~ Brian ~

 "Brian," Amanda called out, "I can't see your butt that well."

I turned around, saw her laughing, and smiled. I turned back around and wiggled my butt as I stuck it out farther. Then, I bowled a strike.

"Hey, that was awesome!"

I went up to her and patted her arm. "Thanks for the tip. It worked well."

"Shut up." She laughed as AJ made a face at my back. "You might want to turn around."

I turned around just in time to see AJ making a face. "I'll beat you this game."

"You wish." AJ bowled a strike.

 "That was fun," Tiffany said as we all left the bowling alley.

"Fun's not over, yet." Nick got in the van.

AJ, Brian, Howie, Kevin, and I got in the van. My mom, Tiffany, Leslie, Angel, and Aaron got in the Explorer.

"So, where we goin'?" I asked from the backseat between Brian and AJ.

"Surprise," Howie answered as he drove.

"I really do like your tattoo," Brian whispered in my ear.

"Really? It took two hours," I whispered back. I looked at the tattoo and then back at Brian.

"I wonder what I'd look like with one," Brian said.

"Well, let's see." I took a fake mindhi tattoo out of my wallet. "These are for Angel."

Brian lifted his tanktop and I put one on him. He laughed as I did it.

"Stop moving," I scolded.

"Sorry, it tickles." Brian looked at it. "What do you think?"

"No. I don't think so. I think if any one of you guys got one, it should be AJ." I took the tattoo off of Brian with an alcohol pad.

"Try it," AJ said as he unbuttoned the bottom of his shirt.

"Definitely," I said after I put one on him.

"Can I keep this?" AJ looked at it.

"Sure. I don't want it," I replied.

"You know, I wasn't sure if I'd like a tattoo on a girl. Well, now I know that I kind of like it." Brian looked at my tattoo again.

"Really?" I asked.

"Your tattoo's cute on you," Brian whispered. "Although, I thought your tummy was cute without one, too."

I blushed and looked out the window. I wasn't comfortable with his comments. I wasn't sure what he meant by them. I wasn't sure if I wanted to know. All I knew is that I wasn't ready for his new behavior towards me.

 The drive was silent between Amanda and I the rest of the way. When we arrived at the club, she got out of the van and didn't even acknowledge me. AJ took her arm and led her inside with us.

"What is up with you two?" Howie asked me.

"I don't know. I'm not sure." I looked across the dance floor at AJ and Amanda.

"Did you say something to her?" Nick asked.

"I really don't know what I did wrong, Frack. I like your sister a lot. I don't know how to act around her right now. It seems like whatever I do either embarrasses her or pushes her away from me. We're best friends. I don't want to lose her." I looked at Nick.

"Frick, you gotta forget about it. My sister is moody sometimes. She'll come round. Don't worry about it. Besides, there's a gorgeous blonde at the table right there looking at you." Nick pointed over to a table not far from AJ and Amanda.

"I don't know..." I looked from Amanda to the blonde.

"Do it. It's not like you're tied down to anyone. Man, she's got an eye on you."

"All right. I'll go ask her to dance," I said as I headed over to the blonde.

~ Amanda ~

 I watched as Brian came over to this side of the room. My heart skipped, but soon flopped when I saw him approach a gorgeous blonde woman. She had to be at least 23. He asked her to dance and they both headed out onto the floor not far from AJ and me.

I kept glancing at him as AJ and I danced. I don't know what I was thinking. I was only best friends with him. I didn't like him as more. Did I? I couldn't help the feelings of rejection and jealousy I was feeling.

"Where are you?" AJ asked me.

"What?" I asked as I looked at him.

"Where did you go off to? I went from talking to you, to talking to myself." AJ looked in the direction I was looking. "You like him, don't you?"

"I don't know, J. I'm confused right now about that." I looked at AJ.

AJ had a concerned look on his face. "What were you thinking about just now?"

"That I was rejected and I was getting jealous."

"Why would you be jealous?" AJ asked as he looked me in the eye.
