Mika sat at her desk the Monday after arriving home and looked over the file. They'd be back to town in two months for the pay per view and the wedding. She and Allie had been emailing and texting each other about the wedding. She looked up as the door opened.
"Ms. Mika Pierce?"
"Yes." She said when the delivery man came in.
"This is for you." He said handing her the tray.
"Thank you." She smiled when she saw the coffee and cupcake. She saw there was a card. She figured it was from Allie. She picked up the card and read it. I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you
She instantly knew who it was from. She sighed to herself. And she knew where the information had come from. She dialed a number on her cell phone and waited for Allie to answer.
"Hello?"
"You're helping him?"
"Helping who?" Allie asked.
"You know who. Allie, why are you helping him?"
"Because he loves you and he made a mistake. People make mistakes. And he knows he did wrong even if it was a set up, he still knows he did. Can't you give him another chance?"
"Allie..."
"Do you love him?"
"Yes."
"Then why be miserable without him?"
"We'd still be together if he hadn't fucked someone else. And I did love him."
"You just admitted you still do. So forgive him."
"I don't know if I can."
"I think you can but you don't have to rush it. Start over."
"What?"
Allie laughed. "Start over. Go on a first date and start over. Wipe the slate clean from the past and start over."
"Why should I?"
"Because you love him and he loves you and you're both miserable little puppies right now."
"He's miserable?" Mika asked trying to make her interest seem as casual as possible. Allie smiled to herself. Mika was showing concern and that was a step in the right direction.
"Yes he is. So start over. Go on a first date and see what happens. You guys started because you wanted everyone off your back. You never really went on a first date. So do that." Allie said. "If you love him, really love him, can't you give him another chance?"
"Fine. Tell him one date. Two weeks from now and we'll see how it goes."
"Great. This is definitely the right thing."
"Yeah, yeah. Go back to your husband." Mika laughed and hung up. She should have known that Ted would go to Allie to help him and she knew Allie would help. Even with everything she went through with Matt and that relationship, Allie still believed in love and she had found that in John and now she wanted everyone else to have to it.
Allie smiled and turned to John. "She's going to go on a date with him."
"Really?" John said shocked.
"Yep. In two weeks. That is plenty of time for him to plan a perfect first date redo."
"You are something else. Go on, go give him some hope."
She smiled and kissed him and headed out to tell Ted. She saw him in the hallway. "Hey, I have something to tell you." She said in a sing sing voice.
"And what might that be?" He asked with a slight smile.
"Mika loved the gift and She's agreed to date you."
"What?"
"I talked to her and she agrees to start over. So in two weeks, she agreed to a first date with you. So you need to plan something incredibly romantic. I mean something that will surprise her and show how much you love her. And I don't mean sex. You want to start over with her so show her how much you love her by waiting for sex. You've got to earn that back." Ted smiled and nodded before he pulled Allie into a hug.
"Thank you so much! You're the best. I've got to plan something fantastic."
"Yes you do. So, make sure it's romantic." Allie said before walking away. She hoped it worked out and Mika and Ted could work things out. She headed back to the hotel room.
"Did you tell Ted?" John asked when she walked in.
"Yep. He's planning a romantic date with her. And I told him it better be romantic."
He smiled and kissed her. "I'm sure it will be. Now, how about tomorrow after the show, I take you on a nice romantic dinner?"
She smiled big and kissed him passionately. "I would love that."
Cody looked up as Ted came bouncing into the locker room a little while later. "Something's got you in a good mood."
"Mika has agreed to go on a date with me." He smiled.
"How did you manage that?"
"I sent her a card with cupcakes and coffee." He looked at Cody. "Alright, Allie helped."
"I figured as much." He laughed. "But anyway it happened I'm happy for you. So, what type of date?"
"A very romantic one. Allie told me it had to be romantic as it's a first date since we are hopefully starting over."
"How about dinner and dancing? A nice romantic, secluded dinner and dancing. Then maybe go for a walk or something."
"That's a good idea. Can I borrow that?" Ted said.
"Yes and I will even let you take credit for it. So, rent out a private ballroom and have a nice dinner catered in. it would be perfect."
"Thanks man." Ted smiled and headed out to make the plans. He had two weeks to make it a perfect date.
Mika couldn't believe she'd agreed to a date with him. But she knew Allie was right. They hadn't had a first date. Maybe starting over was a good thing. She sent a quick email to Allie about the wedding and went back to working on some others. Her mind on the date coming up. She wasn't sure she and Ted had anything to save in their relationship but Allie was right. She did love him and shouldn't she at least go on one date with him to see.
