CHAPTER 13
Hello?" the voice on the other end finally answered. "Hey. Sorry...did I wake you?" AJ asked. "Yeah but I needed to get up anyway. So what's up?" the person asked. "Well, I just wanted to see what you were up to. Will you be busy later this week?" "No actually I have nothing to do," the person sighed. "Why?" "I was wondering if you wanted to come to Orlando for a few months." AJ said slyly. "I'm sure someone wants to see you." He smiled to himself. They talked on the phone a few more minutes that is until Toy woke-up and AJ hung up the phone. "AJ you're still up?" Toy asked stretching her arms and wrapping them around his neck. "Yep," he said kissing her softly. "I wanted to watch you sleep." "Yeah," she said not believe him. "You were probably up to something. Or trying to drink up all the alcohol before anyone else could get to it." "Who me. Never," he said with a devilish grin. "Whatever." She said rolling her eyes. They kissed once more before they snuggled close together and watched one of the movies on the plane. Two hours later the plane landed in Orlando. They all got off the plane and headed home in their own cars, everybody was glad to be going home. AJ and Toy decided to drop Petress off at home. "So PE what are you doing later to day?" Victoria asked. "Nothing I guess. When I get home I'm going to get some more sleep, then after I walk up I'm going to call my baby. I miss him so much," she said looking at her ring they he had gave her three months ago for their 4 year anniversary. He had been out of town every since then. He had to leave that night. "awww. Pe it's OK. You too will be together again soon enough. I'm sure." AJ said trying to cheer her up. "Yeah. I hope so," she said smiling back at him. "The nights can be pretty lonely if you know what I mean," they all laughed. "Well, how about you come over the house and you and Toy can hang out, go shopping or something?" AJ asked. "I don't know?" "Come on Pe. It'll be fun. we'll have an all girls day. No MEN." Toy added in. looking over at AJ who was giving her a sad puppy dog look. she giggled. "NE-ways...what do you say?" "Well, if you make it for this week end then maybe..." "Maybe?" "Alright. but it has to be on Saturday." Petress said. "YAY!! That's only a day away." Toy said. AJ and Pe laughed. Within a few minutes they were at Petress house were they dropped her off and then headed home.
Petress walked in her empty dark house taking a sigh. She hadn't seen her boyfriend in what was almost 3 months. Honestly she was starting to get a little upset about it. IN four years of them dating he had never been away so much. Nor so long. For her it was something she was having to adjust to. She threw her purse and keys on the table and continued to walk upstairs after putting the alarm on the door. She walked upstairs and changed into some big loose close and walked downstairs, turning on the TV and slouching in the chair. She jumped at the sound of the phone ringing. She'd hope it was him.
"Johnny?!" She said answering the phone. The number on the caller Id said "unavailable" so she didn't know what to think.
"Hey baby" He said slightly chuckling. She felt her heart drop at the sound of his voice. Tears started to form in her eye.
"Oh my God baby I miss you so much!" she said overly excited.
" I missed u to baby" She could tell he was smiling on the other end. "Its nice to hear your voice ... how are you"
"I'm OK... Other than missing you I'm great... I've missed you so much"
"I missed you to baby" HE said smiling. "Anything new happening with my baby? Or in general?"
"Not really, just been on tour with the crew... Oh! Toy and AJ are engaged!!"
"Really??"
"Yeah ... long story"
"Well I got a while if you aren't doing anything..." She smiled and continued to tell him about what was going on and the whole situation about AJ and Toy's engagement.
_The next morning_
"Pe wake up!" She heard Toy say as she shook her and woke her up.
"I'm up I'm up I'm up" She said wiping her eyes.
"Time to go SHOPPING"
"this early??"
"Early?? Its almost noon! what were u up doing all night? Come on lets go"
"OK OK I'm up."
"Hurry hurry hurry Pe!" Petresses stumbled into the bathroom leaving the door open.
"Damn Toy you must have had your Wheaties today" Petress chuckled a little.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Toy asked laughing.
"You're... Happy... Not saying you're not happy all the time just now you're like REALLY happy" She said turning on the shower. "You must have got some this morning" Victoria bursted out in laughter.
"What made you come to that conclusion"
"Well think about it ... people are ALWAYS feeling better when they get some in the mornings" She said laughing "And you are DEFIANTLY happy"
"Well if you must know..." Toy said laughing. "Yes, I did get some this morning, BUT that's not the only reason I'm happy"
"EWWW I didn't wanna know that" Petress said laughing.
"You asked for it" She replied. "Hurry up!" She said laughing "I'm gonna go wait downstairs."
