A Gift For Two Chapter 4

Mean while in the living room AJ and Joy were still talking. "So do you have a boyfriend?" AJ suddenly asked. Joy looked shocked. "Why?" "I don't know.. so do you?" AJ asked again. "No.. I'm too busy with school and no guy could ever meet my dad's standards," Joy looked down. AJ looked at her. He knew that she probably have never dated much. "She's a good girl," he thought. "How about you?" Joy asked back. "Me? Well, I'm always away on tour or something. So I really don't have time. And no girl would put up with my hectic schedule," AJ chuckled a little. "Oh. I'm sorry to hear. But you know what? I would be able to put up with it. And I'm pretty sure that there's a lot of girls out there who will," Joy tried to give him hop. "Really?" "Of course, as long as I know he loves me, that's enough." she played with her fingers.

AJ liked her, She was everything he's been looking for. She didn't expect much from a relationship, he liked that in her. Though they were opposites, but he was attracted to her. "Umm... maybe you should go change now before you get sick," Joy stood up and started walking. "Yeah," AJ followed her to a closet where she pulled out two robes and handed one to AJ. "The bathroom's over there," she pointed down the halls. "Okay," AJ started walking down the halls and passed by a room with the lights on.

"Hey, Nick.. You should changed out of those wet clothes," AJ peaked his head inside the room. "Into What?" Nick asked . He and Marie were playing video games and his eyes were glued to the TV screen. "A robe! Come on!" AJ threw the robe at Nick. "Okay.. wait here Marie... and no cheating!" he looked at Marie. "Don't worry," Marie assured him. "I can still win you without having to cheat,"

AJ and Nick walked to the bathroom and changed out of their wet clothes and into the robes.
After they finished changing, Nick went back to Marie's room and continue playing video game with her.
AJ walked back into the living room and found Joy asleep on the couch. She looked so peaceful and tired. AJ found a blanket at the end of the couch and put it over her. He looked at the table and found her watch. He picked it up and looked at it. He felt bad, because of them that her watch was broken. He put it into his jeans pocket and slept on the other couch.

The next morning AJ woke up early and went up stairs to wake Nick up. He found Nick asleep on the bed next to Marie. They didn't share the same blankets though, they each had their own.

"They must have fallen asleep playing video games," AJ laughed at the sight. The two remote controls were still at the end of the bed. "Nick...Nick..c'mon," AJ shook Nick a little, making sure that he doesn't wake Marie up. Nick opened his eyes, "What is it?" "We have to leave before Kevin realize that we were missing last night, He would kill us or his lectures would kill us," AJ whispered.

At that Nick got up and they got their clothes and changed. It was still a little damp, but they had to wear that. Before leaving, AJ left a note for Joy while Nick left one for Marie.

"Joy, I'll take you out tonight. Be ready by 7:00, I'll show you what it's all about in Orlando. I'll pick you up.--- AJ."

"Marie, it was fun playing games last night. I'll show you around town if you want. Call me: 482-9201.--- Nick."
