Hi everyone! I decided to try writing another chapter to this saga and seeing if anyone is still interested in this story or not. Thanks!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John knocked on Steph's office door.
"Come in." Steph called.
John walked in and smiled, "Hey there, are you all set for an evening guaranteed to put a smile on your face?"
Steph smiled a little and nodded, "Yeah, I am."
"Then let's get out of here, I'm starvin' like Marvin." John said opening the door and holding it for her.
"I'll leave my car in the parking lot here, and we'll just swing by and get it when we're done." Steph advised John.
"Sounds good to me." John replied.
John and Steph got in and John instantly turned on the radio. One of Steph's favorite songs was on and she started bobbing to the music.
John smiled and bobbed along with her. "Hey, do you like to dance Steph?"
Steph smiled, "Yeah, why?"
"How about we grab a bite to eat and I take you out to a club?" John asked.
"Sounds great. We could go get my car, go the hotel, change into something more "club-appropriate" and we'll take the limo. Then you get free cover." Steph said with a smile. "And we'll order room service."
John smiled, "See, told ya I would make you smile."
And he turned around and headed back to the arena.
They arrived at the hotel and Steph looked at John, "Why don't you just grab your stuff and come back to my room and you can get ready over here? That way when we're done eating, we can just go."
"Aw'ight, I'll do that." John said splitting off from Steph.
Steph got to her room and propped open the door so John could just come in. She was starting to feel in better spirits. She didn't know why, but John was definitely cheering her up.
Steph started rooting through her suitcase and came across a red; sleeveless; slinky tank top and when paired with her black leather mini-skirt, she would look pretty good. She decided to quickly change tops when John walked through the door.
"Hey Steph, I'm here." John said setting his stuff down. He didn't even act phased by the fact that she was only in a bra.
"Sorry, you were faster than I thought." Steph said pulling her shirt on. She was surprised by how calm and cool he was.
"No probs. Bras cover the same as a bikini. But, you have to promise me one thing." John said to her with a laugh.
"What's that?" Steph said heading into the bathroom to change into her skirt.
"Don't ever tell me that I was faster than you thought I would be ever again." John said laughing.
"You're so bad." Steph said smiling. She quickly touched up her make-up and pulled some of her hair back. When she came out, she found John changing. "Nice boxers." Steph said.
John smiled. He was wearing his smiley face boxers. "Thanks, they're one of my faves." At first he was surprised that she wasn't embarrassed, but then he remembered that she grew up in the locker room and it was probably nothing she hadn't seen before.
They placed their order for room service and quickly ate and headed out to the club. John and Steph sampled some champagne in the back of the limo. "This is really nice." John said to Steph.
"Yeah, it is." Steph said with a smile. She felt really comfortable and at ease with John. More so than she had felt with Matt. It was kind of nice. She knew that she thought that John was definitely a yummy man, but right now they were only friends and she wasn't going to allow herself to think of him in any other way.
When they arrived at the club, John went and grabbed them each a drink. They drank it and headed right out to the dance floor. John was impressed with Steph's dancing. They were bumping and grinding and just having a great time. There was not a trace of Matt on her mind.
John knew that he had some attraction to her, but he also knew that right now what she needed was a friend. Someone who could be there for her when she needed them the most, but that didn't mean he couldn't imagine what it would be like.
As they were dancing, they kept drinking. Soon, the bumping and grinding was getting closer and closer, and there was a little bit of groping going along with it. Steph was finding herself becoming aroused by John, and she could definitely tell that John was getting aroused by her. Steph turned around to face John and gave him a seductive look, "Tell me something John, do you wanna get out of here?"
John smiled and nodded his head, "Sounds good to me."
And the two held hands and headed out to the limo.
