| "Hey girl, I want you to come to this kick ass party that I'm having. Please say you'll come?" Resa asked me. I thought about it and since I really hadn't done anything with her lately I agreed. "When and where and exactly who is throwing it. You or your boyfriend?" "Well, it's this Friday night, starting at nine and we're both throwing it. Why, don't you want to party with Howie?" "Okay, okay, I'll be there, don't worry." "Oh, I'm not worried. I know you're going to have a blast. Bye" "But.." Resa hung up on me before I could ask what she meant. 'That girl is up to something,' I thought to myself. The week flew by and come Friday night, I was sorta wishing I hadn't told my best friend that I wanted to go to this party. I mean, I didn't know anyone so why was I going. I jumped into my car and reached her house within 15 minutes. I noticed all the cars that surrounded her house. Actually, it wasn't her house, it was her boyfriend's, Howie, house. And damn was it huge. I smiled as I walked up to it and expecting some fancy butler guy to open it up. To my surprise there was Howie. "Hey girl. Resa is going to be happy that you're here," he said, giving me a quick hug. "Thanks. Where..." "Megan!!" Resa yelled, coming up and giving me a hug. "Thanks for coming. Come on, we gotta show these people how WE party!" She grabbed my arm and quickly dragged me into the dancing room. I rolled my eyes and just started laughing. I noticed some friends of mine and I went over to them to talk. "Hey Megan." "Hi." We were talking for about an hour before I heard them start to snicker about some guy that had just stepped into the room. "God, that outfit, I mean. And his hair?" "Who are you guys talking about?" "Over there." They tried pointing him for another 15 minutes, but I just couldn't see who they were talking about. "Look, I'm going to go find Resa. Bye." I quickly left and was walking out the door when I felt a hand brush my arm. "Hi," I heard a raspy, but oh-so-sexy, voice say. I turned around and got slammed hard with those sexy brown eyes. After a few moments, I finally found my voice. "Hi." I noticed this was the guy that I kept locking eyes with it. I knew he had sexy eyes but not like this. Not at all. And he had beautiful eyes. He smiled and I just about melted again. "Mind me asking what you're thinking about?" I just smiled. "Your eyes. I love them." He smiled too. 'God, why does he do that to me?' I asked myself. "Would you like to dance?" "I..I'm not very good." "Trust me, you're with me, you'll be good." I smiled up at him and he lead me out to the dance floor as '6, 8, 12' came on. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close. "By the way, the name is AJ. Just in case you were wondering." I laughed and looked into his eyes. "Megan." "Well Megan, it's a pleasure meeting you. You know, I love your eyes too." I smiled at him and we finished dancing through the song without talking, just holding each other close and staring into each other's eyes. After the song was over, AJ took me outside and we sat at the table, talking about anything and everything. We talked about the Boys, the tours. We talked about my schooling and my job. We talked about being on our own and just everything. I've never opened to anyone like how I opened up to him. And I loved it. It never takes one long to like one and I knew I was liking him pretty bad. I mean, this guy had everything! He was fine, sweet, caring, talkative, smart and just about everything else. I heard the door open and I glanced up to see Resa, with Howie behind her, holding her. "Oh, hi girl." "Hi Megan. Look, I don't mind you staying here, but were you ever going home?" "What do you mean, we've only been here for about an hour." �Megan, try like almost five hours," Howie said. I glanced down at my watch and freaked. It said ten till four. "Wow." I glanced up at AJ and he was smiling too. " �Would you like me to drive you home?" he asked. "You can follow me home if you wish. I have my car here." "That sounds good." We quickly stood up, bid Resa and Howie goodbye and walked out to our cars. We climbed in and reached my house in 10 minutes. He walked me to the front door and I asked if he wanted to come in. He nodded his head and walked inside. We sat down on the couch and started talking again. 'Wow, we can talk about everything,' I thought to myself. I yawned, hoping he didn't notice, but he did. "Tired?" I glanced at my watch, seeing it was going on six. "Just a little." "Come on. Let's go lay down." I got up and walked into my bedroom and he followed me. I laid down on the bed and he laid down beside me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I laid my head on his chest. "Megan?" "Yes?" Before you fall off to dreamland, can I ask you something?" "Sure, ask me anything." "I know this is like, sudden, but I can't help but liking you. And..well, I was hoping you wouldn't mind being my girl." He said it all in a quick breath that I wasn't sure I had caught it all. I looked up at him and just smiled. "Of course. Now, let's go to sleep." He lightly kissed my lips and off we went. -with the lay down beside me, there was supposed to be no pun, it just came, sorry- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I need you tonight, I need you right now/ I know deep within my heart/ It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right/ I really need you tonight" AJ hugged me closer to his body as we listened to the words that came off of our stereo system. AJ asked me to met him out here, but he didn't say why. He said it was a surprise. And what a surprise. I came out here right when the moon was coming up and it looked so pretty. He had a black blanket, the candles and the music, and even some wine. He smiled as he saw me walking over. "Hey baby," he said, before giving me a kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him. "Hey. So, are you going to tell me what this is all about yet?" "Nope. It's a surprise so just wait." I just nodded my head and we danced to the next song that had come on. "And I will take you in my arms/ And hold you right were you belong/ 'Till the day my life is through/ This I promise you/ This I promise you." |
