chapter 4
As AJ and the rest of the band got off the plain. He looked back and notice that
Toy was resting on Brian's shoulder. This made him alittle upset because the two
of them had been spending so much time together lately.
"Come on J. You know better then that." Petress said as she put her arm around
AJ's shoulders and walked with him off the plane.
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb with me u know. Neither of them would ever do anything to hurt
you. They both love you dearly, as we all do, besides he's happy with his girl."
She said making him smile. " lets go get our bags and head to the hotel, so we
can get some rest before we have to go shopping. After that Toy will be cool
again I promise."
When they got to the hotel everybody rushed to there rooms to try and get some
sleep. AJ and Toy were the only two not asleep. They were laying in the bed,
both upset and confused. It had been like that for hours. When they first
arrived they were fighting.
"Look Victoria I'm tied of fight all the time about nothing. And nether of us
like to go to bed upset. So I'm asking u to please forgive me for whatever it
was I've done. I'm sorry for doing it. Baby please. I can't stand having you
upset with me."he said giving her his best puppy dog look. Toy finally caved in.
besides she was tried of fighting too.
"OK. I forgive you and I'm sorry too." She said smiling and kiss him on the
cheek as she rested her head on his chest, he lightly kissed the top of her head
and they both fell asleep.
Brian called a few hours later wanting to know if they were going to get
together later on that night to go out. AJ answered the phone trying not to
move to much, not wanting to wake Victoria up. He failed. She stirred a little
and woke up. She looked up at him and smiled as she watched him talk to Brian.
He returned the smile. It felt good to be with one another again without
fighting. AJ hung up the phone and laid back down next to her. She smiled once
again and kissed him.
"So what was that about?" She asked sitting up. "Going' out tonight?" She asked
walking to the body mirror in the corner adjusting her clothes.
"I don't know. Depends on how I feel..." He said walking up behind her wrapping
his arms around her waist looking at her through the mirror. "Are you still
going with me and Pe in a few minutes?" He continued. Just to hear her name
come out his mouth made her uncomfortable
She shrugged it of, realizing that she was gonna have to deal w/ it. Petress
was her best friend and it was normal for him to say her name. After all she
noticed she was starting to act jealous and overprotective and that was
something she always said she wouldn't be.
"Yeah. Let me change clothes." She said getting clothes out of her suitcase
and walking into the bathroom.
"I'm gonna call Pe. And tell her to get ready"
Victoria walked out the bathroom to find AJ on the phone talking to Petress and
laughing.
"Ready?" She asked putting her hair up in a pony tail.
"Yeah babe here I come" He replied. "we'll be there in a minute. Come on out."
He said hanging up the phone. He grabbed the room key and car keys and walked
out the door with his arm around Victoria's shoulder.
Petress met them at his car and got in after she spoke to Victoria.
"You alright Toy?" She asked closing the door. "you better?" She continued.
"Yeah I'm a little better. Thanks for asking"
The rest of the way to the mall Victoria stayed quiet while AJ and Petress
talked and laughed the entire way. She just looked out the window and
occasionally back at Petress; who was watching AJ the whole time they talked.
They got out the car, Victoria first, followed by AJ then Petress. AJ walked
over to Victoria as they walked in and kissed her, she gave him a petite smile.
The first store was Abercrombie and Fitch, were AJ bought up most of the
store. The next stop was The Rave; for Petress. Victoria loved the store but
hadn't picked up a single thing the entire time. They waited in there to let
Petress try on her outfits. After walking around for another two hours Victoria
finally decide to stop in Lady's Foot locker. The walked around for a while
before she found some shoes she wanted. The store was packed so they knew it was
gonna be a while. They waited until Victoria asked for her shoe size and walked
out the store. Victoria turned around a few minutes later not seeing them. She
sat on the bench waiting on them to come back. After thirty minutes of trying on
shoes and finding two she wanted she started to walk out. Just as she did AJ and
Petress walked up to her laughing.
"So did u find anything?" They both asked.
"Let me look" AJ said as she handed him the bag and started walkin to the car.
They didn't really notice anything was wrong considering they were to busy
laughing and getting ready to leave anyway.
They got back to the hotel with barley two hours left before they had to go to
the MTV Video Music awards. They went back to their hotel rooms and got ready in
just enough time to get there. By they time the whole group left Fans were
crowded around the lobby and security had to excort them to the Limo. AJ held on
to Victoria making sure he didn't lose her the entire way to the car. Victoria
felt comfortable with him at that moment. She had the old AJ back. The AJ that
would NEVER cheat on her. They walked into the awards with Carson waiting to get
an interview. One of AJ's body guards Marcus excorted the girls to their seats
in the arena. She sat with Leighanne while they performed and back with AJ when
it was over. When it was time to go the doors were flooded with people trying to
get out trying to meet the stars, and stars trying get out in general. Victoria
walked with Marcus and AJ.... until AJ walked off
