p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"He had been up most of the night. Being the good business partner he was, Johnny let Lulu go home to be with her husband Dante so that left him to close up the Haunted Star. Johnny didn't mind too much. All the work he did there kept him from working with his father/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"His dad had been trying to groom him so when he retired or died Johnny could take over the family business. He tried to tell his father that the corporate world wasn't for him but his dad wasn't having it. And that was putting it lightly. Maria, Johnny's mother suggested they see how there son did at co-running the Haunted Star before they try and force him into something he's not keen on doing. His mother figured if he succeed his father would see this is something he really wanted to do and get off his back. He could only hope that it would work. But his father was nothing if not persistent. As he laid in bed he thought the only bright spot to this week was that his father was going to be on a business trip for a few days./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""John are you awake?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Johnny turned his head to see his sister with her head sticking out of the door that she partially had opened."Yea I'm awake."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""I heard you come in late last night. I'm assuming work must have been good." His sister said as she walked into his rather large room./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Wasn't too bad. I stayed late so Lulu could go home and be with Dante." He said sitting up in bed./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""That must have been the sixth night in a row you've come home late."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Lulu and I just want to make sure everything with the club is going smoothly."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""I'm sure it is" She said as she laid herself down next to her brother./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""So did you see dad before he left?" Johnny asked her./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""No he left pretty early this morning. Why did you two have a fight again?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""You could say that." Johnny said as he got out from under the covers and reached over to the near by chair and grabbed a pair of jeans that had been draped across it's arm./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""You know how dad is. I don't know why you let him get to you."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""I try not to Claudia but he just wont give up. Every chance he gets he brings up how the company could really use me and how it'd mean a lot to him."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""And how he's not getting any younger?" Claudia said as she stretched out on her brothers big comfy bed./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Yes! And how when he retires or god forbid dies that someone in the family should take over." He said throwing his hand up in the air in annoyance./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Dad will never die, he'll out live us all."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Probably! And when I'm on my own death bed he'll tell me that I made a huge mistake not taking him up on his offer." Johnny told his sister as he started buttoning up the shirt he had just put on./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""And you know dad's whole speech about how when he was our age he had already started his company and was dating mom."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""I must of heard that one about five thousand times."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Does dad think that your suppose to be like he was at your age?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""He must the way he keeps bringing it up." Johnny said as he sat down next to his sister./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Claudia rolled over and propped her head on her elbow to look at her brother before she spoke. "The last serious relationship you had was back in high school Dad knows you, does he really think you'll find a girl, take over the company, and get married in one fellow swoop? I mean who was the last girl to lay in this bed?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Honestly?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Honestly John."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""You" Johnny told her./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Get out" Claudia said as she slapped her brothers arm./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Really. It's not like I've been single since Lulu and I broke up but she's the only serious girlfriend I've had."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""But you've had to of brought a girl back here at some point."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Nope. I guess I just didn't think any of the girls I was with were special enough to bring home ya know?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Well I'm sure you'll find someone soon enough. I mean you and you and Griffin go out to the bars often enough that you'd have to." Claudia said as she got up from the bed./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""You would think so." Johnny replied./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Seriously you tell Griffin that next time you go out that I want him to help you find a girlfriend. Maybe he knows a cute nurse at the hospital that's single that he can set you up with."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""I'll make a mental note for when I call him later." He said sarcastically./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""I'm serious John." The dark haired girl said as she made her way to the door."You need a girl in your life."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""Don't worry I'll get right on it."/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;""You better!" Claudia yelled as she walked out the door./p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"To be honest Johnny wasn't really ready for a relationship. There was a a lot he wasn't sure about in his life at the moment and there was no way he could throw a woman into the mix. Even if he was ready for a relationship and found a girl worth dating she'd have to be someone who could put up with crazy family. And definitely someone who understood him. Most of the woman he had met didn't really know who he was or even try to get to know him. To most woman in Port Charles they thought he was just a man with a pretty face and a whole lot-a money.. But there was a lot more to Johnny Zacchara then a pretty face and a well known last name. He was someone that was very special, who if had found the right girl would treat her like a queen. If you were to ask Lulu she''d tell you the exact same thing. Even when they broke up he was still good to her. That was just the kind of guy he was. And when he was in a real relationship it was about something more then just sex. He had to admit though he had his fair share of one night stands So maybe at this point in time in his life being single was the best option. Completely single. No dating and no one night stands. At least till he got himself straightened out But did Johnny want to be single?/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"The more the thought crossed his mind the more he realized he didn't want to be single . But he wasn't broken up about it either. He figured if he was meant to be with someone then he would be. Realistically he could get any girl he wanted. But he didn't want just any girl. And to be honest he was tired of the one night stands. He wanted the perfect girl. Some would argue that there is no such thing as perfect but Johnny knew better. He knew that one day when he least expected it that he would find her and she'd be the best thing that ever happened to him./p
