How it all Began

Part 5

It took them both quite a long time to finish their dinners, because in the middle of eating JJ had started silently crying. Aaron felt terrible for being the cause of it so he reached across the table to hold her hand, hoping that it would comfort her in some way.

JJ just looked at him with a grateful smile, and continued eating her dinner until Aaron and her were both finished, and ready to continue their conversation.

Aaron and JJ both looked at each other, not knowing what to say next. Aaron only had one more question for JJ so he decided to ask it now.

" JJ, what are we gonna do now? I can't go back to just being friends, after we have admitted our feelings for each other."

JJ knew that this was probably gonna come up, and she honestly wasn't sure how they would move forward from here.

" I don't know Aaron, but I can't go back to just being friends with you."

Aaron didn't know what he should say to her.

"JJ, do you love Will at all?"

"Aaron, I thought I already made this clear to you, I don't love Will. Do you love Heather?"

" JJ I don't love her. I never have, you are the only women that I have been in love with besides Hayley."

JJ looked up at him, and then at their conjoined hands, not knowing what to say next. Aaron saw her looking at their hands, and he smiled, happy that she had not pulled hers away yet.

They both got lost thinking about what they could've been, and the time that they have lost with each other. After a few minutes the waitress came by to pick up their plates and give them the check, and that's when Aaron realized that it was getting late.

" JJ it's getting late, we should probably go soon before Will and Heather start calling."

" Yeah you're right Aaron, I promised Henry I would still read him his bedtime story."

That's when they got up from their table, so Aaron could pay the bill. When he got done paying it, they headed out of the restaurant to the parking lot to get their cars.

It was really dark so Aaron decided to walk JJ to her car. It took them both a while to find her car because JJ forgot where she parked. When they finally got to her car they unlinked their hands, so JJ could unlock her car, but she just stood there next to him not wanting to leave yet.

Little did she know that Aaron was feeling the same way right now, he did not want to leave her either, but he knew that if he didn't come home his wife would send out the search party for him.

JJ walked the rest of the way to her car door, so that she could unlock it, and also in an attempt to hide her tears from Aaron. When she got it unlocked she put her purse on the passenger seat, and was starting to get inside when Aaron called to her.

"JJ wait!"

"Yes, Aar- "

Before JJ could even finish her sentence, Aaron's lips were crashing down onto hers. She gasped in surprise, which allowed Aaron's tongue entrance.

It wasn't till after they were done kissing, that Aaron even realized what he had just done, and he honestly didn't regret it. He felt JJ back away from him slightly so he opened his eyes and smiled at her, and he felt relieved when he saw that she was flashing her beautiful smile at him.

JJ got in the car and started it, so that it could warm up before she had to drive home.

"Goodnight Aaron, thank you for dinner and everything else. I enjoyed it."

He smiled at her.

"Goodnight JJ, I'm glad you enjoyed it, and text me when you get home."

"Okay I will."
