Amber sat in the living room staring at the large fish tank. She became envious of the fish, they were in such a closed enviroment but they were so free to do whatever they wanted. The grind of the day was really starting to get to Amber, everyday was the same, get up put on the designer clothes, get in the expensive car drive, go to school hang out with all the top class people, then collect the money from Daddy. Amber cuddled up to the pillows, she was wearing a pair of navy jogging pants and a pink tee that had Babydoll written on it in magenta, her hair was pulled up into a loose ponytail. She continued to look around the room for something to confind in, something to comfort her. She rested her head down on her knees, she closed her eyes and imagined she was in a world where everyone was equal, as much as Amber wanted that world to be real it was never happening for her.

    Amber was broken from her thoughts by the doorbell ringing, she looked up to see Alanha come out of the kitchen and headed to the door. Amber turned on the couch to face the door, she heard Alanha open the door and converse quietly with someone then she came back into the room.

    "Ms.Banks you have a visitor,"said Alanha. Amber got up off the couch curiously and walked to the door, she stopped in her tracks as she seen AJ standing there looking at the floor. She could sense Alanha was standing behind her curious to know who he was. Amber had never thought he'd actually show up, oh my god I hope he's not here to rob us or something thought Amber. The thought was quickly erased as he looked up at her and he had a childish sense to him.

    "Hi,"stumbled Amber trying to find something to say.

    "Hi,"said AJ.

    "Amber mind your manners,"demanded Alanha loosing patients.

    "Oh, I'm sorry. Alanha, this is AJ McLean, AJ Alanha, my cook and part time nanny,"said Amber,"AJ and I are working on a school project. "

    "Nice to meet you AJ, I'll leave you too,"said Alanha satified. Amber looked over as Alanha left the room leaving the two of them there very awkwardly. Amber hadn't a clue what to say, oh god I'm really begining to hate Ms.Walsh, thought Amber.

    "Um, my books are up in my room. Uh we can go up there,"said Amber nervously fearing being in a room, especially her bedroom with AJ. AJ nodded and looked straight at her. Amber went to turn but stopped and turned back to AJ.

    "Um, you're not allowed wearing shoes on the carpets,"said Amber,"You can put them next to the door." AJ quickly pulled off his old torn runners and dropped them next to the door. Amber turned and lead him up the stairs to her room. When they got to her room AJ stood in the door way looking around, it wasn't as fancy or posh as he'd expected but it wasn't anything to sneer at it either. Amber grabbed her binder that was next to the computer monitor on he desk, she unzipped it and pulled her notes from it.

    "Nice house Barbie,"said AJ sitting on her bed. Amber turned to look at AJ, he looked so appealing sitting on her bed in his torn dirty jean and white tee shirt.

    "Um I don't mean to sound rude or offensive, but are you really here to work on the project?"asked Amber.

    "Yeah, that teacher conned me into it,"said AJ. Oh well remind me to thank Ms.Walsh so much thought Amber sarcastically. She grabbed her desk chair and pulled it over to the bed.

    "The project is about the human body, so I mainly just took notes on the basics,"said Amber. She sorted through her notes until a comment AJ softly muttered caught her attention.

    "I'd like to take notes about the basics of your human body,"uttered AJ softly. Amber looked up and was unaware if AJ could tell she heard, he hid all emotion behind his glasses. Amber bit her lip and looked off to the side.

    "Are you going to give me the damn things?"asked AJ. Amber broke from her trance and looked at AJ like he'd asked the stupidest question in the world, then looked down at the papers she held then handed them over to him. She couldn't really tell if he was reading them or just staring aimlessly at them. God I'd wish he's just take off those stupid glasses, what the hell does he need them for anyways? We're inside thought Amber. Amber got a little bored sitting there doing nothing, she reached over and grabbed a book on the human organs from her desk. She started reading where she left off, everytime she flipped a page she could feel AJ's eyes come up to her. Amber ignored him and contiuned reading, twenty minutes later they were in the same position. A knock at the door caught book their attentions, Alanha stuck her head in the door then full came into the room.

