"Hey! We’re leaving," Nick said, coming into AJ’s room.
"Okay, we’ll see you there." AJ said.
When Nick left the room AJ was about to say something about the kiss when Jesykah interrupted him, "AJ, I’m sorry. That was uncalled for, I shouldn’t have done that."
"Jesykah, you’re rambling. It didn’t hurt me and don’t you think if I didn’t want you to do that I would have pushed you away?"
"Most likely."
"Well, I didn’t. And I wouldn’t do this." he said, kissing her again.
"Come on, you better finish," she said motioning to his bags. He nodded and got up off the bed. "Do you want any help?"
"Nope, I just need to get my sunglasses unpacked." He said, referring to a medium sized suitcase at the end of the bed.
"Okay, well, I’ll wait for you in the other room."
Jesykah went and sat on the couch, and started singing a song. She had heard it earlier that day when Bekah was playing her CD’s. She had no idea who the group was, but she thought the song was pretty. It also reminded her of what AJ had said.
"I’ll hold you, love you.
I’ll never let your love go,
For always, I’ll stay,
Just look in my eyes and you’ll know,
Baby, I’ll be there for you,
Wherever you go,
Whatever you do,
I’ve got forever in time
For all of my life
I’ll be there for you,"
"Jesykah!!!" AJ shouted as he came in the room.
"Oh my god! What?"
"Girl, your voice is slammin’."
"You heard me sing?"
"Yeah, my ears perked up the moment I heard you singing one of our songs."
"That’s a Backstreet Boys song?"
"Yeah girl!"
"I didn’t even know!"
"I swear it is. So, by you not knowing that was us, I’m assuming that you aren’t a huge Backstreet Boys fan?"
"No, not really because I knew you were in the Backstreet Boys, and if I was a big fan, that would just remind me of you not being there."
"Oh, I see. I can understand that but hey, now that I’m here will you start to become a huge BSB fan?"
"Why of course, they’re all so hot!" she commented, playfully.
"Oh, really?" he said.
"Yeah, but that Nick! Whoa! He makes you wanna melt! He’s got the cutest little baby face." She said.
"Oh, you’re hurting my feelings." He replied.
"What can I do to mend your hurt feelings?"
"Give me a kiss!"
"Wow! You’re so subtle."
"I know, but are you gonna do it or what?"
"Nope."
"Why not?"
"Because, I usually don’t kiss people like that who aren’t my boyfriend. It was a mistake before. I shouldn’t have kissed you, and I shouldn’t have let you kiss me. I’m sorry, AJ."
"No prob.," he said. "Let’s get going."
The two of them hopped in the car and headed for Zachary’s.
~*~*~*~Inside~*~*~*~
"There they are," AJ said, pointing to a table near the back of the room.
Jesykah and AJ strolled over. Rebekah and Nick were on the dance floor, and Kevin and Howie had found some girls to dance with. Brian and Juliana were chatting at the table quietly.
After saying hello to Brian and Juliana, AJ turned to Jesykah and said, "Would you like to dance?"
"Well, I’d be honored," she said taking his hand.
He pulled her on the dance floor and soon the two of them had most of the eyes in the club on them, showing off their dance moves. After three fast songs the opening of Monica’s Angel of Mine was booming through the speakers. AJ pulled Jesykah close as she wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Jes, I really missed you."
"I missed you too, AJ, more then you know."
"Jesykah, will you be my girlfriend?"
"Sure I will."
AJ leaned down to kiss her. Then she looked at him.
"AJ, how will we make this work? You’re going to be leaving soon and going halfway around the world."
"You can come with me, and by Christmas time you can come home and meet everyone."
"For real?"
"For real."
"You wanna go for a walk?" she suggested.
"Sure, I know the perfect place." He said, intertwining his fingers with hers.
