The crew waz just walkin and chillin. They bought thingz here and there..some holdin handz..even peckin each otha once or twice. One word came to mind for Annie..:SICK!!! Maybe it waz because she waz jealous but then again Amanda and A.J were walkin dangerously close to one anotha. She noticed A.J lookin back and glancin at her evry once and awhile but Annie paid it no mind. She made up her mind..: He has a woman and that'z final! She kept tellin herself that but couldn't help but wonder what it was like to kiss him..embrace him..thingz Amanda has done and do. " Hey guyz..umm imma go walk around and browse for a lil while..i'll meet up with ya'll back at StarBuck'z..let'z say at 12?" Annie suggested to tha rest of tha group who now were standin around. " Okie dokie cuz..want me and Bri to come wit ya?..Ya know?..to keep ya company?" Adri asked. " Nah..that'z coo..i'll be fine by maself..u guyz go ahead. C-ya'z!!" Annie yelled and faded into tha crowd near Wet Seal.

Ok..now that i don't have to see them get all mushy and shit..i can shop in peace. Ohhhhh..a sale at A/X..gotta go check it out. ooohh these r nice. Wha tha fuck..these shoez r only 110$?..oh well..that'z even betta!!. " excuse me?..do u have these in black?" I ask tha sales lady. She nodded and went to tha back to check for tha black pairz. I waz backin up when i bumped into somebody. " Oh i'm sorry..haha..i wasn't lookin at where i waz goin." I apologized. " Oh it'z ok sweet thang. I'm Justin. U r?" He asked. " Oh..I'm Annaella..but all ma peepz call me Annie. Nice to meet ya Justin." I said. Ok hol upperz here..this boy is fine!!! I mean F-I-N-E!!! He was like 6'1 or 6'2. He had baby blue eyez and bleached curly blonde hair. He waz decked out in baby blue. haha I'm guessin it waz his favorite color or sumpthin. " Ok hol upz...ur Justin Timberlake from Nsync rite?" I asked. " Yup Yup..ur a fan?" he asked smilin. " Yeah..i like ur music" I answered. " So what r u guyz doin in Houston?" I questioned. " Oh we're promotin our album..u know tha new one?" he asked. " Yup..so ur like performin and goin to charitiez and stuff rite?" I asked again. " Yeah..basically" he answered. " Xcuse me ma'am..here r tha shoez u asked for." tha lady said. " Ok..can u ring it up pleaze?" i added. " Y of course" she replied. As i waz bout to reach into ma purse to pay Justin stopped me. " I got it." he said. " Oh no..that'z ok..i can pay for it." i suggested. " Nah nah..i insist." he pleaded and gave me a puppy dog face. AAAWwwwww!! " Well ok..since ur in such a givin mood..wanna buy all ma clothez for me?" i asked playfully. " Hey..n e thang for a fine lady." he smiled. I blushed and smacked him playfully. This guy waz great..not once have i thought of A.J. He grabbed tha bag for me and i reached for it. " I'll hold it..it'z not THAT heavy..haha" he laughed. " Really tho..u don't have to carry it..i mean u paid for it." I said overwhelmed by his kindness. He just turned to me and smiled. " Hey wanna just walk around and browse?...or is there somewhere u hafta go?" i asked hopin he would come with me. " Oh i'll go with ya..tha guyz and i r meetin at Starbuck'z at 12 n e wayz. " he answered. " Coo...so where to?" i asked excitedly. " Footlocker?" he suggested. " Okie dokie" I said smiling. He smiled back and grabbed ma hand as we headed towardz Footlocker.

"Oh look at this shirt Adri..u like?" Brian asked as he put tha shirt up to his chest. " Yeah!..it lookz great u..go try it on!!" Adri suggested. " ok ok..i'm goin..don't have to impair ma hearin!! geez..hahaha" Brian laughed. Adri stuck her tongue out in retaliation. Brian stuck his out too and dissappeared into tha fittin room. Adri looked around and saw a really nice sweater. It waz blue..his favorite color. She secretley bought it and would suprise him when they got back to tha hotel. When the salesman gave tha bag to Adri she quickly hid it in her Victoria Secret'z bag as Brian danced into tha room modelin his new shirt. Adri laughed and clapped. Brian bowed and went to pay for tha shirt. " So..where do u wanna go now?" Brian asked. " Dunno..Gucci?" Adri answered. " Sure sooundz cool..maybe i can find some slackz there." Brian commented. Adri nodded and they were on their way. At Gucci Brian browsed around and found some slackz he waz lookin for. Adri on the otha hand found a nice dress shirt and a leather jacket. After they rung it up and paid for it they just continued on ther way browsin.

