�You�ll do good Esa,� AJ whispered in my ear.  He gave me a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek.  �Have fun and remember, break a hand.�  I just looked at him and we started laughing at our old joke. 
�Yeah, you too Alexy.�  He quickly walked to his spot and I noticed Shannon again just looking at me.  I quickly looked away and prepared myself for a wonderful night.  The music started and slowly we walked out.
�Hey Resa, good luck,� I heard Shannon call out.

As we entered the limo after the concert, we were all really pumped, wanting to burn the energy we had. 
�My God, that was unbelievable,� I mumbled.
�God Theresa, AJ is fine from the front row,� Shannon whispered to me.  I just looked at her and smiled. 
�Well, I�m glad your happy.�
�Oh yeah, totally.  You know, I heard people around me saying how pissed they were at you.�
�Really? Damn.�
�What?� AJ asked as he sat down next to Shannon.
�Oh, just how much people are hating me.  Though, they found out about Shannon, she�s going to be hated much more.�
�Yeah, that�s true,� Shannon said, nodding her head.
�Ah, who would hate my baby?� AJ asked, pulling Shannon into his arms. 
�All the AJ fans,� Shannon answered.
�That would be true.  You know since I do have a lot of fans.�
�Whatever Alex,� I mumbled.
�So, what are we going to do?� Kevin asked.
�To be honest, I just want to go to sleep,� I answered.  Everyone looked at me as if I was crazy.  �What?�
�Nothing.  Are you feeling okay?� Brian asked.
�Yeah, I�m just tired.�
�Okay, well, why don�t we go clubbin�?� Nick suggested.
��Yeah, sounds good to me,� AJ said.  I slowly tuned them out as I looked out the window.  I kept thinking about the way Shannon was acting and how she seemed all pissed.  �Oh well, if she is, she�ll say something,� I thought to myself.  We pulled up to the hotel and everyone went to their own rooms.  I decided on a drink before heading up.  I walked into the bar and sat down at a table. 
�Can we talk Resa?� Shannon asked.  I just glanced up and nodded my head.  �I didn�t mean to be bitchy when you first went you.�
�It�s okay.  But, really girl.  You don�t have anything to worry about.�
�I know, I know.  I promise you, I give you my trust.  I mean, you are one of my best friends.�  I just smiled at her and nodded my head.
�Girl, don�t you need to get ready?�
�Yeah, but we�re not going clubbin�.�  I just looked at her, raising my eyebrow.  �Theresa Dorough, get your mind out of the gutter!� she yelled at me but quickly stopped as I saw Shannon� shocked face.  I suddenly felt someone wrap their arms around my waist.
�Um, when did we get married?� Howie whispered in my ear.  I started blushing and then I heard Shannon laughing.  I saw AJ enter the room and quickly smiled. 
�Yeah, well, McLean, at least I don�t want to lay UNDERNEATH my man while he�s singing �Lay Down Beside Me�,� I said.  I saw AJ stopped a few feet behind he and she quickly turned around.
�Oh, hi AJ,� she said, smiling.
�Wow,� he mumbled, smiling back.
�Being forewarned Alexy, this one doesn�t get embarrassed.�  I turned in my chair and followed Howie out of the room.
�So, Shannon, are you ready to go?�
�Yeah.�  The left the room and went out to the limo.  15 minutes later they pulled up to the beach.  She grabbed his hand and he led her to the blanket.  �Who?�
�The guys,� AJ answered.  He sat down and pulled her down too.  He wrapped his arms around her as they watched the waves.  �Shannon?� AJ asked.
�Yes AJ?�
�Do you think it�s odd that we�re totally in love?�
�Why would it be odd?�
�Well, we�ve only been dating a day��
�AJ,� Shannon said, cutting him off.  �I don�t think it�s odd cause I love you very much too.�  With that, she pressed her lips against his.  She turned around and gently lowered him down on the blanket.  He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer to him.  She let her hands travel down as she started unbuttoning his shirt.  Her lips traveled from his lips to his neck.  She placed soft kisses everywhere before finding his weakness.  She felt his hands travel underneath her shirt and he started rubbing her back.  She finally  finished unbuttoning his shirt and quickly removed it.  Her lips made a trial from his neck down his chest.  Once again she placed soft kisses everywhere, finally stopping at his nipple.  She quickly kissed it than quickly flicked her tongue across it.  She heard AJ gasp and she smiled.  She pulled the bud into her mouth and started tugging on it.  After she had her fun with that one, she made a tail of kisses and started playing with the other one.  As soon as she heard him moan, she let go and started moving downwards.
�No, don�t go there.�  AJ�s voice made her stop and a smile played at her lips.  He quickly flipped her on her back as well as pulling her shirt off.  He pressed his lips against hers as his hands traveled down her back and finally stopped on the clasp of her bra.  �Shannon��
�AJ, just finish.�  He quickly did what he was told.  He unclasped her bra and pulled it off.  His breath caught in his throat. 
�You�re beautiful,� he finally got out.  She smiled up at him and pressed her lips against his.  He slowly lowered her onto her back.  He suddenly pulled away and reached for his pocket.  He pulled a package out and Shannon started giggling as she what it was.  �Shannon?�
�That is a yellow condom.  That may have something to do with my tattoo.�  He just started laughing and pulled her in his arms.
�That reminds me, exactly how much did this hurt?� AJ asked as he pressed his lips on the tattoo with the broken heart. 
�I don�t know.  Resa got me totally drunk.�
�Oh yeah, I would do that too.�  He smiled as he realized he finally got to see it.  �You know, since you told me about this tattoo, I wanted to see it.�  She smiled up at him.  She pressed her lips against his once again.

I got out of Howie�s grasp and put my robe on.  I glanced at the time: 2:15.  �Damn, they were out late,� I thought.  I quickly opened my door and saw them giggling.  �Excuse me, lovers, please shut up.  People weren�t that lucky and do need sleep.�
