Chapter Two
The girls sat and talked to the redhead, now known as Brian, for quite awhile as he wet his car.
He asked them questions like, where they were from, and when they said Kentucky, his eyes lit up like flashlights. "Really? That's where I'm from too."
'I knew it!' thought Melissa, 'I should've known that accent anywhere.'
"What region you girls from?" he said, making a little goofy grin that was practically to die for.
"Oh we're from Lexington. We just graduated from high school there."
"Lexington? Hey, me too! What a coincidence. Hey do you know the All-Stars Theater and Restaurant?"
"Oh, of course!" said Melissa. "It's our favorite place! We go there all the time! Don't those chicken wings rock?"
As they kept talking about the fabulously delicious food they served at the restaurant, the black Mercedes came back and parked in it's original spot, just as a red Explorer came behind and parked on the girls' driveway. Two girls shot out like bullets and came running down the street. As Melissa and Nadia tried to recognize them, it was Michely and Christina! "Nadi! Meli! Ahh!"
The maroon-colored guy had just walked out of his car and went to duck behind Brian. Brian laughed and whispered something to him, and he straightened up quickly and stood next to Brian. As the four girls hugged and said a thousand I-missed-you-so-much's, the girls turned to Brian, and the maroon guy, and started to introduce the girls one by one.
Michely whispered to Melissa, "Oh my goodness girl, who are those hotties?!"
"Well, the redhead is Brian, and the maroon guy I don't know. But hands-off the redhead he's mine you know. Or at least I hope he will be." remarked Melissa.
"Oh don't worry chica, I'm after the tattooed one. Man what a hottie with a body."
"Girl you know it!" Then they sneaked a little high five behind the guys backs.
"Hey Brian, aren't you gonna introduce me?" the tattooed guy said, eyeing the girl standing next to Melissa. He hadn't really paid attention to the introduction so he missed her name, but he'd get it soon enough.
"Oh sure, hey girls, this is AJ. He's a good buddy of mine. His real name is Alexander James, but he doesn't like it when you call him that." Brian introduced.
"Yeah, AJ would be fine my ladies. Alexander James sounds too, I don't know professional." AJ said. Michely was looking at everything he had on him: his rings, earrings, that boney necklace, (she thought it looked like bones too, but she liked it), his tattoos, and of course his hair. By this time, an hour and a half had passed, and finally a big, white van came driving slowly down the street and turning in the girls' driveway.
"Oh well, finally! There's Jeff now. Hey Jeff!" Nadia called as Jeff stepped off the van. He looked in their direction and smiled.
Nadia ran to him and jumped on him. "Man what took you so long?" she laughed as he tickled her.
"Traffic, chica. Didn't you get any?"
"Nope, we were smooth riding the whole way. Haha, lucky you. Well anyway,
come meet our new neighbors." she said, dragging him down the street toward
Brian's house.
