“So, what do you think about her?” Kevin asked the guys eagerly, hoping they liked her.
“Honestly?” AJ asked.
“Yeah, honestly!”
“She’s either too defensive or she’s a stuck-up brat.” AJ replied while sipping his coffee.
“Cut her some slacks, she’s just tired. She basically drove all the way here by herself! Believe me, once you get to know her, you’ll love her!” Kevin exclaimed, not realizing that Angela was standing at the doorway with some change clothes in her hands.
“I was wondering where the towels are...” She said slowly.
“It’s in the closet next to the bathroom, nevermind, I’ll show you.” Kevin stood up and Angela followed him.
“She’s just shy.” Krystina commented. “More coffee?” She offered, trying to lighten up the mood.
“Nah, I better get going, it’s getting late!” Howie smiled, thinking about his beautiful girlfriend - Vickie. They’ve been going together for months, and Howie’s actually considering spending the rest of his life with her. He waved good-bye as he exited the room.
“What do you think of that chick Angela?” AJ asked Nick, who’s apparently in la-la land.
“What? Oh, yeah, I think it would be great to have us playing instruments on our next album.” Nick answered, seeing the amusement on AJ face, he knows that he said something wrong.
“That’s a good idea, Nicky, but I asked what do you think of Angela...”
“She’s great! Nice girl.” Nick grinned, remembering the faint scent of herbal shampoo in her hair.
“Someone got a crush!” Brian said in a singsong voice.
“I’m not!” Nick objected.
“You’re not what?” Angela asked, appearing at the living room door, she took a quick shower and now wearing an oversized shirt which Brian recognized as Kevin’s.
“Nothing, I’m not nothing.” Nick laughed, hoping that she wouldn’t sense the nervousness in his voice.
“Sure...” Brian grinned, gave Angela a funny look.
“Okay then, night.” She turned around.
“Hey, Angel?” Kevin yelled.
“Yes?”
“I talked to your dad while you’re in the shower, and he’s sorry for what he did.” Kevin said.
“He told you what he did?” Angela began to wonder if Kevin knows about the part where her dad tried to rape her.
“Yeah, he’s sorry that he gambles, and he’ll try to quit, but he needs you by his side to support him. That’s why I booked 3 tickets for you, me, and Nick to go back to Nevada tomorrow morning.” Kevin suggested cheerfully.
“You did WHAT?” Angela screamed at the top of her lungs.
