L.A.

Adventure

*Tre POV*

We get up and start to walk back to the guys. I know what I would love to tell Autumn, to stay in Florida, but it's not my place to say. She has to decide for herself.

"Hey guys u feel like doing something else now?" I ask them and they both look at me

"Like what?" Fred asks.

"Hmmm bowling?"

I say and AJ grins

"I think bowling sounds fun."

He looks at Fred and Autumn. They are both shaking their head so it is decided. AJ calls up Marcus and has him call a local place and tell them we are coming.

We gather our stuff and head to our separate cars.

"Well see ya there, ok?" Aj yells to them

"Yea alright man." Fred says and him and Autumn take off.

We get in the car and pull out of the lot

"Is everything ok?" he asks me.

"Yea things are fine. I think Autumn is a little confused about things." I tell him.

"OH, I see. Second thought?"

"Yea somewhat. I told her things will work out for the best and what ever is supposed to happen will. I really didn't know what else to tell her."

I tell him and he smiles at me

"You did what you could baby, you can't make the decision for her."

"I know." "Don't you EVER get tired of hearing us?"

I look at him shocked

"Of course not. Besides I only listen for one voice." I tell him smiling.

He looks over at me quickly and I can see him grinning

"OH yea, and who's voice is that?" He asks me.

I smile

"Nicks"

Fred ask if we can head back to his place so he can change and I say sure, as long as we stop back at the hotel so I can change. He nods. It is quiet, except the radio playing. Fred seems to be thinking about something while he drives. We get back to his place and he runs in to change while I wait in the car.

I sit out there and hear Eminem's "My Name Is" come on the radio and start singing/rapping along with the song and Fred comes out.

"Sorry about that. I had someone to call."

I stop singing. "It's all good."

Fred drives and gets a kick out of me singing with Eminem. We get to the hotel and I don't see AJ's rental. I run up to my room and change into some hip huggers and a shirt that has the intials LB on it.

As I come out, I spot Marcus and he asks if he can ride with us because he wants to bowl with us. I begin to think that Tre might not like this, but I can't say no. I am afraid of Marcus to be honest. Marcus and I go out and I ask Fred if Marcus can ride with us. Fred agrees and we head to the bowling alley.

*Tre POV*

"WHAT!!?"

AJ yells when he hears me say Nick and I start laughing. I also think it is a good thing we are now stopped at a red light.

"I'm playing baby, really. Your voice is the only one I listen for"

I tell him and scoot over and kiss him on the cheek. He looks at me

"Ok, you had me scared there for a minute"

I laugh "Oh now come on. I love your voice. I mean Nick has a great voice but there is just something soooo darn sexy about yours"

I tell him and I get a smile out of him

"Ok, much much better." He says to me and we laugh.

"You know Alex, I'm in my bathing suit can we go to the motel and change first?"

"Uhh, yea sure that sounds like a plan."

"Ok, great thanks"

"No problem baby."

We get to the motel and we don't see Freds ride. We get upstairs and change. I put on a cute short outfit Aj bought me and he throws on a pair of baggy jeans and a shirt to show off his tats and of course he still has his shades.

"I know you don't like this babe but I gotta see if Marcus wants to come along, ok?"

He tells me as I go and get my ring out of the drawer I put it in when we went to the beach. I am not happy about it but I know AJ shouldn't be running around LA without his bodyguard

"Ok Alex"

We head to his room. Aj knocks but there is no answer.

"Hmm he must be out or something. Well lets take off then I'm not waiting around for him"

He takes my hand and we head back out to the car and take off.

We get ot the bowling alley and see Freds car. We park and head into the place and find Autumn and Fred.

"Hey guys. You been waiting long?" I ask them.

"Nope not really" Autumn answers me.

I was about to say something when Marcus walks up to us

"Hey AJ" He says to him and ignores me

'whatever' I think to myself

"Oh hey marcus, I was wondering where you were."

"Yea well I ran into Fred and Autumn and asked if I could go along."

"Oh ok, cool. Hey baby I'm going to go get our lane, ok?" He says to me.

"Yep" "Ok, be right back"

"I'll be here" I say to him and laugh

"Well I sure hope you are"

"Always hun"

I tell him and smile and he walks off. I look at Autumn and she is acting like she is gagging and I smack her on the arm. Then I look at Marcus and he's rolling his eyes.

'Great this is gonna be fun'

I think to myself as I sit down and start getting my shoes on

*Autumn POV*

I know that Tre isn't too happy with Marcus, but I am hoping that they can get along for one evening. I begin to wonder if he knows about AJ and Tre being engaged. Fred excuses himself to go talk to AJ.

