| Chapter 55: Again? The next morning they all hopped onto the bus, with the guys joining them as well. This was a usual routine. Sometimes they would all crowd onto one bus, or split up into couples. This time, they were all on the girls� bus, trying to enjoy the ride to the next show. �God I love the desert,� Kevin sighed as he rested his head against Laura�s. �Maybe we can get a house here someday.� �And melt in this heat? Looks like you�ll be living alone baby boy,� Laura laughed. �Personally, I love somewhere where I can get on my Jet Ski and ride the waves,� Nick said from the back of the bus, trying to play Nintendo with Brian and Bianca. �I would love to live in the South, maybe get an old plantation house and fix it up,� Elizabeth brought a cup of tea to the table. �Well, I want a big studio flat in the city overlooking the East Side,� Lauralee smiled. �Then get a vacation house in Florida so I can stay there in the winter.� �Hey who knows? Your wish may just come true,� Alex smiled. Lauralee heard the mobile phone on the bus ring. �I�ll get it,� she reached over and picked it up. �Hello?� �Lau? Riley here.� �Sup Riley?� �Got an important message for y�all, just received. I�m in my car, so can you put me on speakerphone?� �Sure,� Lauralee pushed a button. �Hey guys! Phone call!� The whole crew crowded around the phone. �OK, we�re all here, you may speak,� Laura said. �OK, good or bad news first?� Riley said. �Bad news,� answered Veronica. �Millennium�s out of the number 1 spot,� Riley said. �Figured it would be eventually,� Brian sighed. �And the good news?� Elizabeth asked. �It was taken over by Elegance, hot shot debut!� Riley laughed. �What!� Lauralee screamed. �You heard me.� The crew started to scream and hug all around. �Congratulations!� Alex hugged Lauralee. �Figured you boys wouldn�t be mad.� �You kidding? To be upstaged by our women? Not a chance,� smiled Nick. �Listen I have to go, I need to have a meeting with you ladies, so I�ll meet you in Albuquerque. See you later.� �Bye Riles,� Lauralee turned off the phone. �Number one! Wow!� �I think this calls for a toast,� Alex grabbed sodas from the fridge and passed them around. �To Elegance, 4 words: I told you so! At least we�re not bumped out by *N Sync.� They all laughed. �To Elegance!� They banged the cans together and drank the sodas. Chapter 56 Contents Chapter 54 |
