Chapter 45: Can't Start A Fire Woryin' Bout Your Little World Fallin' Apart

A smile was painted across her face as she stretched . She had had the most amazing dream ever. She had dreamed that she had spent the night in John's arms. Still smiling she opened her eyes but all at once the smile left her face. She wasn't in her bedroom at her condo … she wasn't even in her bedroom at John's house, no she was in John's bedroom … in John's bed no less. So it wasn't a dream she really had spent the night in John's arms. But why had she spent the night in John's arms? She had no idea, her head swam with confusion.

"How did I get here?" she asked herself. The last thing she remembered was falling asleep with Phin and Faith on the couch.

She then checked to make sure she was still dressed. Her eyebrow cocked a little bit you never quite knew with John. She sighed when she realized that she was still fully dressed in what she had fell asleep in the night before. She felt bad thinking about John in that light she knew that he was a good man and would never do anything to harm her in any way shape or form. She reluctantly turned over and was almost a little disappointed that John was not there. She rested her head against his pillow and she could smell his scent. She rested there for a moment taking in the familiar scent of John. She got herself out of bed and left the room. She entered the kitchen quietly and was disappointed yet again that John was not there. Dommy strolled out of her bedroom with a grin similar to Ashley's earlier one.

"Where the hell where you last night?" Ashley asked with her hands on her hips.

Dommy stopped and got this deer caught in headlights look on her face. She had forgotten that she had to watch the kids so Ashley could leave. But then it hit her that Ashley had to have spent the night and she didn't see her on the couch when she got in this morning.

"The better question is where did you sleep last night?" Domonique raised an eyebrow at her older cousin before beginning to smirk.

"Don't change the subject … you were supposed to watch the kids for a few hours like you do every other week so you'd better have a good excuse and I swear on the lives of my children if I hear the name Randy come out of your mouth I will beat you down"

"Sorry" was all Domonique managed to say.

Ashley rolled her eyes before grabbing her purse and leaving. Randy emerged from his room shirtless and confused. Domonique eyed him wildly seeing as he was only wearing a pair of dark blue plaid boxers.

"What was that banging noise?" he asked stretching.

"Boy will you go put some clothes on" Fabo scolded the younger man walking past him heading straight for the coffee pot. "You standing there half naked is not what I wanted to see first thing in the morning before I have even had my coffee"

"Have either of you talked to John this morning because Ashley just left and she didn't look happy"

"Wait … Ashley spent the night" Randy asked looking at Fabo.

"Why the hell are you looking at me I was out all last night dumbass" Fabo remarked.

"Oh Fabo did you have a hot date?" Dommy teased.

"A gentleman never kisses and tells my dear" he said taking his coffee into the dining room.

"Eww" Randy cringed.

"I think it's cute" Dommy said "he's just an older guy looking for someone to love"

"You my dear are a hopeless romantic" he kissed the bridge of her nose.

"Somehow I don't think you were calling me that last night" she licked her lips seductively at the third generation superstar.

"No I believe you were a naughty girl last night" he lowered his lips to taste hers.

"Eww" a little voice from behind them said.

Randy and Dommy turned around to see Dean and Phinnigan standing in the door way. Dean had Faith in his arms. All three children were staring at the two adults. Faith just laughed at the two of them while the boys wore identical looks of disgust.

"Foiled by the kids" Randy whispered in her ear "oh well there is always later"

Meanwhile with John

"Thanks for meeting me" he greeted the man with a smile and a handshake. They both had a seat at an umbrella covered table.

"Are you sure about this?" the man asked.

"I've never been more sure about anything in my life" John stated with a determined nod of the head.

"I wish you luck then son" the blue eyed man slid a black velvet box across the table to the younger man "may it bring you as much happiness as it brought me and it's previous wearer.

"Tomorrow is going to be the best night of my life" John grinned before taking a sip of his coffee.
