I went straight to Xander's room and AJ followed me. He closed the door behind him and stood there.
"Yes?" I asked.
"What was that all about?" he demanded.
"What was what all about?"
"That guy on the radio, you two were practically drooling over each other."
"AJ darling, is that jealousy I hear?" I laughed.
"It's not funny," he said.
"Babe, you are overreacting. What about that one girl you sang to at the last concert?"
"That was part of the show and you know it."
"And that was part of publicity and YOU know it," I returned.
"So you flirt with men to sell your records?" AJ asked.
"AJ, watch it. The other girls are flirted with just like I am," I said.
"I seriously doubt that, out of all the other girls you are the one that dresses the most provocative," AJ accused.
"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked loudly waking up the baby. I picked Xander up in my arms and sat down in a chair to feed him. AJ knelt down next to me as I rocked Xander in my arms.
"Look I'm sorry Kelly. You're right I am jealous, I just don't want anyone to take you from me," he explained to me.
"AJ, I've told you before I'm marrying you not them," I said caressing his cheek.
"I know, I know," he said kissing my hand.
That was the end of that argument. We had all sat around my house kicking it until it was time to go to the Jay Leno set. We, 2 Much, had decided to go for the baggy look. We were all dressed in Fubu sweat suits. I was in a blue one, Jessica was in a orange one, Shannah was in a kiwi green one, Hazel was in a red one, and Dominique was in a silver one. When Jay Leno announced that we were in the house everyone went wild. They immediately began to chant 2 Much and BsB. I stood backstage twiddling my thumbs. AJ took my hand in his and kissed it.
"Don't worry you'll be fine," he said. I pulled away from AJ and looked around. We all were always constantly being warned not to let on that we were seeing each other.
"AJ, you know you're not supposed to touch me in public," I whispered.
"You know what Kelly I love you and I don't give a damn if everyone knows it. You are the mother of my son and my fianc�e. I'm tempted to announce it to the world," AJ whispered furiously.
"Don't do that AJ," I said. But our convo was cut short because Jay Leno was about to introduce us. We went out onstage and waited for our names to be called.
"And now we have a performance from the hot new teen sensation joined by the teen heartthrobs Backstreet Boys. I bring you 2 Much."
The music came on and we did the first few steps and sang the first few lyrics of Diggin' On You. The crowd went crazy when each of us stepped out of line and sang our parts. And when there was a break in the music for us to just dance the crowd practically broke the studio down with their screams.
Especially on the part when we all came behind the BsBs and touched their chests and when we slid under their legs. Fans were throwing all types of things onto the area where we danced. When the song was over we walked over to Jay Leno and sat down.
"Looks like the crowd loved that performance, but I have to know one thing. Are any of you dating the other?" Jay Leno asked.
"No," we all laughed.
"Are you sure because it seemed to me there was a lot of chemistry going on between all of you."
"Don't get us wrong we're all good friends, but that's all," Shannah said fanning herself.
"I saw the video for this song and I must admit it was very good. The dancing was incredible," Jay Leno said.
"That was the work of our choreographer Fatima," Kevin said.
We discussed the video for a little bit longer and then Jay began to single 2 Much out for questions.
"So tell me all your ages and your names," he said.
"I'm Willow and I'm 18," I said.
"I'm Jessi and I'm 22."
"I'm Domi and I'm 24."
"I'm Hazel and I'm 18."
"I'm Shannah and I'm 19."
"So were you guys always friends?"
"We met at a concert and we just kept in touch ever since," Jessica said not elaborating on whose concert it was.
"Well thanks for being on the show and I hope to see you guys again."
We shook hands with him and after signing a few autographs we were leaving the studio. We only had time to pack Xander up and get our luggage before we were on the plane back to Florida. I was outside by the pool when the phone rang.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Kelly, this is Danny I have great news."
"What?" I asked.
"I just finished talking to MTV and they want you girls to be on there for 2 Much TV," he said. I dropped the phone and started screaming real loud. We had finally hit the big time; we were going to New York. I picked up the phone and got the details. We were to be on a plane bound for New York in two days.
I hung up with Danny and told AJ. Of course he was happy for me. I picked up the phone to call Shannah, but the sound of wheels screeching and doors slamming stopped me. I looked up and practically every member of 2 Much was running towards me.
"MTV!" Shannah screamed. They all collided with me at the same time. The pool was right behind us and we fell into the water. We all came up screaming, laughing, and crying.
"I cannot believe it," I screamed.
"Me neither I mean MTV!" Domi screamed as loud as she could.
"Ok, this is entertaining," Kevin said from the edge of the pool. He was holding his camera and I had a feeling he had caught everything on tape. Nick and Brian were coming over to us and when they saw us in the pool they kicked off their shoes and did cannon balls into the water. Kevin put his camera down peeled off his shirt, kicked off his sandals, and dove in. Soon we were all in the water playing and laughing.
"I am so happy right now," I said floating on AJ's back.
