A/N: I only own Iris. Keep up the reviews and suggestions.
Iris POV
I was sitting there when John came up.
"Can I talk to you?" John asked me. I looked at him. He was serious and I knew I really needed to talk to me.
"John… sure." I said. He smiled and offered me his hand.
"Let's go somewhere." he said.
"Alright, let me tell Steph where I am going." I said.
"Hurry." he said.
I walked in there and grabbed my purse.
"I am going to talk with John. See ya tonight at the hotel." I said. Stephanie smiled at me. I turned to leave.
"Iris." Paul said. I turned to look at him.
"Listen to your heart. Do what you want to do and feel is right." he said. He smiled at me. I smiled and walked off.
Paul POV
Iris just left to go talk with John.
"I hope she does what she wants to." I said and I realized something. I looked at Stephanie.
"What?" she asked me. I was staring at her.
"Marry me, again." I said. I knew I loved her and I didn't care how many children we had, who cared, or what the problems were.
"Paul." she said.
"Steph, we can fix any problems we had. I love you to much to lose you." I told her. She had tears in her eyes.
"Go." Dave said.
"What?" I asked him.
"Call Vince and go." he said. I smiled at Steph.
"I'll tell Iris." he said.
"Thanks." I said.
We left. I was so happy. I loved her and I wanted her to know it. We went to straight to the airport. I didn't know where we were going, but it was us together. Linda had the twins and we had a second honeymoon.
John POV
I walked with Iris to a limo. We got in. I was nervous all over again being with her. It was like the first time I laid eyes on her. She was just as beautiful. She caught me watching her. I smiled at her.
Iris POV
I was nervous. Why was I nervous? I had been around him plenty of times. I had dated him for almost 9 months and now I was nervous. I looked over and he was staring at me. He smiled at me. I smiled back.
He is so sexy. I miss him. I thought as I looked at him.
John POV
We finally arrived at the restaurant. I helped her out and we went in. I was in a suit and she was in her dress. We fit right in. The restaurant was elegant. We were seated on the balcony. The summer was ending but a warm breeze blew that night. She was looking at the sites.
"It is beautiful." she whispered.
"Yeah it is." I said looking at her. I laid a present in front of her. She looked at it and at me.
"I didn't forget your birthday. I just had to find the right time to give it to you." I said.
She careful picked up and delicately wrapped box. She unwrapped it and opened it. She gasped and looked at me.
"John." she said. I smiled at her.
"I hope you like it." I said. She pulled the necklace out. I had gotten her a diamond necklace. I helped her put it on. It sparkled like her eyes.
"Dance with me." she said. The music was slow and soft.
I got up and we began to dance. I missed the feeling she gave me when she was this close. The feeling wasn't sexual, but a love.
"Come home with me for Mom's birthday." I whispered in her ear.
"When?" she asked me.
"Next week." I said.
"You have to talk to Vince about me having it off." she said. I nodded and smiled.
"I promise you will have it off." I said. I smiled at her. I was so happy but I didn't know if she was. I hoped that she was.
We finished dancing and ate. We were sitting there watching clouds roll in.
"I wanted to ask you something." I said. She looked at me.
"Hmm?" she asked.
"What were you trying to protect me from?" I asked her. She sighed and looked back at the city.
"If I tell you, then you have to tell me what gave you the inspiration for the song." she said. I nodded and she sighed. She wouldn't look at me.
"I was protecting you from me. I didn't want to break your heart again." she said.
"I got the inspiration from you. You are my angel. You kept me from doing thing I didn't need to do, being a person I am not, and loving me for the person I am." I said. She nodded.
"It's late. I want to go." she said. I sighed; she was pushing me away again.
I paid and we left. The limo ride was silent. We arrived back the hotel. I walked her to her suite. Trish had gotten her one for being a bride's maid.
"Iris, tell me why you keep pushing me away." I asked her. She sighed and opened the door. I didn't want her to close the door on me again.
A/N: Let know what you think.
