*Lorie and Autumn*
I wake up, and not too happy about it either, from a wonderful dream I was having about Howie and look around and see that Tre and Lorie both made it home safely. I get up and get my clothes that I am going to wear for the day and head in to take a shower. When I walked out of the bathroom Lorie was awake and watching some tv. "Hey Lorie" She looks away from the tv and mumbles hi and then stumbles to the bathroom. I laugh at her and sit down and start changing the channels on the tv. She comes out of the bathroom and plops down beside me on the bed "Hey Autumn, whatcha watching?" "Nothing really, not much on." "Yea that is what I discovered when I was flippen through" I look at her and decide that I will have to ask her about her date with Kevin cause obviously she isn't going to spill without being asked. "So..Lorie, how was your date with Kevin?" She smiles at me and gets this look in her eyes and I know just by that that she had a wonderful time. "Oh Autumn, it was great. We went out for coffee and then he asked if I wanted to go for a walk with him. Well of course I said yes so we left and went to his house. His house is gorgeous, and yes I did remember Tre telling us that if Kevin and Howie asked us to go to their place we would..and well I did. I hate it when I help her make a point." She says to me and points to Tre and I laugh. "Well we get to his house and it's HUGE and soo beautiful. He shows me around and I love how he has it decorated. I mean you can tell a man lives there but it's not so dominate that it's overwhelmingly male..u know what I mean?" She asks me and I nod yes to her and she goes on about her date "Well after the tour we go for our walk. He takes my hand and all I can feel is tingles moving up my arm...I know corny but true. Well we walk around his neighborhood and it's so peaceful and full of big houses. I mean this room would probably fit in one of the houses bathroom! Well anyway, as we are walking back to his house I start thinking about what is going on with Tre and AJ and I sorta shiver, well Kevin sees this and puts his arm around me. Let me tell you Autumn he smells so good and it felt so right to be held by him. We get back to his house and stop by his car and he kisses me. OMG! Let me tell you it was the sweetest kiss I have ever had in my life." I smile at Lorie when she talks about Kevin's kiss and my mind wonders to last night when Howie kissed me. I am in the middle of memory lane when Lorie says something that brings me back into reality "Uh wait..what did you just say Lorie?" She gives me this annoyed look and shakes her head "I didn't think you were listening to me. I said Kevin asked me to spend the night with him and I actually told him I couldn't. Can you believe that?? I know it was the right thing to do, not to stay with him, but man it's Kevin!" -I wonder if I could say no to Howie if he asked me to stay the night with him- I think to myself before Lorie goes on. "Well anyway he tells me he isn't mad at me for saying no to spending the night, Autumn he told me he respected me for saying no. Can you believe that? I mean I thought he would be so offended but he wasn't. I was so relieved. Well we get into his car and he brings me home and I tell him I had fun and he says the same. Then he says he won't be at the club tonight but asks me out for Sunday night. Of course I say yes and then he kisses me and leaves. It was such a great night, I can't believe I was so nervous about going out with him, he was perfect." She says with a huge smile on her face. "Wow Lorie it sounds like you had such a great time. I am so happy that it went great for you. I thought about you and Tre when I got back here last night. I wonder what happened between her and Nick?" When I brought up Tre and Nick I can see that it really troubled her and well actually it does me too. -I wish she would wake up so we can find out what went on-I think to myself. "So Autumn, what did you and Howie do after we left.?" Lorie asks me this and automatically the smile comes back on my face and Lorie sees it "OHHH you better spill now girl. You are grinning so big right now." She teases me. "Well...after you guys left he straightened up a little and we talked a little bit about Tre and AJ. I almost said something to cause a argument but decided to keep my mouth shut because I know he would stick up for AJ again just like I was for Tre. Then he goes in back and gets some papers and comes back and starts turning off lights, well I don't need too big of a hint, I knew he was telling me it was time to leave. So I go over to the door and we walk out. He locks up and then walks me over to my car. Right before I get in he touches my arm and I turn around and he is looking at me so seriously I didn't know what to think. Then he asks me out. Let me tell you Lorie, I now know what butterflies you