| �Well, rest assure Howie, I don�t like you either.� With that, I put myself to work. I was looking up some files, when I heard a beep go off on my computer. I looked at it and noticed it was telling me to check to my message box. I clicked on it and it was Shannon. It simply said �get along�. I looked at her and she smiled. I rolled my eyes and quickly started checking out my programs. �Do you think they�re ever going to get along?� AJ asked Shannon. �Who knows. She�s good about protecting people, even if she doesn�t like them. But D is different.� �Why?� �Cause she likes him,� Shannon said, glancing quickly at me. �No way,� AJ said. �Yeah, I know her. Trust me on this one.� AJ looked at me, then at D. He just shook his head and changed the subject. AJ and Shannon talked for a while and talked about everything. They didn�t even realize that the plane was landing. They smiled and got up. I tapped Shannon on her shoulder and she turned and looked at me. �The show starts,� I mouthed. She nodded her head and grabbed her purse. I followed Shannon and AJ out of the plane. I glanced behind me, noticing Howie and Claudia in a deep conversation. �Are you two ready?� I asked. Claudia glared at me but Howie smiled. I couldn�t help but smile back. I pushed him a head of me and quickly followed. I glanced around and looked at all the fans. We got half way through before Howie started signing autographs. Shortly after, every guy was signing them. I waited, watching as the fans praised them, fainting when they got touched. I looked at Shannon and she rolled her eyes. I laughed and glanced at my pager. It was a message from Dean. I looked ahead and he was pointing towards the door. Shannon noticed as well. She went over to AJ and Kevin; I walked over to Nick, Howie, and Brian. �Let�s go. It�s late,� I told them. They nodded their heads and started going. �Wait, just one more picture baby,� Claudia said. Howie walked over to her, wrapped his arm around her waist and posed for the picture. Finally they turned to go. I looked behind D and saw a man jump from the crowd, camera in hand. �Damn poparatizi,� I said. I grabbed for Howie�s arm and quickly moved along. He looked at me and glared at me. �Oh stop D. Unless you want your picture all over the fuckin� tabloids.� D glanced behind him and groaned. We finally walked out the terminal and got into the limo. �What happened?� Shannon asked me, stepping in to the front seat of the limo. �Trash,� I said. She looked at me and nodded her head. I set my stuff down in my room and looked around. I glanced up as my door in my bedroom opened and in stepped Howie. He sat down on my bed, watching as I took out a change of clothes. �What can I do for you Howie?� I asked. I turned around and looked at him. �Oh, I�ve been thinking and I think it would be better if we just get along. We both know we�re going to have to be close, so, we should just get along right?� I looked at him and nodded my head. �I totally agree. Now, excuse me, but I need to change.� I grabbed my swimsuit that I pulled out and went into the bathroom. A few minutes later, I stepped out of the bathroom in my swimsuit and saw nick and Howie staring at me. I smiled at them and went to put my clothes away. �Are you two enjoying this?� I asked, totally amused. I glanced at myself in the mirror. I saw all my tattoos and my belly button ring. I looked at my 5�6 height, shoulder length black hair, and my light brown eyes. �What?� �That tattoo on your back,� Howie said. He walked up behind me and lightly traced it. �Bet that hurt.� �Yeah, they all did. But I like it.� �That�s good. Going swimming?� Nick asked. �Actually, no. I�m just wearing this cause it�s comfortable.� I looked at Nick and just started laughing. �No, I heard some guys were going swimming, and I figured I could work on my tan.� �You look fine from what I see,� I heard Howie mumble. I turned to look at him but I heard my door open. Claudia walked in and glanced around. �Are we going Howie?� Claudia asked. �Yeah. Let�s go. I�ll see you down there, okay?� Howie asked me. I nodded my head and watched him walk out. �You like him?� Nick asked me. I quickly looked at him. �No, I don�t. I just like the fact that we�re getting along.� �Yeah, that�s always nice. Anyways, I�m going to go change. I�ll catch ya down there.� �Bye Nicky,� I said, smiling at him. I quickly grabbed a towel and headed down to the pool, hoping no one was there, at least, no fans. As I walked to a chair, I noticed both Shannon and AJ in the pool already. �Excuse me Squeaky, but, you should be working, not flirting.� �Hey now, I can do both.� I stopped and looked at her. She just smiled and I nodded my head. I put the towel down and grabbed my laptop. I quickly turned it on and quickly checked some thing on it. �Come on, don�t be working on that,� Shannon said from the edge of the pool. �I�m just checking some stuff out. I�m not really working.� �Yeah, sure. I�m going back to swimming.� I watched as she swam over to Brian and gave him a hug. I put my laptop down and laid down on the lawn chair. I closed my eyes but quickly opened them as someone picked me up. �Kevin, don�t you dare.� But it was too late. He threw me into the pool. I came up and glared at him as he jumped into the pool. He swam over to me and gave me a hug. �I had to, sorry. You were just to dry.� I looked around and noticed everyone, but Claudia, in the pool. �Claudia is dry,� I said. �Yeah, but she�s in one of her bitch moods, so no one, including D, wants to deal with her,� Brian said. I just nodded my head and quickly dove under the water. Shannon climbed out of the pool and grabbed her towel. She walked over to the lawn chair and grabbed my laptop. She checked some stuff and then noticed a message had come. She checked it and said the arena was okay for the concert they had the following day. She clicked off and closed the laptop just as someone sat down next to her. �What were you doing?� AJ asked. �Oh just checking some things, making sure everything was okay.� �Is it?� �Yeah. So, are you guys ready for this tour?� �Yeah, for the most part. We don�t know how long we�re going to be able to stand Claudia. She�s getting mad cause Howie was talking to Theresa. I know D, and you can tell he�s getting a small crush?� �Why do you think that?� "Just cause. I�m D�s best friend. I can tell these things.� |