    "Dinner is ready,"said Alanha.

    "Uh I gotta go,"said AJ getting up.

    "No, Mr.McLean I have set a place at the table for you. Anyways Ms.banks may enjoy the company she usually eats dinner alone,"said Alanha,"And I suggest it would not be a healthy choice to insult me by leaving Mr.McLean." AJ nodded and walked with Amber from the room and down to the dinning room. The room was dimly lit from the lights above and the large black table was set for two with two pasta bowls full of pasta sitting on the table. Amber took her usual seat as AJ took the next one. Alanha seen them to their seats then disappeared back into the kitchen. Amber opened her napkin and set it in her lap, she picked up her fork and poked a piece of pasta with it. She looked up at AJ as she chewed, he was looking down at it trying to figure something out.

    "What am I eating Barbie?"asked AJ.

    "Cheese Toritellini,"said Amber,"It's good try it." AJ cautiously took a bite and chewed, he nodded and started eating faster. Amber looked over at him and smiled, he looked like he hadn't eaten in ages. He didn't ever noticed her smiling so lovingly at him, he was so concentrated on his food. Amber went back to eating herself, she was a quarter through her bowl when Alanha came back in.

    "Well Mr.McLean you sure devoured that fast,"said Alanha smiling.

    "That's the best damn meal I've ever had,"said AJ.

    "Care for another helpping?"asked Alanha happy she found a fan of her cooking.

    "Oh no jokin', I'd kill for some,"said AJ.

    "All right, I'll be back in a moment,"said Alanha picking up his bowl. Amber looked up at him from her bowl and seen him, she'd never seen someone so excited for a meal. Then a harsh reality hit her, he probably didn't eat every night. She had no idea what happened in foster homes or in the social serives system but she knew it wasn't a nice place to be. Amber grinned and went back to her serving as Alanha came back out with a overfilled bowl for AJ. He looked at it in marvoule before attacking it with his fork. Amber slowly picked her way through the rest of her dinner, when she was done Alanha took both her's and AJ's plates away. AJ sat back looking more relaxed and content, Amber smiled.

    "I'll be back in a minute,"said Amber quickly before dissaapearing from the room. She came back with an ash tray and a pack of cigarettes.

    "No, no,no,"scolded Alanha coming back into the room,"We go through this every day Ms.Banks if you want to have a death stick, then you kill yourself outside."

    "Alanha, it's rain out,"whinned Amber.

    "I don't care, you now have a well feed, good looking boy here to keep you warm,"said Alanha before leaving. Amber sighed and looked over at AJ.

    "I'm going out back, you can come,"said Amber as AJ stood up. The both of them quickly walked down the hall and through the family room. Amber flipped open the lock on the sliding glass door and opened it, she walked out on to a large veranda. Ignoring the cold wet wood under her, Amber walked out bare foot. She walked over to the patio table that was covered by the umbrella and sat on the edge of it. AJ leaned up against the table as Amber lit her cigarette, she handed him her lighter so he could light his own.

    "So Barbie does have a fault,"said AJ.

    "What? Why do you keep calling me Barbie?"asked Amber.

    "Look at you, dream house, the convertable, blond hair and the perfect body. What more do you need?"said AJ.

    "That's awfully rude, how would you feel if I ran calling you G.I. Joe?"asked Amber,"I'm sure you'd be pretty upset."

    "Actually no, I don't care what people call me. My whole life doesn't revolve around what other people think of me,"said AJ. Amber there realizing he was informing her that her life did mainly revolve around around what people thought of her, and he was right.

    "Well I don't care,"said Amber a little unsure of her words,"Call me Barbie for all I care."

    "Fine then Barbie,"said AJ shrugging. Amber looked down at her cigarette and took a puff.

