"I smell love in the airrrrrrrrrrr!" AJ sang as he walked behind Kevin and Howie who both threw their hand up into the air giving AJ the bird. "Oh, is that how you thank cupid?" he asked in a crushed voice. Brian and Nick were laughing so hard tears were streaming down their faces. "Love isn't in the air," Kevin informed AJ. "It's sexual tension." he said under his breath. "Well, I don't care what you say! I saw the way you were lookin' at pretty little Eve. My friend, that was love." AJ stated. "Ok, we can drop it now. Let's just see where things lead us this weekend." Howie said trying to kill the tension he felt between Kevin and AJ. "So, Nicky, how did Breanna look naked?" AJ asked. "WHAT!?" Nick screeched while Howie stopped in his tracks shooting a dead glare at Nick. "I saw you undressing her with your eyes when that skirt slipped off. Don't worry, we all did." AJ said as he and Brian started cracking up. "C'mon guys. You're gonna be late for rehearsal if ya don't get a move on!" Q called out as the guys piled into the limo.

Eve and Breanna took their seat at a nice little table in the middle of the dead restaurant. "You know what we need to do?" Eve told Breanna. "No, but I bet you're going to tell me." Breanna said as she took a sip of her water while scanning the menu. "We need to figure out who these guys are. They're on our floor, the most expensive floor in the hotel. They seemed to be protected by bodyguards too. I mean, that's kinda strange, isn't it?" She added. "Yeah? Well, I'm sure they have a million things they want to find out about us, too." Breanna stated. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Well, they have all weekend to find out." Eve said. She was on cloud nine. Kevin was the guy she had always dreamed about and so far he seemed very kind and charming. A little on the quiet side and definitely serious. He was ideal. Eve had had enough heartache with the men in her life. She was about to abandon them altogether. Her father had left her when she was 5, her first step-father was physically abusive until he was arrested when she was 9, her second step-father was the father she never knew but always wanted but he died when she was 14, and all of her boyfriends were reckless with her heart. She let men walk all over her until she realized that she wasn't getting anywhere with them. Her recent ex-boyfriend repeatedly abused her and even attempted to rape her once but stopped when he realized what he was doing to her. Eve never told Breanna for fear that Breanna's over-protective nature would send her off into a rampage. She knew Breanna would try to hunt down Skylar. Eve preferred never to see him again and made up a lie to Breanna saying that they decided to date other people. Eve decided to see how things went with Kevin but in the bottom of her heart she knew it was a waste of time. He probably lived in California and she would be leaving for Florida soon. It wouldn't be worth the heartache to start anything with him but she knew she had to try. She wanted to feel the love of a real man, someone who could protect her and love her for who she was even if it meant for only two days. "Eve?" Breanna asked carefully. "You ok?" "I'm fine, Breen." Eve said. "You haven't called me Breen in a long time. Eve, I've noticed in the past year that you've changed. You're the same Eve that I know and love but you're also a little distant. What's been going on with you? I'm your best friend, you know you can tell me anything." Breanna said. Eve was touched. "No, Breen, I'm fine. Just trying to adjust to being a real adult. I kinda liked being a young, silly girl with no responsibilities." Eve said. "Hmmm....I some how don't believe you, Eve, but I'll accept that answer for now." She cautioned Eve. Just then a waiter came over and took their orders.

Rehearsals for the guys went on like normal. AJ goofed around too much, Brian and Nick were constantly trying to out-do each other while Kevin and Howie took their work seriously, though Howie sometimes messed around with AJ too much. "Man, that was whack! I can't believe you forgot the words." Nick said to Brian who was playing around with the microphone stand. "I didn't forget the words. I got sidetracked cause you missed a few dance steps." Brian said as Nick tried to blow off the situation. "Ladies, let's calm down!" AJ said as he put his arms over his friends shoulders bringing them closer together. "Yeah, thanks AJ." Brian said as Nick tried not to laugh. "You guys ready to go? We don't need to rehearse this stuff. We've played this venue enough times to know the stage layout and we've sang these songs enough to sing them backwards and not forget a word." Kevin said. "Brian can't!" Nick joked. "Man, shuddup." Brian mumbled as he grabbed his water bottle. "So, we're going to the radio station next?" Howie asked. "Nah, let's stop at Mickey D's!" AJ shouted from the back of the stage as the guys started gathering their things to leave. "Ok, we're getting food and then we're heading on downtown. Q says there are already a few thousand fans gathered outside of the studio." Kevin said. "Oh man, so we're gonna have to open up a window to get into the building from the limo again?" Nick complained. "Yeah, that's what you're probably gonna do." Q informed the guys as they all headed to the limo. Kevin was the last one to enter the limo as he checked his clock. 8:15. A little less than two hours before he would be back at the hotel where Eve would be.

