Moving On

*Lorie and Tre*

We get back at the hotel and figure we have a few hours to kill before we have to be to work. "Work, can you believe it Lorie, we actually finally found jobs" I look at Lorie with a huge grin on my face, which hasn't left really since we found out we got them. "I know Tre, this is soo cool. We all 3 have jobs now, we should finally be able to save money and get out of here." Lorie says to me as she kills another spider "Dang, I hate spiders" SLAM goes the phone book that Lorie used to smash the thing. "Well gee that spider never did anything to you" I say to her laughing. "Yes it did, it invaded my turf" she says while wiping the back of the phone book off. "Eww icky, remind me not to use that" I say to her giving her a hard time. "Oh hush, you would of killed it too, you once told me you hate spiders" Lorie said to me and sticking her tongue out at me. I just laugh at her and go back to trying to find something to wear. "Man, what are we gonna wear tonight?" I ask outloud while looking at my clothes. "I'm gonna wear my black pants with a purple t-shirt" Lorie tells me as she checks out her clothes. "Hmmm. I think I'll wear these blue jeans with this shirt" I say to her as I grab my favorite half shirt."Uh, Tre, we are supposed to be working not picking up guys" "Yea well it never hurts to try, get better tips that way" I tell Lorie giving her my best smile while moving my eyebrows up and down. "You are sooo bad." She informs me as she heads into the bathroom. "I might be bad, but I'll guarantee you I get some damn good tips tonight" I shout at her through the door. "Yea and a couple of phone numbers to go along with it, right?" "Well, hey that works for me" I say to her laughing. I get into the bathroom after Lorie finally gets out and fix my makeup and change. I walk out and Lorie just looks at me "What?" "DAMN Tre, what u trying to do, make all the guys drop down to thier knees and beg you to take their numbers?" I just start cracking up at her "Yea ok Lorie, whatever you say. I told you I was wearing this. If it works to get to know some people and to get some nice tips, I'm all for it." "Yea, but dang could you reveal anymore of your stomach?" "Hmm, nope, then it would be revealing a little too much if it goes much higher" I tell her as I look down at my clothes "wouldn't want to shock the new boss too much in one night" I inform her as I start laughing at the looks she's giving me. "Yea I think the shock of seeing you in that is enough, wouldn't want to push it any" "Oh shut up and lets go, geesh" I say to her as I grab my purse and head towards the door. Laughing at me she says "Ok, ok, I'm coming. Dang we're a bit impatient today arn't we?" "Well I guess the fact I have a job and that the job is at one of the hottest clubs in town which is owned by one fifth of the Backstreet boys, yea I guess so. OHH not to mention that there is a chance, tho slight it is, a chance of BSB showing up there. Dang..we gotta get there" I tell her as I jump in her car. She can't help but laugh at me "Ok Tre we are outta here and on our way. Just remember if the boss tells you to come home and change, don't blame me" She tells me as we pull out of the lot. "Now why in the world would he want me to change? He's a man, he'll like what he see's" I tell her with a devilish grin on my face. "Oh brother, working at this club is gonna be very interesting, I can see that already" Lorie mumbles to herself. "Yep, you know it. I'm working there...you never know what could happen" I tell her laughing. She rolls her eyes at me but shakes her head in agreement. We both laugh and then fall silent as we head to work both nervous because we really don't know what to expect. We get to the club just before 2 and we're glad to see there are no cars in the lot. We were nervous enough about training without actually having to train on real customers. We find our new boss, John, behind the bar. He seems to be talking to someone but we don't see anyone there. "Uh, hey John. We here to start our training" Lorie says when we get up to the bar. "Hey girls. Glad you made it. I'll be with you in a second, we're having a little problem behind the bar" Right after he said that we heard a voice from somewhere below the bar. "all right John, that should take care of it for tonight. We'll call someone to fix it tomorrow" I look at Lorie cause that voice sounds awfully familiar. "Alright, hopefully it'll work all night" John told the person. "Well it should" said the voice that was now getting up from where he was. The minute the person stood up I grabbed Lories arm, because standing not 3 feet away was Howie!!! He sees my reaction and smiles "Well I guess I don't have to wonder if you two know who I am any longer do I?" Lorie takes my hand off her arm and smiles at him and reaches out her hand "Hi Howie, I'm Lorie and this shocked into silence person, which is really usually hard to do, is Trelyn" Howie shakes her hand and then laughs when he sees me glare at her. I put my hand into Howies and