Brian felt Annie pull away from the kiss, "What's wrong?"
"Behind you! DUCK!" she yelled, then bent down, while Brian looked behind him and was greeted by a splash of water soaking him to the bone.
Annie looked up and had to cover her mouth to keep herself from laughing, "Oh my God! Brian why'd you look behind you?" she managed to say without laughing.
"Well, you said 'behind you' so I naturally looked behind me!"
"Didn't you hear me say duck?"
"Yeah, but I was expecting a duck to actually be there!"
Annie couldn't stop herself from giggling now, 'He actually expected a duck to be there?' she thought, "I meant duck as in get down!"
"And I guess you think is SO funny?" he asked wringing out his shirt.
"I'm sorry but you look......well, cute."
"Gee thanks," he said sarcastically.
The boat pulled into the dock and Brian got off, leaving Annie there. "Hey! Aren't you going to help me out?"
"Nope."
"And why not?"
He was acting like his feelings were hurt.
She rolled her eyes and laughed, "Your just a big baby." She said then got out of the boat.
She got to the car and Brian was already inside (still dripping wet) she went to open her door, but it was locked, so she knocked on the window.
Brian looked at her and mouthed 'Sorry, can't hear you'
She knocked harder, "BRIAN! Open the door! Come on!"
He smiled and started to drive off, "BRIAN!!!" After a few minutes of making Annie think he drove away he pulled up in front of her and auto unlocked her door.
Brian laughed at the mad look she had on her face.
"Aw, I'm sorry," he cooed.
"I hate this!"
"What?"
"That I can't stay mad at you!"
They both laughed and a couple of minutes later Brian pulled up to her house. "I really want to thank you for tonight, I had a great time!"
"I'm glad you did," he said and shook his head, "We're never going to forget this date!"
"Well, now I have something to tell my kids....My first date with a Backstreet Boy!" she laughed then realized what she said.
"How did you know who I was?"
"Well, my friend...at the bookstore, recognized you...I mean I like your music and all, but I never had time to learn to match up the faces to the names....not that I would though!"
"Oh, I would've rather told you, but what's done is done."
"Well, why didn't you tell me in the first place?"
"You know we have to be careful, I mean I wasn't sure whether you like me for me or for a Backstreet Boy."
"But you're sure now?"
He hesitated a few seconds, the biggest mistake of his life, "Yeah."
~Annie's view~
I was beyond pissed. I couldn't believe my ears! Not only did he think I would use him, but when I asked if he was sure he trusted me, HE HESITATED!!!
"Oh, let me get this straight, you thought I was a...how should I put this.....player? And when I asked if you trusted me now, you hesitated! What the hell was that?"
"Whoa, don't blow this out of proportion!"
"You know what? I don't feel like talking to you right now," I said, then got out the car and slammed the door. I think I saw Brian flinch.
~regular view~
She walked up to her tan and blue beach house. On her way in she passed by the living room and saw Lina sleeping on the couch with Titanic playing, surrounded by snickers wrappers and popcorn, she kicked over in her sleep. Annie walked over and cut off the TV and turned out the lights on her way upstairs to her room. Her purse ended up on the floor next to her shoes and she practically attacked her pillow, exhausted from the nights events, "Damn, I have to change," she said out loud to herself then got up and took off her dress replacing it with a Pooh Bear PJ set. She went in the bathroom and took off her make-up and brushed her teeth, she saw her message light on but ignored it, 'I'm too tired, I'll check them in the morning,' she thought then jumped in the bed. A few seconds later she opened her eyes, "Damn! That little blinking light, I can't sleep with it on!" she sighed and reach over to push play.
"You have...three...new messages" Beeeep
"Hey girlie!! Guess who this is? Tori!! Expect a surprise visit from you favorite cuz on Tuesday!..........SHIT! I just told you the surprise!! What would you say if I told you, you were getting sleepy....very sleepy.....You will forget everything your dumb cousin just told you and ruined her surprise.....very sleepy...OK I gotta go, see ya on Tuesday!! Buh-Bye!"
Beeeep
"Hey sissy! WUZ UP? I be checkin yo on spring break chicaz, senoritaz, steppin on mah filaz!! Just wanted to let you know I'll be seeing you soon! Peaze out!"
Annie smiled, "He always could make laugh."
Beeeep
"Um, Annie if you're there pickup. Please....I'm sorry, I don't even know what I did, well.....I hope I'll see you tomorrow, call me please at 738-2132."
She took a deep breath and attempted to go to sleep again, about an hour later she woke up. "Mmgghmmm" she mumbled and looked at the clock, "3:30 in the morning! And it's Saturday! UGH!" she got of bed anyway for some reason she was really thirsty. She was about to go down the stairs when she thought she heard someone, 'Nah, just my imagination,' she thought and started to go downstairs again when she heard another noise except this one was louder. She ran straight to Lina's room, since it was the closest and leaned up against the door.
"What are you doing you in here?"
"AHHH!"
Lina sat up in her bed, "WHAT?!"
Annie gripped her chest, "Jesus, Lina you gave me a heart attack, I thought you were down stairs!"
"Well, I woke up and moved up to my room! But why are you in here?"
She remembered why she was in there in the first place, "Shhh!!! I heard someone downstairs, I think someone is breaking in!" Annie whispered.
"Are you sure?" Lina whispered back.
"Yes! I heard a big crash!"
"Well, go do your judo chop and get the robber!
"Me! Why should I go?"
"You're the one taking karate!"
"Yeah, well..."
"Hmmm?"
"Oh shut-up! OK I'll go, but get your baseball bat and wait at the top of the stairs and if I scream come down and hit him."
"Why can't I just stay safe in here and call 911 instead?"
She looked at her, "Lina!"
"OK, ok" she said then got her bat and gave a screwdriver to Annie. "What the hell am I supposed to do with this? Screw him to death?"
"Um, I'm sure he would like that," Lina snickered.
Annie thought a minute, "You know what I meant! And remember somebody is trying to kill us, so stop making jokes!"
"He's not trying to kill us, now GO!"
Annie walked slowly down the stairs, minus the screwdriver. She reached the bottom and looked around, but didn't see anybody. There were dirty foot prints on the mat by the door, 'Oh God!' she thought. Then walked into the living room and cut on the light, she let out a sigh of relief when she saw no one in there. She crept further in and saw the closet door slightly cracked, 'Damn!' she tiptoed over and got in ready position for if she opened the door and someone came out, 'One....two....three!' she counted mentally and swung the closet door to open." HA CHA!" she kicked a coat hanging up. "Oh thank God," she breathed. 'Just the kitchen now,' she thought then walked into the kitchen and turned on the lights. "Hmm, nobody here." She was about to go upstairs to tell Lina everything was clear when a strong hand grabbed her behind and covered her mouth so she couldn't scream.