"Nice outfit Tre," I say.

"Thanks." She looks at my shirt. "LB huh?" she starts laughing. "Wearing that shirt for a reason?"

"Well, yeah. I doubt people want to see me in just my bra. Well, Fred might disagree with that."

Tre rolls her eyes and the guys come back over and join us. AJ sends Marcus out to get his cell phone and Fred ask Marcus to get his.

Any time I bowl, I get nervous even though I love bowling. I alwaysget paranoid about guys watching me. But oh well.

"So we going to start this or not?" Fred asks

*Tre POV*

I don't love to bowl, like AJ does, but I have gotten a lot better at it since him and I have gotten together.

We get our teams together, like THATs hard to figure out and start to bowl.

Autumn is up first for her and Fred and I know how nervous she gets about guys watching her so I try to distract them by talking to them

"So Fred, when is the next cd coming out?"

I ask him and he is about to answer me but Marcus shoves his hand between him and I

"Here's your cell, Fred"

He says to him and I glare at him. Fred sees this and he just looks at me

"Uhh, thanks Marcus"

Marcus smiles at him

"No problem man"

Then walks over to AJ to hand him his. I roll my eyes

"What's that about, Tre?" Fred asks me.

"Oh he thinks that for the past 2 and a half years I've been using AJ and that I don't really love him blah blah. You know the usual."

I tell him with anger in my voice as I watch Marcus and AJ joking around.

Autumn has already bowled and it's my turn so I go and grab my ball and bowl my turn. As I turn to walk back to sit down I see AJ on the phone not looking to happy.

'damn what now?'

I think to myself and sit down next to Autumn while Fred goes up for his turn

*Autumn POV*

I really hope that I wasn't being watched. I bowled okay. I look over and see AJ on his cell and I can tell Tre isn't too happy either.

"So you going to give me a good luck kiss baby," Fred ask me.

"Yeah." Fred and I are lip locked when we hear Tre say

"Fred, sometime today."

First roll is a gutter ball. Tre laughs.

"I thought you wanted a good luck kiss, not a jinx." she says joking.

I look at her and laugh. Fred then rolls a strike.

"HA!" I say back to her.

She sticks her tongue out at me. I look over and see AJ is off the phone and making his way over to join us. Just then, Fred's phone rings. He walks to another area to take the call. I am thinking to myself

'Please don't say that was one of the guys who called'.

*Tre POV*

I watch as AJ makes his way over to us and I can tell by the look on his face...he's not happy.

"Alex, what's wrong?"

I ask him when he sits down next to me and sighs

"Well..it seems Kevin didn't trust me to make our reservations back to Florida, he made them for us, for tonight"

I just sit there and look at him letting what he said sink in

"Tonight?" I ask him.

"Yea, tonight"

I look over at Autumn and I can see she is worried since she wasn't exactly prepared to have to make her decision or whatever this soon.

"Well wasn't that nice of him" I say getting angry.

"I know baby, I'm sorry. I tried fighting with him but there was no way to win this one. They didn't think I would come back tomorrow like I said. I told them I would but since they called the airlines they knew I hadn't made reservations yet so they were very happy they made them for me"

I look over at Marcus and he is smiling and that pisses me off more and I stand up and walk off to the bathroom not stopping when I hear AJ call my name

*Autumn POV*

Before AJ can say 'I think', I get up and go to the bathroom.

"Tre?"

Silence until I hear her say

"Yeah?"

I begin to think of what to say.

"Look, I'm sorry about what Kevin done and how you and AJ can't have fun anymore. I'm also sorry about Marcus. Maybe AJ should talk to Jive and the guys when he gets back and maybe you and Marcus should try to get along. I know that is easier said than done, but you two will have to get along unless he wants to lose his job. And if you need to vent or whatever, I'm here for ya."

Tre comes out of the stall and washes her face. She looks up and hugs me.

"Thanks girly."

"Hey, you'd do the same for me."

Now that her problem is halfway solved, I have my own to worry about.

"Come on... let's go finish our game up. Fred and I are so stomping you and AJ."

*Tre POV*

We walk back out and AJ sees me and meets us before we get there.

"Hi sweetie"

He says to me and I can tell he feels really bad about what has happened.

Autumn continues walking to where Fred is.

"Hi Alex. Look, I'm sorry. I shouldn't of walked off like that, I just got really frustrated."

I tell him and he pulls me in and gives me a hug

"I know baby and I understand trust me. I'm sorry it happened this way."

"Not your fault. What time does the flight leave?" I ask him.