are talking about, I got so excited and nervous at the same time. I of course say yes I'd love to go out with him. Well we make the date for tonight and he is picking me up and taking me to dinner to a Italian restaurant. After we get the details done he bends down and gives me a kiss. Man it was the softest kiss I have ever had so full of tenderness I couldn't believe it. He says he will see me tomorrow and watches me get into my car and I can't help but watch him walk to his." I look at her to make sure she is still awake and listening cause she is so quiet, and I see a smile on her face. "What?" I ask her. "Nothing, I am waiting for you to go on. Howie sounds like such a great guy." I smile at her "He is Lorie, he is. Anyway he waits for me to leave before he does, which was such a gentlemanly thing for him to do. And that's it. That is what happened last night. I could feel his kiss all the way home and when I went to bed I could still feel it. Sounds stupid, huh? but it's true, I could." Lorie starts laughing, but not a laugh that is like laughing at me but one that is laughing with understanding "Yea I know exactly what you mean when you say you could still feel his kiss when you went to bed, cause I could still feel Kevins" We both sit there and stare into space both remember the night before when Tre rolls over and gives a sigh in her sleep. "Man I wish she would wake up, I wanna know what went on with her and Nick" Lorie tells me walking over to where Tre slept. "Yea I know, me too but I think we will have to wait a while." "Yea I think your right." Lorie says while walking over to where her clothes are and grabs a pair of shorts and a shirt. "Hey Autumn, you did say you had a date with Howie tonight, right?" "Yea, why?" She smiles at me and laughs "Sounds like a good reason to go shopping to me" I smile at her "Oh yea it does. Lets go" "Ok, but let me get a shower first then off to the mall we go." "OK, hey should we ask Tre to go? You know she loves to shop too." Lorie nods in agreement to this but then starts to shake her head no "I think we should just let her sleep. Maybe when we get back she will be up." "Ok, your right, we'll let her sleep." She nods and walks into the bathroom for her shower. She takes a pretty fast shower and we are ready to go within like 30 minutes. We write a little note for Tre incase she wakes up and finds us not here and head for the mall. I am not sure at all what I want but know that I want a dress with spaghetti straps and probably black. We go to a couple stores and at the last one I find just the dress I want. It's not too long or short and it has a low back with spaghetti straps and..it's black. I grab it and take it to the changing rooms to try it on and I love it the minute I see it on me but decide I should get a second opinion. I walk over to where Lorie is and ask her what she thinks "What do I think? I think Howie will bend down on one knee and tell you he will do your every want and need." I start laughing and so does she. After the fit of laughter we walk back over to the dressing rooms and I change back into my street clothes. As I walked up to the cash register I realize I forgot one important thing...the price. I had no idea how much the dress was. I stop and Lorie practically runs into me "Gee Autumn, walk much?" she asks a little annoyed that I stopped suddently. "Sorry Lorie but I forgot to check the price. I haven't got paid yet, I can't spend too much." I look at the tag and dread comes over me $150.00!! -for what?- I think - a piece of cloth that has nothing to it?- I am soo disappointed at how much it costs that I almost start to cry. "What's wrong Autumn? How much does it cost?" Lorie asks when she sees my face. "Man Lorie, it costs $150.00. I can't afford this. I have to put it back and look for another one." "Aww man Autumn that sucks, that dressed looked great on you." "Yea I know it did but I can't get that much into debt for a date, even if it is with Howie." She shakes her head and we head back to where I got the dress. I start to put it back when Lorie grabs my arm. "Autumn are you sure this is where you got the dress?" I look at her strange, I'm only 21 I'm not that forgetful yet- I think "Yes Lorie, this is where I got the dress." "Are you sure?" When she asks this I am getting annoyed "Yes Lorie, I am sure. Damn what do you think I am stupid?" "No of course not Autumn, geeesh. Look at the sign above where the dress goes." I give her a strange look but look up at the sign anyway 'ALL DRESSES 75% OFF' I stare at the sign and then look at Lorie and get this huge grin on my face. "So now I bet you can afford this dress, Autumn" I grab the dress back before anyone comes up and tries to snatch it up and walk back up to the register. I pay for the dress and am very happy to see I have enough money for a new pair of black shoes to go with