chapter three

Nick sighed said “Alright, alright I’ll lay off just get off my back okay?" Howie looked at Nick and said "I cannot believe you asked her out! Would I have done that to Brian? No!" Leighanne looked up at Howie. “Do what to Brian?” she asked. AJ perked up. “See on the set of “As long as you love me” where you two met we were looking at headshots of you all figuring out who was gonna be in the video. Well Howie saw your picture and thought you were hot, but he layed off because of Brian.” Leighanne raised an eyebrow to Howie. “You mean I could have been Leighanne Dorough?” she shuddered. “No offense Howie but I don’t think we would have lasted.” She said laughing. Howie laughed as well. “None taken.” He said. Meanwhile in the ladies room Angelica looked at Monica and said "Monica are you ok? Don’t let him get to you, he is just a rock star and thinks the world revolves around him. Besides how many trips are we going to make to the ladies room huh? I mean the décor is great but it’s a little cramped." Monica doesn’t look up from the floor as she slightly laughs and says, "I’m fine, I wasn’t crying its just my allergies acting up I am going to see if the boss still needs me and if not, I’ll be at my house, here is the key so you can get in after you get off of work. See you tonight" she handed Angelica the key turning to find Morgan. Angelica took the key and nodded "Okay, but I know better I know you were crying." Morgan agreed to give Monica the rest of the night off. So she went to tell Angelica that she was going to be in the lounge area. Angelica nodded and said "Ok that’s fine I’ll be there when my shift is over with" then Angelica went right over to Kathy and said it loud enough for AJ to hear her all the way down the table where he was sitting. "Hey Kathy, it’s really too bad because Monica really, really liked AJ and after what happened she is at home crying into her pillow because all she ever wanted was to get to know him." Kathy turned around to glare at AJ. Brian caught it and joined in "AJ man, how could you do that to that young lady?" Nick looked at Angelica smiling then he looked at AJ and then said, "What are you thinking she is a nice girl and you had to go and make her cry?" AJ rolled his eyes. “Oh puh-lease. Who are you to give me lectures Carter. Get the hell out of my face before I really get upset.” Kevin agreed with Nick then he said "AJ man if I were you I would call her up and apologize because if you don’t there are going to be two women that won’t let you live this down not to mention Brian, Howie and me." Kristen threw AJ her cell phone and said "Alexander James Mclean you should really be ashamed here is my phone, call her and tell her your sorry. I got the number from Kathy and be sincere about it or else, oh by the way you have to ask her out and that’s that!" Kristen handed him her cell phone. AJ called her house but didn’t get an answer. He looked at Angelica "Well now what? She isn’t answering the phone" he said. Kristen reached hitting him in the back of the head then said "Call her back and leave her a message, geeze Alex you are really slipping today!" AJ looked at her and said AJ called Monica’s house and he got her voice mail he left a message apologizing and asking her out. AJ then got up and walked outside to have cigarette. Howie walked back to the table and passed AJ "Where has AJ gone off to." Howie asked the others. "He went to feed his bad habit". Nick said. “Which is where I am headed.” Howie looked at Nick and rolled his eyes. Angelica looked at Howie and smiled blushingly. Howie smiled back and Brian tapped his arm. “Why don’t you go over there and talk to her?” Howie looked at Brian than started to head over to Angelica but Morgan came in to tell Angelica that her shift was over. Angelica said "Thanks, I’ll see you Thursday." When Howie saw that Angelica was leaving he sat back down, after all she had his number. Monica had come back for she forgot her purse at the club that had her cell phone in it so she had no other choice but to turn around and come back. No one knew that Eric was out of jail that very night, his friend had posted bail, and now he was standing outside waiting for Angelica to come out. Angelica looked at AJ and said "Bye Jerk!" AJ looked up and glared at her. "Fuck you, for your information I apologized to Monica." He snarled. “And that is supposed to make it better? All you rock stars are alike, you think you make a public apology and the world is roses and sunshine again.
