�Come on my mouse,� AJ said, sitting down but not letting Shannon sit down in the chair. Instead, he pulled her down on his lap.
�You know Mr.McLean, you can really be one of the sweetest guys,� Shannon said, looking once again into his eyes and wrapping her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. They were about to kiss when the waiter came with their food. She was getting up to leave when AJ pulled her back down
�Where do you think your going?� AJ asked kissing her neck.
�Back to my seat,� she answered.
�Sorry baby. Your seat has become my lap,� he replied.
Shannon�s heart melted. That�s always been one of the things she wanted to hear from him.
�Okay,� she said picking up he fork to eat.
�Excuse me. What do you think your doing?� AJ asked.
�Eating,� she answered smiling.
�Sorry, my job is to feed you,� AJ said, giving her one of his heart breaking smiles. AJ picked up his fork and fed Shannon. They did this for the next hour. AJ paid the bill and they left. It was 9:45.
�Where are we going now?� Shannon asked.
�Just wait and see,� AJ answered.

We arrived at the restaurant at 8:30. The waiter took us to the corner of the room. There was a red rose with a note and a little teddy bear. The note was to me. I sat down in the chair that Howie pulled out for me. I tired to read the note but it wasn�t easy since the only light was the candle light. I finally got it in the light. The card read �Mi amor, I love you so much. I hope you like the bear. Love Always, Howie�. I looked at the bear. It was a smaller version of the bear that Howie won for me at the fair.
�The bear is so cute,� I said leaning across the table and giving him a kiss. �I love you.�
�I love you too,� Howie said. The song �I Swear� by All 4 One came on. �May I have this dance?� Howie asked.
�Sure.� He pulled me into his arms and just held me tight. He whispered in my ear �you look outstandingly beautiful.�
�Thanks,� I said as I put my head on his shoulder. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment. I could fell Howie putting his head on mine. I just smiled wishing he would be mine forever. �What I thought! Mine forever. Like in bed�. That made me smile even bigger. Howie looked down at me.
�What are you thinking?� he asked.
�I�m thinking about having you in my bed forever,� I said in his ear. I went and started kissing his neck.
�Now, Theresa, that�s not a bad idea. In fact, I would rather enjoy that,� he said. He looked down at me and smiled. But his smile soon faded as he looked past me.
�What is it?� I asked.
�Emily, my ex-girlfriend,� he said.
I turned around and saw a very beautiful blond woman watching Howie. Howie grabbed my hand and walked over to the table.
�Wanna tell me what happened?� I asked looking at him.
�Not now. I don�t want to ruin the evening,� he said as he grabbed my hand and kissed it.
�Here you go sir,� the waiter said.
�Thanks,� Howie said. �I ordered it when I called for reservations,� he said, understanding my look. We sat there and we talked and ate. We went on the dance floor just one more time. �I�ll Never Break Your Heart� came on. Howie and I just danced closely to one another. I looked into those eyes once again. He put his hand on my cheek and we kissed.

�Close your eyes,� AJ told Shannon as they hung a left.
�AJ, just tell me where we�re going,� Shannon said.
�No. Don�t worry, we�re almost there,� he told her. So for the next 10 minutes she enjoyed the ride. They pulled to a stop. Not to far from Shannon, she could hear water flow.
�Okay, open your eyes,� AJ said as he wrapped his arms around Shannon from behind.
�Oh my, AJ, it�s so pretty here,� Shannon said. They went to highest point in Orlando. All around them were the lights of the city. �Look at those stars,� Shannon said.
�They don�t compare to the ones in your eyes,� AJ said, kissing Shannon�s neck. AJ let go of her and went to turn the radio up. �I Do� by 98* came on. �May I have this dance,� AJ asked.
�I suppose,� Shannon said. They danced underneath all the stars and a beautiful full moon.
�Shannon?� AJ asked.
�Hmm?� Shannon asked as she put her head on his shoulder.
�You look very sexy in that dress,� AJ said.
�Thank you AJ,� she said as she started kissing him. He put one hand on the small of her back and the other played with her hair. He pulled away from her lips and started kissing her neck with a passion. And they finally pulled apart and breathed. AJ tilted Shannon�s head up and just stared into the most prettiest eyes he had every seen.

�Shannon, you know you have some of the prettiest eyes,� AJ said.
�Thank you. You know you have some of the sexiest eyes?� Shannon asked. When they were about to kiss again, AJ�s phone rang.
�Hello. Look, stop calling me. We�re through. So just stop calling Amanda,� AJ said. He hung up the phone and put it back in his pocket.
�Come on Shannon,� AJ said. He couldn�t believe that Amanda had just called, but when he looked into Shannon�s eyes, all the anger he felt melted away and was replaced with love for her.
�Okay AJ,� Shannon said. �We can go wherever you like.�
�Let�s go back you your place,� AJ said giving Shannon a very devilish smile.
�AJ! Behave yourself,� Shannon said play hitting him.
�Don�t move Shannon,� AJ said. He looked at her neck and when the moonlight hit her neck, you could see a mark forming.
�What is it AJ?� Shannon asked.
�Um, nothing. I thought I saw something.�
�Okay,� Shannon said as she got in the car. She pulled the visor down checking her make up. She looked one way and froze. The moonlight hit that one spot. For the first time, she had a hickey. As soon as AJ got in the car Shannon just looked at him. �Didn�t tell me or you couldn�t?� she asked, smiling.
�I didn�t know what to say. I didn�t mean to,� AJ said.
