Chapter Two, An Hour To Go

 

Breanna was getting tired of driving in the bright March sun. "It's never been this warm in March before " she said to Eve. "Yeah, I know. Maybe we should strip off our clothes" she said with a giggle. "Whoa Eve! You're not an exhibitionist" Breanna told her. "No, but for that hottie back there I would have been!" Eve said. "You're still thinking about him? He was hot and all but you've never spent more than 5 minutes thinking about a guy you didn't know" Breanna said. "Yeah I know, but my God, did you see the body he had? If he didn't have a willie, I'd still do him. He was *that* hot" Eve said while gazing out the window. "Um, girlfriend, how do you expect to do him without, ya know, his equipment?" Breanna said laughing hysterically. "Oh right. hehehe, I didn't think about that" Eve replied. "That's ok, girl. That's why I luv ya. You make me look like Einstein." Breanna told her. "Haha, very freakin' funny. Speaking of Einstein, have you heard from that University in Florida about transferring yet?" Eve asked. "Not a word. I'm starting to wonder why. I mean, I'm 21, I almost have my bachelors degree and I have an excellent GPA. I'm wondering what the hold up is." Breanna had wanted to go to school in Florida ever since she could remember. She used to visit her family every summer vacation and she fell in love with the place. Right after their high school graduation, Breanna dragged Eve out with her for three months. Eve, too, fell in love with Florida and the many hot guys they came across. "So, have you heard anything yet?" Breanna asked Eve. "Me neither. That's why I was asking you. Anyway, if you had heard anything, I would have been the first person you called" Eve said assumingly. "Yeah right, Eve. What makes you think I would have called you first?" Breanna joked back. Eve looked a little hurt. "Sorry, Eve. I was kidding" she said. "No, it's not what you said. That guy back at McDonald's was...." "Oh no you don't! You are not going to be thinking about *that* guy this entire week! You'll probably never see him again so let's not dwell on it. Anyway, he was probably a jerk or something." Breanna said. "Ok, ok. I won't let a totally, hot, gorgeous, sexy, man ruin my week in the lap of luxury. Speaking of which, how the hell did we pay for this hotel suite anyway?" Eve asked. "Well, my parents are paying for two nights. That lottery ticket I had was worth $2000 so I saved that money for this trip. It's probably the only time I will ever win any money from the lottery so I'm putting it to good use. You're paying for a night. And I saved last years birthday and Christmas money. All together the room is paid off for seven days plus our gambling, drinks, and food money. Don't worry, girl. I have it all planned out" Breanna explained. "So, this is the only reason you're going to business school? To make sure you could budget a trip to Vegas for a week?" Eve jokingly asked. "Ha, ha, Eve. You know me too well" Breanna said.

Back on the bus Kevin and Howie were talking about the upcoming concert. "Ok, so we're doing a small concert in two nights, then we have the next five days off to do what we want? Do I have it right?" Howie asked. "Yeah, D. That's the plan. It's about time we had some serious fun. It's been work, work, work. I love to work, ya know that, but I think it's getting to me. I'm probably gonna stay 'n Vegas for our last five days before heading home back into the studio. I wanna get in a little gambling and see some shows. It seems like every time we come here, we never have time to enjoy it" Kevin explained to Howie. "Kev, we never have time. I think Nick is probably gonna go back to Tampa to see his girlfriend, though. So, it'll be just us four" Howie assumed. "Maybe guys," Brian interrupted. "I might go back with Nick, I'm not sure yet" he finished. "But B, Nick's too young to gamble so he has a reason to go back. Just stay out here with us. I can't believe I'm asking *you* to stay and have fun. This is a hell of a role reversal" Kevin said laughing. "Man, you're right!" Brian said cracking up. "Yeah, I guess I'll stay. Anyway, Nick's not certain if he's gonna go back to Tampa or not. There's a lot of things he can do out here. It's not like we're gonna be glued to the slot machines or anything" Brian said. "That's what you think, B" AJ said as he casually walked past Brian to the back of the bus with two soda's in hand. "Oh man, somethin' tells me we're gonna be throwing AJ into a lot of cold showers to sober him up" Brian said while picturing the scene in his head. "It's his twenty first birthday all over again!" Brian fell to the floor cracking up. "Hey Frick, how much did ya have to drink today?" Nick said laughing as he came from the back of the bus. "Nuttin' honey!" Brian shot back from the floor. "You've been laughing a lot more than normal" Nick replied. "Is that possible?" Howie asked as he walked to the bathroom. "So, Nick. Ya gonna stay in Vegas with the rest of us or are ya gonna let your girlfriend wrap you around that pretty little finger of hers?" AJ asked as he walked back towards the front of the bus. "No, man. No girl has me whooped. It's the other way around, and yeah, I guess I'll stay in Vegas. Might as well try to have some fun before it's back to the studio." Nick answered. "Good for you. Trust me, you won't regret it," AJ commented, "beautiful ladies everywhere! Even if you have a girlfriend, you can still look, you just can't touch." "Yeah, man. I saw some back at McDonalds..." Nick was beginning to say. "No, man, those chicks are Howie and Kevin's" AJ said laughing. "Shuddup, Bone!" Howie yelled from the bathroom. "Huh?" Nick asked. "Howie and Kevin picked up chicks at McDonalds?" "No, blonde boy! They just popped boners when the ladies walked by" AJ said nonchalantly. "I can picture it!!!" Brian said, still on the floor. "Yo, somethin's up with B!" AJ yelled. "Nah, man, I'm fine. It's just a good day, ya'll." Brian replied. "This is going to be one interesting vacation" Nick joked as he walked to the back of the bus to join AJ in some Play Station. "I'm gonna whoop yo ass, Bone!" he shouted. "Yeah, sure, Nicky! Uh huh." AJ said as he messed up Nick's hair with his hand.

