"Yeah, we've been a group for about four years." Theresa nodded as she took in a spoonful of mash potatoes into her mouth.
“Wow that’s a long time.” Ann stated looking around at the three young ladies.
“Yeah but I think we’ve been together longer.” A.J grinned stupidly.
“A.J…” Theresa trailed off looking at A.J, “shut up.”
“No you…”
“You…”
“You…”
“Why don’t both of you.” Stephanie stated causing a chorus of laughs come from around the table.
“So Robin, I noticed that you still let your daughter dress like a slut.” Jeanie smarted off looking Theresa, who was wearing a pair of well fitting blue jeans and a light blue snowflake design sweater with a black leather jacket over it, up and down unapprovingly.
“Excuse me?” Robin choked spitting out her drink.
“Excuse me?” Theresa snarled after her mom.
“You heard me.” Jeanie smirked arching an eyebrow.
“Well your daughter isn’t no innocent angel.” Robin stated standing up and pointing towards Lisa who was wide eyed.
“Excuse me?” Lisa gasped looking from Theresa to Robin, from Robin back to Theresa.
“Robin, calm…” Terry mumbled trying to calm done his wife.
“NO!” Robin yelled causing everyone to jump. “Why should I calm down, when this ‘woman’ is talking bad about my daughter? When hers isn’t something special.”
“You shouldn’t talk when Theresa gets drunk and…” Lisa started but was cut off by Theresa.
“You little bitch! At least I didn’t get drunk and fu…” Theresa was cut off by a greasy turkey leg hit the shoulder of her brand new leather jacket. “You bitch! This jacket cost me $1,500.”
“Oh look she can go and spend all of her money on herself when there are many people in this world that could use some of that…”
“Why don’t you shut up you old hag!” Theresa interrupted scooping up some of her mashed potatoes in her spoon and flinging it at Jeanie, hitting her square in the face.
“You little brat.” Jeanie frowned as she scooped up a handful stuffing and tossing it at Theresa. Instead of hitting Theresa, she hit her mom instead. Mouth dropped Theresa looked at her mom, who’s face was red with anger. Lifting up her plate Robin threw everything that was on there at Jeanie, causing it to fly all over Jeanie, Lisa and some of Nick. Silence fell in the room as everyone looked at Nick. Nick wiped off some of the corn and peas that got stuck in his hair and looked up at everyone else.
“You know what?” Nick said as a massive grin formed on his face. “FOOD FIGHT!!” He screamed as everyone began to pick up food and throw it at anyone who was doing the same. The only three people that were not involved were watching their friends get themselves dirty.
“Oh man.” Stephanie whispered into Kevin’s ear. “Great first impression.”
“It ain’t you, its your friends…well mine to.” Kevin chuckled as him and Stephanie both looked over at Ann, who was watching intently. Her eyes were moving back and both watching Theresa throw food at Nick and Nick throwing food to A.J and so on. Just as Ann was about to stop the whole mess she was hit in the face with a bowl full of mashed potatoes. Kevin gasped in horror as everyone stopped to look at the women.
“Mom…” Kevin and Jerald both trailed off. Just through the quietness a loud giggle filled the room.
“Sorry grandma.” Madison giggled her small hand cupped over her mouth. Ann turned and looked at her granddaughter then busted out laughing. The room still silent ‘cept for Ann’s laughing, Kevin turned to look at his mom then started to laugh to.
“What are you laughing about?” Ann asked looking at her youngest as she grabbed a dish of cranberry sauce and poured all over Kevin’s white sweater. Stephanie looked at her boyfriend and started to laugh uncontrollably.
“Oh baby, you should have seen the look on your face.” Stephanie laughed but then felt something warm hit her face, as Kevin smothered some apple pie on her. “KEVIN!” Stephanie yelled wiping it of her eyes.
“Oh baby, you should have seen the look on your face.” Kevin mocked as he and everyone else began to laugh.
“That isn’t even funny Kevy.” Stephanie pouted.
“Hey Ann sorry about the mess, we’ll help you with it.” Theresa said standing from her seat causing a couple of rolls to fall to the floor.
