Hi. Sorry it's taking me so long to update, but life has been busy. Here's the next chapter and I will update as soon as I can.

Also, I'll try to make them as long as the first one, but I don't know how often that will happen. So if you're looking for a story with long chapters, this might not be the story for you. Although I think it's good, I'm just a little biased.

A re-cap from the last chapter since it's been so long since I've updated and you might not remember or be too lazy to click the back arrow button ;) Haha.

"I've been real good." Johnny replied, and then gave Baby one of his signature smiles that made her melt even after all this time. All of a sudden, his arms were around her, encircling her in a brief hug. It felt wonderful.

"So. How do you like teaching people how to dance?" 'Smooth, Baby, Real smooth. As if you don't already know the answer,' she thought. She did know the answer, or at least, she did eight years ago. Baby would have liked to think that Johnny hadn't changed much in what he liked to do, but he might have. And she also knew that she was not the same young girl he fell in love with in the summer of 1963….

"I actually really like teaching people. It's almost better than at Kellerman's because it's not just a summer job and my boss isn't as strict as Max was."

"Who do you teach?" Not that Baby thought he taught women who were only interested in one thing, because they were; she knew Johnny was better than that. But she really did want to know whom Johnny taught, hoping they were not the same kind of people he had taught at Kellerman's.

"Well, I teach mainly anyone who wants to learn, I guess. Kind of like I did at Kellerman's, but it's different. It might not sound that way, but it is. For instance, I don't let anyone get close to me anymore. I let so many people get close to me back then…" Like me, Baby thought. Dies he regret letting me get that close? It was almost as if Johnny could still read her mind because he continued with, "and no, I don't ever regret letting you get that close. You're the only one I let get that close. Sure, I may have slept with a bunch of different women," he said that last part quietly "but I never allowed them to see the real me. I let you see who I really was, Baby, and I don't regret a second of it. Even when we stopped talking."

They sat for a few moments in silence before Johnny asked Baby how she was doing.

"I'm doing well. I work at a magazine and I'm the 'news and events' person. Basically, I write about anything that's going on in the news. Since we're a weekly magazine, I have to pick topics that won't blow over in a few days."

"So… what do you think about the Vietnam War? Johnny asked her.

"I think we need to get our troops out of there before the Vietnamese try to hurt anything else or try and capture any other city. I think that Quong Tri being reduced to nothing is unspeakable! Actually, I think the whole war needs to end ASAP. Far too many American's have been killed." When she asked him what he thought of the war, he said that he agreed with her, that it needed to end soon. But Johnny must not have been too interested in talking about Vietnam because immediately after answering her question, he asked Baby what had happened to her after she lost contact with him.

"Well, I went to college, Johnny, as you know."

"Yeah, I know that, Baby, but what happened between us loosing contact with each other and now?" He must have seen the look of hurt on her face because he quickly added, "Baby, I don't blame you for what happened at all. If anyone, it was me. You were so busy with college and things, and I should have written you more times just to see how you were."

"No, Johnny, please don't blame yourself. I was busy, that is very true, but I should have written you more, too. I guess I just… I don't know why I didn't write you back. It wasn't because I met some new guy at college, or I thought I was better than you. I would have told you if I met someone else and not just left you in the cold, and I never would have thought I was better than you."

"Baby, it's fine." Johnny interrupted her rambling. "You just got busy. I would never accuse you of cheating or thinking you are better than me, although you deserve better than me. It happens to the best of people, the best of relationships. It could happen to anyone. Now, answer my first question that brought us into talking about how we are both to blame for loosing track of each other: What have you been doing between the time we lost contact and now?"

"Well, first of all, Johnny, I do not think I deserve better than you. Please don't belittle yourself by thinking that because it is simply not true in any way, shape, or form." She was hurt that Johnny thought she deserved better than him. She thought she deserved better than Johnny, but telling him this now would only lead to them arguing more, and neither of them wanted that. I'll tell him that later, she thought.

"Fine. But what have you been doing all this time?" He laughed before continuing, "Will you ever answer that question?"

"I'll answer it right now!" She also laughed "I decided to major in economics of underdeveloped countries, although I wasn't too sure what I could do with it, and then I realized I could write for a magazine, so I decided to minor in journalism. That still didn't mean I was guaranteed a job no matter where I applied, but I was really happy when I got a job at the magazine. I was even happier when that job turned out to be for the new section. Anyway, college was really hard, and I don't think I would go back and relive it. Enough about me though. You know I don't like talking about myself. How have you been?"

"I'll tell you if you go out with me tonight." Baby couldn't believe what she was hearing. Johnny actually wanted to go out with her again? "Unless you are seeing someone." Johnny quickly added.

"No, it's okay. I'm not seeing anyone end I would love to go out with you tonight."

"Sounds good. Meet me here at… 6:00? does that sound good? I know it's only four hors away, so if you need more time to get ready…" Johnny teased.

"You know I'm not the kind of girl who spends hours getting ready! 6:00 is fine."

"Okay. See you then." Johnny and Baby hugged again and then parted ways for a few hours.

This is going to be an interesting night. Baby thought.

A/N: Okay, so let me know what you think of this chapter. I tried to make it as long as I could while also not making it too long and I'd neglect my homework. I'll try to update as often as I can, but that might not be too often.

Read and review please! They make my day. [=