We all played in the water for a bit more and then got out. That night was a celebrating night for all of us. Halfway into the night on my sixth cup of Alize I stumbled into the bathroom to splash water on my face.
"Baby, where'd you go?" AJ asked falling into the bathroom.
"Hey you ass watch it, you almost sat on my pink elephant," I laughed.
"I'll sit on your elephant alright," AJ said. He pulled me to him and kissed me. Our breaths both smelt like alcohol, but we were oblivious to it. Right now there was only he and I.
"So what do you wanna do?" I laughed sipping out of my cup. He dropped his pants and his boxers and he stood there. I got the drift and dropped my pants, kicked them away from me, and threw my cup in the sink. AJ lifted me against the wall and we went at it. The door started banging at the same pace that we were going. I tried not to be loud, but we were both drunk and didn't care. About fifteen minutes later we walked out of the bathroom buckling our pants. We walked into the living room and immediately everyone began mimicking us.
"OH AJ, OH AJ!" Nick screamed.
"Yeah baby yeah like that," Shannah mocked.
"All of you shutup," I laughed.
"Damn, you guys were loud," Howie said.
"What can I say, it was good," I smiled plopping down on the couch. AJ lay down next to me and poured me another drink. We spent the night drinking and joking. Two days later we boarded the plane for New York. I sat down on the plane and immediately stood back up. I didn't want to leave my son alone, I mean he was only a few months old.
"Maybe I should stay with Xander, a baby needs its mother."
"Kelly, babe we talked about this he will be fine with your mother," AJ groaned.
"How can you be so blas� about this? He's your son too."
"Kelly, I love you with all my heart and that's why I say this. Shut the hell up and sit down."
I sat down and remained silent for most of the flight to New York. When we stepped off the plane however the first thing I did was call my mother.
"How is he?" I asked.
"HE is fine Kelly, I just fed him a bottle and put him down," my mother said.
AJ walked past me to baggage pickup and said, "Told you." I talked to my mom for a little bit longer and then got off. We were set to go to the MTV studio tomorrow afternoon around 3 p.m. Everyone dropped their bags off in their rooms and?.wait did I mention the sleeping arrangements? (Let me get started LOL.) Okay we all entered the hotel from the rear (I guess celebrities always do) and Sonja handed us our keys. I took mine and looked over at AJ's expecting to see the same number, but I saw a whole different digit marked on the card.
"Hold up Sonja, I'm not in the same room as AJ," I said.
"Yeah and I'm not with Brian" Jessica said.
"You girls have to remember that we can't let the public know you all are couple's much less that one of you is engaged to the other. The girls are in connecting rooms as are the boys, but on the bright side I booked you all on the same floor," she explained.
"Ain't that about a bitch?" Shannah commented as Sonja walked away.
"Definitely," Kevin said.
"Alright, who's hungry?" AJ asked.
Everyone said they were so we all decided to go to dinner before we had to go to bed. The boys already knew about some low-key restaurants so we took off minus Danny and Sonja though. When we came back we all went to our separate rooms and boy was there a lot of goodnight smooches in that hallway. Nick and Hazel were right next to us and they were making baby noises at each other.
"I'm going to miss you," AJ said in my ear.
"Babe, it's only for a few nights and we're right down the hall," I smiled.
"You can call me if you want," I added.
"Uh no he can't I got shotgun on the hotel phone to call Hazel," Nick said.
"Anyway I'll hit you up on ya cell phone," AJ said.
"Cool beans," I said. We kissed each other goodnight and separated.
"Night baby," I said.
"Night," he said.
We all went into our rooms and went to bed except of course for Nick and Hazel who quite spent the night on the phone. The next morning we were allowed to sleep in until 9, but boy was it HELL getting dressed.
"Where the fuck is my blue Fubu shirt? I know I packed it," Shannah ranted.
"I have no idea, but I cannot find my black Spice Girl boots," Jessica yelled throwing clothes everywhere.
"Come on Hazel get out of the shower already," Domi said pounding on the bathroom door.
"I'm almost done," Hazel said from the other side of the door.
"Here it is," Shannah said pulling out a sleeveless red Fubu baby tee.
Suddenly Jessica let loose a horror movie scream.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"My boots Kelly, you're wearing my boots."
I looked down and sure enough I was. I had on a yellow baby tee with a short black skirt and her shin length black boots with buckles all over them. "I'm sorry," I said.
"Man Kelly, a typical L.A. girl if I ever saw one," Jessica yelled.
"Don't you get started on L.A.," Shannah said.
"Here," I laughed taking one off.
"No, I don't want 'em," Jessica screamed throwing clothes at me. I picked up some clothes and started throwing them back. Soon the whole room was involved in the fight. I had Jessica's face in a pair of Guess jeans when someone knocked on our door. Hazel jumped up, tripped on clothes and fell into the door, but finally got it open. Expecting to see hotel management or the boys we were all amazed to see a wide eyes N Sync at our doors.
