Faith Outside, Heartache Beneath

~*~Chapter Five~*~

"Now, you guys take care of her." Aunt Jackie lectured the boys as we all loaded up on the bus to leave. I didn't wanna leave Aunt Jackie and Uncle Harold, but I knew that I was in for a great time with the guys. Danielle, Angela, and Layla had already told me tons of stories. The bus was gonna be so crowded with all nine of us, plus AJ's mom and the driver. So, what's that? Eleven people and twelve bunks. I was so excited.

We finished saying goodbye and we were off. It was early, so everyone decided to get a litte more sleep. I crawled into a bunk at the end of the bus hoping that it wasn't already taken. "Mind if I join you?" I heard AJ behind me. I didn't turn over, but I felt him slide in the bunk next to me. AJ wrapped his strong arms around my waist and held me.

"AJ, what are the guys gonna think?" I asked turning over.

"Come on, baby. Angela and Nick are like, doing it in Nick's bunk." I looked at AJ funny. "Okay, they're not 'doing it', but there in the same bunk. Don't worry. It's all good." He kissed my nose and sent a chill down my spine. When he pulled away our eyes locked.

"I love it when this happens." I smiled.

"Me too." He whispered as he drew himself nearer to me. His lips brushed mine, and I felt his breath on my face. I slowly closed my eyes when our lips locked.

"Bone, your mom wants you." Brian poked his head in the bunk interupting us.

"Damn! I give up." AJ pulled away and headed to the front of the bus. I got out too, and went and sat in the back to watch some tv with Kevin and Danielle.

"Wait, Carlon." Brian stopped me.

"Yeah." I turned around, almost knocked over by the moving of the bus. Brian grabbed my arm to hold me up.

"You and AJ are getting awfully close, aren't you?"

"What do you mean?" I was getting confused.

"I mean...that kiss." He pointed to my bunk. "That was intense."

"Brian, he's my boyfriend. We're supposed to kiss." I smiled.

"Carlon, just understand that AJ is a man, and he has needs that you might not be ready to fulfill."

"I know that, Brian. I've thought about that. I'm not going to do anything stupid." I assured him.

"Alright." Brian hugged me. "Sorry for interupting you two."

"We're stopping at McDonald's in ten minutes." AJ announced.

"Not again." I heard Howie complain from his bunk. Brian walked to the back leaving me and AJ standing there.

"Alone again?" AJ questioned. "Nope." Nick pushed his way through us and crawled in next to Angela.

"I quit." AJ threw his arms in the air and led me to the back where Brian, Kevin, and Danielle were.