it. We walk to the nearest shoe store and I immediately find some shoes. The are black with about a inch and a half heel on them. I can't stand walking in really high heeled shoes, plus Howie isn't exactly really tall and I don't want to tower over him either. With our shopping done we decide it's time to head back to the room but then do a turn about and head over to the food court to grab a bite to eat. Lorie said she would pay with what she earned from tips, and who am I to argue free food. We get our food and eat it in silence pretty much both off in our own little worlds, mine Howie world and I am sure Lorie was in Kevin world. It doesn't take long to get finished and we leave. I think we both were also in a hurry because we wanted to see if Tre was up so we can find out what happened the night before with Nick. We get back to the room and am happy to find Tre awake. "Hey sleepy head" I say to her when we walk in. She looks up and I see her eyes are a little puffy and red and of course I am wondering what was wrong but I wasn't sure if I could ask her. "Hey you guys. What'd you buy?" She asks and walks over to take the bag out of my hand. "Oh, I bought a dress for my date with Howie tonight. Didn't you read our note?" She looks at me slightly confused so I walk over to where we left the note and hold it up "You didn't see this?" I ask her. She shakes her head "Uh no, sorry. I've been up for a while but didn't feel like getting out of bed." Ok, now I know there is something wrong. I look at Lorie and she is looking at Tre with a worried expression on her face. "So uh Tre, what did you and Nick do last night?" I ask her and sit down on the bed across from her. "Oh not much really, just went to a after bar party is all. So you said you have a date with Howie? Cool, when did that happen?" She asks and I can tell she is totally avoiding my question about Nick. I smile cause I get to talk about Howie again, one of my favorite subjects "Well it happened after you and Nick left, without telling anyone I might add, and after Lorie and Kevin left for their date." She gets up and walks over to the window and stares out of it "Cool, where's he taking you tonight?" She asks me and I can tell her mind is a hundred miles away from here but I tell her anyway but glance at Lorie who just shrugs her shoulders "He's going to take me to a Italian Restaurant he knows about and then we may go out dancing." She shakes her head and then turns around and looks at me and her demeanor has totally changed and she has this huge smile on her face "So...is that way when I came in this morning you had this stupid goofy smile on your face, Autumn?" I can feel my face turning red but try to play it off "I have no idea what you mean. I didn't have no goofy grin." "HA! yes you did. I walk in and you have this grin on your face that was sooo goofy, I had to laugh. Did you fall asleep dreaming of Howie dreams?? OHH and if you did I bet I can imagine what was in them to put that grin on your face." She says to me and I just want to bury myself under the blankets because I can feel myself getting red cause I remember the dream I was having when I woke up this morning. "Oh shut up Tre" I say to her trying to be mad but I don't pull it off because I know she probably is right, I probably did have a stupid grin. She busts up laughing at me and then Lorie started up "OH both of you shut up!!" I yell but start to laugh myself. After our laughing fit is over Tre is acting more like herself then she was just a few minutes ago and asks Lorie about her date with Kevin "So Lorie, did you have a good time?" Lorie recovers from the fit but then gets a huge smile on her face when asked about Kevin "Yes it was great Tre. I did what you said and just let things go, you know be normal don't be nervous, and it worked great. We went out for coffee and then he asked me to go for a walk so we did. Ok, I hate to admit it, but I went to his place." She tells Tre this and she gets this smile and look on her face and I can just hear the I TOLD YOU SO coming but surprisingly it didn't she just shakes her head. I can tell Lorie is surprised to but she keeps going. "His house is awesome and huge, I could get lost in it. We went for a walk in his neighborhood and then I came home, but we have a date for Sunday." "Cool, I'm glad it went good for you. I knew it would. Well I'm going to go take a shower to get ready for work. I guess since Autumn has a date we better get ready a little early so she can get in there." For some reason I totally forgot about the bathroom situation with my date and them having to get ready for work so I am glad that someone thought of it. I'm just shocked it was Tre. "Oh yea thanks for thinking about that Tre, I spaced it off." I tell her and she smiles and gathers up her clothes for work and walks into the bathroom to get ready. I watch