Aj woke up early that morning. He had dreamed about he and Keri... but his dream was so real that when he felt an arm wrapped around his waist, he was certain he was with her. But when he had turned around to look at her sweet face, he realized it wasn't the person he wanted to see. He then felt bad to think about someone else when he had Katya at his side. She was so cute when she was sleeping. He knew she wasn't treating him very good...he knew no one liked her...and he was pretty sure she was cheating on him... but was he doing better toward her? He had cheated on her... more than once. He was often lying to her...he was hiding things from her... so why would she act nice with him? He had often thought about breaking up... why keeping a relationship when it's so screwed up?
"What time is it?" she yawned as she opened her eyes slowly.
"Go back to sleep...it's still early..." he told her as he wrapped his arms around her naked body.
"Ok..." she layed her head on his chest and fell back at sleep, leaving Aj lost with his thoughts.

*** In Lylian and Gaby's room ***
Gaby stirred and yawned loudly as she looked all around her. She was not used to wake up in a different place almost everyday...she was so used to be in that small appartement... but she was happy to be there... To be away from California and leave her past life. She just hoped he wouldn't try to get her back...
"Lily?" she asked in the dark room. "Lily..you awake??" Since no response came back, she turned around to find an empty bed beside her. Her eyes then went on the clock next to the bed...it was noon. Where could she be? The boys and dancers were only leaving at 1 o'clock for the VMA's rehearsal. After a moment of thinking, she finally decided to get up and there she found a note from Lylian.
Hey Gaby!
I didn't want to wake you up but I went earlier to the dance studio with Deryck because I need to get some steps straight...
So I'll see ya for dinner. Have a good day! Come to the rehearsal if you have nothing else to do!!
Bye!
Lily
-X-x-X-
Gaby sighed and walked to the bathroom. She knew she should be happy to be on tour with her friend but... it's not like she could be with her really much. She was always gone somewhere. She wanted to get things like before, when they were talking all night long about their lifes and problems... jocking about guys... watching chick flicks... but now they never had time because she was so busy with the concerts and then too tired to stay up late. She shrugged and stepped in the shower. At least, she wasn't in California.
* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *
*** Later ***
The guys and dancers arrived in the dance studio a little later. They heard music coming from where they were rehearsing so they quietly walked to the door and peeked inside.
"Wow..." Brian whispered as he watched Deryck and Lylian dancing to 'The Call' together. There bodies were moving sexily together to the rythm. Brian had never seen such a great duo...and seeing the amazed look of his friends around him, he knew he was not the only one. "You think we can be as good as that???" he asked in Ally's ear.
"I think we'll be better..." she winked. Brian grinned back but he doubt they could really do much better than them. There was something when they danced...a chemistry that made that you couldn't take your eyes off of them.
When they finished the part of the routine, everyone broke in applaused.
"Wow, I can't wait to learn it!!" Aj shouted as he ran in the room.
"You've seen everything???" Lylian asked,wide eyes.
"Well, a good part of it... but, you two were amazing, really!" Howie told them with a wink.
"Oh...thanks!" they both replied shyly.
"Ok so... you guys aren't too tired and hangover to work today?" Lylian asked with a laugh.
"Well, I thought I was but...seeing how it will look like, I'm defenitely in shape to work!" Aj exclaimed.
"That's great!" she smiled happily. "Well, if you are all ready, why don't we start?"
"Sure!" they all nodded.
She showed the Boys their duo part with Nick. She felt happy he had learned the routine the day before because it was now a lot more easier to show them. When she made sure the guys knew the steps, she showed another part to the dancers only.
"Ok...let's do this from the beginning!" she said, satisfied that everybody was learning fast and being serious. "Show me some attitude!!!" she shouted as they danced. They did all the routine, looking at their reflection in the mirror. Lylian was proud of herself and thought it was probably one of her best choreography.
"So... what do you think???" she asked them when they finished the song.
"It's very, I mean, very very very cool!!" Aj walked up to her and kissed her on the cheek. "Thanks!"
"Oh well, no problem!" she giggled. "You guys were great! So... try to be like that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow on the real stage..." she grinned.
"We will! We're always good!" Kevin simply said.
"Alrighty then!" she laughed. "Enough for today.."
They all packed up their things and rode back at the hotel.
"Do you know where the girls are at?" Brian asked one of the bodyguards.
"I think they are at the pool!" he replied, as Brian's eyes lit up.
