“God, I’m exhausted.” She moaned closing her eyes.
“Exhausted after shopping? You really need to get your exercise babe.” Theresa giggled walking past them and down the hall to her room.
“Shut up Theresa.” Stephanie yelled as she stifled a yawn.
“Hey we have messages.” Lisa smiled when she noticed the blinking red light of the answering machine. Pressing play, Lisa headed into the kitchen to grab a soda still listening to what everyone had to say.
‘Message one: Theresa babe, this is A.J call me whenever you get a chance.’
‘Message two: Hey girls, its Kevin. I’m just calling to see if you three wanted to go to a club with me and the fella’s. Call me back later. And Stephanie, I love you.’
“Aww isn’t that sweet of him.” Stephanie cooed from the living room.
“Oh hush.” Lisa rolled her eyes.
‘Message three: Hey Lisa…um…well it’s been a while since we’ve talk…but I was just calling to see what you were up to. Call me later if you want.’
Lisa nearly spit out the drink she had consumed when she heard the message.
“WOAH! Lisa.” Stephanie laughed entering the kitchen. “What was that?”
“I don’t know.” She giggled quietly. “Maybe he was drunk.”
“Nah, he sound sober to be.” Stephanie pressed winking at her. “Maybe you two should get back together.”
“No!” Lisa stated shaking her head. “I don’t think so.”
“Ok, ok. Just an idea.” Stephanie put her hands up in defense.
“That’s what I thought.” Lisa smirked.
“Ok guys I’m back.” Theresa said bouncing bubbly into the kitchen then heading for the refrigerator to grab bottled water. “Any messages from A.J?”
“Awfully confident aren’t we?” Lisa laughed.
“Why be confident when you know he’s gonna call you.” Theresa smiled pointing her finger to the ceiling the taking her other finger and wrapping it around it.
“Yeah that is true, you do have him wrapped.” Stephanie giggled.
“I know.” Theresa smiled. “So what did he say?”
“He just wants you to call whenever you get the chance.” Lisa rolled her eyes.
“Cool. Well I have a chance.” Theresa said taking the cordless phone from the cradle and walking towards her bedroom.
“Don’t run down the battery I still have to call Kevin!” Stephanie yelled.
“I wont!” Theresa yelled back.
-Meanwhile-
“NO WAY!” Abby voice laughed through the phone.
“Yeah, I swear I slipped and fell in front of thousands of fans.” A.J chuckled embarrassingly into the phone.
“Don’t worry. When I was dancing for Aaron Carter I accidentally ripped my pants.” Abby stated.
“You use to dance for Nick’s little bro?”
“Yep. That’s how I got this job.” Abby informed. “That’s some awesome art work on your arms.”
“Thanks. I noticed you had one. What does it say? I couldn’t really read it…well you know because it’s in old English.” A.J asked as he leaned against the back of the couch.
“It says ‘Abby’.” She replied. “How old are you anyway?”
“21.” A.J said. “You?”
“19.” Abby answered. “You got a girlfriend?”
“Yeah. She’s 18. Have you heard of the girl group eNVY?”
“I’ve heard of them but I don’t really know who they are.” Abby stated.
“Oh well she’s a member of the group. Were all suppose to go to a club tonight. Want to join us?”
“Sure, what time?”
“Um…not sure I’d guess around 9pm…” A.J was cut off with a beep. “Hey Abby hold on I’ve got a beep.”
“Ok.”
Clicking over A.J answered, “Hello.”
“Hey baby.” Theresa’s voice filtered through the line.
“Theresa…baby…um how are you?” A.J stuttered a bit, what would she do if she found out he was talking to another girl on the phone.
“I’m great.”
“Hey can you hold on I have someone on the other line.”
“Ok. I’ll be here.” Theresa smiled into the phone.
“Ok.” He said clicking back over. “Abby?”
“Yep.”
“Can I call ya back? Theresa’s on the other line.”
“Sure. I guess I’ll see ya tonight?” Abby asked.
“Yeah. Later.”
“Bye.” As soon as she hung up he clicked back over.
“Baby, are you still there?”
“Nah, I disappeared.” Theresa joked. “Of course I’m here. So who was ya talking to?”
“Some friend of mine.”
“Really? Is going to be going to the club tonight?” Theresa wondered.
“Yeah she is.”
“She?”
“Um…yeah her names Abby. She’s really nice Theresa. I think you’d like her.” A.J stuttered a bit afraid of his girlfriends reaction.
