"What�s up Leigh?" Brian asked once he got into the house.

"Which do you like?" She asked as she held up a laminated sheet of paper.

Brian took it from her and studied it closely. It advertised different center pieces for the tables, "To tell you the truth they are all kind of ugly." He said as he handed her back the sheet of paper.

"Brian!"

"What? It�s the truth."

"Your hopeless."

"I know."

"Don�t hang up, don�t hang up." Jo yelled as she ran out of the bathroom and into her room where her phone was ringing, "Hello." She said out of breath as she sat down on her bed and cradled the phone in-between her ear and shoulder. It was the next morning and Jo was just finishing her hair and make up in the bathroom when the phone rang.

"Hello, this is Leigh Anne."

�Great.� Jo thought, "Miss Wallace. Hello. What can I do for you?"

"Right now is a good time."

"What?" Jo asked confused as she stood and walked to her closet.

"Right now is a good time for you to come over and go over some things with my fianc�."

"Right now?"

"Yes. Right now." Click the line went dead.

Jo looked at the phone, "Bitch." She mumbled as she threw the phone onto her bed and began to get dressed.

10 minutes later she was walking out of her apartment, brief case in hand on her way to Leigh Anne�s house.

When she arrived she quietly knocked on the door. Brian answered it and smiled warmly at her, "Good Morning...sorry we have to do this so early." He apologized.

"Don�t worry about it." She said.

"Well come in." He replied as he held the door open for her.

She entered the house and looked at him, "Where�s Miss Wallace?"

"She just stepped out. She just wanted you to go over everything you wanted to go over yesterday."

"Oh alright." She replied softly as she followed him into the kitchen, �Thank You God.� She thought to herself.

They sat down at the kitchen table and Jo placed her brief case on the table, "Can I get you something to drink? Coffee, juice, water?"

"Ah, no I am ok thanks."

He nodded and sat down beside her, "Ok so what do you want to talk to me about?" Brian asked as he looked up into her eyes.

"Uh...not much actually. Miss Wallace has covered almost everything."

He nodded.

"Alright. Mr. Littrell, how many ushers do you have?"

"I have 4...then my Best Man."

"Ok." She replied as she bit her lip softly and wrote it down. Brian watched her carefully. She didn�t look much older then himself, and was very attractive. �Too bad I am getting married.� He thought, �What Brian? Are you listening to yourself? Shut up. You love Leigh Anne that�s why you are marrying her...but wait. I can look...I just can�t touch.� Brian smiled at his conclusion, �I can look but I can�t touch.�

She looked up at him and he blinked, "When will be a good time to go get your tuxes?"

"Uh, whenever. Will you be coming with us when we go?"

She nodded at his question.

"Well whenever is a good time for you."

"How about tomorrow morning?" She offered as she looked into her agenda.

"Great. Ok so bring your ushers, and your best man to the store tomorrow. I will call them and let them know we are coming. We can go pick out your suits and while we are there we can get everyone fitted. Is that ok?"

"Perfect. Leigh Anne showed me where to go the other day when we drove past it so I know exactly where we are going."

She smiled and stood up, Brian also stood and shook her hand warmly, "Let me walk you to the door."

She smiled at him and followed him to the door, he opened it for her and she walked out into the bright Florida sunshine. He watched her leave. "I can look but I can�t touch!" Brian smiled to himself and closed the door.

~~Later~~

"What the hell should I wear on this date?" Julia yelled to Tiff as she scrambled through her closet.

"Jules, your date isn�t for another two days."

"So?"

"So worry about it in two days."

"I want to be ready though and not be freaking out on Friday."

Tiff shook her head, "I�ll go check my closet." She returned a few minutes later, "Oh Jules, I have the perfect shirt you can wear, it would look awesome with your capris." Julia turned around, "Tiff that�s my shirt."

"Oh...it would still look wicked with your capris!"
Julia rolled her eyes, "Thanks." She took the sweater from Tiff, "Now that, that�s settled. Let�s go out tonight."

"Alright...how about to that new club."

"Sounds good."

Julia nodded and turned around to her closet to find something to wear that night.

~*~

"Get me out of here Nick." Brian whispered.

"What?" Nick asked as he pushed the phone closer to his ear to hear what Brian was saying.

"Leigh Anne is driving me crazy. Get me out of here. Call me in like five minutes and ask me to do something."

"Alright." Nick answered as Brian hung up the phone. He quickly jogged down the stairs and into the kitchen where Leigh Anne was busy looking at different bouquets.

He sat down just as the phone rang. Leigh Anne looked up at him, "I�ll get it." He offered as he quickly got up and answered the phone, "Oh hi Nick....Yeah sure I will go. Ok I�ll pick you up in a few minutes." Brian hung up the phone, Leigh Anne looked up at him, "Where are you going?"

"Oh just out with the guys." He answered.
"Will you be late?" She asked as she wrapped her arms around him.
"No I don�t think so." He answered as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Good." She replied as she kissed his neck. He smiled at her and let go of her, she did the same and he left.

~*~

"How was your day Jo?" Valerie asked as Jo walked into the apartment.

"Boring. How about yours?"

"It was alrignt. Me and Jacob are going out tonight if ya wanna come."

