The next morning after flying to the next state John met Randy in the hotel to workout.

"Hey man." John said.

"Hey."

"So, how it go last night?"

"Great." "I really like her."

"What did you guys do?"

"We went out to eat, then we spent about three hours in her car talking."

"Are you gonna see her again?"

"Yeah." "I can't wait." "The sign language thing's gonna be hard to learn but I'll get it."

"Did you sleep with her?"

"No." "What with all the questions?"

"I'm just curious is all."

"We kissed, that's it."

"Oh."

Over the next three weeks Emma and Randy had talked every day. Emma was sitting at home. Her phone started to ring. She had it setup to where she could see what the person was saying from her TV screen.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hi." Randy said.

"Hi." "How are you?"

"Lonely." "I wanna see you." "We still need to go on that second date."

"I know."

"Come on the road with me."

"Randy you know I just signed that deal for the new book."

"So bring your laptop." "Come on." "It'll be fun."

"Ok." "I need a few days to get things organized though." "You'll be in San Francisco on Wednesday right?"

"Yeah."

"I'll meet up with you there."

"Ok."

Two days later Emma was in San Francisco. She checked into her room and went to Randy's she knocked on the door. He answered.

"Hi." He said.

"Hi." They kissed.

"I've been waiting to do that."

"Me to." "I have an autograph signing in five minutes." "I'll meet you at the arena later and maybe after that we can come back here and watch a movie."

"Ok."

Later that night Emma was at the arena. On her way to go see Randy she spotted John in the hall. She went up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around.

"Hey." He said surprised.

"Hi." They hugged.

"What are you doing here?"

"Randy invited me to come on the road with him."

"So you'll be here awhile?"

"Yeah while I'm here we'll have to go to lunch or something."

"Ok."

After the show Emma and Randy were in his room. His phone pinged. He picked it up.

"Is everything ok?" Emma asked.

"Yeah." "That's just a notification from an app." "It sends me new sign language signs every day."

"It's sweet that you want to learn it." "I could teach you some."

"How do you say you're gorgeous in sign language?"

"Like this." She showed him and he did it back. "Good." "Let's try another one."

Back in his room John was in the shower.

"So Emma's gonna be here with Randy." He thought annoyed. "Just perfect." "He's a nice guy but they're not right together." "I'll bet she's with him right now." "I wonder if they're having sex."

Emma was continuing to teach Randy sign language.

"That's good but that last sign goes like this." She took his hands to show him.

"Oh."

"You'll get it."

"I'm glad you decided to come."

"Me to." They kissed. He laid her back on the couch getting on top of her. She moaned as he kissed her neck. She hadn't felt the touch of a man in a long time and she liked it. They kissed. As much as she liked this she knew they had to stop. She broke the kiss.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah." "I'm just not sure that we should yet."

"It's ok." "No big deal."

"Don't get me wrong I do want to." "It's only our second date though and I don't wanna come off as some kind of easy slut."

"You're not but I understand." They sat up.

"I should go." Randy walked her to the door. They kissed. "Bye."

"Bye."