"Alllriiiggghhhttt!!" he shouted before to run in the direction of the pool.
"Does he like to swim that much??" Lylian chuckled.
"Nah..he likes his girlfriend in bikini..." Nick grinned.
"Oh I see!" she laughed.
"Wanna go for swim?" he asked her.
"Yeah why not?! Gaby is probably there too..."
"Yup... I'll see ya there?" he asked.
"Yep! Later!" she smiled as she went up to her room to take her swimsuit.
* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *
Nick stayed in the elevator and went to his room, at the last level of the hotel. When he walked in, the phone was ringing so he ran to the little table and answered.
"Hello??????"
"Hey ..Nick?!?" a voice said.
"Yeah that's me...who's speaking??"
"Lexy...remember me?" she chuckled.
"Of course! Hey! What's up??" he said, a smile beaming on his face as he remembered how great she was looking the night before.
"Nothing much..." she replied. "Ready to go to work..."
"Oh, you're working tonight?"
"Yup!"
"At the club?"
"Yup...every night!" she sighed.
"Must be hard... "
"Yeah sometimes... depend on what customers comes in..." she grinned.
"I see!" he chuckled. "So you're working tonight huh?"
"Yeah..."
"Then..maybe I'll see you there!"
"Really?"
"Yeah why not?! And you know, if you're not busy after your shift...maybe we could..do something!?" he asked.
"That'd be great. But, I'm working t'ill the closing time so...it'd be at... 3 am!" she said.
"Oh...well that's not a problem. We can just go for a walk or something..."
"Alright! If it doesn't bother you!" she smiled happily on the other line.
"Nah! I'm used to be up late! So I'll see you tonight?" he asked.
"Yeah! See ya later!" she answered.
"Later! Bye!" Nick smiled before to hang up. He took a towel and put his swimsuit under his pants and walked out of the room, still beaming.
* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *
*** At the pool ***
"Stttooooppp Brian please!!!!!!!! Put me down!!!!" Mary shrieked.
"You turned B-roky on... you must pay...." Brian said in a robot voice as he walked closer to the pool, his girlfriend over his shoulder.
"Brian..please!!" she laughed, smacking his butt.
"1...2...3..." he counted, doing like he was gonna throw her in the pool. "Goooooooo!!!!!!" he shouted as she let out a shriek but at the instant he was about to push her in the pool, he hold her back and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I would not do that..." he grinned.
"Ahhh you're so gonna pay for this!!!" she shouted with a laugh.
"I can't wait to!" he replied, waving his eyebrows up and down.
"You're crazy!!!" she laughed.
"Oh you bet!" he smirked before to kiss her.
"Hey everyone!" Lylian smiled as she walked in.
"Hey Lily!!!" Vickie, Gaby, Michelle and Mary greeted.
"Oouuuhhh ... sexy!!" Brian teased before to whistle.
"Hey!!!!" Mary smacked him on the back. "You're mean to me..." she pouted.
"Aww no I love youuuuu!!!!" he replied and looked at his girlfriend with a big grin.
"What??"
"Let's get wet!!!!!" he shouted before to jump in the pool, Mary still wrapped in his arms as all the girls laughed.
"Ahhh Brian!!!!" Mary screamed when they surface.
"What's wrong with him?" Lylian asked the other girls with a laugh.
"He's just hyper..." Vickie giggled.
"Kill him Mary!!!!!!!!!!!" Michelle shouted.
"Oh you bet I will!!!" Mary turned around to face Brian. "Wanna die Littrell???"
"To be killed by you would be an honnor mylady..." he grinned.
"Alrighty then!!" she replied and pushed his head under water. The couple played like this for few minutes, as the girls laughed at their fight.
"Hey, how did it go?" Gaby asked Lylian as she sat down next to her.
"Great! A lot better than yesterday!" Lylian smiled happily.
"That's cool!" Gaby replied.
"Why didn't you come???"
"Well, the girls and I went shopping and then we decided to go swimming..." Gaby shrugged. "Anyways, I think you were busy enough ..."
"Yeah but...you wanted to see the routine..."
"I'll see it tomorrow!" Gaby smiled.
"Yeah!"
"Hey girlies!" Nick shouted as he walked in only in his swimsuit.
Lylian and Gaby both looked at him up and down and then looked at each other and giggled.
"Hey! There's a fight in the pool! Allriiiiggghhhtttt!!!" Nick smiled. "Bonzaiiiiiii!!!!!!" he screamed as he jumped in the big pool.
