sighed too. "How she can live with that hunk of a man and not want to be romantically involved, I dont know...But its Amira...She's a strange one.." She sighed just before Weston came down with Amira. The girls happily hugged Weston and both about melted at the cheek kisses and then turned their attention to him and Nixy. Amira walked down with Weston and just stood by with a polite smile on her face while everyone said hello.
Phoenix raised an eyebrow as the girls said that Amira and Weston should be dating. She was intrigued now. Were they saying this because they actually saw potential between the two of them, or was it just because Weston was attractive and they wanted to entertain their fantasies through her? She didn't have much time to dwell on it before Weston and Amira came down, though, and she was amused by how the girls seemed to melt at his cheek kisses. The man could certainly work his way into a woman's heart, that much was for sure.
Weston smiled when Phoenix greeted him and then turned his gaze towards Amira. "I can pour some wine for the four of you if you want to go sit down," he said gently, smiling. "I'm sure getting to sit and relax while you talk is going to be a welcome change from talking while you work," he added with a chuckle before looking back at the girls. "Wine for all three of you?" he asked, knowing already that Amira would want the wine. He already knew which wine to serve them, having picked one that would work nicely ahead of the meal that he had planned. He'd done a bit of prep work ahead of time, so all he really had to do was put the dinner together and start it cooking - that left him more time to sit with the girls and talk.

Amira nodded a little bit with a giggle, already knowing that he knew she wanted some. Lottie gave Weston a look. "I have kids. Pour the wine." She teased. Serena giggled. "I dont...So...Also pour some for me please." She said with a giggle. They waited on Nixy to answer him and then Amira took them all to the sun room and let them sit down. Serena was staring out the window at the bunnies that were hopping about, absolutely melting over them.
Both Phoenix and Weston laughed at Lottie and Serena's responses when he asked if they wanted wine. "Sure, I'll have some," Phoenix told him with a nod. She figured she could safely have one or two glasses, though she shouldn't have too much. She had to be on her guard still, so she couldn't compromise herself with too much wine. She then followed Amira and the girls out to the sunroom, sitting down and grinning when she saw the rabbits. They certainly were adorable; she could see why Weston was apparently so smitten.
After Phoenix answered, Weston nodded. "Four glasses of wine it is. That's going to have to take two trips," he said with a chuckle. He had never worked as a waiter before, and servers always tended to have those trays upon which to carry things anyways. He couldn't carry four glasses at once. He headed into the kitchen to pour the wine while the girls headed into the sunroom. He brought two glasses out and handed them to Lottie and Serena, and then he headed back to the kitchen for the second pair of glasses, handing them to Phoenix and Amira. "If you ladies need anything I'll just be in the kitchen. I'll come and join you once I've got the food going, though," he said before starting off.

Amira shook her head at Weston and his nonsense about two trips. Amira had been a waitress before, and they did have a drink tray in the kitchen that he apparently didnt know about. But she would tell him that later. Serena and Lottie happily took the wine and said thank you and nodded when Weston to let him know if they needed anything. "Such a gentleman." Lottie said and Serena nodded. "Oh just wait till you taste his cooking...Its very fancy." She said and the girls just blinked. "Its...Fancy..?" Lottie asked and Amira nodded. "He doesnt know how to make a meal thats not fancy." She said and the girls huffed. "Why do you have to be the lucky one that gets to live with him?" Lottie sighed and Amira just laughed.
Phoenix smiled, taking the wine glass and softly thanking Weston before setting it down. She had to fight back a laugh when Lottie commented on what a gentleman he was, since she obviously didn't know the half of it, but she couldn't help laughing a bit when Amira discussed his fancy cooking. "I don't know about you three, but I can definitely pardon a man for having fancy tastes," she said with a laugh. "I'm sure whatever he makes is going to be great."
Weston headed to the kitchen to get to work on cooking while the girls chatted. He poured himself a glass of wine and sipped it while he cooked, in between steps. He was preparing an aubergine and tomato parmigiana with some spinach ricotta bites as a side. He had considered dessert, but figured the girls probably ate plenty of chocolate over the course of the day and wouldn't be disappointed by a lack of dessert; he still wasn't entirely comfortable baking anyways.

Amira nodded a little bit. "I certainly do not mind it when he cooks. Everything he makes tastes great. No complaints here." She said and both of the girls just glared at her. "My husband doesnt cook at all..." Lottie said and Serena sighed. "I dont let mind anywhere near the kitchen after he managed to set it on fire...." She said and shook her head. Amira laughed a little bit. "Yeah, I wouldnt either." She said and sighed a little bit.
Phoenix was definitely eager to see what Weston would end up cooking and how it would taste. She raised an eyebrow slightly when Lottie and Serena talked about their husbands. "I sure hope they do other stuff around the house to make up for the lack of cooking," she said to them and then she smirked. "Maybe you should make them become friends with Weston. He could probably teach them a thing or two. Does he clean?" she asked, looking towards Amira curiously.
Lottie and Serena looked at Nixy like she was a crazy woman. "My husband will fold clothes...And by that I mean he will fold them in such a way that makes them bulky so I have to re-fold everything so that they fit in the dresser..." Serena said and Lottie sighed. "I got kids, and he helps with them at least. He kinda has to, theyre half his. But as far as chores go? I can only trust him to half ass things." Lottie said. Amira shook her head and looked at Nixy. "Well, he does now. I taught him how to do everything correctly, and he helps around the house now. Mostly in places that he occupies the most, and hes pretty good about doing dishes too." She said and Lottie and Serena groaned and just gave her a jealous look.