He looks at his watch

"Well it's 6:00 now and our flight leaves at 10:00, so we got about 3 hours before we gotta get to the airport."

Sighing I take his hand and we walk over to the lane our game was at

"Well then I guess we better get to kicking these guys butts before we gotta get back and pack" I tell him and we laugh.

"What? HA girly you are sooo not going to win." Autumn says to me

"Oh please girlfriend, you no not what you say."

I say back at her and the guys are cracking up at us. We look at each other and smile and AJ goes up to bowl. I notice Marcus sitting away from us and I take a deep breath

'it's now or never' I think to myself and head over to him. "Marcus?"

He looks up at me

"What?" He says in a pissy voice He sits up and just looks at me

"In his life to stay huh? You really think that, that's sad. He'll get tired of you using him soon and you'll be gone, watch."

I stand there staring at him not believe he just said what he did. I hear them yell that it's my turn and I put my hand up to let them know I'll be there in a minute. I just realized Marcus had no idea AJ and I were engaged and I was very happy to inform him of it

"You can keep thinking that Marcus, but your wrong." I tell him

"OH you think I am huh?" He asks.

Laughing at him I say

"Oh I know your wrong, I guarantee your wrong. Cause you see AJ asked me to marry him last night and I accepted. So get used to the fact that I'm here to stay and you better start treating me better or you will get the shock of a lifetime when it's you leaving and not me"

With that I turn around and walk back to AJ. I can feel him staring at my back but I don't care, it felt good to say what I did.

*Autumn POV*

I watch Tre walk over to Marcus and I hold my breath.

"What is Tre doing?" Fred whispers to me.

"Getting some things sorted out," I say smiling.

I sit there, debating in my mind about going back to Florida for good or moving here with Fred. AJ finishes up. He turns around and sees no Tre. Then we start yelling it is her turn.

Aj then tells me that we are hitting the airport before 10 to get back to Florida.

Tre finally comes back and bowls. After she finishes, I get up to get ready.

"So, did it go okay?"

"Well, I told him like it was."

"Good. Now, talk to the guys so they don't watch me. Fred and I have to win."

Tre laughs and as I go to bowl I have other thoughts in my mind. As I go to throw my hand back, my bowling ball flies off my hand.

*Tre POV*

I just sit down and Autumn is up for her turn when she throws her hand back and her ball flies off her hand. It falls with a thud and rolls towards us.

Autumn turns around and her face is like bright red and I can't hold in the laughter any more and I bust out laughing. AJ joins me and poor Fred is trying soo hard not to laugh at her that when it finally happens it makes this funny sound and it makes us laugh harder. I look at Autumn and I can tell she is trying hard not to laugh but watching us laugh she can't help herself and she soon joins us.

I look up and see Marcus watching wondering what is going on. He gets up and walks over to us and is about to ask us what's soo funny when he trips over the ball and falls face first onto the floor. Well this just is the finisher for me and I am practically on the floor myself cracking up.

*Autumn POV*

Okay, now I feel bad. I go over and check on Marcus. Luckily, he is okay. I ask the guys if they are amused and I knew better than to ask.

I pick up the ball and calmly walk back to try again. AJ calls out

"The pins are the other way Autumn."

I laugh and have to collect myself before I get not one but two strikes.

"HA! HA!" I say.

I get back and it is Fred's turn to go. I look at Tre and look at Marcus and we start laughing.

When Fred finishes, he comes over and kisses me.

"You know, you don't look that bad when you are bowling."

Okay, now I feel more embarrassed. Fred then tells me he needs to talk to me, so we go over to the side and begin to talk.

*Tre POV*

The laughter has stopped....for now and AJ is up to bowl. I heard Fred tell Autumn he needed to talk to her and I watch them walk off.

'hmm I wonder what's up?'

I think to myself when AJ comes and sits down by me.

"Good bowling there Alex"

I tell him and he laughs

"Oh yea, great" He looks at his watch "It's 6:30 now, we still have a little while. Has Autumn told you anything?"

He asks me and I look over to her talking to Fred

"Nope not a thing but whatever it is, it'll be ok. I want her to be where she wants to be."

I tell him and he shakes his head. I realize it's my turn to bowl so I get up and take my turn and am very pleased to score 2 strikes myself.

I walk back over to AJ and he hugs me and goes to give me a kiss when his cell rings again.

"Oh damn. I'll be right back, Tre"

I sigh and roll my eyes

"Ok, Alex"

As I sit down Autumn and Fred walk back over.

"Hey Fred, it's your turn" I tell him.