"Those guys are freaks!" Gaby laughed.
"Defenitely!" Lylian nodded.
"Nah...there're just stupid!" Vickie said as they laughed.
* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *
*** Before dinner ***
"So, what do you guys wanna do tonight?" Kevin asked the other boys as they sat at the table and waited for their girlfriends and the rest of the crew to arrive.
"What about.. going clubbing again?" Aj replied.
"Why not? It was fun yesterday!" Nick smiled. "Well, I'm going again tonight because I have a date..." he grinned.
"No way!! With the barmaid chick??" Aj exclaimed.
"Yup!" he smiled. "She's working tonight... but we're going out after."
"In the middle of the night?" Howie asked.
"Yeah...well, just for a walk or something!" he shrugged.
"I'm sure you'd prefer 'or something' than a walk huh??" Brian giggled.
"Oh well, we'll see what will happen!" Nick laughed.
"You're a real Don Juan!" Brian jocked as they all giggled.
"Well, I wanna go back too..." Aj said.
"Then, come with me!" Nick replied.
"Yeah...but Katya..."
"Forget about Katya man... " Nick sighed.
"Listen, I know you don't like her... " Aj started.
"Ok enough guys... don't start this again!" Kevin interrupted. "We'll propose to go back there at dinner and we'll see... "
"Katya will never want to go again!" Aj said with pout.
"If we all say we want to go..maybe she'll gave up!" Brian added.
"If you are coming Bri...you're not going to get the drinks with me again!"
"Why??"
"Because when you're coming with me, Keri is all over you !!! And you have a girlfriend you love really much right?"
"Yeah but...you too.." Brian chuckled.
"Yeah! Whatever!" Aj replied. "Ok so...someone propose to go to the club again tonight and we all accept alright??"
"Aj... if Katya doesn't want to go, she just have to sit on her ass here and leave you alone!" Nick snapped.
"Oh shut up!" Aj retorted.
"Ok enough you two!!!" Kevin sighed noisily.
A few minutes laters, the rest of the crew arrived and they all sat at different tables as the girlfriends joined their men at the round table. They ordered what they wanted to eat and started chatting about things and other.
"I can't wait for you to see it tomorrow...Lylian really did a great job!" Kevin said, especially talking to Vickie.
"Oh yeah defenitely! The couple part is so cool..well, it looked great when Lyl was doing it with Deryck!" Howie giggled.
"And with me too!" Nick defended.
"Yeah sorry Nicky!"
"So...what did you guys want to do tonight?" Mary asked.
"Club?!" Brian asked.
"Again?" Vickie said.
"Why not?! Was fun yesterday!" Aj shrugged.
"Yeah..." Mary smirked. All the girls, beside Katya, knew a little something about Aj's reaction to the barmaid. But they didn't care much about Katya..."Yeah! let's go it'll be fun!" she added.
"Yeah a little dancing again would be great!" Michelle smiled.
"What d'you think??" Aj asked Katya as the others started talking about something else. She turned to look at him with a surprised look on her face.
"Aj...you know I can't tonight!" she replied.
"Why?" he frowned.
"Hello?! I have this big meeting for my record!" she said.
"Oh..that's right.." Aj said as he slapped his forehead.
"So you'll go to this club again?" she asked.
"Well... I don't know...would you mind?" he asked back, even though he knew he would go even if she didn't want.
"You do what you wanna do!" she shrugged. "Maybe I could join you there after the meeting?"
"Yeah that'd be great!" he half smiled.
"So, if it's not too late, I'll make a stop there alright?" she smiled.
"Sure!" he replied before to kiss her quickly. He secretly hoped it would be too late and that she'd come back at the hotel instead to stop by the club but...at least he would be alone for a little while.
After dinner, they asked the other people of the crew if they wanted to go to the club again and most of them said yes, especially the dancers.
"Why don't you wanna come??" Gaby asked Lylian with a pout.
"Because...I don't feel like dancing tonight...I'm so tired.." Lylian answered with a yawn.
"Aaaahhh Lily! Please! It's gonna be fun!!"
"Sorry Gaby... I really don't feel like partying..." Lylian replied. "But go if you want to!! have fun!"
"Yeah... alright then..." she sighed. "I'll go get ready!" she added as she stood up.
Lylian watched her leave and sighed. She didn't know why she was feeling so down but she knew she would not have fun in this club...
* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *
*** Later ***
"Here we are..." Aj said as they entered in the club for the second time.
