“What time did Ryan say they’d be here?” Lorena questioned as she pulled on her shoes Lorena checked her watch “They should be here-“ just then there was a knock at the door “Now” she said as she headed for the door. Ryan was prompt if nothing else “Hey” she said swinging the door open “You guys ready?” “Lorena?” she questioned “Ready” she said pulling her shoes on The three left the room to meet the rest of them downstairs. Ryan tapped the woman that was talking to Paul on the shoulder The woman turned and Paige froze; it was Colleen “Colleen Sullivan, Paige Murphy” “Ah so I see you managed to snag an Irish woman even being across the pond” she said shaking Paige’s hand “Well only on my father’s side” she said a bit nervous “No matter, a little Irish is better than none at all” “I must say it’s so nice to finally meet you; Ryan talks about you so much, I feel as if I know you” “He does does he?” she replied eyeing Ryan with speculation “Did he tell you about the time I nearly broke his nose and he cried like a baby all the way home?” Paige burst out laughing, not only at the statement, but the look of horror that crossed Ryan’s face “I did not cry, dirt flew in my eye and I ran home because my mother was callin me” he said defensively “She was not” Colleen argued as she continued with the story “We were five and you called me a doody head and I slugged ya. Then you cried that I’d broken your nose and that you were gonna tell your ma” Ryan shook his head and started to argue back when Paul interupted him “Trust me Paige we could be here all day with them goin back and forth like this; please say something to put an end to it so we can get dinner some time tonight” Paige thought for a minute and a devious smile spread across her face. She grabbed Colleen by the hand and started to walk towards the restaurant “Did Ryan ever tell you about the time he helped me decorate cupcakes by putting tiny little blue flowers on them?” she winked back at Ryan who was already hanging his head as he realized the trouble he was in by introducing these two. “So what are the rest of you doing for the week?” Paige asked later as they all sat around the dinner table “Well Sarah and Carrie are due in tomorrow morning and I promised Sarah we’d go to the zoo” George replied “Just make sure you don’t take Paul-he’s so hairy they might mistake him for one of the monkeys and try to cage him” Ryan teased, getting rewarded with a look of death from Paul who was doing his best to impress Lorena, and from the looks of it was succeeding. “So what are you doing Keith?” Paige questioned trying to break some of the tension “It’s California-what else?” everyone laughed as they realized that Keith would be spending just about every waking moment surfing “And he’s agreed to teach me!” Damian exclaimed Keith rolled his eyes “I’d forgotten about that” “Too late now! Everyone else is going to be busy” “What about you Neil?” Keith inquired Neil laughed “Sorry dude, I’ll be writing this week and perhaps checking out some new guitars” Damian feigned rejection “Noone wants to hang out with me this week” he put on his best sad face “I could always teach you to make your favorite cookies” Paige offered, which earned a look from Ryan “Um I think you’ll be busy this week” he supplied “Oh really? I didn’t here anyone ask me if I was doing anything, plus you know you have Colleen here to entertain” Ryan’s face flushed and he started to argue with her when Colleen piped up “Actually I have a few things to take care of businesswise while I’m here. That’s one of the reasons I agreed to come out this week; figured I’d kill two birds with one stone.” “See?” Ryan said “Well still, noone’s asked me if I had plans this week or not” Ryan sighed “Paige I would be honored if you would do me the pleasure of hanging out with me this week. Better?” “Much” she said kissing him “Sorry Damian I guess I’ll have to teach you some other time” “It’s ok, I’ll have more fun torturing Keith anyway” he replied earning a sigh from Keith, which made everyone laugh.

“So I heard there’s a club not far from here that’s supposed to be really hot” Lorena piped up as they were finishing dinner “Is that your way of telling me you want to go dancing?” Paul asked “Maybe” she said blushing just a little “So who’s with us?” Paul asked around the table “Well I’m out-have to pick Carrie and Sarah up early in the morning” said George “As long as it’s 18 and over I’m in” Damian agreed “Sounds like a plan then” Paul commented as the rest of them nodded agreements. An hour and a half later everyone said their goodbyes to George, and Neil who begged out as well on account of having a migraine, and headed over to the club, which turned out not to be too far at all. Damian wasted no time in finding a girl willing to dance with him, if you could call it that; most of it was his arms doing common house hold things like mowing the lawn and stacking shelves. Paige was cracking up laughing when Ryan brought over a drink “What’s so funny?” “Whatever the heck it is that Damian’s doing” she said indicating with her head Ryan laughed “The boy can sing like a lark, but when it comes to dancing he’s hopeless” “Well maybe Paul should teach him a thing or two” she said indicating where Paul and Lorena were cutting a rug “Or we could” he said suddenly snagging her hand and half dragging her onto the dance floor Paige couldn’t remember the last time she’d had such a good time; she loved dancing but could never find a boyfriend willing to dance with her “I knew you’d be good” Ryan said “Oh really? How’s that?” “I’ve seen the way you run and let me tell you; you’ve got rhythm” he winked at her “Well you’re not so bad yourself” “That’s just cuz I’m not doing this” he said and started to mimic some of Damian’s dance moves That had Paige cracking up to the point of tears “This is why I love you” she said and realized her mistake as soon as the words were out; she loved Ryan, but she had no idea how he felt. She had come to that realization earlier that day when they were out running. He’d finally asked her why she cried so much during Green Fields of France and she’d hesitated for a minute before telling him the story of losing her father to a long, painful battle with emphazema. She told him how she’d heard the song at a memorial and thought it only fitting that they play it for her father, an army vet who’d served two years in Vietnam before being sent home due to injuries. By the time she finished she was crying so much that she half expected Ryan to turn tale and run, or stand there awkwardly not knowing what to do like most of her boyfriends had. