A/N: Thank you for the reviews of the last chapter.

Maggie sighed as she walked into Luke's apartment. Earlier in the morning she talked to Karl and told him what happened. She made sure Luke was at work before she went to his apartment to get her stuff. When she walked in she noticed a lot of her stuff was already in boxes. As she was packing her stuff she started getting tears in her eyes. She loved Luke, but she didn't think she was in love with him like she thought. Seeing AJ woke feelings in her that she hadn't had for a while.

Once all of her stuff was loaded in her car, she took one last look around the apartment to make sure she didn't miss anything then she took the apartment key off her key ring and left it on the counter. She took her stuff back to her apartment before going to the grocery store. She got everything she needed and took it home before unpacking everything. She looked at the time and saw it was almost time for her to go down for work. Lucky for her she didn't have far to go now.

Maggie got changed then headed downstairs. She walked in the bar and saw Elias already there. "You all moved in?" he asked as she came behind the bar.

"All moved in."

"What's up with you and AJ? I saw you two kissing."

"I don't know yet. I only just broke up with Luke."

"We have known each other a long time. I know you have had a huge crush on AJ for most of your life. I also know you were just with Luke until AJ became available. Right?"

"I guess you're right. I do love Luke. Just not the right kind of love."

"At least you figured that out before you got in too deep. You know AJ will treat you like a queen."

"It will take a while before I feel up to being in a relationship again."

"Don't rush. Take your time. You'll know when you're ready."

Maggie smiled and gave Elias a hug "You always know what to say."

"I'm here when you wanna talk."

The night went by pretty smoothly. They stayed pretty busy. Karl and Alexa came by close to the end of Maggie's shift. She had a short one today and it was still early. They were gonna go up to her apartment to hang out for a little while.

Karl, Alexa and Maggie was about to head out the door when AJ walked in "Hey Maggie."

"Hey AJ. We are heading upstairs if you wanna join us." she brushed his arm with her hand. "There will be beer and burgers."

AJ got a smile on his face "I would like that."

They all head upstairs. Karl went into the kitchen to start getting the burgers ready. Maggie went to her room to change into something more comfortable. There was a knock on her bedroom door.

"Come in." she called out.

"What is going on?" Alexa asked as she walked in and closed the door behind her.

"Honestly, I don't know. You know how much I like AJ."

"I thought you liked Luke."

"I thought so too, but things became different with him after Dad died. We argued a lot and things became difficult. After we broke up I felt a weight lifting off my shoulders."

"We need to have a major girls night. We need to invite our friends over and pig out on pizza, wine, watch trashy movies. All the sleep over cliche things."

"I agree."

"Hey ladies, get your butts out here." Karl yelled through the door.

The two girls laughed. Maggie finished getting dressed in her t-shirt and shorts before they walk back out to the living room.

The four had a good time. They ate and had a few beers. This is how Maggie envisioned her relationship with Luke. Maybe she can have it with AJ. Karl and Alexa were long gone to bed. They both drank a little too much and didn't want to drive. AJ and Maggie stayed up for a little while longer. He was sitting on the couch with his arm around Maggie's shoulders "Can I be honest?"

"Of course."

"I'm sure you know by now I'm in love with you. I want to be your man, and you be my woman. But I know you aren't ready and I understand. I'll be here when you're ready. Just say the word."

"I'll keep that in mind. I'm sorry for being such a bitch towards you. There may have been a couple times you deserved it though."

"I can't argue with that. I did deserve it a few times."

"Being with Luke changed me."

"You know you won't have to change for me. Speaking of Luke. He left the garage today. He's going to a different one across town."

"It will be easier to visit you and Karl now. Will you forgive me for how I acted towards you?"

"Only if you forgive me."

"Deal."

They slowly moved their lips towards each other. AJ gently brushed his lips over Maggie's. When she didn't pull away, he took the opportunity to add a little pressure to their kiss. He slowly let his tongue glide in her mouth..

Maggie wrapped her arms around AJ and pulled him closer to her. She pushed her tongue to meet his.

AJ pulled away and rested his forehead against hers "We better stop. As much as I want this to happen it's better if we wait. I don't want us to have sex when we aren't together."

Maggie knew he was right "I know." she gently pushed him away "I better get to bed. If I don't get away I won't be able to control myself." she stood up "I'll get you a pillow and blanket. The couch pulls out into a bed." she went to the all closet and got a pillow and a blanket for AJ. When she got back over to him, she had to stop and take a deep breath. AJ had taken his shirt off. "Allen, you're making this harder than it needs to be."

AJ smirked "I could be standing here naked. Which by the way, is how I sleep." he winked at her before taking the blanket and pillow from her. "I'm done torturing you. I'll see you in the morning." he kissed her forehead before giving her ass a gentle tap.

Maggie made it to her bedroom door before looking at AJ "By the way, I sleep naked too." she smirked before walking in her room and shutting the door.

A/N 2: What did you think? Is Maggie moving too fast? How long do you think it will be before she is with AJ fully? Please review and let me know what you think and thank you for taking the time to read.
