***PRACTICE***
"Ok get in formation with your partners!" Fatima shouted across the stage. Nikki and Andrea sighed. Neither wanted to dance with partners but they'd do it anyways.
Andrea walked over to where her and AJ were supposed to stand and surprisingly he wasn't there...YET. Suddenly through the speakers came the sound of AJ's voice. "Andi, I am sorry. I hope you will forgive me after you hear me out." He paused and all the dancers left the stage except Andrea. "Ok, let's go." A.J. said looking at the other guys. Brian walked over to Andrea and led her to a chair in the center of the stage and she sat down.
The music to Back To Your Heart started. "It's Not that I can't live without you...It's just that I don't even want to try." AJ sang as he stepped into view. And walked over to Andrea. "Every night I dream about you Ever since the day we said goodbye. If I wasn't such a fool Right now I'd be holding you There's nothin' that I wouldn't do Andi if I only Knew." AJ Sang looking straight into Andrea's eyes. *The rest of the guys join in* "The words to say the road to take to find a way back to your heart What can I do to get to you And find a way back to your heart" *AJ does solo again* "I don't know how it got so crazy but I'll do anything to make it right 'Cause your love is so amazing. Andi You're the best thing in my life Let me prove my love is real and made you feel the way I feel I promise I would give the world if you only knew…" *the music starts for no one else comes close* "Girl ya know that I would never ever let another's touch come between the two of us. Cuz no one else will ever take your place. No one else comes close to you; No one makes me feel the way you do. You're so special girl, to me and you'll always be eternally. Everytime I hold you near you always say the words I love you hear. Girl with just a touch you can do much no one else comes close. No one else comes close. *Music cuts out* "Your my dream come true Andi, you know I'll always teasure every kiss, and every day I spend with you, I love you in every way and I always will because no one else comes close. Will you please forgive me?" he said in his deep sexy soulful voice.
Andrea sat not sure what she should do next. He was so sweet but that didn't change what he had done! He still needed to explain what was going on with that girl. But there would be time for that later. She tried to say something but couldn't.
AJ wrapped his arms around her making her knees feel weak. "Andi I am sorry!" He whispered into her ear. Andrea didn't say anything…just stood there holding A.J. tight and enjoying having his arms wrapped around her. 'Yeah there is plently of time to be stubborn later...It wasn't that big of a thing!' she thought to herself. He knew he still owed her an explanation of what he had done…but at least now she'd listen to that explanation. AJ shot Brian a thankful smile. After all this whole thing was Brian's idea.
***Later on the Tour Bus***
Andrea was sitting on AJ's lap and he had his arms wrapped around her tightly. Nina and Brian were sitting next to each other chatting happily. Natalie and Kevin were off in their own world talking about Traveling all over the world. Nikki was talking to Howie, just to avoid talking to Nick.
Kelly was trying to talk to Nick but he as always had his mind on Nikki. There was just something about that girl that got him every time he looked at her. It was almost as if he knew he before. Suddenly Andrea stood up and grabbed AJ's hand. She pulled him in the bus where the kicthen area was.
"Alex, I love you and I really wanna be with you, but I still wanna know why you were kissing that other girl."
"She surprised me."
"Alexander! Tell me the truth!" she hissed
"Andi, I swear…We were walking up to my room and she tired to grab my arm and I pulled away. Then when we got to my room my cell phone rang. And I wasn't sure where it was. So I told her to make herself comfortable and I walked off to find my phone. When I came back out she was sitting on the edge of my bed so I sat on the other side and she leaned over and kissed me just as you walked in the door. Nothing happened and nothing was going to happen. I would never cheat on you." AJ said looking her straight in the eyes.
"You swear Alex?"
"I swear on my love for you."
Andrea smiled and so did AJ "Man I wanna kick that little girl's butt now!"
"Andi, don't do that!"
"Why the hell not?"
"Because she doesn't mean anything…You're a all I need…just let it go." Andrea satisified with his explanation she leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek. AJ smiled. He was thankful that Andi had trust in him. Otherwise he might have lost her! *Never again will there be a girl in my room other then Andi cause it causes too damn much shit!* A.J. wrapped his arms around Andrea and kissed her lips gently.
"Mm…Glad I don't have to give that up! I'd miss it a lot!" Andrea said happy that AJ wasn't really cheating on her.
He smiled and said "And Ya think I wouldn't??"
"Let's go back in the TV room and sit down." Andrea said sick of standing.
"Ok." A.J. said. He was sick of standing too. He had been standing for hours. And Andrea had been standing and dancing for a couple hours too. The two of them walked back to the TV room holding hands. AJ sat down in one of the chairs and Andrea sat on his lap. Automatically he wrapped his arms around her pulling her closer to him. She leaned in to kiss him but just as she did Brian said "Hey what about the movie?" and she pulled back.
"I forgot about it!" Andrea said shrugging.
"So did I." AJ admitted. And he was followed by a chorus of 'I forgot too's'.
"I don't really want to go anymore." Nikki said looking around. "It's kinda nice just hanging out."
"I agree." Nick said quickly to get on Nikki's good side.
"Does anybody want to go?" Brian said looking at everyone shaking their heads. "Ok so hanging out it is!" Brian said with his always-sweet smile.
***At The Hotel, In Nikki + Nina's Room***
"Nikki you wanna do something?" Nina said looking around to find something, Anything to do.
"Sleep" Nikki, said flopping down on her soft bed.
"Come on Nik! It's only 11:30!"
"PM! Another time for sleeping!"
"You sleep too much! One day you're gonna wake up and realize you slept over half your life away!" Nina said sarcastically.
"Uh huh…Right! And when that day comes I'll get out of bed and give you a call!"
"I wanna go swimming. This place has a pool and we've never been to it!"
"No, thanks. You can go. Invite Brian."
"And Nick and you can come!"
"No thanks. How bout Andrea and A.J."
"Ok fine!" Nina said giving up on getting Nikki out of bed. She walked over to the door joining their room to Brian and Nick's and knocked. "Hey if yall ain't sleeping if maybe yall would like to go swimming with me?"
"Sure, give me a couple minutes to change.
"Ok I have to change too, so will you please wait for me Brian? I don't know where the pool is I just heard there is one here."
"Sure." Brian said smiling slyly.
"I'll be done in just a second." Nina said and disappeared into her room. And in a couple mintues she was back wearing a black and white bikini. And a towel in her hand.
Brian smiled and said, "Ready to go Nina?" He was now wearing a pair of blue swim trunks and looked absolutely gorgeous.
"Yep." They walked out to the hall together. Then Brian took her hand and they started to the elevator. While they were waiting for it to come up to their level Brian added, "Oh Nick and AJ and Andrea are already down there. I told them I was going so they decided to go too."
"Cool."
"So you like swimming Nina?" Brian said still holding her tiny hand inside his larger one.
"I love swimming! Do you like swimming?"
"Yep, but Nick is way more into swimming then I am."
"So what else do you do Mr. Littrell, I mean other then sing like an angel."
Brian laughed at her comment. "I play basketball, golf, and other stuff."
"So you gotta girlfriend in Kentucky waiting for ya?"
"Nope, you got a boyfriend anywhere?"
"Nope."
"Oh." He looked down at her and slowly lowered his face to hers letting his lips brush hers.
