"I'm sorry AJ. I don't know what's going on. I have all these feelings. These weird feelings. And I don't know how to say it and I can't say it. I mean, you know everything about me, everything. And I still can't say this. I can't. And I just feel really lonely."
"You can tell me anything, you know that. You’re not alone."
"Yes, I am."
"Leesa, I'm here for you now, okay? Nothing you can say is going to change that. Maybe if you just say these things then they'll be out in the open and your feelings won't be as strong anymore. Like you could be free."
"I can't. I can't. If I say these things, I can't ever take them back. It'll change everything and I can't do that. I can't."
"You know what? This is starting to sound like some unrealistic teenage drama where the characters think too much. Why can’t you tell me? I’ve been your best friend since forever, and now, all of a sudden, you can’t talk to me? Tell me what I’ve missed these last three weeks, cos I’m totally clueless."
"Maybe that’s what I have the problem with, AJ. I’ve uncovered things over these last few weeks, things that I never thought were possible. But I guess the one thing that I have to tell you is that… well, you know your next tour? I’m kinda… well, coming I guess."
"You are? That’s great!" AJ laughed, wrapping Leesa in a bear hug. "What are you going to do? Help manage us? Wardrobe?"
"Well, ummm… no. I’m kinda… your opening act," she told him cautiously.
"What? Are you for real? That’s… that’s… that’s great!" he finally managed to get out. His heart leapt at the thought of spending the next 16 months with Leesa. Their friendship had gone through a lot lately, and he wanted to get it back on track. You know, there was the expected sexual tension thing happening, but nothing that they both couldn’t deal with like the responsible (sometimes) adults that they were.
Leesa was a mastermind indeed. She had hoped that the tour info would get AJ’s mind off her sudden change, and it worked. She was safe… for now, anyway.
