~*~ More Than That~*~As they arrived at the club, Nick and Tiffany immediately hit the dance floor. The rest of them found a table. They were all sitting at separate tables but the tables were close by. Carol was sitting with A.J., Kristin was sitting with Kevin, Leighanne was sitting with Brian, and Karen was sitting with Howie. Leighanne, Kristin, and Karen walked over to Carol and A.J.'s table. Carol, were all going to the ladies room. Wanna go? Leighanne said. Sure, Carol said leaving A.J. at the table. Brian, Kevin, and Howie walked over to A.J.'s table. What's going on with you and Carol? Kevin asked snapping his fingers in front of A.J.'s face. Huh?... What? A.J. asked. Howie, Brian, and Kevin started laughing. You know A.J., I've never seen you like this before,” Howie said, not even when you first met Amanda. Carol's different, A.J. said. She's... there are no words to describe her. Since you guys aren't together, how'd she end up living at you house anyway? Brian asked. A.J. sighed. She had an abusive boyfriend and I was there when she left him. She had no place to go and I was her only friend at that time,” A.J. said. Please don't bring it up around her, cause she is a little sensitive on the subject. Plus, she thinks he might be following her. She thinks she saw him in her car when she was driving to the venue for the interview, A.J finished. The other guys nodded. Nick came over to the guys without Tiffany at his side. Hey guys! Nick said breaking the silence. Hey! Brian said. Where's Tiffany? She went to the bathroom he answered. Why were you guys so quiet the other time? Nick asked with curiosity. Kevin began explaining to Nick about Carol as A.J. thought about her. Hi, Kristin said introducing herself to Carol. My name is Kristin. I'm Carol, Carol said. Nice to meet you, So, what's with you and A.J.? Leighanne blurted out. Nothing. Why? Carol asked. I don't know. Its the way he looks at you, Leighanne said. I've noticed that too, Karen and Kristin said as Tiffany walked in. Are you guys talking about A.J. and Carol? she asked. The girls nodded. He is so in love with you. And I know that you love him as much as he loves you. Carol was shocked at Tiffanys statement. How does she know? Carol thought. Its very obvious,Tiffany said as she looked in the mirror and reapplied her lipstick. Is it, really? Carol asked the girls. They all nodded. Why don't you just tell him? Karen asked. Because... Carol said. Okay, I'll tell him tonight. But, I'm telling you guys, he doesn't look at me that way. Yeah and Britney Spears is a virgin, Kristin said as they all walked out of the bathroom and back to the guys. Want to dance, A.J. asked Carol as she came back from the bathroom. Sure,Carol answered as she took his hand. All of a sudden Brian McKnight's Back At One played through the club. Those two are so in love, Leighanne said to Brian looking at Carol and A.J. dancing. I know, Brian said In all the years I've known A.J., he has never liked a woman for more one day without asking her out. It’s probably because of what she's been through. What do you mean? Leighanne asked. Brian then told her about Carol and before she met A.J. He then told Leighanne not to mention it to Carol, since she is a little sensitive about it. As the song ended Carol and A.J. walked back to their seats. She took a sip out of her Coke and looked at A.J. What? he asked. Nothing, Carol smiled. Can I talk to you for a minute? she asked. You know, without all these people and music. Okay, A.J. said as they both walked outside. I wonder where those two are going, Leighanne said to Brian. Okay,Carol said as she took a deep breath. I know we've known each other for only a short period of time. Where are you getting at it? A.J. asked. I... Carol started. I'm in love with you. You probably don't feel the same way. I mean, how could you actually love me... A.J. interrupted her with a passionate kiss. Does this mean you feel the same way? Carol asked as they slowly pulled away. He kissed her again. Does that answer your question? A.J. said. Carol smiled. They both then walked in the club, hand in hand. Looks like they got together, Brian said to Leighanne.
