“An elevator?!” AJ screeched attracting a few odd looks
    Cori shushed him guiding him in a quiet corner of the room “Shh. Can you talk louder? I don’t think the people in Japan heard you!” she hissed
     AJ smiled sheepishly “Sorry. But an elevator?!” he whispered harshly.
     “Yes! It’s perfect! I know Alex has this thing for sex in elevators and-“
     “Woah, woah woah.” She was interrupted by AJ outburst  “Alex has a thing for what?”
     Cori’s eyes got wide as she realized she had said too much. She tried to form words but didn’t really succeed. “Nothing. Back to the plan...” She answered quickly changing the subject but AJ wouldn’t let it go so easy
     “No, no, no. Did you just say Alex has a thing for SEX in an ELEVATOR?” he teased making Cori blush and kick herself mentally
     “Fine! Yes I said it. She told me one night! Happy?” she glared at him as he smiled slyly “Why does that scare me?” Cori asked shaking her head
     “Why did she tell you that?”
     “Because one night we were sharing our fantasies and-“ she stopped talking as she realized what she was saying. She glared at AJ, who was almost doubling over with laughter.
     “Oh my God, you’re sick! Will you help or not?” she asked trying once again to let go of her slip. AJ just wouldn’t let though it happen though.
     “Yeah, I’m helping. What do I need to do? I don’t mind having sex in an elevator if Brian backs out. Specially with Alex.” He grinned a far away look on his face
     “AJ!” she hissed slapping his shoulder lightly.
     He shook his head as to clear it and glared at Cori as if she’d interrupted something. “What?” he hissed turning to her.
     “My God, you’d think you’d gotten out of the hormone phase when you turned 20!” she mumbled under her breath looking around for any witnesses. No one seemed to have heard them.
     “Awe, Cori is jealous?” he teased leaning against the wall.
     “Oh yes AJ, I’d kill to have sex with you in an elevator!” she said making his eyes go wide.
     “Really?!”
    Cori laughed “Oh yeah! Anytime baby!” she rolled her eyes
    “You’re mean.” He pouted making her laugh
    “Oh, shut up. Back to where we started, the elevator.”
    “So, what is YOUR fantasy?” AJ asked completely ignoring what Cori had just said.
    “I don’t know you well enough to tell you.” she glared crossing her arms over her chest “Will you help me out here and no you won’t be having any sex.”
    AJ sighed “I guess. But an elevator?!” he asked not really fond of the idea.
    “Will you stop saying that? Okay, here’s the plan. We...”
    ---------
    “Understood?” Cori asked after 20 minutes of explaining what they were to do.
    AJ nodded slowly, as if trying not to forget anything.
    “Hey guys. Am I interrupting something?” Nick came over wriggling his eyebrows suggestively.
    “Aww Nick! I was just about to grab Cori’s booty!” AJ whined as Cori gasped and Nick broke down laughing.
    “You were not!” she protested
    “We’ll see.” he winked making a move to grab her ass. She moved behind Nick.
    “Freak.”
    “Okay guys. Cut it out. We’re all ready to go. Howie just finished his scene.” Nick said dropping his arm around Cori’s shoulders and walking away. She looked over her shoulder and put her tongue out to AJ, who was following right behind them. He rolled his eyes.
    “Don’t put that out unless you intend on using it on me.” He remarked running by them, lightly pinching her behind making her jump.
    “You jerk!” she screamed after him.
    He stopped and shook his butt at her, making her roll her eyes laughing.
    “You can use your tongue on me if you want.” Nick stated grinning down at her.
    She smiled sweetly at him “I would...” she said her hand moving down his back. He swallowed hard. “...but I don’t wanna be arrested.” She finished running ahead of him giggling.
    Nick’s mouth fell open as he glared “You’re like 2 years older than me!”
    “Still, I’m older, show some respect.”
    “I’ll show you respect.” He mumbled under his breath as they made their way outside where everyone was in the van.
    “What was that?” she raised her eyebrows climbing in the van, sitting beside AJ.
