A/N: Thank you for the reviews of the last chapter.
AJ and Lindsey make it to the restaurant and AJ requested a booth in the back of the restaurant. When Lindsey asked why, AJ told her it was for privacy.
Luke and Maggie just made it to the restaurant. She looked where they were and smiled "You remembered I like Mexican food."
"Of course. If you really like someone you'll remember their favorite things."
They got out of the truck and Luke gave Maggie his arm again and she gladly took it.
AJ notice Luke and Maggie walk in, glad they took a seat towards the front of the restaurant so they wouldn't notice him.
"Have you eaten here before?" Maggie asked as they looked over their menus.
"No, but AJ has. He said it's pretty good."
Maggie looked up at him "Let's not talk about him. This night is about us." she was a little upset with AJ for a conversation she had with him the day before, and what he had done.
Flashback
Maggie was out in front of her house washing her car. She had on a tank top and shorts with her hair up on top of her head in a bun. She had her phone hooked up to a Bluetooth speaker and was listening to music.
She jumped when she heard someone talking to her "Hey Maggie."
"You sure are good at scaring me Allen Jones."
"Ouch, you said my real name." he dramatically put his hand over his heart. "I actually came over for a reason."
"What's that?"
AJ sighed and ran his hands through his hair. He looked over Maggie and thought she looked really cute "Please don't go out with Luke."
Maggie gave AJ a look "Don't start Allen. I like Luke and I'm pretty sure he likes me."
"He's all wrong for you."
"And who is right for me AJ? You?"she shook her head "Just forget it."
Maggie turned to walk away when AJ grabbed her wrist "I'm sorry Maggie"
"Please let me go AJ."
AJ slowly pulled her towards him and wrapped his arms around her "I know you really don't want me to let you go."
"I'm not..." she was cut off by his lips connecting with hers. She dreamed of this moment for a long time. But that was then. She really liked Luke and wasn't gonna let anyone or anything get in the way. She pushed hard on his chest "Don't ever touch me again." she ran in the house and slammed the door shut.
End Flashback
"You're right. This night is our night." he took one of her hands in his and gently kissed her knuckle making Maggie giggle and blush.
AJ was watching them. He hated seeing Luke's hands on Maggie. If he wasn't married to the bitch across from him it could have been him with Maggie in stead of Luke.
"Allen, are you listening to me?" Lindsey asked as she put her fork down.
"Yeah." he said shortly.
Lindsey frowned "What the hell is wrong with you? You have been in a mood the last few days."
"I want a divorce." he even surprised himself by saying that.
Lindsey's eyes went wide and she got tears "What? AJ, no. Please don't do this." they may have argued a lot, but she loved him so much. "I'll do anything to change your mind. I love you so much. Please tell me what I have to do." she reached over and took his hands in hers.
AJ looked at his wife "I don't want that either. Things are gonna have to change." he looked over at Maggie's table in time to see Luke lean over and kiss her on the cheek. He took a deep breath to calm himself. "Let's go home and talk about this." he pulled his wallet and threw some money on the table before getting up and taking Lindsey's hand and they exited out the back of the restaurant.
Maggie and Luke were talking and getting to know each other better on a more intimate level. They knew each other for years already, but not romantically.
"Karl is going to kill you for telling me that story." Maggie said giggling.
Luke smiled, he loved hearing her laugh. "You'll protect me. Besides, it was his own fault. He shouldn't have jumped off that high cliff at the lake."
"I missed so much while I was away at college."
"I have a lot more to tell you. But I'll tell you more later. Gotta save stuff for other dates we'll have."
After they left the restaurant, Luke drove them to the bar. They ordered a drink and found a table to talk at. They sat on the same side and Luke had his arm round her shoulders.
"I'm having a really great time with you, Luke."
Luke smiled "I'm having a great time with you too. I definitely want to go out with you again."
"I want to go out with you again too."
Luke leaned down and gently kissed her cheek, then her lips. He grinned when he heard her moan softly. He kissed her again and this time gently slid his tongue in her mouth. He pulled away before kissing her forehead. He looked at his watch and groaned seeing it was getting late. They were at the bar later than he thought they were. "I guess I should take you home."
Luke took Maggie home and he walked her to the door. He gave her a soft kiss good night before he watched her walk in the house before turning around and going to his truck before heading home.
The next morning Maggie woke up with a smile. She turned over when she heard her phone ding. She looked and found a text message from Luke.
Good morning beautiful. I had a great time last night.
Maggie replied Hi handsome. I had a great time too.
Luke was getting ready for work and couldn't keep the smile off his face as he read the text from Maggie. He was falling for her fast Good, because I think we should go out again this weekend. There is a festival in the next town.
Sounds good, Luke. I'm excited to go out with you again.
Maggie got out of bed and went to the kitchen to fix some breakfast. As she was eating cereal, she got an idea to bring Luke and Karl some lunch. She text both of them to let them know.
