Once Upon a Mid-Starry Night


written by MyStYkSuGa@aol.com

Introduction

Sometimez I wonder why life could be so hectic at timez. School....work..parentz...thingz that occupiez most of my time and energy. Loneliness becomez a usual knock at tha door alot of timez. I just wish I could get away from it all for awhile and grow old with someone I love dearly......

My name is CaSarra Lilaine Mottzii...and I've been born into this world on Febuary 14 of 1980. That makez me 19 yrz. old. I'm an adopted child..even tho I waz told I had an Italian father and an Asian mother. That'z about all I know. They died when I waz only 4. I didn't get to know them very well since both were incredibly busy people. Sad..my relationship with my parentz were never really close...I really wish it waz tho. I waz adopted by a couple at about tha age of 6. I waz bounced from foster home to tha next during tha two yearz at tha agency. Some were nice people..but some weren't. I never understood why my life waz so unfortunate. No real family..no parentz...and a hectic life. But don't get me wrong..my foster parentz r absolutley tha best. They treated me exactly as their own. I guess they loved me even more cause they couldn't have any children. My mom had a disease that made it impossible for her to concieve when she waz a teenager. Even with a great small family..something waz missing for me....or maybe someone.....

Chapter 1

I walked alongside tha shore..collecting more sand with evry step. Tha soothing water washed some away but as I walked further...tha more my barefeet weren't visible..too much sand. I came here to escape my reality...my life..my evrything. Tha beach waz like a second home to me...peaceful and inviting. I confided all my pain and anguish to tha rockz...let my problemz fly away with the seagullz and let tha sand balance me in my uneven life. Tha nitez here in Italy were cold. Chilly windz ruled tha territory out here. But I pursued on walking. At timez I waz alwayz the only one out on tha beach at this time of nite...so I roamed freely with no hesitation. Tha sun waz setting and I waz privileged enuff to be one of tha onez to view it. I swung my sandalz around my fingerz and continued walking...humming Jay Z'z " Jigga". I am and alwayz waz a Rap and R&B kinda gal. As i walked further I realized that I waz reachin closer and closer to tha condo comlexez that my parentz owned. I waz allowed to come visit their Italian Villa n e time I wanted. Like I said before..they r very loving parentz. I decided to walk further into tha sand and stop walking the shoreline for awhile....but before I walked n e further..I heard sniffling. As if someone waz crying. I knew what that felt like...maybe knew it too well. When I approached the sobbing figure...he lifted his head up in alarm. " Hey..it'z ok...I'm not dangerous or n e thing..haha" I chuckled. Tha person looked me over carefully..if not believing what I just told him of my not being dangerous. I looked him over as well...he waz striking in evryway. Wild outgrown hair trouseled about on top of his head. A leopard hat layed unworn beside him and his attire waz stand-outtish..yet had a classy look on their own. His face featurez couldn't be seen too clearly but I knew all in all..he waz a very good looking man. He quickly wipped away his tearz and stared at me...I didn't know why. But I just assumed he wanted to grief or cry in peace. I shifted my way a little to tha side to walk pass him but turned around. By this time..this strange man waz starin out into the ocean. " You know..I don't know u...who u r..or where u come from..but I guess we have thingz in common. Tha beach seemz to be or shoulder that we can cry on.." I smiled. He turned slowly to look at me..this time with more soft eyez..a more gentle approach. I smiled at him one last time and made my way back home.