can't believe I am shaking Howie D's hand. I thought it was all over but nooooo Lorie had something else to say..I guess it was-lets get back at Tre for anything she has ever done to me day-"I thought the only person who could strike Tre here dumb struck was AJ. If you can do it, I just can't wait to see what meeting AJ might do to her." if looks could kill I know Lorie would of been down seconds after she said that. I look at Loire not believing she said that in front of Howie, who not only is in BSB but is also AJ's best friend. -hmm time to think of some sweet revenge-I think to myself as Howie is laughing at my reaction. "Well, at least I rank as high as AJ does, for now anyway." I look at him still really pissed at Lorie but see his smile and his gorgeous brown eyes and I can feel the anger just slipping away. -Damn, it's hard to stay mad at anyone looking into them eyes..not fair!-I think to myself and smile back at Howie. "Well I have things to do in the back. It was very nice meeting you both." "It was very nice to meet you too Howie" I tell him with a hint of flirting in my voice. He smiles and I notice him checking me out and I smile at him. Lorie tells him the same thing and then he starts to head to the back, but I notice his eyes linger a little bit longer on me and I feel shivers up my spine. -Dang this man is finer in person then he is in pictures, they just don't do him justice. Of course, he can't come close to my AJ tho, but damn he's fine-I think to myself. Howie looks up at me and realizes he got caught checking me out he looks a little embarrassed but then flashes his great Howie D smile and gives me a wink and walks towards the back. Lorie sees all this and rolls her eyes at me. I just give her my biggest grin and look over to John. "Well I guess we should get our training started, huh?" "Yea, we should start. I have a feeling it's going to be busy tonight." "On a Thursday? Why do you think that?" Lorie asks him. "Oh because a certain group of guys are going to be here and when they are here, it's madness around here." He tells us and then laughs at us when he sees the looks of acknowledgment that flashes on our faces. Lorie and I look at each other and can't believe that on our first night working the Backstreet Boys are going to be here. John then heads towards the back and tells us to follow him. "Oh my gosh Lorie, BSB are going to be here tonight. We're going to meet them all in one day. OH my AJ is going to be here!!" " I know, I know Tre, that means Kevin is going to be here too" "Dang I'm glad I wore this even more now" Lorie looks at me and rolls her eyes (yes she does that a lot to me for some reason) and laughs. "Well, you sure are going to let him know your around." "Damn straight, AJ will be aware of my presence tonight." I tell her laughing. We get to where John is and he gives us directions on clocking in and out and then we get to go do the fun thing of filling out forms for taxes and all that great exciting stuff. Then after that was all finished we started our training.

After we got done with our training we just sat around talking and getting to know John. He was a really cool guy and seemed like he was going to be a fun boss. Jim and Steve show up a little later to get the bar ready for the night. John tells us he has to go to the office to figure some stuff out so we decide to go and talk to Jim and Steve. "Hey Jim, Hey Steve" Lorie says when we get up to the bar. "Hey girls, how'd the training go?" Steve asks us while checking out our outfits for the night" "It went great" I tell them though, it's going to be harder then I thought with my hand the way it is" "I was wondering about that, what happened?" Jim asks me. Laughing "Well, lets say a wall got in my way and I lost" He gives me this strange look and I just smile at him. We continue to talk to them until the first of the customers start coming in. "Well I guess we better get ourselves started working" Lorie tells me. "Yep, I guess so. Why am I so nervous?" She laughs at me "Well maybe cause we have never done this before." I laugh back at her "Oh, yeah that maybe it" "I guess we'll talk to you guys later" Lorie says to Jim and Steve and we walk away, though we can feel them watching us. The night flies by. My hand was a pain but I did really good (didn't drop a drink in anyone's lap..YAY!). Lorie did a great job too, she didn't mix up a order once. John came out before it got really busy and told us we were doing a fine job and he was glad that he hired us, well to say the least, that made us feel good. Lorie and I were up at the bar together "I wonder where Autumn is, I thought she'd be here by now" I say to Lorie. "I don't know, I thought she would too" Our orders came up and we were off again. Around 9:45 I see Autumn come in and I hurry over to her. "Hey girl, how'd your first day of work go?" "Hey Tre, it went great. You will NEVER believe who came into the restaurant." "Cool, I'm glad your day went good. I have something to tell you too, but first I need to get these drinks to