Not more then five minutes after we got in Joes car I passed out. I had my head resting on Kevins shoulder and him playing with my hair. Ambear turned around and saw a look of happiness on his face. "See Kev I told you it would work out." Joe smiled through the rear view mirror at him. "Ya it did. It looks like AJ took it better then I thought too. Hey Joe just pull up on the curb and I'll carry her up and put her to bed. I don't think she will be staying up any longer then she needs to." Joe did as he asked. Picking me up he carried me up to the apartment and into my room. gently placing me on my bed he took a blanket and covered me up. He made his way to his room and started to change into his sweats. Afterwards he went to check the answering machine. There was the usual messages his mom, a fan or two, and then there was one from Nick for me. "Hey Amber its me Nick I just wanted to say thanks again for what you did tonight. Hey you and me dinner next Friday. What do you say? Give me a call back and let me know." He saved all the messages but the one from the fans and the one from Nick. He made one last stop at my room to see if I was still asleep. He knew we would need to talk in the morning and make up new rules now that we were boyfriend and girlfriend. Slipping between the sheets he drifted off into a restful sleep.

Across town AJ was getting anything but sleep. TQ didn't know what was up with him. Ever since the club he was acting weird. She new him and Kevin weren't talking but she didn't know why or what brought it on. She didn't even know that he and I had been dating. TQ had just been with BSB Inc. for about 2 weeks when me and AJ had broken up. "Bone tell me whats wrong. Please? Maybe I can help." He looked at her like he forgot who she was or why she was there. "No baby I'm fine. Come here I need some love." AJ made his way over to the bed and sat down next to her. Taking her face in his hands he placed his lips on hers and slowly and very sensually kissed her. he worked his way over to her ear and sucked on her earlobe. TQ was in heaven to say the lest. She didn't know what it was about this man but his whole being just oozed sex. They took there time and slowly undressed each other. Once there cloths were off AJ laid her back on the bed and made love to her. Making sure she was totally satisfied before he allowed him self to have his release. After she was asleep AJ slipped out of bed and went down stairs. he made his way into his office he had there, pulled out a photo album, and got him self a glass of Jack. Taking a seat he went through the photos and cried. "How could I be so dumb!"
