“Yep.” Stephanie responded happily.
“I’m guessing Kevin slept over.” Lisa smiled slyly.
“Oh yeah.” Stephanie mumbled as she grabbed the pop tart out of the toaster then sat across from Lisa at the table.
“I’m going to guess again that the trip to his brothers was a good idea.” Lisa grinned from ear to ear, as she watched Kevin walk in.
“Good morning, baby.” Kevin said kissing the back of Stephanie’s neck.
“You know, there’s nothings better than the after-glow of sex huh?” Lisa said half-jokingly, noticing Stephanie’s eyes shoot up wide.
“Um…w-who…um…”
“Give up.” Lisa butted into what Kevin was saying watching him blush into a bright shade of red along with Stephanie. “Well, I’m going to leave you two lovebirds alone, so I can go check on Theresa, bye.” Lisa waved as she walked out of the kitchen. For a minute the two stood in silences until Stephanie spoke up.
“How’s A.J holding up?” Stephanie asked.
“Not well, I’ve never seen him down this low, all he can talk about is how he wished Theresa was there with him and stuff like that and lets not go into his drinking problem.” Kevin complained as he sat at the kitchen table.
“Really, at least he’s talking to you, I don’t even know if Theresa’s still going to New York with us or not.” Stephanie sighed as she ate some more of her pop tart.
“Don’t worry babe, Theresa will come around sometime.” Kevin convinced, as he leaned over and gave Stephanie a passionate kiss letting his fingers run through her hair.
“Get a room.” Theresa said half-jokingly walking into the kitchen and towards the refrigerator. Separating from Kevin’s lips Stephanie was shocked to see her best friend downstairs fully clothed and not depressed.
“Where are you going?” Stephanie asked.
“Shopping.” Theresa answered as she grabbed a soda.
“Your what! Why don’t you go and talk to A.J instead of blowing all of your money at some store.” Stephanie protested noticing Theresa’s weird behavior.
“NO!” Theresa said as her voice got louder. “I mean, I’m separated from him for awhile to clear my head.”
“But he wants to talk to you, to see if…”
“To see if what, Kevin.” Theresa butted in placing her hands on her hips.
“To see if you two are going to be friends.” Kevin finished noticing Theresa’s face drop.
“Well…um…that I don’t know about. Come on, enough of me and A.J tell me about your time in Lexington, what did you two do?” Theresa wondered trying to change the subject of that question, ‘are you and A.J still friends’.
“Yeah, a lot of fun. I met Kev’s family and they’re wonderful...” Stephanie began to explain until Theresa cut her off.
“Hey Steph, why don’t you go shopping with me to go find a dress for the VM...oh I mean for my dinner for my brothers marriage, and we can talk about both of our trips.” Theresa lied.
“Was you just about to say VMA’s?” Stephanie demanded to know.
“Um…n-no.” Theresa stuttered as she blushed slightly.
“You had to of, cause your brothers not getting married he’s only 13.” Stephanie guessed.
“Fine, yes, I’m going to the music awards and I needed to go get a dress.” Theresa blurted out then looked at Kevin and Stephanie’s facial expressions.
“With who?” Kevin and Stephanie said at the same time.
“Freddie Prinze Jr.” Theresa mumbled then took a drink of her soda.
“How could you?” Kevin questioned.
“What do you mean, how could you. It’s my life.” Theresa protested.
“Theresa, your going to go out to some award show with another guy and poor A.J hates the thought of looking at another girl in hope of you coming back to him.” Stephanie exclaimed as she got up and headed for the door. “How could you?” With those last words she left. Theresa just stood there staring at the floor then heard Kevin spoke.
“Do you want to tell him, or me?” Kevin asked giving Theresa a look that could kill.
“Don’t tell him, please. Freddie’s just a friend of mine, and he wanted me to go so I did.” Theresa cried watching Kevin shake his head.
“You’re in a hole, that you’re not going to get out of.” Kevin rudely said walking out of the kitchen and in search of Stephanie. Theresa stood there for awhile then grabbed her car keys and headed out the back door to her car and to the house where she had to go Nick’s.