    "Do you even know my real name?"asked Amber.

    "Amber Lynn Banks,"said AJ.

    "How did you know my middle name?"asked Amber nobody except Alexa and her parents knew her full name.

    "It's on that corkboard in your room,"said AJ.

    "Observive,"commented Amber,"Can I ask you a question?"

    "Ya just did,"said AJ smirking.

    "You know what I mean,"said Amber.

    "Okay, yeah shoot me,"said AJ.

    "Why don't you pursue something in school, get a proper education?"asked Amber softly,"Not to be rude."

    "What did you piss someone off really bad or soemthing with your questions once?"asked AJ,"What's with this not to be rude?"

    "I dunno, I'm curious about things and I don't want people to think I'm being cruel to them when I have good intentions,"said Amber shrugging her shoulders.

    "I can't tell ya why,"said AJ shaking his head,"Guess a ton of stuff."

    "Was it like friends or something?"asked Amber. AJ had been asked that question a million times and usually he'd flip off who ever asked it then walked out, but Amber she was different. AJ could tell she just wanted to know for personal sake, she wasn't going to go full out with trying to get him help and stuff.

    "I guess,"said AJ taking a deep breathe,"First it just started with smoking weed and getting drunk, it seemed more important than school. Then I played a game of it, getting switched from foster homes, new schools, beating the hell out of someone."

    "Do you still smoke weed?"asked Amber.

    "No, I get drunk but the weed, that's just grade eight and nine stuff,"said AJ. Amber nodded, she was unfamilar to these grounds. Her friends and her smoked and drank occasionally but they stayed away from the drugs.

    "What makes school so important to you?"asked AJ. Amber was taking a little off guard by the question, the usual answer to the question was 'because my parents make me'.

    "I want to be come a lawyer like my dad,"said Amber,"I guess I'm one of those Daddy's girls, who wants to be the apple of his eye." AJ was silent and looked down, the conversation was so awkward. Both of them were from different worlds, different people but still a bit of education flowed between them. They both finished their cigarettes and butted them out in the ash tray, Amber followed AJ in and left the ash tray in the kitchen.

    "Um, do you have a bathroom around here somewhere?"asked AJ.

    "Oh yeah, the one upstairs is the only one that works right now,"said Amber,"Upstairs and to your left, it's the second door." AJ nodded and walked back up the stairs that he once went up to go to Amber's room. Amber slowly followed him up the stairs except Amber went to her room, she put her notes back in her binder and pushed her chair back to her desk. She sat on the edge of her bed and looked out the window, the rain slowly splattered on the window pain. Looking down at her lap Amber heard a noise from behind her, Amber turned her head to see AJ staring at her.

    "You can come in,"said Amber,"I don't bite." AJ slowly walked back into the room and took a seat on the bed, he could smell Amber, she smelt like rain and perfume. AJ loved the way she smelled, always like a lady. Not like the girls he knew, she smelt good, took care of her body and was caring.

    "You have a nice house,"said AJ,"I don't think I've ever been in a house this big before." Amber had no idea to respond, no one had ever said that to her before.

    "Um thank you,"said Amber,"Um, if you don't mind me asking how old are you?"

    "Seventeen,"said AJ.

    "So am I,"said Amber.

    "Then how do you buy smokes?"asked AJ.

    "An ex-boyfriend of mine, his older brother buys them for us,"said Amber. AJ nodded.

    "I'm sorry if I seem to be prying into your private life, it's just you're mysterious. Nobody at school really knows you,"said Amber.

    "It's cool, I don't mind talking about my life. You're about the only person who had never held it against me,"said AJ.

    "Really?"asked Amber,"I don't think there's anything bad there."

    "Care if I ask you a few questions Barbie?"asked AJ. Amber seemed a bit surprised by the question, he wants to know about my life? thought Amber.

    "Sure,"said Amber.

    "You as happy as you look?"asked AJ.

    "Pardon?"asked Amber.