her go in and after she closes the door I turn to Lorie "Ok, what is going on with Tre? She is not acting right." Lorie nods her head in agreement "Yea I know. I wonder what happened last night and why she is avoiding all questions about Nick." "Yea I know. It makes me think something happened and she doesn't want to tell us." "Yea I am thinking the same thing." I tell Lorie and walk over to my new dress and start trying to decide how I want to wear my hair. Lorie is busy watching tv and when Tre comes out of the bathroom she goes in to get ready for work. Tre doesn't say much to me and that gives me the answer to one of the things I was wondering..something happened and she just isn't gonna talk about it. So of course that perks my curiosity up so I have to ask her "So Tre, what did you and Nick do last night?" She turns away from the tv and looks at me with a annoyed look on her face "I told you, we went to a after bar party. Then I came home." I can tell there is more but I decide not to ask cause I can tell she just won't tell me anyway. Lorie gets out of the bathroom and before I go in we share kind a private conversation with looks. She looks to me and then to Tre and I shrug my shoulders and shake my head that I just didn't know. She sighs and tells Tre that they better leave for work. Tre gets up shuts off the tv, grabs her purse and tells me to have fun on my date and walks out of the room to the car. Now see the Tre I know would of given me a hard time about tonight and teased me endlessly on what I should do on my date, so now you can say I am worried about her. Lorie watches Tre and then turns to me and shrugs her shoulders (get the feeling there's a lot of shrugging of the shoulders here?) and shakes her head. "Have a great time Autumn. I want to hear all about it tomorrow." She tells me before she walks out. "Oh don't worry Lorie, I am sure I'll have a blast and you will hear about it. Like I'll be able to keep it in." I tell her and laugh. She laughs and walks out the door. I get into the bathroom and start getting ready. I can feel the butterflies starting already and I still have like 2 hours before the date. -Great I'm going to be nauseous by the time he gets her-I think to myself. I get into the shower and let the warm water soothe my nerves. I am ready by 6:00 so I have to wait for another half hour before Howie gets here, so I watch some tv and wait. -Hey cool Gone With The Wind is on, I'll watch this while I wait for Howie-I think to myself and sit down to watch.
*Lorie*
After I tell Autumn bye and to have fun on her date with Howie I get into the car with Tre and start to drive to work. I can tell there is something wrong but she isn't talking and I'm not sure I should try to pry it out of her. So, I decide to try the round about way "So Tre, was the party pretty happenin last night?" She is staring out the window and doesn't seem to of heard me so I go to ask her again when she finally does answer "Oh yea Lorie it was a blast, lots of people." Well at least I got something out of her-I think to myself as I come to a stop at a light. I start to think about Kevin and before I know it I am back to last night and him kissing me. Next thing I know people are blaring their horns at me and Tre is looking at me funny. "What?" I ask her. "Uh the light, it's green." She said very sarcastically. I look up and see that the light had indeed turned green, so with added color to my face, I take off. Ok, gotta not think about Kevin and Kissing while driving, a very dangerous combination-I think. We get to work and see that their are already cars in the lot so we know it's gonna be a busy one, well it is Saturday night. I am looking forward to working but then remember that Kevin won't be in so I won't see him and I get a little disappointed. Tre on the other hand seems to be all for working tonight because she is already in the club and the door is closing behind her. Me...I'm still getting out of the car. Well dang, she's in a hurry tonight- I think to myself as I open the clubs door. By the time I get to the back where the clock is to punch in Tre has already done so and grabbed a apron and is heading back towards the bar. I punch in and head out there too and see that more people have showed up just since I went in back. Gonna be a long night of running around like a chicken with my head cut off I see- I think to myself as I head for my first customer. At around 11 or so I see AJ walk in the club and he walks up and gets a drink and he starts looking around, I assume, for Tre. I look in the direction of Tre's tables and I see her but she is busy with a customer so I guess she doesn't know he is here yet. I get busy with tables so I pay no more attention to AJ until about a hour later when I see him head over towards Tre. I watch him walk up to her and wrap his arms around her from behind and kiss her neck. I see her jump at his kiss and move away from him. I watch them exchange words and then watch as AJ leaves the club. Uh oh, did Tre find out about AJ and Lisa?