"Wanna go get some drinks Aj?" Nick grinned.
"Wait a little..let's go dance before!" Mary told them. "They'll think you're some obsessed psychos!"
They both agreed and followed the crew to the dance floor. As they reached it, the remix of 'The Call' started so they all stared at each other with grins.
"Let show our ladies how we can handle this song now!" Howie smiled as he looked over at Rose who was her partner for the routine.
"We're watching!" Mary smirked, backing away with Vickie, Gaby and Michelle who stood and looked at them.
"I don't have my partner!" Nick pouted as he joined them.
"Awww...you should go ask that little barmaid of yours to join you!" Mary teased.
"Ha ha!" he replied. "But look at that...it's really cool!" he added, looking at his friends.
Aj took Amanda's hand with a grin and they did the routine they had just learned that day. Brian and Ally, Kevin and Tania and finally Howie and Rose did the 'couple' routine as everyone in the club watched them.
"Wow... it's really cool!!" Gaby exclaimed, her eyes glued to the dance floor. "Lily did a good job!"
"Oh yeah a really good one!" Nick nodded.
* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *
*** Meanwhile, behind the counter of the bar ***
"What is happening there??" Keri asked, on her tip toe, trying to see what was going on on the dance floor.
"I don't know...I think some people are doing like a choreography or something..." Marilyne replied, her too tried to see what was happening.
"It must be good because it's stealing our customers!" Keri laughed looking all around. The whole crowd of the club was standing all around the dance floor, trying to see what was going on.
"Well, it gives us a little time to rest..." Marilyne sighed.
"I wanna see!!!" Keri groaned. "Do you mind if I go check?"
"Nah! Go!"
"Cool!" Keri shouted. After pushing a few people, she finally spotted the four couples doing the same dance on the song. She fastly spotted the few guy she had seen the day before. The glasses guy always asking her for her name...and the other one with those incredebile blue eyes... and as she turned her head, she saw the tall blond one that Marilyne had an eye on.
"Wow.. " she exclaimed wide eyes as she looked at them dance.
* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *
*** During this time ***
Aj danced with Amanda and they smiled at each other knowing they had the moves perfectly. For a second, Aj's eyes looked away and that's when he saw Keri watching... she was wearing black tight pants and a electric blue top showing off her bellybutton. Her hair was up in a messy bun ...and to see her like this made him forget the moves he had learned... so he missed one step, what ruined everything because he couldn't remember what was next. Amanda stared at him with a 'what's wrong' look. Unfortunately, she continued the dance but Aj didn't follow at all so she tripped on his foot and almost fell on the floor but he caught her on time. At least, it was the end of the song so no one really noticed.
"I'm so sorry!" he apologized.
"It's okay..." she smiled weakly.
"You alright??"
"Yeah...I'm okay!"
"Damn...I dunno what happened.." he lied looking at Keri's direction but she was gone.
"Really...it's okay!" she chuckled.
"What about a drink to apologize?" he asked with a grin.
"Sure!" she smiled happily.
"Sex on the beach?" he asked and she nodded. "I'll be right back!" he said before to walk in the bar's direction.
"Hey there!" Keri smirked when she saw him.
"Hey!" he smiled sweetly.
"So...You guys really got the moves huh?" she giggled.
"Yeah, actually...we do!" he replied proudly.
"What can I get you?"
"2 sex on the beach!"
"All right!" she said and walked away for a few seconds. He watched her every moves and he couldn't stop. She defenitely had something...
"It's a consolation prize for your partner?" she grinned as she pushed the two glasses in front of him.
"Huh?" he said confused as he put some money on the counter.
"Your partner...that you almost killed at the end of the song..." she laughed.
"I did not..." he replied. "I just... missed some steps..."
"Yeah...I saw that!" she giggled.
Aj stood there, trying to find something to say but nothing was coming out. She stared at him for a moment, a grin still on her face. She knew she was getting men's attention and well, she couldn't say she didn't like it. She winked and turned to another guy that was waiting to order.
Aj stared at her some more but soon realized there were tons of people waiting behind him so he after glancing one more time at Keri, he took the glasses and join his friends at the tables.
"Here you go miss!" he said as the drink in front of Amanda.
"Thank you sir!" she smiled.
* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *
*** Later ***
"Hey Gaby!" Brian said as he sat in front of her.
"Hey...where's Mary?"
"She's still dancing... I was getting tired...I danced all day you know!" he replied with a laugh.
