Sorry I haven't uploaded in a long while I just been really busy lately and I'll try to upload as soon as I can. I just want to thank everyone who supports ths story and review. I'm sorry it took so long. Well here's chapter 4
"Alright the spaghetti is ready," Stephanie called out to the living room.
Chris and Christopher entered the kitchen. "Well help yourselves. I'll see you guys later." She said walking out the kitchen.
Christopher just watched her for a second."Just where do you think you're going!" He called after her.
Stephanie came back in the kitchen and looked at Chris and he looked back with a knowing look. "Oh I was just going to step out with Tracy for awhile. Don't worry about me I'm an adult I can take care of myself. I'm not a baby." Christopher looked at her for a sec and sighed. "I know. It's just your my baby sister and you'll always be. I'm just worried about you because this is your first time in Florida. I can't trust the people out there. But I trust you."
That made Stephanie smile, but on the inside the guilt was eating her up. She just lied to her big brother. Something she never did, but he couldn't know what she was really doing he would kill her and there's no telling what he would do to A.J. "Alright well I'm going now bye." She said and gave chris a look saying 'cover for me'. Chris nodded his head.
Stephanie walked around the corner to see a black truck and A.J. leaning on the passenger side.
"Hey beautiful," he said. Stephanie smiled. "Hi." She responded
"You ready?" He asked. She nooded. He opened the door and Stephanie got into the car.
A.J. pulled up at the beach.
"The beach? Why are we here?" Stephanie asked as they got out the car.
"Because there's a little restaurant on the shore. I thought while we eat dinner we could enjoy the sunset." He responded
Stephanie smiled.
"You know you sure do smile a lot." Stephanie laughed, "Is that a bad thing?"
A.J. smiled. "No it's a great thing I enjoy making you smile. Its beautiful just like you. Now let's go."
A.J. took her hand as they walked along the beach to the restaurant.
Stephanie sighed. The beach was so beautiful. This moment was perfect. She looked at A.J. and couldn't help, but smile.
"You see something you like?" A.J. teased. Stephanie laughed, "Maybe. I'm not completely sure yet."
"Hopefully by the end of the night that answer will be a yes. Well here we are." A.J. said as they walked inside the restaurant. Stephanie gasped. The restaurant was so fancy but casual at the same time. "I take that as you like it." Stephanie looked at him. "Like it? I love it. Thank you for bringing me here."
"Gosh a thank you already. We haven't even sat down and eaten yet." A.J. said and smiled at her as she smiled back.
"Mr. Styles your table is ready. If you'll please follow me." The hostess said.
They followed the woman all the way to the back patio of the restaurant where a table of two was set. The patio was decorated with candles all around the wooden railings of the patio.
"I hope everything is to your liking sir. Your server will be with you shortly." A.J. nodded as the hostess left.
"So what do you think?" A.J. asked. Stephanie was absolutely speechless. She didn't know what to say. "Oh my goodness A.J. you shouldnt have. This is so amazing."
"Hey for you you're worth it." He responded.
"You probably do this for all your dates." Stephanie said as A.J. pulled out her chair for her to sit down. "No you're the first woman I've done this for. Well and I thought you'd be the only person to appreciate it and not expect me to do this." He said and sat down in his seat. That made Stephanie feel so special hearing those words. "Thanks that's so sweet of you to say. And I do appreciate it. I really do." She smiled.
A.J. looked at the sunset and Stephanie looked too. "I'm glad that you brought me here." Stephanie said not taking her eyes off the sun. "Yea me too. There's no one else in this world I'd rather share this sunset with." A.J. said looking at Stephanie. He couldn't take his eyes off her. This whole time he's been saying how she was going to fall for him, but he didn't realize he was falling hard for her.
Stephanie looked away from the sunset when she noticed A.J. look at her. "What? Is there something on my face?" A.J. shook his head. "No your face is perfect."
"Hi I'm Brian and I'll be your server this evening what will you be having."
They told the server what they would be having to drink and eat and they waited for him to leave.
"So Stephanie tell me about yourself?" A.J. asked
"Well I was born in Detroit, Michigan, but I'm Canadian. My mother died when I was young and my father married my brother's mother 6 years. So me and Chris are step siblings. I was valedictorian at my high school and then I went to college and I majored in graphic design. Then I met my bestie Trish Stratus and she got me interested in wrestling. So I went to wrestling school up in Toronto and when I finished there I came back to the states and went to a wrestling school in Georgia. I told Chris I was interested in wrestling and of course him being the big brother he is was concerned, but after a while he let up and got me a contract with TNA. And a week later I'm in the ring kicking ur ass." Stephanie finished.
"Hey let's get one thing straight. I let you hurt me. I never put my hands on a woman." Stephanie gave him a look saying 'yea right. that's exactly what happened.'
The server came with their food and drinks. They ate and talked about their hobbies.
"So any crazy ex-boyfriends I should know about?" A.J. asked
Stephanie laughed, "No my exes were great guys. Well I had a fiance one time."
"What happened?"
"We just didn't last. We just drifted apart and we realized it then ended it." Stephanie replied. "Did you love him?"
"Yea I thought I did."
"Hey you want to dance?" A.J. asked
"But there's no music."
"It's ok. We'll make our own music."
Stephanie smiled, "Ok." A.J. put his hand out for Stephanie to take and she did they both stood up and A.J. moved them a few inches from the table. Stephanie wrap her arms around A.J.'s neck and A.J. put his hands on her waist. And they slowly moved to their own beat until Yours to Hold by skillet came on.
"You sly dog you planned this." A.J. laughed, "Maybe I did and maybe I didn't.
I see you standing here
But you're so far away
Starving for your attention
You don't even know my name
Stephanie listened to the words of the song. She really liked ths song and she liked being with A.J.
You're going through so much
But I know that I could be the one to hold you
[Chorus:]
Every single day
I find it hard to say
I could be yours alone
You will see someday
That all along the way
I was yours to hold
I was yours to hold
A.J. looked down at Stephanie he couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful she was. Stephanie could feel A.J.'s yes on her so he smiled and looked up. "See something you like?" She teased. "Yes I do." A.J. said in a husky voice that made Stephanie's skin tingle with excitement.
I see you walking by
Your hair always hiding your face
I wonder why you've been hurting
I wish I had some way to say
You're going through so much
Don't you know that I could be the one to hold you
A.J. and Stephanie didn't take their eyes away from each other.
[Bridge:]
I'm stretching but you're just out of reach
You should know
I'm ready when you're ready for me
And I'm waiting for the right time
For the day I catch your eye
To let you know
That I'm yours to hold
A.J. stopped moving and just stared into Stephanie's eyes and she did the same.
[Altro:]
I'm stretching but you're just out of reach
I'm ready when you're ready for me
A.J. moved some hair out of Stephanie's face and leaned in to kiss her and she kissed him back.