-I think as I give a table their order. Or did something happen between Tre and Nick that she isn't too proud of-all this is going through my head for the rest of the night. About a half hour after AJ leaves Nick and Brian walk in. I say 'hi' to them as I get my order from the bartender and walk off. I pass Tre and tell her they are here and she mumbles that she saw them. The rest of the night flies by for me, mainly because I have put my concentration on my date with Kevin the next night and I started to mess up orders because of it and decide I better start focusing on my job.
*Tre*
Lorie finally gets out of the motel room and we are off to work. She keeps trying to start a conversation with me but I'm not paying attention to her. I keep hoping she gets the hint that I don't want to talk about last night but she doesn't and I have to answer yet another question. We stop at a stop light and she finally shuts up so I am happy. Next thing I know people are honking at us so I turn and look at her and she is off in la la land, thinking of Kevin no doubt. She finally snaps out of it and notices the annoyed look I am giving her. "What?" She asks me. "Uh the light, it's green." I tell her very sarcastically. She looks up and sees that the light had indeed turned green, and takes off but has turned red in the mean time. We finally get to the club and I practically jump out of the car and run into the club. I just want to get this night over with-I think to myself as I head in back to punch in. As I'm heading back into the bar Lorie has finally made it the back to punch in herself. As I pass her I notice the strange look she is giving me but blow it off, I just don't wanna talk about last night. I dive right into work and pay no attention to anything or anyone but work. At around 11 I see AJ walk in and go up to the bar and order a drink. Great, why does he have to show up tonight?-I think as a customer finally decides what they want. I don't want to deal with AJ tonight-I think as I go to the opposite end of the bar to where he is-after what happened between me and Nick and then Nick proving where AJ was last night, I just don't feel like going there-I am thinking when I feel a pair of arms wrap themselves around my waist and feel a soft kiss on my neck, I jump at the touch and move away closer to the bar and turn around and come face to face to what I just was thinking I didn't want to deal with. AJ stood there, looking mighty FINE I might add, with a confused look on his face. "What's wrong baby? Are you mad cause I didn't show up last night?" He asks me. The bartender tells me my order is up so I grab the drinks and start to walk off "Come on babe, talk to me. What's wrong?" He asks me again. "Look AJ I don't want to talk right now ok, plus we are busy and I don't have the time." I can tell that pissed him off just a little bit "Fine Tre don't talk right now, but I'll be back after hours and we will talk then." I nod my head and he leaves. Oh man, I just don't want to be here right now-I think as I take the drinks to the table. Not long after AJ leaves I see Brian and Nick walk into the club -OH this night just keeps getting better and better-I think to myself as Lorie walks up to tell me they are here. I tell her I know and walk off. Damn, first AJ and now Nick, why did Nick have to show up tonight? I feel bad enough about what I did to him without seeing him let alone having to look into his gorgeous blue eyes and see how much I hurt him.-I am in the middle of thinking this when I feel some one tap me on the shoulder. I turn around and Brian is standing there, this surprises me because I haven't really talked to Brian since I met AJ. "Uh, hey Brian. Whatcha need?" I ask him thinking he wants a drink but can't understand why he would ask me since they are standing at the bar. "Hey Tre. I don't need anything, I just came over here to talk to you." When he said this my stomach dropped because I just knew what he wanted to talk about. Great, Nick told him what happened and now I'm going to get a lecture-I think but smile at him "Talk? Talk about what Brian?" I ask him trying to act like I had no earthly idea what he was talking about. He smiles at me and turns and looks at Nick. Oh no my little inside voice screams. "Nick? What about him?" "Come on Tre, I know you know what I want to talk to you about." I shift my feet and nod that I do know "Ok then. Look Nick feels really bad about what he did last night, with the calling Lisa and proving where AJ was. He knows he shouldn't of done that and he is afraid that you are still pissed at him and don't want to talk to him." I am shocked when Brian tells me that Nick is afraid I am pissed at him. I mean