The next morning John woke up. He felt beside him. He opened his eyes. There was no one there.
"AJ?" He said. He sat up and looked on the floor. AJ's clothes were gone. "AJ?" Halley and Jessica appeared in the bedroom doorway.
"Is mommy here?" Halley asked.
"No why?"
"You said AJ." "That's mommy's name."
"Daddy was having a dream and mommy was in it."
"Daddy did you have a dream last night to?" Halley asked.
"Why?"
"I woke up last night for a minute." "I heard a squeaky sound and strange noises."
"Oh well daddy just had the TV up to loud that's all."
"Oh."
"Go into the living room and watch cartoons and daddy will be out to make you breakfast."
"Ok." They went into the living room. John got up shut the door and put on some clothes.
AJ was sitting at home thinking about how she'd let last night get so out of hand. She needed someone to talk to. She decided to call Kaitlyn.
"Hello?" Kaitlyn said.
"Hi it's me."
"What's wrong AJ?"
"I did something really dumb last night."
"What?"
"I slept with John."
"You what?" "How did that happen?"
"Jessica forgot Bunny Trixie last night." "I took it over to John's hotel room." "I put Jessica to bed." "John asked me if I wanted a few beers I said sure." "We drank for a few hours." "Then the next thing I know we were in his bedroom having sex." "It was really stupid."
"Why?"
"John will want more then I want."
"You mean he'll want to get back together?"
"Probably."
"You don't want to."
"No." "I'm happy with things just the way they are." She looked at the clock. "I gotta go pick up the kids."
"Alright bye."
"Bye."
AJ went to the hotel. She knocked on the door to John's room. He answered.
"Hi." He said.
"Hi." She went in.
"Hi mommy." Both of the twins said.
"Hi." "Give daddy hugs and kisses so we can go home." They both hugged and kissed John. They left.
The next night AJ was walking down the hall of the arena. She walked passed John's locker room.
"AJ." He said.
"Yeah?" She said turning around and standing in the doorway. He held up one of her plastic bracelets
"I found it in the bed when I was packing." She went in and took it.
"Thanks."
"Halley heard us."
"She heard us having sex?"
"Yeah she said she woke up for a minute and heard a squeaky sound and strange noises."
"What did you tell her?"
"That it was the TV."
"Good."
"AJ." "Why did you leave?"
"Are one night stand was over." "So I left."
"It doesn't have to just a one night stand, does it?"
"I knew you'd do this."
"Do what?" "You can't tell me you didn't feel anything."
"Look John, you know that sex between us is always amazing and two nights ago was no exception." "Why can't we both think of it as a great time and forget about it?"
"That's not what I want and I don't think it's what you want either."
"We were drunk and we had sex that's it."
"Oh yeah?" "Remember what happened the first time we got drunk and had sex on New Years Eve.
"I got pregnant."
"That's when we started falling in love with each other."
"Ha." "I know that's a lie on your part."
"What?"
"You started dating Nikki a week after that."
"Yeah I was in denial like you are now."
"Whatever I'm leaving." She turned leave. John turned her around.
"AJ, I still love you."
"John don't say that." She said with tears in her eyes
"I do AJ." "I love you."
"John." He kissed her. She kissed him back. She broke it after a few seconds. "I'm sorry I can't."
"Baby-
"No I can't do this again." "The truth is, I love you but a relationship is more then just love." "It's also trust and I don't trust you. She left.
