*LiAr*
They continuted to eat their meal. When they finished, it was 2:30. They had about 6 1/2 hours till they had to take AJ to his hotel.
"Lauren baby, I got you something." Matt said with a devilish smile.
"Oh really?" She asked.
"Yeah. Close your eyes." He demanded.
"Ok." She said cloing her eyes.
He took her hand, and placed a small velvet box in it. Her smile widened when she felt the size of the box. The size a ring would come in.
"Open them." Matt said, getting more exited when she opened her eyes.
Lauren looked down at the black velvety box. She gasped, then opened the box. Inside was a white gold, diamond ring. He noticed her eyes starting to water.
"This is my promise ring to you. And all you have to do, is promise to keep it on." He said.
Lauren smiled, the biggest smile she could imagine and jumped into his lap.
"I love you!" She cried as a tear rolled down her cheek. He kissed it, and it disapeared.
"I love you too." He whispered.
They sat in the overly crowded resteraut, holding eachother for only a few seconds, when Veronica cleared her through, a little too loudly.
"Why don't we get out of here?" She suggested.
The four of them, got up and walked to the only yellow car in the parking lot.
"Where to now?" Matt asked.
"It doesn't matter to me. We can go to the mall, the beach, the boardwalk... ooh! Let's go to the board walk! How fun!" She shrieked.
"Ok, sounds good to me. AJ? Veron?" He asked. Without giving them the chance to answer he said "Not like it matters, it IS her birthday." He said with an evil laugh.
"Well, it sounds fine to me. How bout you AJ?" Veronica answered, ignoring Matt's last comment.
"Sounds fine to me too."
They drove to the boardwalk and hung out there all day. It was 8:00, when they finially decided to leave. Lauren noticed that Veronica and AJ were getting along pretty well. They didn't look like total romantics or anything, but friend wise, they were coming along pretty good. Lauren could tell Veron was interested in more than friendship, and some how Matt could tell AJ was too. Maybe it was a guy thing. She shrugged it off though.
"Well, let's see, what hotel are you staying at AJ?" Matt asked him.
"The Ritz Carlton." He answered.
"Oooh nice." He said, not mentioning that he had been there pleny of times, considering the fact his parents were loaded.
"yeah, I guess. I only stayed for about 20 minutes to unpack. Then I got ditched, and met up with you guys." He said smiling at Veronica.
They drove pretty much in scilence to the hotel. When the finally got there, Veronica offered to walk him to his room.
"Ok, but hurry up Veron." Matt said, wanting to leave. There seemed to be WAY too many people there tonight, especially girls, and he wanted to get out of there.
They walked up past girls screaming for the Backstreet Boys.
"Did you know you were staying in the same hotel as those guys too?!" She asked, getting a little suspicios as why everything since they had been together, ended up with the Backstreet Boys.
"No, actually, not till a couple of minutes ago." They walked in scilence the rest of the way to his room.

"Oh my god!" Lauren yelled. "Look at the picture on that girl's poster!" Lauren said to Matt, pointing to a girl, almost right beside the car. It looked JUST like AJ. And it read 'We Love The Backstreet Boys'.
"There's NO way it could be him." Matt said.
"No, no way at all." Lauren added. They blew it off and waited for Veronica.

"Ok, this is it." AJ said. "Um, can I get your phone number so that I can call you tomorrow?" He asked.
"Sure!" She answered. As she was writing it down she said "I can't believe I actually met you. And that you joined us for the day. It's pretty cool. By the way, what band ARE you in?" She asked handing him the piece of paper with her phone number scribbled on it.
"Ok, I'm gonna tell you the truth now. Please don't be upset, or dislike me because of it."
"Umm... ok." She said, sounding a little unsure.
"Well, I'm AJ McLean, of the Backstreet Boys."
"You are WHAT?" She yelled.
"Yeah. I'm sorry I lied and I made up all that stuff about not liking them. I just didn't want you to dislike me."
"You lied. That's one thing you never do to Veronica Sanchez. You liar!" She screamed. He noticed a tear welling up in her eye. "I should have known it was too good to be true. And it was so obvious!" She screamed.
She started walking down the hall towards the exit of the hotel. She turned around for one last look, he looked very hurt. And very speechless. She let her tear roll down her cheek and ran to Matt's car.
"Oh my God!" She yelled.
"What happened?!" Lauren asked, almost knowing what she was going to hear.
"AJ is from the Backstreet Boys!" She yelled. "He lied to me! He lied to you! He lied to Matt!" She growled.
"Veron... calm down baby, it's ok. Ok, so he wanted you to like him for him. Not cause he was in some shitty band, right? Right. That's what he wanted. He didn't want, I'm sure, to lie to you. And I'm sure he didn't want to hurt you. So chill babe. We're going out tonight. There's a party at my older sister's dorm. Ok? Relax. Smile." Lauren said comforting her friend, who was beyond pissed off.
"Ok. Just one more thing. He's such a liar."
