Chapter Five

Riiiinnnnng!! Riiiinnnnng!!

"Yeah?" said Tiela as she picked up the phone.

"Happy to hear from you too," said Nick.

"Sorry, it’s kinda early isn’t it." She said, looking at the digital clock that read 4:34.

"Well, I guess. Do you want to come watch the sun rise with me?" he asked sweetly.

"Why not, Nicky?" she said playfully.

"Okay great. I’ll be there in five minutes."

"I’ll be ready," she replied, energetically, now fully awake.

"Bye," said Nick.

"Toodles," she replied.

Sarah stormed into the room as soon as Tiela hung up. "Who in the world is calling at 4:30 in the morning?"

"Oh, that was Nick. We’re gonna go watch the sun set." She said.

"Oh, that’s sweet of him." replied Sarah.

"Yeah, it is." She said, dreamily.

"Well, I’m awake now, so I’m going downstairs." Said Sarah.

"Okay" replied Tiela.

"Have fun," she said as she shut the door.

Tiela was in the bathroom, when she heard a soft knock at the door. She quickly finished putting up her hair and walked over to the door. "Hey Nick" she replied as she opened the door wider so he could come in.

"You ready to go?’ he asked quietly.

"Yep let me just get my coat," she said.

"Okay, I have to go get something too, I’ll be right back." he said, with that they both disappeared.

When she came back AJ, Kevin, Howie, and Brian were standing with Nick. "Whoa,"

"Sorry, I didn’t tell you they were coming, they all threatened me if I didn’t let them go. " said Nick.

"It’s okay, Brian, Sarah’s up why don’t I call her for you?" she said.

"Okay,"

"Sarah!!! Come here!!!" screamed Tiela, but not too loud to wake any of the others up.

"Tiela!!!! Uhhh, nooooo!!! I’m relaxing, you and Nicky boy had to wake me up!!!" she replied sarcastically, not knowing the guys were there already. With that the guys started laughing, except for Nick, who was turning a crimson red.

"Be right back, I know what’ll get her to get up off her lazy ass." She stated, and left the room hurriedly. Tiela went into the living room where Sarah was watching the All Access Video. It was on the part where Brian is talking about there wardrobe changes. Tiela went over to Sarah and whispered something in her ear.

"What?!? Oh my god!!!" she screeched this time loud enough to wake Trisha up.

She ran past the guys and up the stairs. "She’ll be down in a minute," said Tiela, who was laughing hysterically.

"What did you say to her?" asked Kevin.

"All I said was, that Brian was here. I guess she likes him, but who knows with her. Are you ready to go, Nick?"

"Yep," Nick took her hand and led her out of the house.

"She likes me?" Brian said aloud, not meaning to.

Just then Trisha came down the stairs not knowing the guys were there. "Hi, Howie." She said not realizing what she had just said. "Howie!!!!!!" she screamed and raced up the stairs.

"What did I do?" asked Howie. AJ was sitting next to him, he was laughing so hard he was crying.

"I think your face scared her, man." Said AJ.

"Shut up," Howie retorted.

"Hey, AJ." Said Emily, as she entered the room.

"Hi," said AJ, who stopped laughing to check her out.

"What’s the matter, Howie?" asked Emily, seeing his look of distraught.

"Nothing. I’m just kinda shocked. That’s all." He replied.

"Oh yeah, Trisha wanted me to tell you that she is sorry she acted like such a fool. She was just embarrassed that you had to see her like that." Said Emily, chuckling.

"Phew!" said Howie, letting out a sigh of relief. Trisha then ran into the room.

"Sorry, Howie." She replied, looking very guilty.

"It’s okay," he said. She was wearing black bell bottom pants and a gray and black army shirt to match.

"What took you so long, did you fall in the toilet?" Emily asked, sarcastically.

"Yeah whatever, Emmie." She said, giving her the evil eye.

"I’m going swimming, anyone wanna come?" asked Emily. "Ashley already said she would."

"Said she would what?" asked Kevin entering the room form the kitchen with Brian.

"Go swimming with me, you wanna come?" she asked.

"Sure," said Kevin.

"We’ll come too," said AJ, Trisha, and Howie.

"Well, I’m gonna go get changed. Are you guys gonna wear your boxers in?" she asked.

"I guess so," said Kevin.

"Okay, be right back." she said, as she scampered up the stairs, with Trisha on her heels.

"Ohhh, she’s fine." Said AJ.

"Calm your hormones, man." Said Brian.

"Shut up, B-rok." AJ retorted.

"Sarah, are you gonna come swimming with us?" asked Trisha.

"Sure, give me ten. Are you gonna do it Emmie?" asked Sarah.

"Maybe," she said.

"Oh god help us," replied Trisha. "Please god help the guys too."

"Oh goodness, it’s not that bad." Said Emily.

Five minutes later they were all in their bathing suits. Trisha was wearing a purple one piece bathing suit. Sarah was wearing a dark blue bathing suit, with black stripes down the side. Ashley was wearing a sky blue one piece. Emily was wearing a dark blue with yellow stripes down the side. It was a halter top-short bathing suit. All of the girls went downstairs, except for Emily who had other plans.

"Guys, Emily will be down in a minute, she said to go in without her." Said Ashley.

"Okay," they all replied.