“Thank you dear….I think we’ll be here all night.” Ann stated looking around at her once clean dining room.
-Later that night-
“I can’t believe you two!” Stephanie preached at her two friends.
“What?” Theresa asked crossing her arms. “Lisa’s mom started it.”
“Excuse me…but your mom lead it on.” Lisa stated frowning.
“Oh I so don’t think so…your moms the one that called me a slut.” Theresa yelled anger filling her face.
“Well you know how my mom feels about you.” Lisa said looking away from Theresa.
“You guys SHUT UP! I don’t give a shit about how your mom feels about Theresa and visa versa, you guys were totally rude and totally messed up Ann’s dinner that she nicely made for us.” Stephanie hollered scaring the two. “Please get out of my room I have a total headache.”
“Steph…”
“NOW!” Stephanie yelled pointing to the door.
“Fine.” Lisa and Theresa agreed as they left Stephanie’s room.
“GOD!” Stephanie sighed loudly collapsing onto her bed.
-At the same time-
“This I promise you…” A.J sang to himself as he brushed out his wet hair.
“A.J? Are you here?” He heard Theresa call from the main room.
“Yeah I’m in the bathroom.” A.J yelled unlocking the door to the bathroom and opening it to see Theresa standing there. “Hey Shorty.”
“Shush BON-ER.” Theresa giggled walking into the bathroom while checking A.J out. He was only dressed in a pair of black sweat pants and he was bare chested.
“So what are you doing in here at 11 o’clock at night?” A.J asked going back to his shaving.
“Oh A.J, I was just thinking about how sexy you are and I wanted you so bad.” Theresa whispered seductively then started laughing.
“Ha, Ha…funny…no really?” A.J chuckled as he felt Theresa place her hands on his stomach pushing him away from the mirror so she could sit herself on the sink. “What are you doing?”
“I’m going to help you shave.” Theresa grinned evilly taking the razor from him then taking his chin into her hand.
“Oh jeez, I’ll leaving with nothing.” A.J laughed as she started on his goatee.
“Hey, I’m not that bad.” Theresa whispered concentrating on what she was doing. Watching her A.J could help but start to laugh a bit at how hard Theresa was concentrating. “A.J stop laughing, I’ll end up cutting off your lip and you don’t want that now do you?” Theresa asked.
“No.” A.J shook his head as he took the razor away from Theresa and sat it on the sink next to her. Wrapping his arms around her waist A.J pulled her closer to him and moving his lips closer to hers. Closing her eyes Theresa felt A.J’s lips connect with hers as she wrapped her arms around his waist. Their tongues intertwining together A.J ran his hands through her thick hair then down her back to her ass where he pulled her even closer. Theresa noticed how hot her and A.J were getting and knew she had to stop but she didn’t want to.
‘Come on Theresa…remember your just friends.’ Theresa thought to herself as she pushed him away.
“Why are you doing this to me?” Theresa asked jumping off the sink and hurrying out of his room, leaving A.J dumbfounded.
-The next day-
“Ok Stephanie and Kevin you guys are first to rehearse.” Donna said as Theresa, Brian, Howie, Lisa, Nick and A.J sat in the venue watching everyone practice.
“Ok.” Stephanie smiled as Kevin helped her on stage. “What do we get to do?”
“I was thinking that maybe I could play the piano and have Mindi play the flute before Stephanie come on to sing.” Kevin suggested.
“Sounds good.” Donna nodded her arms crossed.
“Yeah it does.” Stephanie agreed nodding.
“Ok guys, let’s try it.” Donna demanded as everyone went to their spots. After doing their performance, everyone in the audience clapped and said ‘aww’.
“Thanks guys.” Stephanie smiled laying the mike down then jumping on the stage and headed towards her friends. Noticing Theresa’s discomfort, Stephanie tapped her on the shoulder and told her to follow her, which she did. “What’s wrong?” She asked as soon as they made it into their dressing room.
“Nothing.” Theresa lied.
“Don’t lie to me. There’s something wrong because you are always so happy. Now spill.” Stephanie demanded her hands placed firmly on her hips.