some really thirsty good-looking men. Talk to you in a few." She laughed at me "Ok, I'm gonna go get a drink." "Ok" I say and I hurry off. I pass Lorie and tell her Autumn is here and is up at the bar getting a drink. "Cool, I'm glad she made it. Did you tell her who our boss is." Smiling "No, I didn't have a chance to, but she'll find out soon cause here he comes from the back." Lorie turns around and sees Howie move towards the bar. "UHH, Tre, did you check out and see who was behind Howie?" "No, why? OMG IT"S AJ!!" I say a little bit louder then I meant to. Laughing at me Lorie says "yep, that be AJ" "OK, ms. smarty pants but did you see who was bringing up the rear..and a mighty fine rear it is, I might add?" "No, I didn't. OMG IT"S KEVIN" This time it was my turn to laugh at her and I headed towards the bar but first "Gee, Lorie, nothing gets past you, does it?" She gives me a evil look and head towards a table that was trying to get her attention. I walk up to the bar where Autumn is "Hey don't look now but someone you REALLY like is standing at the end of the bar" She looks at me like I was strange but looked at the end of the bar "WOW it's Howie. Two times in one day I see Howie, it don't get no better than this" I look at her in shock "Two times in one day?" "Yea that is who I wanted to tell you was in the restaurant today" "WOW, you met Howie already?" "Yea, I actually was his waitress." "That is soo cool. Was he nice or stuck up towards you?" When I asked that question she gave me the nastiest look, saying ...How can you even suggest Howie being anything less then sweet..."He was a sweetheart, of course" "OH excuse me, I forgot he was the sweetest man on earth." I say laughing at the look on her face. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding, geesh. He was really cool when we met him earlier. He's our boss." "Your boss?" "Yep, he owns Tabu, remember?" "OH yea that's right, I remember now. Wow you have a bsb as your boss" "I know, I can't believe it." Just then she notices that the rest of the guys are with Howie and she looks at me "Tre uhh are you aware that AJ is also at the end of the bar?" "Yes, I know he is, I'm trying not to die here on the spot." "Well are you also aware of the fact that he is checking you out?" "No, he's not shut up. Don't say things like that, I'll fall on my face." "Well yes he is and ummm he's walking over here." "Autumn that's not nice, don't say that." Right after I say that I turn around and I am looking straight into the gorgeous brown eyes of one Alexander McLean. "Um, excuse me Miss. I was wondering if I could order a drink from you?" I keep staring at him and Autumn has to nudge me to get me back into reality. "Uh yea sure, but aren't you standing at the bar?" I ask him smiling. -OH MY GOSH AJ is right in front of me, I am going to die- I am thinking to myself this whole time. "Yes I am standing at the bar, but I would much rather have a beautiful woman bring me my drink then have the bartender give one to me" I feel myself blush when he says this and if it wasn't for the fact I was leaning up against the bar, I would of fell over. "Oh, well in that case I don't want to disappoint you by not bringing you your drink. What'll you have?" I ask him and look into his eyes again. I notice he is not wearing his trademark sunglasses and I get to see exactly how gorgeous his eyes are. When looking into them it's like you can see his soul and how he is feeling. If he was angry you would have no trouble seeing it, just look into his eyes. Right now I could see he was in a flirty mood and I was ecstatic that I was the one he chose to flirt with, well at least I am for now. He orders his drink and then goes and sits in the VIP section with the rest of the guys. "I think you handled that quite well Tre. I mean you didn't fall over and faint dead on the spot." Autumn says to me laughing cause she can tell I am trembling with excitement at being so close to AJ. "Oh shut up Autumn." I tell her but I was smiling. I knew I was shaking and was shocked myself to find me upright and talking still. I order AJ's drink and while I'm waiting for it another of my orders was sitting in front of me and I thought I better get that out first. I grab it and hurry to the table. I came back to the bar and got AJ's drink and headed over to him. "Here you go AJ." "Thank you. You know I didn't even catch you name?" He says smiling. "Oh, it's Trelyn but people call me Tre." "Ok, well thank you Tre. I'll be sure to look for you when I need another one." He tells me this and I can feel my cheeks getting red and I'm grateful that it's dark in the club. "Your welcome and I'm sure I'll be happy to get you another drink. When you need one just let me know." I smile at him and walk off. This whole time I am, again, dying on the inside. I see Howie smiling at me and I smile back. -I can't believe on my first night of work I meet AJ. It's going to be worth the pain in my hand for just them few sentences from AJ-I think while I hurry back to the other customers.

