The One Chapter 6
Star gasped as the taxi pulled up to AJ's house. This couldn't be his house, but it was. AJ was sitting on the front porch, waiting for them.
"Starry!"
Star jumped out of the taxi and ran into AJ's open arms. He laughed. "I guess you didn't miss me," he said.
Star laughed and lightly punched his shoulder. "I guess you didn't miss me!"
Lisette saw the whole scene and groaned. She knew coming here was a mistake. She paid the driver and got their bags from the trunk.
"Lisette, I'll get those," AJ said. "Are you guys hungry or anything?"
"Lisette just wants to sleep," Star informed him.
"Ok. Let's go inside and you girls can pick your rooms."
AJ led them through the living room, the kitchen, and the dining room, then down a hallway. Lisette stopped before the first door she laid her eyes on. "AJ? Is this an empty bedroom?" she asked.
He turned to face her. "Yeah, it's empty. That can be yours if you want it."
"I'm really tired. I'll think I'll go take a nap," Lisette said as she opened the door. "Would you wake me up in 2 hours?"
"Sure. I'll wake you up," AJ said. "There's going to be a party here at 8."
"Ok. Night, guys." Lisette closed the door, leaving AJ and Star alone.
As they kept walking, Star asked,"There's going to be a party?"
AJ blushed. He knew he was caught. "Yeah. It's only a welcome to Orlando bash."
Star giggled. "What? You don't wanna have fun tonight?" AJ teased.
She poked him in the chest. "Watch it, Bone."
He laughed and led her upstairs. He stopped in front of a door. "This is my room," he said as he opened the door.
It looked like his room. Everything in it screamed AJ from the pale yellow sheets on his bed to the heavy oak furniture to the black leather chairs in the corner. A few feet away from the chairs was a big-screen TV.
He touched Star on the shoulder. "Wanna see the rest of the house?"
"Sure!"
They walked down the hall to the room next to AJ's. "This is yours if you want it," he said as he opened the door. Star gasped. The room was perfect for her- right down to the pale purple sheets on the bed. She turned to face AJ, who was waiting for her answer.
"AJ, it's perfect. This is where I belong," she said.
