A/N: Thank you for the reviews of the last chapter. They are always greatly appreciated.

AJ was not in a good mood when he woke up. Lindsey was true to her word and made AJ sleep on the couch. Lucky for him it was a nice sized couch. He slowly got up from the couch and stretched. He smelled coffee and went into the kitchen to fix a cup. As he is fixing his coffee he looked out the window and noticed Lindsey's car wasn't in the driveway. He sighed in relief knowing he didn't have to deal with her yet.

Today was AJ's day off. He was happy he didn't have to work. He already decided he would go to the bar later and check on Maggie and make sure everything was going well with her first day of work. He for some reason felt protective of her. Maybe because she was his best friends little sister and he knew her for a long time.

After finishing his coffee, AJ headed up to his bathroom to start getting ready for the day. He took a shower, brushed his teeth, dried his hair then got dressed. He got a text from Karl asking if he wanted to go to breakfast with him and Luke.

Meanwhile, Lindsey was at the grocery store. She was walking down the aisle when she saw one of her neighbors, an older woman named Mrs. Carlson. "Lindsey, dear. I'm so sorry"

Lindsey got a confused look on her face "Why Mrs. Carlson?"

"I was walking my dog last night when I saw AJ kiss Maggie Anderson's cheek. He was leaving her house."

"Wait, he was with Maggie last night?"

"I don't know what was happening."

Lindsey nodded her head. She was seething on the inside. She didn't know when she was gonna confront AJ about it. She was hoping it was nothing. When she got home she got the groceries out of the car. She looked around and noticed AJ's truck wasn't in the driveway. She walked in the kitchen and sat the grocery bags down when she noticed a note on the fridge.

Lindsey, went to breakfast with Karl and Luke. Be home later.

AJ was sitting in the diner with Luke. They were just waiting on Karl to get there before they ordered breakfast. "What are you doing on your day off?" Luke asked as he was sipping on his coffee.

AJ shrugged. "I was thinking of going to Calaway's tonight." he said as Karl sat at the table.

"I'm going too. I'm gonna be there most of the night. I know Mark will look after my little sister, but he isn't always gonna be there." Karl said. Their waitress came over and took their breakfast order. "Luke you coming tonight?" Karl asked after their waitress walked away.

"Sure, why not? I could use a night out. Maybe I could find a girl to take home."

AJ laughed "We need to find you a girlfriend."

Luke shook his head no "I like being single."

The rest of the day went by smoothly. AJ, Karl and Luke had a good time at breakfast. After leaving the diner, AJ went home and found Lindsey sitting in the living room reading a book. "Hey Lindsey. I'm home."

"Hello Allen" she said with a tense voice. "I'm fixing dinner a little early tonight. Make sure to be home this time."

"I'm sorry Lindsey. I didn't mean to miss dinner last night. I had a rough day yesterday and I just needed to blow off some steam."

"I know. It's fine. Just please let me know next time that you'll be late. Especially if my parents are gonna be here."

AJ walked over to Lindsey and kissed her forehead "I will. I promise." he went upstairs to their room to relax and watch TV.

During dinner things were a little tense once again. AJ didn't know what was going on. He planned on going out and hoped things would be little better when he got home.

"I'm going to Calaway's." AJ told Lindsey as they finished washing the dishes. "I'm meeting Luke and Karl there."

"That sounds fun. I'll go too." Lindsey said as she dried her hands. She wanted to confront Maggie. She wanted to make sure the little slut stayed away from her husband.

"If you really want to that's fine" he kissed the side of her head and went to get ready to go out.

When they got to the bar, AJ looked around and found Karl and Luke playing a round of pool. He nodded towards them before walking over to the counter and ordered a couple of beers from Mark. He didn't see Maggie so he assumed she was on break.

"Maggie?" Lindsey said as she approached the younger woman "I want to make one thing perfectly clear. Stay... away... from... AJ. He is my husband. I see the way you look at him. He is mine. He doesn't want you."

Maggie smiled "You have no idea what you're talking about, Lindsey. I don't want AJ. He is my brother's best friend." she moved a little close "I suggest you don't ever get in my face again. Because next time you do it won't be pretty." she backed up and walked back to the bar to serve the customers that just came in.

AJ was sitting at the bar when he saw Maggie approach him "Hey Maggie. How was your first night?"

"It was good until your wife decided it was a good idea to confront me and tell me to stay away from you."

"WHAT?" AJ stood up "Why?"

"I don't know. But I suggest you keep her away from me. Next time I'll deck her."

"I'm so sorry Maggie. I'll talk to her. If you see your brother or Luke tell them I'll talk to them later." he walked over to Lindsey "Let's go."

"Why?" she was acting innocent.

"Now, Lindsey."

The car ride home was very tense. You could cut to tension with a knife. When they got home they walked in the house and AJ slammed the door shut behind "What is your problem Allen?"

"Why did you tell Maggie to stay away from me?"

"I felt you two were getting too close. Mrs. Carlson told me she saw you kiss her cheek last night. Did you sleep with her?"

"WHAT? No. I have never been unfaithful. How long have you known me Lindsey? You know I would never cheat on you."

"You say that now..."

"Never." AJ walked away and to the guest room slamming the door behind him.
