Chapter Four
“Welcome to my humble home.” Jess said to everyone.
“Before you ask, my parents were very rich. I inherited my grandfather’s
money and their money when my mom died. My dad did die. I found that out a year
ago. Shall we go on a tour?” The guys were in shock and just nodded their
heads. They went up the cascading
stairs and to the right. Room after room, they went past until they came to her
room. It was neat and very big. Posters of the Backstreet Boys all over the
place. Her exercise room was down the hall. “During the summer I rent out
rooms, and hire maids and cooks. It becomes a hotel. I still live here. But I
rent out everything.” She had her laundry room next to that. Her bathroom was
huge. It looked like the Haunting’s walk-in bathroom but there was no other
door. There was a hot tub and a shower and the usual stuff inside. They walked
back out in the hall of more rooms and the turns were so slight that the boys
didn’t notice. “We had fun for my sweet sixteen, huh CJ?” She giggled.
“OH YEA!” CJ screamed.
“Anyways. That ends the tour.” Jess said and they
walked down the left side of the staircase.
“Wow. That’s it?” Howie asked.
“Yea. Anyone hungry? I’m stttttarved.”
Nick’s ears perked up. “I’m HUNGRY!” He exclaimed.
“All right there budddddddy.” Jess giggled. “Let’s
raid my fridge. I think I threw out a lot before I left.” She led the group
into the huge kitchen. “What does everyone want to drink?” Everyone answered
coke. She took out 6 cokes and an iced tea. “Pizza anyone?” She said,
unsuccessful in finding food. Everyone agreed and she picked up the phone. She
ordered 3 pies, she would have leftovers for another day if no one finished
them. Thirty minutes until delivery. “Follow me.” She said and everyone took
their drinks. She led them into the huge living room, which had everything in
it. A huge tv, cd player with big speakers and a few couches. She turned the
light on and the CD player all of a sudden started playing. ‘Hey, Mr. DJ’
came on. She laughed and set down her drink, so did CJ. They stood in the middle
of the floor as the guys sat down, trying to figure out what they were doing.
The girls began to dance the choreography that Jess had made up. Jess began to
do her break dancing at one point and the boys began rounds of ‘Go go go go’
chants. Jess did AJ’s disco/ solo part in the song and everyone was laughing.
They finished up the routine and gave each other high fives. Jess went to
‘Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)’ and they began their own choreographed
moves. The five guys watched as the girls performed flawlessly. After that, Jess
switched CDs and put on ‘Larger Than Life.’ The touch choreography that the
girls had made was down pat. The girls did not even need to think of where to
go. Soon after switches of CDs, different artists and such, the doorbell rang.
Jess picked up the money she had placed on the counter and began to leave the
room.
“I’ll come.” AJ screamed after her. He soon caught up
and threw his arms around her waist. He
kissed her cheek as they walked together.
The doorbell rang again. “I’m coming!” She screamed
and they began to walk quicker. She opened the door, “Hello.” She said,
being polite.
“Jess?” A freshman gushed, his name was Jason.
“Hi Jason.”
“You.. you have a boyfriend?”
Jess laughed. “Yea, AJ this is Jason a freshman at my
high school. Jason this is my boyfriend AJ.”
“Hi Jason. Nice to meet you.” AJ said, removing his
hand from her waist to shake hands with Jason.
“I.. I.. I didn’t know you had a bbboy..boyfriend.”
Jason said, he didn’t shake hands with AJ to say the least.
“Sorry Jason. Thanks for the pizza. Keep the change.
Alright? I’ll see you next week in band. Ok?”
“Yea. Sure.. Bye Jess.” He handed her the pizza.
“Bye.” Jess closed and locked the door. AJ was looking
at her strangely. “He’s liked me for a few years, now. Don’t worry. I
think he’s a dork.” She said, walking into the living room.
AJ’s arms were removed from her waist and she kissed his cheek. “Who
wants fooooooood?” She said in a sing-songy kind of way. Everyone rushed up to
her. “Geez, guys. Calm down.” She placed the pizza down and walked away.
“Who was the pizza guy? Any hot guys?” CJ asked.
“Only if you count my stalker-boy Jason hot.” Jess
teased.
“Ohhhh no. Now he knows where you live!” CJ joked.
“Ok, we are watching Empire Records. If you don’t like
it, tough.” Jess said, laughing.
“Yes ma’am.” The guys responded.
The movie started. “Ceej, you know the AJ guy in this is
hot..”
“Yea, I know.”
“Hey…” AJ pouted.
“Your hotter, J.” She said, looking at him and kissing
him on the lips quickly. He kept kissing her and then pulled away quickly.
“You tease.” She joked. She pulled a slice of pizza from the box for her.
She snuggled up to AJ an started eating.
“Get a room!” The group shouted at them. They laughed
and watched the rest of the movie. CJ snuggled up to Nick and he put his arms
around her waist, pulling her on his lap.
