Chapter 11: Summertime Love in the Moonlight

"I'm so glad you two are together." Trish said happily when Stacy told her the news.

"Me, too." Jeff agreed. "But don't get me wrong Stace, don't you think it's a bit too soon?" Jeff may be Trish's boyfriend but he's been Stacy's 'big brother' and knows about almost everything that Trish knows about Stacy and that includes Stacy's feelings for John. And now that John is gone, Jeff is thinking that should still be grieving for him.

"That's how true love should be." Jeff thought. Jeff secretly laughed at himself at his thoughts. What would Trish and even Stacy say if they find out that he's a sucker for love?

"I know it's a bit soon but I… I have my reasons for doing this." Stacy replied and Jeff just shrugged to show that he either agree or disagree.

"Anyway, I just wish you the best Stace because I know no other person who truly deserves the best than you." Trish told her and gave Stacy a big friendly hug, which Stacy gratefully returned. Stacy let in a deep breath, she had never felt like she really belonged the past days and she was thankful Trish is her friend who'd always be there for her.

"Thank you Trish. And Jeff, don't worry, I know what I'm doing okay? I'm a big girl now." Stacy said proudly as she turned to her would-be big brother.

"But big girls also make mistakes. I just hope this big girl doesn't make a mistake." Jeff said and Stacy just smiled. "Wherever John is, I hope he is happy with how things are going on right now." Jeff sighed.

"I'm pretty sure he is." Stacy said as she remembered how John had talked to her using Randy's body. She looked at Trish and the latter just looked at her and smiled reassuringly to tell her that she didn't breathe a single word to Jeff. She had no plans in letting other people know that she and John talked. They will surely think that she has gone insane if she did tell them.

"Anyway, I have to go. Randy said he wants to show me something." Stacy said and started to say goodbye. Jeff gave her a friendly hug and whispered to her ear.

"Just be careful alright?" Stacy just smiled and squeezed his hand in reply that she is going to be.

It was nothing more but a friendly gesture but Trish couldn't help but feel something within her. She looked at Stacy though it was more of a glare and a fire seemed to ignite within her.

"Trish are you alright?" Stacy asked curiously and suddenly when she saw something spark in her friend's eyes. She looked like she was angry at something… or someone. Trish snapped back to reality and she mentally shook the feeling away.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Didn't you say you have to go? So go, bye." Trish said and sort of slammed the door on Stacy's face.

"Trish honey are you alright?" Jeff asked worriedly and he felt her if she was hot.

"I'm alright honey. Just promise me you'll never leave me." Trish said and flung her arms around Jeff.

"I won't Trish. Now why the sudden drama?" Jeff asked confusedly as he pulled Trish away from him.

"No! You got to promise!" Trish exclaimed and Jeff was more shocked to see his girlfriend acting that way.

"I promise." Jeff said. He wanted to pull Trish close to him and ask her if she was all right and to assure he is never going to leave her. But he just can't. He looked at Trish longingly and all Trish saw was Jeff looking blankly at her.

"Ashley?" John said to get Ashley's attention back to him. They were in the swing outside his old house and Ashley was resting her head on his chest, enjoying the beautiful sky turn to red.

"Yeah…" Ashley looked up to him and their faces were an inch apart. John smiled and stole a kiss from Ashley.

"I thought you wanted to say something." Ashley said shyly after the kiss.

"I was, but then I got lost in your eyes." John said.

"Very sweet John but spill it out." Ashley replied as she pinched his nose.

"Have you ever thought that this could happen to us?" John asked more seriously. Ashley just looked at him confusedly.

"What do you mean?" Ashley asked him in return as he stood up and started pacing around.

"I mean have you ever thought we'd end up… together?" John asked her honestly and waited. But Ashley didn't answer. John turned to look at her to check if she had fallen asleep because Ashley didn't answer. But when John saw Ashley, she was blushing furiously. John smiled at her mysteriously.

"John I have a confession to make…" Ashley started to tell him.

"Randy can you please tell me now where you are taking me?" Stacy asked as she tried to suppress the curiosity boiling inside her.

"You'll find out soon. And it wouldn't be a surprise if I tell you right?" Randy told her as he took his eyes from the road for a while.

"Okay, but I'm just so curious. That I can't help it." Stacy answered and crossed her arms in front of her and Randy let out a small chuckle.

"What?" Stacy asked with a smile on her face.

"Nothing it's just that you look so pretty when you're confused." Randy said and Stacy remembered that she thought of the exact same thing about him way back on John's burial.

"Why are you smiling?" Randy asked her.

"I just remembered something." Stacy simply answered and smiled shyly.

"Tell me." Randy said.

"Why should I tell you?" Stacy asked teasingly as she enjoyed watching Randy's face.

"Because, Miss Stacy…" Randy started as he pulled over and got out of the car and Stacy looked at him with full interest as he went to her side of the car and opened it for her.

"I want to know what makes you smile and laugh. I want to know what makes you happy." Randy said and extended an arm for her to take. Stacy gave her hand to him and let him guide her up.

"You want to know what makes me happy?" Stacy asked and Randy nodded.

"Then you have to wait till later." Stacy answered and smiled even more.

"That's to repay you for making me wait to know what you are planning this evening." Stacy whispered in his ear.

"Hey! No fair!" Randy pouted and Stacy just shook her head.

"But you're going to find out now!" Randy replied stubbornly.

"That doesn't change the fact that you made me wait." Stacy said and stuck out a tongue at him. "You really do want to know what makes me happy." Stacy said to him when she saw Randy was still pouting. "I hope you're pouting wouldn't change your mood for the surprise."

"Hmm… speaking of the surprise, maybe I won't show it to you." Randy said as he scratched the back of his head.

