knowing all the poppies want me, but all I want is you.

I Do-Toya

“Um, Rachel, There is now way we’ll be ready in an hour.“ Liz pointed out.

“Don’t worry. Have you ever met a guy who is on time for anything? Plus, It’ll take them forever to find my house.” She had to laugh at the thought of the 5 guys trying to drive through the winding roads and trying to find her street. “I mean, I practically live in the forest.”

“Straight past Narnia and left at the cow mail box!” Elyssa chimed in.

Two and a half hours later the guys arrived at Rachel’s house. She heard the doorbell, and when she opened the door she found JC standing on her front step.

“You have no idea how hard it was to find your house. You live in the friggin Boonies!”

“Good to see you too JC.”

“Wait a minute, weren’t there 4 of you?”

“Liz, Erika, and Elyssa are upstairs, they’ll be down in a sec. Do I even want to know where the guys are?”

“They’re waiting in the car. Justin is driving, consider yourself warned.” Just then Liz, Elyssa, and Erika came down, and the 5 if them walked out towards the car. As she got closer she could hear the guys catcalling.

“Ow ow! Damn you look fine!”

Rachel smiled and spun around quickly so they could see. She looked pretty good tonight. She had on a pink, backless triangle tank top that ended in a point just above her bellybutton and a pair of low rise white pants that hugged her body. It was a little more revealing then what she normally wore, but it was perfect for The Edge. That was totally her scene and she felt comfortable letting loose and doing whatever there. It was one of the few places where she could just be herself.

“O wow, Justin brought the Benz! Arriving in style...I like it.”

When Erika, Elyssa, and Liz walked up, Joey jokingly tried to shield his eyes with his arms. “Damn girls, think you have enough glitter on? I think I’m blind.”

They all looked at each other and laughed. “Twinkle twinkle!” Chris stuck his head out the passenger window and whispered to Rachel,

“Do they always talk in unison?”

She had to laugh at his frightened expression.

JC got into the back seat next to lance and Joey. The 4 girls had to squeeze in and sit on there laps.

“Ow! Rachel, you have the worlds boniest ass.” Joey complained.

“O shut up Jo. You know you love it.”

Just then Liz sat down on his other leg.

“Ow! I take it back, you have the second boniest ass. This isn’t fair!” Joey whined piteously. JC laughed as Erika sat down on his lap.

“I never thought I’d hear Joey complain that too many girls were on him.” Elyssa sat down on Lance and they were off.

“So, have you guys been to The Edge before?” Rachel asked.

“Nope.”

“You’re gonna love it. Its so much fun. Plus, its the place to be. By the way, Justin, you are old enough to get in, right?”

“Of course I am.” He sounded hurt that she thought he was under 18. In truth, she had know he was 18, but she couldn’t resist the chance to flaunt the fact that she was older then him, even if it was only by a couple of months.

“Thats good, its bad enough trying to get Erika in.”

“You mean she’s not 18 yet?”Justin asked, shocked.

“Nope, she’s the baby, and we love to torment her about it.”

“Oh please, don’t get them started,” Erika pleaded. “Besides, you know you could get him in anyway. Rachel has mad connections.”

“What can I say, people like me.”

20 minutes later they arrived at the Kentlands. They took a left turn and The Edge came into view. Somehow they managed to find a parking spot. The line to get in was around the block.

“Oh, man, we’re never gonna get in.” Chris whined disapointedly. The girls just laughed.

“Watch the master, guys!” Rachel called out over her shoulder. She walked up to the bouncer and they followed right behind her.

“Hey Rob! Whats up? It looks packed tonight.”

“Rachel! We were wondering if you were gonna show.”

“I always do. I brought some friends with me tonight, think you can get us in?”

“You bet I can, I have the power here, baby!” Rachel laughed and hugged him.

“Thanks, you’re a lifesaver!” He waved them all inside. The guys were totally blown away. They looked shocked to have gotten in so easily. Joey spoke up first.

“Wow, will you marry me?”

“I think you already asked me that today.” she shook her head and disappeared into the crowded dance floor.

“We definitely have to take her out with us more often.” Justin said. He sat down at a nearby table. Erika sat down next to him, and JC sat on her other side.

“I’d think you could get in anywhere because you’re, well, you.”

