“Then take me on a journey you would
like to show,
I like the feel when you touch me,
Touch me now for an eternity,
Your smiling face makes me seem
so bright,
Just by the place in your eyes.” The three girls sang together as RJ and Donna nodded in approval on the other side of the window watching Theresa, Lisa and Stephanie record a new hit.
“I can see the light,
And when you leave I miss you so,
My hearts calling please don't go,
Cause baby I love you and yes its true,
Now all in my life I want you…” Stephanie’s southern-drawl filtered through the mic.
“Then take me on a journey you would
like to show,
I like the feel when you touch me,
Touch me now for an eternity,
Your smiling face makes me seem
so bright,
Just by the place in your eyes.”
“Oh baby, I love you so much,
My heart belongs to you,
Now and forever ,
Can’t you see how much I miss you,
When you leave...
When you leave...” Theresa’s powerful voice sang loudly as she shut her eyes tightly feeling the words and the beat.
“Then take me on a journey you would
like to show,
I like the feel when you touch me,
Touch me now for an eternity,
Your smiling face makes me seem
so bright,
Just by the place in your eyes.”
“Then take me on a journey you would
like to show,
I like the feel when you touch me,
Touch me now for an eternity,
Your smiling face makes me seem
so bright,
Just by the place in your eyes.”
“I love you
I love you(baby)
I love you
I love you(baby)…” The three echoed each other as they started in for the final ending.
“Then take me on a journey you would
like to show,
I like the feel when you touch me,
Touch me now for an eternity,
Your smiling face makes me seem
so bright,
Just by the place in your eyes.”
“Then take me on a journey you would
like to show,
I like the feel when you touch me,
Touch me now for an eternity,
Your smiling face makes me seem
so bright,
Just by the place in your eyes.”
“Just by the place in…you’re…eyes.” Theresa sang sweetly as the song ended. Taking off their headphone, Lisa, Stephanie and Theresa smiled at each other and gave each other high fives.
“That was great girls.” Donna’s voice filtered through the recording booth. “Come in here and you can hear what you just did.” The three nodded and walked out of the booth.
-Meanwhile-
“Wussup guys!” A.J called as he walked into the dance studio carrying a bottle of spring water.
“Hey Bone!” Nick waved from his spot on the floor where he was stretching out his long limbs.
“Sup Nick? How’s that tattoo?” A.J asked plopping down next to him his legs out stretched in front of him.
“Sore. Man, why do we have to have dance practice? We don’t start touring until January.” Nick wined.
“Cause Nick, Fatima won’t be going with us.” Kevin’s baritone voice filtered through the studio with Brian by his side.
“Oh yeah, that’s right, Fatima’s pregnant. I forgot about that.” A.J chuckled watching Kevin and Brian sit down on the shiny wooden floor across from him and Nick.
“Yeah, duh.” Brian rolled his eyes. “Where’s your second half A.J?”
“Singing.” A.J answered simply.
“With Stephanie.” Kevin added his eyes bright.
“WOAH! So I take it that your present for her went ok?” Brian asked.
“Hell yeah. She loved it! Thanks for helping me with the idea guys. Oh and the roses, that was great.” Kevin thanked.
“No problem.” All the guys replied.
“And you’re welcome about the flowers. Theresa helped me with that.” A.J winked.
“Thanks J.” Kevin nodded.
“Hey fella’s.” Fatima’s voice said as her and Howie walked in side by side.
“Hey Fatima. Sup Howie?” A.J waved. Howie just waved back and placed his gym bag on the floor.
“Well guys, before we start, I want to introduce you to some of the new dancers that will be touring with you when they get here.” Fatima smiled sitting down next to the guys and also stretching out her legs.
“New dancers? That’s great.” Nick complained.
“I’d hush Nick, these girls and guys are Grade A.” Fatima stated eyeing Nick.
“Do you mean in looks?” A.J joked as he chuckled a bit.
“A.J! Don’t forget you got yourself a girl already.” Brian shook his head.
“I know that, and she’s better looking then all the supermodels in the world.” A.J preached.
“Here, here.” Kevin agreed giving A.J a high five.
“Excuse me? But is this Fatima’s dance group?” An angelic voice asked hushing everyone. Looking up from floor A.J caught a glimpse of the new girl.
“Damn.” He muttered his eyes roaming her body. She had brown hair with royal blue tips; her skin was darkly tanned to enhance the greenness in her eyes. Her 5’2 frame was covered by rolled down gray sweat pants that showed off her toned stomach and pierced naval, and a black sports bra covered her well-endowed chest.
“Yes it is.” Fatima smiled walking towards the girl. “Your name is?”
“Abagail Holmes, but my friends call me Abby.” She smiled her perfectly straight teeth showing.
“Ok, Abby welcome to the group.” Fatima welcomed as she began to introduce the group she’d be working with.
‘I’m gonna like this.’ She smiled as she eyed the tall blond, and the tattoo covered man.
-Meanwhile-
“Let’s see…” Stephanie trailed off as her, Lisa, Theresa and their personal stylist Ruby Heartman scanned through the many fashionable outfits in the small store From Gucci to Armani.
“What are we picking outfits out for?” Theresa asked as she pulled out a black-less black sequenced tank, then placed it back.
“Donna has requested that you girls find outfits for the billboard awards, album release and conference.” Ruby replied placing her hands together. “First we are going to start with the album release outfit.”
“Hold up.” Lisa stopped. “Since when was we going to the billboard awards?”
“Well it came up unexpectedly but Donna had found out that you three girls will be presenting an award with Metallica for artist of the year.” Ruby smiled.
“Isn’t the Backstreet Boys nominated for that award?” Stephanie questioned.
“Yeah.” Ruby nodded pointing to a colorful section of the store. “Now, your three lovely ladies will want to be colorful and vibrant.”
“Bright colors are always nice.” Theresa nodded fixing the strap of her red tank top that had ‘Sexy’ written across the front in rhinestones.
“Excuse me can I help you ladies?” A neatly dressed elderly women asked as she looked disapprovingly at the three young teenagers and the red head.
“Hi, my names Ruby, and these three lovely young ladies with me are members of the group eNVY, we have an appointment to have the store for ourselves for a while….”
“Ah yes, Mrs. Heartman, sorry to disturb you.” The lady nodded then turned to leave.
“Ok, now where were we?” Ruby sighed as she pulled out some outfits handing them to each girl.
-With the guys-
“And 1…2…3…4….” Fatima counted as she walked around the dance studio to check out each dancer to see if they were doing their moves right. Sitting along the sideline, the guys scoped out the new dancers and watched them perform perfectly.
“That Abby girl is good.” A.J whispered to Nick.
“Yeah, she is but Hailey’s better.” Nick chuckled watching his ex dance.
“Isn’t she and Howie talking?” A.J asked.
“Yeah.” Nick nodded his eyes moving to Howie, who was watching Hailey intently.
“You still love her don’t you?” A.J questioned looking at his friend.
“Love? Nah, I still like her, I love Lisa.”
“Lisa!” A.J choked looking at Nick wide eyed.
“Yeah.” Nick winked.
"But I thought that you two split up.” A.J said.
“Oh we did don’t worry about that.” Nick chuckled. “Even though were apart I still have feeling for her.”
“Oh I understand that bro. I mean I really, really love Theresa but deep inside I still have feelings for Amanda.” A.J explained. Nick just nodded in agreement.
“Tomorrow I’m living for LA” Nick said.
“Why?”
“To see the family.” Nick answered.
“Oh, but dude, don’t forget that we have to be in Las Vegas by Tuesday.” A.J stated.
“I know. Don’t worry I’ll be there.” Nick reassured him.
