AJ got back around 1:30 am. I heard him and Nick come through the door.
"Aww, look they're sleeping," I heard Nick say in a quiet voice. "Are we going to take them home or are they going to stay here?"
"I'm not sure. Let's wake them and ask," AJ said turning off the TV and turning on a dim light. "Babe," he shook me gently.
"Yeah I'm up," I said sitting up I saw Vanessa sitting up as well.
"Do you guys want to go home tonight?" Nick asked us. "I'd really like you to stay though," he said looking at Vanessa.
"Angela, do you want to go home?" she asked.
"I don't think so it's kinda late."
"Great," AJ said kicking off his boots. "You can sleep here then."
"Vanessa you can sleep in my room. I have sweats and a shirt you can wear," Nick said as they stood up to leave.
"Alright, see you tomorrow," she waved to A.J and me. They made their way to Nick's room.
"So would you like a pair of sweats?" AJ asked.
"Yeah please I'd love to get out of these jeans," I took my sweater off. AJ was digging through his drawers and suitcases and a big pile of clothes on the closet floor.
"You know what? My sweats are dirty right now and I don't think you'd like wearing dirty stinky sweats. You wouldn't mind a pair of boxers would you? Clean ones of course," he held up a pair.
"No I don't mind," I said thinking of what Amanda had said. He threw them next to me along with a long sleeved shirt. I started changing still thinking if I should tell him what she had said.
He turned around as I took my pants off, "Oh sorry I didn't know." He turned around and looked away quickly.
I giggled. "It's alright AJ. I have my bra and underwear on. It's like seeing someone in a bikini. It doesn't bother me if you see. I mean it's not like you haven't seen girls in their bra and underwear before or anything."
"Oh okay I hope you don't mind but I sleep naked," he said about to take off his boxers.
"Uh, AJ wait!" he hadn't got them off yet.
"I'm just teasing you. I won't sleep naked around you until you're comfortable with it," he said with a smile on his face. "So do you mind if we sleep in the same bed? It is a king size bed and I'll be a perfect gentleman."
I looked at him. "Well okay but don't get any funny ideas," I said smiling.
"Man it was so crazy at the conference. There were so many people. Outside there were so many girls it was crazy," he said as we laid down.
He put his arms around me. He felt so soft and warm. I could feel his warm breath in my hair. I heard him chuckle. He kissed my head then out of no where he started singing playfully: 'Something about the way you moved caught my eye...'I sat there listening to his sexy voice. He got to my favorite part of the song: 'Tonight, we'll find, find just what we've been looking for good, good loving and a whole lot more so hold on real tight hold me and don't you let go! Until I tell you to! Yeah...'He stopped there because he yawned.
"Good night baby," he said and kissed my head again.
"AJ," I said I had to tell him what had happened. "I need to talk to you about something," I told him what had happened earlier. He sat up and turned the light on next to him. He didn't say anything after I had finished. "Well is it true? Would you go back to her if she wanted?"
He still didn't say anything. I shook my head I couldn't believe this, I hoped out of bed and grabbed my pants and put them on.
"Baby..." he started.
"Oh shove it!" I interrupted. He didn't say anything I took his card out of my pocket and threw it on the bed.
"Where are you going? It's 2:00 in the morning!"
"Anywhere. Just out of here!"
"Look it's not ... I mean ... I'm sorry..." he started again.
"AJ you don't need to say anything!" I said as I walked out the door. I started running down the hall not noticing where I was going. That's when I bumped right into to somebody and fell on my ass. I started crying then a hand reached down and pulled me up. I looked at the person who had helped me up. It was Justin from *Nsync.
"Oh just what I need," I said sobbing. I looked at him and started laughing. His big ol'fro looked so funny on his little head. I couldn't help it.
"Hey why don't you come with me and tell me what's wrong," he said. I reluctantly agreed.

Meanwhile...

"So are you saying you have feelings for her but... I don't get it Nick. You need to explain yourself better," Vanessa said annoyed that Nick was so scatterbrained right now.
"Look I love her. I met you yesterday and I really, really like you, but if she needs me I'm not going to turn my back, you know?"
"That's not the point! Would you go back with her if she wanted you too?" "Not while I am happy with you but if..."
"Oh Nick, just forget it!" she turned and went out the door. "Where the hell am I gonna go now?" she muttered to herself. She found her way to the room that I was in with Justin.
"I'll get that," Justin said as he answered the door. We were both surprised to see Vanessa there. She was surprised to see me. We exchanged stories.
"How could we of been so stupid?" I asked her.
"We are not stupid it's just ... we just liked them too much."
