» CHAPTER TWO «

"Hi, AJ. I'm Summer Wright," she smiled suavely, extending her slender arm to shake his hand.

"My pleasure," he winked.

She smiled half-heartedly and picked up a People magazine, although she had already read every article in there at least once. She flipped through the pages and suddenly stopped when she caught a familiar face. She looked at the magazine then back up at the tattooed man across from her. Then, Summer pulled the magazine close to her face to examine the picture, and the caption. It read: 'AJ McLean of the musical group, Backstreet Boys, tees off while getting a rare free moment.' The picture was of AJ in a pair of tan khakis and a navy blue and white, stripped shirt, playing golf.

"Something wrong?" AJ asked, noticing how involved she was in the magazine.

"Uh, no!" She abruptly closed the magazine and returned it to the table.

"You sure? You looked a little confused."

"Yeah, I was…I don't understand those car magazines at all," she lied, pretending she had been reading from a different magazine.

"Right…" AJ grinned, knowing that she was lying. "So, are you from around here?"

"Yeah. You?"

"Yep."

"Okay, Miss uh.." the mechanic walked into the shop, fumbling for Summer's name.

"Wright. My last name is Wright," she came to the mechanic's rescue.

"Okay, Miss Wright, something is wrong with your car's transmission and it's leaking oil, so uh, I'll need to keep it for another day to fix it."

"Oh no…" Summer whined. "I am supposed to be somewhere in a couple of hours."

"Sorry ma'am. You can have the car back now, but it won't be fixed…" the mechanic gave her an ultimatum. Summer let out an exasperated sigh, not knowing what to do.

"Uhm," AJ coughed slightly standing up to enter the conversation. "If you wouldn't mind, I could carry you wherever it is that you need to go. I'm free tonight."

"Would I mind?! Are you kidding? I would love it!! Are you sure you don't mind?"

"Are you kidding? Driving around a lovely lady such as yourself and you ask if I mind…puleeze. Let's go." AJ put his arm around her tiny waist and led her out to his car.
