The next morning, after he got dressed, AJ leaned over the still-sleeping Sabrina and kissed her awake.

"You know, I could get used to this." He smiled down at her.

"Morning sleepy-head. I didn’t want to leave you without saying good-bye, but I have to meet the rest of the group to discuss tonight’s show. Do you want to stay here until I get back, or do you want me to get you a cab?"

She yawned and stretched before sitting up. AJ’s eyes glazed over as the sheet slipped slightly.

"Nah, I can get my own ride home from here. Do you have a shirt that I could borrow though? I really don’t want to walk out of here wearing the same thing I wore to the club last night." She stood up and wrapped the sheet around her body as she gathered up her clothes from the night before. He stopped her before she went into the bathroom to change.

"Are you okay? I mean, with this?" Sabrina looked AJ in the eye and smiled.

"Trust me, AJ. I am absolutely okay with this. If I wasn’t, you would definitely know." She grasped his shirt front, pulled his head down, and kissed him soundly. "If I wasn’t, you would definitely know." Then she slipped around him and went into the bathroom to change.

AJ heard a knock at his door. Glancing over at the closed bathroom door, he went over and opened it to see Brian’s grinning face on the other side.

"So, Boner. Did you have fun last night?" When AJ grinned, Brian started laughing and pushed his way past his friend before AJ could stop him.

"AJ? Do you have that shirt?" Brian looked up to see Sabrina coming out of the bathroom. Her head was still down as she was brushing her hair into some semblance of order. When she lifted her head, she met Brian’s startled expression with one of her own.

"Hi there Brian. How are you?"

"F-F-F-Fine thanks, Sabrina. And you?"

"Good, thanks."

"Umm, Sabrina, would you excuse us for a second?"

"Sure, go ahead." Brian pulled AJ out into the hallway, but didn’t close the door all the way.

"AJ are you crazy? Sabrina was Kevin’s girl! Kevin’s! How could you?" Before AJ could respond, Sabrina came out into the hallway and glared at Brian.

"How could he? Honestly Brian! Do you think that I didn’t have any say in the matter? I am 23 years old. And who says I was Kevin’s girl? Maybe he was the one who brought me backstage and maybe if he hadn’t left, this morning’s greetings might have been a little different, but that doesn’t mean that I am bound to him forever. I am my own person, Brian. I make my own decisions. And you don’t need to yell at AJ for something that happened between us."

She pulled AJ’s shirt around her shoulders and grabbed her bag. "Bye AJ. Give me a call sometime, okay?" When he nodded, she reached up and gave him a kiss before heading to the elevator on her way home.

Brian just stood there in amazement as Sabrina entered the elevator and the doors closed. Then he turned to look at his friend. "I’m sorry I yelled at you AJ, but I really didn’t know what to think when I saw her come out of your bathroom."

AJ grinned. "Hey, no worries B-Rok. I think everything will turn out okay. And I have to agree with you. She does seem more like Kevin’s girl than mine, doesn’t she?" Brian couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

"What are you saying? That now that you’ve slept with her, you’re going to let Kevin have her? Since when do you share?" AJ cuffed Brian on the back of the head as he locked his door and they headed for the elevator.

"I am not sharing. I just know that if we hadn’t had anything to drink last night, or if Kevin had been in town, she would not have spent the night. Nothing is going to come of this between us, except for maybe a friendship." Brian looked at his friend in amazement.

"You know, Bone, I think you are finally growing up." AJ just smiled weakly at Brian as they got off the elevator.

"Growing up? Is that why letting her go seems so painful?" He thought as they climbed in the limo and headed for the arena.