“Hmm…really? Well then I can’t wait to meet her.” Theresa sighed. Why did it seem all too familiar to her??? Like she was going back into the past?
-Later-
Dressed in a knee length black skirt and a sparkly baby pink back-less tank, Stephanie dialed Kevin’s phone number as Theresa, who was clad in a short black mini with a thick strapped leopard print see-through tank top, fixed Stephanie’s black hair into a messy ponytail.
“Kevin?” Stephanie said into the phone when he answered.
“Hey babe.” His voice replied.
“Which club are we suppose to be going to?” Stephanie questioned her boyfriend.
“Well A.J told me to meet him at the club called Strangland.” Kevin answered.
“Ok, baby. Well I’m gonna get off here and we’ll meet you at the club around 9.”
“Ok. Bye.”
“Bye.” Stephanie kissed into the phone then hung up placing it on the bathroom sink.
“What’s the clubs name?” Theresa asked.
“Strangeland. Weird name.” Stephanie shrugged as she just sat there as Theresa sprayed some hair spray onto her hair.
-At the club-
“Abby, you made it.” A.J smiled as she watched her walk towards him. She was decked out in a silver halter top and a pair of tight black leather pants and hung closely to her curves, then to finish it off, her cause was pulled back in small twists.
“Yeah of course I did. Me passing up a night at a club….I doubt it!” She hollered over the loud music.
“Lets go get something to drink.” A.J suggested taking her by the wrist and dragging her to the bar.
“Hey baby!” A male’s voice called as Abby walked by. Abby just smirked and rolled her eyes as she continued to follow the hot man in front of her.
“What would you like sweetheart?” The bartender asked.
“Um…give me a corona.” Abby smiled winking at the semi-cute waiter as he started on her drink.
“Hey A.J!” Nick and Brian’s voice could be heard as they walked up behind the two.
“Sup Nick and Bri.” A.J nodded at them, then noticed Brian’s blue eyes travel from Abby’s back to him. Shaking his head in disappointment, Brian immediately said that he was going to dance and left. “Want anything to drink bro?”
“Nah, not right now. I don’t wanna smell like alchol when I try to catch me some ladies. Abby turned around on her stool and laughed at Nick.
“Good choice. Drunks are major turn off’s.” She said sweetly winking at the tall blond.
-At the same time-
“Who the fuck is that??” Theresa hissed when she noticed a beautiful young lady talking to A.J.
“Waoh! Theresa calm down.” Lisa said soothingly as she fixed her flesh colored tank top and dirty denim jeans.
“Theresa its probably a fan.” Stephanie reassured as she scanned the club for Kevin.
“Well I’m about to find out.” Theresa huffed straightening her shoulders and strutting her way to A.J causing every man to take notice of the young blond wearing a leopard print trench coat. Coming up behind him, she smoothly wrapped her arms around his waist and licked his earlobe. “Hey sexy.”
“Oh, Theresa you nearly scared me.” A.J chuckled turning and meeting her lips in a passionate kiss. When they pulled away Theresa eyed the brunette suspiciously then said, “Whose she?”
“Oh well I feel rude, Theresa this is Abby. Abby this is Theresa.” A.J introduced them. The two guys looked at each other, as if examining each other.
“Hi.” Theresa finally smiled walking out from behind A.J and shaking her extended hand.
“Nice to finally meet you.” Abby smiled politely looking at A.J. “I’ve heard so much about you.”
“Oh really?” Theresa scoffed looking at A.J who just shrugged.
“What can I say?” A.J chuckled wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close.
-With Stephanie-
“There you are Kevin.” Stephanie smiled as Kevin came and sat next to her, Nick, Brian and Howie.
“Sorry it took me so long…” Kevin trailed off kissing his girlfriends cheek. “But I couldn’t find a shirt to go with these pants.”
“Your so silly baby. Now you’re acting like me.” Stephanie giggled resting her head on his shoulder.
“See what kind of effect you leave on me?” Kevin snorted draping an arm around Stephanie shoulders then leaning down and kissing the top of her head.
“Well guys I’m gonna go have a dance. See ya.” Nick winked at the couple as the turns of ‘I Wanna Know’ by Joe came on.
“Oh I love this song.” Stephanie cooed running her hand up and down his leg.
“As do I.” Kevin smirked rubbing his hand up and down her side.
“Kevin stop! That tickles.” Stephanie giggled pulling away and playfully slapping him.
“Sorry baby, couldn’t help it.” He chuckled kissing her lips sweetly before grabbing her hand and pulling out to the dance floor.
