(Autumn POV)
I look at Tre.
"Tre, I am still unsure of what I am going to do. I know I don't have much time left but it seems when I decide what I am going to do, something enters my mind and changes it." I had a tear fall from my face. "I am just so confused. My heart says one thing and my brain says another." I look at Tre now in full tears.
(Tre POV)
I feel really bad for Autumn I can tell this is tearing her apart.
"I have learned in the past to go with what my heart says. It's hard, I know, because you have that doubt in your mind but your heart knows what's best for you." I tell her as we are walking up and down the hallway. "I mean it is all up to you and I can't tell you what to do, but go with your heart." We are back at mine and Ajs room and I take out the card "I know I probably didn't help you at all, and I'm sorry, but it really is all your decision. Know that I will back you up, no matter what, ok?"
I tell her and she smiles
"Thanks Tre"
she says and then turns and goes to her room across the hall.
"Anytime girly, you know I do my best"
I say and smile and head into the room. I see that AJ sure didn't miss me much, he took over the bed!! I roll my eyes and groan
"Great now I gotta try to move him over"
I get undressed and go to try to move AJ out of the way
(Autumn POV)
I slowly walk back to the room and think once agian about what Tre told me. Nice to know she will stand by me no matter what. I get back to the room and as I close the door I hear Howie.
"What are you doing up?"
I grin. "I got thirsty and didn't want room service to wake you up. How come you slept in the chair?"
Howie sat up. "Well, you were just out of it and I didn't want to wake you up or accidently it your hand."
"Thanks. Here. you look tired. How about you take the bed now and I take the chair?"
"No it's okay."
I sat and tried to get my Sprite open but had a struggle. Howie sat and watched me, probably getting a good laugh. I finally gave up.
"Howie, could you please open this for me?"
He got up from the chair and came over to me and opened the drink. I thanked him then asked him to sit down beside me.
(Tre POV)
I am getting frustrated because every time I think I have AJ moved, he rolls over again!!
"Come on AJ move over baby"
I say out loud but does he wake up NOOOOOO of course not. I try some more but to no avail. I am about to give up when I think of something and grin I look down at AJ.
'should I?' I think to myself.
'Oh hell ya girl your tired and have a big move ahead of you' I answer myself.
'Ok this is getting scary, not only am I talking to myself I am answering myself..'
'ahh don't worry we won't talk long, I am only here because you are tired'
'gee ya think?' I answer sarcastically to myself.
"ok, now I am frightened. I gotta get some sleep"
I bend down and get close to AJ's ear
"Hey AJ. They are opening a McDonalds on the main floor of this hotel and the quarter pound hamburgers are on sale" I whisper.
I just get to move away when he suddenly sits straight up in bed. I try to stifle a laugh but can't so I let it go and just bust up laughing. He looks at me strangely
"Tre what is going on? why are you up? and why in the hell do I have McDonalds quarter pound hamburgers on my mind?"
He asks me and I start laughing harder. He just looks at me and lays back down waiting for me to stop. After a few minutes I do and tell him that I was thirsty and got a pop and then talked to Autumn for a few because she was also up getting a drink. He smiles
"I tell ya, you two sure do work on the same brain wave sometimes"
I laugh and lay down beside him (hehe)
"Yep we do. I'm going to sleep now. Night Alex"
He looks at me surprised I used his name but smiles.
"Night Tre baby"
and I once again settle into his arms.
(Autumn POV)
Howie and I sat on the bed talking and cutting up. We had the tv on and "Untitled" by D Angelo played. Howie asked me if I wanted to dance with him and I said yes. As we danced, I began to listen to my heart. Halfway through the song I looked up at Howie. About that time, a strand of my hair feel onto my face. We stopped dancing and Howie slowly puled it back and we were looking deep into each others eyes and begin to kiss.
(Tre POV)
I cuddle closer to Aj and close my eyes, only to find myself unable to sleep.
'oh great. I can't sleep' I think
'Oh are you back again? I thought you left'
'No, I didn't.'
'well duh thats obvious. why didn't you?'
'because you haven't fallen asleep yet'
'oh geesh now I am arguing with myself'
I shake my head and my little bit of movement wakes up AJ.
"Something wrong Tre?"
