Chapter Six, Getting Ready Is Fun |
"Oh my god!" Eve screamed as she ran upstairs. "BREANNA!!!" Eve shouted as she missed the last step and fell on her face in front of Breanna's door. Breanna opened the door laughing. She too, fell on the floor but from laughter. "Girl, you ok?" She asked Eve. "I'm fine. And nice of you to ask *after* you stopped laughing." Eve said as she pushed her hair out of her face and checked the rug burn on her hip. "That's what you get for wearing such a short towel and robe." Breanna explained. "Yes, but it got Howie's attention for you, didn't it, B?" Eve shot back. "Yes, it did." Breanna said as she started to think about the turn of events that had unfolded in the last hour. Her ex-boyfriend of 14 months committed suicide, she was accepted by the UCF's Graduate School with her best friend, they had an amazing house to live in at the same time with no rent or major bills to pay, and the guy who took her breath away in the middle of nowhere was now staying on her floor, and he was actually in her kitchen while she was in a bathrobe. A smile crept across Breanna's face again but at the same time the feeling of guilt over Christian. "There's nothing I can do about a person who's already dead, I'll deal with it when I get home, I just hope he's happier where he's at," Breanna thought to herself as she picked herself up off the floor. "Damn girl! Don't just stand there looking down. Help me up." Eve yelled at Breanna.
"Ok, explain what that was all about?" Howie asked AJ curiously. "Let's see if I can sum this up. I never got their ages, what they are doing here, if they are fans or not but I'm assuming not, and how long they plan on staying here but I did find out why they were screaming." AJ said quickly as he ticked everything off his fingers. "Ok, why?" Howie asked as they walked back into AJ's room next door. "Breanna, your girl, and Eve, Kevin's girl, just got accepted to that huge graduate school in Orlando. At the same time one of their cousins, I think it was Breanna's if I remember correctly, is leaving to Europe and basically giving them her house. Ok, that sums it up." AJ finished. "Oh, okay. So that's why they were so happy. But they didn't seem to recognize us or anything?" Howie wanted to know. "No, D, they didn't. Well, they recognized me from McDonald's and of course Beautiful Breanna recognized you..." AJ started to explain as they walked into his room. "She did?" Howie interrupted. "Yes she did. And it wasn't Brian she was checking out either. It was you, D. Brian, you were right. Pay up, D!" AJ said pointing at Brian who was on his cellphone. "Haha, man I told ya!" Brian said as he covered up the receiver. Howie was attracted to the girl but he didn't recognize her with her hair up and with little clothing but she was still cute. "Are you sure it was her?" Howie asked as he grabbed his room key off AJ's kitchen table. "Yes D. Why do you think she screamed when she turned around and saw you standing there?" AJ called to Howie as he was leaving AJ's room to go back to his own. "See ya!" Howie yelled. "Later, man!" The other two called.
"Eve, get your ass in here and help me find something to wear!" Breanna yelled down the hall to her friends room. "Coming!" Eve yelled back. "Ok, Breanna, what kind of look are you going for tonight? Slutty? Sophisticated? Or Tastefully Tacky?" Eve asked. "How about sophisticated with a slutty touch?" Breanna joked to her friend. "Ok, all set. A short mini skirt, a nice low-cut shirt and a wonderbra!" Eve said as she rummaged through Breanna's closet. Eve pulled out Breanna's black mini-skirt that had a slit going all the way up to the hip bone, a baby blue body-hugging v-neck, and Breanna's black wonderbra. "Ok, let's pick out some shoes..." Eve said while Breanna sat at the edge of her bed going over her outfit for the night. It sounded slutty when she tried to describe it over the phone to Eve when she first bought it but it really wasn't. It looked very nice and perfect for clubbing. "How about these black clogs?" Eve asked. "I don't know, E, I kinda wanted to have a few drinks." Breanna said while in deep thought. "Right, ok...!" Eve said as she went back into the closet. "Ok, these!" Eve said as she held up Breanna's favorite pair of black sandals that had two inch squared heels. "Those are perfect!" Breanna said as she grabbed her outfit and threw it on. "Hey Eve, what do I wear with this? G-string or nothing?" Breanna jokingly asked. "Your new black g-string." Eve said. "Ok, how does this outfit look?" Breanna asked Eve. "Oh wow, B! If we run into Howie tonight, you just may get lucky!" Eve smiled. "No, I don't think so. I'm going to try and find something that works out for the better. No more playing games. I've played them for far too long. If he wants to have a fling this week then he'll have to find another girl." Breanna stated as she rubbed lotion into her legs. "Wow girl! You're serious?" Eve questioned her best friend. "Totally!" She tossed over her shoulder as she walked into the bathroom to finish getting ready. "Well, it's 6 o'clock. You wanna go and get something to eat?" Eve asked Breanna. "When I'm finished. Give me ten minutes!" Breanna yelled from the bathroom. "Ok, hurry!" Eve said impatiently. She had been ready for the past 15 minutes.