    “Nothing.” He smiled sweetly at her.
    “Why aren’t we moving yet?” Nick asked looking around the van.
    “We’re waiting on Alex.” Kevin answered as Cori’s eyes quickly made note of who was in the van.
    Nick was by the door, followed by her and AJ, Kevin had the seat in the back and Howie, Leigh and Brian were in the front. She did some quick thinking and got up startling AJ and Nick. She pulled AJ up, getting weird looks from everyone, including him
    “What are you doing?” he hissed as she pulled him off the bus.
    “We need to get Alex and Brian sitting together.” She said looking over her shoulder making sure no one heard her.
    “Gee, smart one. Don’t you think they’d notice if we just went up to them and yanked Leigh away from Brian?”
    Cori glared at him “You are so rude! I’m saying we need to be smooth! Like when we get there tell Brian they are asking for him out here... and I’ll go sit in his place, beside Leigh and make small chit chat. When he comes back he’ll be forced to sit beside you and tell Nick to move to the back seat, make something up, then when Lexy comes in the van she’ll be forced to sit by Brian!” she finished smiling victoriously.
AJ looked at her weirdly “You are one twisted person.”
    “One smart twisted person too. Now let’s go. Remember everything right?”
    He nodded heading for the van. They got in and Cori took her seat
    “Hey, rok. Someone wants to talk to you inside.” AJ commented as innocently as he could
    Brian looked at him confused “To me? What for?”
    AJ shrugged “Bang me if I know.”
    “Um, I’ll just go look.” Brian said getting out of the van.
    Cori took the chance and walked over to Leighanne
    “So Leighanne! I hear you’re an actress?” she asked sitting down
    Leighanne threw a look at AJ over her shoulder but smiled
    “Yes I am.”
    “That’s cool! Is it hard?”

    Meanwhile AJ had moved to Nick’s side, getting a weird look from him
    “What you want McLean?” Nick asked looking down at his bandmate
    “Can you do me a favor?”
    The blond shook his head
    “Nick!” AJ whined making him chuckle
    “I told you that was the last favor I’d do you and that got me in enough trouble.”
     “Oh come on. You made such a cute bimbo.”
     “Shut up Mclean!” he glared
     AJ laughed and continued “Really, with that skimpy red dress showing off your just shaved legs and that red lipstick and your hair in braids! You were MADE to be a woman. You’d have turned me on if you had a cleavage you know.”
     Nick growled “Fine! Just stop it, what the hell do you want?”
     “I want you to go sit with Kevin.”
     The blond looked strangely at him “Why?”
     “Because... because I need to talk privately with Lexy.”
     “Okay, what else?”
     “Nothing else.”
     “And why did you bug the hell out of me for only that?”
     “Because it’s fun!” AJ said messing Nick’s hair.
     “Whatever man.” He said pushing AJ’s hand away and getting up, moving to the back of the van.
    -----
     Brian came in the van and looked at his former place. He frowned slightly but sat down next to AJ all the same.
     “What’s up with that?” he nudged AJ nodding his head to where his girlfriend and Cori were talking.
     “They’re talking.” AJ stated the obvious
     “Wow, really? If you hadn’t told me I’d be completely lost!” Brian commented sarcastically making AJ roll his eyes.
     “You asked man. You asked.” He said stretching his legs as far as they would go.
     Lexy came in the van and met Brian’s eyes, quickly diverting her look. She looked around the van for a place, but sighing inwardly she realized the only one free was beside Brian. He also noticed this fact and his heart started doing mad flips as she sat down beside him, avoiding his eyes.
     “Can we go now?” Nick whined from the backseat
     The van started moving and they were on their way to the hotel. Brian looked at AJ who seemed to be lost in the passing scenarios. As discretely as possible he turned his head so only Alex could hear him
     “Lexy I-“
     “Hey Leigh. Are you stealing Cori from me?” she kidded interrupting Brian in mid-sentence
     Cori smiled over her shoulder. “Oh, yeah, Leigh is now my bestest friend in the whole world.” She said over dramatically hugging the blonde. Leighanne looked shocked and threw a help look in Brian’s direction making him laugh.
