Chapter 5: Somebody's Somebody
"So, Brian where were you headed?" AJ asked.
"I just went over to take care of some things with Leighanne." he said.
"Oh really?" AJ asked taking a break from Amanda's constant kissing.
"Yeah," Brian said sighing and sitting down next to Amanda.
Sensing that her time with AJ would be put on hold, Amanda went into the kitchen to fix herself something to eat, while playing with Tyke in the process.
"So, does it mean..." AJ started.
"Look, Bone, I'm feeling tired right now, so I'll try and answer your questions tomorrow." Brian said getting up and heading for my room.
"Geez, what's wrong with him?" Amanda asked grabbing the strawberries out of the refrigerator and sitting down next to AJ.
"I don't know. Where's Kev and Howie and the gang?" AJ asked looking around, for any evidence of where the 4-some would be.
"Kev and Kat are somewhere upstairs.. and Howie and Claudia are out by the pool." Amanda said getting a red strawberry and feeding it to him.
"Ok, cool." AJ said graciously eating the ripe fruit.
"Are you gonna kiss me or what?" Amanda asked.
"I thought you'd never ask.." AJ said.

"What were you doing?" Justin asked, as he approached me.
"Me? I wasn't doing anything." I said batting my eyelashes at him.
"That's one thing, I can't resist are those eyes." Justin said running his fingers along my forehead.
"You've got beautiful eyes yourself," I said looking into them.
"Ashley!" Joey yelled. I sighed and turned around.
"Joey what happened to you hair?" I said touching his neon red hair.
"I dyed it. Do you like it?" Joey asked.
"Well, it is different. But I'm sure it will grow on me." I said.
"Well, how have you been?" Joey asked.
"Really Good actually." I said about to tell him about the latest info on my life.
"Yo, Joey, If you don't mind, I want Ashley all to myself. I'll see you later." Justin said pulling my arm.
"Justin, am I ever going to get to talk to the rest of the guys?" I asked him now puzzled.
"Besides where are you taking me?" I asked him.
"My favorite place.." he said smiling.
"It's not anything that involves a car... or anything.." I hinted.
"No, Ashley. Trust me you'll love it." Justin said. He took me outside, and on top of the entire building and there was this full view of the stars.
"Justin, this is beautiful.." I said in awe.
"I knew you would like it," Justin said smiling happily.
"I love it." I said staring at the millions of silver bright shining stars.

I arrived back home around 11:45... close to 12:00 the next morning. I went upstairs to see Brian sleeping cozily in my bed.
"Brian... sweetie.. I'm home." I said as I got into the bed fully clothed. But he was fast asleep.
