Chapter 31

"Hello?" I asked into the phone as I sat at the kitchen table with Justin.

"Hey" Brian said, "Whatcha doin today?"

"Nothing much...why?"

"I'm having a pool party, wanna come?"

"Sure" I smiled, what time?"

"Now"

I giggled getting up, "Ok, I'll be there soon, is J there?"

"he will be"

"Ok, see ya" I said hanging up.

"Where you going?" Justin asked

"To Brian's for a pool party"

"Damn, that's all you ever do, is hang out with them. What about us?" Joey said from the couch.

"I mean we weren't gonna do anything were we?" I asked

"I thought we were all gonna just chill"

"Awww, I can stay here" I said

"No it's cool" he said

"Fine" I said walking up the stairs. I got dressed then walked back down.

"Let's go see a movie next week" Justin said.

"Yea? Ok" I smiled, "K, I'm gonna get going...bye...love you guys" I walked out to my car and drove to Brian's. I followed the voices to the pool.

"Hey" Kevin said looking up at me from grill where he was making hamburgers.

"Hi" I smiled. I walked over to the edge of the pool and looked down at AJ and Brian who were playing chicken with Howie and Nick.

"Hey Erin , get in" Howie said as he and AJ tried to push each other off.

I took off my shorts and shirt, leaving me in a pink bikini. I climbed in and swam over to the other girls, "Hey" I smiled

"Hey" Leighnne said from her seat on the side of the pool.

"Hey Momma"

She smiled at me while rubbing her hand over her belly.

AJ swam over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist, "Hey"

"Hi" I smiled turning my head and kissing him softly.

"Come play chicken with us"

"Who am I fighting?" I asked

"Mandy?" AJ asked looking at her.

"Ok" she said. We swam over and went to to the middle of the pool.

AJ and Nick both dunked under, and lifted us on their shoulders.

"Go" Brian said

Mandy and I struggled with each other as everyone rooted us on.

"Come on baby!" Aj yelled

Mandy fell off of Nick's shoulders

"Yea!" I screamed throwing my arms up. I got off of AJ's shoulders.

AJ dunked me under.

"Hey!" I exclaimed pulling myself up. AJ tried to swim away before I jumped on his back, "Ha, you can't get away from me"

AJ turned himself around and pulled me into a kiss, "You wanna go to Miami with Nick and Mandy?"

"You're not mad at him anymore?"

"No, so you wanna go?"

"When?"

"today" he shrugged.

I pulled his wrist and looked at his watch, "Babe, it's already 12:30, by the time we get there..."

"Awwww, come on"

"Ok, are we leaving now?"

"After we eat, and we're eating now"

"K" I said climbing out of the pool. I grabbed a towel and we joined the others. I got some chips and fruit before sitting down next to AJ.

"Can you make it for me?" he asked handing me his plate.

"Yea" I said getting back up. I fixed him a big hamburger and chips with a hotdog. I Put everything on the hotdog and grabbed him a coke.

"Here" I said sitting next to him.

"Thank you baby" he smiled. I started eating my fruit before I looked up when I felt eyes on me.

"what?" I asked

"Are you gonna eat?" Aj asked

"I am"

"Real food"

"You call that shit real food. Are you trying to give me a heart attack? SO what, I'm eating healthy" I snapped

 Everyone went back to their own conversations. After we finished eating, Aj, Nick, Mandy and I  got dressed. We said our goodbyes and walked out to AJ's Expedition.

"Well, I don't have anything with me, so we gotta go back to my house, " I said

"K" AJ nodded as Nick moved his stuff into AJ's Car. We drove to my house and got out.

"Ohhh, Brit's here" I said opening the front door, "Hey Justy"

"Hey, you're back already?"

"Oh, we're going to Miami"

"Are you staying at our house?"

"I dunno, we're probably gonna stay in Nick's. I have the key to the house just in case though. Where's Brit?"

"Oh, she took my car to the store to get us some stuff" he said as the others walked in.

"Oh" I said, "Baby, come help me pack" I said to AJ.

"Is your dad here?" He asked

"No, he's golfing"

"k" He said walking up with me. He sat on my bed as I pulled down some bags and started packing.

"Here, get my bathing suits ok?"

"Where are they?"

"In the top drawer"

He went over there and opened it, "Apparently, this is also your thong drawer"

"Oh" I giggled, "get some of those too"

He pulled out some and threw them in my bag. I put everything in its place, "You ready?"

"Yep" I said handing him the bag. He carried it down the stairs, "Alright guys, let's bounce"

"Bye" Justin said standing up

"Bye, tell mom I said bye" I said hugging him. I kissed his cheek before walking out the door. We all piled back in the car and prepared to drive to Miami.

I took AJ's hand in mine and smiled at him, "Do you want me to drive after a while?"

"I'll see" he said

"So are we staying at your house Nick?" I asked

"Yep" he said as he and Mandy played around in the back .

"K" I nodded. AJ drove the strait four hours and then we finally got to Miami. We drove around until we found a restaurant. "Ohh, let's eat here" Aj said pulling in. We all got out and went inside. They seated us immediately.

"For some reason, I just have the urge to kiss you" AJ said.

"Yea? well do it" I said leaning closer to him. He kissed me softly, then deepened it. We were cut off by the waitress.

"What can I get you all"

"uhhhh" AJ said looking through the menu, "I'll have the shrimp scampi"

"I'll have the same" I said smiling at her. She took Nick and Mandy's order then walked away. We ate and then drove to Nick's beach house, "Wow, this is right by mine" I said pointing to where our beach house was.

We got our stuff and then went into Nick's house. Nick showed us our room and then we all went back down to the living room.

"What do ya'll wanna do?" Nick asked

"Let's go into the hot tub" Mandy said

Everyone agreed. AJ and I went up to our room to get our clothes on. I changed into a small pink bikini that tied on the sides. Aj put on a pair of yellow trunks and we went down. We joined Nick and Mandy.

 I sat between Aj's legs and smiled up at him as he began massaging my shoulders.

"You're so perfect" AJ whispered lightly kissing my forehead.

"You too" I said while bringing my head down. I looked at Mandy and Nick who were all over each other, "I'm tired"

"You wanna go up to our room?"

"Yea" I nodded.

"We're going to bed" AJ called as we got out.