Eve and Breanna enjoyed a nice conversation over dinner. "We haven't talked this seriously since I don't know when." Breanna commented. "Uh, B, we were talking earlier today." Eve said. "No Eve, I mean really talked about us. Not about our guy problems or lack there of but of our lives or future and the guys." Breanna said in reference to Kevin and Howie. "Yeah, you're right." Eve said as she glanced at her watch. "So, what time is it?" Breanna asked. "A quarter 'til 9. I want to go upstairs in a few minutes and wait awhile before going out dancing. I can't believe how tired I am." Eve said. "Me neither but once we're out on the dance floor I'll be totally awake." Breanna said as she grabbed the bill and placed her Visa in it. "No, B, I'll get that. It's your birthday." Eve protested. "No, Eve, my birthday is tomorrow. Besides, my dad said he'll pay for part of this trip if I save my credit card receipts." Breanna said with a smile. "I'll take that for you, ladies." The waiter said. "He's kinda cute." Eve remarked to Breanna. "Yeah, I guess." Breanna said as she glanced around the hotel which was a lot busier now. "Breanna?? You're not checking out every guy like you normally do. Even when you were with Christian you stared and drooled." Eve joked. The mention of Christian showed on Breanna's face as she grimaced. Eve didn't seem to notice. "Howie must have really left his mark on you and you haven't even groped him yet!" Eve laughed. "Eve!" Breanna said in shock. "C'mon! You know it's true." Eve said. "haha, you're right." Breanna said quietly. "Here you go, ladies. Have a nice evening." The waiter said as he handed back Breanna's credit card and receipt which she put away in her wallet quickly. "Ok, let's go back up to our room." Eve said as both girls stood up and walked to the elevator arm in arm.

The radio interview went along uneventfully. They laughed and talked about the same ol' things that they always talked about. Who had girlfriends? Nick, and Brian. AJ made sure to tell everyone that Kevin and Howie met two remarkable young women that weekend and were very close to being taken off the market. What were their plans for the next few months? Possibly but doubtfully take a month break then head back into the studio to record new material and plan another tour. After a half an hour Kevin and Howie kept looking down at their watches in anticipation of leaving the radio station and head back to their hotel. AJ just couldn't contain his laughter. "Man, you two! Stop staring at your watches! You'll see the ladies soon enough." AJ said on the air. The look of horror splashed across Howie's face while annoyance was on Kevin’s. He and Kevin had to laugh. AJ was right. In his own little way, AJ was always right. Nick and Brian couldn't help but laugh. Seeing the two most serious guys in the band being on the edge of their seat was just too funny for them.

"Well, it's 9:30" Breanna commented to Eve as they sat on the couch channel surfing. "Nothings on, anyway." Breanna said. "Let's see what EmptyV is playing." Eve said to pass the time. "Look!" Breanna shouted. "That guy kinda looked like AJ! Oh, it's over!" She said disappointedly as the video faded out. "Oh well, it's over. C'mon B, let's get going downstairs." Eve said as she stood up and stretched. "Alright," Breanna said as she held her hand out. "Help me up, Eve." She said lazily. Breanna got up and stretched. Her shirt was a little too short when she put her arms up but she didn't mind. "I really want to get in a few good songs and maybe some drinks." Breanna said as she grabbed her security pass and room key. She placed them in her wallet. "You really want to see Howie is what you mean." Eve sighed. "Yeah, I do." Breanna said seriously. Eve put her arm around her friends shoulder. "I want to see Kevin. I got in maybe 10 words all together with Kevin but I already miss him. I think it's his presence." Eve stated. "Well, I have a funny idea. I'm not sure if you'll go for it." Breanna said as she touched up her lipstick in the mirror. "What is it? I'm afraid to ask." "Well, today is St. Patrick's day. No, you don't! Don't try to pinch me, Eve. Try to pinch Kevin." Breanna said as she jumped away from Eve's fingers in her attempt to pinch Breanna. "You're right! They weren't wearing green. None of them were!" Eve said. "I get to pinch AJ and Brian!" Breanna said as she claimed her men. "Oh, ok. I'll just settle for Nick and Kevin. Oh, let me pinch AJ, please?" Eve pleaded with Breanna. "Well, we can both pinch him, k? Knowing him, he wouldn't mind." Breanna stated. With that happy thought in mind, both girls ran out the door happy with their little plans for the night, wherever they may lead.