"Turn it down! Turn it down!" Breanna shouted to Eve. "What? Oh, okay" Eve said as she lowered the radio. "It's my cellphone. Check caller ID cause I don't feel like talking to anyone right now. You know who I'm talking about" Breanna said as she checked her side view mirror while switching lanes. "Yeah, it's Christian. You don't want to talk to him? I thought you two were still friends?" Eve asked. "I don't like talking while I drive. Let it go to voicemail" Breanna said. She became very serious all of a sudden. "Okay, B." Eve said as she shrugged off her friends attitude . "So, whatever happened to you two? I'm your best friend but when it comes to you and guys, you clam up and never say a word. You only inform me when you break up with them" Eve commented. "Or when they break up with me" Breanna said. "No, B, I've never met any of your ex's who could look me in the face to tell me that they dumped you. It's always 'Eve, why did she leave me?' or 'Eve, she doesn't love me anymore. She just said it was over without an explanation'" Eve complained. "Sorry, girl. I just don't feel like talking about it. I just don't like relationships" Breanna tried to explain. "Oh, but you would have had a relationship with that cutie back at McDonald's" Eve joked to lighten the tension "Oh hell yeah!" Breanna shouted while turning the stereo back up. "I think I'm paranoid! And complicated!!!" They both sung while listening to Garbage. "Shirley Manson kicks some major ass!" Breanna shouted over the stereo. "You got that right!" Eve shouted back. "How long until we get to Vegas?" she asked. "Twenty more minutes!" Breanna said. "Wooohooo!!!!!!" both girls screamed. They were all of a sudden filled with excitement over their week long and well deserved vacation.

"Where's Brian?" Howie asked Kevin. "I think he passed out from over excitement. He's just all crazy today." Kevin told Howie. "Oh, he's sleeping like a beautiful, innocent angel" AJ jokingly cooed while pulling back the curtains to Brian's bunk. "Hey man, I'm tryin' to sleep!" Brian shouted at AJ. "C'mon guys! Let's not get into it now. We're almost there. Let's try and make this a peaceful vacation" Howie tried to reason. "I was just trying to joke around with grumpy over there" AJ said while pointing to Brian's bunk. "We all might as well try to take a small nap cause we still have 40 minutes to go" Kevin said. "Yeah, I'm off. Wake me when we get there" Howie said as he climbed into his bunk. "Yeah, me too!" Kevin yelled to the back of the bus where he could hear the guys arguing. "Man, that wasn't fair! You know I don't play this game as much as you do. Shit, you're practically married to it!" AJ argued with Nick. "Haha, man! That's yo fault. You're the one who challenged me, the almighty king of video games." Nick yelled back. A few minutes passed before Nick spoke up. "So, they're taking a nap?" Nick asked quietly. "Yeah" AJ commented as he leaned over to reset the game. "hmmmm" Nick mumbled. "Yo, man. What are you up to?" AJ asked with a wicked grin on his face. "Just thinkin'." Nick replied. "Well, whatever it is, I'm all game. Brian's in a bad mood and Kev and D are all serious today" AJ complained. "Whatever it is, if you try anything, you're both dead!" Kevin shouted from the front of the bus. "SHIT!" AJ and Nick yelled in unison. "Oh well...another game, bone?" Nick asked as he grabbed his controller.
