"Psst! Mercedes! Come here!" It was Cass. Mercedes went over.
"What?"
"Introduce me to them. Pleaz?"
"Ok, come on."
"Guys, this is my best friend, Cassidy Starr. Cass, the guys." AJ jumped up and grabbed her hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Cassidy." And then he kissed her hand. "Nice to meet-" And then she fainted. AJ was right there and he caught her. "I never knew I could have that much of an effect."
"Why don't we take her back to our room?" asked Howie. But Kevin interjected.
"I don't know. Maybe we shouldn't. With the media...."
"Oh, come on Kev. I'm sure it'll be fine." Everyone turned to see Leighann standing there.
"Hi guys. I don't think it would hurt anything." Then she walked over and gave Bri a kiss on the lips.
"Where's Kristin?" Kevin asked her.
"Back at the hotel room," she answered.
^back at the room^
"Wow, nice room," Mercedes said.
"Thanx," replied Kev. "Honey, I'm home." He called to Kristin.
"Hi baby!" She said as she ran to him. "Who's this you came back with?"
"Oh, this is Mercedes Nyznyk, the girl that interviewed us," Brian said as he pulled her over.
"Mercedes, this is Kristin. Kristin, Mercedes."
"Nice to meet you. I hope they all behaved."
"Oh, they were great. I had a lot of fun," she replied.
"And this is Cassidy Starr, her best friend," AJ said as he lay her down on one of the beds.
"Oh my gosh! What happened to her?"
"AJ," the boys all said at the same time.
"I told her it was nice meeting her and kissed her hand and she fainted," AJ said.
"Working that ol' AJ charm are we?" Everyone turned to look at the door way. it was Howie's girlfriend, Suzanne.
"Hi babe," she said and gave Howie a kiss.
"I didn't mean to," AJ said with a half smile.
"Ya wanna sit down?" Nick asked Mercedes.
"Ya, sure." Nick led her to the bed without Cass on it and they sat down.
