A/N: Don't worry everything works out in the end. and Thanks for the R's
John receive Romans message later that evening.
"Roman its John you called?"
"Ya I've got a big favour to ask."
"Ok, shoot."
"I need you to be my best man at my wedding."
"I thought Bo was being your best man?"
"Well we had a falling out and he told me to find myself a new best man."
"I see, well if you need me that badly of course I'll be your best man."
"Thanks John. Coming from you that means a lot because both you and I know we don't have the best history behind us."
"I know Roman. Do you need anything form me right now?"
"Ah no I don't think so, but if you don't mind I'd like to meet with you tomorrow say lunch?"
"Alright I'll give you call tomorrow ok."
"K, bye."
"Bye."
"John who was that?" Kate asked as she walked in.
"It was Roman."
"Oh...what did he want?"
"Umm funny you should ask."
"Why?"
"He just asked me to be his best man."
A long silent pause cam over the two. With a sudden stir John asked Kate how her day was.
"It was horrible. I ran into Sammi and you know what she's like."
"No I don't. But I do know what your like so why don't we forget this talk."
John began to move closer to Kate. He grabbed the remote for the CD player and hit play. The song "Holding You" by Gretchen Wilson was playing. John took Kate's hand and body into his.
I don't need whiskey to drown out the pain
Or some old umbrella to hold off the rain
Don't have to cross over a river of tears
All that i need is right here
"Huh, John you are something aren't you?"
"Am I?..What can I say I've got a beautiful lady in front of me I'm not gonna waste a good song."
Kate chuckled
Holdin' you, holds me together
When holdin' on, gets just a little too hard
When this tight rope I travel, begins to unravel
And it feels like I'm falling apart
Holdin' you, holds me together
"Have you ever really listened to a song's lyrics before John?"
"You know I don't think so. Accept for when I was helping choose my wedding song. And of course songs that I enjoy."
"Well I always listen and the- these words speak to me."
"Do they?"
"Well just listen to what they are saying."
You know lifes a freight liner, on a runaway track
But I'll take the ride knowing, that you bring me back
No fate's too uncertain, no distance's too far
As long as your here in my heart
John threw Kate into a spin and dip. She simply smiled back and him and said "Are you listening?"
"Yes I am.. She is saying the who ever her man is, is the reason why she stays together when things get bad."
"Thats right and I'd like that to be us one day."
"Me too Kate Me too."
John took Kate in his arms and kissed her. Then as the song finished he swept her up off her feet and carried her into the bedroom.
Whenever I
Hold you tight
This crazy world of mine
Falls right in place
Whatever the
Trouble is
You find the way to give back what it takes
Yeah
When this tight rope I travel, begins to unravel
and it feels like I'm falling apart
Holding you, holds me together
Holding you, holds me together
When they reached the bedroom John softly placed Kate on the bed and then got up and lit some candles. As each candle burned bright the room was washed away in soft moans and cries. John laid his muscular body on top of Kate's and began to make his way around her body .His lips touching every part of her body. For John it felt like he had finally found the missing part of his soul again. For Kate it felt as if she had given her body and soul to a man she hardly knew. But she knew John and she knew she's be safe.Kate went with the flow and let John play with her emotionally and physically. After this slow love making session John and Kate lay in each others arms on the bed.
"John your amazing you know that."
"Thank you Kate, so are you."
John leaned in for a small kiss.
"Kate."
"Yes."
"I,I want to be with you. In you presence at all times."
"What are you getting at?"
"I'm getting that I've fallen for you Kate. I love you and I want to be with you."
"Oh John"
John slowly slid out of bed and reached for his coat pocket. He pulled out a rather large box for it to be a ring so Kate was confused. But inside this box was two other boxes. Kate opened the first. It was a chain that had all the birthstones of her children and grand children. Also including her own. John then slowly opened the second box while getting on his knee. He looked Kate straight in the eye and said.
" Kate I don't know what I've done all this time without you but I regret it. Your something my life has always been missing and I wont have it like that anymore. I need you Kate, I want you. So here goes nothing. Kate Roberts-Brady will you be my wife?"
"Oh John" Kate said with tears streaming down her face,"Of course I will."
John slipped the ring on Kate finger.He held his new fiancée close as she cried tears of Joy.
Meanwhile Roman was telling Marlena the great news of how John said he'd be his best man. Marlena was not to thrilled about the news but she agreed anyways.Marlena not wanting to get into a heated argument two days before her wedding day decided that she's head up to bed and get a good nights sleep since she probably wouldn't tomorrow night.
