"Sabrina?"

"I’m in the kitchen." He walked down the hall and all thoughts of how much Sabrina wasn’t meant for him fled from his mind as he saw her.

She was wearing a pair of dressy black pants that slightly flared at the bottom over a pair of chunky heeled black shoes. A maroon satin tank top showed off her slightly muscled shoulders and arms. A black choker encircled her neck, and her hair was pulled up into a messy bun with many tight curls escaped from. Her makeup was more dramatic, but professionally applied. By the time his gaze made it to her face, she was smirking at his obvious perusal.

"Do you want something to drink before we leave?"

"What do you have?" She led the way out of the kitchen and into the study.

"The bar is over there. Make me whatever you are having."

She sat down on a couch and checked him out as he mixed their drinks. His hair was still rather short and tonight it was black with dark red tips, and was almost entirely hidden under a dark blue baseball cap. His baggy jeans were a dark blue and he wore a black muscle shirt under a long-sleeved black jacket-like shirt. AJ wore many silver rings on each hand and had two silver chains around his neck.

When he turned around with their drinks, Sabrina noticed that he wasn’t wearing his traditional glasses. When she asked about them, he smiled and pointed to his shirt pocket where she could see them peeking out.

"So what is this?" She asked as she took a sip.

"It’s a Sex on the Beach. You like?" His pulse shot through the roof when she grinned at him over the edge of her glass. The two chatted as they finished their drinks. Checking her watch, Sabrina stood up and took their glasses over to the sink.

"It’s almost midnight. Do you need to let anyone know where you are going to be?" AJ shook his head as he stood up.

"Nah, Nick knows that I am with you. Besides, I know that the others were going to be heading to bed early."

"Aren’t you tired?"

"I was, but now I am ready to go out. Are you ready to go?" Sabrina nodded and grabbed her bag from the front hall and locked the door as they left. She was surprised to see the limo still waiting outside for them.

"Darren is supposed to wait for me whenever I am not with the group. This way whenever I am going out, I can drink and I don’t have to worry about a ride home."

"Works for me!" AJ held the door open as Sabrina climbed in.