Tha further I walked..tha more chilly it got. Luckily..I got home before I froze to death. I walked down the hall of the condos and heard loud screaming. Not in fright or fear..but just in victory and defeat. I stopped slowly and listened for a bit. " I beat u!!..I beat u!!" a voice chanted. " Yeah..Yeah..whateva Frack..I let u win.." another voice interrupted. Something waz southern about tha second voice. I shook off tha eerie feeling and turned to unlock my door. Unfortunately I lived in a condo across from where tha voicez were stayin. I walked further into our home and turned on tha lightz. It waz quiet....tha only sound to be heard waz tha crashing of tha wavez outside below the balcony. I set my keyz down and headed towardz there. Leaning against tha rail..I drew in a deep breath and just stared above me. " Starry.." I grinned to myself. When I waz younger..my parentz used to alwayz tell me that people who past away and wanted to see their family or friendz at all timez become starz. That way..evrytime their familiez look up..they know exactly where they are. I wondered to myself if that waz true and continued staring for a lil while longer. I finally came back to my sensez and went back in, closing tha balcony door behind me. After showering and changing into more comfy clothez..I layed in my bed. Thoughtz of my parentz came to mind. This waz like a ritual for me evrynite. I can't sleep a wink without thinking about my parentz first. Getting bored of just lying there..I glanced over at tha clock and noticed it waz only 9:30 PM. I hauled myself out of bed and stumbled back outside into tha main room. " Damn..I can't sleep...again.." I mumbled to myself as I plopped down on tha couch. An idea suddenly popped into my head and I headed off to get dressed. Coming out with tight flared leisure pantz and a elbow sleeved knit shirt..I grabbed my car keyz and headed out. As I turned my back to lock my door.." Hi!.." a cheerful voice greeted me. I turned around. " Hey..wazzup?" I asked in return with a smile. Tha guy waz about my age..but definetley taller than my 5'9 frame. He had his blonde hair tucked away in a backwardz cap and he bared his adorable face and blue eyez to be admired. " Nuthin much..Brian just kicked me out of tha room cause I kicked his ass in MarioKart." he grinned. " I'm Nick by tha way.." he added with a hand stuck out for me to shake. " CaSarra..nice to meetcha Nick." I smiled back. " R u uyz just visiting or sumpthin cause u don't look like ur from around here." I asked. " Yup..we're vacationing from tou..I mean..just vacationing.." he said with a cheesy grin. I chuckled and nodded. " Well..I gotta get goin now..I guess I'll see ya around Nick.." I said and waved to him before I went out tha main entrance door.

I spotted my car rite next to a nice Prowler..obviously an American car. I jumped into my Italian car..a Ferarri and sped off to my destination..La Cafe' near tha end of tha beach. I though it waz too cold to walk there so I drove instead. I parked in an empty spot and got out. Tha cafe' waz nearly empty since it waz so late. Sitting near tha garden of tha cafe'..I observed my surroundingz. Not much waz there except a few empty tablez and light polez. I gave tha waiter my order of a cappucino and sat around tapping my manicured really dark red on tha glass table. As I continued waiting..I heard someone sipping a drink or whateva refreshment they were consuming. I turned around behind me and looked around. To tha very far back and right I saw..him. Tha man who waz crying on tha beach. I didn't wanna stare so I turned back around and my drink waz set down infront of me. I held my drink up to tha tipz of my lipz and sipped slowly..being careful not to spill n e thing and make an ass out of myself.

When my cup waz finally empty..my watch read 10:15 PM. I got up and laid my money on tha table along with a tip. I wanted to look back and see if he waz still there..but finally decided against it. I saw no use in doing so. I got back into my car and hoped that when I got back home..sleep would finally come.

~~ A.J~~

I watched her evry move. She waz a fascinating creature that has caught my evry attention. She talked to me on tha beach..but I couldn't do n e thing but stare. We ran into each other again and still I had no gutz to go and talk to her. When she turned around..I finally caught a lighted glimpse of tha masterpiece known as her face. She had featurez of...I think two culturez. High arched eybrowz that defined her face and eyez really well. Full and pouty lipz glimmered in tha light. Tha twinkling of her grey eyez whenever she blinked or moved waz hypnotizing. Her layered hair framed her face prefectly...truly a work of art. I sat and looked at her evry once and while..but too..emotional to actually feel lust towardz her. As much as I lust for women..this would be very strange and different from my nature. I guess my break-up with Christina waz also a reason. 2yrz....can u imagine it?...2 yrz. She finally confessed that she wanted me for tha fame and fortune. Not for who I am and tha love I offered to her....mind..body...soul..and all of my heart. Women. I can't figure them out sometimez. After all my thinking..I heard a screeching of a chair against tha concrete floor and looked up. She waz leaving..I contemplated time and time again..whether or not if I should go and talk to her. Instead..I watched her beautiful body inch farther and farther away from me. When she waz finally out of sight in her car..I got up and paid for my 3 coffeez.

