Kaylee and John swayed softly to the music, a light breeze blowing. She was in heaven. The whole night had been one of the most romantic of her entire life. He pulled back to look at her, his fingers brushing softly against her cheek as he leaned down to kiss her.

"You want to come back to my place?" she asked when he broke the kiss. He smiled and nodded at her. They got in the car and drove back to the apartment building, both of them smiling as they noticed Mike's rental car parked out front.

"I hope they are having a nice time." Kaylee said. "Evie deserves to be with a nice guy."

"Yeah, she does. But I don't want to think about Evie right now. I want to focus on you." He whispered as they rode the elevator up to her apartment.

Evie sat in the living room on the couch with Mike, holding the plate of cheesecake in her hands. They'd been talking about Henry for nearly an hour now and she had to admit that she did feel better.

"Henry and I met because of a charity event. Because of John actually. John's date bailed on him at the last minute and he had given the extra ticket to Henry. We clicked from the start. We dated for nearly a year before he asked me to marry him. And there was nothing in this world I wanted more than to be his wife. I just…..I just knew."

"So how did you know you were in love with him?" Mike asked.

"I don't know. It was just kind of always there. I always felt like I could be myself around him and didn't have to fit into this image of what he wanted me to be. He was great at accepting people the way they were. He was always late for everything. John always joked with him that he would be late to his own funeral. That's why it didn't surprise me the night of the rehearsal dinner that he was late. He called me to tell me he was on his way. I was teasing him. That's when I heard the guy walk up to him. I heard him ask Henry for his wallet and then I heard the gun shot. I uh….I didn't really know what to think at first. I just kind of fell to the floor. I don't remember much after that. John has filled in the details a little. He called the police but by the time they got there, Henry was gone. We….buried him the day we were supposed to come back from our honeymoon. I haven't really dated anyone since then. It just hasn't felt right." Mike reached over and hugged her. "What about you? What was your last relationship like?"

"It was with a production assistant on RAW, Carrie. We dated for six months. I really thought we were hitting it off and heading to being more serious but that wasn't the case for either of us I guess."

"What do you mean?"

"We both ended up cheating on the other one. But I think I learned my lesson."

"What would that be?"

"That cheating isn't the thing to do to work on a relationship. In fact, sometimes it ruins it."

"That's a good thing to know."

"Yeah. This time around for me, when I am in a relationship, I won't make that mistake again." Mike smiled at her.

John and Kaylee laid in her bed catching their breathes after making love. Kaylee knew she had fallen hard for him. More than she had ever before with anyone. In fact, she was certain she was already in love with him. But she couldn't help but wonder if maybe they were going too fast.

"John, can I ask you something?" She said as they laid there.

"Sure."

"Do you think we are moving too fast?"

"No. Did we start fast? Yes but I don't think we are moving too fast." He moved to looked at her. "Kaylee, I haven't felt like this about someone in a long. Hey, I never really felt like this with anyone. That's why I wanted to go on this date. I wanted to do something romantic for you."

She smiled and leaned up and kissed him. She didn't know what made her say what came out next. "I love you, John." She stopped when she realized what she said "I, umm, I'm sorry."

She quickly got out of bed and went into the bathroom. She sat down on the side of the tub not believing what she said. She did mean it but she wasn't sure saying it so soon was a good idea.

John laid there in bed completely confused for a minute. She told him that she loved him and then ran away before he could respond. He smiled. She loved him. She LOVED him. At that moment, he realized that he loved her too. He walked to the door of the bathroom and pushed it open to see her sitting on the edge of the tub. He stood there looking at her for a minute before he walked into the bathroom and looked at her. He knelt down on the floor in front of her. He lifted her head to look at him.

"Why'd you run off like that?" He asked.

"I shouldn't have said that. I shouldn't have….." he cut her off by pressing his lips to hers. He pulled away and rested his forehead against hers.

"You shouldn't feel bad about saying that you love me. I know you well enough to know that you meant it. Which is a good thing. Because, I love you too." She looked up at him and smiled a little before she leaned in and kissed him again. He scooped her up in his arms and carried her back to the bedroom, wrapping her in his arms on the bed. He kissed her on the forehead and snuggled in going to sleep.

Evie woke up in the wee hours of the morning and saw that she and Mike had fallen asleep on the couch. She shifted a little on the couch and he opened his eyes to look at her. He smiled a little as she sat up.

"Wow, what time is it?" he asked.

"2am." She said yawning. "We must have fallen asleep watching the movie."

"I guess people were right. The Tooth Fairy sucks." Mike said causing her to laugh. "I had a great time tonight."

"Me too." She said. "We will have to do it again soon." She said getting up and taking the dessert plates into the kitchen.

"How about tomorrow? Or Today I guess." He said. She came back into the room and looked at him.

"Don't you have a show in a few days?"

"That's right. I forgot to tell you. I asked Vince for a few days off. So I get to spend the next three days with you."

"You asked for a few days off to spend with me? Wow, I feel special now." She said laughing.

"You should always feel special." He said as he walked over to her. "Always." He said the last part in almost a whisper and she swallowed a little harder than she intended to. She could feel the heat between them. The unspoken connection that she was sure would erupt sooner rather than later. And somewhere deep inside her, it both scared her and excited her at the same time. He went to lean in to kiss her but she pulled away.

"You can stay in the guest room if you want. I really should be getting to bed. I have to get up in a few hours. Good night Mike." He stood there looking at her for a minute before he nodded.

"Good night Evie." She walked quickly to her bedroom and closed the door. He stood there for a moment before he walked down the hallway to the guest room and closed the door. He laid back on the bed and sighed, thoughts of Evie running through his head. He was glad that they were taking things slow. It would make things so much more rewarding when they did get together. He drifted off to sleep that night knowing that Evie had his heart. Even if she didn't know it herself.