A.J and Amanda were at Footlocker. " A.J would u please hurry up?..this suckz soo bad..u alwayz buy shoez..u have too many!!" Amanda whined. " Would u just shut up for one minute?..Damn woman." A.J growled fustrated. Amanda gave him a dirty look and walked to tha women'z section of tha store. A.J told a clerk to get him tha correct shoe size and he sat on one of those benches to wait for his shoe. " Hey!!..Omigosh!!.. R u A.J McLean of tha BSB?" A gurl asked. She looked no more than 16. " Y yes i am..can i help u?" A.J asked nicely..he waz alwayz nice to his fanz. " Yeah!!..Could u please sign this?" tha gurl handed him a footlocker reciept. He chuckled and autographed it. Tha gurl said thank u and left tha store in a hurry. " Nice gurl...haha" A.J chuckled. Suddenly he noticed someone inparticular walkin into tha store. "Annie" A.J said to himself. But she wasn't alone.." Justin?" A.J asked himself. " Yo Bone!!..Wazzup man?" Justin said while reachin his hand out for some dap. " Oh..sup Justin?..Ya'll here to promote ur album rite?" A.J asked tryin to make conversation. " Yeah..ur vacationin huh?" Justin asked. " Yup..2 whole weekz" A.j smiled. " That'z kool..we all need breakz sometimez" Justin commented. " Word" A.J responded. " Oh yeah..lemme introduce u too a fine gurlie i ran into at A/X" Justin said and dragged annie from behind them. " Hey A.J." Annie managed to say. " Hey Annie..sup?" A.J asked. He waz jealous to see them 2getha..and holdin handz. " Nuttin much..Amanda here?" Annie asked with anger in her voice. " Haha..yeah..she here somewhere" A.J laughed. " Wait a minute..ya'll know each otha?" Justin asked confused. " Yup yup..we stay on tha same hotel floor" Annie answered. " Oh that'z cool." Justin answered. " Well..A.J it waz cool runnin into ya but come on Justin..let see what would look gud on u" Annie flirted. " Grrrrrr..haha..aight then see ya Bone" Justin said. He playfully growled at her. A.J just smiled and watched out of jealousy as they walked away hand in hand. A.J couldn't help but sit there and watch them flirt back and forth. It waz killin him actually. He had to tell her how he felt..if not..he'll never get a chance wit her.......

"Hey those look cute hunny!" Annie squealed. Annie couldn't believe she actually called him hunny. " Oh shit" she thought. Justin who waz pretendin to model tha shoez for her suddenly stopped. " What did u call me?" he asked. " Oh..i'm sorry..i didn't mean it ..it just came out." Annie said out of embarrassment. " No No..it'z ok...u can call me that n e time BABY..haha" he laughed and smiled. Annie waz relieved he didn't take her seriously. " Hey Annie?" Justin suddenly asked while ploppin down next to her on tha bench. " Hmmm?" Annie responded while lookin at him. " I know we haven't actually known each otha long but would u consider goin out with me 2nite?" he asked with hopeful eyez. " That would be hella great!" Annie squealed. He smiled and kissed her on tha cheek. She smiled back as he got up to pay for tha shoez he waz gettin. Annie touched her cheek where he kissed her and felt as if she waz in a daze. She suddenly snapped out of it when she felt some onez eyez on her. She looked around to see who waz lookin at her..." A.J" she said quietly as she saw him about to leave tha store. Before he left he turned around and looked into her eyez. Even in tha distance between them Annie could see tha hurt and anger in his rich brown eyez. Annie looked away. She didn't know how to react. Why waz he so mad?..He has a gurlfriend..Why would he care if i'm with Justin? All these questionz flooded into her mind and made her even more confused then tha time they had that "incident" in tha hallway. " Annie? Annie? Baby?..u ok?" Justin said with a concerned look on his face. " Huh?..Wha...Oh hey hunny?..sup?..ur done?" Annie said as she came back to her sensez. " Yeah..see" he said as he raised tha bag to her face. Annie grabbed tha bag and her purse and ran out tha entrance. Justin laughed and chased her. " Gotcha!!" he yelled as he caught her around tha waist. " Yeah Yeah..whateva..I let u catch me" Annie laughed. " Oh really?" asked Justin. Annie nodded. Justin took this oppurtunity to kiss her. Annie noticed him lean closer and closer to her face. Just as their lipz were about to touch.." Hahahaha!! Ewwwww!!" Brian laughed as he watched tha couple inch closer togetha. Adri stood there watchin also and so were tha rest of tha gang...includin A.J. Adri smacked Brian on tha arm and gave him a dirty look. " Owwww..that hurt." Brian whined. Adri rolled her eyez and continued lookin at Annie and Justin. " Uh..hey guyz!!..wuzzup?" Annie said happily. " Nuthin!" they replied in unison except A.J who looked angry. " Wazzup ya'll..how'z it goin?" Justin asked. " Fine man..didn't know u were in town." Nick said. " Yup..promotion" Justin answered. Justin turned to Annie and said.." So i'm guessin ya know them too huh?" " Yup..they're ma homiez...haha" Annie replied with a cheeky grin. " Well..it'z almost 12 guyz..I'm hungry!" De stated. " I'm with her" Nick agreed. " Wanna go to McDonald'z guyz?" Nhi suggested. Evryone agreed and headed that way. " Well..u guyz go ahead..i gotta go meet tha rest of tha guyz at Starbuck'z. Here'z ma cell number baby..haha" Justin laughed. " Haha..okiez..here'z mine." Annie stated. " I'll call ya to make plan'z aight?" Justin questioned. " Coo...buh byez Hunny" Annie gushed. " Peace baby." Justin gave her a hug and he trotted on his way. As he left Annie turned to face evryone lookin at her funny. " What?..waz sumpthin in ma teeth?" Annie laughed. " Hahaha..ooohh..Annie'z gotta boyfriend..Annie'z gotta boyfriend!!" Adri and Brian chanted. " Whateva!!..haha" Annie rolled her eyez and walked ahead of tha group. Evryone found it funny but A.J...he didn't find shit funny bout that. " I hafta tell her soon" he thought.