     “Cori, cut it out. You’re scaring Leigh.” Lexy said seriously as Cori let go of Leigh and pouted. Looking innocently at her side she asked
     “I’m not scaring you am I?”
     The blonde smiled sympathetically at her “Uh...”
     “Well fine!” she pouted crossing her arms over her chest. Leigh looked back asking for help as a sly smile appeared on Cori’s face.
     “Don’t worry Leighanne, I won’t hurt you.” She stated laughing. Leigh smiled at her, glad that no one was mad.
     After a few minutes everyone had gotten quiet again and Brian decided to try again.
     “Lexy, we need to talk.” He whispered in her ear. Alex turned her face, running her hand over her eyes. “You can’t continue ignoring me like that. You’re my best friend.” He whispered softly making her look at him. They found themselves a few inches apart from each other. Lexy stared at him, the look in his eyes anything but friendly.
     “Bri and Lexy, under a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.” Nick joked in a singsong voice, breaking the moment. Alex looked away as Brian looked over his shoulder laughing.
     “Man, that would be like kissing my sister!” he covered but as soon as he saw the hurt look on Lexy’s face. He kicked himself mentally. Way to go Littrell!
    ------------
    The rest of the trip to the hotel was like a flash and in 20 minutes they were all inside the lobby. The boys were signing autographs and chit chatting with the small bunch of fans in the lobby of the hotel. Cori excused herself, and disappeared to somewhere in the hotel.
    About half an hour she came back to the lobby. The guys were finishing signing autographs and Leighanne and Lexy were talking politely to some fans who had recognized them. Finally the bodyguards rushed the boys to the elevators. AJ threw Cori a look and she nodded discretely, smiling a little. They all got into one elevator. AJ smiled evilly.
    “Look Lexy! An elevator!” he yelled in her ear, grinning like an idiot. Cori’s eyes widened as she threw him a glare and Alex and everyone else looked at him as if he was insane.
    “Um, look AJ, a purse!” she yelled back showing him her purse, making them laugh and AJ roll his eyes.
Cori glared harder at him and pinched his side when no one was looking. He screeched lightly and glared at her.
    “What?” he hissed. She just shook her head and glared.
    He rolled his eyes leaning against the wall. She did the same thing as the other people in the elevator did their own things. Leigh was talking to Brian, who from time to time stole a glance at Lexy, who was staring straight ahead, to the closed doors. Kevin was talking to the bodyguard about something and Nick, well, Nick was just standing there.
    “Yanno.” AJ said making Cori look at him curiously “You’re kinda pretty when you’re not talking.” He smiled at her and again she glared.
    “What’s that supposed to mean?” she hissed. He shook his head bringing a finger to her lips.
    “Shh.”
    She glared and pushed his hand away, crossing her arms over her chest, staring ahead. He chuckled and leaned over.
    “But you know. You’re even more beautiful when you’re mad.” He whispered in her ear as the elevators door opened and he adjusted his backpack getting out and leaving her mouth hanging. She shook her head making her way out. She ran ahead and caught up with Lexy.
    “Hey girl. How about some drinks later?” she asked hopefully. Alex looked at her with a little smile.
    “Would you mind terribly if I passed it this time?”
    “Yes! I mean, you’re only here for a couple of days. Come on, we’ll only go to the lobby of the hotel. Please!” she begged with puppy dog eyes. Lexy sighed and gave in.
    “Alright. I guess we could.”
    Cori smiled as they continued chatting

    Meanwhile AJ was talking to Brian.

    “Hey man.”
    “Hey Bone. What’s up?” he asked opening the door to his and Leighanne’s suite. His girlfriend smiled goodbye and walked in, leaving AJ and Brian alone.
    “Wanna play some pool later?”
    “Sure. I’ll take a shower and lay down a little. Give me a call when you go.”