“Well, there are a lot of perks to being famous, but some people don’t let us in because we’re us. Its kinda crazy.” JC explained. Erika just nodded. She only caught about every 3rd word, but how focused can you be staring into those eyes? Justin broke her trance when he asked where everyone else was. Without turning to look she responded.

“Is there a huge crowd in the middle of the dance floor? Rachel’s in the center grinding away, Liz is standing by the DJ requesting songs or flirting with anyone and everyone, Joey is at the bar trying to pick up chicks, and last time I saw Elyssa she and Chris were trying to start a conga line.”

Justin scanned the crowd and saw that everyone was exactly where she said they would be. “wow, I’m impressed.”

Lance found himself at the center of the crowd. He turned around to see Rachel dancing with some guy. When the song ended she walked over to him.

“Is Erika foaming at the mouth yet?” Lance laughed at that.

“Nope, but she looked ready to jump JC.” Now it was Rachel’s turn to laugh.

“O my god, she’d kill you if she heard that!”

The music started and without even thinking about it they moved closer and started dancing.

Erika was watching from back at the table, and she almost fell out of her chair. “Woah, Mississippi Boy can DANCE! Go baby, go! Liz walked over to the table to join them.

“Now that is grinding! Come on Justin, let’s go show them they’re not the only ones who can do it right.” They headed towards the dance floor together. Erika and JC looked at each other, shrugged, and followed them.

“Yo Mississippi, where’d you learn to dance like that?” Justin called out. Rachel laughed.

“They don’t call it the dirty south for nothing, baby!” She turned and high-fived Lance. “What’s wrong? ‘thrustin Justin' can’t keep up?” He smiled at her playful tone.

“Is that a challenge?”

“You walk the walk, and you talk the talk, but can you back it up?”

“bring it on, girly!”

Everyone stopped to watch. The two of them were totally unaware that everyone was in a circle around them. Their focus was on the music, the movement, and each other. Erika walked over to where Liz was standing.

“Wow, this is gonna get interesting. O my, where did she get that move? Damn, you can see the sparks flying between those two. I give it 10 days before they hook up.”

“I don’t think so. She’s still all hung up on Bryan.”

“ooooooo, the plot thickens. This could get ugly. Its gonna be one hell of a show, thats for sure.”

“oh, you know it.”

“Wow, how did she do that thing with her hips?” JC asked, truly amazed.

“What, this?” Erika asked, demonstrating. JC’s jaw dropped and his eyes bulged slightly. Liz had to laugh at his comical expression.”Do that again.” was the only sentence he was capable of forming. Erika giggled slightly and complied with his request. Liz just rolled her eyes, but she had to admit they made a really cute couple.

Elyssa walked over to stand next to Liz and Erika. The three of them stood there facing JC, Lance, Chris, and Joey.

Justin leaned forward to whisper in Rachel’s ear, “Looks like there’s gonna be a showdown.”

“Trust me curly boy, you don’t wanna mess with us. You are so going down!” His eyes sparkled mischievously.

“Bring it.”

They broke apart and Justin walked over towards the guys and Rachel joined up with Elyssa, Erika, and Liz.

“Guys, Justin just challenged us to a dance off. He thinks they can do better. I think there’s only one way to solve this.”

They all looked at each other and yelled “ Booty Call!”

The group left at about 2 am. They walked out still laughing and joking.

“O man, did you see JC try an bust a running man?”

“hahahaha, he fell on that poor girl and she just went down. Bam!”

“I can’t believe you guys even tried to upstage us at Booty calling. We shamed you and we did it in heels! O baby!”

The girls all slapped hands in victory before piling back into the car.

After the guys took the girls home they immediately started in on Lance.

“Damn man, I didn't know you could grind like that.” Joey said, clearly impressed.

“It was nothing. Rachel just knows how to dance.”

“That wasn’t just dancing man, she had you up against a wall.”

“O get over it guys. We were just caught up in the song.”

“So you didn’t care at all? You were just caught up while she had you up against the wall?” JC asked in a sing-songy voice. “up, up against the wall.” he sang under his breath.

“What about Justin? You guys looked like an R-rated save the last dance.”

“up, up against the wall.” JC continued, ignoring Lance’s attempt to change the subject.

“we started grinding and she had me up against the wall.” Justin joined in. “hmm, we might have something here, J.”