"Yeah alright. Let me go change." She said as she jogged into her room.

~*~

"So what�s up with you and Leigh Anne?" Nick asked Brian. Howie, AJ and Kevin, their friends were seated around the booth, they all looked up at Brian.

"She is just driving me nuts with all the plans for the wedding."

The guys all chuckled at Brian, "It�s not funny."

"Yeah it is."

"To make matters worse, the wedding coordinator is hot!" Brian said as he drank the last of his drink.

The guys broke out into heavy laughter.

"Jo, come to the bathroom with me." Valerie whispered into her ear as she let of Jacob and dragged Jo off the dance floor.

"I don�t want to." She whined as she was pulled away from the guy she was dancing with, "Whenever you pull me to the bathroom when we are out it means I have drank too much." She said.

"Exactly." Valerie muttered.

"I am having so much fun." Tiff screamed as she ran off the dance floor to see Julia.
"Me too." She said sarcastically as she watched the guy she was standing with try to impress her.

Tiff rolled her eyes at the guy and pulled Julia onto the dance floor with her.

"I�m gonna go get a drink." Julia yelled to Tiff. Tiff nodded and Julia left.

"I�d like a vodka and orange please." Julia said to the bartender.

Nick walked up to the bar and recognized Julia, he smiled and leaned down to her ear, "Your not here trying to pick someone else up to go out with on Friday are you?"

Julia whirled around and smiled up at Nick, "No are you?"

"Of course not!"

She smiled, "Now that I know you are here you are gonna have to dance with me."

"Just one?" He asked.

She smiled and turned around to get her drink.

"So let�s dance." He said as he took her hand.

"Where should I put my drink?" She asked.

"We�ll put it at my table." He said as he pulled her to her table, he took the glass and placed it on the table, "Watch that for me guys." He said simply before taking off to the dance floor with Julia in tow behind him.

Jo stopped as Jacob stopped Valerie on their way back from the bathroom.

Brian looked up from the table and saw Jo standing infront of it, her side to him, looking at a couple. He got up and stood behind her, he leaned down to her ear, "Boo." He whispered.

She jumped and spun around to see him, "Hey."

"How are you Miss Willis."

"Call me Jo." She yelled over the music.

"Jo huh?"
"Yeah I hate being called Miss Willis."

Brian smirked, "Alright, call me Brian."

"It�s nice to meet you Brian." She took his hand and shook it. She looked at him, "Wait we already met didn�t we?" She giggled. He nodded.

"Let�s dance."

He smiled, "Ok." He followed her to the dance floor and they started dancing. �You can look but you can�t touch Littrell!� Brian�s head screamed as he placed his hands on her hips as she got closer to him. �No touching.� Brian�s head yelled again as their dancing got dirty. He pulled her closer, �No touching!�

Valerie pulled Jo away from Brian, both Brian and Jo looked up at her, "Come on Jo we gotta go."

Jo nodded and turned to Brian, "I will see you tomorrow Brian."

He nodded.

"Boy am I gonna have a hangover." She said to Valerie as she left, "At least I don�t have to see his psycho bitch fianc�."

Brian smirked as he heard the first part of what she said, he was shocked with the last part.

Valerie looked back to see if Brian had heard her. She bit her lip when she realized he had. "Oh man she is gonna regret that." She whispered to Jacob as they left the club.

Julia looked up at Tiff to see her motioning for to leave. She sighed and looked up to Nick, "I�ve gotta go."

He looked at her and nodded when he saw Tiff�s motions, "Ok...I�ll call you tomorrow."

She smiled. He slowly leaned down and gently kissed her, when they broke apart, he moved his mouth to her ear and whispered, "Now we don�t have to worry about the awkward after date first kiss."

She looked up at him and smiled before walking to Tiff. Nick watched her walk out the door before going back to the table.

~~The Next Morning~~

"Hey Bri." Nick said as Brian got into Nick�s car.

"Hey." He said.

"Tired?" Nick asked as he took off out of Brian�s drive way.

"No, I just have a bit of a head ache."

"I bet you can�t wait to see that wedding coordinator after last night huh."

"Shut up." Brian answered as he looked out the window, �Stupid Littrell, you are suppose to look not touch.�

"You were all over her Brian." Nick said as he stopped at a red light.

"I know Nick...I couldn�t stop myself."

"Hey maybe we should handcuff you somewhere she can�t get you...wait we should handcuff her somewhere you can�t get her." Nick laughed as he pulled into the parking lot of the store.

"Shut up."

~*~

Jo pulled herself out of bed and into the kitchen, Valerie handed her a cup of coffee.

"I have such a head ache." She said as she sat down onto the chair.

Valerie smiled at her friend. Jo covered her face with her hands, "And I have to go get tuxes with a wedding party in 45 minutes."

Jo paused for a few seconds before she un-covered her face and looked at Val, "Please tell me I dreamt dancing with the groom I am about to go shopping with."

Valerie looked at her, "No you didn�t...but I wish you had. You were all over him...then when you walked away you said, "�I�m gonna have such a hang over tomorrow. At least I don�t have to see his psycho bitch fianc�."
Jo looked at her stunned, "Please don�t tell me he heard me."

"Oh he did."
