As Athena walked into her living room, she could see on her floor a pair of white sneakers, that looked as if they had been thrown off. As she walked past them, and made her way to her bedroom, she could see that a black shirt was thrown over one of the stools next to the entrance to her kitchen. She picked it up, and once more walked towards her bedroom door. Since it was already open a crack, she could see that a pair of men’s pants were also thrown on the floor, right in the doorway. As she bent over and picked the up, she could sense a pressence. She looked up towards her bed, and saw Joey, standing next to it wearing only his underwear! "Took you long enough. I thought you’d never take me back." Joey said, as he pulled her closer to him. "Of course I take you back. I love you." With those words, Joey leaned down, and kissed her deeply. But just before he could get her on the bed, a loud ringing filled the room. Just then, JC barged in on them, holding a phone in his hand. "It's for you." before he could say anything else, Athena woke up. "What the fuck was that all about?!" She said out loud. She then realized that her phone really was ringing. She reached over to her phone and picked it up. "Hello?" she said, waiting for an answer on the other end. "hey, did we wake you?" Athena's heart stopped when she heard the familiar voice belonging to JC. "Yeah, you woke me up from you!" there was silence on the other end, mostly from confusion. "forget it!" she said, ending his questioning. "Anyway... what's your plans for tonight?" he asked, in his pick-up line way! "Nothing, why?" "well, we wanted to know if you would like to go to the club with us tonight?" As he said the words, Athena's smile started to drift away. "JC, if Joey wants me to go so bad, let him ask me himself." She said, remembering the first date her and Joey had gone on. They had just met at this carnival in New York. They had exchanged numbers, but Athena thought he would never call. The next day though, she got a phone call from one of the friends that were with him that night; JC. He had explained that Joey was nervous for the first time in his life, and he wanted JC to call her and make a date at the local club. Of course, she couldn't have said no to such a sweet yet sexy voice, and of course Joey's other three friends who were in the background, were screaming, 'WE LOVE YOU!' "You know us too well 'thena. But seriously, just give him a chance tonight, ok? He might just surprise you." With that, there was no way she could say no. "Alright, but Amber's comin' with me." She pointed out. "I wouldn't think of not inviting her."
The club scene was no different that night, except for five really hott guys waiting for them at a table near by. " 'bout time you guys got here. We thought you died!" Chris said, being his usual self. "Yeah, well Amber here takes almost a lifetime to get ready!" Athena joked. Amber gave her an evil look. "Hey, now don't rank on my girl. Only I'm aloud to do that." Justin joked also. Of course Amber hit him for that one. As Athena looked around the table to see where she could sit, without getting into trouble, she glanced over at Joey, who was trying to resist looking at her. But it was obviously not working. She then took a seat in between Lance and JC. There was an eerie silence between them all for a moment. "Alright then, how about we do what we came here to do?" Lance walked out onto the dance floor, with Chris, Justin, and Amber following. Which left Joey, JC and Athena at the table in silence. "Joe, go out on the dance floor and dance." JC whispered to him. "and leave her here? What good is that gonna do?" Joey said, trying to be as quiet as he could. "don't worry. I'll talk to her." JC pushed his friend out of his chair. "Where's Joey going?" Athena asked in astonishment. "Don't worry about it mommy! It's a club, he's goin to dance. Why, are you afraid of what he might do?" JC laughed at her. She gave him an evil look. "Do you see this little umbrella? The pointy end can cause alot of damage!" She threatened, lifting up the the umbrella that was inside of his drink. There was a silence between them for a moment,as Athena watched Joey dance with Amber. "When are you guys leavin'?" Athena screamed over the noise. "What?" JC screamed back. "I can't hear you." he screamed again. She came closer to his right ear so that he could somewhat here her. "It's really hard to have a conversation in here you know!" she said. "That's exactly what I was thinking!" he surprisingly took her hand and got up from the table. He led her out on the back porch of the club. There were a few couples there, sitting on the chairs, making out. They stood in the middle for a moment, looking for a place to sit. "Oh, forget this!" JC said out loud. He led her over to the large wide stairs that were facing out towards a lake sort of thing. Not knowing what to expect next, Athena waited for him to be seated. Once JC sat down on the step, she sat next to him. "There, now we can have a conversation," he said, with a smile. Once again, there was silence for a long moment. "When are you guys leavin'?" Athena asked once more. "Well, after the concert here in Elmira, we'll be doin' one in Albany, which is our last concert." he said, looking out at a few obviously drunk people who were playing in the lake. "Are you serious?!" Athena sounded shocked. "Yeah, why are you so surprised at that?" he asked, finally looking at her. "I don't know. It's just, I wonder if Joey will choose to stay here for awhile, considering he doesn't HAVE to leave anytime soon, ya know?" she said, looking at her feet. Even though she knew JC wouldn't say anything to anyone, she still felt weird telling him something that seemed so personal to her. "Yeah, well, he'll probably stay if he has a reason too. But the question is, is there a reason?" he asked, looking straight at her. She starred at him for a moment, looking into his eyes. He had really nice eyes, which surprised her because she had never noticed them before. "You're not answering!" She really didn't know how to answer, because she was afraid that the word might get to Joey. "I don't know JC. I just don't know what to do. If I say yes to him, there's a chance that he might do the same thing to me again. But if I say no, then I will regret it for the rest of my life!" Athena didn't know how to answer such a question. Especially since she was answering one of Joey's bestfriends. "I guess you're right. You don't know what to do." he said, laughing at her a little bit. "I'm sorry Jace, it's kinda hard explaining something like this to you." She explained. "Why do you say that?" " 'cause you're like, one of Joey's good friends." he didn't say a word, wondering if he should even answer to that. "You know, me and Joey have alot in common!" he said out of nowhere. "Oh really? Like what?" She looked up at him with a smile. "Well, we like the same type of music, same flavor ice cream, same woman." he looked away as he said the words that seemed to just roll off his tounge. She sat there for a moment, in shock at what she had just heard. She had no clue what he ment by that. "JC, what are you talking about?!" Even those words were hard to say. He looked at her, trying to slickly move closer. She wondered if she should move away, or say something, or just let whatever was going to happen, happen. As he leaned over to what looked like was going to be a kiss, she quickly placed both hands on his chest, not pushing him away, but just keeping him from moving even closer. "JC, we can't, really.I would feel like such a hipicrate if we did." As she said the words, she realized that her hands were touching what most teenage girls would kill to touch! And at that point she understood why. He had quite the body.
He didn't move from where she had stopped him. He looked into her eyes, and if he only looked far enough, he would have seen fear. "Just do what YOU want to do, not what Joey would want you to do." With those words, she lessened the preassure of her hands, but did not move them. Once he felt free to move,he leaned in closer, until his lips found hers. As the kiss that seemed so...forbbiden deepened, she knew that this kiss would change the way her and JC saw eachother. His lips seemed so, heavenly, and new. Maybe that was because the only lips she had kissed in the past, 3-4 years were those belonging to Joey. As JC wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him, she felt as if nothing could stop them from doing something more! That was, until an....unwanted pressence appeared. "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOIN' ON HERE?!?!" The loud screaming came from none other, than Joey!
