| KNOCK KNOCK! Brooke hurried to answer the door of her hotel room. She looked in the peek hole and found Chris on the other side waiting patiently. she opened then door. "Hey Chris! How can I help you?" Brooke smiled. "Umm... yeah can we talk?" Chris asked nervously. "Sure! Come on in." Brooke said and stepped aside to let him in. They walked over to the sit on the couch. "So, what's up?" Brooke smiled and looked at Chris. Oh jeez what do I say Chris thought. "uh" Chris said, "I don't know how to say this." "Well just say it." "Ok... Is there something going on with you and Johnny?" Chris asked all in one breath. "Are you serious?" Brooke asked with a laugh. "Yes" Chris said. Brooke burst out laughing. "What's so funny?" "You think... Me and Johnny..." She said through laughs. "Ok now I feel like an idiot..." Chris trailed off. "Chris don't worry about it." Brooke said with a laugh. "Can we pretend this conversation never happened?" "What conversation?" Brooke joked. "Thank you!" Chris said getting up. "You're very welcome." Brooke said and followed him to the door. "I'll see ya tomorrow Tiara" Chris smiled and walked away. (They smile a lot :)) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everyone sat around the large conference room in the venue. Johnny sat at the end of the table where he could see everyone. It was their weekly ritual where everyone found out what was going on that week. "Ok now lastly. Friday night, charity dinner in Denver. Nothing fancy. It's at a ski resort. You all are allowed one date. So yeah Friday be ready. I'll give you more details later." Johnny explained and got up. Everyone else got up and left. Brooke followed everyone out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~ 4 Days Later~ "So, Chris who are you taking to that thing on Friday?" Justin asked as they sat in their hotel rooms playing video games. "I don't know probably no one." Chris said dully. "You can't go alone!" Justin said. "And why may I ask not?" Chris asked and crossed his arms over his chest. "Cuz, man, you'll look like a... a loser" "Justin, I'm 30 years old. I'm not in high school." "I know, but you know how bored you'll be right?" "Yeah, It's only for a few hours." Chris reminded. "Why don't you just take Riley?" Justin suggested. "Riley? Why would I take her?" Chris asked. "Well jeez she isn't a type of fungi or something! Plus I think you like her." Justin said boldly. "I do not like her!" Chris said defensively. "Ok so if you take her you can go as friends." "No because then you guys will start with the 'Oh you asked her on a date' 's" "Well if you don't like her then it shouldn't matter." Justin said cleverly. "Fine, I'll ask her! Are you happy?" Chris exclaimed. "Very" Justin smiled. Chris gave him a cheesy fake smile and left the hotel room to look for Riley. He walked to her room and knocked on the door. Brooke opened the door. "Hey Chris what's up?" Brooke smiled cheerfully. "Hey um.. I was wondering if maybe... you wanted to go to the Charity dinner with me?" Chris asked nervously. He was nervous, but he couldn't figure out why. "Um.. Sure. I've got nothing better to do." Brooke said. Why is he asking me? Brooke thought. "Great!" "Uh is this ok with Johnny and everyone?" Brooke asked concerned. "Yeah. It's not a date. We're just friends" Chris explained. He couldn't stop staring at her. Jeez she's beautiful. Where the hell did that come from? Chris thought. "Oh ok... is that it?... cuz i kinda wanted to go to... bed." "Oh yeah sorry about that. Good night." chris said. "Goodnight" Brooke said and shut the door. What the heck is wrong with me? Chris thought as he walked to his room. But God she's beautiful... Why am I now realizing this? Chris walked into his room and went to bed. Was it a mistake asking Riley to go? Well it was Justin's idea. I can't fall for her. Chris told himself and drifted off to sleep. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Moor." Jim answered his phone. "Jim, It's Brooke. Just to let you know I'm going to that Charity thing on Friday." Brooke said. "Ok good. You shouldn't let them out of your site. Why do you get to go?" Moor asked. "Chris doesn't have a date so he asked me to go with him" Brooke explained. "Just as friends right?" Moor asked. "No I'm secretly sleeping with him when no one is looking." Brooke said sarcastically. "I'm serious Bryant" Jim said. "I know. Trust me there's nothign between us. He doesn't even know me." Brooke said. "I gotta go I'm really tired bye." She hung up and went to bed. I can't fall for him She thought. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Looks like our plan backfired" The person said. "The dinner won't work. They're taking the FBI Agent with them" "Damn it! What are we going to do?" "We'll just have to find a way to get rid of her. That'll be easy. She's getting close to Chris and soon she'l be so preoccupied with him she'll forget about everything else and that'll be our chance." The person said and laughed evily. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
