Chapter 7

-Simon and Ava walk into a fancy restaurant-

"Hi, we have a reservation under the name O'Keefe." Simon told the man.

"Ah, yes Mr. O'Keefe. Right this way." The man gestured and the smiling couple followed. They sat down at the table on looking a gorgeous view of the moonlit beach. The waiter handed them menus and left them to decide what to order.

"So, did anyone figure out that you spent the night with me?" Simon asked, looking across the table at Ava.

"None of the kids did." Ava's face was glowing with happiness. "But, I told Johnny." Simon's face fell a bit.

"How did he figure it out?" Simon inquired, bemused.

"Well, he was waiting up all night for me on the couch and when I closed the door in the morning, he woke up. I had to confess." Simon took a sip of his water and nodded.

"Did he tell you why he was waiting up all night?"

Ava shrugged. "I don't know. I guess he was just trying to be a good friend. You know, looking after me."

Simon kept his eyes on the menu and commented, "Looks like someone's a little possessive of their ex-girlfriend." Ava met Simon's eyes and gave him a look. "Sorry." Simon apologized and continued, "Let's not let anything ruin this perfect night." He smiled and reached for hand.

After dinner, the two took a romantic walk on the beach. The breeze whipped Ava's hair back and Simon couldn't have felt better.

"The moon looks so beautiful tonight." Ava remarked as the two stood under its radiance holding on to each other tight.

"Yeah, it does. The only thing more beautiful is you." Ava smiled and hugged Simon tighter.

"Ava." Simon said as he released Ava from the embrace. They held hands and stood about a feet from each other.

"You're all that I ever could wish for. You complete me. No woman has ever made me feel like I do when I'm with you. I want you and only you." Ava beamed. "I love everything about you. I love the way you smile. I love the way you walk. I love the way you act as a motherly figure toward Bradin, Nikki, and Derrick. I love the way you make me feel when I'm with you. I love you, Ava." Simon took a deep breath and Ava was in tears of joy. Simon got down on one knee and stared up at the woman of his dreams. He reached into his pocket and took out a small, velvet box and opened it. Sitting in the middle of it was an emerald-cut, solitaire diamond ring that shone in the moonlight. "Will you, Ava Gregory, be my wife?"

-Fade Out to Josh meeting everyone at the house-

Nikki introduced, "Everyone, this is Josh, Amber's cousin. Josh, this is Susannah, Johnny, Derrick, Bradin, and Callie. Aunt Ava is out with her boyfriend." Johnny cringed at Nikki's last statement.

"Hey Josh," everyone chorused.

"Are you Nikki's new boyfriend?" piped up Derrick.

"Shut up, Derrick!" Nikki exclaimed, hitting Derrick softly on the shoulder. Everyone, including Josh, laughed at the comment.

Bradin broke the silence. "I'm Bradin, Nikki's older brother." Bradin extended his hand and Josh shook it. "If you break her heart, I'll come looking for you." Josh nodded and smiled.

"I guess I should get going then. It was nice meeting all of you." Josh said. Everyone bid Josh farewell and Nikki walked with him outside the front door.

"I had a really great time today, Nikki. I mean, I actually forgot about my parents' divorce for the first time since I came to Playa Linda." Josh smiled.

"I had a great time too." There was an uncomfortable silence. Josh slowly started to lean in for a kiss. It was short and sweet. They broke apart after a few seconds.

Josh exhaled a sigh of relief. "So, how about I meet you at the Tropical Bungalow tomorrow at around 10?"

"I would really like that. See you tomorrow, Josh."

"Bye, Nikki." Josh said reluctantly. Nikki sighed as she watched Josh walked off into the darkness. She turned and went back inside. Susannah was sitting on the couch watching Nikki.

"You really like him, don't you?" Susannah asked, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. Nikki plopped down onto the sofa next to Susannah and beamed.

"Yeah, he's so different from all of the other guys I've ever met. He's got this dreamy quality about him that I love and plus he's sooo cute." Nikki babbled about her new boyfriend.

Susannah laughed. "So, I guess Cameron's forgotten." Nikki nodded and went upstairs to call Amber.

"Hello?"

Nikki laid down on her bed. "Hey, Amber. It's me, Nikki."

"Hey! How are things going with Josh? He's not home yet, if that's why you're calling."

"I know he's not home yet. He just left my house. I was calling you to tell you about my wonderful day with Josh"

"Really?" Amber asked, intrigued. "So, I guess you two really hit it off?"

"Yeah, we did. Thank you so much for introducing us. He is so cute, genuine, and so much fun to be with."

"I could tell you two were having fun. You guys were practically drooling over each other." Amber laughed.

Nikki chuckled good-naturedly. "Shut up! We did not drool."

"The weirdest thing happened though, when you two lovebirds left the table. Cameron was staring after you guys. He was like almost jealous of Josh and you."

Nikki sat up, with a frown on her face. "No way! We're just friends. Besides, he's with Jordan."

Amber replied, "Well, he sure looked after you with a longing. I gotta go, I think Josh is home. Talk to you later, Nik, bye."

"Bye." Click. Nikki laid back onto her pillows and sat there thinking about what Amber had said. 'Could it be true?' thought Nikki.

That one was sort of long to make up for the other short chapters...Reviews needed
