Kevin sat up against his bed, his knees to his chest, one arm wrapped around them and his other hand held the remote control to the hotel's cable television. He was channell surfing and couldn't concentrate. He had only been sitting there for five minutes and he couldn't get comfortable. His mind was still on earlier, with Trinity. He felt...wrong in some way. He kept trying to make excuses for her effect on him. She's too young for me, 7 years younger, when I was 17 she was only 10. She's arrogant, she's...she's...he knew he couldn't think of anything. The only excuse he could come up with was the age thing. It killed him to keep his cool when he was around her. He wanted to touch her, hold her, look into her eyes, and it drove him crazy.
There was defintely something between them, he knew. He had felt it when he first laid eyes on her. The closer he got to her the more his hunger for her grew. He knew he couldn't keep making excuses. He liked her. There, he admited it. Now what are you gonna do about it? He wondered. Go talk to her, ask her to go somewhere with you. Get to know her, that sounds like a good start. He looked at the clock. It read 12:15 and he figured she was asleep. He figured it be better talking to her tommorow.

Trinity dizzily walked to the chair that her robe lay on and snatched it up her eyes only half open. She pulled it over her, only getting one arm through and half of the robe covering her. She went over to the door and unlocked it, and opened it slightly, peeking out. "Hey Trin, up to watch some movies?" She was surprised to see A.J., holding up rented movies, and microwave popcorn, with a huge smile on his face. He didn't look tired at all. "Dammit A.J., I was about to sleep..." Trinity mumbled out, leaning her head against the door frame. "Oh, well that's ok, I can go watch them with Howie if you want. Sorry I bothered you." A.J. said, and Trinity could tell he was trying to hide his hurt. Great, now she had guilt. "No, A.J. its okay. I'm just...I was just...resting. We can watch one I suppose." Trinity said, opening the door all the way allowing him to enter.
He grinned at his victory. "I guess you were tired..." A.J. said, pointedly looking at her robe. She looked down at herself seeing one end of the bottom of her robe stuck in her underwear. "Yeah...just...if you want to make the popcorn pop it into the microwave over there, and I'll put a movie in." Trinity told him, adjusting the robe the best she could, and taking the movies from his hands. "Uh...*Meatballs*, *Blade*, and *Never been kissed.* Um okay, we'll watch Meatballs I guess." She lazily trudged over to the VCR, and could barely tell what buttons were what. After a five minute struggle she eventually had the movie in and set. "Nothing like Bill Murray 30 years ago to make this evening anymore joyous for me." Trinity mumbled to herself, scratching her head and flopping back down on her bed. "Damn bed, made of stupid water." She grumbled, attempting to make her way to the headboard, so she could sit up. Who would have thought getting to the top of her bed would be such an obstacle. She crawled under her covers just as soon as A.J. finished with the popcorn.
"Got any room in there for me?" A.J. said. She just nodded, scooting over, patting the spot next to her. He happily sat down, making the bed move up and down, and that wasn't cool. A.J. didn't seem to notice at all, and just picked up the control, pressing play. She could feel her eyes closing and she knew she wouldn't be awake much longer. "Popcorn?" A.J. asked her, holding it out to her. She just shook her head, lying down, putting her head on the pillow peeking out at the T.V. He shrugged, adjusting himself more and even before the beginning credits came on, she was fast asleep.

Trinity stirred, twisting around in her covers as she felt something on her nose. She didn't open her eyes and just flicked it away, turning around. She could have sworn she heard snickering. She felt the same thing on her nose again and turned away burying her face into her pillow. Suddenly, she felt a hand smack her flat on the ass, and she jumped nearly 3 feet off the bed. "What the-?!?!?" Trinity gasped out, looking around the room only to spot Howie and A.J. above her, a feather in their hands. They were laughing hysterically, holding onto each other for support. "Ok...ok...now...which one of ya'll smack my booty?" Trinity said, with a Chris Rock thing goin on in her voice. Crossing her arms and pointing at either of 'em. They both pointed at each other and started laughing harder. She just looked at them, and sat up. "Well I assume you came in here to wake me up and well, you succeeded. So I think-" She stopped herself when she looked at the alarm clock and saw it was 5:00 a.m. She gasped, they were supposed to take off for Germany in 30 minutes! "Oh my god, why didn't you guys wake me up sooner? We're gonna be late and miss our flight!" She jumped out of bed, zooming to her suitcase, yanking out clothes. "I don't even have time to take a shower!"
"Trin, hey girl. Calm down." A.J. said, him and Howie approaching her. "Yeah, it turns out we're not leaving for another hour or two. There are bad storms off the east coast, and they delayed the plane schedules." Howie told her. Trinity let out a sigh of relief, plopping down into the wooden desk chair. "Thank god. I was about to have a heart attack." A.J. smirked, and Howie grinned. Remembering last night, Trinity looked up at A.J. "What time did you leave last night A.J.? I'm really sorry I fell asleep during the movie. I was really tired." She apologized. Howie started laughing at the question. She looked at him questionably, and he was patting A.J. on the back who was looking down at his feet., a small smile on his face. "Our man A.J. fell asleep here. I walked in this morning to find him curled up in a ball next to you." A.J. kept looking at his feet, and Trinity couldn't help but grin. "No way." She said, with a chuckle. "That's so cute!" Man, your certainly losing the masculine side to you thats for sure. Trinity told herself. Maybe she could just think of it as this was Trinity Edwards attitude. She never realized she had her own person to play around with. She could make up anything she wanted.
She liked that idea. "Ok, once A.J. stops blushing and your dressed do you wanna join us all downstairs for breakfest?" Howie asked her. "Of course, just let me take a shower." She said, grabbing clothes and making her way into the bathroom. "You guys can wait in here if you want." "Nah, we're going to Nick's room to go over some new songs Kevin and Brian wrote a couple weeks ago. To decide if we want to do something with them." A.J. told her. "Okay, I'll meet you guys there than." They nodded and walked out. She breathed a sigh of relief, and walked into the bathroom closing the door.
