�Wait, how�� Shannon started. �Please girl. You and Alexy are my closest friends. Sides, I do know that glow.� She just looked at me, wide eyed. �I�ll tell ya later. Night you two.� I closed my door and want back to bed. Howie wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed my neck. �They�re back late,� he mumbled. �That they are,� I said, sighing. �What�s wrong?� he asked. I just shook my head. I turned over on my right side, my back against Howie�s chest. �Theresa, hon, what�s wrong?� �Nothing. Just thinking about something.� He left it at that, but I knew he wasn�t happy with that. I turned in his arms and quickly kissed him. �Really, nothing is wrong. Just weird I�m here, doing what I dreamed.� He smiled down at me and kissed me. �Good morning,� Shannon said, sitting down at the table, ready to eat breakfast. �Good morning,� I said. Everyone glanced up as AJ sat down, humming a little tune. I quickly looked down, a smile on my face. �What�s up? Everyone is so happy,� Nick said. �Hon, it�s just..it�s just a good day,� I replied. He just smiled and nodded his head. I excused myself and went to the hotel room. I started packing up some clothes when someone started knocking on my door. �Come in,� I called out. �Care to explain last night?� Shannon said, walking into the bedroom. �What? I told you, I know that glow.� �Yeah, but�� �Shannon, I�m for sure not a virgin anymore.� �Got ya.� �Yeah, a little slow though.� �Hey, so I had a blonde moment.� I just looked at her and we started laughing. All of a sudden, all the guys came into my room. �Okay, why is everyone in my room?� �We thought this was D�s room?� Brian said. I just looked around and nodded my head. �Fine, we ended up sharing a room anyways.� The guys just nodded their heads, a smile on their faces. �Oh, whatever,� I mumbled. Two weeks later we were in England. I glanced around the bus, everyone doing something. �Hey Alexy,� I called out. �What?� �I need to go pick up a few things. Wanna go?� �Sorry Theresa, I made plans with Shannon.� With that he got up and walked to the back of the bus. �That�s odd,� I thought, �he always wants to go shopping and in the last week I�ve gone, he refused to go.� I shrugged my shoulders and grabbed my bag. �Anyone want to get off this bus and out to lunch?� I called out. A few seconds later, Shannon came running through the door. �Are you going shopping too?� she asked me. �Yeah, why?� �Oh, I want to go. I don�t have anything else to do.� I just looked at her and then quickly at the person who walked into the room. I looked at AJ with an odd expression on my face. �Yo, Resa, are you okay?� Shannon asked me. I shook my head and looked at her. �Yeah Squeaky, I�m fine. So, are we going?� �Of course.� She ran back to the bunks and grabbed her purse. �Theresa�� AJ started. I held up my hand to silence him. �Don�t start Alexander. All you had to say was you didn�t want to go.� With that, I walked outside. I walked over to the car that everyone got to use on the tour, just in case you wanted to be by yourself. I jumped into the driver�s seat, followed by three other people: Howie, AJ and Shannon. I glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Shannon and AJ kissing. Then I glanced over at Howie. �I thought you left with Brian and Kevin?� I asked Howie. �Nope, in fact, they didn�t want to come,� he said, grabbing my hand and kissing it. I threw him a smile. 10 minutes later we were pulling up on Park Ave., a place known for the stores up and down the street. �Okay, are we eating first or are we shopping?� �Actually, someone is here that we�re meeting and is staying for a while,� I said. I finally found the place we were to meet this person at. I walked into the restaurant and quickly spotted Ramon in one of the booths. �Mony!� I called out. He looked up and jumped out of the booth. Both Shannon and I ran over to him. Finally, we pulled away and all five of us sat down. �Hey, so, how is everyone?� Ramon asked. I looked around and answered for everyone. �We�ll all fine. Tired, but otherwise fine.� He smiled and nodded his head. I glanced down at my pager. �Hey guys, we have to grab this to go. I�m getting paged by Fatima.� I glanced up at AJ and D, both were getting paged. �Bye Ramon,� I said, giving him a hug. �You know where the bus is?� He just smiled and nodded his head. I walked out the door and to the car. We jumped in and drove to the practice room. 30 minutes later I was pulling us up to the room. I sighed and got out of the car. �Isn�t this our day off?� I asked. The guys just looked at me and nodded their heads. We stepped into the room to find the rest of the guys and the personal dancers. �Where�s everyone else?� Howie asked, walking into the room. �After last nights concert, I just felt you ten could work some more,� Fatima said. We just nodded our heads and left to change. 10 minutes later we came back and took our positions. �First song, �Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely�,� Fatima said. I took two steps behind AJ and heard Fatima count us off. Half way through, she stopped us. �Hold up! AJ, Theresa, what�s up here? You guys aren�t flowing anymore,� she said. �Sorry Fatima,� I mumbled. She nodded her head and started the dance again. 2 hours later, she finally felt everyone was ready to go. �Actually, AJ, Theresa, can I talk to you?� We walked over to her. �Look, I don�t know what the problem is, but you both better overcome it. You guys look like shit out here, so, get your acts together.� With that, she turned and left the room. �Thanks Theresa,� AJ said. �I�m not the one being a jackass, Alexander.� �No, just being a bitch.� |
