Chapter Twenty-Five
"Time to have fun!" AJ proclaimed as he got off the plane. The rest of the guys just looked at him like he was nuts. Kevin felt the need to remind AJ that they were there to concentrate on working and not there to party. "Hey Brian, what's up with AJ?" Nick asked. "Him and Breyana aren't getting along so well these days. I guess they went to her house to get the rest of her stuff and Kyle showed up creating problems between the two of them. Breyana didn't even take AJ to the airport." Brian explained. "Man, that's just wrong." Nick said. "So of course you know how AJ handles situations like this. Once again, we are going to have to keep an eye on him." Brian suggested to the rest of the guys. "I don't think it's in our contract to be AJ's keeper." Howie stated. "Well, we don't want to read about AJ doing something stupid in the papers right Howie?" Kevin spoke up. "Yeah, I guess you have a point." Howie agreed. While the four of them were talking among themselves AJ had managed to find a rather attractive desk clerk at the hotel and decided to do a little flirting. Brian noticed and grabbed AJ by his arm to casually pull him away. "What are you doing, I was talking to her." AJ protested. "Let's get something straight, we are not here to party or pick up chicks, we are here to work. Besides don't do this to your relationship." Brian said with a stern look in his eyes. "Listen Rok, Breyana made it very clear to me before I left that she needed a break from me so that's what I'm giving her." AJ explained. "No, what you are giving B, is a reason to leave you and go to Kyle if you keep up this act of yours." Brian retorted. "I can't believe you just said his name. I came here to get away from all that and you just put it in the middle of my thoughts. Thanks Brian." AJ mumbled as he walked away.
Meanwhile, Breyana felt the urge to call Lynn and get the scoop on things back home. "Hello" a males voice said through the phone. "Hello, is Lynn there?" Breyana asked. "Brey, is that you? It's Kyle." "Yeah, it's me, is Lynn there?" She asked again. "Um no, she just stepped out for a minute." Kyle replied. "Okay, well let her know that I called." Breyana stated. "Wait, she will be back in a minute, you can talk to me in the meantime." Kyle said hoping she would stay on the phone. Lynn was there but Kyle didn't tell Breyana that little bit of info. He wanted to talk to her to find out how things were with her and AJ. "Listen Kyle, I'm sorry for the way Alex treated you. He's a jealous person sometimes a little too jealous." Breyana started to explain. "That's alright, don't worry about it. All is forgiven. Where is he anyways?" Kyle inquired. "He went to the Bahama's on business for the next 2 weeks. He is there working on the next album." Breyana replied. Kyle thought this was perfect. AJ wasn't around to cloud her judgment of Kyle. He had 2 weeks to make her realize AJ could really offer her nothing except a life of screaming fans and hotels. "So are you guys fighting because of the other night?" Kyle asked trying to sound as if he was just making polite conversation. "Well, things haven't been that great since the whole throwing out thing. We haven't talked all that much." Breyana opened up to Kyle telling him how the past week had been for her. Letting him know every detail. She was playing right into his hands. What was supposed to be a one minute conversation turned into a 2 hour conversation. Breyana looked at her watch and noticed the time. "Wow, we've been talking for 2 hours. Where is Lynn?" She inquired. Now that Kyle had established a freindship with Breyana once again, he casually told Breyana that Lynn had just walked in and handed her the phone.
AJ sat in his room just staring at the phone. He wanted to call Breyana but knew that she probably had nothing to say. He was finding it difficult to concentrate on the reason they were there which was to work. "Augh, I need a drink." AJ said to himself. He went to the mini bar in his room and fixed himself a drink. Just as he finished his drink he decided to venture out of his room and go for a walk. He hated being there alone. He wished Breyana was there with him. As he reached the lobby he noticed the girl he had flirted with earlier. "Hi" he quietly said as he passed her. "Hi" She softly said back. "I'm Amanda." she said as she held her hand out to shake AJ's. "I'm AJ McLean" He responded as they shook hands. "I know who you are, you're from the Backstreet Boys." She said tring to sound innocent. "Yep, that would be me, a Backstreet Boy." AJ said back in a sarcastic tone. "Did I say something wrong?" Amanda inquired. "No, it's just that sometimes I wish I could live a normal life. What's it like?" He asked "Well my life is pretty boring, I just sit behind this counter day in and day out working. There's nothing really exciting to it." Amanda replied. "Well since you life is so boring, what are you doing later? Would you like to get something to eat?" AJ asked not even thinking of Breyana at this point. "Sure, what time?" Amanda questioned. "Um, well I have to work for a couple of hours so let's say 9ish'?" AJ said. "That works for me, I get off at 7 so that will give me time to go home and change." Amanda said as her eyes lit up with excitment. "I'll meet you here at 9 then." AJ said as he walked back up to his room without a thought of Breyana in his head.
