Chapter 42: No One Else Comes Close
Well we got off the plane ride. With Tyke in my hands we got into
the rented cars. Me and Brian chose the jeep. Kev and Kat chose a
Toyota, AJ and Amanda choose the Benz, Claudia and Howie chose
the Corvette, and Nick and Julie chose the Chevy. We arrived at
the hotel under fake names of course and got settled.

The Nsync concert was getting ready to end.
"Britney what are you still doing here? Tatiyana is fine, we don't need you anymore!" Justin said.
"But I need you Justin! I have always found you attractive." she said putting her arms around him.
"Well, Britney I like someone else!" he said taking her arms off of his body.
"But Justin --" she complained.
"But nothing! Britney.. plan your tour but from now on, don't worry about ours. I just don't want you hanging around here!" Justin said firmly.
"OK Justin," she said and walked away.
"Any Luck, JC?" Justin asked him. "No luck man, I have tried Ashley's house, but she still isn't there. All I get is her voice mail," JC said.
"Damn, where is this girl???" Justin said.
~*~
"Oh wow, this room is great!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah," he said.
It turned out that Nick and Julie were right next door. Could things get any better?? It was about 8:00 in New York and the time change was sure getting me sleepy. I got up to find my pajamas and change...when suddenly Brian walked in from Nick's room.
"Brian, you know better than to walk into a room without knocking." I exclaimed.
"Yeah well, I'm sorry!" Brian said laughing. I had already taken my shirt off but I did have my silk shorts on..
"Well what are you staring at?" I asked him.
"I'm staring at a beautiful woman!" Brian said.
"You know, that'll get you more kisses!" I said to him. I gave him a big long one.
We laid on the beach just talking, about my life his, his childhood, we spent about 2 hours talking. Then someone knocked on the door.
"Yo, Brok open up!" the voice called.
"Ugh!" Brian said.
"It's okay, we'll continue this later, I promise" and gave him a kiss on the nose before getting up.
"Hey Kev, what are you doing here?" he asked his cousin Kevin.
"Well, I just wanted to know if you had some extra shades.. I left mine at home!" he asked him.
"Shouldn't you be asking AJ that?" I called out from the refrigerator. Even Brian laughed.
"Hey Kev," I said.
"Hey Ashley! Did you lose your shirt or something?" he asked me.
"Duh, I forgot..thanks, I forgot I didn't have it on!" exited the room to find my silk top.
"Man, Bri what are you doing in here?" he asked laughing softly.
"Nothing Kev, but no, I don't have any shades!" he said.
"Here you go Kevin, I bought some!" I said handing him the sunglasses, with my new silk shirt firmly around my chest.
"Thanks!" he said and left.
"Come on, Brian.. you gotta get your sleep!!!" I said to him, grabbing his hand and pulling it away from the television.
"OK," Brian said yawning.
"You see, I told you, you were sleepy!" I said smiling.
Brian got into the bed, "OK, well I'm gonna go sleep on the extra bed. OK I'll see you in the morning!" I said to him.
"Ashley, where are you going? You've slept with me before! I will not let my girlfriend sleep by herself.." Brian said firmly.
"OK," I said before climbing into bed. We turned off the lights.
"Brian?" I whispered.
"Yeah?" he answered.
"I just wanted to say, if you want to get back with Leighanne, I understand," I said sadly.
"Leighanne? Oh I forgot all about her!" Brian said.
"So there's a chance you still want to be with her?" I asked him, fearing of what the answer might be.
"Ashley, you're it for me! I love you and only you. No one can ever take your place!" he said patting my head.
"But what if--" I started.
"But nothing, I want you Ashley!" he said laughing.
"Okay! I love you Brian!" I said giving him a kiss.
"I love you too sweetie!" Brian said.
"Goodnight" he said.
"Goodnight" I answered. And me and Brian went to sleep in each other's arms.
