Chapter   Twenty-Eight

Four days later....

"ALRIGHT, PEOPLE, LET'S BREAK FOR LUNCH!!!" the director yelled out.

Everyone disappeared in about two minutes. Brian, Nick, AJ, Howie, and Kevin headed towards their dressing room to get out of wardrobe. They were on the set of "Get Down (You're The One For Me)" on the first day of filming. All five guys were exhausted, having done the same dance routine about fifty times. Well, maybe not that much, but it sure felt like it to them. After getting dressed in their regular clothes, the Boys walked out to the lunch area to get something to eat. Brian, Nick, and AJ saw VJ, Alisha, and BJ had arrived and was talking to some of the crew members. They went over to their girlfriends and sat down next to them.

"So how's the shoot going?" VJ asked, looking at Brian.

"We've been doing the same dance routine for hours," Brian said, tiredly. "I feel like the walking dead."

"Awwww, my poor little B-Rok is tired," VJ said. "Come here, honey."

VJ held out her arms and Brian scooted over like a little kid in need of comfort. BJ and AJ laughed as Brian got a big smile on his face when he laid his head on VJ's shoulder and she put her arms around him. Nick and Alisha were in their own little world. VJ looked at them whispering.

"What are you two talking about?" BJ asked before VJ had a chance to say anything.

"Nothing," Nick and Alisha said in unison.

"You two have been acting weird lately," AJ commented. "What's up with you?"

"Nothing's up," said Nick. "We're just having the usual talk about everything." Nick looked at Alisha. "I'm hungry. Are you hungry, Ali?"

"Yeah, let's get something to eat," she answered.

The two of them got up from their seats at the table and walked over to the table piled high with food. Brian, VJ, BJ, and AJ just watched them walked away.

"It's official," AJ said.

"What's official?" Brian asked.

"They did it," AJ told them.

"They did what?" VJ looked at him weird.

"What do you mean 'they did what'?" AJ said, exasperated. "They had sex."

"What?! No way," said Brian in disbelief.

"How would you know?" asked VJ. "Were you there?"

"Hell no." AJ shuddered. "Marisa and I were acting the same way the first time we did it."

"You and who?" BJ looked at him.

"Remember that girl I told you about a couple months ago in Sweden?"

"Oh yeah. I forgot about her. Continue."

"Anyway, our friends noticed we acted sort of different, too. I bet if you asked one of them, they would freak out and act like they'd been caught."

Brian and VJ looked at each other, concerned.

"I knew it," VJ said, quietly.

"That Saturday when you had that weird feeling?" Brian asked her.

BJ and AJ looked at them, feeling totally clueless.

"What are you guys talking about?" BJ asked them. "What weird feeling? VJ, you didn't tell me about a weird feeling."

"I was over at Angel's apartment last Saturday," Brian told them. "We were watching a movie. During the movie, Angel got this weird feeling about Nick and Ali. She asked me what I thought they'd be doing at that moment. When I asked her why, she said she had a weird feeling something happened to them, but not in the bad sense."

"I guess I was right," said VJ. "We told them to slow down, that they could end up doing something they weren't ready for."

"Maybe they both felt it was time," reasoned BJ.

"After two months? Hardly," said Brian. "I just hope they don't regret it later on in their relationship."

"But wait a minute," said VJ, suddenly. "We're talking like we know for sure when we don't. We could all be mistaken."

"I don't think we are," AJ said. "But, for their sake, I hope so."

They all got quiet as Nick and Alisha walked back over to them, their plates crammed full of food. The two couples watched the youngest of the three couples and got the feeling they were right.

"Ali, did you and Nick have sex?"

Alisha looked at VJ over the magazine she was reading. "Why do you ask?"

"You two seem to be a little more.... I don't know. In tune with each other. I don't know how to put it, but you're giving us signals."

"You mean Brian, BJ, and AJ are thinking the same thing?"

"As a matter of fact, yes." VJ went and sat down next to Alisha on the couch. "Ali, I'm not going to give you a lecture. I just want you to tell me the truth."

Alisha looked at her in silence for a few moments. "Okay," she said. "No, we didn't have sex. We made love. Both of us felt that it was time. I know it's only been a little over two months, but I feel like I'm in love with him. I wanted to show him and this was the only way I could think of."

"I know the feeling."

"Did you and Brian...."

"No, no, we didn't.... yet."

"So there is gonna be a time?"

"I don't know, maybe." VJ gave Alisha a sly smile. "So, was it everything you hoped it would be?"

"And more," Alisha smiled back. "But I think Nick was feeling a little insecure after, since it was his first time and not mine. So, without letting him know I knew, I told him it was the most beautiful thing I'd experienced. And it was. I didn't think it could be like the way it was with us. I think the first couple of times weren't as meaningful as this time."

"Just tell me one thing."

"What?"

"Did you use protection?"

Alisha laughed at how motherly that sounded coming from VJ. "Yes, VJ. Nick was the perfect boy scout in that department. I guess he had a feeling it would happen soon."

"It's good to know the guy thinks," VJ said.

The two cousins sat there in silence for a few minutes, then both got a revelation.

"Did you just get the feeling...." Alisha started.

"....that something big is about to happen?" VJ finished.

They looked at each other as the feeling they shared got more prominent. They didn't know what to think, so they just let it pass between them, neither wanting to figure out what it meant.