As I got back to tha condoz..Nick and Brian were still at it with each other in MarioKart and Kevin and Howie went clubbing. " Where ya been Bone?..We were gettin worried man.." Brian said as I walked in tha door. I simply grinned.." Out...thinkin." I stated. " It'z been 2 monthz Bone..let it go..she told u what she waz really after..u deserve better.." Brian reasoned. " Yea..I know Rok..G'nite." I said as I headed off into my room. As I closed tha door I overheard Brian saying.." He hasn't been tha same lately..I'm really worried man..he has never been like this over a gurl.". I guess he'z rite...my relationshipz with tha gurlz in tha past never lasted into tha next month..but with Christina it waz different..I thought she actually loved me. I sighed deeply..hoping it would make me feel better..but like usually..it never doez. I changed and sat down on tha edge of my bed.....I thought vacationing waz actually going to help me. But tha memoriez flooded back into my mind and i leaned back into tha bed and forced my eyez clothez. Sleep never comez unless I force it too......

I heard bustling in my room and fluttered my eyez open. I sat up and searched for where tha noise waz coming from. I looked around and saw Brian in my closet searching thru my bag. " What in tha world r u doin in ma bag Rok?" I asked rubbing tha sleep out of my eyez. " Lookin for my shirt I let u borrow..." he replied under the muffling noise. " U mean tha Gucci grey one?" I asked while watching him continue searching for his beloved shirt. He turned around quickly with a hint of hope in his eyez..." Yea..that one..where is it Bone?". " Weeelllll..ya seee..I kinda forgot it.." I said trying to avoid his eyez. "Where did ya forget it?" he asked standing completley straight now. " Rome" I said and tried to smile at him. But all I got in return were yellz and hollerz bout tha shirt and my irresponsibility. He finally stopped fuming and breathed in and out slowly. " Ok..nevermind about tha shirt..I guess I can get anotha one today or sumpthin.." he trailed off and walked out of my door. I rolled my eyez at his quick change of attitude and got up to get dressed. As I waz about to open my door to get out..Nick poked his head in with a grin. " Move Nickay.." I joked. " Don't call me that!!" he whined. I laughed at him and pushed my way out tha door. As i walked into tha living room.....tha scene waz hilarious. Kevin had bagz under his eyez and waz slouched down on tha couch staring at tha muted T.V. Howiez on the other hand waz next to him waz just as tacky but looked like he waz trying to get over his hangover from tha nite before.

Chapter 2

~~ CaSarra~~

I waz walking around tha kitchen when all of a sudden I hear yelling. I rolled my eyez out of realization that it waz probably tha noisy nieghborz who stayed across tha hall. I had my flared tight black slackz on and a dark blue dress shirt. I don't exactly know why I waz soo dressed up but...I felt like it. " Hmm...tha beach lookz great..." I sighed while holding back tha curtainz of tha balcony door. I finally gave into my temptation and made my way out tha door to tha beach. In tha hallway..there waz silence. No Nick or any yelling. I shrugged and locked my door.

Tha breeze waz gentle with a mild temperature. I took off my platform taboo sandlez and giggled at tha feeling of tha sand between my toez. I only walked along tha wet shoreline with my pantlegz rolled up. There waz absolutley no one insight. That waz ok with me..that way I could cry in peace if I ever felt tha urge. Seashellz lined with the seaweed and tha hermit crabz scurried to safety as I got closer into their sight. I sat myself down on a mound of sand. Humming once more..but this time it waz Mariah Carey'z " Breakdown". Tha wavwz seemed to be responding to me in someway.....with evry crash came a cool breeze that plushed against my bare face. A slamming of a car door stole my attention away from tha ocean and I turned to see who it waz. A big grey Expedition waz parked in tha empty parking lot......tha driver waz walking over to tha beach. I took a closer look at him and realized it waz him again. Tha baggy black slackz were held up with a belt and his wifebeater clung to evry muscle insight. Tha white button shirt flapped wildly as he walked. He waz absolutley gorgeous.....I never knew it possible for a man to be beautiful until now. I watched him take evry step until he reached tha shoreline farthest to my left. He stood there with his hand in his pocketz. He looked as if he waz thinking of something....and I watched in amazement. I guess I waz staring a him for quite sometime because I didn't notice that he waz looking rite at me. When I did come to attention that he knew that I waz staring at him....I casually turned my head towardz the ocean. Wanting to save myself some major embarrassment..I slowly got up and brushed myself off. Slipping back on my sandalz..I walked back towardz tha condoz......

