The next morning Kinley was shocked when she woke up and Ted was beside her. She couldn't believe it happened. It was not what she wanted from last night. She got out of bed quietly and headed to shower and get dressed. Once she had, she went into the kitchen to make some coffee. She had just poured a cup when Ted came into her kitchen.

"Good morning." Kinley said handing him a cup of coffee.

"Morning." He replied taking the cup. "Kinley, about last night."

"Look. It was something that happened. I think we should forget about it."

"Is that what you want?" He asked sitting on a stool by the bar.

"Yes. I think it's for the best."

"Alright. If that is how you feel, then okay." He got his things and started to the door. "Kinley, I won't forget what happened but I won't make this difficult for you."

Once he was gone, she was in shocked. He didn't react the way she thought he would. She assumed he would brag that he got her into bed and then be happy to forget it and for her to never mention it. She was surprised that he didn't do that. She looked at her watch and realized she needed to get to work.

Erin arrived at the post and got to work editing an article. She was still trying to get Hailey to agree to an interview about her and John. Erin knew it would be a big seller. The beautiful girl rescued from the trade center by the handsome firefighter and then they fall in love. It was like a romance novel. She had gotten her boss to sign off on the article and now she only needed Hailey and John's permission.

"Hailey, come on please do this interview. It would be awesome." Erin said as they were having lunch at her desk.

"I don't think it's a good idea."

"Why not?"

"I just don't want this in the paper. Tons of people were saved that day by firefighters. My story is no different. You can't focus on me and not on them."

"But Hailey, not everyone found love that day. John saved you and then proceeded to fall in love with you. That is a story worth telling."

"Erin, please. I just don't think it's a good idea."

"Alright. But know with or without your permission, I can do the story. Without your permission, it will be my interpretation of it."

"Erin, I'm begging you as my friend to not do that."

"Hailey, come on."

"Have you thought that if you run that story and John thinks I agreed, he might break up with me over it?"

"Why would he do that?"

"Because maybe he doesn't want his name all in the paper and if you run it and he thinks I was fine with it, he might decide I'm not someone he wants. I'm sorry but if you do this without my permission and run the story, consider our friendship over."

"Alright. I promise to not run it." Erin knew Hailey was serious because she would never say that. Hailey was the sweet one and rarely made threats like that.

"Thank you. Now, I'm late and need to go." Hailey hugged her. "I will call you later."

"Bye." Erin hugged her back. She knew she had to tell her boss that the story was a no go.

Hailey left Erin's work and headed back to her office. She called John on the way and asked him to meet her after work. She wanted to tell him about the article just in case Erin decided to do it anyway. She arrived home a little before John arrived.

"So, what's so important?" John asked when he arrived.

"I wanted to warn you just in case."

"Warn me about what?"

"Erin wants to write an article about you and me for the post. About you saving me and then us falling in love. She and her boss think it would be a great story."

"Did you just say you loved me?"

"What?" She knew she said falling in love.

"You said we fell in love. So, do you love me?"

"I do. I do love you." She smiled. "I guess someone finally said it."

"Yeah. I guess they did." He kissed her. "So, about this article? I don't want it. I don't' want my name in print like that."

"I know. I don't' either and that is why I told her to not to do. She said they can do it without our permission but I asked her not to do that. I told if she did, then were no longer friends. So, I don't think she will but I just thought you needed to know just in case."

"Okay. Hailey, I'm sorry if you wanted the article. I just don't."

"I know that and I don't want the article. There were plenty of people helped that day and I don't think its right to focus on us when they should focus on everyone."

"I agree. So, was that all you wanted?"

"No. I wanted you to come over so, I could cook you dinner and you can tell me about the New Years Eve party the firehouse has."

"How did you know about that?"

"Kinley. She told me a while ago. I haven't heard from her today and I'm curious about her and Ted."

"We all met for lunch today as we were all off. Ted really didn't say much. We tried to get out of him what happened but he wouldn't say. I think he didn't want to say anything in front of Randy. But I get the feeling something happened."

"Huh. I think I will call her later or tomorrow and find out. But right now, I will cook and we can spend this time together."

"Sounds like a plan." He said sitting down on the sofa.

Hailey started cooking just as her phone rang. It was Erin.

"What's up, Erin?"

"I just wanted to let you know that we aren't going to do the story. My boss thought about it and I told him what you said so, we are not doing."

"Thank you."

"No problem. Hailey, you're like my sister and I would never want to hurt you."

"I know, thanks Erin. I will call you later."

"Bye." Erin hung up and headed out of her office. She had talked her boss out of the article. She told him it wasn't worth doing.

"Erin isn't doing the story." Hailey said hanging up her phone and turning to where John was sitting. It was then that she saw he was asleep.

She laughed a little and walked over to the sofa. She gently kissed him and headed back to the kitchen. She knew he had just come off a twenty four hour shift the day before and then they had gone out last night with everyone and had spent the night there. So, she knew he was tired. Once dinner was ready, she wrapped it up and placed it in the fridge. She then got comfortable in her pajamas and sat down beside him. It was nice to just be like this. To spend the time together even if one was sleeping and the other was watching a movie.

Please Review!
