~~~If You Knew What I Knew~~~
~~~~~~CHAPTER 12~~~~~~
The girls of Charmed all sat around their dressing room talking. Elena sat down on the couch. “Okay, we have to make a decision soon. We have a month left before we have to go back to the states. Two days out of the 8 that we have a break we have to shoot a video.” Laura rolled her eyes. “Can’t we deal with this later.” Danielle shook her head. “We can’t. That’s what we keep saying; ‘we’ll do it later.’ The Firm wants us to make a decision by next week or their going to pick the next single for us.” Christina sighed. “Can we do this tomorrow. I don’t feel good at all. I can’t think.” Elena ran her hands over her face. “Fine. But we have to think of something tomorrow.” They all stood up. “I’m going to get something to eat.” Gina said. They all followed her. “I’ll be down to the cafeteria in a second.” Danielle shouted to them. She got up and started to put her CD’s away that they were listening to. Kevin quietly walked in the room and saw Danielle facing the other way. He walked up behind her and slowly wrapped his arms around her. He started to kiss her neck. She giggled and turned around to face him. He smiled. “So, I’m here. You wanted to talk so let’s hurry up and talk so we can make out.” Kevin said as his eyebrows rose up and down. Danielle lowered her eyes. “That’s the thing. Am I just someone you like to make out with or am I more than that.” “Your much more than that.” He said. “I want all of you.” Danielle put here hands on her hips. “Oh really...” Kevin rolled his eyes. “Not like that…I mean like that but…” He paused for a second to get his thoughts together. “I want you as a girlfriend. I want you as a best friend. I want you to be someone that I can talk about anything to. And I want you to be able to do the same with me.” Danielle kissed him on the lips. “I can talk to you about everything.” Kevin smiled. “That’s good to hear.” He pulled her close and kissed her.

Drew walked down the hallway of the hotel and heard some laughing and talking coming from Nick’s room. He walked in and saw Nick and AJ sitting on the ground playing B-Ball on Playstation that Nick had hooked up to the TV. Gina sat on the bed behind AJ rubbing his shoulders and occasionally clapping for him when he would score a point. Jeff, Karen, Brian and Elena all sat on the other bed talking. Drew stepped in. “Hey, no one told me there was a party going on.” They all looked over at him and said hello. Drew sat down on the bed Gina was sitting on. “Do you guys know where Laura is?” Karen nodded. “Yeah. She went to get coffee with Pat.” Drew shook his head. “Oh.” Drew knew Laura had been hanging out with Pat for a while now. He was one of the dancers. The girls were friends with him for a few years. Laura and Pat would flirt a lot. Drew knew she had feelings for him and that made him a little jealous. Karen stared at Drew. “You okay?” Drew sighed. “I don’t know. I think I made a mistake by telling Laura I just want to be friends.” Brian rolled his eyes. “Ya know, I don’t understand you at all, dude. You tell her that you just want to be friends, she goes and moves to another guys and now you want her. Bad timing.” “I think you should tell her how you feel.” Gina said. Drew nodded his head. “I plan to.”
Laura and Pat were goofing around backstage. Pat would tickle her and she would get up and chase him around. Drew was watching their every move. All the dancers had to get ready so Laura was left all by herself. Drew walked over. “Hey Laura.” She smiled. “Hi Drew.” “So…um…you and Pat are getting pretty close. A lot of flirting huh?” She smiled. “Yeah, he’s great. I mean he has been my friend for a while but I always have had some feelings for him.” Drew sighed. “Laura, I want to be more than friends. I made a huge mistake by telling you that I didn’t.” Laura was surprised by what he had said. “What?” She asked. Drew moved closer and kissed her softly. Laura pulled away. “But Drew I’m with Pat now.” “You mean your ‘with him’ with him?” She nodded her head. “You told me not to wait so I didn’t.” Drew lowered his eyes. “I don’t want to come between you and another guy but please give me a chance.” Laura sighed. “I have to think about this. Give me time.” Drew shook his head. Laura was called for to get ready. “I have to go.” Drew watched as she walked away.

Elena was lying in her bed. She couldn’t get to sleep. Even though Bill had left a month ago her heart was still empty. Soon her thoughts moved from Bill to Brian. It seemed as if he was the only thing that made her happy. Did she have feelings for him though? She smiled. ‘Of course I do. I have just been to blind to see.’ She quickly got out of bed and walked down the hall to Brian’s room. She had to do this. She knocked on the door. After a few moments he opened the door rubbing his eyes. “Elena it’s 3 am.” “Brian…I ..” She stopped for a second and then grabbed his face and kissed him passionately. When they pulled away Brian was smiling. “Am I having another dream or did that just happen?” Elena giggled. “It happened. Wait a minute…another dream?” Brian’s face quickly turned beat red. Elena decided not to get into it she was just happy that he dreamed about her. “Brian when I’m with you it makes me feel like…well the way I felt with Bill only better.” Brian nodded. “I feel the same way when I’m with you.” Elena smiled. “So…” Brian wrapped his arms around her. “So I think we should see where these feelings take us.” “Good idea.” Elena agreed. Brian kissed her quickly then said, “But it’s 3 am and I’m tired so can we work this out tomorrow.” Elena nodded and went back to bed, falling asleep right away.
