�Sounds fun.�  Brian slapped AJ�s hand and took my chair, pulling me down on his lap.
�It is.�  AJ checked his watch.  �Damn, didn�t know it was that late.  I shall leave you two alone, gotta go met up with D.�
�Tell him he has to stop by, see the new place, met the new girl.�
�You know, does Nick know about you two?�
�Nope, Nick has been off doing his own thing.  Haven�t gotten a hold of him in a while.  Kevin knows though, he likes her, says she�s funny.�
�That she is.�
�Excuse me, can we please stop talking like I�m not here,� I said, rolling my eyes.
�And such a drama queen.�
�Oh, fuck you AJ.�
�Resa!�
�Sorry Brian.�  I bite my lip and glared at AJ and at his smile. 
�Later you two.�
�Bye.�  I turned to Brian and smiled.
�What are you smiling at?�
�Just missed you is all.�
�Hmm,� he said, taking my hand in his, �I missed you too.�  His lips once again found mine.  His arms slowly lifted me up and we found somehow found our way to our room.

�What�s on your mind?�  I glanced up and smiled at AJ.
�Well, you actually.�
�Me?�
�Yes, I was thinking about you and recording, wondering if you were really gonna go for it?�
�You gonna help and support me?�
�Of course.�
�Than, yes, I�ll go for it.�
�Great.�  I smiled and closed my eyes, going back to getting my sun tan.
�You know, what does Brian think of those tattoos you have?�
�Um, well, he�s not very happy with them nor with the piercings.  But I won�t remove them.  I just promised I wouldn�t get anymore, or no more big ones.�
�I still can not figure out why you�re with him.�
�Because I do love him.  He�s one of the best boyfriends I ever had.�  AJ just laughed and I smiled.  �Why, should I dump him for you?�
�Well, since you asked, yes you should.�  I glanced at him sharply.  Was he serious?  Dump Brian for AJ?   �It wouldn�t be the first time.�
�That someone dumped the good guy for the bad guy?�
�What a way to put it.�  I just rolled my eyes at him.  �So, what are your plans today?�
�Sun bathe.  I need a freakin� sun tan.  This Mexican girl looks like a white girl.�
�You�re Mexican?�
�Half anyways.�  I relaxed once again. 
�Well, I will let you go.  Is Brian gonna be gone tonight?�
�Yeah, won�t be back till sometime tomorrow evening actually.�
�Business?�
�Yeah.�
�Wanna have dinner with me tonight?�  I looked up at him, covering my eyes from the sun.
�I would love too.�
�Great, pick you up around six than.  Dress nice.�
�Yes sir.�  He laughed and left me once again alone.

�And than, he just stopped singing.  We couldn�t help but laugh at him as he forgot the words to the song. He was so embarrassed, but it was so damn funny.�  I just couldn�t stop laughing as AJ kept telling me stuff about the guys.
�I didn�t know Brian could forget.�
�He did.  He was more than pissed at us too for laughing and not helping him out.  The fans didn�t mind though.�
�That�s a good thing too.�  I took a sip of wine and just smiled at AJ.  Okay, so a fast forming friendship had happened.  AJ and I had gotten close.  In fact, every time he was around, I could feel little butterflies in my stomach.  Now, I was a writer and knew what that feeling meant, but I couldn�t grasp the simple idea.  I mean, I loved Brian and yet, I was more than attracted to one of his best friends.  It wasn�t a fair game.  If only I had met AJ under different circumstances. 
�You still with me?�
�Yeah, just thinking.�
�About?�  Okay, so up until now, I had not lied to him.  Well, maybe I shouldn�t lie.  After all, didn�t he make it clear how he felt this afternoon?
�You actually.�
�Me?�
�Yes.�
�What about me?�  I sighed, a way of buying time and getting the courage.
�Can I ask you a question.  And I want an honest answer Age.�  He just nodded his head and I took a deep breath.  �How do you feel about me?�
�I think you�re a wonderful friend.�
�That�s it?�  We locked eyes and somehow, we were both searching for each other hands.
�I like you, more than just a friend.  Hell, you�re everything I wanted in a lover.  Honesty, trustworthy, know how to be serious but yet know to be laid back, just nearly as crazy as I am, smart, and just plain beautiful.�  �God, now I know I could not just walk away from him.�  His hand cupped my cheek and slowly our heads moved closer, our lips barely touching.  �Damn, he can kiss and that was a stupid peck,� my mind screamed at me.  The shiver ran down my spine, my head felt dizzy, my heart was pounding and my stomach was doing flip flops, all sure signs I should not be enjoying that.  Well, hell, I shouldn�t even be doing that, but damn, it just felt to good to pull away.  �Did you just happen to feel that?�
�You mean, the never wrecking the kiss?  The earth shattering peck?�
�Yeah, something to that effect.�
�Yes, than I think I did.�
�And just what does that mean?�  I bite my lip and looked at him.
�I don�t know Age.�  He grabbed my hand and kissed it.
�You can�t tell him?�
�I don�t know how to tell him.�  I just shook my head, not knowing what I needed to do.
