Chapter Fifteen

:00 A.M. The Next Day.

Erik woke up as a car sped by beeping it's horn. He yawned and fell back asleep. As soon as he did, the phone rang. He stretched and picked up the phone.

Mana - You fuking bastard !!!!!!!!.

Erik - Huh What ?. ( still sleepy ).

Mana - You know it's Mana dickhead. She was supposed to be at rehearsals at 7:30 A.M. to go over some stuff then at 9am were supposed to rehearse for the video ( time change ) !!!!!!.

Erik - Oh my God !!!!!.

Mana - Welcome to the waking world sherlock.

Erik - We must have fallen asleep during one of the movies.

Mana - Yeah I bet you did.

Erik - Why don't you trust me ?.

Mana - You know the answer to that Sherlock now get her butt up and keep your ass away from her !!!!!!!!!.

Mana hangs up and Erik looks over at his girlfriend, still sleeping in his arms. He kissed her and she said 'Chris...... go away i don't love you go away i love erik leave me alone or i'm calling the cops.' He shook her gently and she woke up. He smiled as they kissed ( :-) )and things started getting passionate....... ( i don' have to tell you the rest, but it wasn't se* ).

Both got in the shower, 'cause both had to get dressed in a quick hurry to make their schedules. Erik put a cover on his cast as they stepped in. The hot water came on as Erik turned on the fans for the mirrors. He smiled at Terri and she gave one back. Both wanted this whole fiasco to be over with.

A tight hug exchanged between the two as they got cleaned up. Afterwards, Erik pressed her body to his and they started kissing again, and things got passionate again ( not se* ). Two times later ( she didn't wanna endanger the baby so it was se* ), Erik dropped Terri off at the hotel after she got changed. I Love Yous were said as Terri stepped out of the car. She gave Erik 4 more kisses and then 4 again. She waved as Erik drove away to go shoot So Weird.

Terri was in wardrobe picking out an alternate outfit to wear. She couldn't wear the figure-hugging outfit she had originally had picked out or everyone would notice something she didn't want them to. ( for the outfit - think Geri's trapeze outfit 4 prince Charles but red with blue sparkly female signs on it ) Jen ( one of the dancers ) knocked on the door and asked to come in.

Terri let her in and asked what's up. Jen told her that everyone needed help picking out outfits.

She sighed and rolled eyes. She told Jen to let the dancers ( Lori, Mikka, Peggy, Gina, and Shawna ) in first and she would help them pick out outfits.

For the dancer outfits she picked out this The pants had the top's color but flared out at the bottom.

Robyn was easy to pick for. look at sporty's outfit

Julie picked out this outfit

Mana was the last to choose an outfit. She chose this

Terri's outfit was one ginger wore but it wasn't as figure-hugging as the rest.

There was only one costume change. For the dancers think Britney's outfit video ( terri - geri ( had dress let out a tiny bit ), mana - scary, Julie - posh, Robyn - Sport ).

The video was a fast pace kind of song, " Take Me." The Video would take 5 days. The scenes would be set on a green room thing. It would be released 2 weeks later. All the girls were very excited. Mana and Terri still had a rift going on, so the rest of the group tried not let them alone in the same room together.

Erik returned the ring. He wasn't upset but was glad that he and Terri were still together. 'I'm the luckiest guy on earth.' he mused to himself. He daydreamed often and sometimes henry winkler ( the producer ' The Fonz.' ) had to pull him out of dreamland. They all Laughed As Erik turned Red from embarrassment. As they went back to filming, Erik smiled to himself before he started his scenes.

~~~~

Ashley still wanted nothing to do with Erik. She started seeing someone else, but never contacted Terri. Th press had gotten wind of the fighting backstage. Like vultures, they presed for dirt. Of course , they didn't get any. That didn't stop them from running rumors in the tabloids.

~~~~

Chris still wanted Terri for his girl. ' That Erik von Detten is gonna be a dead man.' he thought bitterly to himself. He didn't even care that it was illegal. Chris was out-of-his-mind. Everyone knew that but didn't know how far gone he was. Still, rehearsals went on as usual.
