Chapter Eight

Joey quickly unlocked the door and quietly walked into the apartment with AJ close behind her.

"The phone's over there, I'm going to go see if Cammie is sleeping." Joey whispered while motioning to the phone. Slowly she walked over to Cammie's room and opened the door. Cammie was curled up on her bed deep asleep. Joey smiled and quietly shut the door.

"Was she asleep?" Joey spun around, only to see AJ standing there.

"God AJ you scared me, yeah she's asleep." Joey whispered. She noticed that he had taken off his jacket and tie, and the first few buttons of his shirt were undone. She then realized that she was still wearing her dress.

"I'll be right back, I'm going to go change into something more comfortable." She said turning in the direction her room was in.

"Need any help?" AJ called softly, an evil smile on his face.

Joey turned around and walked over to him. She gave him a soft kiss on the lips before looking into his eyes and saying, "In your dreams Romeo." With that she smiled and walked into her room. AJ stood there and shook his head.

"Damn." He whispered to himself.

Joey quickly slipped out of her dress and took her hair out. She put on a pair of worn out sweat pants and a white tank top, and then she pulled her hair up into a high ponytail. On her way out of her room she grabbed her script from the nightstand. AJ was sitting on the couch, looking through a magazine.

"I hope you won't mind playing a girl, because the scene that I really need to work on is with me and another girl." Joey said softly sitting down next to him.

AJ set the magazine down and turned to face her, "I don't mind, what page is it?" He asked taking the script from her.

"Page 79." She replied.

"Okay, am I playing Annetta or Maria?" AJ asked looking the page over.

"You're playing Maria, here's a summary of what's happening, Tony, the man you're in love with has just left your room through the window because Annetta is banging on the door yelling for you to let her in, now Annetta and Maria are talking about Tony and how he killed Maria's brother, who was also Annetta's lover, got it?" Joey asked a slightly confused AJ.

"I think so." He replied uncertainly.

They rehearsed for the next 2 hours. By the end they were both laughing hysterically.

"AJ stop using that girly voice! I can't do the scene without laughing!"

Joey cried between fits of laughter, falling down on the couch.

"I can't help it! I need to really get into the role and I have to use a girly voice to do that!" AJ cried back laughing harder, he fell down next to her on the couch.

Joey glanced over at the clock and sighed, "Wow it's 1:30, you should probably get back to the hotel and I should get to bed." She said softly, resting her head on his shoulder and yawning.

AJ pulled her close and wrapped his arms around her. Joey snuggled into his chest and closed her eyes.

"I suppose you're right, I had a lot of fun tonight Joey, thanks for taking me to that play and letting me hang out here and all." AJ said softly, then he noticed that she had fallen asleep. He brushed the hair out of her face and kissed her forehead before picking her up and carrying her to what he assumed was her room. AJ carefully opened the door and found that he was right, slowly he walked over to her bed and laid her down. Quickly he pulled a blanket over her and knelt beside her. Gently he started to caress her face with his hand while he watched her sleep, then he leaned forward and kissed her lips. Joey moved slightly and a small smile seemed to appear on her face. AJ smiled and quickly and quietly left the apartment.
