A/N: Thank you for the reviews of the last chapter.
Maggie was working in the bar. It had been a few days since she and AJ talked in her apartment. They talked on the phone and text a lot though. "Hey you." AJ said as he walked up.
"Hey. What can I get you?"
"A kiss?" he gave her a cute smile.
Giggling, Maggie leaned over the bar and gave AJ a soft kiss. "Do you want a drink?" she noticed how he was dressed in a nice suit. "What's the occasion?"
"I would much rather be here. But I have to go meet with Lindsey and our lawyers to go over the final details of our divorce." he sighed "I thought I would stop by here for a minute. See a friendly face. Is it ok if I stop by when I'm done? I wanna talk to you."
"Of course you can. I'll probably still be working, but I can give you the key so you can go up and hang out."
"It will depend on how I feel when I leave from the meeting. I'll see you in a little bit." he leaned over for another kiss before leaving. "I'll never get tired of your kisses."
"You can have all the kisses you want."
"It will have to wait for later." AJ pushed himself away from the bar "I gotta get going."
Maggie got a smile on her face as she watched AJ leave. She loved that man and couldn't wait until he was officially hers.
AJ sighed as he walked out of the lawyers office. Everything seemed to have gone alright. He is letting Lindsey have the house, he knew Maggie wouldn't want to stay in the same house he shared with his wife. He got in his car and text Maggie letting her know he was on his way back. He also let her know he didn't want to wait in the bar so she told him she would give him her keys.
Maggie came up to her apartment an hour later. She sighed as she kicked her shoes off. She found AJ laying on the couch and watching TV. He had changed his clothes. "How did it go?" she asked as she sat on the edge of the couch.
"It wasn't too bad." he said as he rubbed her knee. "Lindsey is taking the house. I figured you didn't want to stay in the same house or sleep in the same bed I shared with her."
"You're right about that." she got up "I'll be right back. I'm gonna get changed."
When Maggie came back out of her bedroom AJ was sitting up. She went to the kitchen and got a couple of beers before walking back to the living room. She sat beside AJ and handed him a beer before opening hers and took a sip.
"You know, this is how it should have always been. You and me together. If I would have waited until you were 18 we could have been together all this time. Married, a couple of kids."
"We can still have that. It will be a little later than you planned, but we can definitely still have it. I have been in love with you for a long time. When I found out you got married to Lindsey I was completely heart broken. She would always give me a look that says 'haha I got him, you lost'. I was with Luke for all the wrong reasons. I guess I was only with him because I couldn't be with you." Maggie confessed as she cuddled up to AJ. "He definitely wasn't you."
"Lindsey wasn't you. I'll be honest, I found out that the legal age of consent in Georgia is 16. I wouldn't have wanted to have sex with you while you were that young, but we could have dated."
"Yeah, but it would have looked weird for a 31 year old and a 16 year old to date. I wouldn't have cared. But I don't think dad and mom would have been too happy at that time."
AJ nodded in agreement "Yeah that's true. Karl wouldn't have been happy either. But you're 25 now, so he can't say anything." he took a big drink of his beer. "I just can't believe it's taken this long for us to finally be together." he looked at Maggie. "I want to take you out on our first date. When is your next night off?"
"Let me check." she picked up her phone to look at her work schedule. "I'm off Thursday."
"Then it's official. Our first date will be Thursday." he gave her a soft kiss. "I do have a confession to make."
"What would that be?"
"Before your dad passed away I had a talk with him. I told him how I felt about you. I told him I was gonna marry you some day. He gave me his blessing. He said he knew it was gonna happen. I love you and I want to be with you for ever. We will start with you being my girlfriend?"
Maggie smiled and got tears in her eyes. "Yes of course." she leaned in and gave him a passion filled kiss. "I love you too. Always have, always will" she wrapped her arms around one of his and laid her head on his shoulder. "Wanna watch a movie or something?"
AJ sighed, "I would love to stay, but I should get home and start packing."
"Where are you gonna stay once you move out?"
"I'm gonna try looking for a place before I go to work tomorrow."
"You could always stay here. Then we can find a place together"
"That sounds like a great idea." he gave her another kiss before getting up "I love you. I might not see you much until Thursday so I can pack."
"I can come help some."
"Ok baby. I'll see you later." he leaned down and gave her another kiss before heading out the door.