"Oh yeah and you looked terribly exhausted when you came back this afternoon..." she teased.
"Ooh..yeah I was..." he grinned. "But I still had energy to go in the pool..."
"I see.." Gaby smiled and looked on the dance floor. Everyone was there, having a good time. She knew she should have had a good time too...but why didn't she feel that way?
"Have an eye on someone?" Brian asked with a smirk.
"Yeah...you!" she jocked as her eyes turned back to him.
"Oh well...I'm sorry but I'm taken!" he smiled.
"Aah..." she sighed. "Too bad..."
Brian laughed and stared at her for a moment as she looked back at the dance floor.
"So...um...where's Lylian?" he asked.
"She was tired...she didn't want to come." Gaby replied.
"Oh...well, she's working really hard"
"Yeah I know.." she sighed.
"You don't look too happy about it.." he remarked, plunging his crystal blue eyes into hers.
"Well...I feel that since I'm on tour, we're drifting apart...we don't talk, we don't hang out much together... and I thought it'd be the opposite, that's why." she shrugged.
"She's busy..."
"She's a perfectionnist, that's why! She wants everything to be perfect and the best..." Gaby cut him off.
"That's what we need... " Brian told her.
"I know... and I don't blame you for hiring her! I just..miss her I guess..." Gaby said, suddently looking at her glass, ashame that she was telling him how she felt.
"For how long have you two known each other?"
"For about... 6 years now. We met in Fatima's dance class actually. We met there...it just clicked I guess.." she smiled, remembering this time. "During two years we were inseperable, even if she was quite older than me. And then we kinda drifted apart for 2 other years... well, we were seeing each other and talking but...we both had different problems... anyways, it's a long story..." she said, surprised that she was telling him all those things.
"And now you two are inseperables again?" he asked with a smile.
"Well... not really... It's been a year since I moved to San Diego so we were not seeing each other really often... but we talked a lot on the phone..."
"Why did you move to San Diego?"
"Too long story and memories that I'd like to forget about... " she sighed, getting her attention to her glass.
"Oh..I see... well, we're happy to have you on tour with us!" Brian smiled warmly. She looked up at him and smiled back, happy to have someone to talk to.
"Um.. you know... this coffee we never had?" she asked shyly.
"Yeah???"
"Well...if you're still interested... maybe someday we could have it?" she said with a little smile.
"That'd be great!" he replied, happy to finally be able to talk to her. "Whenever you want to...just tell me alright?"
"Sure. Thanks a lot!" she replied, her eyes sparkling.
* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *
*** At the bar ***
"Hey Lexy, I forgot to tell you...your blond hot babe is here!" Keri shouted.
"What??" Marilyne shrieked.
"Yeah...it's been a while now.." Keri laughed. "He was looking at the guys doing the choreography.. with some girls..."
"Huh?"
"Yeah...he was standing there with a few girls... just wanna warn you..." Keri told her. "But it doesn't mean anything.."
"I know how guys are... but..thanks for telling me." Marilyne replied, a little dissapoint that she had fallen on another one of those players she was so used to. If he would have been so interested into her, he would at least had come and say Hi...
"Don't do that face Lexy... as I said, it doesn't mean anything!" Keri repeated.
"I didn't say anything!!"
"I know you more than you think...I see everything on your face!" she grinned.
"Well...yeah I'm a little dissapoint but we'll see I guess... "
"Yeah and anyways... just get some and have fun ...and then forget about him..." Keri laughed.
"Oh you're so romantic!" Marilyne giggled, rolling her eyes.
"Romantism doesn't exist anymore girl...sorry to break your dreams!"
"Yeah yeah..." Marilyne sighed and walked on the other side to serve a customer.
* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *
*** Later in the night ***
Nick stared Gaby sitting alone at the table, sipping a drink. He had seen her and Brian talking a few minutes ago but now Brian was back on the dance floor with Mary and everyone else. He didn't know what but there was something about her that was totally obsessing him. The sad look on her face... why did he always feel like it was present? She was looking like an happy person... but he knew something was wrong... He thought she looked really pretty with her black curly hair half down on her shoulders and her red baby-t and black jeans. As a ballad came on, he finally made his mind and walked toward her.
"Wanna dance?" he asked her with one of his beautiful smiles. She looked up at him with a surprised look.
"Um...yeah...yeah sure!" she smiled and stood up. They made their way to the dance floor and Nick wrapped his arms around her thin waist, pulling her close to him. There bodies were touching as they slowly danced.
