Chapter Four


"What took you so long?" Jill asked Alli.

Alli didn't say anything, she just told Andie, Jenn, and Jaime' to meet them at the bar in five minutes. She grabbed Jill's hand and led her to the bathroom. When they got inside she handed Jill her lipstick and told her to fix herself quickly. Jill looked at her like she had lost her mind.

"What the hell is going on? Why are you acting so crazy?" Jill asked with a curious expression on her face.

Alli looked at her and cracked up laughing, "I'm sorry, but you'll never guess who I ran into at the bar." she said as she started checking her own make-up.

"WHO?" Jill practically screamed out.

"Well, it appears the elusive JC Chasez has decided to grace us with his presence once more. Can you believe it? Did he tell you he was coming home last time you talked to him?" she asked.

"No, he didn't," Jill said thinking of their last conversation. She started applying her lipstick, trying to make herself presentable.

They were both frantically fixing themselves when Jill suddenly stopped and looked at Alli.

"Hey, what are you getting all fixed up for?" Jill asked inquistively.

"Joey's here with JC!" Alli exclaimed.

"Cool, let's get out of here and go see them then," Jill said suddenly feeling nervous.

They both finished up and headed out towards the bar. Alli saw Andie first, she was playfully punching JC in the arm. Jaime' and Jenn had busied themselves a few feet away with Joey.

JC noticed Jill and Alli walk up and immediately turned all his attention to Jill. They both hesitated a moment then went to hug each other at the same time, and bumped heads.

"Ow," they both said in unison.

Joey turned to see what the commotion was and noticed Alli staring at him. He smiled at her hoping she'd smile back and ease some of the awkwardness between them. She smiled back and he felt the tension start to ease.

His thoughts were interrupted by Jaime', "So Joey," she said taking his hand in hers, "How are things coming with the group?"

She seemed to lean in closer with every word.

"Fine, just fine," he said feeling uncomfortable with Alli watching him.

"Just fine?" Jaime' asked, practically purring in his ear.

Joey knew he had to do something, Jaime' wasn't taking the hint that he wasn't interested.

He turned to Jill, "So, how's the show coming?" he asked trying to get Jaime' to lose interest.

"It's coming along great," Jill said, "we're actually working on a celebrity show that will be airing in a few weeks."

"This is boring," Jaime' whined, "I thought we weren't talking about work tonight. Hey Jenn, let's go dance. Andie are you coming?"

They hopped off the barstools and headed towards the dance floor. Joey felt relieved that Jaime' had finally left.

"Hey, if you're looking for contestants I'm sure me and JC can help out," Joey told Jill, flashing her a killer smile.

"Um, yeah right, we'll call you when we're desperate," she joked back.

When she thought of a celebrity show, she definitely didn't picture JC and Joey.

"Ouch, that one hurt," Joey replied with a pained expression on his face.
