chapter5!

“Cut the **** Nick,” Howie yelled to Nick. Nick was pelting grapes at him. “If I were you, I wouldn’t be doing that. You better save every bit you have to eat. You know you’re on a diet.”

That only caused Nick to throw them harder.

AJ laughed at the two of them as they sat on their tour bus, on their way to Boston. “You better listen to Howie, Nick. You’re gonna wish you had those grapes later and have to eat them off the floor.”

Nick pegged AJ with a grape and it hit him square in his forehead.

“Not funny Nick,” AJ told him. See if I sneak you any Mickey Ds.”

“I’m sorry Aje. Man you know I love you.” Nick jumped from his seat and onto the couch that AJ was sitting on. He hugged AJ and started planting kisses all over his face.

“Gross Dude,” AJ said in disgust as he tried to push the heavier guy off of him and onto the floor.

Howie and Nick were both laughing, but AJ didn’t find it funny, only repulsive, as he wiped his face free of Nick’s slobber.

Brian walked out from the back of the bus on his cell phone. “What the hell is so funny?” he asked. “Ya’ll are too loud. I’m on phone.” He was standing next to the table that Nick had his grapes on. He picked up the bunch and started picking the grapes off and throwing them at nick would was lying in the middle of the floor.

“Hey, that’s my snack Bri. Don’t waste my food.” Nick whined. It only caused Howie to laugh even more, so Brian started throwing them at him too. Once everyone calmed down, he returned to the back to continue his phone call.

Nick got off the floor and sat down on the couch next to AJ and placed his arm on his shoulder. “So, you wanna hit the clubs when we pull in tonight?” he asked him.

Howie felt left out. “What about me?”

“What about you Howard? Us single guys gotta stick together don’t we Aje?”

Howie laughed. “I guess you’ll be going out by yourself because AJ is no longer single.”

“What?” Nick turned to AJ. “Tell me it is so AJ?”

AJ laughed. “Sorry man.”

“Who is she?”

It was Howie’s turn to laugh again. “Good luck finding out. He isn’t telling anyone.”

“I’ll guess then. If I guess the name will you tell me?”

AJ shrugged his shoulders with a smirk on his face.

“Do I know her?”

AJ shrugged again.

“You’re not helping man.” AJ still didn’t say anything. “Fine then. Uh, is her name Kristine?”

AJ shook his head.

“Valerie?” Still, AJ shook his head.

“Stephanie? Angie? Laura? Samantha? Leslie? Charlie?”

“Charlie?” AJ asked. “Dude what is wrong with you?”

Nick laughed. “I know a girl named Charlie? She’s a hot redhead.”

“Whatever man.”

“Okay, where was I? Uh, Christine?”

“No. You already said that,” AJ told the blond.

“I know, but that one was with a K. This one is with a CH,” Nick explained like it made all the difference in the world.”

“It’s still the same name.” Howie pointed out. He didn’t remember whose idea it was to have them all share a bus for this tour, but he was starting to enjoy it.

“Chemey? Dara? Bronwyn?” Nick continued.

“Nick, where the hell are you getting these names?” AJ asked.

Nick laughed. “They are all girls that I’ve been with recently,”

“And you remembered all their names?” AJ asked in amazement.

“Yup.” Nick said proudly.

“Man you’ve been busy,” AJ told him.

“Are you missing the single life already?”

AJ snorted. “Hardly.”

“Whatever. I’m still not finished. Donna? Angelica? Leah? Kelley?”

“Are you finished now?” AJ asked once Nick stopped.

“I think so.”

“Well good.” AJ told him as he got up to walk to the back of the bus. “I’m still not telling you.”

Nick shrugged his shoulders. “That’s okay. You’re just jealous, that I’m gonna be partying with hot babes all night.”
