I wonder who the man is. I loved the banter when he was offering her a ride.

A.J.'s CAR
Oh god, Melanie thought. Killer smile. Don’t get attracted. Don’t get attached. He’s a stranger and he’s just giving you a ride. Don’t fall for another set of dimples beneath mischievously gleaming hazel eyes, ash brown hair, and a physique that fills out an Italian suit in a way that only a few men can.
“I was volunteering too. Social work,” he said.
Going. Going. Gone. Too late. She was already falling fast.
Rebound. Rebound. Rebound. The alarms went off in Melanie’s head but she chose to ignore them. After all, it had been months. Months and months and months since her marriage ended. She had a silly dalliance with a boy named Dario, a misguided flirtation with an older brother figure named Brady, and she had briefly contemplated going after Abigail’s boyfriend, but decided her friendship with Abby was more important. Now she yearned for a grown-up relationship. Intimacy. Pillow talk. Weekend plans. Dinners out. Dancing. Househunting. Intimacy. “Didn’t I already say that?”
“I believe you did,” he said. “And I guess that makes us both nice people.”
“Huh?” Melanie wondered if he read her thoughts.
“Volunteering, I mean.”
Melanie watched him use the stick shift to smoothly transition from one gear to the next, making the car respond to his gentle, yet obviously experienced touch. She couldn’t believe that this was turning her on, but it was. Big time. “Maybe it just means we feel guilty.”
“Come again?”
Oh god. Why did he have to use that expression? “Sometimes people who do good things, like volunteering, are trying to make up for doing bad things,” she clarified.
“You see the world pretty cynically, don’t you?”
“Am I being insulted?” Melanie wondered out loud.
“No. Not at all. You just seem to look at things like there’s always an ulterior motive.”
“Don’t judge a book by its cover. I may look young and innocent, but I’m not.” Did that sound like a proposition?
“Are you trying to seduce me?”
“What? No, of course not,” Melanie tried to sound indignant. “Well, maybe,” she mumbled. He smiled again and Melanie practically swooned. “What’s your name, Social Worker Man?”
“A.J. What’s yours?”
“Melanie.”
“Nice to meet you, Melanie. Would you like to have a drink with me some time?”
“Some time? How about now? I mean … if you’re not busy.”
A.J. smiled and pulled the car into a nearby parking lot.
To be continued …

AJ I don't remember, but is that not one of Justin and Adreanne ( spelling) boys? I am getting worried that they are going for drinks so soon. Just love the way that the two of them interact. Thanks Kpatch.

The only A I can think of is Andrew as in Donovan.. Don't know his middle name. I don't remember Justin & Adrienne's other boys names.

The killer dimples definitely reveal another Kiriakis...
AJ was a construction company. Justin had a son named Alexander with a woman named Anjelica. Justin and Adrienne have three other sons: Victor, Joesph, and Jackson (Sonny).

OOO Yay a story about my all time favorite FEMALE Days character. I can't wait to get caught up on your tale about Melanie.
I have taken many a ride with a hot stranger...Melanie will get home safe, and if she has any luck, maybe she will get his number. This is Salem after all.

THE CHART HOUSE
They went into the Chart House and ordered drinks at the hotel bar. They sat on the same side of the booth, making it much easier for Melanie to play with A.J.’s tie and run her fingers up and down his lapel at the appropriate moments. Melanie took her cues and touched A.J. at every opportunity. Soon she was fingering his hands and touching his face. She couldn’t believe she was being so forward. She thought she was out of practice, but not unlike riding a bike ….
“So,” A.J. finally said. “Are you ready to dispense with the foreplay and get a room?”
Melanie rubbed her lips together and tried to appear coy but it was useless. “Let’s do it,” she said, pleased with the double entendre.
They went to the front desk and A.J. signed the register.
The clerk asked, “Are you here for an affair, Mr. ---“
“You could say that.”
Melanie burst out laughing, slightly tipsy after drinking two gin and tonics. The clerk handed A.J. the room key card.
“No luggage?”
A.J. shook his head and took Melanie’s hand. They found the room and A.J. swiped the key card through the reader in one authoritative stroke. Melanie was so hot for this guy, she thought she was going to faint. Once inside, A.J. closed the door and grasped Melanie’s arm pulling her toward him. He leaned over and kissed her lips as she ran her hands up his suit jacket, grabbed the lapels and started pulling it off of him. A.J. dropped the jacket and walked Melanie to the bed, never losing contact with her lips until she was flat on her back. He unbuttoned each little pearl button on her blouse as if he were unwrapping a gift. Melanie closed her eyes and thought she was going to have an orgasm before he even touched her. She impatiently wriggled out of her skirt as he left his shirt behind revealing a smooth, well-toned torso that she couldn’t resist. She kissed his chest and urged his body atop hers. Looking into her eyes, he brushed back her bangs with his hand.
“Can I give you a ride?” he asked flirtatiously.
Melanie laughed. “You can take me … wherever you’re going.”
His lips descended on hers before moving to her neck and her shoulders and her collarbone. His hungry hands ran up and down her body from her shoulders to her thighs and everywhere in between. Intimacy, she thought. Finally.
