The next day Emma was in her room waiting for Randy to come over. She decided not to tell him about John kissing her. Randy unlocked the door with his key and went inside. She saw him out of her peripheral vision.

"Hi honey." She said.

"Hi." He sat down next to her. They kissed. "It's all set." "I'm getting Alanna next weekend." "I want you to come home with me."

"Ok." "I can't wait to meet her."

"I talked to John."

"You did?" She said getting a little nervous.

"Yeah." "We're all going out on a double date on Friday."

"Oh, great."

After Randy left Emma went out to lunch with Becky.

"He kissed you?" Becky said shocked.

"Yeah."

"Did you kiss him back?"

"Yeah." "He and Nikki have been having some problems." "I'm chalking it up to stress for him."

"What about you?"

"What?"

"Well you kissed him back."

"It was just a reaction." "That's all." "I love Randy." "Now I have to sit through this awkward double date on Friday."

"Double date?"

"Before this happened it was my idea to go on a double date with John and Nikki."

"Just cancel."

"I can't do that then Randy will know something's up."

Two nights later it was Friday evening. Emma and Randy joined Nikki and John at the table in the restaurant.

"Hi Emma." John said.

"Hi John."

You could feel the tension between Nikki and John at dinner.

Emma and Randy had been back at his hotel room for ten minutes. She saw her phone light up. She had a text. It read.

Meet me in the parking lot. – John

"Randy I have to go back out to the car." She said. "I'll be right back."

She went out to the parking lot. John was leaning up against his car.

"You didn't tell him did you?" He asked.

"Well what do you think?"

"Emma I can't stop thinking about you."

"All the sudden you just have all these feelings for me?"

"No." "I've had them since I saw you again." "You never thought about us getting back together?"

"When I was younger I would dream all the time about our baby living and you coming back to us." "Being a family." "Things have changed now John." "I love Randy." "I'm pretty sure we're gonna get married."

"What about our kiss?"

"You kissed me."

"You kissed me back."

"That was a mistake."

"So you feel nothing when you look at me?"

"I'm going back inside."

"Emma."

"Have you forgotten you're with someone else to?"

"Emma I lo-

"Don't!" "Don't you dare say it."

"Fine I won't say anything. He kissed her. She kissed him back.

She broke it. "What am I doing?" "No." "I can't."

"Emma."

"No John." "I love Randy." "Not you."
