Seventeen years ago, Dan Scott had gotten Karen Roe pregnant with twins just after they left high school but chose basketball and his college scholarship over his pregnant girlfriend and future babies, three months later he got another woman pregna...
AJ stayed until the late of hours of the night as him and Alex lay in her bed and simply talked about everything yet nothing at all until Karen came up to Alex's room to tell them that it was time for AJ to go since she was aware of them being in alone in her room and that it was late. Despite everything that had happened and everything that was said at Dan's party, Alex and AJ only seemed to have gotten closer as a result of it all. Which meant that the following Saturday morning while Alex was working at the café as well as running it while her mom and Keith went to get supplies for the café, AJ decided to hang with Alex as she worked before he needed to leave for his own job at the local supermarket as a bag boy since he liked having his own money due to feeling like he already own his brother too much.

" dude, I don't get how you can even say that!" Alex said with a chuckle as she walked passed where he was sitting in order to serve for table the plate of pancakes and cup of coffee that he had ordered
" come on, are you for real? The whole thing is so flawed and ridiculous!" AJ said as he eat the last of the French toast that he had ordered as well as the coffee as she leaned against the counter to talk
" have you even read it? I mean Heathcliff and Cathy are like the ultimate couple, they may be flawed but that's what makes them so relatable" Alex said as she thought about the current book they were talking about
" relatable? Come on, he basically abuses her and they are such horrible people too" AJ said as he thought about the book at hand as he smiled at her as he realised how much he loved talking to her
" you know it's a good thing that you're so cute because you have lousy opinions in books" Alex said as she leaned over the counter to kiss him as she laughed, loving how easy things between them were
" okay, how about this... you read my favourite book and I'll read yours. Meaning you need to read 1984 by George Orwell" AJ said with a smile as he thought about what she might think about the book
" and you need to read little women by Louisa May Alcott.Don't laugh, I know it's such a girlie book but it's one of my moms favourites. She used to read it to me when she would me to bed" Alex said softly
" in that case, I'm sure that I'll love just as much as you do" AJ said leaning over to give her another kiss which was interrupted by someone clearing their throat as they pulled away to see Brooke
" hey, you two! I was hoping you were working today. You think you could give us a minute alone, AJ?" Brooke said noticing the change in attitude the moment that Alex saw her standing next to AJ as he gave a questioning look
" it's fine, go to work and I'll call you later.... what do you want?" Alex said first softly to AJ as she tried to reassure him as she gave him one last kiss before becoming slightly colder as she turned to Brooke
