"Good morning," he said.
"Shayla's gonna kill you for picking her roses," McKenzie giggled.
"Actually I took them from Brian's. That was Leighanne's thing so he won't care. Besides they take up the whole side of the house. They won't even be missed," Nick said straddling over top of her and leaning down to kiss her.
"Mmm, I like waking up like this," McKenzie said wrapping her arms around him.
"You fell asleep on me last night," Nick said pouting.
"Well I'm awake now. What did you have in mind?" she asked coyly, knowing exactly what was on his mind.
"How bout a jog on the beach?" he said teasing her.
McKenzie punched him playfully in the chest. He laughed loudly at her. "Well, if you don't want to, I guess I'll go by myself," he said standing up acting like he was going to get out of bed.
McKenzie kneeled up and grabbed him around the neck. "Oh no you don't. I have a better work out for ya than jogging," she said. As he turned around she lifted his shirt off grinning at him.
"Oh I think I'm gonna like this work out," he said giving her that sexy let's have sex smiles.(ya'll know the one I'm talking about)
"Baby I know you're gonna like it," McKenzie said.
"Oh ho yeah," he said pushing her down on the bed and falling on top of her.
After they'd exhauted themselves with their lovemaking they layed cuddled in each others arms. "Now wasn't that better than any jog on the beach?" McKenzie asked.
"I think I could give up working out all together with you around," he teased her, although he was partly serious. Their lovemaking was always incredible. Sometimes Nick couldn't believe she was as young as she was.
"Well pretty soon, when you leave you're gonna have to go without it," McKenzie said feeling a little disappointed about it.
"Maybe not. How would you like to come with me?" he asked.
"Really?" McKenzie asked excited. "But I thought it was gonna be just you guys going?"
"It was, but because we'll be gone a whole month this time we thought we'd bring you and Shayla with us. We'll still be working most of the time, but you girls can hang out and do things," he said. "Brian's supposed to be asking her. We also don't want to leave you here alone with all this going on with Mandy. I don't trust her when she knows I won't be here. And that girl that Howie's been seeing, you know, Hallie, she may come out for a while, but then has to go back to work."
"Well, in that case I'm there and we can wake up like this every morning," McKenzie said tickling him as they tossed under the covers to go at it again.
*Later That Evening*
"Shayla!! Come on girl, get your ass down here and let's go already," AJ yelled up the steps. He and Brian were ready to go to the bar, they were just waiting on Shayla and AJ was anxious to get there.
"Dang, I'm coming bone, keep your pants on," Shayla said as she came downstairs.
"You know better than that Shay. He doesn't wanna keep his pants on. That's the purpose of going out tonight," Nick yelled then laughing like crazy from the rec room where he and McKenzie and some of Nick's friends were shooting pool.
"Actually, I'm coming bone, and keep your pants on, don't go together in the same sentence," Brian teased him.
"And what was that about my ass?" Shayla asked teasing AJ.
"Well you know I think it's a cute little ass, it just isn't moving fast enough. Can we go already?" AJ asked playing with her and giving her a smack on the butt.
"Yes, I think we should before this makes me sick," Brian said pretending to stick his finger down his throat.
"Shayla laughed at Brian and grabbed him for a kiss. "Mwah, let's go baby," she said in a sultry voice. Brian followed like a love sick puppy.
"See you guys," AJ yelled to Nick and McKenzie.
"Later, good luck bone," Nick said.
*At The Club*
Once they got to the club they found a table. Brian wanted to sit towards the back or find a corner so they wouldn't be bothered, but AJ demanded they sit right up front so he could see Kim and so she was sure to see him, although Shayla reminded him he wouldn't be hard to spot with two huge bodyguards with them. They ordered some drinks and sat down. They still had about twenty minutes until the band came on so they sat talking about the trip to London and Sweden.
"Cool, we're gonna have girls on this trip," AJ said excitedly wiggling his eyebrows at Shayla, when Brian told him Shayla and McKenzie were going on the trip and why.
"Correction," Brian said. "Nick and I will have girls on this trip." AJ pretended to pout at that statement, and as Brian continued. "And Howie said Hallie might be coming out for a week or so but she has to work."
"Not fair, I don't have anybody," AJ whined. Then he saw Kim at the bar talking to someone. "That's her, that's her," he said bouncing up and down in his seat and nudging Brian in the ribs.
"Oww man watch it," Brian said. He and Shayla checked the girl out. She was a little taller than AJ, with short reddish hair with maroonish streaks through it. Perfect for AJ, Shayla immediately thought, and she was wearing zebra print pants and black rimmed glasses. She was laughing with whoever she was talking to and had a nice smile and seemed to have a real character of a personality. Actually she and Brian thought she was so much like AJ it was scary. She spotted AJ and waved to him. She said goodbye to whoever she was talking to and made her way over to them. AJ stood up as she got to the table. He gave her a big bear hug as they said hello.
"Hi AJ, you came," she said sounding both surprised and glad.
"I told you I would," AJ said. Brian noticed AJ couldn't stop smiling and went immediately into flirt mode by being real touchy with the girl. "I'd like you to meet two of my best friends. This as you probably know is Brian, and this is his girlfriend, Shayla. Guys, this is Kimmy," AJ said introducing them.
"Hi, nice to meet you," Brian said standing and shaking her hand.
"Hi," Shayla said. "AJ has told us a lot about you." AJ kind of gave Shayla a look for telling on him for talking about her so much. He liked women to think he was in control. He wanted them to talk about him, not know he was talking about them.
"Have a seat and join us for a minute," AJ said pulling up a chair for her.
"Ok, I have a few minutes," Kimmy said sitting down.
"So how long have you been playing?" Brian asked.
"Oh gosh, since I was a child," Kimmy said. "I really kinda was one of those band geeks back in school. I was always off in my own little world and did my own thing. Then finally when my parents realized I was serious about playing and being involved in the music business they sent me to the school for creative and performing arts," she told them.
Brian and Shayla looked at each other and smiled. Perfect for AJ they both thought to themselves. She was as flirty as he was too. They were only able to talk for a few more minutes before it was time for the band to start playing. Kimmy told them she would be back during their break.
"So, what do you guys think?" AJ asked.
"I think she's great," Shayla said enthusiastically. "Perfect for you."
"I agree, she just screams AJ," Brian said agreeing with Shayla.
"I certainly hope she'll be screaming AJ," he said then laughing evily. Shayla laughed but Brian just rolled his eyes.
The band played some pretty good music and Brian and Shayla were impressed with Kimmy's saxaphone playing. AJ dragged Shayla out on the dance floor making her tear up the floor with him as they gyrated and got funky as he spun her all over the floor. Brian of course wouldn't dance because he only danced at their concerts or once in a while if he was getting drunk. But he always got a kick out of watching Shayla and AJ. They were good dancing together, she was a good partner for AJ.
During the breaks Kimmy came and sat next to AJ and talked with them. AJ was of course being his usual flirty self and continuously had his arm draped over her shoulder. Brian and Shayla definitely liked her. Before they left AJ had asked her to come to the party with him and she accepted. He arranged to pick her up at 8:00.
