| Chapter Five |
| Two days later Teresa's condition was the same. She'd gone through an ungodly amount of ice cream and she refused to wear anything but pajamas.Watching TV she simply stared at the screen and stuffed more Cookies and Cream into her mouth. A familiar movie-announcer voice came on, "Death and Desire will come to theaters in just 3 days! Starring the one, the only, and the now single Maxamillion!" Teresa pounded the remote into oblivion and the TV clicked off. She picked a magzine off the coffee table and launched it at the blank screen. The phone rang and Teresa ignored it, wondering why she had turned the ringer back on in the first place. She figured it was a nosy reporter but curiousity got the best of her so she look at the caller ID- Brown, Jason Picking up the phone, she mumbled a hello. "Put down the ice cream" Teresa shook her head and clutched her ice cream tighter as if J was going to magically appear and steal it from her, "Ice cream is my only one true love, it will never dump me!" J rolled his eyes, "I'm coming to get you" "What?" "See you in a minute" J said as he flipped his mobile shut and continue walking towards Teresa's flat. After Teresa stared at the phone for a moment she realized what J had meant and rushed to the door and locked it. She let out a sigh of relief and leaned her back against the door "Ahh..no J the counselor today" Not more than a second later she was knocked to the ground by the opening door behind her. J smiled at her,"J the conselor remembered his key today" He held up the key to show her. "I could've been hurt in that fall" Teresa replied as she got up off the floor, "I could sue" J laughed, "I'm glad you're not hurt because if you were, you wouldn't be able to come tonight." Teresa eyed him suspiciously, "Come to what?" "The premiere for our new album" "No, no, no, NO the last time I went to a premiere I was embarassed beyond belief. With my luck, you and the lads will officially disown me as friends." J put his arm on Teresa's shoulders, "I'm not going to disown you at the premiere" Teresa smiled up at him. "...I'd disown you on Top Of The Pops, better publicity" She backed out of his grasp and punched him in the arm "Not funny" He laughed as he rubbed his arm then asked, "So you'll come right?" She chewed her lip, "J..I don't know. I mean, the press will eat me alive" J made a pouty face, "Please? It would really help my ego. It'd help the album sales too, seeing big time actress Teresa Rae with little old pop group 5ive" Teresa rolled her eyes, "What a weak arguement." she sighed, "Alright, I'll go" "Great! I gotta jet back to my place to get ready, pick you up in an hour?" Teresa only groaned in response. After J left she put her beloved ice cream back in the freezer and went to shower. When J returned to Teresa's flat she was dressed for a premiere but not looking happy about it. Instead of a sparkling, baby blue dress she had on a long, black one. None the less, J took her by the arm, determined to make her see that she didn't need Max A. Million. Next Chapter ~> |
