A Special Date with AJ McLean
"Hi! I'd like a choclate shake please," you say, pulling a couple dollars out of your wallet and tossing them on the counter.
You sigh and look out at the dark sky. Perfect day for a thunderstorm, you think gloomily. You grab your shake and head for the front of the nearly deserted McDonalds restaurant.
You look and see a guy in a leather jacket slam the door of his black Expedition and run into the building. Who does he think he is? AJ McLean? you think with a small smile.
"Hi!" The guy says to the girl at the counter. "I'd like a number 6 supersized with a Sprite."
"Yep," you mumble, trying to get a better look at the guy with the weird hair and dark sunglasses.
He turns around and scans the lobby. His eyes focus on you (at least you think so, but you can't see through his sunglasses) and he smiles. You flash him a smile back. He pays for his meal and heads in your direction. Your legs are shaking, and you're glad he can't see that through the table.
"Is this seat taken?" he asks, setting his tray in front of you.
"Not anymore," you say, gesturing to the empty chair. "Have a seat."
"Lovely weather, isn't it?" he asks, munching on some french fries.
"Oh heck yeah," you comment sarcastically.
"By the way, my name's AJ," he says, shaking your hand. "And you are?"
Your eyes widen and you almost drop your shake.
"Umm..."
You finally manage to spit out your name. AJ smiles. "I like that name."
You knew AJ was a flirt, but this is ridiculous. You are still a little suspicious, but it looks like AJ... tattoos and all. He's got on a cool leather jacket, baggy black pants, and his trademark sunglasses. You suddenly realize that you're staring and then focus your attention on your shake.
"How are you going to spend this lovely day?" he asks, finishing off his sandwich.
You shrug. "I was going to go catch a movie or something."
AJ stands and grabs your hand. "Great! Come to the movies with me."
You're too shocked to do anything but nod. He smiles and pulls you out of the restaurant.
"Where'd you park?" he asks.
"I didn't. I went to Mickey D's to get out of the storm, then I was going to walk to the theatre," you explain.
"Okay! I'll drive then!" he says, opening the passenger side door and helping you in.
He walks around to the driver's side and you are taking in all that has just happened. AJ McLean, your favorite Backstreet Boy and long-time celebrity crush, just ate McDonalds with you and is now taking you to the movies. Am I dreaming? you think. That must be it. I got struck by lightning, I died, and now I'm in heaven.
He pulls into the parking lot and cuts the engine. You climb out of the Expedition and he grabs your hand, leading you into the theatre.
"What do you want to see?" he asks, looking at what's available.
"Something funny," you reply.
"Two for Austin Powers," he tells the guy at the counter, opening his wallet. You start to open yours, but he stops you.
"My treat," he says, flashing that million-dollar smile.
After the movie, AJ takes you to a park. You wipe the water off one of the swings and sit down. AJ pushes you for a few minutes and then you both sit on a bench, staring at the little lake.
"This has been a great day," you say, resting your head on AJ's shoulder.
"Yeah, I agree," AJ says, looking at you.
You know what's coming but are surprised when he presses his mouth to yours. You soon find yourself kissing him back.
When you break apart, AJ gives you his cellular phone number. "I gotta go now, babe, but call me, okay?"
You nod, still out of breath from the incredible kiss.
AJ makes sure you don't want a ride and you both wave. You still can't believe what has happened, but you're definitely going to call him again. One thing's for sure. That was the most incredibled day of your life.
