Andrea: Hey there Jilly-B! Have you seen Melissa? It’s really busy right now and Lissa and I are having trouble keeping up with the orders.
Jillian: Last time I saw her she was dancing with Howie and I think they went out for some air. If you really need help then get Jesse and Billy to help I think that they are in the back!
Andrea: That’s not fair! She should be working like the rest of us.
Jillian: Yeah well I promise you that if you meet someone tonight then you can leave too! Does that make you feel better? I just make an announcement saying that all of my waitresses are leaving me and that if you want a drink then you will have to come up to the bar. Now what do you need?
Andrea gives Jill the order and Shawn comes out from the back room. He walks over to Jill and gives her a little kiss on the cheek. Then he looks over at Andrea and smiles.
Shawn: Hey Darlin’! ... Ah... What’s the matter Baby?
Andrea: Oh it’s nothing. I have a lot of work to do that’s all. See ya around!
Shawn: I know how to fix that. Come dance with me!
Andrea: I can’t I have stuff to do!
Shawn: Quit playing games! You need some fun in your life. Now let’s Get down!
Then he reaches across the bar and grabs Andrea’s hand. Andrea looks over at Jillian who is laughing at Shawn and then nods her head. Then Shawn leads her out onto the dance floor just as the song changes to “Tender Love” While they are dancing AJ comes out from behind the stage and goes over to the bar to order a drink. Then he turns around to watch everyone dance. He suddenly stops when he sees Andrea and watches her for the rest of the song. After the song Andrea kisses Shawn and thanks him for the dance, and then she walks back to the bar.
AJ: Hello! My name is AJ. What’s yours?
Andrea: It’s Andrea. Can I get you something?
AJ: No, I just wanted to know your name.
Andrea: Why do you want to know? I’m really busy.
AJ: Well there was something about the way you moved, caught my eye. So I just wanted to meet you. That’s all!
Andrea: Well you moved pretty well too! I saw you on stage earlier tonight, the girls went crazy!
AJ: Well the would you like to dance with me?
Andrea: Excuse me. You’ll have to speak louder because I can’t hear you.
AJ leans over and whispers into Andrea’s ear.
AJ: I asked you if you wanted to dance with me? You know... You show me some of your moves and I’ll show you mine!
Andrea: I’d love to dance with you!
AJ grabs her hand and pulls her out onto the dance floor while the song ”If you want it to be good girl get yourself a bad boy” is playing. When the song is over Andrea starts heading back to the bar when AJ grabs her.
AJ: One more dance!
The suddenly the song “Show me the meaning of being lonely” and AJ wraps his arms around Andrea. Andrea wraps her arms around AJ’s neck and they stay that way for the rest of the song. After the song Andrea turns to walk away but AJ stops her.
AJ: Where are you trying to run off too?
Andrea: I have to get back to work.
AJ: Well take a break, and let’s go somewhere quiet to talk.
Andrea: Where would you like to go? I’m mean its opening night and I really have to get back to work. And besides it’s a nightclub there’s no place that’s quiet.
AJ: Wait... I have an idea! Stay right where you are. I don’t wanna lose you now.
AJ laughs, kisses her on the cheek and runs off into the crowd. When Andrea can’t see him anymore she turns around and sees Lissa on the edge of the dance floor laughing at her.
Andrea: What’s so funny?
Lissa: you are!
Andrea: And what’s that suppose to mean?
Lissa: Well it means that you are a hopeless flirt.
Andrea: How so?
Lissa: well because I thought that you were after Shawn or was it Jesse, it’s so hard to keep up with you. Just exactly who do you love?
Andrea: Hey I’m just keeping an open mind that’s all. Is that so wrong?
Lissa: No but your still a huge flirt!
Andrea: That’s the way I like it!
Lissa: Well have fun!
As Lissa turns to leave AJ comes running back with a smile on his face.
AJ: You moved!
Andrea: I had too I was getting stepped on over there. No who or what are you smiling at?
AJ: You, You’re the one!
Andrea: Why are you smiling at me?
AJ: Because I get to drive a really cool car, and I also get to spend some time with you. And that makes my night larger than life. Now come on let’s go!
Andrea: Well wait a minute! I have to go and tell Jilly and...
AJ raises his finger, presses it against her lips and Andrea’s words trail off.
AJ: No you don’t! I already did where do you think the car came from?
Andrea: You already talked to her! ... and she said that it was okay for Lissa to work by herself ... and she’s letting you borrow her Jag. Are you sure you talked to the right person ... the owner ... Jillian.
AJ: Yes, everything has been taken care of! She said that she promised you and that she don’t want you back until tomorrow.
Andrea: She said that?
AJ: That’s what she said! Now come on let’s have a party!
AJ grabs Andrea’s hand and leads her out to the underground garage and they get into the black Jag parked in Jillian’s reserved parking space.
Andrea: Well where do you wanna go?
AJ: Anywhere … I wanna be with you, that’s all!
They get into the car and drive for about minutes until they come to a huge park.
In a park -
AJ pulls into the parking lot and then he jumps out of the car to open the door for Andrea. They walk hand in hand towards a swing set and Andrea sits down.
AJ: Here let me push you! ... Hold on real tight.
AJ takes a running start and goes right under the swing. Andrea goes so high that she almost goes over the top of the swing set and AJ can’t stop himself and falls to the ground. Andrea sees him fall and they both start laughing. Andrea puts her foot down to slow the swing down. AJ stands up and sits on the swing besides Andrea.
Andrea: Can I ask you a question?
AJ: Baby I’m yours! You can ask me anything you want.
