AJ went home to get washed up and everything, so I took this as an oppurtunity to do the same. I took a shower and when I got out I changed into tight Gap bootleg jeans and a white 3/4 sleeved button up shirt and a blue and white sweater vest over it. I blow dried my hair straight and left it to lay against my back.
Before I knew it, there was a knock at my apartment door. I walked over and opened it. Leah stood before me.
"Do you ever go to work?" I asked with a smile.
"I took some leave to get some shopping done. Wanna go to the mall?" she asked.
All of the sudden I thought of that man and the tears swelled in my eyes. I sniffed and Leah looked at me questionly.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"I have to tell you something," I said pulling her into the house.
By the end of my story, Leah was giving me a comforting hug.
"How'd you know I didnt go to work?" I asked once I was ok.
"I was over at Brian's and AJ came in and told me you didnt go to work," Leah said.
"Oh, makes sense," I said.
"We can go to a different mall,if you want?" she asked.
Just then there was another knock at my door. I got up and opened the door. Megan stormed in, obviously mad about something.
"What's wrong?" I asked looking at her as she sat down in my chair.
"I hope you dont mind, but Nick just told me what happened," Megan said, her anger wasnt being directed to me or Leah, but she looked pissed.
"I was planning on telling you anyway," I replied.
"Does nobody go to work anymore?" Leah asked confused.
"She has Friday's off and works Saturdays," I explained to Leah.
"Oh," she said smiling.
"Well, we can all go shopping! We'll take our boyfriends and go," Leah said.
We agreed and I grabbed my car keys and purse and we walked over to AJ and Brian's apartment.
Leah didnt even bother knocking, she just walked in and ran up to Brian and jumped in his arms. She kissed him for what seemed like forever. It was cute.
Megan walked over to where Nick was playing Mario Cart. He paused the game to kiss her, awww!
AJ was no where to be seen. I kinda just stood there, ackwardly. Finally, Brian and Leah had torn apart from each other and Brian noticed I looked uncomfortable.
"Go on back to his room, I think he's just back there reading," Brian informed me.
I smiled and walked back to his room. I knocked softly and AJ called for me to come in. I walked in and sure enough he was laying on his bed, reading. He looked damn sexy too! I smiled when he looked up.
"Hey! Come here!" he exclaimed. I walked over to his bed and leaned down to kiss him, but was pulled down on top of him, by his strong, but gentle arms. We kissed and it gave the magic I feel every time we kiss, it was great.
Finally, I rolled off him and layed next to him. He put his arm around me and we read together the book he had. I didnt concentrate on the words or sentences, because all I was concentrating on was AJ's amazing scent and the electricity I felt everytime I come near him.
"We're going!" Leah shouted from the living room. I looked up at AJ and smiled. He leaned down and gave me a soft kiss on the lips and we got up. I followed him out of the room.
We decided to pair up with our significant other and drive there. AJ and I got into AJ's Mercedes and we followed Leah and Brian out in his BMW, Nick and Megan behind us in Nick's Corvette. I turned up the radio when I heard "Larger Than Life" come on.
AJ grumbled and made a face. I laughed, he looked so cute! Sexy, too. Finally we got to University Mall, in Tampa, instead of the mall I worked in. AJ and I walked hand in hand into the mall, with Brian and Leah behind us and Nick and Megan next to them.
AJ had on dark sunglasses and a baseball hat to cover his identity, like the first time I saw him. Nick did nothing to conceal his identity, but Brian had a baseball hat on. We all began to walk the mall. I love to shop! Its my favorite thing to do, besides kiss AJ and be with him. (all together now ladies: AWWWWWW)
Leah, Megan, and I were in Heaven as soon as we walked into the Gap, our favorite store. I controlled myself and only bought a sweater. Megan and Leah couldnt control themselves. Megan bought two pairs of jeans, two shirts, a belt, a hat, and body spray stuff. Leah bought a pair of overalls and a tee shirt, body spray, a new purse, and a pair of socks.
The guys were shocked at how much those two bought. AJ folded his hand with mine as we walked around. AJ stopped in front of a hat stand and began looking around. He looked really excited. While trying on hats (which would require him to take off the one he had on) a girl about 13 ran up to us. Shouldnt she be in school?
"Oh my G-D!" she shreiked as soon as she stopped in front of us. AJ looked around worriedly. I looked over at Nick and Megan who were sitting on a bench snickering at us. I glared at them.
"You're AJ from BSB!" she screamed.
People began to look at us now. Thanks a lot kid. She got tears in her eyes as they began to flow.
"Can I have your autograph?" she cried.
"Yeah, sure," AJ smiled. He asked the guy at the stand for a pen and the girl got out a receipt for him to sign. AJ signed it and smiled at her.
"Who are you?" she asked bitterly. I snickered and looked at AJ.
"This is Melissa, my girlfriend," he answered. I liked the way he said that. He made it sound so good and I just wanted to kiss him.
The girl started crying hysterically. I looked at AJ and he shrugged. Finally, Brian and Leah walked up, smiling, they had went to get a drink.
"Hey guys," Leah said and then looked at the girl who was still hysterically crying. She gave me a confused look.
"Oh my G-D! You're Brian! Can I have your autograph?" she asked, her tears immediatly stopped. Brian signed the receipt and smiled down at her. She completely ignored Leah when she noticed Nick sitting on the bench with Megan. She grabbed the pen and ran over to Nick. We all started laughing hysterically.
"Melissa! We just keep running into each other!" bellowed a male voice from behind me. I shuddered as I recognized the voice.