~~ A.J ~~

Well..here I am again...here to grief and sob over my pain some more. I looked deep onto tha ocean and thought about her....tha mysteriouz gurl who tried to console me in some wayz. When I looked to my far right...I stared straight into her. I guess she has been watching me for a while now since she didn't know I waz looking back at her. But a moment or two later she slowly turned away. " I must have scared her.." I said aloud. Suddenly she got up to leave. I watched her walk alil further but something in me made me run after her. She wasn't goin to get away this time. " Wait!" I called out. She turned around abruptly and looked at me with suprised eyez. I tried to smile but that only made her notice that I waz kinda nervous. " Hi....." she replied quietly. I swear..she must of had tha voice of an angel. I relaxed more.." Hey..I'm A.J...and u are?" I asked in a daze. " CaSarra..nice to meet u A.J" she replied while shaking my hand. " Same here....sooo..ur from around here?" I asked once more while looking her over. I couldn't help myself..she waz beautiful and curvacious in evryway. She didn't seem to notice me looking her over. " Well..not really..I'm just here on vacation..ma parentz own one of those condoz over there." she responded while looking over at tha condo building. I felt shriek of happiness go thru me...she actually lived nearby.

Chapter 3

A.J and I chatted about many thingz. He waz completely adorable. I waz laughing evry second at him. His sense of humor is probably his best trait as for as his personality goez.Hopefully I'll get to know him better and discover more admirable traitz he posesses. " So....ur from the U.S right?" he asked as I kicked sand into the water. I nodded. " I'm just here to get away from it all..." I smiled weakly. " Get away from what?" he asked again while looking at me curiously. I sighed deeply...how waz I going to explain to him my pain and troublez..how can I put them into wordz? I slowly turned to meet his longing gaze...." Evrything" I whispered truthfully. He gave me a puzzled look..a look I knew would come after I answered his question. I watched him struggle to understand..the many troubled expressionz he threw..." Hahaha...don't try to understand it or comprehend what I just told you...." I laughed. " There are just somethingz that can't be explained.." I reasoned. He smiled at me....atleast he understood me then. I blushed at his flirtatious smile and turned away from him. He chuckled at tha redness of my cheekz. " Ur so cute when u do that.." he commented again. I laughed at his straight-fowardness and once again...redness and pink flourished over my usual light-olive/tan/yellow complexion.

I watched and waited for something to happen......anything to happen. Tha silence waz eerie and unbearable. I finally raised my arm to notice that my watch showed 12:15. I breathed the warm scent of the ocean one last time and I turned to head home. I felt a strong hand take hold of mine. I waz startled and turned to see...." Where r u going?" he asked while looking into my eyez. I've noticed that since we met..his eyez were alwayz searching mine. " Home.." I smiled. He nodded....and slowly he let his head drop along with his hand. I looked at him with curiousness...waz it something I said? I slowly took his hand in mine..which cause a great suprise in his solemn figure. He allowed me to take it further into my palm...." What'z wrong?" I asked quietly as if I waz asking a sad child. All he did waz entangle his fingerz with mine and once again stare into my eyez. I too got lost in his warm brown onez. The curly lashes that flapped over them when ever he blinked were beautiful. Slowly a tear trickled down from his eyez and left a trail along his cheek to his chin. And finally it fell. I felt a sudden drop of warm liquid on my hand and looked down. His tear layed still on my hand....streaming all sortz of colorz when it waz hit my the reflection of the shining sun. Now i waz really confused- did I cause that tear to fall?..." Ok...tell me what'z wrong...did I do or say something?" I asked quickly. He nodded.." No...it'z not u...I just have a past that hauntz.." he answered quietly while looking away from my eyez as if he now wanted to avoid my gaze.

