The next day Adam called Briana and asked if he could come over to talk to her. He wanted to explain about things. She said it was no problem. He left Payton with John for the day. She wanted to help him wash his cars because she said it was fun to see the cars and have him tell her about them. Adam thought it was weird but he let her go and hang out with John. He arrived at Briana's apartment and knocked on the door. She answered wearing a white tank top and pink work out pants. She really did look pretty and he was shocked when that thought came into his head.

"Adam, hey, what's going on?" She asked showing him in.

"I am not sure how to say this but I would like the necklace back that Payton gave you." He said to her.

"Sure." She said taking it off. She was a little sad that he wanted back but she figured it was for a reason.

"I'm sorry to take it back but Payton shouldn't have given it to you. It belonged to her mom." He replied.

"Oh, I had no idea. I'm sorry." She said back.

"It's okay. I gave it to Krissy when we found out that we were having a little girl. I had it specially made." He said sitting down on the sofa.

"I understand why you want it back. Payton didn't tell me any of this, if she had, I wouldn't have taken it."

"I haven't told her anything about it yet. I did last night."

"Oh, okay."

"Thanks for understanding. I am sorry."

"You don't need to be. Adam, I know it is none of my business but don't you think it is time to move on ,even a little bit." She said to him.

"I was thinking about that. I am not sure if I am ready to move on completely but I would like us to spend time together as friends and see what happens, if you want."

"I would like that. I like you and I like Payton. So, how about you and I go to the movies as friends?"

"I would like that."

"Good. Call when you want to go."

"Okay. I better go. I have to go get Payton from John's. She likes to learn about his cars for some reason. I think she is convinced that she is going to marry him one day. And she wants to learn what he likes."

"Oh, I remember that age and first little crush. Mine was my doctor. He was nice and handsome and I was so convinced I was going to marry him. My dad used to laugh about it and call me Mrs. Stevens. It was great to be that age."

"Yeah. Thanks for understanding and I hope we can hang out more." He said getting up.

"It's not a problem. Let me know about the movie." She said walking him out.

"I will." He said walking out. He headed over to John's to get Payton. He knew she loved her time with John. It was so cute sometimes the way she would be with John. She was so intrigued by him. She listened to everything he had to say and she always wanted to show him first what she got new.

When he arrived at John's, he saw John and Payton outside. John was teaching her to play baseball. She looked so interested.

"Daddy." She said when he walked up.

"Hey, ladybug. You having fun?" He asked her.

"Yes. Uncle John is teaching me baseball. I want to be the shorty of the team." She said.

"The shorty?" He asked looking at John.

"She means shortstop." John said with a smile.

"Oh, okay. Well, are you ready to go?" He asked her.

"Yes." She said getting her bags. "Did you see Briana?"

"Yes. In fact, how about I call her and we go to the movies?" He asked her.

"That would be cool. I love hanging out with her." She replied happily.

"Okay, it's a date." He replied. "Thanks again, John."

"Not a problem. You know I love my little sunshine." He replied kissing her on the head. He was glad that Adam was going to call Briana and asked her out.

They left and headed home. On the way, he called Briana and invited her to a movie. She said she would meet them at the theater.

"Briana." Payton said when they came up.

"Hey, guys. I'm glad you invited me. I am excited to see The Chipmunks." She said with a smile.

"You like the Chipmunks?" Payton asked her as they got their tickets.

"I love the Chipmunks. I have always liked Alvin. He is just cool." She said to her.

"I love the Chipmunks." Payton said as they got the snacks. "I like Alvin too."

They sat down and watched the movie. Payton enjoyed being with both her dad and Briana. And she hoped that it would be permanently. Adam enjoyed it too. Briana was a great girl who really connected with Payton. That was the most important thing for him. He wasn't really ready to move on romantically but he knew that sometimes it happens whether you are ready or not. He liked that he and Briana were friends. It was a nice beginning point for him and Payton to move on and not focus on the past. After the movie, they had dinner and each one headed home.

"I had a really great time tonight." Briana said as they were at her car.

"I did too. Thanks for going with us." Adam said to her. Payton was asleep on his shoulder.

"No problem. Maybe the three of us can do it again." She said to him.

"I would like that." He replied to her. "I better get this one home." He said pointing to Payton.

"Yeah, you should." Briana said kissing Payton on the head. "Call me anytime."

"I will." He said walking away.

She watched them leave and then got into her car. She really liked Adam. He was handsome and nice and obviously a great dad. She knew that Payton loved him a lot to go to so much trouble. She hoped that maybe she could help him move on and be happy again.

Adam arrived home and took Payton upstairs. He put her in bed and kissed her goodnight.

"Daddy?" She asked before he left

"Hey, I thought you were sleeping." He said sitting down on her bed.

"Did you have fun tonight with Briana?" She asked sleepily.

"I did." He replied to her.

"Are you going to ask her again?" She asked.

"I was thinking about it. Maybe you and I can take her to the amusement park or something." He said kissing her goodnight.

"I would like that." She said hugging him. "Goodnight, daddy."

"Goodnight, ladybug." He said hugging her. He turned her night light on and walked to his room.

He really did have a great time with Briana and Payton. He hoped that he could finally move on and be happy without Krissy. He didn't want to damage Payton with his grief anymore. He was going to try to be friends with Briana and see where everything led.