"What! Now that's not fair." Stacy exclaimed. "I want to know what the surprise is." Stacy said.

"Well, how about this. I'll show you the surprise then you tell me what makes you happy. You dig?" Randy asked her. Stacy pretended to think deeply and looked at Randy.

"Okay, just promise." Stacy answered.

"I promise if you promise." Randy replied.

"I promise." Stacy said as she raised her right hand and crossed her heart.

"John, I have a confession to make…" Ashley repeated, her cheeks burning like coals.

"What confession?" John asked alertly. "You're, you're not what I think you are? You're not a real woman?" John asked insanely as his eyes grew wide!

"John! Get a hold of yourself! Breath! Do you even know what you were saying?" Ashley asked him.

"So you are a real woman?" John asked in a cautious voice and his eyes darted towards Ashley's chest.

"Duh!" Ashley answered "Hey! You watch where your eyes are going!" Ashley told him when he saw John looking at her chest. "You wanna get sued?" Ashley asked her.

"Oh! You wouldn't do that! You love me so much!" John said confidently. "And I love you so much, you're a real woman right?"

"John! Quit it! Of course I am!" Ashley said as she blushed furiously when John told her that he knew that she loves him so much.

"Alright, I quit." John said and took her hands. "I have never said those words in my whole life. Not even during my match with JBL and here I am saying I quit to a woman!" John said incredulously and let out a chuckle.

"That just proves that you really love me." Ashley said as she tried to get even with John and she succeeded because John was blushing nonstop.

"Yeah, you're right. So, so much." John said to her. "Now, how about that confession you were saying?" John asked her.

"Oh, that…" Ashley tried to let the words out but she couldn't seem to.

"Come on Ash, you can tell me. There's suppose to be no secrets, right?" John urged her.

"Well, okay. Just promise you won't laugh at me." Ashley said as her eyes darted towards the ground.

"Why would I laugh?" John asked. "Unless if it's very funny…" John added in an undertone and Ashley smacked his arm. "Just kidding! Go on…" John told her.

"Did… Can you still remember the dawn when you first appeared to Randy?" Ashley asked him.

"Yeah, who can forget that? What does your confession have to do with it?" John asked her.

"You remember that I was reading a magazine when he fainted?" Ashley said.

"Yeah, and you wouldn't let me see it!" John said as he remembered that moment that he started to tickle Ashley. "Yeah, I remember and remembering that moment, it makes me want to tickle you again." John said and Ashley smiled at him.

"No you wouldn't. There's no tickling tonight." Ashley warned him.

"Oh, alright." John said in a mocked disappointed voice.

"Well…" Ashley said and snapped her fingers and the magazine appeared beside them. John took the magazine and read the cover.

"Angels 101?" John raised an eyebrow when he read the name of the magazine. "You angels have magazines?" he asked, surprise clearly on his voice.

"Turn to page 53…" Ashley, said quietly and John did so.

"What to do when you're falling for your…" John didn't continue reading the tagline of the article.

"You mean?" John looked at Ashley questioningly.

"Yes, John. I loved you ever since we were kids." Ashley admitted shyly.

"Ashley?" John felt like laughing but he tried to stop himself.

"Go, laugh!" Ashley said and didn't looked at John.
"Why should I laugh?" John asked her.

"Well, because, I'm so stupid for loving you for so long." Ashley replied.

"Loving someone doesn't make you stupid." John simply told her and kissed her under the bright moonlight

"Randy?"

"Yes, Stace?" Randy turned to her.

"Are you going to tell me what your surprise is?" Stacy asked him slowly.

"We're getting there, sweetheart." Randy answered patiently. Randy looked at Stacy. "You can be so impatient Stace. And I hate being pestered so much. But I guess I have to forget about that, that's how much I love you." Randy thought and shook his head. Stacy looked around them as she saw trees.

"Are you taking me to the jungle?" Stacy asked again.

"No honey. See for yourself." Randy answered as he set a big leaf aside that was blocking the view in front of them.

"It's… it's so perfect!" Stacy exclaimed as she ran the rest of the distance between her and Randy's distance.

"This is paradise!" Stacy said as she looked around.

"Suits you perfectly." Randy said slowly as he watched Stacy being amazed by the set-up.

"You even have a hammock!" Stacy said as she went over to the hammock.

"I knew you'd like it." Randy said and took the two glasses of orange juice that was on the table nearby.

"It's like we're in the Caribbean!" Stacy said as she looked around her. "How did you know that I have a fascination for the Caribbean?" Stacy asked him.

"I have my sources." Randy replied and suddenly someone was walking towards them.

"Carlito?" Stacy looked at the newcomer in shock.

"Carlito was in town looking all over for his apple and he found it in this Caribbean thing of yours."

Carlito said in his hot accent as he took the apple that was on the table.

"Every Caribbean set-up needs an apple." Randy told him.

"Well not Carlito's." Carlito said smugly and his face broke into a smile.
"Thanks for helping me out man." Randy said to Carlito and Carlito just patted Randy's shoulder and mouthed good luck.

"Have great night! He did put a lot effort for this you know." Carlito whispered to Stacy.

"Well, I was having trouble on how I could surprise you and Carlito heard my whining, as Hunter would put it, and he told me how you like the Caribbean." Randy explained to her.

"This is too much Randy!" Stacy said and embraced him.

"Anything for you my angel." Randy said and kissed her.

"I love you." Stacy said as the two of them sat down together on the hammock and watched the starlit sky.

"I love you too." Randy replied. "Hey, how about that secret?" Randy asked her.

"What secret?" Stacy asked in return and Randy just looked at her.

"You really wanna know?" Stacy asked him and he nodded. "This, this is what makes me happy." Stacy said as she snuggled close to him.
