"Thanks for keeping the guys off my back today," BJ told me.

"No problem; It was fun. Those two are totally nuts!" I said smiling.

"Yeah... and I guess it doesn't hurt when you have a crush on one of them, either!" she said to me, smiling.

"Ahh... shut up! I like Brian a lot 'cause he's fun to be around!" I said.

"Uh-huh... sure!" BJ shot back at me. Before I had time to retaliate, the guys came into the kitchen.

"Hey Corinne!! Want to play me in a game of Mario Cart?" Brian asked. "I totally creamed Nick!" he added, grinning.

"You did NOT!!! I let you win that game!!" Nick shouted as he rummaged through the fridge.

Brian whispered to me, "Poor guy... he's in denial." He smiled wickedly as Nick looked up at him. "I heard that," Nick said.

Brian put his arm around my waist. "So... what do you say?" I prayed that I didn't start blushing.

"Sure... I'd love to play a game!" I said.

"Great! Cool... well, come on!" Brian said. As he passed by BJ, he said, "Hey... hope you're not doing anything tonight... me and Nick were kinda planing to take you somewhere. Since you were a good sport and all."

"Uh... no. I'm not doing anything," BJ said. "Cool, then we'll leave around 7:00, OK?" Brian asked. BJ nodded and Brian motioned for me. "Come on... let's go play!" he said excitedly.

I got up to walk out of the room. "Have fun!" BJ cooed at me. I gave her a look that could kill, and walked out the door.

After a few games of Nintindo, Brian started a pillow fight with me. It was inevitable... since I was beating him at Mario Cart! Beating him badly!!

"QUIT IT BRIAN!!!" I yelled as he smacked me in the head with a pillow. I gave him an irritated look. "Uh-oh... went to far on that one... didn't I?" he asked. "OH yeah!!" I said as I started hitting him with the pillow.

"Yo... ow, OW!! OK... hehehe... SORRY!!" he yelled.

"No... I'm not FINISHED yet!!" I yelled back, still hitting him. We were both laughing hysterically!! Finally Brian grabbed the pillow and we both went tumbling to the floor. We were still laughing as we laid there examining the mess we had made.

"This is why I like hanging around with you so much, Corinne!" Brian said, helping me up. "You are so cool to hang out with!!" he added. He pulled me up and I stumbled into his arms. He quickly supported me as I wrapped my arms around him. We looked at each other and both started blushing.

"Sorry!!" I said. "I like hanging out with you too, Brian!" I added. He smiled at me. Then Nick and BJ came into the room.

"Whoa!! What the heck happened in here??" Nick asked. BJ just smiled. I shot her a look as if to say, "don't-even-start."

"Corinne and I were goofing off. Sorry man," Brian said, blushing again. He looked at the questionable site around the two of us.

"So... is that what they call it nowadays?" Nick asked, mischievously grinning. BJ started giggling in the background.

"Awe... shut up. You're not funny!" Brian yelled at Nick. "Neither are you!" I said to BJ.

"I didn't say nothin'!!!" she said to me, holding her hands up in an innocent way. I just glared at her.

Just then, the doorbell rang. BJ and I ran to the door, and opened it to reveal Kevin and AJ standing there.

"Have you seen my cousin?!" Kevin asked bluntly.

"Yeah... he's been here all day," I answered him. Brian and Nick walked up to the door.

"Ahh... there you are! I thought I lost you man!" Kevin said when he saw Brain. "AJ and I wanted to know if you guys wanted to come with us to do some bowling or something."

AJ looked at Brian with a pitiful expression and sighed, "We're bored."

Brian laughed and said, "Naw man. Nick and I promised BJ we'd take her out somewhere tonight. You can come along if you want to, though."

"COOL... anything is better than being bored!" AJ exclaimed. "I'll call Howie and tell him to come over, too!" he exclaimed, heading for the phone in the kitchen. While he was in there, he shouted, "Hey! Maybe we can stop by McDonalds while we're out!!"

We all giggled at how AJ was acting. "So Rok... you never really told us where you were taking me," BJ said.

"Ahh... that's a secret!" Brian answered. I looked over at him and nudged him in the shoulder. "You have no idea where we are going tonight, do you?" I asked. He laughed, "Uh... no..." he finally admitted. "But I'll figure it out!"

AJ came out of the kitchen. "Howie's in! He'll be here at 7:00," he said smiling. I guess he was finally happy he was going to do something!

"OK... cool! We're gonna have fun tonight!" Brian reassured us.
