"So what's the story on Misty?" Kevin asked nonchalantly.
"Yea, where didya meet her? Where's she from?" Nick asked curiously as they reached the lobby.
"Well..." AJ started off and began to tell Misty's story. Kevin, Brian, and Nick were shocked to hear what their new friend went through in her short life. It brought a tear to all their eyes when AJ finished and it was silent for awhile.
"Why the sad faces?" Misty asked interrupting the melancholy mood. Everyone turned to look at Misty with an innocent smile on her face. She was wearing a light blue tank top and knee-length skirt that accentuated her every curve. She had curled her long dark brown hair into many ringlets that framed her face and she was wearing light makeup. "What, did I over dress? Under dress? What's wrong?"
"Oh... uh, no M, nothing's wrong with you..." AJ said while looking her up and down. Misty looked at each of them. They were all staring at her with their mouths wide open.
"Uh then why are y'all staring at me?"
"It's just that you look..." Howie started.
"Hot!" AJ cut in and put his arm around her waist. The rest nodded their heads and said words of mutual agreement.
"Uhm, thanx..." Misty replied softly while blushing.
"C'mon Mist, let's go dancin'!" AJ lead them out of the hotel and into a taxi.
*Outside Body Rockin'*
"I don't think they'll let me in. Ya know I'm only 17 here," Misty said.
"Don't worry M, we've got it covered," Brian said.
"Yo Bone!" the bodyguard at the entrance said. They did a handshake kinda thing that all guys do. "How's it going man? Haven't seen you guys here lately."
"We've been on tour for the past few months. We just got back and we had to come here," he replied.
"Who's the honey?" Misty blushed again.
"Mark, this is my best friend Misty." Mark took Misty hand and kissed it.
"Nice to meet you. How come I haven't seen you around here before?"
"She uh just moved here... well we're gonna go dancing," AJ said. The guys said goodbye and entered the club. *Can I Get A...* by Jay-Z was blaring through the speakers and the club was crowded. They searched for an empty table and sat down.
"Well, I'm in the mood for some dancing. I'll see you guys later," Howie said and took off towards the dance floor.
"C'mon Misty, let's get our groove on, " AJ said with a cheesy grin and holding out his hand for her.
"Oh... uh, I don't think so," Misty said hesitantly.
"Misty! You promised to dance. Now let's go." He grabbed her hand and pulled her onto the floor. AJ began to dance.
"I don't think this is working out too well," Misty whispered into AJ's ear while Misty trying her best, dancing stiffly.
"M, just relax... let the music take you over," AJ whispered back and let his hands drop to her waist. Misty took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She listened to the beat and just let the music take over her body like AJ said. Soon she was dancing with ease.
"That's it hun. See you can dance," AJ told her. Misty just smiled. They danced a couple more fast songs until AJ was too pooped to dance. In the middle of one of the songs, he took her by the hand and led her to the table.
"Hey! I was having fun!" Misty complained as they reached the table.
"I see we've finally found someone that can out dance the great AJ McLean!" Kevin teased.
"Shut up!" AJ retorted trying to catch his breath and sat down in the booth.
"Testy testy," Brian added.
"Awww, poor Alex has a hurt ego," Misty said as she sat on his lap and put her hand on his chest. AJ smiled.
"I thought you couldn't dance?" Howie asked taking a sip of his drink.
"Well, the master himself taught me," Mist replied.
"Wanna dance again?" AJ asked.
"I thought you were tired?"
"Not anymore, c'mon," he said standing up and leading her to the floor again. As they reached the floor, *I Knew I Loved You* by Savage Garden came on. Misty put her arms around AJ's neck while he put his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.
* Maybe it's intuition,
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes *
AJ and Misty shyly looked into each other's eyes. The mood intensified.
* I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my best friend *
Their faces grew closer and closer to each other.
* I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe... *
Their eyes fluttered from the other's eyes to their mouth, slowly growing nearer. Their lips were about to touch when someone tapped AJ on the shoulder and cleared their throat, breaking Misty and AJ apart. They both looked to see Nick with an innocent smile on his face.
"Uh, sorry to interrupt but Misty promised me a dance before we leave," Nick said.
"Frack, couldn't you wait? We were in the middle of something here," AJ said, his anger slowly rising.
"I know but the club's about to close and I wanted to dance with her," Nick whined.
"Ok ok Nick we can dance," Misty said.
"But..." AJ turned to her.
"I did promise him," Misty said letting go of AJ and taking Nick's hand. "We can dance later." She gave him a smile and then focused her attention on Nick. AJ glumly walked to the booth where Howie was sitting, mumbling obscenities.
"Uh, Bone are you alright?" Howie asked. "I thought you were dancing with Misty."
"I was until that little white boy interrupted us," AJ said harshly. Howie looked over to where AJ had come from and saw Misty and Nick slow dancing.
"Why are you getting so worked up for? They're only dancing."
AJ sighed. "Yea I know." AJ turned to watch Mist dance. She moved gracefully to the music. He sighed again. His chance to kiss her was ruined. *Damn, she's beautiful,* AJ thought to himself and smiled. The scent of her shampoo in her hair drove him crazy. He liked being that close to her.
"What's up with him?" Brian asked as he and Kevin approached the booth and sat down. AJ was longingly staring at Misty with an aloof expression on his face.
Kevin snapped his fingers in front of AJ's face. "Wha?" AJ asked breaking away from Misty.
"Do I sense love in the air?" Howie teased.
"Love? Where did you get that idea from?" AJ asked taking a sip of a drink on the table.
"Well let's see. You were slow dancing with Misty, then Nick interrupted you and you got mad. You came stalking over here swearing and calling Nick names. Then you stop everything and stare at Misty dancing with this lovey-dovey expression on your face," Howie informed.
"Hmm... I would classify that as love," Rok chimed in.
"Naw... Misty's my best friend. I do love her... but as a friend," AJ said.
"Love who?" Misty asked curiously as she and Nick came to the table.
"Love? Did I say love? Oh... uh yea I'd love to dance right now," AJ said trying to cover up.
"Again? I'm getting tired," Misty said.
"Just one more dance M? Please then we can go," AJ pleaded.
"Oh alright," Misty said and took AJ by the hand onto the floor. The rest of the guys joined them. The DJ soon announced that the club was closing. The group headed out the door and waited for a taxi. They found one and were driven to the hotel. The Boys reached their floor. They said their good nights and trouped to their own rooms. AJ and Misty went to his room. They changed and slipped into bed.
"I had a great time tonight Alex," Misty murmured as she snuggled up against him. He turned off the light.
"Me too Misty, me too," AJ replied and kissed her on the forehead. They fell asleep in each other's arms.