*Lorie*

Tre and I have been busy most of the night after people started coming in. John wasn't kidding when he said it would be busy tonight. I can tell Tre is having a little bit of a hard time with her hand but she's handing it ok. -Serves her right anyway, I mean she did hit a wall- I think to myself. Autumn finally came in and was sitting at the bar. Tre stopped me to tell me that she was here and while we were talking she noticed Howie coming from the back. I look over towards the back and see Howie but I also see someone in back of Howie and had to make Tre aware of this. "UH Tre did you check out and see who was behind Howie?" I asked her. Tre looks over again and I can see her eyes get wide and her jaw practically fall onto the floor " No, why? OH MY GOSH IT"S AJ" She yells in my ear. I laugh at her "Yep, that be AJ" I say to her. Then she looks again towards the back "Ok, ms smarty pants, but did you see who was bringing up the rear..and what a mighty fine rear it is I might add?" "No, I didn't. OMG IT"S KEVIN" I say a little to loud. Tre is laughing at me and starts heading towards the bar but of course she has to get a smart eleck comment in first "Gee Lorie nothing gets past you, does it?" She says to me still laughing. I roll my eyes and look at Kevin one more time.-Damn he looks HOT- I am thinking to myself when a customer yells for me. I reluctantly go over to the table and take their orders. I see Tre going over to talk to Autumn and notice how close they are to the guys. -Lucky them-I think while I am waiting for the table to make up their minds as to what they want. By the time they finally figured it out and I head towards the bar I see Tre up in the VIP section handing AJ a drink. -Damn she works quick-I think. I go over to where Autumn is and give Jim my order. "Hey Autumn, have a good day at work?" I ask her. "Yep, it was great. You'll never guess who my first customer was" "Who?" "Your boss, Howie" "No, way" Laughing at my reaction "Yep, it was. Just think how I felt when I saw him." "I bet you were shocked." "OH don't you know it. But I think I handled it well. I didn't ask for any autograph's or anything so I think I made him feel at ease around me, cause I know he knew I recognized him." "Well that's good you didn't go all white and fall face first at his feet" I tell her laughing. She laughed too "Yea well there was that option too." My order came up "I'll be right back" "Ok, I'll be here" I take my order to the table and head back over to Autumn. I notice Tre isn't in the VIP section anymore and I'm surprised cause I thought for sure no one would be able to tear her away from AJ. I did notice when I looked up there that AJ was watching Tre. -Dang, she already has AJ checking her out. How can I get Kevin's attention?- I think. I wasn't watching where I was going and bumped right into someone. "Oh, I am sorry. I wasn't paying attention." I say. When I look up I want to die, I wanted to get his attention, but this wasn't the way I wanted it. Kevin looks down at me and smiles. "It's ok, nothings broken." I laugh "Oh good, I wouldn't want to have to explain to my boss that I injured a customer" "Yes, I don't think that would be good for Howie's business." "No it sure wouldn't be." "I'm Kevin by the way." "Yes, I know. I'm Lorie." "It's nice to meet you Lorie. I take it that your a BSB fan." "Yep, I am. But don't worry I won't scream or anything." I tell him and he laughs at me. I just love his southern accent and his laugh and I am actually melting on the spot but I am hoping he doesn't notice. "Well I was trying to get a drink but it seems it's pretty crowded. Would you mind if I ordered from you and you brought it up to me?" "No, of course not, it's my job. And I would be happy to do that for you." I tell him and smile up at him. He has the most beautiful green eyes. "Why thank you Lorie, I appreciate it ." He gives me his drink order and I walk over to where Autumn is and again give Jim my order. "OH my gosh Autumn I just ran into Kevin." "Did you? Wow and how did it go?" "It went great, well at least I didn't fall on my face." I tell her laughing. She laughs at me and looks up at the VIP section. "Well it sure looks like AJ and Tre are getting along fine." I look up there and see Tre talking to AJ and laughing and flirting of course. "Well I guess you can say they should get along great, they are both big flirts." "Yea that is true. I know Tre flirts a lot and it is said AJ does too." "Yep and you should of seen her flirt with the guys here when we were here this morning. I think she had them so