he has every right to be mad at me, not me at him. "Brian I am not mad at Nick. Sure at first I was but I know why he did what he did last night. I mean I made him mad at me for letting it get as far as it did and then stopping it. I can understand him wanting to hurt me back, heck I probably would of done it if it happened to me. I like Nick, Brian and if it wasn't for my feelings for AJ I would want to be with Nick but it's not right to be with him and have feelings for AJ. Do you know what I mean, does it make sense?" Brian nods and smiles at me. "It makes total sense to me Tre, now you have to tell Nick the same thing. Let him know you are not mad at him and want to still be friends. He is afraid of losing your friendship." WOW Nick Carter is afraid of losing my friendship?-I think to myself, boy my life sure has changed. I smile at Brian and tell him thanks and walk over to where Nick is standing. I tell him everything I just told Brian and I apologize for last night again. Nick tells me there is no reason to apologize and that he is also sorry for what he did. We both forgive each other and we end up hugging and he gives me a little kiss. After we make up I have to get back to my tables since it's been a few minutes since I've been around. I notice Lorie is having trouble keeping orders straight and wonder if it is because she has entered Kevin land and isn't paying attention to what she is doing. I have to laugh at her because I can tell she is getting very frustrated with herself. I notice a while later that the club has thinned out and realize that closing time is coming up quick. Oh no, that means AJ is going to be here and I just can't face him-I think as I pick up a tip a customer left. Before all the customers are gone I look over to the entrance and see AJ make his way towards where Nick and Brian are sitting. Well Nick and AJ seem to be getting along fine, I guess AJ doesn't know he called him this morning at Lisa's-I think as I clean off another table. I see Lorie head off to the back to clock out after she gets her tables washed off and realize that I am moving pretty darn slow at that, I guess that tells you how much I am looking forward to this conversation with AJ huh? Finally I get done and punch out. I make my way into the club and to where everyone is sitting, well except Lorie. "Hey guys, where'd Lorie go?" AJ turns around and smiles at me "I told her I would bring you home" I smile back at him with butterflies in my stomach. Well, I guess we will see if you bring me home or not-the voice in my head says as I sit down with them. Nick and AJ both turn and look at me and AJ tries to take my hand and pull me closer to him for a kiss but I move away from him and of course he gets pissed off "What the hell is your problem Tre? I mean I know I didn't show up last night but damn do you have to act like this?" he practically yells at me and of course I get pissed off right back at him. "Don't you yell at me like that AJ, you have no right to yell at me for acting like this. Where were you last night that you weren't able to show up like you told me you would?" I ask him this and look him right in the eye. I swear you could cut the tension in the air with a knife. I can tell Nick and Brian are uncomfortable sitting with us while we are yelling at each other but neither one leave. He gets this look in his eye like he is trying to measure me up to see what I would believe and wouldn't "Well I was at home all night. I fell asleep on my couch and didn't wake up 'til late." OMG, I can't believe he just said that-I think to myself. I laugh at him "You weren't at home AJ and I know that for a fact. You were with your ex-girlfriend Lisa getting a piece and DON'T you dare try to deny it because I know you were there." He jumps up from the chair and it falls over "How the hell do you know I was over at Lisa's house last night. Who the hell told you?" I stand up "Well for your information I was at Nicks house last night and was standing next to him when he called up Lisa's and asked to talk to you she told him you were asleep." He looks from me to Nick and back again and I knew he was trying to figure out what to say and do "Well Lisa was lying...wait just a fricken minute what do you mean you were at Nicks house? I know what time he called me and it was like at 5:30 in the morning, what the hell were you doing at his house at that time?" He yells to me in my face and I realize I just did the most stupid thing I could of done, I practically told AJ what Nick and I did, well almost did. Nick jumps up and pushed AJ away from me "Don't you be yelling at her like that AJ. None of this would of happened if you would of just done what you should of done and that was meet Tre here last night but no you had to go get it on with Lisa" Nick never saw the fist coming that met his face. He fell down on to the