He smiles at her and Cia returns the smile. It happened so fast, and he didn't see it coming. "You know what I can't believe?" Johnny says as he stops at a red light and turns his head to look at Cia. "If Ash hadn't just turned on her heel and left the building." "Was that the speech you had figured out for this intervention thing Rosita had planned when she heard they're back together?" If it is what she wants, I'm fine with it." "I still can't believe they got back together." Ash doesn't go to his gigs and he doesn't come to her concerts. "Are they really keeping work and private life separated?" Might be on his way to rehearsals with his band." Ash mentioned he has gigs at a bar around here every Wednesday. They drive for a few moments in silence, until Cia speaks up. But still, she can be challenging sometimes." "I thought she's changed for the better?" Crawly at the office I'd rather spend the evening with you alone." "Great!" Something in her voice tells him that she's smiling. "Hey, wanna go get a pizza after work?" he changes the topic. Maybe he should tell her now that his father wants to meet her, but somehow, it doesn't feel right. He and Cia share a quick kiss before he starts the engine and drives away. He returns the smile, then he walks the last few steps to his car and climbs inside. Suddenly she looks up and the moment she sets eyes on him, she smiles. She hasn't discovered him yet as she's looking at her phone, and he takes a moment to look at her a little longer. The rest, too, but he doesn't want to admit that.Īs he walks up to his truck, he looks at the animal in the passenger seat. He's just … well … scared? Confused? Still trying to figure things out? He doesn't want to push Cia to do something she maybe isn't ready for yet.Īnd it might have to do with the fact that he isn't sure if he is ready to take the next step yet.

It's not that he doesn't want to take the next step, it's just that he doesn't know how to do that.

Ten weeks - yes, he knows it's been ten weeks because he keeps count on that, but it still feels like this amazing kiss on stage has just happened yesterday - and they haven't done much more than making out. Okay, they haven't reached many levels yet. It's true, he and Cia really haven't reached the parents-meeting-level yet. On his way back to his truck, Johnny keeps thinking about how to bring the whole meeting his dad-thing up. Luckily, his father takes the bait and starts telling him about what has happened in prison lately. He makes a mental note to give Ash a call later. Her first album has been topping the charts for weeks. But he needs to start working on more songs soon. He's still sticking to the song he turned Cia's poem into and he is still amazed by how far he's gotten with that. If you can call only having one song done good, that is. "And how's that album of yours coming along?" But you'll talk to her about it, right? 'Cause I'd really like to meet her." ".reached the parents-meeting-level yet." His father rolls his eyes. "So?" his father asks all of a sudden, and Johnny realizes that some moments in silence have passed. Yes, he has to stay in prison a bit longer than the other gang members because he broke out once, but still, it could be worse. But he forgets sometimes what this means for his father. Not that he could ever forget that his father is in prison. It reminds Johnny of his father's situation. "I don't have much else to do around here." "I didn't know you were keeping count," Johnny replies with a twist of his mouth. "It's been ten weeks," his father replies. We have only been dating for a couple of weeks." "I … uhm … I don't think we have reached the parents-meeting-level yet.

"You know, it'll take a while with all the paperwork and such." To his surprise his father asks, "When do I get to meet her?" He taps against the class separating them. His father looks at him for a moment, and he wears that smirk on his face, so Johnny expects another comment on Cia being the not-that-kind-of-girl-kind of girl. "The boys are still making comments on you having your first girlfriend," his father goes on. Although Ash tried, maybe, but he isn't sure about that. They all could have given him a hint, though. Mike telling them they could go back to being lovey-dovey. He has to admit, after their kiss, so many things suddenly made sense. I bet everyone knew, except for her maybe."

"No," his father replies, followed by a laugh. "And would you please stop calling her that?" "So how's the not-that-kind-of-girl-kind of girl doing?" his father asks, and Johnny rolls his eyes.