“Fine…A.J kissed me.” Theresa spat out looking down at her hands.
“And that’s bad why?” Stephanie smirked at her friend’s stupidity.
“Cause Steph, I don’t like him like that.” Theresa said bluntly.
“You’re just lying to yourself.” Stephanie exclaimed.
“What! No I am not…I know how I feel…”
“Then what was the whole REAL reason why you chose ‘This I Promise You’?” Stephanie cut in. Theresa was a little taken back by Stephanie’s question.
‘Why did I pick that song?’ She asked herself then shot back at Stephanie, “Because it was a pretty song. Listen, I’m tired of discussing this I’m gonna go watch Lisa and Nick.”
-With Nick and Lisa-
“You what!?” Nick screamed looking at his girlfriend.
“I want to switch songs.” Lisa answered calmly crossing her arms and looking up into Nick’s eyes.
“And what song are you planning on switching to?” Nick wondered running a hand through his hair.
“Bring all to me.” Lisa replied simple.
“Woah! I don’t think so. There is no way I’m singing a song that has N’SYNC singing it.” Nick frowned rolling his eyes and pacing in front of Lisa.
“Oh come on Nicky, its only one of them…A.J’s doing a N’SYNC song.” Lisa commented.
“That’s A.J.”
“And anyway, everyone else is doing sappy love songs, don’t you want to be different?” Lisa questioned wrapping her arms around his waist and pulling him close.
“Lisa…” Nick started looking down into Lisa’s brown eyes, “Err…why do you have to be so damn cute?”
“Dunno…cause God made me that way.” Lisa giggled kissing his cheek. “Please Nicky.”
“FINE!” Nick gave in.
“Yah!” Lisa smiled kissing him fully on the mouth. “Thank you.”
“Anytime.” Nick sighed as they rehearsed again, but this time their routine was going to be different.
-In the audience-
“Where’d Theresa and Stephanie go?” Brian asked his cousin.
“Dunno, guess they had to use the bathroom or girl talk.” Kevin shrugged watching Lisa and Nick do their thing on the stage.
“There they are.” Howie pointed out as the two girls came towards them.
“Hey babe, what happened to you?” Kevin asked his girlfriend as she sat down in the vacant seat next to him.
“I had to talk to Theresa.” Stephanie answered pecking Kevin on the lips.
“About what?” Kevin whispered in her ear.
“A.J.” She replied quietly shaking her head. Kevin lifted his head off her shoulder and looked at her.
“What is it this time?” Kevin asked.
“He kissed her and she’s having a love crisis.” Stephanie stated looking at Kevin. “Have you talked to your mom?”
“Yeah, she likes you…and she still gets a thrill out of the whole dinner toss contest.” Kevin chuckled.
“I still can’t believe that happened…well at least she doesn’t hate me for it.” Stephanie smiled sweetly at her boyfriend while kissing his nose.
“Next…Theresa and A.J get your asses up here!” Donna yelled.
“GO THERESA!” Lisa cheered her on as she watched her best friend climb on the stage with a depressed A.J following behind her.
“Bite me Lisa!” Theresa frowned.
“Ooo touchy.” Lisa giggled sitting down next to Lisa. Theresa and A.J began to sing the tension obvious between them. When the song went into a musical break was when Fatima entered the stage.
“WAIT!” She hollered standing between the two. “How about you two dance together. It would look great if you A.J kinda pull…wait, KEVIN COME HERE!”
“OK.” Kevin nodded as he headed on to the stage.
“Alright, Kev I’m gonna use you as an example.” Fatima said as she grabbed Kevin’s hands and pulled him into dancing position. “Alright now A.J your gonna hold Theresa close, then pull her out into a spin then back again and into a dip.” Fatima explained as her and Kevin demonstrated what she was talking about. When she was done she turned to look at the two, “Ok your turn.” After they did it Fatima looked at them disapprovingly, you two are so gonna have to practice.”
“Ok…”
“Fine…” They both said at the same time. ‘This should be fun…just wait until tonight Theresa.’ A.J thought a small smile forming upon his lips.
