“Come on you two! I’m trying to get some sleep!” A.J. called from the bunk underneath them.
“Sorry A.J.” Alyson said giggling again.
A.J. got up and went to the back room.
“Howie, Rae, out. If Brian and Alyson try to sleep, torture them.”
They got up off the couch and walked towards the bunks, closing the door behind them.
A.J. dozed off and started dreaming about Jodi when his cell phone rang.
“What?”
“Hello to you too.”
“I’m sorry Jodi, I’m just trying to get some sleep.”
“Should I call back?”
“Nah, I’m up now. What’s up?”
“Actually, not a lot. I was wondering what New York club is your favorite.”
“Um…I like Inferno, why?”
“David and I are in New York and we don’t know of a lot of stuff to do around here.”
“Well, there’s a lot of stuff to do. You can go sight-seeing.”
“Non-tourist stuff, A.J.”
“Oh, then the club is your best bet.”
“Thanks. Later, A.J.”
“Bye.”
In the past month, Jodi and A.J. had become sort-of friends. They occasionally talked, but usually she was doing something with David or working, so she couldn’t talk that much. A.J. felt a surge of jealousy run through him. He didn’t even know David, but he already hated him.
He rolled over and tried to go back to sleep. His dream started again and there was a knock on the door.
“GO AWAY!”