    "Are you as happy as you look?"repeated AJ,"Ya always hear about the rich girl who's unhappy cause she has everything handed to her on a silver platter, I think it's B.S. cause hell if someone wanted to hand me shit on my beck and call I'd have no complaints."

    "Yeah I'm happy, not as happy as I'd like to be, but I'm happy nothing here to complain of,"said Amber.

    "Yeah why aren't you happy?"asked AJ.

    "I dunno, I guess because I'm getting older and I don't want to. I miss my mom's stuff she use to do for me when I was younger,"said Amber.

    "Why is your mom dead?"asked AJ.

    "No, she lives in Japan. She's a model. But when I was younger she use to read me bed time stories and pick me up from school, now I never see her unless it's Christmas or something,"said Amber,"I'm about the only person who would kill to be five years old again."

    "I dunno if that would be such a bad thing,"said AJ,"Maybe do things over."

    "True,"noddedAmber.

    "So are your parents seperated?"asked AJ.

    "Divorced, my dad remarried,"said Amber,"I get along with Myra fine, she's a little weird sometimes."

    "Well ya seem to be pretty normal,"said AJ.

    "What?"asked Amber looking at him with an interested look on his face.

    "Seems most rich people are crackers take the clothes and make up off you could pass for a poor girl."said AJ.

    "Well geesh, I don't know if to take that as a compilment or an insult,"said Amber.

    "No that's just a thing. If I told you that I thought you were beautiful now that would be a compilment,"said AJ.

    "Oh okay,"nodded Amber not sure if he was telling her she was beautiful or just using it as an example. Oh god he's confusing, thought Amber desperately. Amber looked next to him and down at her lap trying to avoid his stare incase he was compilmenting her. Before she could look up she felt his fingers under her chin, he guided it up then met it with his lips softly pressing on hers. Amber slowly closed her eyes as she felt the warmness of his lips, Amber slipped her arms around his neck. AJ rested his hands on her hips, he slowly met her lips with his tongue, to his surprise she opened up to let him in. Amber felt AJ's soft tongue run through her mouth, she felt something she never had before. When she usually kissed guys she could allow her mind to wander and she always thought about the next step after that, but not with AJ. All she could think about was how she wanted him so badly, she left her right hand run down his arm, she was surprised to find he had strong, muscular arms and
suddenly Amber had an ugre to be wrapped in them. Amber pulled herself closer to him forcing AJ to move his arms around her, a sense of warmness and safety came over her. AJ pulled back slowly still tasting her lip gloss on his lips, Amber raised her eyes to his. She noticed he still had on his glasses, Amber reached up and gentily pulled his glasses off. Then she seen them, his enchanting eyes. Amber found herself almost lost in them, the brown in them sparkled as he looked at her.

    "You have beautiful eyes,"said Amber. AJ smiled sheepishly as he looked down at his lap, she looked at him and seen him blushing slightly.

    "Are you blushing?"asked Amber.

    "No,"said AJ defensivly shooting his head up.

    "You are so,"smiled Amber warmly,"God, it's nothing to deny, I would kill to have eyes like those." AJ looked her straight in the eye, Amber could slowly see his brick walls falling around him. Amber had hit a cord, she was getting through to him without ever meaning it. AJ reluctantly took his arms away from Amber, Amber wanted to grab his arms and make him keep them around her. Amber pulled herself more onto the bed then laided down behind AJ.

    "What aren't you going to yell at me that your boyfriend is gonna kill me or something?"asked AJ looking down at her. Amber shook her head.

    "I don't have a boyfriend," AJ raised an eyebrow to her.

    "Are you sure?"asked AJ.

    "That's not really something you forget,"said Amber. AJ nodded.

    "Are you okay?"asked Amber. AJ nodded again. Amber sat up and took his chin in her hand gingerly.

    "Are you sure?"

    "Yeah, I'm just a little, a little. I'm thinking,"said AJ.

    "Okay,"nodded Amber.

    "I got my eyes from my mom,"said AJ as Amber laid down again.

    "She must of been beautiful,"said Amber.

    "I suppose so, I never really seen her like, I guess like you,"said AJ,"All dressed up and stuff. My mom was an alcoholic."

    "Oh, that must be hard,"said Amber. AJ looked down at her, most people, actually everyone he told that to said how sorry they were and gave him their unwanted sympathy, Amber was different, he could tell she cared but she didn't make him feel like just another case.

    "Yeah, I didn't really know her. I was taken away when I was five,"said AJ,"And since then I've been shipped to almost every foster home in the province."

    "What about your father?"asked Amber,"Did you ever know him?"

    "Some guy named Robert, my social worker has offered to find him but what the hell is he going to do for me?"asked AJ,"Basically I get shoved around this system for one more year then I'm finally on my own."

    "Do you know what your going to do?"asked Amber.

    "Get the hell out of here,"said AJ,"Maybe go down to Vegas. Do something easy like strip or something."

    "Stripping is not easy,"said Amber smirking.

    "How hard is it to take all your clothes off?"asked AJ.

    "Trust me, it's hard,"said Amber.

    "How would you know?"asked AJ.

    "I was at a party and this guy stole my car keys and he told me the only way to get them back was to strip for him. In the end I was up on a poker table trying to find the courage to take my top off in front of a buncha strangers,"said Amber.

    "Did ya do it?"asked AJ.

    "I got my top off and the guy passed out from drinking so I got them back,"said Amber.

    "Well if you need something desperatly enough you'll do anything for it,"said AJ.

    "I guess,"shrugged Amber,"But I bet you can't do it."

    "Can so,"said AJ.

    "Fine then dance,"Amber grabbed her remote off the nightstand and hit the play button, Touch It from Monifah came out of the speakers.

    "What?"asked AJ like she was crazy.

    "Hey you'll have to do it in a year,"said Amber,"If you can't do it for me, you can't do it in front of a room of drunk women."

    "I can do it,"said AJ standing up. Amber could tell he was totally nervous as he stood up in front of her, he took a few moments then started swaying his hips. If he makes it, I'd make the drive down to Vegas to see him thought Amber. She watched as he self conciously whipped his shirt over his head, she fought down laughter by keeping her eyes concentrated on his well toned body. Amber noticed several purple scars in various areas of his body.

    "See I can do it,"said AJ.

    "No, anyone can take their shirt off,"said Amber pushing for more. AJ sighed and sat down.

    "Like you could do any better," Amber looked over at him sitting up, well I've got an open door thought Amber. She scouted over and straddled his lap so she came eye level with him, she pulled her top up over her head and let AJ get an eyeful in before she pressed her lips against his. AJ was caught off guard by her actions and was shocked a bit. Amber slowly moved her kiss from his mouth down to AJ's neck. AJ wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him, Amber felt the warm skin of his stomach against hers as she continued to maul him with her mouth. Amber decided to have some fun, make AJ remember her forever, she pushed him back on to the bed and she started kissing down his chest, she reached down and brushed her hand over his croutch. She could feel him harden through the material of his jeans, Amber smiled wickedly as she slowly undid the button of his jeans and unzipped them. At this point Amber was licking around the top of his boxers teasing  him.

    "Please,"pleaded AJ,"Please." Amber hated to see a man beg, she carefully slid down his boxers along with his jeans to reveal his stiff cock. Amber marvouled over his size, something went right along the way thought Amber as she ran her tongue up his length. AJ moaned as he felt her on him, Amber took his tip in her mouth and sucked softly on it. AJ grabbed on to her comforter, he would've grabbed her hair but he was took afraid to hurt her. Slowly Amber inched her way down until she had all of him in her mouth, she pulled back a few inches and felt AJ buck up forcing himself back into her mouth. Amber reached up and took his balls into her hand and slowly rolled them, she could tell AJ was having a good time because all you could hear was him moaning and muttering Amber's name. Amber kept swirling her tongue around him and sucking hard on him until she felt him buck up again and moan, finally his warm cum came shooting into her mouth. Amber kept it in her mouth and reached over and grabbed a disguarded cup on her nightstand. She spit the liquid into the cup and gentily wiped her lips off.

