"Man, It's 12:50 am and we don't have a car back to the hotel..." AJ said
"And Deborah hasn't called"
"The only thing that we can do is drive all of you to the hotel" Maya said
"Nope, I don't think that's a great idea... we don't want you to drive at 1 am alone in the streets" Kevin said
"We could take a taxi..." Bri said
"Taxis don't come up here" Maya replied
"Amaya, could you come with me to the kitchen for a sec?" Krystel asked
"Yeah, come on" Amaya replied
As soon as the two of them went to the kitchen all the girls followed.
"Maya, do you think that the guys could stay here with us?" Krystel asked
"How could you think that! This is not even our house... " Carla said.
All the girls agreed.
"Well... My mom is in San Juan... We're home alone now... " Amaya said
"But... do you think this will not piss your mom off?" Alexandra asked
"Remember, she's not here!" Amaya said with a mischievous smile.
"Well... that means that the guys can stay here for tonight?" Yve asked
"Yep... but with one condition... The guys stay downstairs and we stay upstairs in our own rooms..." said Maya with a determined look.
"Ok... I mean... that's the best thing" Krystel said
"Let's tell the guys..." Yve said
When the girls were going to tell the guys that they were going to stay there for that night, they were surprised of what they saw. The guys were sleeping peacefully each one in the couch where they were sitting.
"Aw! Look at them..." Alexandra said
"They are angels... look how cute they sleep" Carla replied
"They are hot even if they sleep" Maya added
"Look guys... I'm really tired and I wanna go to sleep " Yvette said
"Wait, wait wait a moment!" Amaya ordered
"What?" Yve said with a drowsy look.
"Nick and you were very close on the beach... what happened???" Maya said
Everyone nodded in agreement wanting to know the truth.
"Ahhh guys... we didn't do anything... we just talked and joked around… I will tell you later... Now, I'm too sleepy..." Yvette said
"Well girl, go to sleep!" Alexandra said "I'm going to go to sleep too..."
"Yah, I think we're all going to sleep!" Carla said
"Shhhhh... You're going to wake up the guys!" Krystel said
The girls tiptoed to their own rooms being aware to not wake the guys... They talked a little bit and then they went to bed.
Alexandra woke up at 3:30 am and found Carla reading some magazines.
"What are you doing up???" Alexandra asked
"I'm not sleepy... that's all..." Carla said
"Well, I woke up because I was thinking of something I wanna do with the guys..."
"What are you two doing up?" Amaya asked very sleepy
"Well, we're thinking to make some joke to the guys down there" Carla said with a smile.
"I think I'm completely up now" Amaya said
"Of course you're completely up… YOU are the creative mind around us..." Alexandra said
"Oh, I cant possibly take all the credit!... Yvette's my partner in crime... Oh wait guys I have an idea..." Maya replied
"What idea?" Carla asked
"Let's prank the guys..."
"That's great! Let's wake Krystel and Yvette up and let's do it before the guys wake up!" Alexandra said
The three girls got up and walked over to the room next door where Yvette and Krystel were sleeping...
"Dudettes! Wake up! We're gonna have a little fun... " Amaya said
At the mention of fun, Yvette's eyes popped open
"Ready?" asked Alexandra
"I was born ready" Yvette replied
Although Yve was up in an instant, Krystel took a little more persuading. She would not respond to any of the girls attempts to wake her up. Then, Carla got an idea.
"Hey Krystel... " she whispered "I just heard Maya and Brian talking alone down there" Amaya stared at disbelief. Krystel woke up and lounged for Amaya.
"I was kidding" Carla shouted
"I'm innocent" Amaya shouted
"Shut up!" Alexandra shouted
"You'll wake the guys up!" Yvette rationalized
"Sorry" Krystel, Carla and Maya said in unison.
"Maya, will you please explain to them your magnificent plan?" Alexandra said in a mock serious tone.
"Thank you, Alexandra... Ladies and dudettes, we are gathered here - she checked her watch- this dawn, almost, to celebrate the holy plans of operation prank."
Yvette and Krystel grinned. Then, Amaya opened the door and motioned for them to go wait in the hallway.
"Today, I'm thinking of food..." Carla said "Maya, What food products do we have available?"