I look up at him amazed
"Oh sure NOW a little bit of moving around wakes you up." I say sarcastically.
I see confusion enter his brown eyes and I feel bad.
"Sorry Alex, I didn't mean to snap. 'Tho I think I already have' I'm tired and now I can't seem to get to sleep"
I tell him and move to where I have my upper part of my body on his chest and I'm looking into his eyes. I see the confusion leaves and mischief enter
"Oh really? Can't sleep huh?"
He asks and I smile and shake my head no
"Well I guess I'll have to help you out in that department."
He tells me and I laugh.
"Ohhh yay your gonna be a sweet heart and sing me a lullaby"
I say as he turns me over to where I am now on my back
"Well a lullabye isn't exactly what I had in mind. I can guarantee tho, that after we're done, we'll both be singing" I smile at this and he kisses me.
(Autumn POV)
Howie and I are still kissing (yes we stop for air) and he is watching out for my hand.
"Howie, can I ask you something?"
"Sure Autumn."
I take my good hand and put it in Howie's.
"Is that invite to Florida still open because I would really, really love to go."
When I ask this, Howie's face and eyes light up.
"Autumn, baby, yes it is."
I finally caved in and listened to my heart. Howie and I began kissing again and turned the tv off, alone in the dark.
"Howie, be careful of my hand."
I heard him laugh.
"Autumn, I'll be gentle with you," he said as we laid back on the bed.
(Tre POV)
When AJ and I are done I can't help but smile. I mean I have AJ, I'm moving to Florida, I haven't been this happy in a long time and them annoying little voices have stopped talking to me!!
"So you ready to go to sleep now baby?"
Aj asks me while yawning and I laugh
"Yea hun you did what you said you would, you helped me get tired enough to fall asleep"
"good. Night sweetie"
He says while putting his arm around me.
"Alex?" I ask all of a sudden.
"Yea baby?" I smile
'he's not going to like this'
'OH SHUT UP AND GO AWAY'
"Will you sing to me?" I ask in a whisper while looking at him.
His eyes pop open and look at me
"Are you serious?"
"Yes"
He sighs and pulls me in closer and starts to sing 'Yes I Will' and I can't believe how beautiful his voice is even when he's tired, tho he is tired for a good reason. I don't know why he picked that song, but I'm very happy he did and I settle in once again to fall asleep in AJ's arms.
(Autumn POV)
I wake up before Howie, lying in his arms. I lay still and begin to study his face. Then I think about how I will like Florida. As I continue to look at Howie, he opens his eyes.
"Good morning" I say.
Howie grins. "If I didn't know better, I'd say you were putting a hex on me while I was asleep."
"Well, it was a love hex. "
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. The first girl you wake up looking at you will want to kiss immediatley."
Howie gets the hint and kisses me.
"Say, you up for something different today?"
Howie gives me this look I can't help but to laugh at.
"What would that be?"
"How about instead of AJ and Tre coming down here, we go get them up?"
Howie looked at me.
"You know, you really can show those horns when you want."
I smile and make an angel face. We get dressed and get our hair fixed and head towards AJ and Tre's room.
(Tre POV)
We are peacefully sleeping when a banging starts and wakes us up. I look at AJ and he shrugs his shoulders, well as good as he can while laying down and then we both close our eyes again. The knocking continues, the person seeming to get impatient.
"Tre are you going to get that?"
AJ asks me in a sleepy voice. I sigh and look at him
"Since when did I become door person?" I ask him.
His eyes pop open when he hears the tone of my voice and he gets up and grabs his boxers and pants and starts putting them on on his way to the door. I roll over while mumbling
"Don't hurt yourself Alex"
"haha funny Tre"
"Yea I thought so"
I reply back trying to fall back to sleep. AJ opens the door and I hear
"Oh uhh hey Howie and Autumn" putting stress on the 'Howie and Autumn' part.
I grumble and grab my clothes that were lying on the floor on my side. I get my clothes on just as they are making their way into the room
"Hey Tre"
they both say and I grumble a "goodmorning" to them and head for the bathroom. I hear all 3 laugh and Autumn says
"Oh yea, I forgot she's not one who enjoys mornings"
"No kidding" Aj replys to her and they laugh once again.
'oh great the comedians are out today'
I think to myself, I am about to reply when I put my hands on my head 'oh don't EVEN go there again'.
