Chapter Eight:
Ali smiled back at Kevin as her drink arrived.  "I got that," Kevin said.

"Kev, you don't,"

"No, I wanted a drink myself," Kevin cut her off by saying.  "A Bloody Mary, please.  And add her drink to the total."  Kevin looked at Ali, who was standing in front of him in with a confused look on her face, and said, "Don't worry about it.  You can get the next one, if you want."

"Okay," Ali said, shaking her head in what seemed like disbelief.  Kevin shook it off and started talking to Howie and Ali began talking to Jamie.

"James, what is up with this?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Jamie replied innocently.

"You know very well what I'm talking about, what the hell is Kevin doing?  And why did he shake his head 'yes' at Howie?"

"I have no idea," Jamie said, taking a sip of her Pina Colada.

Well, she's not going to tell me anything, or warn me about anything, for that matter, Ali thought as she heard a song she loved come over the sound system.

****************************************************************

"When did they say they'd play it?" Howie asked Kevin.

"After this song," Kevin said, taking a sip of his drink, and at the same time, staring at Ali from over his glass.

"Awww, Kevy-Kev's falling in love," Howie gushed a little too loudly for Kevin's taste.

"D, you want the entire club to find out?  You wanna wake the dead for that matter?  Jeez, Howie, subtlty, it's a concept, learn it," Kevin said, obviously growing frustrated with his friend's bluntness.

"Sorry man," Howie said, "but you're being so obvious.  I'm surprised Ali hasn't found out you like her yet."

"Yeah, she'll know after tonight," Kevin replied, setting his gaze on Ali and never looking away.

"Kev, hel-lo?  Are you in your own little Ali-World or something?  It's on, go ask her to dance."

"Huh?  Oh, okay." 
God, I hope this works.

***************************************************************

"Oh, Sprung!  I love this song!" Ali exclaimed as she heard the opening notes of her favorite song, sung by Nu Flavor.

"You do?  Well, let's dance," Kevin said, walking up behind her.

"Sure," Ali said brightly.  "James, watch my drink, ok?"

"Okay.  Have
fun, Ali!" Jamie said as Kevin took Ali's hand and led her to the dance floor.

***************************************************************

"You used to be this little girl around the way, but you've gorwn up and now you got me feeling things.  Your body's talking, and that's no lie, and I've been waiting for the subject to arise," Kevin sang along with the song.  Is there something I should be thinking now?  Is he singing this FOR me?  God, I hope so.

"No use in trying to keep my secret from you, girl I can't hide it, you know I can't fight it.  So if you feel a little poke coming through, baby, tell me what can I do, I'm crushing on you." With the word you, Kevin pointed at Ali.  Oh, my Lord, he is singing it for me.  I never imagined he would be sing this to me, okay, so I did, but that's beside the point.  Never thought it'd actually happen.  Now what do I do?

"Tell me baby, how can I get down with you, your body's taking to me, my body's talking to you.  Oh tell me baby, what am I supposed to do, can't you see what you've done, the damage is done, I'm sprung.

"Maybe I'll call a physic on the telephone, so she can tell me how to get you all alone.  I need a gypsy to come around, spell up a potion that will cool my body down.

"I'm burning up, you know my body's on fire.  Just hold me close, you can feel my desire.  It's only natural for my nature to rise, I fell under your spell, oh, baby, when I looked in your eyes,"
Kevin sang, and looked straight into Ali's eyes.  From that moment on, Ali couldn't hear the song, what Kevin was singing, or the croud around them.  All she cared about was looking into Kevin's blue-green eyes.

Unfortunately for Kevin and Ali, Ali's overprotective cousin finally tracked them down and found Jamie and Howie staring at a couple on the dance floor.  A.J. didn't bother asking who, he knew it was Kevin and Ali.  He looked at Kevin holding his cousin, and he nearly had a heart attack.  He was thisclose to hauling off and punching Kevin in the face, for acting like that around his baby cousin.  But he spared Kevin the inconvience, and forced himself to watch his baby cousin dance with one of his best friends. 
What the hell happened to Kristin? A.J. thought as Kevin pulled Ali in closer.  Wasn't it a month ago that he was bawling his eyes out over her?  What the hell happened to 'I lost her, my life is over,' and 'there's no way I could ever get that close to someone ever again'?  Apparently, he doesn't mind being that close to my little cousin.  And I don't like how close they are, not at all.