"OK ok"
Victoria waited downstairs while Petress got dressed. Petress Put on a pair of flared hip huggers and a bandanna print tube top. let her hair down and put on her sunglasses.
"OK Toy lets go"
"wow ... somebody acts like she's single" Petress laughed.
"shut up lets go" she said smiling. "Where's Alex?"
"Out. He left at around Ten. Who knows what he's doing. You know how Alex is"
"Yeah"
The went to a mall in Miami. About 45 minutes away from where they lived. The walked around the 4 story mall. They had been there for about 3 hours before Victoria pulled Petress in a Victoria's Secret.
"Toy why are you bringing me in here?" Petress whined. "People are gonna get the WRONG impression" She said laughing.
"No, they're not" She said chuckling.
"Johnny's fifty-million miles away... Oh did I tell u he called last night?"
"He did?" Toy asked worried. But didn't let Petress know. "What'd he say"
"Nothin really we talked about us. missed each other, talked about u and AJ some ... ya know the usual"
"That phone sex again huh?"
".. Yeah" Petress said sarcastically.
"Here." Victoria said holding up a silk gray see through necklachae, "Buy it"
"Toy..."
"PE!"
"OK ok ok" Petress Bought the Item and they walked around some more and finally left. They got back into Orlando at around 6 o clock. instead of taking the exit to Petress's house Victoria Took the Exit to her house.
"Toy where we going?"
"Oh I got somethin for u but I left it at the house."
"Oh OK"...
After a few more minutes of driving the girls finally reached Toys house. Toy looked around for AJ's car but didn't see it. "damn they should have been her by now." She said. out loud, hoping that Petress didn't here her.
"What?" pe asked.
"Oh... Umm nothing." She said cutting off the car and they walked up to the door. Has soon as they walked in Panda and Bear came running up to them. "Hey are my babies hungry?" toy asked the dogs as she picked them up. "I'm going to feed them real quick, and I'll be right back. k?"
"yeah just hurry up. I need to get back home and catch-up on my sleep. "Pe said sating down watching TV, when Toy's phone rang. "Do you want me to get that?"
"Yeah... Could you please?" Toy yelled from the kitchen.
"Hello?" Petress answered.
"Hey I'm sorry I'm running late. But we're on our way. Where's Pe?" AJ asked
"What?! I am not your girlfriend...and who's with you?" she asked. Toy heard her and ran into the living room were Petress was, and quickly took the phone from her.
"Hello? AJ it's me." Toy said pinicie. Luck for her Petress hadn't noticed. "where are yall" she begin to whisper.
"Not too far from the house. I should be there in another five minutes."
"OK well hurry up."
"OK. Just do something with her until we get there." AJ said. "I'll see you soon babygirl. Love you. *MUAH*" Toy giggled.
"Okay. Love you too. bye baby." She said hanging up the phone.
"OK can you give me whatever it was that you had for me so I can get home." Pe whined.
"Stop your whining. I'll give it to you when AJ gets here. He said he'll be here in about five minutes. Come on lets go set out by the pool until he gets here.
"OK...but this better be good. I'm losing sleep over this." She said laughing. The girls went to set out by the pool, until Toy heard the front door open. She started to get excited when she saw AJ walking towards, but when he got there the look on her face totally changed.
"Hey ladies." AJ said with a huge smile on his face.
"Hi Alex." They both said. almost as if they were disappointed.
"Well, nice to see yall too." He said jokingly. He walked over and put his arm around Toy kissing her cheek.
"OK not to be rude are any thing...but what are u supposed to give me? I'm tired and I wanna go home." Petress said looking over at the both of them. Toy turns her head and gives AJ a 'I would like the answer to that question too' look. AJ just laughed and whispered in Toy ear.
"It's cool. Just chill. I know what I'm doing k." he kissed her once more. Toy just looked at him saying yeah right in her mind.
"Hey Pe. Can you do me a favor? I left something in the car could you get it for me please?" AJ begged. "I promise when you get back I'll give you gift. K?" Pe. only sighed. She was dead tried, the only thing she really wanted was to go home and go to sleep, but NO! her selfish friends wouldn't let her.
"You know what I hate you guys." She said. "But I guess, that way I can get out of here and go home."
"You don't hate us." AJ responded. "Here's the keys. It's a little blue bag, in the front seat." AJ said throwing her the keys and kissing down Toys neck. Pe just rolled her eyes.
"You know if that's all you too want, was to be alone you could have told me." She said walking towards the door. Hearing AJ yell thank you. when she reached the door she dropped the keys, then bent down to pick the up. When she raised up she dropped them again. Her heart sent a warm feeling shooting throw her and tears started to fall from her eyes, and she found it hard to breath, she was so happy.