floor and I knelt down beside him to make sure he was ok. At this time Brian jumps up and grabs AJ and pulls him away from the situation. "Man why in the heck did you just have to hit him? You know where you were last night why deny it? Plus Howie told you about Tre and Nick doing something together last night since you didn't bother showing up." I hear him tell AJ while he was walking him towards the other end of the bar. I help Nick up and go and get him some ice for his eye. "I am soo sorry this happened Nick. I really didn't mean for it to." I tell him as I hand him the ice. "I know Tre, it's not all your fault, it's mine and it's AJ's too. If he would of showed up and if I would of just kept away, none of this would be happening right now." I know he was trying to make me feel better, but it didn't. I turn around and look at AJ and I can tell he feels horrible for hitting Nick so I walk over to him "Look I know you are angry but be angry at me not at him. I shouldn't of went with him last night, I only went because I was mad at you for blowing me off, and yes this was before I found out you were with Lisa. I never planned for what happened between us to happen, it just did. Call it too much to drink and my need to feel wanted. Please don't be mad at him." I said this to AJ and then walked off into the back. After a few minutes I walk back out and I see Aj and Nick talking and smile. Well at least they are ok now-I think to myself as I walk over to Brian. He smiles at me "Well it seems things are ok now." "Yea well between them two anyway, which is what matters" I tell him. "Tre they both like you very much you know." I look at him and laugh "Yea I am sure they do, just look at what I made them do. I go home with Nick and almost sleep with him and then AJ decks him, boy what a winner girlfriend I would be." and I walk away. AJ sees me walk away from Brian and comes over to me "Tre?" I look up, surprised that he is still talking to me. "What AJ?" He moves over to be in front of me and makes me look at him. "Look, I am sorry. None of this would be happening if I would of just told Lisa no but for some reason I didn't. I don't know why I didn't. I want you to know that I feel horrible for sleeping with her and I wish it never would of happened" I have to say, I am shocked at this. I mean I am the one that almost slept with Nick, his best friend and he is apologizing to me?? "AJ, there is no reason for you to feel bad, I mean I am the one that was with Nick but shouldn't of been." Brian walks over to us "Look you guys, I know things are screwed up right now but remember y'all had no commitment to each other so in reality no one messed around on anyone. Just keep that in mind, ok?" and with that he walks away over to Nick. We watch them leave the club and then look at each other. I realize that Brian is right, why was I mad at Aj for sleeping with Lisa, ok yea he blew me off, but he wasn't my boyfriend so it wasn't like he HAD to come see me. I definitely shouldn't of been with Nick, but again I wasn't AJ's girlfriend. I look up at AJ and can see that he was thinking about what Brian said too. "You know, Brian is right. I mean no I shouldn't of blown you off, I should of at least called you, but we never did have a commitment to each other." "Yea that is very true, we didn't. I shouldn't of been with Nick, oh and by the way we didn't go through with anything, just so you know." He smiles at me and I can see relief in his eyes when he hears that nothing really happened between me and Nick. "I do have to say though Tre, I have strong feelings for you and I would love to have a steady commitment to you, that is if we can start from here and now and forget everything that happened last night?" I stand there not saying anything just letting what he said sink in. OK did AJ McLean just tell me he wanted me as his girlfriend? I ask myself. I look up into his brown eyes and I get my answer "Yes AJ, starting from here and now sounds great and just forgetting that last night happened sounds great to me. I would love to have a steady commitment to you too." When I say that to him, he gets a big smile on his face and puts his arms around me and kisses me passionately. I wrap my arms around him and kiss him back just as passionately. After the kiss is done he looks into my eyes "Well I do have to say that you are the first fan I have had as my girlfriend" "Lets just make sure I am the last fan you have as your girlfriend" I tell him and he laughs. "Look guys I hate to break up this beautiful moment but I really need to close the club" We both turn and look at the poor manager that has had to sit through everything that happened and we laugh "I'm soo sorry, we will leave now" I tell him and go and get my purse. AJ and I walk out to his car and we go to his house and this time it's not the couch where I wake up in his arms.
