| �Oh. Fatima is really stupid.� �Yeah. Okay, listen. You�re coming up here Monday. I already sent the plane ticket, so you should get it today. Bring a few pairs of clothes because we�re doing some major shopping.� �Okay. How long am I staying?� �Well, your staying with me for about a week. Then we get to go on tour.� �Are you serious? With who?� �Umm, C-Note. Do you know who they are?� I lied. �Yeah. Well, I have to get going.� �Okay. Hey, by the way, cograts. Five years and now your done with college.� �Yeah. Thanks. Congrats to you too Resa. 4 years went quickly.� �Yeah, well, I should let go, Later!� �Love ya,� I said. �Love you too.� I heard her hang up the phone so I turned off our cordless phone. �Are you ready Esa?� AJ asked me. �Yeah.� I took a look at my outfit. Shorts and a tee shirt. I didn�t feel like changing so I grabbed my purse and left. �So, what�s the deal with you two?� Howie asked, looking at AJ and then at me. �Well, AJ and I are old friends. See, when we were little, like around 9 and 10, we were really good friends. In fact, we had crushes on one another,� I replied, shoving AJ. He shoved me when I was talking, so, of course, I had to respond. �Wow, and you guys never talked?� �No. I moved when I turned 12 and then we just lost contact,� I told Howie. �And AJ, why are you doing this, shoving and pushing. Have you forgotten that I�m older and that I still can kick your ass?� �No Esa. I haven�t forgotten. But times have changed. I can whoop your ass now.� �AJ, no, I don�t think so.� �God, you two look your going to kill each other,� Nick said, coming up behind us. �No, I won�t kill Alexy. Come on, I have to get something for Shannon.� For the next three hours we shopped. Then we all went out to lunch and then they dropped me off. I was on the couch when Ramon walked in with his girlfriend. �Hey Ramon, hi Roxanne. What�s up?� �Nothing Sweetie. How was your day?� Ramon said, giving me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. �My day was funny. The guys are such a trip. But I got a few things for Shannon. You do remember she�s coming in tomorrow, don�t ya?� I asked Ramon. I glanced over at Roxanne and smiled. She smiled back but didn�t mean it. Roxanne doesn�t like me nor did I like her. Which put Ramon in an odd situation. �Yeah, I remember. Well, I just came to grab a few things. I�ll see ya later babe.� He gave me another hug and left. I turned my attention back to the TV and got lost in this movie. A few minutes later, I got a call. �Wonder who that is,� I thought. I glanced at the clock and it said 4:45. �Hello?� I asked. �What�s up Mrs. Dorough?� �Funny Mrs. McLean. What can I do for ya?� �Oh, just thought I�d say hi. And to remind you that I�m coming down.� �Yes Shannon, I know. Well, I don�t want you to talk long.� �Wait, I have a question for you.� �And what is that?� �Would you like to go to a BSB concert this summer?� I just looked at the phone and smiled. �No, I don�t want to go cause I�m working with them,� I thought. �You know I would love to but I�m working a good deal this summer. Though, if you like to go, you can. Did ya get tickets?� �Yeah, third row, seat 3 and 4.� �Want front row center?� �Can you do that?� �Of course. Just give me sometime, okay Squeaky?� �Yeah. I have to go. Rachel want�s to shop before I leave. Lates.� �Later. Lova ya.� �Love ya too.� With that she hung up the phone. �Oh yeah, Shannon. You�ll get your front row,� I thought. I hung up the phone and got back into the movie. I walked into the airport and saw a few girls staring at me. �Excuse me?� one of them called out. I just looked at her and smiled. �Aren�t you one of BSB�s dancers?� �Yeah, why?� �Are they fun to be around?� another girl asked. �Yeah, sorry, but I have to get going.� �God Theresa. Can�t remember high school friends huh?� I looked closely at this girl. �JENNY! How are you?� �Good. I take it your good?� �Well, I can�t complain.� �Yeah, I know. Hey, what�s Nick like?� �Nick! God, he�s funny, sweet, different. Girl, I would love to stay and talk, but my friend is coming in. Talk to ya later.� I walked away and went to Shannon�s gate. �When I introduce her to the Boys, she�s going to freak,� I thought. I saw her walking to me and I smiled. �Girl, how are you?� I asked, giving her a hug. �Okay, and you?� �God, I couldn�t be happier.� I grabber her bags and took her to my car. As soon as she found it, she stopped dead in her tracks. �Oh my God! A Chevrolet 4by4. Girl, where did you get the money for this?� �Well, duh, I do work with B�.C-Note now.� I just looked at her, hoping she didn�t catch the slip. But thankfully she didn�t. She was to busy checking out the truck. �Hop in.� We got in and I took us to my place. I glanced over at Shannon. She was 5�8, dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes and skinny. I smiled to myself. �What?� she asked. �Oh, just wishing I was working with the Boys. I would love to introduce you to AJ.� �Well, I�m sure we�ll met them sometime.� �Oh yeah, I�m positive.� A few minutes later I pulled into my apt and let Shannon freshen up. 30 minutes later, we were going shopping. |