    “Sure. See ya.” He said high-fiving Brian and walking away with a smile on his face.

    -----

    Cori stood in Lexy’s bedroom going through her suitcase, while Lexy freshened up in the bathroom.
    *ring ring*
    She jumped on the bed picking up the extension.
    “Phone-sex $3.99 per minute. How can I do you?” she spoke into the phone hearing the other side laugh.
    “Oh, you can do me anyway you want baby.”
    She rolled her eyes “What do you want Mclean?”
    “Geesh, is that a way to treat your so to say partner in crime?” he faked hurt.
    “Whatever. Are we in?” she asked hopefully
    “We’re in.” He smiled at the other side of the phone
    “Yes! Okay, I’ll meet you downstairs in 20.” She said hanging up, quickly changing into a pair of baggy jeans and tummy T-shirt adorned with the writing Ms. Bitch to you!
    “Hey Lexy, I’m going out for a little bit. Be ready, I’ll call you when I get back!”
    “Okay!” she yelled from behind the closed bathroom door

    ----
    Downstairs

    Cori got out of the elevator and looked around for AJ. She didn’t spot him, but a sixth sense told her he would be in the middle of a pre-teen girls circle. She waited by a plant as he finished socializing with his fans. He walked up to her as the last girl left.
    “Hey beautiful.” He greeted giving her a hug as she smiled.
    “What’s up J? Ready for some action?”
    “As always. Did you set it all up with the engine guy?”
    Cori grinned, taking his hand pulling him to the reception “Yeah, I did. It’s funny to see what people will do for some green stuff.”
    “You’d be surprised.”
    “Hi. Could I use the phone?” Cori asked sweetly to the lady
    “Sure. Here you go.”
    “Thanks.” She dialed her room number, it rang 3 times before Alex picked it up.
    “Hello?”
    “Hey chica! What’s up? I’m waiting down here... let’s say.... come down in ten?”
    “Yeah, okay. See you then!”
    AJ took the phone from Cori and dialed Bri’s number
    “Yo, B-rok. Come down in ten, I’m waiting.”
     “Okay man. Let me go tell Leigh. See you then!”
     AJ looked at Cori with a smile.
     “Let the fun begin!” he said smiling big.
     “Yes, let the fun begin.” She replied giggling “Man, this is going to rock. Okay, I’m going to go to my position. Remember what you have to do right?”
     “Yeah! Piece of cake.”
     “Okay. See you in a few hon.” She said unconsciously reaching up and giving him a peck.
     AJ stood there not really knowing how to take that, as she walked away. He shook his head and waited for the phone to ring. Cori stopped briefly at the basement door and shook her head. Had she just done what she thought she had done? Shaking her head she went down the stairs.
     “Hey.” She was greeted by an older man.
     “Hi, is everything okay?”
     “Yeah, I set everything up. Here’s what you have to do.” He said showing her a mechanism. She nodded and thanked the guy as he made his way out.

    --- 10 minutes later
    Alex came out of her room and locked it, not noticing Brian standing behind her.
     “Hey.” He whispered making her jump
     “God, you scared me!” she hissed her hand on her chest.
     “Sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
     “I know. I... I have to go.” She said hurrying to the elevator. She pressed the button and waited.
    *********
    Cori’s head shot up as the green light went on showing that the elevator had been called. She checked the number of the floor. Yup, it was Lexy. She could only hope Brian was with her, if not, all their planning would have been in vain.
    ***********
    Brian walked up to stand beside Alex.
    “Going down?” he asked making small talk, his hands on his pockets, not looking at her.
    She sighed inwardly “Yeah.” She whispered her voice barely audible.
    “Me too.”
    “Cool.”
    “Lexy, I-“ Brian was once again interrupted as the elevators doors opened.
    “Look, it’s here.” She smiled pointing at the elevator.
    They walked in, and Lexy pressed the lobby button, leaning against the wall. She could feel Brian’s eyes on her but didn’t dare look up. Sighing in exasperation Brian broke the silence.