    AJ's chest was heaving up and down as he looked up at the ceiling, he slowly sat up and looked Amber in the eye. Before she could say anything she felt his lips on hers pushing her down to the pillows, Amber arched her back up as AJ quickly unhooked her bra. Amber slipped her arms out of it and threw it to the floor. She engaged in another passionate kiss with AJ, his hands were cupping her breasts lightly rolling her nipples. Amber moaned into his mouth as her nipples began to harden, she ran her hands through his hair, she could feel the hairs on his neck sticking up as he brought his mouth down to her left nipple.

    AJ ran his tongue around her nipple and began to suck on it. Amber moaned as she ran a hand down AJ's back, AJ pulled his lips from around her nipple and lightly kissed it before moving to the other side and continuing the same procedure as Amber ran her nails light up his back. Amber pulled AJ back up to her and kissed him letting her tongue explore every aspect of his mouth. She felt his hands run down her sides and slowly push her jogging pants down. Amber getting a little annoyed with his slow ways reached down and the left side down and wiggled her way out of them. AJ pulled away from the kiss and looked Amber over, he seemed to savor every inch then he looked at Amber with worried eyes.

    "Is everything okay?"asked Amber.

    "Have you done this before?"asked AJ.

    "You haven't?"asked Amber running her fingers down his chest.

    "Would it be a crime?"whispered AJ.

    "No,"said Amber shaking her head.

    "Don't we need protection?"asked AJ.

    "Oh yeah,"said Amber. She reached over to her night table and opened the drawer, she reached in and pulled out a foil package. She quickly ripped it open and took the latex out, she reached down and slowly rolled it over AJ's hard cock. She watched as AJ carefully leaned on his elbows and slowly slipped the tip of him in to Amber. It took him a few seconds to get use to it then he slowly slipped the rest of him into Amber. Amber moaned as he completely filled her, then instincts took over and AJ pulled himself out and thrust back in, he kept watching not wanting to hurt Amber, but he could tell she was full of pleasure. Amber's hand snaked up AJ's arm to his hand and lasped fingers with him as she raised her hips to meet his thrusts. AJ soon and quickly got use to it and found his own pleasure pumping in out of her faster. Amber's moans were filling his ears as he softly grunted with each thrust. Finally he felt Amber's walls tighten around him and hold him in, then he leaned down and groaned into Amber's shoulder as he ejaculated. He dropped down lightly on Amber and sighed as he felt her breathing heavily under him, he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close. Amber kissed him softly on the cheek.

    "Are you leaving me?"asked Amber.

    "Not if you don't want me to,"said AJ.

    "Then stay, stay the night,"said Amber softly.

    "Okay,"whispered AJ pushing a strand of hair away from her face. AJ leaned down and Amber met him for a passionate kiss. Amber felt herself let go, she felt something inside she hadn't felt for a long time, something really positive. They parted slowly and AJ rolled off to the right side.

    "I'll be back,"whispered Amber. She quickly got off the bed and walked over to the door, she reached down and locked the door. She walked back over to the bed and carefully slipped under the covers and watched as AJ did the same, she snuggled up to him as AJ wrapped his arms around her and held her close. Amber closed her eyes and imagined that was what heaven was like, remind me to thank Ms.Walsh thought Amber. Amber slowly dosed off to sleep gripped on to his arm as if he were to leave her any moment. AJ looked down at the girl in his arms, things had changed and they were never going to be the same. AJ sighed and leaned down and kissed Amber's hair before falling asleep himself.