worked up they didn't know what to do." I tell Autumn about our interview and she is cracking up. "Sounds like Tre. Must of worked tho, cause here you two are." "I know I thought for sure we wouldn't get it but we did." Kevin's drink came up "Well here I go." I say to Autumn and I was becoming very nervous. "You'll do fine." I smile at her and head up towards the VIP section. I see Howie and he smiles at me. When I got up to Kevin I hear AJ ask Tre for her number and I almost trip and spill the drink on poor Nick. "Oh, I am so sorry, Nick. I hope nothing got on you." He looks at me with his wonderful blue eyes "Nope nothing got on me. Better talk to Howie about them invisible hands that come up and grab peoples feet." He says to me laughing. I laugh back at him and give Kevin his drink. "Thank you." he says to me and I can't help but stare into his eyes. "Oh, uhh your welcome Kevin. If you need anything else just let me know." -Like a 24 hour massage session at your house- "Ok, I'll do that, thanks." I smile and walk off towards the bar where I see Autumn and Tre. We're all 3 at the bar talking when I feel a finger touching my shoulder I turn around and see Nick. "Yes Nick?" I ask him. "Well I was just wondering if you would get me a drink." I smile at him because I see that there are plenty of places at the bar open for him to get it himself. "Yes of course I can. What would you like?" He gives me his order and heads back to the other guys. I look at Tre and Autumn and they are laughing. "What?" I ask them. "Oh nothing, it's just that he has ordered from me too." Tre tells me. "Yes I think little Nicky is trying to figure out which one he want's to flirt with." Autumn says. We all 3 start laughing. We do think he is cute but we have had our hearts set on AJ, Howie and Kevin for so long that we couldn't see one of us falling for Nick, though he has gotten pretty HOT looking these past few years. His drink comes up and I take it to him. He flirts with me and it's really flattering but I can feel Kevin's eyes on me and so I can't hear anything that Nick is saying to me. I head back down to my sections and continue to work but I can't concentrate very well because I know Kevin is not very far from me.

*Autumn*

I finally get to the bar where Tre and Lorie work, and I'm hoping that they arn't too mad at me for coming in so late. I notice the name of the bar and it sounds familiar but I can't place where I heard it before. I walk in and can't believe how busy it is for a Thursday night. Tre walks up to me when I walk in "Hey girl, how'd your first day of work go?" She asks me. "Hey Tre, it went great. You will NEVER believe who came into the restaurant." "Cool, I'm glad your day went good. I have something to tell you too but first I need to get these drinks to some really thirsty good-looking men. Talk to you in a few." I laugh at her, and notice what she is wearing. Leave it to Tre to dress like that and flirt with every guy in here. "Ok, I'm gonna go get a drink" I tell her. "Ok" and with that she rushes off towards the table with the good looking men. I see her pass Lorie and she tells her something and then Lorie looks up towards my direction and I know she told Lorie I was here. I walk up to the bar and order my drink. I'm sitting here thinking about my day and how I met Howie when I look up and see Howie and the rest of BSB enter the bar from the back. I can't believe my luck, twice in one day to see Howie. I can feel myself getting excited just because he is here and so close. Tre walks up by me and orders a drink "Hey don't look now but someone you REALLY like is standing at the end of the bar" She whispers in my ear. I give her a look but I glanced at the end of the bar anyway "WOW it's Howie. Two times in one day I see Howie, it don't get no better than this" She looks at me in shock "Two times in one day?" "Yea that is who I wanted to tell you was in the restaurant today" "WOW, you met Howie already?" "Yea, I actually was his waitress." "That is soo cool. Was he nice or stuck up towards you?" When she asked that question I gave her what I knew to be a very nasty look, saying ...How can you even suggest Howie being anything less then sweet..."He was a sweetheart, of course" "OH excuse me, I forgot he was the sweetest man on earth." She say laughing at the look on my face. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding, geesh. He was really cool when we met him earlier. He's our boss." "Your boss?" "Yep, he owns Tabu, remember?" "OH yea that's right, I remember now. Wow you have a bsb as your boss" "I know, I can't believe it." Just then I noticed that the rest of BSB were there too so I look at her "Tre uhh are you aware that AJ is also at the end of the bar?" "Yes, I know he is, I'm trying not to die here on the spot." "Well are you also aware of the fact that he is checking you out?" "No, he's not shut up. Don't say things like that, I'll fall on my face." "Well yes he is and ummm he's walking over here." "Autumn that's not nice, don't say that." Right after she says that she turns around and is looking straight into the gorgeous brown eyes of one Alexander McLean. "Um, excuse me Miss. I was wondering if I could order a drink from you?" Tre keeps staring at him so I have to nudge her to get her back into reality. "Uh yea sure, but arn't you standing at the bar?" she asked him smiling. I actually am surprised that Tre can mutter anything knowing how much she loves AJ. "Yes I am standing at the bar, but I would much rather have a beautiful woman bring me my drink then have the bartender give one to me" He says to her and I look at her and can see her blushing when he says this and I know if it wasn't for the fact that she was leaning up against the bar, she would of fallen over. "Oh, well in that case I don't want to disappoint you by not bringing you your drink. What'll you have?" She says to him and I am smiling because I can't believe she recovered so well. He orders his drink and then goes and sits in the VIP section with the rest of the guys. "I think you handled that quite well Tre. I mean you didn't fall over and faint dead on the spot." I say to her laughing cause I can she is trembling with excitement at being so close to AJ. "Oh shut up Autumn." She says to me. I knew she wasn't being mean because she was smiling. She gave the bartender AJ's order and then took off with another one that was waiting for her. She came back and grabbed AJ's drink. I kinda chuckle cause I know she is nervous but without a word to me she heads up to him with his drink. I can see them talking and I'm glad to see they seem to be getting along well. I look over to where Howie is sitting and wish he would come talk to me. I turn away from Howie and see Lorie coming towards me. I see her looking up to the VIP section and I figure she is looking for Kevin. She heads over towards me and give's the bartender her order. "Hey Autumn, have a good day at work?" She asks. "Yep, it was great. You'll never guess who my first customer was" "Who?" "Your boss, Howie" "No, way" I Laugh at her reaction "Yep, it was. Just think how I felt when I saw him." "I bet you were shocked." "OH don't you know it. But I think I handled it well. I didn't ask for any autograph's or anything so I think I made him feel at ease around me, cause I know he knew I recognized him." "Well that's good you didn't go all white and fall face first at his feet" She says to me laughing. I start laughing "Yea well there was that option too." Her order came up "I'll be right back" "Ok, I'll be here" I say to her as she walks off. I just look around for the few minutes Lorie is gone and come to the conclusion that Howie has great taste in how he decorated the bar. I turn around and see Lorie coming back towards me and again she is looking up in the VIP section. I swear she's gonna break her neck staring up there and looking for Kevin. She must not of seen the person in front of her because she ran right into him. I'm sitting here laughing and I notice that it's Kevin, dang now she gets to meet Kevin, no fair I want Howie to talk to me. I'm getting a little jealous but then remember that I already met Howie and had a chance to meet him at the restaurant so I calmed down a little, but it didn't stop the feeling of wanting him to come over and talk to me. I see Kevin walk away from Lorie and see this shocked far away look on her face. I had to laugh at her. She walks over to where I am and gives the bartender her order. "OH my gosh Autumn I just ran into Kevin." "Did you? Wow and how did it go?" "It went great, well at least I didn't fall on my face." She tells me laughing. I had to laugh at her. I take a look up into the VIP section and notice Tre and AJ. "Well it sure looks like AJ and Tre are getting along fine." She looks up there and sees Tre talking to AJ and laughing and flirting of course. "Well I guess you can say they should get along great, they are both big flirts." "Yea that is true. I know Tre flirts a lot and it is said AJ does too." "Yep and you should of seen her flirt with the guys here when we were here this morning. I think she had them so worked up they didn't know what to do." She tells me about their interview and I can't help but crack up. "Sounds like Tre. Must of worked tho, cause here you two are." "I know I thought for sure we wouldn't get it but we did." Kevin's drink came up and she looked at me and I noticed she was getting nervous. "Well here I go." She says to me. "You'll do fine." I tell her and she walks off towards Kevin. I look over to where I know Howie is sitting and notice him smile at her.