�You know AJ, I really like that tattoo.  But what if..  Oh, never mind,� Shannon said.
�No what were you going to say?� he asked, looking at her.
�What if we break up?�
�Well, since I don�t see that in that the near future, I don�t know.  I guess it�s just going to have to stay with me,� he said.  He stopped Shannon and kissed her.  They pulled apart when Brian called out to them.
�Here, take Theresa.  She�s complaining too much,� he said as he put me in AJ�s arms.
�Okay AJ.  You can put me down now,� I said.
�Um�no,� he replied. 
�Shannon, help me,� I called out as AJ started walking away.
�Okay,� she started following us but Brian picked her up.  �B-Rok, put me down,� she screamed.
�Nope.�  For the next few minutes we were passed around through the guys.  During all of this we couldn�t help but laugh.  And then we finally reached our own boyfriends.
�Howie, I love to be in your arms, but please put me down.�
�Okay.  I understand,� he said.  He put me down and we finally reached the boardwalk and found a nice little place to eat.
�Hey, what are you two doing tomorrow night?� Brian asked Shannon and I.
�Probably just chill and wait for you guys.  Why?� I asked.
�Oh, just thought you might like to come to the concert,� Nick said.
�We would love to but we didn�t get any tickets,� Shannon said.
�Well, might this help?� AJ said, handing us the tickets and backstage passes.
�You mean that we get to go to the concert?� Shannon asked.
�For the first time?  And look, the seats are front row.  And right in the middle,� I said.
�Wait.  You guys have never been to one of our concerts?� Kevin asked.
�Nope.  We always try but they sell out really fast,� Shannon answered.
�Wow, I would have thought you guys would have been,� Howie said.
�Well, now you know we haven�t,� I said.
�Okay.  Can I take your order?� the waitress asked.  We all gave our order and we started talking.  We stayed at the restaurant for almost two hours but then Shannon and I noticed the time and said that we had to get ready.  We said bye and decided to get together tomorrow.  AJ, Shannon, Howie, and I walked back to my place.  AJ told Shannon he�d pick her up at 5:30.
�Okay,� she agreed.  She gave him a kiss and watched him leave.
�Theresa, by ready by 6:00?�
�Okay.  But why Howie?�
�I�m taking you out to dinner.  If you don�t mind Pollyanna and her boyfriend coming along.�
�No.  See you at six mi corazon.�
�Bye mi amor,� he said, giving me a kiss and leaving.

By 5:15 Shannon was ready.  �So, Theresa, how do I look?� Shannon asked.
�Wow.  You look nice.�  Shannon had on a dark blue, floor length dress that had spaghetti straps and had a thigh high slit on the left side.
�Do you think his mom is going to like me?  Shannon asked.
�She�s going to love you.  She has to.  So, don�t worry,� I said.  Shannon came into my room and sat down on my bed.
�So, what are you and Howie doing tonight?�
�All I know is that dinner with Pollyanna at some restaurant.�
�Oh, have you met his mom?�
�No.  Her and his dad took a trip to Paris.�
�Oh, how fun,� Shannon said.
�So, how did things go last night in his room?� I asked her.  I looked at her and she started blushing.  �Oh, something did happen?�
�No, nothing.  Though I did notice something happened to you!�
�I have no idea what you mean,� I said going to my bathroom and doing my hair.
�Oh, well let me explain.  You got rid of three hickeys and now another one just pops up.  I don�t think so,� she said as leaned against the door frame.
�Oh, well, I didn�t have anything to do with that.  I woke up this morning and I found it,� I said smiling.
�Oh, uh-huh.  I�m going to believe that one.�
�No.  Nothing happened.�  A knock sounding through the house stopped the conservation.
�That�s AJ.  Have fun tonight,� Shannon said giving me a quick hug.
�Yeah, you too.  And remember just be yourself.  Love ya.�
�Love you too,� Shannon called out.  She went to open the door and saw AJ.
�Wow Shannon.  You look nice,� AJ said, giving Shannon a kiss.  �Are you ready?�
�Yeah.  Bye Theresa,� Shannon called out.
�Bye.�  I heard the door close so I went and put on a CD I decided to put on 5ive�s album.  I went back and finished getting ready.  I finished around 5:45 and decided to wait in living room.  I sat on the couch but couldn�t stay.  So I went outside to watch the sunset.
�It�s pretty, huh?�  I jumped in the air.
�God, you scared me,� I said.
�Oh, I�m sorry,� Howie said, giving me a hug.
�I didn�t hear you come in.�
�I knocked like four times.  I turned the handle and it was unlocked so I figured I would just come in.�
�Oh, okay.  Are you ready to go?� I asked.
�Yeah.  I like that dress.� The dress was simply a light purple dress that reached the floor and had spaghetti straps.
�Thanks.�  We left the house and got into Howie�s car.  �So, what are the plans for tonight?� I asked.
�I�m not going to say,� Howie said.
�Fine, be that way,� I said, smiling.  As we pulled into a parking space, Howie looked around and found Pollyanna�s car.  We went inside and found Pollyanna.
�Hey Howie.  Hi Theresa.  How are you guys?�  Pollyanna asked as we reached the table.
�Fine.  Thanks.  And yourself?� I asked, giving her a hug.
�Fine.  You guys met my boyfriend Matt,� she said as she started sitting down. 
�It�s nice to met you,� Howie said shaking his hand.  They sat down and we just started talking.  I started looking around because I had a feeling Emily was around.
�Um, excuse me,� I said getting up.