I stood there and waited....his hand in mine....to see if he'll ever look me in the eyez again. I waited..and waited...he kept his gaze on the never ending ocean. Fustrated and worried..I slowly raised my hand to guide his handsome face to look in mine. As my hand touched his cheek..I felt facial hair..and warm skin. Skin that once again was wet with tears. He waz crying again. I left my hand there..and soon his joined mine. His larger hand practically covered mine. Still not letting my hand fall from his face..he turned to me with pained and questioning eyez. I raised both of my armz to wipe his tearz away. He stood there..and let me do whatever I pleased. After drying all tha tears that were visible...I brought my handz down again. I tried to smile at him...showing that whatever pain he flet and for whatever reason..I sympthathized for him greatly. He still had no expression on his face...and that made my heart drop in a beat. Why did I care so much for this person?...He waz handsome..funny...sweet...and caring. A guy every gurl hopez for when they speak of their fantasy boyfriend. Waz I in love?.....No..No..it couldn't be...he barely knowz me..and I don't know much about him. But that feeling that washez over me when he smilez...tha way my heart flutterz when we touched....tha way my breathing getz heavier when he lookz into my eyez..and when I'm lost in his....had to be something.

Once again I find ourselvez in a staring contest. " I don't know what'z bothering you....or what ur feeling...but I hope u do get better and smile once more.." I trailed on as I slowly slipped my handz out of his grasp. He looked down at our handz that soon parted...and looked back up at me. I searched hiz eyez once more and turned to walk away. I slowly let my usual stride of walking take place....and with every stride I took..the more hurt I felt.....he didn't call for me to come back. I sighed heavily as I approached tha doorz to tha door to the condo building. I thought I actually cleared my mind....but...tha more I thought about why he waz crying..and why he felt so sad when I turn to walk away alwayz bothering me and clouded my mind. I had to leave....I needed to get back to my old life. I need to leave my fustrationz with this man behind. I made up my mind...I had to leave Milan. Today.

I slowly sled my key into tha lock and stepped inside. looking around tha place for tha last time..I rushed into my bedroom to pack. After all that waz done...I turned down all tha lightz and headed out the door. As I locked it.." Well..hey now..." a familiar voice said. I turned around...and smiled. " Hey Nick..how ya been?" I asked. He grinned..." Aight I guess..." He looked down and saw my luggage.." Leaving already?" he asked while looking back up at me. " Uh huh...I think I'm starting to miss my old life.." I smiled. He nodded. " Well..I should get going...but hey..I'll tell ya what..if u ever go back to tha U.S....call me sometime..or whenever ya want would be cool" I suggested as I handed him my cell phone card. He nodded and took tha lil piece of paper and looked it over. " Will do...we'll become palz...hahaha" he laughed. I laughed along with him.." That would be tight..aight.,.I gotta go k?" I commented and he pulled me in for a hug. As we released..he waved to me and out tha door I went. I opened my car trunk and threw my luggage in. Starting up the engine ..i pulled my cell and called my dad. " Hello...Mr. Mottzi's office..how can I asisst u?" tha lady asked. It waz obvious that she waz my dad'z secretary. " Hi..can I speak to my father please?" I asked nicely. " Of course Ms. Mottzi..please hold on a momment" she asked and I heard a click...soon elevator music waz all that waz heard from tha other line." Hi sweetheart!!" my dad exclaimed on the other line. " Hey pappi...how ya been?" I asked while smiling. " Fine sweetheart..." he answered. " Daddy..I'm going home today..is there n e way u could send a jet to take me back home?" I asked. " Sure honey...there'z already one at tha airport hangover..but why r u coming home so soon..u've only been there for about 4 dayz.." my dad replied. " Ohhh..well..I missed u and mom...I just wanted to get back..and see all my friendz again.." I lied. I hated lying to my parentez..but sometimez it waz necessary. " Sure love....I'll notify tha airport..and u'll be home in no time.." my dad replied. " Ok daddy...love ya!" I exclaimed and clicked tha flap to my cell.

When I pulled into the airport...my dad'z workerz took my car and sent it to tha Overseaz Shipping Department. I boarded tha private jet and sat back comfortably. " Are you ok Ms. Mottzi?" tha bodygaurd asked as he sat in tha seat across from me. " I'm fine Aundre...let'z just get this baby in tha air..I'm longing for home.." I smiled. He smiled in return and soon we lifted off............

I woke up at the sound of my bodygaurd bustling about...I guess he waz trying to grab all my damn bagz. I stretched my armz out and sat up to watch him continuously walk around frantically with an amused look on my face. When he finally noticed me watching him..he slowed his pace down a notch. " We here already?" I asked while he sat back down. " Yup...I think we're landing in New york in about 10 minutez..." he reminded me. I nodded and peered ot my plane window...I wonder what he'z doing rite now......

