Chapter Fifteen
It was almost 8 O'clock and Brian promised Breyana that he would have AJ back by then. Breyana was in the bathroom putting the finishing touches on her make-up and hair. She thought she looked stunning. It's not often she got dressed up anymore since she left her job to be with AJ. She was wearing a ankle length pale yellow speghetti strap backless dress which complemented her olive skin. She knew AJ would love the dress since it was his favorite color and it exsentuated her figure. The closer it got to 8 o'clock the more nervous she became. Just as she was putting on her shoes the phone rang. "Hello" she said cheerfully. "Hey B, it's Brian. We are pulling up in front now, give AJ a couple of minutes to sign some autographs and then he'll be up". "Okay, I'll be waiting." she said back. Just as Brian was about to turn off his cell phone AJ grabbed it from him. AJ didn't know Breyana was on the other end. AJ thought Brian was calling Leighanne. "Hey Leigh, how's it goin'" AJ asked. Breyana didn't know how to react. She politely coughed into the phone and tryed to disquise her voice..."AAHHHEEEEMM..fine AJ, I have to go now" she blurted out. "Brian, what is wrong with your woman"? AJ inquired. "Uh, she has a cold." Brian replied. "You better keep away from her, we don't need you getting sick for the last show". AJ responded. "yeah, whatever AJ". Just as their conversation ended, they pulled up in front of the hotel.
Just as AJ got out of the van he was bombarded by fans asking him questions about Breyana. He really didn't want to answer any but he didn't want to apprear rude to his fans. He signed some autographs and chatted with them for about an hour and then made his way upstairs to his room. Since Breyana and AJ couldn't go out to a resturaunt due to recent events Breyana decided to bring the resturaunt to them. As AJ put his key in the door, Brian walked past and patted AJ on the shoulder and said good luck and have fun with a funny smile on his face. AJ looked at Brian like ..what in the heck are you talking about. Breyana could hear AJ's voice on the other side of the door and felt the butterflies in her stomach. AJ walked through the door to find Breyana standing in a candlelit room. He noticed how breathtaking she was. He was actually rendered speechless. Just at that moment, Brian peeked in before the door closed and gave a thumbs up to Breyana. "When did you do all this"? AJ asked. "While you were working." Breyana replied. AJ kept fumbling with something in his pocket and Breyana took notice. "What's in your pocket"? she asked. "Nothing" AJ was quick to reply. AJ changed the subject by telling her how beautiful she looked. "I hope you're hungry" Breyana said. "Yeah, I actually am, I didn't have much to eat after that stupid interview" AJ replied. "Let's not talk about that right now, lets just concentrate on us and what this day is." Breyana said to AJ. "I feel underdressed" AJ remarked. "Don't worry, soon you'll feel overdressed" Breyana replied with a smile on her face.
Just as they finished their dinner they heard a ruckus in the hallway of the hotel. AJ quickly got up to see what was going on. When he opened the door he saw about 15 girls running down the hallway after Nick. "What's going on" Breyana asked. "Just Nick teasing the fans again." AJ said in reply. When he turned around to face Breyana again he noticed that she was looking out the window in a daze. He couldn't get over how beautiful she looked. He loved her dress especially the backless part of it. He came up behind her and slid his arms around her waist. She found his touch comforting. They sat there for awhile just holding each other. Breyana had on AJ's favorite perfume, he couldn't get enough of her. He especially loved the way her hair fell down her back. Breyana was so in love, she couldn't imagine her life without AJ. Breyana turned around and asked AJ to dance with her. She loved the way their bodies molded into one when they danced together. They danced to one of Breyana's favorite songs. It described how she felt for AJ.
~Always~
I never knew a love like you before
You came into my life and gave me more
You are my friend-also my man
And I'll love you always
You just don't know what you've done for me
You gave me love and now I'm complete
You are the sun, the only one
And I'll love you always
Baby don't leave me
Don't ever dessert me
I'll promise my life to you
And I'll love you always
As the song ended, AJ went to the bedroom to get something out of his bag. When he came back into the room he was holding a long slender black box. AJ walked up to Breyana and gave it to her. "Happy Anniversary B" AJ said. Breyana opened the box to find a diamond tennis bracelet inside. "It's geourgeous" She said. "I hope you like it, I looked forever for it." AJ said. "Thank you Alex, it's wonderful." "There's more, look under the pillow on the bed." AJ told Breyana. "I don't need anymore" she said. "Please, just go look" AJ said to her. As she walked into the bedroom she felt herself get nervous. As she lifted the pillow she found a journal underneath it. Without knowing, they had both gotten each other journals. She opened it up to the first page and read what AJ had written.
Breyana,
This journal is for you and I. It's purpose is to contain words that express our love for each other. I started by writing you a simple poem. I hope you like it.
You've been the greatest blessing
in my life, it's clear to see.
Words could never fully express
how dear you are to me.
I owe you more than money can buy
for all you've been and become.
To repay you for your strenth and love
could simply never be done.
Your faith, hope and selfless love
are qualities that I treasure.
But most of all I appreciate
The love you give beyond measure.
My heart is overflowing with pride
for all the you have been...
I'm glad you are my love
I'm glad you are my friend.
~Love Always,
Alex.
Breyana found herself speechless. This night was so perfect. She closed the journal and placed it on the nightstand next to the bed. She walked up to AJ, thanked him and then kissed him. Breyana felt Aj tuging at the tie on the back of her dress and decided to help him with it. They spent the rest of the night showing each other their gratitude and love.