"It's one way to find out" Maya replied
So the five girls tiptoed down the stairs, were especially quiet in the living room, where the guys were sleeping. Then, they went to the kitchen and turned on the lights. AJ was standing in front of the fridge with a glass of milk. The girls were surprised and AJ was surprised. Then, he blushed and turned around facing opposite to them. Then, the girls realized that they were wearing their pj's, not day clothes.
"Oops" Carla said
"Yeah" Krystel agreed
Amaya was too embarrassed to say anything.
"Don't be a little kid" Alexandra said "You can turn around"
Of course, Alexandra was the only one who was wearing decent pj's... he did turn around...
"I'm gonna kill her" Amaya thought
At first Carla, Krystel and Amaya were a little uneasy but then slowly got used to the idea...
"What are you guys doing? You all got thirsty at the same time?" AJ asked
"Not quite... we were..." Yve started
"We were gonna play pranks on you guys" Alexandra said
"Really?" AJ's eyebrows shot up interested
"Yeah..." Alexandra answered.
"I hope I'm not interfering with your plans" AJ said
"Oh, not at all" Amaya said as she bustled around him gathering things in her arms.
"Alexandra... catch!" as she threw a bag of flour. Alexandra stared at it like toxic waste. She continued throwing different items at the other girls, and forgot about AJ.
"And for me..." she said as she grabbed a can of powder kool aid, raised in triumphantly in the air and turned around, then saw Yvette, Krystel Alexandra, Carla and AJ looking at her weird.
"Guess not..." she said disappointed when she saw AJ, realizing that she couldn't prank him.
Yvette and Alexandra made their way into the living room. Krystel Carla followed. AJ followed Krystel and Carla and Amaya followed AJ cause she didn't have anyone to prank. The four girls set to work. Alexandra worked some flour into Howie's hair. Yvette worked blue cool aid into Nick's locks. Krystel removed Brian's shoes and socks and poured honey all over his feet. Carla shook the bottle of whipped cream and worked Kevin's hair until it was standing up. After they were done, they put back the stuff in the kitchen and tiptoed back to the rooms. When they got upstairs, they noticed that Amaya was missing.
"Um... Amaya?" Yvette asked into the darkness
"Maybe she stayed downstairs adding special touches to the pranks" Carla suggested
"Maybe she stayed downstairs for another reason" Yvette suggested mischievously.
They decided to let make her own decisions and went to their respective rooms.
.......................................................................
"So, Maya, were you surprised when you saw us yesterday?" AJ whispered
"Awfully" Maya said.
AJ and Maya were sitting on the only free sofa in the living room; The other three sofas were occupied by Howie, Kevin, Nick and Brian, who were still sleeping peacefully.
"I'm really sorry to barge in like this... I mean.. we don't even know you... your mom could kill us"
"Yeah, well.. It's not the first time I pull something off, she's not going to find out"
AJ was surprised at the mention of pulling off stunts.
"So, you've had other sleepovers with cool aid, honey and whipped cream?"
She chuckled softly "No, but I've had parties until the wee hours under my mom's nose. Anyway, I don't wanna talk about me... Tell me about you. I wanna know everything..." She emphasized everything, risking flirting.
"What do you mean you don't know anything about me?- he replied with the serious surprise in his voice- You probably know more about me than I do!"
"Sure, you were born on January 9th 1978, your complete name is Alexander James McLean... but I don't know anything about you! Are you sweet or are you an @$$hole? Are you friendly? Antisocial?
"Well, probably not… THAT…but I'm really really friendly... and funny I hope... and I like to shop"
"So, should I be led by your look or is that just an image?"
"Nah... I like to dress like this to scare people off... It kind of let me do what everybody else wished they could do... 'sides I get bored a lot -he paused- I've never stayed with one girl long... I'm too restless... -he felt her lean against him- what about you? - he saw her eyes close- I sure don't know anything about you..." But she didn't answer. She was asleep…
"Look at her..." he whispered. After watching her sleep peacefully he took a cushion and put it under his head to use as a pillow, careful not to disturb her.
.......................................................................
About an hour later, Alexandra was still awake. She had decided to wait up for Amaya after such a long stay downstairs. She decided to go check up on her. Alexandra was surprised at what she found. Amaya was asleep, rested against AJ's chest and AJ had his arm around her.
