AJ stepped out into the room, looking around him at the unfamiliar setting. He was here to meet his best friend since childhood, Jessica. The two of them hadn't seen each other in over ten years, so he didn't know what he was looking for- last he saw her, she was 5. So of course there would be a huge difference. Hopefully, anyway.

He walked past tons of girls until he came upon a lone blonde sitting in an armchair. Though he didn't know her, he definately wanted her. There was just something... more than her looks. He couldn't figure it out.

The girl looked up as he walked towards her. "AJ?" she asked. "My Jamesies?" He immediately knew who it was, and couldn't believe it. Sitting there was Jessica, his 16 year old best friend. And he wanted her-BAD.

"Messie Jessie?" he asked softly. She nodded, smiling. Then she jumped up and ran into his arms, hugging him tight. He sighed and inhaled the sweet scent of her perfume. "I missed you sweetie," he whispered.

"I have too" she exclaimed.

"You've grown up so much," he cried, looking her over. "You've become such a beautiful young lady!"

"Alex, stop it," she blushed. "You're just saying that because you have to."

"No, I'm not. I'm dead serious. You are gorgeous." he said faintly. She looked him in the eyes as if trying to uncover his true feelings. But she wasn't able to see past the seriousness in his gorgeous brown eyes. I never noticed how incredibly sexy his eyes are, she thought, thinking back to all the pictures in magazines and stuff where she had seen his face. But most of them he had sunglasses on, so she couldn't tell. "Hello? Anyone home?" he teasingly asked the spaced out girl.

Blushing she replied, "Yea sorry. Spaced out there."

"Where were you this time? Make it to Pluto?" he laughed. More like Planet Alexander James McLean she thought, laughing in response. "Ready to go home?" he asked.

"Yah," she replied, picking up her bag. Quickly they walked out of the boarding school to his car. She slid in, sighing in relief. "I am so glad to get out of there! You don't know how much it means to me Age."

"I don't mind at all hun, I'm glad to have you," he smiled at her before turning his eyes back to the road. Who woulda thought that my Messie Jessie would have grown up into such a beautiful woman? Just staring at her is turning me on...Uno problemo. She's 16. He sighed and glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.

"What's wrong, Age?" she asked softly, bringing his face to face her at a red light.

"Nothing sweetie." he said quickly and turned before he got lost in her eyes. She sighed and turned to look out the window. I can't like my best friend. It's impossible. AJ? He's just....then again, he sure has gotten sexy...WAIT! WhAT THE HELL AM I THINKING? Besides...I doubt if he'll like me as anything more than a friend.