    “Okay, Alex. This is getting ridiculous. We need to talk.”
    “About?” she asked feigning confusion
    “You know what about! I want to talk about that with you but you keep running away whenever I try to start a conversation! I don’t want our friendship to be destroyed by one moment of stupidity!”
Alex turned to glare at him “Oh don’t worry Brian. Our friendship won’t be destroyed by one moment of STUPIDITY!” she snapped turning her back to him, tears shining in her eyes. She took a shaky breath as she felt him behind her.
    “That’s not what I meant Poo-bear.” He whispered in her ear, his voice soft, sending shivers down her spine. She felt his arms go around her waist as he buried his nose in her hair, loving the strawberry smell.
    “Brian... what are you doing?” she asked dizzy from his proximity
    **************
    Cori took notice of the elevator in between the sixth and fifth floor and pressed the button. She frowned when the engine made a big noise, but smiled as she saw the elevator had stopped. Now she could only pray Brian was with Lexy alone in that elevator and AJ would do his part alright.
    **************
    “I... I-“ Brian tried to find the words but none were coming.
    Suddenly the elevator screeched and came to a stop. Brian quickly removed his arms from around Lexy and jumped to the other side, waiting for the doors to open. He nervously glanced at Alex, then at the doors.
    Lexy was becoming restless, because the doors weren’t opening. “Shouldn’t these have opened already?”
“I think so.” Bri said cautiously approximating her. He looked up and sighed. They were somewhere in between the sixth and fifth floor.
    “I think it’s stopped Lexy.” He pointed at the indicator of floors. She shook her head and sighed.
    “I can’t believe this. Why do these things always happen to me?” she murmured covering her face with her hands, leaning against the wall.
    “Calm down Lexy. Here, we’ll use the emergency phone and they will come take us out as soon as possible.” Brian stated calmly opening the little red door with the phone.
    ****************
    AJ stood at the reception flirting harmlessly with the pretty girl behind the balcony. She smiled and excused herself to go help a client who was just checking in. He whistled looking around, boredom setting in. He began to worry if something had gone wrong since the phone still hadn’t rang. His worries were soon gone though when he heard the ring. An older man came to answer the phone, being interrupted by AJ.
    “I’ll get that.” He smiled at the man, who frowned
    “I’m sorry sir. I can’t let you do this.”
    “Please. Let me get that.” AJ smiled slipping a twenty into the man’s hand. The man smiled and nodded.
    “Of course this could get me into a lot of trouble.”
    AJ sighed and gave the man another twenty. The man smiled and left. AJ reached for the phone lowering his voice a few notches.
    “Yes?”
    ***********
    Brian listened to the phone ring for about 5 times before someone finally picked it up.
    “Yes?” a grave voice answered in the other side.
    “Hello, yes. I’m stuck in an elevator in between the sixth and fifth floor.”
    “I see. Is there anyone else with you?”
    “Yes, there’s another person here.”
    “What’s the person name?”
    Brian frowned at the weird question but answered anyway “Alexandra.”
    “I see. We’ll fix it as soon as possible. Is everyone okay there?”
    “Yeah, we’re okay. The lights are still on and all.”
    “Okay, sir. It’s probably some technical problem. We’ll fix it right away.”
    “Okay, thanks.” Brian sighed a she put the phone back on the hook.
    *************
    AJ smiled as he hang up the phone. Things were going just as planned. He discretely walked to the man who had let him answer the phone.
    “If that guy calls again, service is on its way, right?” he stated giving the man a fifty.
    “Of course Sir.”
    AJ smiled and nodded, waking away. He quickly went over to the basement where he was supposed to meet Cori.
    ***********
    Brian turned to Lexy who was looking at him curiously.
    “They are going to fix it as soon as possible.”
    She nodded and slid to the floor burying her face on her knees. Brian sighed and sat beside her.
    “Lexy baby.” He murmured taking her hand. “Look at me.” He whispered kissing her palm.
    “Brian.” She began but couldn’t go on as she looked in his begging blue eyes. She bit on her lip, looking away.
