Alexandria and John had been together for a year and a half. John still had nightmares but they were few and far between. Alexandria was carrying a box into John's house. She put it down in the living room.

"John, baby?" She called.

"Boo." He said quietly right into her ear from behind her.

She jumped. "You jerk."

He chuckled. "Sorry baby." He wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Well, I'm moving out."

"Already?" "You've only lived here a half hour."

"Yeah." "So I guess I don't have to sign the cohabitation agreement now."

"I'm sorry."

"Ok, I'll move in."

"Good."

"No more sex though." She said jokingly. "That's your punishment."

"No more sex?"

"Nope, no more." "You'll just have to pleasure yourself from now on."

"Well who's gonna pleasure you?"

"I can do it myself."

"As good as me?"

"Better."

"Yeah?" Alexandria had her hair up and she started kissing the back of her neck. She shut her eyes. "Can you do that better then me?"

"Mm-hmm."

"What about this?" He put his hands in her shirt.

"John I have to unpack."

"Do it later, come here." She turned around. They kissed and laid down on the couch.

Two weeks later John was in his home office on his laptop. Alexandria appeared in the doorway.

"I'm going to the store baby." Alexandria said. "I'll be back."

"Come here." She went over to him. They kissed. "I love you."

"I love you too." She left.

As John was on his laptop his Skype ring went off. He pressed the button to connect. Randy popped up on the screen.

"Hey man." Randy said.

"Hey."

"I just made the dinner reservation for you me, Kim and Alexandria."

"Good." "She's been looking forward to it."

"So has Kim.

"I have something to show you." "Give me a second." John went off camera for a few seconds. Randy could hear the beeping of John's electronic safe as he put in the combination. John came back on camera. "Look." He said holding up an engagement ring with a big diamond in the middle in a little black box.

"Awesome." "Does she know?"

"She has no idea."

"When?"

"On her birthday in a few months." "I'm totally gonna throw her off." "I'm buying her her dream car for her birthday."

"What's that?"

"A baby blue Corvette convertible."

"A Corvette and a proposal?" "Boy are you gonna get laid. "Probably multiple times."

John laughed. "I might but that's not why I'm doing it."

"I gotta go." "See you."

"Later." They disconnected.
