�Where are you going?�
�Taking Jay home.  Later man.�  Brian watched him walk away and into Jay�s limo. 
�Shannon?�
�Yeah baby?�
�May I speak to Resa?�
�Of course, hold on.�  He waited as Shannon called out for her.
�Hello?�
�Resa.  I got some bad news.�
�What?�
�D is taking Jennifer home.�  I dropped the phone and stared at the wall.
�What is it?� Shannon asked.  She glanced at me and quickly picked up her phone.  �Bri?�
�Yeah.�
�What happened?�
�D just left with Jennifer.�
�Oh, damn.  Brian, honey, come on home.  I�m going to take Resa home.�
�No, I�ll just�I don�t know, I don�t want to go home.�
�You sure.�  I glanced at her and nodded my head. 
�Can I borrow your car?�
�Yeah.�  She handed me the keys and I smiled my thanks.  I walked out to her car and quickly got in.

I banged on the drums, playing along with Metallica.  I thought of the many words flowing through my brain, yet, not having the patience to write them down.  I glanced at the girls as they each walked in and just looked at me.
�What?�
�Having fun?�  I glanced down at my drum head and nodded.
�Been playing for about four hours now.  Yeah, I�m having fun,� I said, laughing.
�You�ve killed the head,� Jennifer said.  I glanced at her and busted out laughing.
�I wish I could.  It takes a little more than four hours of intense playing for me to kill the head.�  She nodded her head, understanding the meaning.
�So, how are you?� Terri asked.  I looked at her and rolled my eyes.
�I take it you weren�t at the club long enough to know that D left with J.Lo.�
�What?�
�Yeah.�
�Oh good Lord,� she said, sitting down.
�Whatever.  I figured we should release �Bad Girls� as our next single?�
�I thought we wanted something slow?� Jennifer asked.
�Nah, don�t want slow.�
�Anyone else?�
�I think that�s a good song to release,� Megan said.
�Me too,� Shannon agreed.
�Yeah, let�s release,� Terri said, standing up again. 
�Okay, than we should practice it.�  They looked at me and rolled their eyes.  I laughed and waited as the girls got into position.  I counted us off and sighed, happy.

Two hours later, I heard someone clapping and my head snapped up and I locked eyes with Howie. 
�What the fuck do you want?�
�Please ladies, you don�t have to leave.  I just have to talk to Resa.�  I got up from behind my drums and leaned against the wall.
�I�m waiting.�
�How does it feel?�
�What do you mean?�
�I�m well aware you went to the club with Hayden and that you and Jennifer went back to his hotel room and got quite drunk.�
�So?�
�And when were you going to tell me this?�
�He�s just a friend.  It didn�t mean anything.�
�Last night, so all of you know I did not cheat on my girlfriend, I went to help a friend out in need.  I never touched her, I don�t even like her in that way.�
�Why didn�t you say that?�
�Why should I?�
�So, you let me think that you went and slept with her?�
�I never gave you a reason to think that.  Any of you.�
�Well�.�
�There is no well Resa.  You thought that yourself.  You have no one to blame, but yourself.�  I crossed my arms over my chest and sighed.  �You know I�m right.  And you can blame Jennifer, she�s the one who told me.�
�I�m sorry Resa.  He made me.�  I looked at her and nodded my head.
�I�m sure he did.�
�He did.� I smiled and shook my head.
�I did.  But, that�s not the point.  Resa, I know you know a lot, but there�s things you still don�t know, especially about this business.  I don�t want you to get a high head this soon in the game.�
�You�re going to be the one to bring me down to Earth?�
�I have so far, haven�t I?�
�You could find a far better way.�
�Stop pouting.�
�But I like pouting.� I stuck my lip out farther and he smiled.
�You�re so damn cute when you do that.�
�I know I am.�  He leaned in and gave me a quick kiss.
�I�m sorry baby.�
�Yeah yeah.  I�m sorry too.  I should have told ya what happened.�
�Yes, you should have, but it�s okay.  Anyways ladies, the song rocks.�  We all busted out laughing and I jumped on D�s back.
�Song is finished.  We�re hungry and you�re taking us out.�  I kissed his cheek as he groaned.
�Good Lord woman!  Are you trying to keep me from saving my money?�
�You�re to fuckin� tight with it anyways.�  We laughed once again as we went out to our awaiting limo.
