Chapter 4

As the two headed out for dinner, Randy and Alyssa were ordering room service as were Ted and Jenna. John and Layla enjoyed a nice dinner and they were only interrupted a few times by fans asking for autographs and pictures. John and Layla signed and posed for the fans before finishing their meals and heading back to the hotel. John walked Layla to her room and as they approached the door, they could hear muffled cries of pleasure coming from the room.

"Well, I guess I am out of luck." Layla stated.

"Come on up to my room. It's at least quieter there." John responded.

"Okay." Layla stated as she and John walked away.

"We can watch a movie or something." John responded.

"Sounds good to me." Layla smiled.

John and Layla headed up to John's room and managed to barely dodge some fans were lingering in the hallways. Once they were in John's room, Layla set her bag down and kicked off her shoes. John locked the door and turned on the TV while kicked off his shoes. John plopped down on the bed and looked over at Layla who was in the process of shutting of her cell phone.

"Come join me." John stated as he patted the bed next to him.

Layla walked over to the bed and laid down next to John. John flipped through the stations before finding a The Notebook. John pulled Layla closer to him and wrapped his arms around her. Layla laid her head on John's chest and smiled. John didn't want this moment to end and neither did Layla. Layla placed a hand on John's abdomen and relaxed a little bit more.

"I'm happy you are here with me." John stated.

"Me too." Layla responded.

"Do you want to make us official?" John asked.

"Official?" Layla asked slightly confused.

"What I mean is, you're my girlfriend and I'm your boyfriend. When we go out we don't have to hide it and we can be open with our friends and co-workers about us dating." John explained.

"I would like that." Layla responded as she sat up. "Since we are official and all that, what about rooming together or do you want to keep your own room?"

"I would love to share a room with you." John stated as he cupped her face and claimed her lips in a kiss.

Layla kissed him back and John pulled her on top of him and wrapped his arms around her. They stripped each other down to nothing and made love to each other for the first time. John made sure to be as gentle as possible as he wanted her to enjoy every moment. Once they were done, John pulled the covers up around them and held Layla in his arms before falling asleep. The next morning, John and Layla showered before heading to her room to gather her stuff and head out to the next location.

"Why are you here John?" Kelly asked.

"He is here to help me get my things." Layla answered.

"Oh is that all?" Kelly asked as she looked over at John and smiled.

"Forget it Kelly he is taken." Layla said.

"Yeah right. John has been single for months, haven't you Johnny?" Kelly asked as she walked towards John.

"Kelly, Layla is right. I am a taken man so back off." John stated and wrapped his arms around Layla. "You ready to go?"

"OMG! You two are together?" Kelly asked in shock.

"Yes we are. Now keep your mouth shut." Layla stated as she smiled at her friend.

"I won't say a word." Kelly responded as she watched John and Layla leave the room.

John had a rental car and was going to drive to the next city as it wasn't all that far. John picked up Layla's luggage and put it in the trunk of the car after he loaded up his. Layla figured that John was driving them to the airport. John opened the door for Layla and helped her into the car before walking around and getting into the drivers seat. John pulled away from the hotel and headed for the interstate. Layla didn't think anything of it until they passed the exit for the airport.

"Uh, John. The airport is that way." Layla said.

"I know. But I figured that we would drive to the next city." John responded and he took her hand in his.

"Okay." Layla stated as she smiled and squeezed his hand.

As John drove, Layla eventually fell asleep. John looked over and smiled at his sleeping girlfriend. He was happy that she felt the same way about him as he did about her. Randy, Alyssa, Ted and Jenna were in the cars behind them and after about 3 hours of driving, John pulled off the road and found a diner to get something to eat.

"Where are we?" Layla asked as she got out of the car.

"Not sure. But there is a diner and gas station, so I know we have food and the ability to get out of here on a full tank." John answered.

"That's good." Layla responded.

As the six headed into the diner, they were seated right away and handed menus. Once they ordered, Randy wrapped an arm around Alyssa and Ted did the same with Jenna. John held Layla's hand under the table. Their food and drinks arrived rather quickly and as soon as they started eating a few fans arrived and asked for pictures and autographs from the group. After posing for pictures and signing autographs, they finished dinner and headed back to their rental cars.
