*One Month Later*
Howie:
Adrienne and I have been seeing each other for about two weeks now. She’s so sweet. I drive to Tampa as much as possible, and sometimes she’ll drive to Orlando to see me as well. But, if we arent together, we’re talking on the phone, running up phone bills, etc. Finally, she went out and bought a phone card, and I got myself one too. Tomorrow me and the guys go into the studio though to start recording for the next album. So, that means a little less time to see and talk to Adrienne. I know she’ll understand though. Her and the rest of the girls can start spending a little more time together.
I just got home from driving back from Adrienne’s. We spent the weekend together and now that it was Sunday night, we both have to be up early in the morning I decided to come home.
When I walked into the door, I picked up the phone and dialed Adrienne’s number.
“Hello?” she answered.
“Hey baby,” I said smiling. I loved hearing her voice.
“Hey! Home already?” she asked.
“Yeah,” I answered.
“I miss you already,” she said softly.
“I miss you too,” I said smiling to myself. I pulled off my jeans and my tee shirt and layed down in my bed, in nothing but my boxers.
“What time do you think you will be able to call me tomorrow?” she asked.
“Im not sure, I’ll probably get home late,” I sighed.
“Well, unless you’re dead tired, I want you to call me. I dont care how late it is,” she told me.
I smiled, I wonder if that’s why I liked her so much. She always wanted to be around me. I loved that.
“Ok,” I agreed.
We talked a little while, but got off after a bit of talking. We were both kinda tired. Before I layed down to go to sleep, I decided to call Jennifer since I havent talked to her in a few days.
“Hello?” she asked.
“Hey Jen,” I said.
“Hey Howie!” she exclaimed.
“How are ya?” I asked.
“Good and yourself?” she asked. I could tell she just sat down.
“Good, how are you and Adrienne?” she asked.
“Great,” I said smiling. I loved hearing Adrienne’s name.
“Cool, so tell me everything,” she gushed.
“Ok,” I said and continued to tell her all about Adrienne and I, leaving out a few details that are just between Adrienne and I.
Nick:
Megan is really cool to hang out with. I really like her too, I just havent had the guts to ask her out or anything like that. I really wanted to, but Im terrified of rejection. I was talking to Micki the other day and she told me there was a 100% chance that Megan wouldnt mind dating me.
I dont know though, girls say one thing and mean a completely different thing. It was so confusing sometimes.
AJ and Micki were already on their way to happy land, same with Adrienne and Howie. Lexi and Kevin are “seeing each other” nothing official though. Brian and Leah is a difficult decision. I mean one minute their real flirty and the next minute, they’re not. I know Brian really likes Leah, but I dont have really deep conversations with her, so I dont know. By the way she acts, Id say she has the hots for him too.
Megan and I? I dont know. She’s a really sweet girl and man is she beautiful. I cant get the image of her face out of my head, not that I dont want it out of my head, but you know what I mean...
I can talk to Megan, she can be serious when I want her to be serious and just talk, but then she can be fun and carefree too. I love that!
The only thing I need to figure out is how Im going to ask her to be with me, its hard. I feel like Junior High again. Maybe if I pulled her hair or something, she’d think I liked her. It was a joke.
I dont know, but I need to figure something out.
Megan:
“Micki!” I called.
“Yeah?” she asked appearing from her bedroom in nothing but AJ’s tee shirt that was a few sizes too big for her.
“Hey, can I borrow that one black dress you have?” I asked.
“Yeah, why?” she asked.
“Nick said he wants to take me out to Saturday night, he says its a formal occasion,” I said raising my eyebrows.
“Oh yeah? Whats the occasion?” she asked.
“I have no clue. Maybe he’s finally going to confess his feelings for me,” I said dreamily.
“Maybe,” she said, she acted like she knew something.
“What?” I asked.
“What?” she asked looking innocent.
“Nothing, so I can borrow it?” I asked.
“Yeah, go ahead and get it,” she said.
I walked into her room and opened her closet and took out the dress. I walked back out to where she was.
“I gotta go,” I said smiling.
“Im going to bed anyways,” she said yawning.
“Sweet dreams, Mick,” I said and walked out of her apartment.
I heard her lock the door and soon all her lights were turned out. I drove to my apartment and decided it was time for me to get some sleep as well. When I walked in there were two messages on my machine.
“Megan, this is Nick, I just called to say good-night. I’ll try to call you tomorrow. Im not sure how long I’ll be recording.”
“Hey Meg, Adrienne here. Im going to bed, so dont bother calling me back. I just wanted to call and say hi since I didnt get to see you today. Bye babe.”
I smiled and walked back to my bathroom and brushed my teeth. I pulled my hair into a pony-tail and walked to my room where I changed into my pajamas. I crawled into bed, already ready to go to sleep and it wasnt long before I fell asleep.
Brian:
Ok, I really like Leah. Now that Ive known her for a good month or so, I can honestly say that I like her. She’s such a sweetheart.
We’re going to be recording, starting tomorrow, so that means less quality time with the girls, but we’re all going to try our best to fit time in within the day to call them and just say hello.
I was laying in bed, thinking about Leah, simply because she’s the only thing that’s been on my mind lately. I cant get her out of it, not that I want to or anything.
We were always flirting and I always wanted to just lean in and kiss her, but it hasnt happened yet. Looking at AJ and Micki who would always sneak kisses when they thought no one was looking made me want to kiss Leah even more. And watching Adrienne and Howie who were always being mushy made me want to hold Leah even more. I wasnt sure if she felt the same though. I mean, yeah she’d always flirt back, but girls are weird and hard to understand.
I wanted to be with her so bad, even after only knowing her a month. I mean, it took Micki and AJ a week, and Adrienne and Howie two weeks. I want my time to be with Leah right now.
I was really nervous about this though, it’s hard to just tell someone your feelings, even if you are pretty sure they have the same feelings. I know Im just being stupid, but I guess I really need to get the balls and just tell Leah how I feel. Im not sure when the next time I’ll talk to her will be, but I will tell her next time I talk to her. No, I’ll tell her next time I see her. Id rather do it to her face.
Adrienne:
I like Howie so much. I cant believe I could like someone that much.
It was Monday morning and I was getting ready for work. Every since I woke up, Ive had him on my mind. I smiled as I brushed my hair and looked into the mirror.
I was finally ready for work, when I heard the phone ring. I rushed to the phone and picked it up.
“Hello?” I answered.
“Morning beautiful,” Howie greeted me.
“Hi Howie,” I said turning to mush.
“I just wanted to call you before I left for the studio,” he said softly.
“That’s so sweet,” I gushed.
“I dont have any time to talk, but I hope you have a wonderful day,” he said, his soft voice made my heart pound.
“Thank you so much. I hope you have a great day too,” I said.
“I can hear your smile,” he said.
“You can?” I asked smiling even bigger.
“Yeah, I like when you smile,” he told me.
“I miss you Howie,” I blurted out.
“I miss you too baby,” he replied.
“Please call me tonight when you get home,” I begged.
“I will, I promise,” he said.
“Ok,” I said softly.
“Bye beautiful,” he whispered.
”Bye.”
I hung up the phone and grabbed my purse and car keys. I left my apartment and left for work, with only one thing on my mind, Howie.
