Chapter 16
The group walked into the Plaza hotel in New York City. It was a tall building with at least fifty floors and had a lot of things the girls could do while the guys rehearsed.
" Wow this place is amazing" Rachel exclaimed.
" Well get used to it cause were here for a whole week" AJ said.
Kevin walked over to the front desk to check in and get the rooms. Gina and Chelsea were amazed but Rachel had never really been out of Florida so this to her was heaven. Kevin walked over to the group who had been hanging around the lobby.
" We are all on the fifteenth floor" He told them.
” Brian, Howie, AJ and I are in room 1521, Rachel, Gina and Chelsea will be in room 1522 and Nick and Mandy will be in room 1523" Kevin explained handing Nick his key and Chelsea hers.
" Now lets go and get settled in and we all can go do whatever we want and its three thirty right now so lets meet for dinner in the dining room at six sound ok to everyone" He asked looking at all of them.
" Yeah that’s fine" AJ answered for all of them.
The gang all headed up to their rooms.

The girls walked up to the floor and were surprised at how large one floor was.
" Well we are going to take all day just to find our room" Chelsea joked.
" It won't really be that hard all we have to do is match the number on the key to the number on the door" Rachel replied.
The girls looked for the number and after ten minutes of making a bunch of twists and turns they finally spotted the door.
" Ah ha found it" Rachel said happily.
She put the key in the door and opened it. The three girls stood there in awe. The room was huge. It had a living room, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The girls had expected it to be the size of a closet not of their apartment.
" Wow this place is so big," Gina cried.
" UM yeah" Rachel replied her eyes huge.
Chelsea wondered over to the window and looked out at the view. The view was beautiful. It looked over all the buildings tops and in the distance you could see the statue of liberty. " Hey guys come check out this view" Chelsea called over her shoulder. Gina and Rachel joined her.
" Wow New York City is so big" Gina commented.
After a few minutes Rachel broke the silence.
" What you all want to do".
" I want to go the exercise room," Gina said.
" Well IM going to go for a swim in the pool" Rachel told them.
" IM going to go see Kevin and hang out with him for a little while but first IM going to call Ryan to tell him I got here safely" Chelsea said whipping out her cell phone.
She dialed the familiar number. It rang once, twice three times than his answering machine picked up. Chelsea hung up looking confused.
" That’s funny he said he would be home all day awaiting my call and he isn't home" " You don't think he is cheating on me do you" Chelsea asked with worry.
Rachel let out a groan.
" IM getting ready to go to the pool" Rachel announced going into her room. That had decided that since she was the messiest that she could have a room to herself and Gina and Chelsea were going to share.
" No I don't think he is cheating on you he probably went to the store real quick" Gina assured her. " IM going to put on my work out clothes and going into the weight room Ill see you later," Gina said.
A few minutes later both girls had gone leaving Chelsea too wonder.

Gina walked into the weight room in her tank top and princess sweat pants. It was deserted with not a soul in sight. That’s how she wanted it. She needs to be alone for awhile. Ever since that talk on the plane she couldn't get AJ off her mind. Gina spotted a treadmill in the middle of the room and thought a good run would clear her mind and help her think straight. After Gina had set up the treadmill she got on it and pressed the start button and was on her way. She remembered AJ's smile and his laugh they had a lot in common and it was like she could tell him anything. Her main question was since when did she start thinking of AJ that way"? She always thought that AJ was hot and when the group all started hanging out she thought he was nice as a friend but actually getting to know him she felt something strong that she hadn't felt for Howie or even Nick. But the problem was that her best friend who liked AJ for nine years was dating him and her friendship meant more to her so she couldn't do anything about it. Gina turned on the radio and one of her favorite songs came on. Instantly thoughts and pictures of AJ invaded her mind.
"When You Say Nothing At All"

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
" Stop it" Gina, said to herself. " What am I doing".
" You're on a treadmill listening to music" a familiar voice replied behind her. Gina jumped and turned around.
" Hey AJ what are you doing here" Gina asked.
" IM here to lift some weights" AJ replied innocently.
Truthfully he had happened to be walking by and seen her and something in him made him go back to his to change in his gym clothes. Before he had been wondering aimlessly through the hotel trying to keep his mind off of her. AJ walked over to the weights. Gina thought AJ looked sexy in a pair of sweatpants and white wifebeater. Gina was broken out of her thoughts by AJ waving his hand in front of her face.
" Hello did you hear what I said?" AJ asked impatiently.
AJ couldn't help but stare at her body. " Where were you just now".
" I um was just thinking sorry what was it that you said" Gina stuttered.
" I said would you spot me," he asked again.
" Yeah sure" Gina replied standing over him as he started.