"Hey AJ! Let us in!" Kevin said pounding on the door. "I'm comin', I'm comin'!" AJ yelled as he came flying down the stairs. "Hey Kev and Chaos!" AJ said in a high-pitched voice. He was proud of himself for making their names sound good together. "Hey..." Nick and Kevin said together as they walked in and plopped down on the couch. "So, guys? What are our plans for tonight?" AJ asked curiously. "We don't know yet, why?" Kevin asked. "Well, I know two beautiful ladies next door who may be interested in hanging out tonight." AJ said as he walked into the kitchen. "You guys thirsty?" AJ asked. "No, man, I'm kew." Nick answered. "Two? Who, Bone? And, toss me a coke!" Kevin yelled. "Oh I don't know. These two ladies sure got Howie's attention, or at least the one in blue did." AJ said as he tossed Kevin the coke. "What!" Kevin yelled back as he dropped the coke. "Haha! That's the exact reaction I was lookin' for!" Brian said as he walked down the stairs. "Yeah, Kev, the famous McDonald's ladies are next door. Even your precious one in yellow. By the way, her name is Eve." AJ said grabbing a seat on the stairs next to Brian. "Except our man AJ here was lucky today. He got to see them in their towels." Brian said nudging his friend in the arm with his elbow. "You did?" Nick asked. "Yeah, too bad D didn't get there until after they put on their bathrobes." AJ said disappointedly. "What else?" Kevin asked casually as he took a sip of his coke. "Well, they're moving..." Brian started but AJ quickly covered his mouth. "Nah man, I think I'll let you figure the rest out." AJ said. "I think D's at the door." Brian noted. "Yeah, I'll get it." Nick said. "Hey D! I heard you saw your lady today." Nick said as he pounded his friend on the back. Brian and AJ started to crack up. "Yeah, and the funniest thing was when Breanna, the one who was in blue...." AJ said to Kevin to help tell the girls apart "...didn't see Howie walk into the room. When she turned around she screamed and almost freaked out our friend D over there." AJ said as Brian started cracking up again while imagining the entire scene. "It wasn't that bad." Howie said trying to downplay the entire event. "She just didn't see me. I think I scared her, that's all. But she wanted to kill you!" Howie said to AJ. "Yeah, only because I didn't tell her that you were there. She kinda has the hots for our boy, D." AJ stated. "Oh!" Kevin and Nick said at the same time. "Ok, we'll see them later. For now we really should get going to rehearsal." Kevin stated. "Ok, let's go!" AJ said as he got up to stretch. "Everyone make sure you have your security passes, room keys and whatever else we need!" Kevin said reminding the guys. "Yeah we got 'em." Nick called back annoyed as the guys walked towards the door.
"Are you ready yet?" Eve yelled from downstairs. "Yeah, I'm coming!" Breanna shouted as she ran down the stairs. "How do I look?" Breanna asked as she turned around a few times so her friend could check out her outfit. "Geez, girl. You'll definitely find a few good men tonight, if ya know what I mean." Eve said. "Ok, what about me?" Eve asked. "Dang Eve, a long black skirt?" Breanna asked casually. "Yes, watch!" Eve said as she tugged on her black skirt. It came off with no problems to reveal her much shorter skirt underneath. "Oh I love that idea! Hold on!" Breanna shouted as she ran upstairs to grab her long skirt. "Ok, now we'll look wonderful tonight!" Breanna mussed. "Ok, so we're ready for sure? Room keys, wallets, security passes, extra makeup, cellphones?" Eve asked as she went down the list. "No, no cellphone for me tonight." Breanna commented as she turned the door knob. "Oh, ok. You're right." Eve said as she tossed her phone onto the couch. "Ok, now we're ready!" Eve said.