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. After wiping away her tears he’d whispered “He was a great man; and the best part of him is still here” it was one of the sweetest things anyone had ever said to her Ryan noticed Paige’s look of panic and smiled. Pulling her close he said “It’s ok I love you too” Just then the Righteous Brothers’ Unchained Melody came on and Paige sighed as Ryan began to sway her to the music “I love this song” “Me too; for the simple fact that I get to hold you this close” he whispered The song ended and a fast number came on “Time to switch” Keith said grabbing Paige’s hand and handing Colleen, whom he’d been dancing with off to Ryan. Paige laughed at the expression on Colleen’s face, which said ‘You’re gonna make me dance with him?’ “The two of them are so funny together” she turned to Keith, who lucky for her was a good dancer as well “Yeah they are, you should see them at Christmas parties when the alcohol’s flowing” he laughed “They’ve been friends for so long that we all expected them to get married a long time ago” “Really? Why is that?” she inquired He shrugged his shoulders “Convinience I guess; up until now neither one of them have had a serious relationship since theirs ended” Paige paused “They dated?” Keith nodded “For about 6 weeks in college. However I think it was more consoling than dating; they’d both just gotten out of bad relationships and were looking for a way to heal. Looks like they’ve both healed fine though, at least from Ryan’s end anyway; I saw the way he was looking at you during that slow song” Paige was blushing profusely, but her smile was a mile wide. “Oh my feet have never been so sore!” Paige complained as they finally stopped outside her hotel room “Well you shouldn’t have danced to EVERY song” Ryan replied laughing “Sorry, you’re the first boyfriend I’ve had that would actually dance with me” “Really? Why would anyone pass up the opportunity to have you close enough to do this” he said pulling her in for a kiss Paige broke the kiss and sighed “I have to go” “I know, and it’s late so why don’t we forego the running tomorrow?” “What? Ryan Kelly doesn’t want to run?” “Not that I don’t want to, but I have somethings to do tomorrow and so do you” “I do?” she questioned “Yes, go shopping and pick up something really nice to wear; I want to take you out” “You mean as in an actual date?” she mocked “Yes; Paige you have a date with me” he said pointing his thumb at himself “When and where” she eyed him suspiciously He pulled her in for one last kiss and said “I’ll call you with the details” and then he was gone, leaving her wondering ‘What do you have up your sleeve?' she thought as she got ready for bed

“So did he tell you where you were going?” Lorena questioned the next day as they shopped for “something nice” as Ryan put it. “Nothing” she said as she held a dress up for inspection and then put it back, deciding against it “So all he said was buy something nice to wear?” “Pretty much” just then she heard Jon Bon Jovi’s voice singing ‘It’s My Life’. Digging through her purse, she caught her phone on the last ring “Hello?” “Are you shopping?” Ryan’s voice questioned her “I am” it was funny how just the sound of his voice could bring a smile to her face “What are YOU doing?” “That is for me to know and you to find out my dear” “Well mystery man, tell me one thing” “What’s that?” “Do I need to have something for tonight or can I take my time?” “As long as you’re ready by seven o’clock tomorrow night take as long as you’d like” “Good, cuz I’m having fun shopping” “I’m glad, well I just wanted to let you know that I probably won’t see you until then” “Why? Wait I know it’s for you to know and me to find out right?” Ryan laughed to himself “You catch on quick; gotta go- love you!” “But Ryan where are we-“ she stopped as she realized the dial tone was the only thing left on the other end “So? What did he say?” Lorena questioned the minute she got off the phone “He said he’d see me tomorrow night at seven” she said flipping her phone closed “That’s it?” “That’s it” “Oh I hate that! Wonder if I could get anything out of Paul” “You two are that close now ey?” she said smiling at her friend Lorena merely blushed “Things are going well” “I can see by the glow on your face” both of them dissolved into giggles; they felt sixteen again “However this is not about ME; this is about YOU and finding you something fabulous to wear. Come on” she said dragging Paige to the next store. “Excuse me miss, but this is for you” the waiter said and handed Paige a long stemmed red rose. “How does he keep finding me?” Paige said to Lorena as they started eating again. The roses started coming shortly after she’d talked to him when they were in one of the dress shops; some random woman had come up to her and said this is for you; at first Paige had thought the woman was completely off her rocker til the woman pointed out a note attatched to the rose which read: This rose cannot compare to the beauty of the woman holding it. Until Tomorrow -Ryan She’d thought ‘He’s so romantic’, little did she know that it would stop there; she’d been getting flowers everywhere. A couple of the shops they’d stopped in, heck the gas station, and now lunch time. She was up to eight roses now, and happy as a clam about it. “Who knows, noone ever knows what Ryan has planned” Lorena said bringing her back to the present Laughing she said “This is true; let’s hurry up and finish, Lord only knows what will show up next.”
