"Kristen wake up," AJ said slightly shaking her. Kristen opened her eyes to see AJ smiling at her.
"It's about time you got up," Cassie said. Kristen noticed that everyone was already up.
"What time is it?" Kristen asked.
"It's going on noon," Kevin said. Kristen sat up allowing AJ to get up so he could stretch.
"Sorry about falling asleep on you. You could have just woken me up," Kristen said.
"It's okay. You looked peaceful and I didn't want to disturb you," AJ said.
"Okay well, I'm going to go get ready," Kristen said and left to her room. All of a sudden she felt really weird about skinny dipping with AJ and kissing him.
"Hey chica roo," Cassie said coming into the room.
"Hey."
"So who are you going to choose?"
"Choose for what?"
"Well I know some certain members of the Backstreet Boys who have a little crush on you."
"Oh boy don't I feel special," Kristen said sarcastically.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Do you realize what I did last night? I went skinny dipping with AJ and I kissed him, tongue and all."
"Um yeah, you kissed Kevin and Nick too. I was surprised you didn't kiss Howie and you Nick? Whoa. That was intense. As I was saying before, both Nick and AJ have a little thing for you. Who are you going to choose?"
"Why do I have to choose? Can't I just be their friend?"
"I don't get you. All last night I was trying to figure you out. First you are all cuddled up on the floor with Nick. Then you go skinny dipping with AJ for twenty minutes instead of ten. You kissed Nick more intensly than you should have then you fall asleep in AJ's lap," Cassie explained.
"So."
"So which one do you like?"
"I don't know. I'm just going to wait it out and see who I like and if I don't like either of them then I'll just remain friends with them. It's no big deal," Kristen said leaving the room.
"No big deal? If I was in her shoes I'd be going crazy," Cassie said to herself.
"Morning sunshine," Nick said to Kristen.
"More like good afternoon. I slept too late you guys should have woken me up cause I have to get to work in an hour."
"Where do you work?" Nick asked.
"I'm a waitress at Red Lobster."
"That has to be fun," Howie said.
"I don't think so. I hate waiting on people."
"Why would you take a job as a waitress then?" Kevin asked.
"Cause it's a job and my schedule works well around my school hours."
"What are you majoring in?" Howie asked.
"Music."
"Hey same thing as Angela," Brian said.
"Yeah but she's majoring in instrumental music and I'm in vocal."
"You'll have to sing for us sometime," Nick said.
"I'll think about it."
"I haven't even heard you sing or Cassie as a matter of fact," Angela said.
"That's not my fault you never asked."
"We are all going clubbing tonight, do you care to join us?" AJ asked.
"I don't think so. I get off at ten tonight and I'm not going to be in the mood to go clubbing. Sounds like fun though so I'll join ya next time," Kristen said.
"Well since you're not going can I borrow something of yours to wear?" Cassie asked.
"I don't care as long as it doesn't have tags on it. Now I have to go or I'll be late. Bye guys," Kristen said walking out the door. AJ and Nick watched her leave.
"You two are pathetic you know that don't you?" Brian asked.
"Whatever Brian," Nick and AJ said in unison.
"Well we better go you guys and we'll see these ladies tonight," Kevin said.
"Bye Angie," Brian said giving her a kiss.
"You know this really bites," Cassie said after they left.
"What does?" Angela asked.
"You have Brian, and Kristen will have either Nick or AJ who knows and I have no Backstreet Boys."
"Trust me dating a Backstreet Boy ain't all it's cracked up to be."
"It would still be nice though." Cassie said. Angela just laughed at her.
It was about seven when Kristen got a phone call at work. She couldn't figure out who would be calling her at work since Cassie and Angela never called unless it was an emergency so she got worried. "Hello, this is Kristen," Kristen said answering the phone.
"Hey Kristen this is Nick."
"Oh hey what are you doing calling me here?"
"Well I knew I wouldn't get to talk to you tonight and I didn't want to wait till the last minute to ask you."
"Ask me what?" Kristen asked.
"Well I was wondering if you would like to go out dinner with me tomorrow night?"
"As in a date?"
"Um...yeah I guess as a date."
"Sure I'd love to."
"That's great. I'll pick you up tomorrow at six then," Nick said.
"Alright now I better get back to work so I'll see you then. Bye."
"Bye." Kristen was very excited inside and she couldn't wait until she got to talk to Cassie about her and Nick going out tomorrow night.
At nine o'clock the guys went and picked up Cassie and Angela to go clubbing. "Where's AJ at?" Angela asked.
"He said he had to stop by somewhere really fast and he would meet us at the club," Kevin said.
"Alright well let's go," Angela said leading everyone out of the apartment. AJ didn't tell anyone that the place he had to stop by at was actually Kristen's work. He walked into the restaurant and asked to speak to her a minute.
"Kristen there is some very hot guy at the front who is wanting to see you," one of the other waitress' said to her.
"Thanks, can you cover for me for a minute?" Kristen asked.
"Sure but don't take too long cause you already had your break and the manager will have a fit."
"Thanks." Kristen walked to the front to see AJ standing there holding a single white rose. "Hey AJ, what makes you stop by here?"
"Well all of us are going out and having fun except you who is stuck here working so I'd thought I would stop by and say hi and this would be for you," AJ said handing Kristen the rose.
"Thank you AJ. That was sweet of you."
"Well I better go now since I only stopped by to see hello and you have to get back to work."
"Alright, thanks again."
"Any time," AJ said leaving to go to the club. He got to the club and spotted the others right away.
"Sure did take you a long time Bone. Where did you go?" Nick asked.
"Just to a friends house."
"You probably had to go check out another girl," Howie said.
"I guess you could say that. Where is Kevin and Cassie at?" Brian pointed to the dance floor. AJ looked where he was pointing at and saw Kevin and Cassie grinding together on the floor.
