Mark arrived back at his house a little while later.

" Where'd you take off to?" Glen asked as Mark walked into the living room, and sat down. No one could miss the huge smile that was plastered on Mark's face.

If possible Mark's smile got bigger as he told Glen about what had happened tonight.

" So are you going to see her again?" Glen asked, happy to finally see his brother smile, which in the past couple of months had been a very rare event.

" You kinding? Man i'd be a damn fool to let that women go... again!" Mark stated shanking his head, if there was ever anything Mark regretted in his life, it was letting AJ go.

FLASHBACK:

Mark couldn't help but smile as he thought about tonight, God i just hope she says yes! He thought as he took the little box out of his pocket for the hundreth time today. I know she's gonna love it.

Present time.

" You still with me?" Glen asked looking over at his brother.

" Yeah, sorry, look it's been a long night, I'm gonna go to bed."

" Alright, hey tomorrow morning me and some of the guys are going to eat, then we're going to the gym, you wanna come with us?" Glen asked as Mark headed upstairs.

" Naw, I've made plans with AJ for breakfast, maybe some other time."

Mark went into his room, and laid down on the bed, thoughts of AJ filled his mind as he closed his eyes. He knew if there was anyone in this world that could put up with him, and his life on the road, it would be her. Mark also knew he was falling for her again, which scared him, after his last two falied attemps of "happily ever after" he didn't know if he was ready to try again, but he also remembered how happy he was when he was with her, and after all these years, she still had the same effect on him.

" Five more minutes!" Aj yelled as the poundng on her bedroom door continued.

" I don't think so, I wanna hear about how your night went last night!" Jennifer yelled as she continued to bang on the locked door.

AJ smiled after hearing what Jennifer had said. So it wasn't a dream? she thought to herself as she sat up.

" Ok I'm UP!"AJ yelled as she opened the door glaring at her best friend.

" There had better be some coffee made!" She said as she made her way down the hallway, and into the kitchen.

" Well i guess that answers question number one." Jennifer said as she followed AJ into to the kitchen.
