“Hey Amers, I’m home” Kat replied, walking in the door.
“It’s about time, girl. It’s almost five o’clock”
“I know, but there was so much to do at the studio”
“Sure, you know you were staring at Nick’s butt the whole time”
“Amy! How could you say that?”
“Kat, please, it’s the truth”
“Okay, so I took a glance here and there”
“You can look but you can’t touch”
“But I just want to grab it”
“Kat! We’re talking about Nick Carter’s butt here”
“And you have problem because?”
“You are just so…ARGH!”
“Could you clean yourself up a little? They’re coming over in a few”
“They as in all five of them?”
“Nope, Kev and Howie have business to attend to so it’s more like Nick, Brian, and AJ”
“Thanks for letting me know ahead of time”
“No problem”
“I’ll be back” Amy said, getting off the couch and walking into her bedroom.
There was a knock on the door so Kat decided to get it. She opened it to find the three guys.
“You guys were quick”
“We live across the hall. Isn’t that ironic?” Nick answered.
“I guess it is” Kat replied and led them into the apartment.
“You boys just sit on the sofa while I get some drinks”
“Okay, we’ll be waiting” AJ replied as Kat disappeared into the kitchen.
“Are you gonna check her out some more, or are you actually gonna ask her out?” Bri asked.
“Huh? What? Talking to me?” Nick said.
“That’s what I thought” Bri answered as Kat came out with 3 Pepsi’s and a Root Beer.
“Who’s the Root Beer for?” AJ asked.
“It’s for me, I despise Pepsi” Kat said, giving a angry look.
“Are we the only ones here?” Nick asked.
“Actually, one of my roommates is getting changed. You met her this morning”
“Oh Amy, right?”
“Yepps, and Meg’s at the Gym”
“Meg? Does that mean there’s a third person living here?” AJ suddenly asked.
“Yes I think so, AJ. Maybe, just maybe, that means she’ll be back any minute”
“Really? Then I’m staying here”
“So you’re not interested in Amy?” Bri asked.
“No offense, but she doesn’t seem like the type, my type that is”
“Okay, hate to say it, but I got to go” Brian replied and stood up.
“Why so soon?” Kat asked.
“It’s been a long day. I feel like resting up”
“Whatever, Bri. We’ll see ya later” Nick answered as Brian walked out the door. The same moment, Amy walked out of her room.
“Sorry I took so long. Couldn’t decide what to wear” She answered, than grabbed Kat’s soda and took a sip. “Aww, root beer. Can’t you at least try Pepsi?”
“I told you, I despise it and that little girl on the commercial is annoying”
Just then, Meg walked through the door and set her things on the floor. AJ saw this and decided to make a move. He walked over and stood behind her.
“Hey there. You’re Meg, right?” He asked in a whispered tone, which scared the shit out of Meg.
“AAAHHH! Bastard!” She replied, spinning around and punching him in the eye.
“Shit! What was that for?” He asked, falling to the floor from loss of balance. Nick started to laugh while Amy and Kat tried to hold back giggles.
“I am so sorry. It’s just I’ve been taking a self-defense class, and you scared me shitless”
“I will definitely never do that again”
“Here, let me help you up” She said and helped him up. She than actually saw who it was. “OH MY GOD! I punched AJ McLean out! I am beyond sorry”
“It’s alright, I’m sure I’ll live” He said, still covering his eye. Kat, Nick, and Amy were all in hysterics, “Do you have any ice or something?” He asked.
“Yeah, follow me since they’re too busy laughing their asses off” She replied as they both walked into the kitchen. He hopped onto the counter as she retrieved the ice from the freezer.
“I’d say you’re doing pretty well in this class, right?”
“Yeah, I’m coming along pretty good”
“That’s cool” He replied as walked over with the plastic bag of ice, “Promise not to hurt me?”
“Pinky swear it” She answered, holding up her pinkie as she linked his and they shook on it, “Now this is most like going to sting or have some kind of reaction”
“Trust me, I know. I’ve been in this situation way too many times”
“Then you should be a pro at getting hit by women” She answered, putting the ice on his swollen eye.
“It’s not my fault they think I’m trying to get it on or that I sneak up on them”
“I’m surprised you weren’t warned by those two. I get scared very easily”
“That’s never good” He said smiling, making her smile also, “Hey, I got a good response from you”
“I think you just might be on my good list now” She said.
Their eyes suddenly locked and before they knew it, they were inching closer to each other. Meg dropped the ice next to AJ on the counter as he took her chin in his hands. They kissed, their lips barely brushing. It deepened as AJ tried to slip his tongue in, making Meg realize what she was doing. She broke away, feeling completely stupid.
“Wait, what am I doing?” She asked herself.
“Last time I checked, you were kissing me”
“WE were kissing each other and that shouldn’t have happened”
“Don’t know about you, but I liked it”
“I just met you five minutes ago, for goodness sakes”
“So? That doesn’t mean anything”
“It does to me. I’m sorry” She said and was about to walk out when AJ grabbed her arm. He spun her around and kissed her once more. Meg couldn’t push him away, so she wrapped her arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Again, Meg broke away.
“Now what?” He asked.
“Well, I don’t think this is the best place,” She paused and kissed him, “For that”
“You do have a very good point there” He answered.
“Did you guys get lost in the kitchen or something?” Amy shouted from the living room.
“No, we were just…refilling the ice tray” Meg replied quickly.
“Oh alright, don’t take to long ‘refilling now’” She answered as the other two laughed.
“You got to give her credit for that one” AJ replied laughing.
“Thanks for taking my side” She replied, lightly smacking him on the arm, giving AJ the invitation to grab it and pull her in for yet another kiss.
This time, neither one of them cared who came in and saw them. Amy walked in, went over to the refridgerator, grabbed a Pepsi, then walked back out. She stopped suddenly and tried to put the pieces together, turning around slowly. She stared at them, her eyes wide with disbelief. Than she burst out laughing, returning to the living room, disturbing AJ and Meg. They gave each other strange looks, than heard Amy say, “They’re refilling the ice tray alright” She replied as everyone else just laughed, including the two caught in the act.
