AJ watched as Anne and Nick came into his apartment. They were kissing and wouldn’t let go of each other. Before he knew it they had backed into the guest bedroom and soon the door slammed shut.
“Well...there going their virginity!” AJ mumbled to Amanda.
“AJ! You should know Anne wouldn’t do that! Meanie!” Amanda defended. She hated it when he said things like that.
“Sorry, I was just kidding!”
Amanda quietly opened the guest bedroom door the next morning. “Oh my gosh!” She gasped. There lay Nick shirtless and it looked the same for Anne. Quickly she left and joined AJ back at the breakfast table.
“Good morning Anne!” I heard AJ call.
“Morning.” I sleepily replied rubbing my eyes.
“Did you two have a good night?” AJ continued to pry.
Nick soon caught on. “No AJ. Not that kind of good.”
I starred at them confused. “What are we talking about?”
“Don’t worry, baby.” Nick said. “We didn’t do what AJ is saying.”
“What? Oh!” I yelled as I finally realized. Eewww! No! Not till I’m married. And you don’t even see me engaged yet, do you?”
“No. See I told you AJ!” Amanda hollered. “I was right..but..wait were you shirtless earlier?”
“Me?” I exclaimed. She nodded. “No way! I slept in a noodle strap shirt. You might not have seen the straps.” I continued.
“Oh..okay. Just checkin.” She smiled sweetly.
“Sure!”
We sat around the table and talked for a while. It felt so good to feel Nick’s arm around me and to just sit together. Everything felt better then last time we were together. I relaxed against Nick and felt his head resting on mine.
Soon Nick had to leave and I stayed behind to get ready.
“Anne!”
“What AJ?”
“You’re not allowed to stay here anymore! We’re kicking you out. Got it?” AJ explained.
“What? Oh....cause of Nick?”
“Right. You aren’t allowed to have guys in your room with the door closed.”
“But, you and Amanda do it! Why can’t I?” I whined.
“It’s my house. My rules. Plus he can’t come over every night. I’ll get sick of him! Then I’ll get sick of watching you two!”
“Then don’t watch. There are other things to look at!” I smiled.
“My house...my...”
“I know, I know! Rules..right?” I cried. He laughed at me.
“Right. But seriously Anne. You two would be happier together. Aaron will be there. I know you aren’t one for staying alone. But I know Nick won’t do anything.”
“I know.”
“Well, get ready to go to the studio. We have rehearsal.”
“Okay.” I turned and went my own way. Within a few minutes I was sitting on the sofa waiting for AJ and Amanda. I was in such a hurry to get back to Nick. My heart was already aching to see him.
“Nick!” I laughed as he pulled me in his arms. “How long is your rehearsal?”
“No clue. It’s Fatima’s call.” He whined.
“Don’t be such a baby. Oh, AJ kicked me out. I need a place to stay.” I informed running my fingers through his soft blonde hair.
“I have plenty of room for you.” He smiled. Quickly he leaned over and gave me a kiss. I hated it as he let go of me to walk towards the dance floor.
“Hey, Anne!” One of the dancers called as she walked up to me.
“Oh, hey Carla.” I smiled.
“Don’t ‘hey Carla’ me. You know what you did!” She accused pointing her finger in my face.
“No, I don’t know what I did.”
“You never knew that I’ve liked Nick! The entire time I’ve danced with him! What makes you think, you can waltz back in and get him back!? Who do you think you are?” She threatened.
“What!? Nick wanted me back. He was just waiting on me to change my mind! Now we are so happy together and nothing can change that.” I explained.
“Oh, are you so sure about that?”
“Hey, Anne!” Nick called coming up behind me. “You okay, baby?” His arms wrapped around my waist and rested on my stomach.
“I’m fine.” I smiled. I slid my hand up Nick’s neck and soon pulled him towards me. He knew what I wanted and kissed me for awhile. We kept on kissing till Brian called him in for rehearsal.
“Oh Anne! Ya wanna bet on that?” Carla yelled as her and Nick started dancing.
“Yeah. Whatever you want!” I knew Nick loved me and that it would never change. Carla just gave me a sly smile as she ran her hand down Nick’s arm. I watched to see his reaction. He froze and looked at Carla with a puzzled look, then cautiously started to dance again. Through the rest of the practice he made sure he kept more distance between him and Carla.
“Hey!” Brian breathed sitting down beside me.
“Hey.” I sighed.
“What was with you and Carla today?”
“Oh..um...nothing. Maybe I’ll tell you about it later.” I mumbled. I didn’t want anyone else to know.
“Okay. Anyway, about our get together this week. Any ideas?”
“No clue! Tomorrow night okay? Me and Nick are going out to a club tonight.”
“Mind if me and Leigh join you guys?”
“No way! Just don’t tell AJ!” I loudly said as AJ walked past.
“Don’t tell me what?” He exclaimed turning to face me. I just bust out laughing at the look on his face. Soon he gave up and walked off.
“Can we?” Brian asked again.
“Yes, B! Of course you can.” I replied. “I gotta go. Nick wants me. Buh- bye!” I heard Brian’s laughter as I left him.