~~ A.J~~

After she waz completely out of site..I sat around in tha sand to think a little more. I dunno why she cared so much....we barely knew each other. But it did make me really happy to be able to talk to her.....

I finally got up off my ass and walked back towardz mycar.....no use in stayin if she waz gone. I walked along the hallz of the seperate roomz and couldn't help but wonder which one of them she stayed in. " Hey Bone...where ya been?" Nick asked as I got closer to our room. " Out..ya know..tha usual...what'z that in ur hand?" I asked back when I noticed a type of card in his handz. Nick fanned tha card against his face andsmiled...I automatically knew...it waz a gurlz number. " Is she pretty?" I asked interested. " She'z beautiful...." he grinned dreamily. I laughed lightly and passed him to get into tha room. We'd be leaving this place for New York tommorow so my clothez were already in my bag next to my bed. I walked back into the living room to see Kevin watching an Italian Soap Opera that I knew he couldn't understand. Plopping down roughly next to him...I sighed intensely...I couldn't get her out of my mind. Kevin looked over at me curiously...." U think u can sit down n e harder?" he joked. I looked over at him with no expression at all..." Ok..wazzup Bone?... R u still not over her yet?" he asked me calmly. I nodded..." I guess it'z that...but I had a long day.." I sighed while staring blankly at tha T.V screen. " Uh huh..sure..whatever u say.." Kevin mused while turning his attention back to tha T.V show he waz watching.

Tha rest of tha nite dragged on as usual...I either just sat around..or ate. But tha one person that wouldn't get out of my mind waz her..CaSarra. " Pretty name.." I grinned to myself. It'z weird how her name waz flying thru my mind all freakin day and it'z just hit that it waz a pretty name. I wonder about myself sometimez. I finally got bored of eating my ice cream and made my way to my bedroom to lay down. I starred up to tha ceiling...tha fan waz spinning monotonously and it made me dizzy. I looked straight to tha wall....still imagez of her smile...and luring eyez alwayz came to my attention. " You got it bad Bone..." I laughed at myself while reaching over to turn off tha bedlamp. I had a restless sleep....but when a dream of CaSarra came into view..I suddenly expierienced immense peace.......

~~ CaSarra~~

" CaSarra?..Sarra?..We here.." I heard Aundre'z voice. I shook out of my deep trance over A.J and looked up at him. " I got ur bagz already...we hafta unboard now.." he informed me. I nodded and got up. As I walked out of tha jet and onto tha stepz that headed downward..I heard my mother'z voice.." CaSarra!!! Welcome back baby!!" she exclaimed while pulling me into a warm embrace. I gladly hugged her back and she pulled away to look at me face to face. I smiled widely.." Hi mommy..miss me?" I joked. She laughed lightly.." More than u can imagine." she answered with a grin. " Well come on sweetie...a car'z waiting for us outside..." she commented. We made our way out into tha open parking lot and approached a stretched black limo. Aundre opened tha doorz for tha both of us and I thanked him with a smile. He winked back and shut tha door.

" Sooo..how waz Italy?...Waz it peaceful enuff for u hunny?" my mom asked while we rode an office building in tha city. " Yup...I got a chance to clear my mind...thanx for lettin me stay there mommy.." I gushed. My mom smiled..." Anytime sweetheart...just remeber that evrything that is our'z..is ur'z also..." she explained. I simply nodded and watched busy people carrying suitcasez walk along tha crowded srteetz. I felt tha car come to a slow stop and tha door opened. Tha light that poured into tha car waz almost blinding..but I continued my way out tha door anywayz. I stood there..and looked up. " Dang mom..this place is huge...is daddy in there?" I asked while looking back at my mom who waz chatting on her cell. My mom looked up at me and put her hand over the reciever..." Yes dear...why dontcha go on up....Aundre?..Take her will ya?" my mom suggested. Aundre respectfully nodded and motioned me to follow him. We came to a blonde middle aged lady working tha front desk...she looked up from her paper work and greeted us with a warm smile. I smiled back.." How may I help you?" she asked while removing her glassez to reveal her blue eyez. " Yes..we're here to see Mr. Mottzi..he should be in a conference right now.." Aundre stated. Tha lady nodded and told us to go on into tha elevator and stop at the 12th floor.

