» CHAPTER THREE «

Alana wondered if AJ felt the same feelings towards her that she felt towards him. Probably not, she thought. She stepped out of the shower while wrapping a towel around herself. Alana picked out a short leopard printed tube-top with black dress pants and leopard printed sandals. Just as she was finished dressing, AJ walked in.

"Don’t you know how to knock?"

"Don’t you know how to dress? You look like a hooch!"

"God! You’re such a typical guy! I look good, it’s just that you have no sense of style!"

"I was kidding, you look good. I guess… And what the hell are you talking about? I have no sense of style? HA! That’s pretty damn funny. If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought you were serious!" AJ said looking down at his black and white plaid pants and the white wife-beater he was wearing. "Ok so I’m not in my best attire at the moment, but I am the best dresser you know, just admit it!"

"Whatever Liberace!" Alana burst out laughing.

AJ stuck his tongue out at Alana. Alana chose to ignore his childish gesture and started to line her lips with her favorite lip-liner.

"Good God Lanna! What’s wrong with you girl!? You can’t put crayon on your mouth!" AJ said laughing his ass off.

"It’s lipliner dumbass!"

"Sure it is. You know you secretly love to eat crayons. I see those scented ones under your bed!" AJ was practically rolling on the ground, laughing at his own remarks.

AJ hopped onto the bathroom counter watching her color her face. Alana began to apply her lipstick when AJ blurted out, "You aren’t putting that on right!" Alana was really getting annoyed by him now… AJ grabbed the lipstick and said, "Let me show you how to put on make up!"

"You can’t be serious, c’mon J, Steve is gonna be here in a little while and I need to finish getting ready."

"Just shut up, I’ll make you look beautiful...now make your face look like this…" AJ puckered his lips, and batted his long eyelashes.

"Oh screw you AJ, I don’t have time for this!"

AJ was about to apply the lipstick when she said that so instead of getting it on her lips, he drew a huge line on her cheek.

"What the-!!!!" yelled Alana.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! That’s how you put on make up!"

"You little sh*t!" screamed Alana. She grabbed another lipstick and gave AJ a little make over. He threw her on the bed and started to color her face, arms, teeth, everything!

*Ring...Ring……..Ring…Ring*

Alana kicked AJ off her and ran downstairs to the phone, with AJ right behind her. They both leaped for the phone, Alana tackling AJ, but AJ got there first.

AJ: Hello?

Brian: Hey Bone, wanna go to a club or somethin’? I asked Nick and he said no, being the hermit that he’s always been.

AJ: Yeah ok.

Brian: Alright I’ll be there to pick you at in 5. With that Brian hung up.

"Sh*t! I have 5 minutes to get ready!"

"Sh*t, Steve’s gonna be here and I’m not gonna be ready! Thanks J!"

"Hey it’s not all my fault!" AJ defended.

"I need to take another shower, I’m not going anywhere with all this crap on my face. So you need to get out."

"Awwww man, can’t I stay and watch, I mean it’s not like you have anything that I’ve never seen before." AJ had a devilish look on his face,

"Out!!! Get outta here perv!" Alana said pushing AJ outta of her room.

"Fine then, let’s see the next time I let you watch me take a shower!"

"EW! Please, that was sooo long ago, I couldn’t even talk to say that I didn’t want to take a shower with you! NOW OUT!!!"

The doorbell rang. It was Steve. AJ didn’t even bother to let the guy in the house, he just made him stand on the porch.

"OK listen up, this is the way it goes: you have my permission to take Alana out, but if I find out that you tried ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING," Brian had just pulled up and quietly stood behind Steve. AJ gave Brian the "just play along with it" look and continued, "You will be officially putting your life into mine and his hands!" AJ finished gesturing to Brian.

Steve turned around and looked wide-eyed at Brian, "Is this guy for real?" he asked.

In his deepest voice and sternest expression he answered, "DAMN STRAIGHT!" "Uhh… Alright I get it…" Steve said obviously very uncomfortable.

"Good!" said AJ. "Now on a more positive note, Alana is upstairs and will be down shortly. Until then you can wait for her in your car." Steve had a shocked expression on his face.

"He’s just kidding man, the living is over there," Brian said pointing to the direction of the living room. Without saying a word, Steve walked into the house and into the living room where he sat on the couch, still in shock.

"ROK!!! I wasn’t ‘just kidding’! I really wanted the bastard to wait in his car!" AJ said.

"Bone, we’re trying to scare him, not give him a heart-attack!"

"Yeah ok fine, geez you always ruin my fun!"

Brian just rolled his eyes, "You’ll thank me in the future when you and Alana are married and have 50 AJ Juniors!"

AJ gave Brian the "don’t start man" look. Brian put his hands in the air and took a step back… "Ok, ok… Anyways, why aren’t you ready? And who taught you how to apply make up?" Brian laughed.