Gaby closed her eyes and just enjoyed the feeling of being wrapped in his strong arms. She had dreamed of their first dance since it had happened and now she just was so happy to live it again. She couldn't describe the way she was feeling... like someone actually cared for her. She got chills when his fingers slowly moved up and down on her back. Again, she felt tears coming up to her eyes but she didn't let them flow. There was like a mix of happiness and sadness inside of her but she couldn't let the sobs out. She rest her forehead on his chest and tried to focus on the moment. That's when she felt his finger moving under her chin and lift her head up. They looked into each other's eyes for a few seconds that seemed like days... and Nick finally moved closer and slowly put his lips on hers. It was sweet, soft and tender and they both seemed to enjoy it. When they broke apart, they looked at each other smiley and shyly.
"That was nice.." Gaby told him, just realizing what had just happened.
"Yeah..it was.." Nick replied, his eyes bright.
"Hey Gaby...you coming ?? We're leaving..." Mary told Gaby as she and Brian walked pass the two.
"Um.. well..um..." she tried to reply something and looked at Nick who was looking a little uncomfortable. "Everyone's leaving?" she asked.
"Yeah... security asked us to be at the hotel before 3am..." Brian said, wondering what he could say about Nick who was staying there.
"Ok ..let's go then.." she said and followed the two but on her way she turned around to see Nick still standing in the middle of the dance floor.
"I'll join you there..." Brian said, motionning to his girlfriend and Gaby to go on. He walked up to Nick. "Man..what are you doing?" he asked him.
"What?"
"What are you trying to prove? I mean..why did you kiss Gaby when you have a date with this other chick???"
"It was a simple kiss...don't freak out..." Nick frowned.
"Well you better be careful man... she's not some kinda doll you can take whenever you want to..." Brian snapped.
"Why are you taking her defense? I know what I am doing so leave me alone..." Nick replied starting to get angry.
"Alright... but I'm warning you, stay away from Gaby if you don't have any good intentions..." Brian said before to walk away and join the others outside.
Nick shrugged and walked toward the bar. He didn't really know what had got into him to kiss Gaby...he had felt something but he didn't know what it was... it was mixed up in his mind right now.
He had not seen Lexy of the night and he had to admit he couldn't wait to see her again. He wondered how he could have waited t'ill now to go to the bar... sometimes he surprised himself.
"Hello there" he said, leaning against the counter on Marilyne's side.
"Hey!" she smiled happily. "How are ya doing?"
"Pretty good...what about you?"
"I'm fine! Thanks!" she replied.
'Oh yes you are...' Nick thought, looking at her light blue top attached on her neck and her short dark blue skirt laced on one side. Her long hair were straight down on her shoulders and she had a little bit of blue eyeliner.
"So um... had a hard night?" he asked.
"Could have been better...." she shrugged. "It was okay."
"Cool...so...still okay for tonight?"
"Yeah sure!" she replied with a smile as she watched most of the people leaving the club. It was only 2:30am but she was happy to maybe have some more time. "Maybe I'll be free before 3..."
"That'd be cool! What do you wanna do?"
"I dunno...what d'ya wanna do?" she asked, knowing that was not a question to ask a guy like that... maybe Keri was right.
"I dunno...we could go for a walk or go over to your place or mine...but I'm living in an hotel right now so..." he chuckled.
"Oh really?" she asked. "How come?"
"Well...I'm touring...I'm a singer.." he replied, unsure if she really didn't know who he was or not. She stared at him with a questionning look. "You're not obliged to believe me.." he chuckled.
"No no...I just knew I've seen you somewhere but I couldn't tell... we're not watching a lot of tv at home... anyways, what about a walk?"
"Yeah that'd be cool!" he smiled.
"Hey Lexy... you can leave now.... I'll handle it!" Keri told her as she walked up to the two. "There's 2 people left and I don't think they'll come and buy some drinks..."
"Yeah...you sure it's ok if I leave?"
"Yeah yeah you go! I'll see ya later!" Keri said, pushing her out of the counter.
"Ok ok!" Marilyne giggled. "I'll be right back!" she told Nick as she walked in the back of the club. Nick looked at her feet and realized she had no shoes on so he turned to Keri. "You're not wearing shoes to work?"
"Do you really think we can work with heels all night long?" she laughed. "No way!!!"
"Okay!" he laughed and waited for Lexy to come back.
