Matt woke up the next morning to the sun beating down on him. He rolled over went to put his arm around Amy, but she was gone. He sat up and looked around, but there was no sight of her. "AMY" he called out, but no one responded.
Matt stood up and got dressed and walked around the area a little bit and still couldn't find any signs of her. He hopped on the dirt bike and headed back to Jeff's house.
Jeff was out back cleaning up the yard when he heard the hum of a dirt bike. He waved to Matt as Matt pulled into the garage. "Morning Matty." Jeff said cheerfully.
"Have you seen Amy?" Matt asked him quickly.
"No, not since the two of you took off last night. Why?" Jeff asked.
"Because she wasn't there. I'm going to go and call her." Matt said heading inside.
Jeff followed Matt, "What happened last night? Why wouldn't she be there?"
"Things happened last night, and now she's gone. I need to talk to her." Matt said quickly as he picked up the phone and dialed Amy's number.
Amy's roommate Julie answered, "Hey Jeff."
"Hey Jules, it's Matt, not Jeff. Is Amy there?" Matt asked hopefully.
"Sorry 'bout that. No, she hasn't come home from the party yet. Didn't she go with you?" Julie asked confused.
"Yeah she did, but she left before I did, so I thought that maybe she would have been home by now." Matt replied.
"I see. No, she's not home yet, should I have her call you when she gets in?" Julie asked.
"Yeah, that would be great." Matt replied.
"You got it. Talk to ya later." Julie said as she hung up.
Matt hung up the phone and shook his head.
"Having regrets?" Jeff asked innocently.
"No, I don't regret it. But I think that she does and that's why she took off." Matt said as he sat down and put his head in his hands.
"Don't be so hard on yourself. Regret is a strong word. Until you know what happened, don't assume anything." Jeff said patting Matt on the back. "You know what they say about assuming."
"Yeah, yeah I know. I'm just worried and confused and stressed out right now." Matt said to him.
"Enjoy your days off, don't push Amy, let her come to you. Besides, isn't there a different woman who you should be concerned about right now?" Jeff asked.
Matt's head popped up, "Stephanie." He looked at Jeff, "You know, I didn't even think about that until just now."
Jeff shook his head, "I'm going back outside to clean up a little before Beth wakes up. Stay here as long as you like, just don't wake her up." And he walked back outside.
Meanwhile...
John woke up and looked around. The hotel room was littered with their clothes. John chuckled to himself a little. He glanced down and seen that Steph was still asleep on his chest with her arm draped around him. "She looks like an angel." He thought to himself. He leaned down and kissed her on the top of her head.
He slowly slid out from underneath her and headed to the bathroom. He took a nice, hot shower and shaved. When he came out of the bathroom, she was still asleep curled around his pillow. He smirked to himself and proceeded to get dressed.
John had been so good about being quiet as to not wake Steph up, he was proud of himself. Normally he was very noisy. John was just pulling his shirt on when his cell phone started ringing. He forgot that he had cranked up the ringer volume, so it was echoing throughout the hotel room.
Steph's eyes fluttered open and looked around.
"Yo." John answered his phone. He smiled at Steph when he seen that she was awake. He mouthed sorry to her.
Stephanie rubbed her eyes. She looked at the alarm clock and seen that it was 10:30 am. She shook her head and re- looked, but it still said 10:30 am. She jumped up and ran into the bathroom.
John got off of the phone and knocked on the bathroom door. "Hey, what's the rush? Checkout's not till noon. And the next show is only an hour and a half drive."
"Yeah, but my flight is at 11:30am. I have a meeting I have to be in Stamford for." Steph called through the door. "You can come in and talk if you want."
"If I come in there, talking is not what I'm going to be doing." John said with a laugh.
Stephanie laughed out loud. He was so crazy. She smiled to herself. Normally she wasn't one to just jump in the sack, but there was something inside of her that wouldn't let her say no. "I'll be done in 5 minutes." She called.
"Do you want me to order you some breakfast?" John asked.
"No, I don't have time. I'll grab some coffee on the plane." Steph replied. She leaned against the shower wall. Boy did she know how to stir things up. Her and Matt have a huge fight and break up and that night she's in a club with John and doing things in the back of a limo that she never would have dreamed of doing, and now waking up to him in her hotel room. She shook her head and finished rinsing the conditioner out of her hair.
She came out of the bathroom wrapped in two towels. John started laughing, "No one told me that you were going to the meeting toga style."
Steph stuck her tongue out at him. She went to her suitcase and pulled out a business suit. John sat down and started watching tv. Steph got dressed and packed everything up. She went over to him, "Do you want to ride to the airport with me?"
"What if I drive you to the airport, and head out to the show from there?" John asked.
"Sure, that would be great." Steph replied with a smile.
John turned the tv off and grabbed her bags, "I'll get these to the car, you go check out and I'll have the car waiting at the front door for you." He said giving her a quick kiss on the cheek and left the room.
Steph watched him leave with a look of bewilderment. He was acting like they were a couple. "Maybe this is more than just a one night thing." Steph questioned to herself as she grabbed the room keys and headed downstairs to check out.
Steph finished up with the front desk and headed outside. Sure enough, John was waiting there holding her door open with a big smile on his face. "Are you ready to make that flight or what?"
"Definitely." Steph replied with a smile.
"Then lets blow this joint." John said winking at her. "Make sure you buckle your seatbelt."
"Why..." Steph started to ask, but when John peeled out of the driveway, she realized she didn't need to ask, she just needed to do.
"John, can we talk?" Steph asked him carefully.
"Sure, about what?" John asked her.
"Well...I think that we both know about what." Steph replied with a shy smile.
"That. What would you like to know?" John replied non- chalantly.
"Look, I just want to know..." Steph started to fumble but John interrupted her.
"Hold that thought. Give me a minute." John said pulling into the no parking zone in front of the terminal. He got out of the car and opened her door. He took out her luggage and set it on the sidewalk. He leaned into Stephanie and looked into her eyes, "Ever since I laid eyes on you, I knew that I wanted to get to know you better, whether it was as a friend or as more. I was able to tell that you were a very genuine, intriguing and interesting person, and I needed, not wanted, but needed to get to know you better. Over time, I got that chance and you and I have a great friendship, and I know that I'm risking that by telling you this, but I really like you. Steph, I don't want what happened last night to be a one-time thing, I want it to be the real thing.
Steph couldn't believe it. He was so sincere, so wonderful, so everything she wanted in a man. She leaned into him and kissed him. "John, I like you too. You bring out a different side of me. But I have to be honest, things are a little rocky in my life right now, so could we take it slow? I don't want to move too fast."
John smiled, "Of course we can take it slow."
Steph smiled and blushed a little, "Thanks John. I hate to leave like this, but I've gotta run."
"It's ok, I'll call you tonight." He replied kissing her one last time.
"Bye." Steph said waving. And Steph headed off into the airport to catch her plane.
