More Than Your Friend

It was the middle of the night when my phone rang, jarring me out of my sleep.
"Hello?" I croaked, who on earth would be calling me at 2:30 AM?
"Hey Alex?"
It was John! And he sounded really upset.
"Yes, it's me, what's wrong?"
"I can't take much more of this. I need a break from the road. I'm coming to see you for a few days…" he broke off, sounding close to tears.
"Aww sweetie, I'm sorry you're not happy." I said.
I meant every word. John and I had been best friends since we were 8 years old and My parents and I had moved into the house across the street from the Cenas.
"I went to see The Marine last week, you were awesome!" I said, trying to cheer him up a little.
'Thanks hun. Listen, my flight gets in at around 6 pm tomorrow, why don't we hang out when I get there? I can grab a cab from the airport, and come right to your house." He said.
"Sure, that sounds great…How about dinner and a movie? I've got a really great DVD collection"
"Cool. Listen, I better get some sleep, I have one last personal appearance to do tomorrow but then that's it! After that I'm on vacation. Anyway I'll call you when I touch down in Toronto."
"Okay, See you then." I said "Bye!"
The next day at work, my mind kept drifting to thoughts of John. I couldn't wait to see him. We only got to see each other a couple times a year…more if he flew me out to see him at various WWE events.
I knew he loved his job. But at the same time I could really understand why he needed some time away from it all and I was determined to to make it as awesome for both of us as possible.
Finally I finished work and headed home, it was a normal Friday for everyone else in Toronto, but for me it was super special!
I hurried home to start dinner. I wanted to have it ready and on the table when John arrived.
I was making one of my favourite meals for dinner, Lasagna and Caesar Salad! I made a very quick stop on the way home to grab a bottle of red wine.
Once I got home, I put the lasagna in the oven to cook, and made the salad. Once that was in the fridge, I went to have a quick shower and dress for dinner.
I dressed casual, deciding on faded jeans and a red and white striped shirt. I put on my perfume and just as I finished doing my hair, the phone rang.
"Hello?" I said hitting the speaker button.
"Alex? It's John. I just got off the plane." He said.
"Okay, I'll see you when you get here." I said.
I hung up and went to the kitchen to check on the lasagna and set the table.
