This was not something Brian Littrell did. This had AJ written all over it. Maybe even Nick, but not Brian. He wouldn't even think of doing it. But then again he had jumped from one serious reltionship to another. It had been a very long time since he had been single. It had been a long time since he felt this way for anyone and this woman happened to be someone he only knew for twenty four hours.
What the hell was going on? He came here for a few days to visit AJ and go home with him when he was out of rehab. He didn't intend to meet someone and have her turn his world upside down. He didn't intend to fall in love. No. Thats not possible. In love? It just can't happen that fast. Can it?
"I went out for some drinks last night, thats all. I was tired when I got back and fell right alseep."
Brian sat up and saw Annabel's back towards him as she sat on the edge of the bed and talked on her cell phone.
"Jeff, I told you already that the battery was low." There was a pause and then she sighed. "Alright, I'm sorry. Look I have to go." With that she ended the call and turned off the phone. She stood and saw that Brian was awake.
"I'm sorry. I didn't wake you did I?" She asked.
Brian shook his head. "Nope."
They both became silent. Brian looked Annabel over. Her hair was damp from her shower and she had on the hotel's bathrobe. Something so simple made her look increadble.
Annabel sighed and sat down on the bed takng Brian's hands in hers. "Brian about last night, I don't do things like that." Brian smiled. "Me neither." Annabel bit her lip and looked down at their hands that were intertwined. "It's just all night I was telling you how I think my husband is cheating on me and how much of a prick he can be and I don't want you to think that I used you to get back at him."
Brian moved a few strands of hair from her face. "I don't think that at all. Last night was amazing. You're amazing."
Annabel smiled slightly. "Thank you but..."
Brian interupted her. "No. No but's. I know this is crazy and I know we both leave in two days but I want to be with you for that amount of time."
Annabel kissed the palm of his hand that rested on her cheek. The butterflies she felt last night were once again fluttering in her stomach. The way he would stare at her made her feel beatiful. His blue eyes were full of understanding, compasion and very much full of lust.
Annabel moved her body on top of him and lowered her lips down to his. She felt him tug at the string that held her rob together. She moved her lips to his neck and whispered in his ear.
"I have to be somewhere this afternoon."
Brian nodded as he slipped the robe of her shoulders. "So do I. We have plenty of time." With that he pulled her towards him to meet her lips once again.
"What was the stupidest thing you did while you were messed up?" AJ asked Serena as they sat in the waiting area.
Today was the day Annabel would be attending a group meeting and she and Serena would have to discuss their problems infront of everyone. AJ told Serena he would wait for Annabel to arrive with her.
Tomorrow they left. They would be done with rehab and be forced back into the real world. AJ knew his hours with Serena were numbered unless he made his move. He wanted to ask her to come to Orlando and move in with him. He was hoping to ask her tonight after the meeting.
"I don't know. I did a lot of stupid stuff." Serena said as she looked over her shoulder and out the window. She hoped her sister was still coming.
AJ smirked. "There has to be one thing though that sticks out in your mind."
Serena sighed and sunk in her seat. "I don't wanna talk about it."
He moved his body closer to hers. "Oh it's just me. Who am I gonna tell? Come on."
Serena sat up and looked straight in his eyes. "I said I don't wanna talk about it AJ! God, how dense can you be?"
AJ was taken aback. He slowly stood and looked down at Serena in her seat. "Sorry. I...uh...I'm gonna head to the meeting. I'll see ya there."
Serena quickly stood and grabbed his hand. "AJ, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. I'm just nervous about this meeting thats all."
AJ nodded. "Yeah it's cool. I get ya. I'm still gonna head over though. You should greet your sister alone. Good luck. You'll be fine. Just remember I'll be sitting in there with ya, k?"
Serena smiled lightly. AJ quickly kissed her forehead and headed for the meeting. Serena sat back down slowly and let out a loud sigh. Her stomach was in knots. Where the hell was her sister?