"Ok, let's go." Breanna said as she shut the door not realizing that she got her long skirt caught in it. "Oops, I think you have a problem there, beautiful." AJ commented as he walked down the hall with the rest of the guys. "Huh?" Breanna replied as she took a step towards him. Her long black skirt came off to reveal the much shorter skirt. "No, I was wrong. You don't have a problem." AJ said laughing to himself as he walked up to Breanna and gave her a quick peck on the cheek. "Thanks." Breanna said smiling to AJ while glancing over his shoulder to see a not-so-happy looking Howie. "Hey Howie." Breanna replied. "Hi, B!" He said happily as she reached to give him a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for checking on us today." Breanna said to both guys. "Hi, I'm Breanna." she said as she walked up towards Brian. "You must be Brian." She said with a wink. He laughed, "yeah, that would be me." "Ok, let me try to figure out everyone's name." Breanna said. "I know who AJ, Howie, and Brian are. I'm guessing you're Kevin, and I'm really sorry! I forgot your name." Breanna said looking apologetically to Nick. "I'm Nick." He said holding out his hand. "And, by the way, this skirt looks a lot better." Brian looked at Nick in shock. He had never been that forward to a girl he barely met. "Thanks Nick..." Breanna said. "...but we were about to go out to dinner and we didn't want to look, um..." Breanna started. "Slutty." Eve finished. "We're going dancing at the club afterwards so that's the reason for the shorter skirts." Eve said. "Hello, Eve!" AJ said as he leaned over to kiss her on the cheek. "Hi, AJ, how are you?" Eve asked. "Never better!" He replied "Ok, let's finish the introductions in the elevator. I'm sure we're all going down and Howie did say that you had to be somewhere around 7." Breanna stated as she walked to the elevator. "Hello, Mark!" She said to the security guard. "Hello, miss Breanna." He said smiling. The elevator doors parted to reveal two heavy looking guys. "Ready to go?" They seemed to be asking the guys. "Yeah, we're ready to roll!" AJ said as they all entered the elevator. Eve shot Breanna a questioning glance. Breanna only shrugged her shoulders in response. "So, who might you be?" Kevin asked Eve. "I...I'm..." Eve started. "Eve." Breanna finished giving AJ a knowing glance. Breanna felt someone staring at her and turned to her left to see Howie. "What's wrong?" She asked him quietly. "Um, I should ask you the same thing." He said back to her. "What?" She asked. "Oh, sorry. You just look kind of sad." Howie said. Breanna leaned in closer to him. "Do I?" She said in a quiet voice. "Uh huh." He said. Little did they realize that the entire elevator was listening in on their conversation. All four of the other guys including Eve had a knowing smile on their face. "So, what's wrong?" He urged. "Um, nothing. Talk to you later about it...maybe." She cautioned him. "Ok." He said sounding pleased. In the back of the elevator she could hear Kevin and Eve talking about their plans for the evening. Eve said little. "What are you ladies doing tonight?" He asked. "Dinner and the club. We're too tired from the trip to do much else." Eve replied. They locked eyes for a quick second but quickly looked away when the realized everyone was looking at them. Just then the elevator doors opened. "Well, this is were we part." AJ said in a fake voice that sounded like he was crying. Breanna and Eve started laughing with the rest of the guys. "Ok, well, we'll see you guys later. Nice meeting you all!" Eve shouted as she and Breanna walked towards the restaurant. "You too!" The guys shouted back at different times. Howie couldn't stop staring at Breanna. "Bye." She whispered to him. He was too far away to hear her but he read her lips. This would definitely be a terrific weekend, he thought. Kevin had the same idea.
