�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. |