I brush my teeth and hair and walk back out.
(Autumn POV)
I laugh at Tre. I know she isn't a morning person and AJ doesn't look like he is either. AJ goes over to a mirror, combs his hair and puts on the trademark sunglasses.
"So Autumn, how's the hand?" AJ ask.
"It's sore, but hey what do you expect. Other than that is it fine."
I hear water run and assume tre will be a while. I set and turn the tv on while AJ searches for a cap. Tre comes out.
"Good morning Tre,"
I say just to see her make a face at me.
(Tre POV)
I stick my tongue out at Autumn and she laughs. I go over to where Aj is and wrap my arms around him from behind
"I'm sorry Alex."
I tell him and he turns to look at me
"For?"
"For getting all huffy when they were knocking on the door" I tell him.
He smiles and pulls me in for a hug and a kiss
"It's ok babe, don't worry about it. I'm not one for mornings either" He tells me and I laugh.
I turn around and for the first time since they have entered the room look at Howie and Autumn. I notice they both seem extremely happy and at this I am overjoyed but also very curious. I look at Autumn flippin through the channels and I look at Howie who is looking at Autumn who is flipping through the channels.
"Ok, what's going on?" I ask them but looking at Autumn.
She looks at me with a innocent look on her face
"What do you mean, Tre?"
I roll my eyes
"Oh don't give me the innocent act girly, I've known you too long. Somethings up...talk"
I say to her and she laughs and gets up and walks over to Howie.
"Well..." She starts
(Autumn POV)
I look at Howie and start laughing.
"Well what?" Tre says.
"Tre, I listened to you advice and I am more than proud to say you will be seeing a lot of me in Florida."
"No way!" Tre says.
"Way!"
Tre comes over and hugs me.
"Watch her hand," Aj says.
Tre turns around.
"I saw her hand. I wouldn't hit it. I might be bad, but I am not that bad."
Howie gets a kick out of that. I turn and look at AJ.
"AJ, you know, if I hang out with Tre that means you will be seeing me too. And that means that one day we will have to dye our hair together."
I look over at Tre and tell her not a word. She laughs.
(Tre POV)
I laugh and give her my word I won't say a thing. Aj looks confused but that is ok. Wait until Autumn and I are hanging out together all the time...he aint seen nothing yet!!
"OHH I am soo excited Autumn. We're both moving to Florida and with the men of our dreams"
I tell her out on the balcony. We moved out there because the guys got a call and we didn't want to interupt.
"Oh so am I girl. I can't believe I was confused on what to do." Autumn says to me.
"Well come on girl. You have met the two guys you have had the hots for for a long time and they both showed a interest in you. The decision you had to make was hard, but it was one you had to make. I think you made the right one" I tell her grinning.
She laughs at me "I know you do Tre, I know"
We sit around and talk for about 5 more minutes when the guys come out
"Hey girls. I know we had planned on doing something before we had to catch the plane but it looks like we have to leave for Florida now" Howie tells us.
We look at each other and we both have grins from ear to ear on our faces.
"Ok, I'll just go get my stuff packed."
"Yea me too" Autumn says.
We walk into the room with the guys following us. I walk over to my suitcase and Autumn walks over to the door.
"See ya in a few Autumn" I say before she walks out.
"Yep"
She says walking out with Howie behind her.
AJ and I are packing and when we get done he looks at me and I can see something is troubling him.
"What's wrong Alex?" I ask.
He walks over to me and takes my hands
"I'm sorry we can't go and do anything before we leave Tre. It's just that business came up"
I smile and lead him over to the bed and we sit down.
"It's alright Alex, really. I have to get used to it anyway, right? I mean being with you is going to mean a crazy life and schedule" I say to him
"Yes that is what it means, among other things. Can you handle it?" He asks me.
I look down at our hands entwined together and smile
"Yes I can Alex. I don't wanna be without you, ever. I will learn how to handle the craziness of the fans and anything else that comes along the way. I promise you"
I make the promise to him and he smiles and puts his hands on my face and kisses me
"Thank you Tre, I know I asked you that before, but before we left I had to make sure."
"I understand Alex"
He smiles and we get up
"Well I guess we better go"
We grab our suitcases and look around to make sure we have everything and walk out.