Rachel made her way down to the pool where there were very few people. She had brought her pale green bikini since it was her favorite. Rachel laid herself towel down and stuck her toe in the water to test the temperature. It was just perfect. Not too hot and not too cold. She jumped in and went for a swim. She was a swimmer was seven so she started doing cannonballs. After about five it caused the only two people at the pool to leave.
"Oops" She muttered.
After a few minutes she started getting hungry. Rachel made her way to the vending machine at the corner and bought Doritos. Rachel rounded the corner back to the pool but quickly hid when she saw Nick. Nick looked hot in his bathing suit and no shirt. Rachel licked her lips. Nick looked around to make sure no one was coming. When Nick was sure it was safe he took off his swimming trunks. Rachel grinned.
" So the third leg really is that size" Rachel thought with a smile.
Nick jumped into the pool and started swimming. Rachel took that as her que to go to the pool. Nick came up from the water.
" Nice balls" Rachel commented with an evil grin.
Nick immediately tried to cover himself up.
" Too late already saw" Rachel said.
" Oh I see you want me" Nick teased.
" Your right I do you caught me" Rachel replied half-serious half-joking. " Really" Nick asked surprised.
" No I don't want your chubby body" Rachel teased.
" Now your getting it woman" Nick said getting out of the pool.
Rachel ran around the pool but Nick easily caught up with her picked her up and threw her in the pool squealing and trying to fight him,
" I have a baseball bat" Rachel threatened.
Nick rolled his eyes and tickled her. Rachel giggled and swam away from him. Nick grabbed her arm and turned her around where they were face to face. Rachel could feel his breath on her face. Nick leaned in and both shared the most passionate kiss of their lives. Rachel felt sparks and could tell Nick did too.
" UM IM sorry it was a mistake' Nick lied.
Instantly Rachel thought of AJ. " Yeah it was forget it ever happened" Rachel told Nick.
Neither thought it was a mistake or wanted to forget and knew they wouldn't.
" Yeah it was a mistake" Mandy's snotty voice interrupted. " I saw you kiss my boyfriend and now your going to pay".
Mandy lifted her hand to hit Rachel but Rachel caught it and kicked her in the shin. Rachel than grabbed Mandy by her hair and pulled her up and punched her in the eye and pushed her in the pool. Nick started laughing while Mandy came up sputtering. Rachel gave her a satisfied grin and grabbed her stuff and left.

Chelsea made her way to Kevin's hotel room. She had spent the last hour worried that Ryan was cheating on her but finally convinced herself that she trusted him enough to know he wouldn't do that. Chelsea felt guilty that she hadn't spent much time with him in awhile. As she made her way to the door she heard Kevin talking on the phone. She couldn't help but listen.
" Look why don't you leave me alone you were the one that ended it" She heard Kevin say.
It was quiet for a minute
" Kristen we are divorced get that through your head".
A pang of jealousy hit Chelsea in the heart. " Maybe I should come back later," Chelsea thought to herself.
Hearing Kevin talking to his EX wife made her feel weird inside and all she wanted to do is cry. Chelsea made her way into the elevator. Her plan was to go for a walk into to get some air.
" Why am I going to cry over Kevin possibly getting back with Kristen" She wondered. " I mean I should be happy for him since I know how much he loved her and how hurt he was when it ended". " But why do I feel hurt". Chelsea than heard the ding and the elevators open. She walked out and made her way through the lobby and was almost out the door when she heard her name called. Chelsea turned around to see a familiar face running towards her. Chelsea's mouth dropped opened. " Ryan"?
