"Oh, nothing."
"You were looking a the Playboys weren’t you?"
"Those pullouts are just so good!" he joked.
"Shame on you, Brian Littrell!"
"What do you expect?" joked Nick. "His favorite song is ‘A.D.I.D.A.S.’"
Howie laughed. "He’s a shark on the phone but I really don’t like being alone in a room with him," he said, taking his line from "Saturday Night Live."
Brian blushed. "You know I’m not like that."
"He’s worse!"
"You’re right. You guys see right through me. I’m just a sex driven fool!"
"Oh my God, that sounded like Brian Littrell," said the voice of a teenage girl. "Is that him there?"
Without looking, Brian slouched in his seat.
"No," said another girl. "Brian’s taller than that. It can’t be him."
"Yeah, you’re right. Hey, our flight’s gonna leave. Let’s go." They both left the lobby and got on the plane.
"Look what your sex crazed mind almost got us into!" exclaimed Nick.
"Shut up, Frack," he said while laughing.
"That was close," said Kevin. "When you get going, you get loud."
"I know, I’m crazy like that."
After an hour of hanging out in the lobby, A.J. and Patricia came back in the almost deserted airport. "We’re back!" yelled A.J. As they dropped off her luggage they kissed each other. They kept kissing until Howie interrupted them.
"We have a record!"
They stopped kissing. "For what?" he asked.
"You two have been suckin’ face for a minute and nine seconds," said Nick.
A.J. lifted his shirt, showing his ‘69’ tattoo. "Sixty-nine seconds. My lucky number, baby!" he said, patting his washboard stomach.
"So you did get that tattoo," said Brian.
"Yep. Oh, and D, thanks for keeping time."
"No prob, Bone."
"Time me and Andrea!" joked Brian.
Andrea didn’t laugh, but gave him a weird look.
He wondered what she meant by that but decided to let it go and not ask.
"Anything exciting happen while we were gone?" asked Patricia.
"I got a new Beanie Baby," said Nick, happily playing with his Millennium bear.
"Gee, how exciting."
"We’re just a bunch of party animals," said Andrea. "Damn, my leg fell asleep." She uncrossed her legs, accidentally dropping her book.
"I’ll get that," said Brian.
"No, that’s okay. I’ll get it." They both leaned over for the book. Their hands touched as they reached it. Andrea was face to face with him.
He looked at her in confusion. "You got that?"
She just looked into his eyes.
"Earth to Andrea."
"Oh, um, yeah, I got it."
He sat back up.
She did the same after getting her book. "So…how much longer ‘til our flight takes off?"
"About forty-five minutes," replied Kevin.
A.J. swept Patricia off her feet into his arms. "Well I’m ready to go now." He sat down with her in his lap.
"Oh, Howie," said Nick in a girlie voice.
"Oh, Nick. I love you," he said back.
"Shut up you two," said A.J.
Nick pretended to go sit on Howie until he kicked him in the butt. "Ow! What was that for?"
"Don’t sit your ass on me!" laughed Howie.
"Hey, Andrea. Brian looks lonely. Why don’t you go sit on his lap?" joked Nick.
Instead of giving him her usual smart allelic response to a joke like that, she darted him a look.
"I was just joking! Geez."
There’s something going on with her, thought Brian. I just don’t know what. I hope she likes what I’m going to give her soon.