-dang what I would do to get him to smile at me tonight- I think to myself. I decide to order another drink and I feel like having something I've never had so I order a Barry White, thinking that is a very weird name for a drink. After a while the crowd started to thin out and I look at my watch, man I can't believe it's 3:00 in the morning, I gotta go, I have work tomorrow. I look around for Tre or Lorie but can't seem to see them on the floor. I look up at the VIP section and there they are talking to AJ and Kevin. Tre and AJ seem to have forgotten anyone else but them exist in the room. Lorie and Kevin looked like they were engaged in a very important conversation sitting with their heads practically touching. I smile cause I know they both are in heaven. I look over and see that Howie isn't sitting where he was most of the night and sigh, -well I gotta get going home anyway, if I saw him I would walk up to him and talk to him and I gotta get some sleep- I tell myself trying to deny the disappointment that came over me seeing that he wasn't there. I get up and walk over to the section. The music suddenly turned off and the lights all came on. Tre and AJ finally realized that they were among other people and came back into reality and Lorie and Kevin looked up from their conversation. "Hey Tre, Lorie, I'm gonna take off, I'm tired and have to work in the morning." "Uhh, hold on a second Autumn, be right there." Tre says to me but she is still looking at AJ. She says something to him and he smiles and shakes his head. She comes over to me "Why don't you wait while Lorie and I help clean up and then we can all 3 head home together." "But I have my car" "I know you do, but we can follow you." "I'm not drunk Tre." "I know that, but then we all won't be on the streets alone at this time at night." "Ok, good point. I"ll go sit at the bar and wait for you then." "Ok, cool. It won't take loNG" I notice a pair of tattooed arms wrap themselves around her middle when her voice goes up in shock and laugh at her and shake my head. "Gee AJ, you scared me half to death" I hear her say laughing I hear his raspy voice "Oh I'm sorry baby, I'll just have to make up for that..." I didn't hear the rest because I walked off not believing they were already acting like that. I ask the bartender if I could have a coke and he gives me one. -Leave it to Tre to get the man of her dreams calling her baby and wrapping his arms around her the night she meets him- I think to myself feeling a little down because Howie seemed to have already left and I really wished he would of talked to me.

Lorie and I helped clean up the bar which took longer then it really should of but we had to blame Kevin and AJ because they kept coming up behind us and scaring us. Of course AJ wrapping his arms around me I didn't mind at all...it was pure heaven. Specially when he whispered in my ear and called me baby. I wanted to melt away right then and there. I notice Kevin was walking up behind Lorie and whispering something in her ear to that made her laugh and sometimes blush. I was soo happy, I couldn't believe I just met AJ and it was going so well for me and even Lorie. I felt bad for Autumn cause she was sitting at the bar alone. -Man I wish Howie would of talked to her, that would of made her night-I think to myself when I feel a pair of arms around me and hear "Hey baby how much longer is this gonna take, I wanna go for that walk we talked about?" I smile and turn around and put my arms around his neck "Well AJ if you would quit walking up and distracting me, it would go a lot faster, and you would get that walk that you want." I tell him giving him my flirty smile. "YO, Kev, lets leave the girls alone so they can get done." He yells at Kevin, who was at that moment moving in for a kiss from Lorie. I see the dirty look AJ gets and laugh. Lorie looks over to me and I shrug my shoulders. I look over towards the bar and Autumn is looking up at me and laughing and shaking her head. -I can just hear it now- I think and go back to wiping the tables but not before I notice a certain long haired backstreet boy coming over to the bar from the back.