We finally reached tha 12th floor and were meeted by a nicely furnished office room. We walked further down the hallway and I happened to catch a glimpse of some record plaquez hanging nicely on tha pale colored wallz. We soon reached a pair of Oak Wood double doorz and that had a golden sign that read : The Firm INC. I wonder what this waz all about. Aundre opened the door for me and soon a long table of business men and women chatted amonst themselvez. At the very far end waz seated my father. When they heard the door open..all their attention waz directly on me. I stood there awkwardly a moment and soon cracked a forced smile. " Hunny!!..welcome back..come here and give ur old Popz a hug huh?" my dad belowed and I cheerfully obliged. I jogged my way down tha endless room and soon waz caught in a bear hug in my father'z armz. He stood up ...." Ladiez and Gentlemen..may I introduce my lovley daughter..CaSarr.." he annonced. I waz greeted with a ring of helloz and Hi'z. I simply smiled and waved a weak wave. I waz so nervous.

I sat in an empty chair while they talked and prety much zoned out. I did over hear partz and bitz of their conversationz but I didn't quite clearly understand what they were discussing. This building actually waz called The Firm like I read outside tha door. My dad waz voted to become president of this company. The Firm waz a managing company in tha music business. So that meant they managed singing groupz and singerz. After all that waz said and done..my dad waz officially announced the president of that particular company. I suddenly felt a warm hand on my shoulder and i looked up to find my dad'z warm smile peering down at me. " We better get going baby.." he suggested and we made our way down to tha waiting car.

We soon reached a nice complex. My daddy and I stepped out of tha long car and made our way up tha building. As we got inside..we were greeted by my mom. " I got tha job hunny..I now hafta run The firm.." my dad smiled to my mom. My mom clapped and cheered. I didn't quite know why they were so excited because my parentz were already busy and wealthy people..but i shrugged it off and went into my room at where my bagz were waiting for me at tha foot of my bed. I sighed and plopped down on my bed..thoughtz of A.J soon flooded my mind..again for like tha one millionth time that day.

I must off dosed off for awhile when all of a sudden I heard my cell ringing:

" Hello?" I answered a lil groggily.

" Hey gurl!!..Guess who?" tha male voice exclaimed.

" Hahaha...hey Nick..wazzup?" I replied while laughing.

" Nuthin..just chillin in a hotel..." he responded calmly.

" Oh really?..where?.." I asked curiously...How did he leave Italy so soon.

" NYC big BAby!!!" he screamed. That caused me to laugh harder.

" Really?..Dang..We should go clubbin sometimez.." I suggested while lying on my stomach.

" For realz?..How?" he asked hurriedly.

" Cause i'm new York too!!" I laughed.

" Nuh uh...u playin.." he smiled.

" Nope...my dad'z on business and I'm stayin here for awhile...but I don't know how long tho" I stated.

" That'z cool..well I gottz go k?..I'll call ya laterz.." he said.

" Sure Nick..peace.." I said and hung up with a smile. If that'z not a freakin coincidence...I don't know what is.

~~ Tha Boyz~~

Nick hung up his cell and finished getting dressed to go clubbing. He and tha rest of tha guyz just arrived about 3 hourz ago in New York..and evryone agreed to go clubbin. Their management informed them that they elected a new President for The Firm..and they felt that All their clientz should meet him. " Hey Nicky!!..Who were ya talkin to?" Brian asked while walking into tha room all dulled up. Nick grinned.." A pal.." he answered. Brian rolled his eyez and left. Nick finished dressing and scurried down tha hall to tha lobby. Once he spotted the guyz.." Hey..where r we going again?" he asked. " Ummm.. I think it'z called Galaxia.." Kevin grinned while brushing off his sports coat. A.J stood there..not really paying attention to what waz going on....he felt bad that he didn't atleast say his last goodbye to CaSarra..maybe then he would of asked for her number to keep in touch. But their flight left really early and their time got crucial and lessened. " Maybe this club will get her off of my mind for awhile....." A.J thought to himself as he and the guyz climbed into the limo........