    “Lexy, what’s happening to us?”
    “What do you mean. Nothing’s happening to us.”
    "Lexy...”
    “No, Brian. Nothing’s happening to us. As you said, we can’t destroy our friendship over a moment of stupidity.” She whispered
    “What if it wasn’t a moment of stupidity?”
    “What?!” she quickly turned her head to look at him, finding herself only inches from his face, his hot breath on her cheeks.
     “Lexy... back at the studio, what happened? And don’t try to tell me it has nothing to do with my scene with Leighanne.”
    “It... it didn’t. I really dislike Britney Spears, you know that.” She whispered closing her eyes
    “You know it had nothing to do with Britney, Poo-bear.” he murmured caressing her cheek, his breath on her lips.
    “Brian, this is a mistake.”
    “Maybe.” He whispered back closing his lips over hers.
    **************
    AJ looked around for Cori, finding her sitting on a stool next to a control table.
    “Hey beautiful.” He whispered coming behind her, making her jump.
    “Fuck you! Must you try and give me a heart attack on a daily basis?”
    “Sorry.” He smiled sheepishly
    “Whatever. How did it go?”
    “Just dandy.” He said with a huge grin. Cori cracked up
    “Dandy?”
    “Shut up!” he joked pulling her up, sitting on the stool and pulling her on his lap.
    “I wonder how they’re doing.”
    **************
    Alex felt his warm lips on hers and sighed. They were so soft and inviting, any doubts she had went flying out the window. She kissed him back with just as much passion, tangling her fingers in the curls on his neck. His hand caressed her cheek as his tongue outlined her bottom lip, pushing into her mouth, nibbling on her tongue. He moaned and pulled her closer, making it so she was half laying on him.
She felt his hands on her back and came to her senses pushing him away and getting up.
    “Brian this is wrong.” She said straightening her shirt.
    Brian got up, licking his lips, wanting to taste her again, to hold her again, and to feel his body pressed to hers. He wanted her, but instead he just nodded.
    “You’re right.” He agreed.
    Lexy looked at him with hurt eyes and he smiled in the inside, knowing she needed him as much as he needed her. He felt guilty, of course. He had a wonderful girlfriend who had been through thick and thin with him, for him and he loved her, very much. He didn’t know why he felt like this about Lexy, he just knew he did and even though he knew it was wrong. It was cheating, something he promised himself he would never do. It felt right. It felt right how she seemed to fit in his arms, how she would smile at his lame jokes, how she smelt and it felt right how he would love to kiss her all over.
    She was his best friend, but somehow in someway a sexual tension had been released in between them and it was so strong he had trouble keeping his hands away from her. He wanted her, and when they were apart all the consequences screamed at him, but as soon as she came in the room, all he could do was feel. But she was too reluctant, she didn’t want to cheat on Leigh, she didn’t want to admit she wanted him as much. Brian could feel it though. The way she kissed him back, the way her lips moved along his, the way her tongue stroked his. He could feel as much lust and need in her kiss as he was feeling kissing her. He didn’t think it was love, but something was definitely going on between them, and Lexy would have to admit it sooner or later.
    He wouldn’t make anymore moves, he’d wait for her to. And he only prayed she really did need him as much as he needed her. He threw a glance her way, and sighed. She was staring straight ahead to the elevator’s doors.
    “What do you mean you’re right?” she whispered after a few minutes.
    “I mean you’re right. This is wrong, I love Leighanne.” He said shrugging.
    She glared at him “And what exactly does ‘this’ mean?”
    Brian gulped, biting on his lip. Damn, why did women have to look so cute when they’re mad.
    ***********
     AJ rested his chin on Cori’s shoulder and bit on his lip. His morals told him this was wrong and they shouldn’t bug into Lexy and Brian’s lives.
     “What’s wrong?” Cori asked sensing him tense up under her.
     “I... well, I’m not so sure about this Cor. I mean, sure they kissed, but is it worth risking Bri and Leigh’s relationship over what could have been a heat of the moment thing?”
