Chapter 5

Ava quickly rolled out of Jay's bed. Recognizing the male voice in the doorway. Jay too

quickly sat up.

"Hey Johnny" they both said at the same time. Not sure what he was thinking.

"So Sorry for just stopping by its just that no one answered the door and..." he was saying

Ava broke in before he could finish.

"You know that you don't have to explain. This will always be your house and you can come

and go as you please" she stated.

Jay looked up at Johnny hoping that he wasn't thinking something crazy was going on with him

and Ava. They were just talking and consoling each other. Jay started to talk.

"So did you need to talk to me Johnny?" he asked.

"No actually I wanted to ask Ava if she had an extra plate for dinner. I just moved my stuff out of Monas today and trying to get things settled back into the storage at the resturant and I was just really kinda missing you guys" which was the total truth.

"Of Course you can eat with us Johnny. You know that you don't have to ask. Nikki I think is in

there making dinner with Susanna and Derrick as we speak. I think were having Speghetti unless they changed thier minds again" she smirked

"Thank you" Johnny smiled at her.

He then made his way through the back door into the kitchen. Ava could see Nikki and Derrick run up to him and jump on him. They loved him just as much as she did.

She turned back around and faced Jay.

"Thanks for the talk, we will need to finish our conversation soon" she said to Jay

"Alright Ava. But lets go in and help with dinner, I am starved!" He said getting up and running into the house with Ava right behind him.

Bradin Dreaming...

"You once told me that you were a believer in fate, so lets leave it up to fate. Lets flip a coin"

"You wanna flip a coin?"

"Yeah lets flip a coin"

Bradin then shot the coin up into the air and Erika caught it. Before she could open her hand

to look at it Bradin took her and and held it closed. He pushed her against the window and started to kiss her, unable to hold back she kissed him back.

"Bradin, dinner is ready"

He heard Nikki's voice. Upset that his dream ended. He remembered that day with Erika how much he wished that he could go back to that day.

"Ok Thanks I will be down in a minute when I wake up a little more"

"Guess what Johnny is here for dinner. He hasn't been here since you left for Hawaii" she told him.

"Really? How come?" Bradin hadn't been filled him with what had happend since he had been gone.

"I am not sure I think something happend with him and Aunt Ava. But I do know that Mona went back to her husband so Johnny isn't with her anymore" she said excited.

"Geese, so much has changed since I have been gone. So is Cameron here yet? I really want

to know what he needs to tell me" Bradin asked as he was getting out of bed.

"Yeah hes downstaires" she claimed. "see ya down there" Nikki then ran down the staires.

Everyone was sitting at the table eating when Bradin finally showed up. He was looking at Jay.

Jay hadn't even looked up at him he just keep stuffing his face with the garlic bread.

Derrick got up and gave Bradin a hug and Cameron gave him a whats up fist hit thing.

Bradin then sat down and ate dinner with the family. Trying to hurry so he could talk to Cameron.

After Dinner Bradin went up to Nikki's room where her and Cameron were waiting for him to get done doing the dishes.

"So Cam, what did you need to talk to me about?" asked Bradin getting right to the point.

"Its probably nothing but I saw something and I just kinda wanted to tell you about it just in case it was something" he started to say

"Alright, whats going on?" asked Bradin

"Well I was working the other day and Callie and Lucas come in for some smoothies and they

looked, well they looked like how you and Callie looked when you guys were together. Now I am

probably just jumping to conclusions on this and its really none of my buisness but it just didn't look like two friends..."

Before Cameron could finish Bradin got up with a blank look on his face. He wasn't happy and anyone could tell.

Ask Bradin walked out he mumbled.

"Thanks Cam"