Andrea: Why are we here? … I mean did you plan al this?
AJ: Well sort of! You see I just wanna be close to you ever since I seen you playing football with your friends and it was hard before the show because we had so much work to do. Then after the show it was hard to get you alone at the club because you’re a waitress and everybody has to drink. So when I went to ask Jill if I could take you away, I also asked her where a nice quiet, romantic place is that wasn’t that far and she mentioned this place. Why are you sorry that you agreed to come?
Andrea: No I’m not sorry! But I do have one more question ... if you don’t mind?
AJ: Ask away!
Andrea: Why me? ... There must have been a hundred girls at the club throwing themselves at you tonight, you could have had any one of them maybe even two or three.
AJ: Yes but you didn’t throw yourself at me, and I want it that way! Now I have an idea ... Let’s take this chance to get to know each other better!
Andrea: Well ... What do you want to know?
AJ: Everything! But first this swing is hurting my butt so let’s go and see if there’s a blanket or something in the trunk of your friend’s car. Come on Give me your heart ... um ... I mean hand!
AJ reaches for her hand and pulls her out of the swing. Then AJ puts his arm around her shoulder and they walk back over to the car. At the car AJ pops open the trunk and they both look inside. To their surprise there is a huge picnic basket and a large blue plaid blanket inside. Andrea opens the basket and looks inside.
Andrea: Did you set this all up?
AJ: No, I swear. I wish that I had thought of this though.
Andrea: Well if you didn’t, and I know I didn’t then who did?
AJ: Look there’s a note!
He reaches into the basket and pulls out a white piece of paper and reads it:
AJ & Andrea,
I thought that you might get a little hungry on your little adventure so I decided to fix you a little something. Hope you don’t mind!
Enjoy & Have fun!
Jilly-b
They look at each other and start laughing.
Andrea: She thinks this is a little snack, I think that she put the whole kitchen in here!
AJ: Well, We’ve got it goin’ on now. Come on let’s go and have a little picnic under the stars.
Andrea grabs the blanket while AJ grabs the basket in on hand and Andrea around the waist with the other. They walk back to the swing set and Andrea lays out the blanket. They sit on the blanket and Andrea goes through the basket while AJ leans back and looks up at the stars.
AJ: wow, that girl thought of everything! Look there’s strawberries, cookies, and container of sugar, whipped cream, and even champagne.
Andrea: Is there glasses?
AJ: I think so let me look.
AJ looks deeper into the basket and finds two glasses. He hands them to Andrea while he pops the cork on the champagne and bubbles go flying everywhere. They both start laughing. Andrea plays shy and takes a sip of her champagne, then stops and looks over at AJ over the rim of her glass. He sees her but pretends not to notice.
AJ: Baby, move a little closer ... I don’t bite ... unless you want me too!
Andrea: I’m not afraid of you biting me, I just want to look at the stars.
AJ: Come here and lay down beside me ... uh ... You can see the stars better if you lay down.
Andrea slides over beside AJ and they both look up at the stars. They lay there a few moments in total silence and then suddenly AJ stands up.
Andrea: AJ what’s the matter?
AJ: Andrea, I was wondering something ... well actually I’ve been wondering it ever since I seen you dancing at the club.
Andrea: What’s been bugging you?
AJ: That guy ... You know the one that you were dancing with ... was he ... um ... your boyfriend?
Andrea: Shawn? No he’s just a friend ... Why?
AJ: Well do you believe in love at first sight?
Andrea: Yes ... Why?
AJ: Well, ... Let’s see ... how can I put this ... I never thought that I would lose my mind over a girl, I thought I could control it. Even the girl that I intended to marry, but ever since I seen you on the dance floor you’ve turned my world upside down and inside out. I know that we are two worlds apart but if you give me the chance, I can show you what true love means. Because now that you’re in my life well I have realized that if I don’t have you, then I would go crazy. I mean it’s not that I can’t live without you, it’s just that I don’t even want to try. And I promise, I’ll never break your heart. Please say something ... do something ... I scared you ... I said too much ... too soon ... I’m sorry.
Andrea: No ... Its not that ... Its just that ... well ... you’ve said everything that has been running through my head since we first danced. I don’t know what to do?
AJ: Hold me ... Hold me and don’t you let go!
Andrea jumps up and goes flying into his arms. AJ leans down and kisses her. Andrea gets up on his tiptoes and kisses him back.
AJ: Did you really mean everything that you said?
Andrea: If you meant everything that you said!
AJ: Are you crazy? ... Of course I meant it ... I would go anywhere for you ... It’s gotta be you and only you, I would surrender my heart, body, and soul if you asked me to. I gave you my heart right from the start and that’s the way it will always be, no matter the distance I want you to know that You’re the one for me.
Andrea: What do you mean “distance”? I thought that I would never find someone like you and now that I have found you your leaving me. Why?
AJ: Baby, No one else comes close to you I meant that I have a tour coming up. That’s all! I’d give up forever to be with you every minute of every day but I know that I can’t. But I will make you a deal, I will write you everyday and call you every chance that I get. I will make it work!
Andrea: I know that it will work, and besides we have a few days it’s not like your leaving tomorrow. We do have a few days right?
AJ: Yes, my love. We do have a few days!
Andrea: Then everything will be fine as long as you love me and try not to pay attention to the millions and millions of beautiful girls that will be throwing themselves at you every day. And always remember that I’m the perfect fan for you. Promise me you’ll remember that?
AJ leans down and answers her with a kiss and then he holds her tighter in his arms and they fall back onto the blanket.
