Twenty minutes later I had showered and changed and John had cleaned up the broken lamp. We left my appartment and headed out to his car.

"John, I want to thank you for all your help,"I said as we got in the car.

"Don't mention it."

"Well, while I was in the shower I was thinking of what we were talking about the other day. John I love you and I care so much about you. And one day I want to try dating you, but not right now. Because right now you'd just be a rebound guy and i don't want you to be my rebound guy. You deserve better than that."

"Andrea, I respect that. But pleast don't ever count me out as boyfriend material."

"Don't worry I won't." We reached my mom's house soon after that. We went up to the door and knocked. I opened the door without waiting. We walked into the kitchen where mom was drinking her coffee. "Hi mom," I called.

"Andrea? Honey. Oh my Johnny. You two...oh my," She gave both of us a huge hug."You guys did so good last night."

"Thank you," John replied.

"Thanks ma. But we need to talk," I said.

"Hey, where's Aaron?" She questioned.

"He's... he...well...um.." I stuttered unable to tell her.

"Hes been cheating and beating on Andy for a while so she finally dumped his lazy butt," John provided for me.

"Oh Andrea honey, why didn't you tell me before?"

"What good would that have done? There was nothing you could do until I finally decided I was ready to leave him. Oh yeah, we've gotta call the wedding planner Joy and tell her everythings off. Then I have to try to return the wedding dress. Wow I'm so glad we haven't sent the invitations out yet."

"Whoa. Andrea, calm down. Here sit. You and Johnny can help yourselves to a cup of decaf coffee and I'll call Joy," mom directed. John directed me to sit and got both of us a cup of coffee. Mom still lived in the house. I had grown up in so John knew where everything was.

Mom called Joy while John and I drank our coffee. Unbeknown to us however, she also called Mark.

"So what have you guys got planned for today?" mom asked returning to the kitchen.

"We're gonna spend sometime hanging out. We'll probably meet up with Matt later on," John explained.

"Why don't the three of you come for dinner?" mom offered.

"Are you sure? I don't want to be a burden," John replied.

"I'm possitive. I'll make shepards pie. Be here for 6:30." She instructed. Then she walked over to me and gave me a big hug. "I know that it hurts right now but he wasn't right for you. Mr. Right will come along eventually.

"We'd better get going," John said checking his watch. "We'll see you later." We left.

"Wo where are we headed?" I asked John once we were back in his car.

"You'll see. Its a surprize."

"I'm hungry," I complained.

"You'll get food. Don't worry."

We talked about storyline ideas as we drove along. The next thing I knew we were at his sister Caroline's house. Caroline lives right on the beach about 40 minutes away from my mom. I didn't realize we had driven that long.

"John, what are we doing here? No offense, but i don't feel like talking to people right now."

"I know. Just come on. Trust me." He said. I reluctantly followed him up to the door. John knocked and a moment later Caroline opened the door.

"Hey bro. Its all set. Go ahead," Caroline said. John grabbed my hand, dragged me through the house and out the back door. He continued down close to the water where there was a picnic set up.

"Surprize!" John called.

"Is this for us?" I stupidly asked.

"Yeah. I called Caroline while you were in the shower."

"Thank you so much." I hugged him tightly.

"Today is your special day. After our picnic breakfast, we'll take a nice platonic walk along the beach and then do whatever you want to. Today is your day to do whatever you want."

"I can't thank you enough right now John."

"You don't have to. Just seeing you happy is thanks enough. Andrea, I have loved you for a long time and all I've ever wanted for you is to see you happy."