     “Don’t worry about it J. I saw the look on Lexy’s face. You saw what she did when they were doing that kiss scene.” Cori shrugged.
     AJ sighed exasperatedly moving under Cori so she knew he wanted to get up.
     “What?” she asked as he got up and started pacing around.
     “Don’t you feel the least bit guilty? I mean we are playing with people’s lives for Christ’s sake! This is wrong wrong wrong!” he spit out
     “Of course I feel guilty! Do you have any idea how mad Alex would be if she ever found out I was doing this? I’m not a heartless bitch AJ!”
     “That’s all you’re worried about? Alex being mad at you? My God, don’t you ever think of anyone but yourself? What about her life? What about Brian and Leighanne? I don’t want to be the one to break all that up. Brian and Lexy’s friendship and Bri and Leigh’s relationship! I don’t wanna walk around with that burden!” he vented out, moving his arms frantically
     Cori stared at him, not knowing what to say. She was so mad at him right now she could just rip his hair off. The way he stared right back at her, nerved her and she just needed out of there.
     “Fuck that! You know what? You don’t want to do this? Fine! All this was wrong right? I am fucking sorry for wanting my friend to be happy! I’ll fucking let myself out!” she yelled out pressing the button, the machine again screeching showing the elevator started moving as she hurried up to the lobby.
     *************
     “This.. this means... I don’t really know. But it’s not right.” Brian stumbled over his words, playing with the hem of his shirt.
     Alex glared at him, but said nothing. She wanted him to kiss her again, God, did she regret to have pulled away from his luscious lips. But it was wrong, she kept telling herself. But... if it was wrong, why did it feel so good? So right? She shook her head.
     “What?” Brian asked from behind her.
     “Nothing.” She answered and heard Brian mumble something
     “What was that?” she asked turning around
     “Nothing... that’s all you ever tell me now. You know you can’t just pretend nothing happened! It happened two nights ago and it’s been happening since then! It just fucking happened here Lexy! Why the hell are you avoiding it?” Brian raised his voice
     “It was wrong! That’s why!”
     “Wrong?” Brian asked moving smoothly getting two inches from her face, making her back out until she was pressed against the wall.
     He bent his head, holding her arms over her head, burying his face on the crook of her neck.
     “Brian...” Lexy gasped out at the feel of his tongue on her neck.
     “Wrong Lexy?” he whispered facing her. “Don’t tell me this is fucking wrong! Don’t tell me you didn’t feel the way I did when I kissed you. Don’t try and tell me you didn’t feel weak on the knees and wanted more when we pulled apart! Yes, I worry about the consequences but I can’t just fucking ignore this! If you look into my eyes and tell me you don’t want to kiss me, to feel me once more, I’ll let you go and we’ll just forget about this.” He hissed in her face, his breath hitting her cheeks making it hard for her to think straight.
    He gently pulled back, letting go of her arms, which fell to her side. He looked demandingly at her. She took a deep breath and looked into his blue eyes, which were dark.
    “Brian I don’t... I...” she stumbled over her words not being able to say it, the look in his eyes full of desire. Hell, she wanted it and she hated herself for it, but being this close to Brian, the only thing she could think of was kissing him, touching him, have him touch her.
    “I thought so.” He whispered leaning in to kiss her
    Her eyes fluttered closed slowly as his breath came nearer and nearer her lips. Her hands automatically moved to his shoulder and she could almost taste his lips. *SCREECH* The elevator hissed and started moving, breaking the moment and making the two friends jump apart. Brian looked over at Lexy, as she looked at her shoes, biting on her lip. She shyly stole a glance at Brian, but quickly looked away when she saw him watching her. The elevator finally stopped and the doors opened, Lexy was quick to make her way out, not giving Brian the chance to stop her.
    Brian sighed and hit his head repeatedly against the elevator wall. He noticed an old woman looking strangely at him and stopped, smiling sheepishly at her and hitting his floor button. For some reason he didn’t feel like playing pool anymore.
