"China, would you mind leaving us alone for a second." She just glared at him. "I promises I won't be stupid." China raised an eyebrow as she walked past him and out the door. Nick just looked at the floor as he spoke. "Jocelynn, look, about what happened out there I am sorry. I guess I just let the alcohol and my hormones take over."

     Joce walked over and looked up at him, she sighed, "Nick, it's okay. I didn't run in here though because you kissed me. It's not that I didn't enjoy it, it's just that, well it took me by suprise. That is all."

     "Yeah, I kinda thought that was why, I also realized that Alex had kissed you outside. I hate to admit it," he ran his hand through his hair, "But I am really fucking jealous. I know that there is something between you and Alex. I guess I will just have to accept that, but we can still be friends though, right?" Joce smiled and nodded. "Well then can I have a hug at least, as a friend" Nick suggested as he pulled her into his arms. Nick rested his chin on her head and couldn't help but smile. He thought, 'This is too easy.' As he just held her in the restroom.

                                                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Having finally gathered his composure, he walked back into the bar after about 5 minutes. When he got back to the table where everyone had been occuping he noticed that Joce and Nick were both not there. Looking around the room he didn't see them on the dance floor. Before anyone at the table could say anything to him, he walked to the men's bathroom to relieve himself of all the soda he had just drank. As he walked past the ladies bathroom he thought he heard voices of a woman and a man. Curiousity got the best of him and he peaked into the room and he couldn't believe what he saw.

     Alex's eyes nearly bulged from his head as he saw Jocelynn in Nick's arms. Nick lifted his chin from the top of hers as she brushed a loose strand of hair from her face. Nick smiled and kissed her on the forehead, that was IT, Alex threw open the door and shoved Nick and Jocelynn apart. "What the fuck is happening here? What you have to try us both out to see who you like best, which one of us you want to bed first?" he accused at Jocelynn. He could feel liquid heat rise up his neck as his jealousy boiled. "And you Nick, you just couldn't fucking back off for once! You know what fuck you both, I'm going to fucking find a ride back to the hotel." He threw his hands up in the air and walked out the bathroom and the bar.

     Jocelynn stood there in utter shock, not even noticing that her hands were clenched so tight that her nails dug into her palms. 'Who in hell does that son of a bitch thinks he is. Accusing me! Without even fucking letting me speak. I am going to give that jackass a piece of my mind." Her teeth were clenched as she stared at the door. At the same time Nick was thinking, 'Now that I didn't expect. But I might as well use it in my favor.' He grabbed Joce's arm as she headed for the door.

     "Don't, he will only get madder. Just let him cool off for a while. Plus how is he going to get back to the hotel?"

     "I don't give a damn if he gets more pissed. I am going to give Alexander a peice of my mind that he can choke on it!" Nick couldn't help but chuckle, "Oh and what do you find so funny about this Carter?"

     "I am sorry, but-" he paused so he could chose his words carefully, "I can just imagine you standing on a step stool so you can yell at him."

     Joce couldn't help but smile, "Sqrew you, Carter." She took a deep breath and tried to calm down enough to open her hands. "Well still, I better find him so I can take you guys back to the hotel. This turned out to be one hell of a disaterous night." She then walked out of the bathroom with Nick fallowing her. China met her outside the door, she had hurried over when she saw Alex storm out of it hollaring. China had sent Blake, Kolas and Trish to deal with him while she went to see how Joce was.

     "Trish and Blake followed him, he looks massive pissed, what the hell did you do now, Woman?" She asked with her hands on her hips. Looking over Joce's shoulder she saw Nick walk up very close behind her. "And why do I have the feeling that Blondie over here has something to do with it?"

     Joce slightly turned her head and bit her lip as Nick placed his hand on her shoulders. "I don't know what honestly happened. Alex came into the bathroom and just fucking blew up at me. He accused me ot 'trying him and nick out' before I 'bed' them."

    "He did what?! You have got to be kidding me. This is like the first date you have gone on since you and Joe divorced." China was shocked at what Joce had told her. Trish walked back into the bar and right over to them. "So what did that fucker tell you? Did you here about this?"

     "All I heard out of his mouth was a whole bunch of swears, muttering about how these two-" Trish pointed at Joce and Nick, "fucking deserve eachother, how he was stupid and she was a desieving bitch, and something about there not being any civilization out here because of no cabs. Shit like that. So we grabbed him and threw his ass into the back of Blake's truck and the boys drove him back to the hotel."

     "Well at least he was being civil." Joce rolled her eyes. "All I know is I gave Nick a hug, Alex walked in screamed at us, mainly me then he walked out before I could even get a word in. You know what if he wants to act that way let him, after all it is not like he and I were even in a relationship. Fuck it, who's up for drinks?" She walked away from the group and hollared at the bartender, "Josh, bring over a pitcher of MGD, a couple Carrona's and a bottle of Tequilla, shot glass and the fillings!"

     Nick followed her and put his arm around her waist and whispered into her ear, "I thought you didn't drink?"

     "Normally I don't, but since I have the night free with no kid for a week, why not? I might as well enjoy a night of stupidity and fun."She whispered back as she made it to the crews table where the drinks she hollar for were being set down. She immediately grabbed the bottle of Tequilla and opened it up. She poured it into a shot glass,  she then grabbed Nick's hand and put some salt on the area between his index finger and thumb,and asked "The question is, are you still up for it?" As she took the shot then licked the salt off his hand.

     Nick felt an electrical shock shake down his whole body as her tounge ran across his hand lightly, he had never known how sensitive that part of his body was. Something deep inside the pit of his soul stirred as he watched her bite into the lemon wedge, looking up at him. "I am up for anything, if you are."

     *THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!*

     Gina woke up to the sound of somebody knocking on the hotel room door. She quickly got up to the door before it woke Howie or Juaqin who was asleep in the adjoining room. When she opened the door she looked directly into the barrled chests of two men with cowboy hats on. 'Great, the Andros Brothers!' Rolling her eyes, when she realized who it was, she started to close the door behind her, but when she noticed an unconsious AJ leaned up behind them she stopped.

     "What the fuck happened? Howie would you come out here." Gina lifted up AJ's head and saw a slight bruise on his jaw forming. "Looks like he is going to need some ice."

     Howie came out into the doorway, like Gina did he saw the two men standing there before he noticed AJ. "Jesus Christ, what happened to him? And who the hell are you two?" He demanded.

     Gina held up her hand when Kolas tried to talk, "The blonde one is Kolas and the black haired one is Blake. They are the Andros brothers, Joce's personal set of bodygaurds. Now," She waved off her hand to Kolas, "You can tell us what happened after we get him to his room and you tell us how you found our room."

      "We are assuming that his card for his room is in his pockets." Blake drawled.

      Gina leaned over and searched AJ's pockets for his wallet, "Yeah, yeah, I know and you didn't wanna go grabbin' in some guys pants. Ah, found it. Look, D., We'll get him into the room, can you go and grab him some ice for his face." Howie nodded and walked back in the room for the ice bucket, then went down the hall as the brothers and Gina walked across the hall with AJ and put him on the bed of his room. Gina took off his jacket and his shoes. "Okay, first things first, who knocked him out?"

     Kolas raised his hand with a sheepish grin, "I kinda had a hand in that but he wouldn't stop trying to jump out of the truck. Then he called Joce a puta, so I decided if he was not going to couperate, I'd just knock him out. Don't worry he should be waking up shortly."

     Gina rolled her eyes, "Men, so what happened?"

     This time Blake answered, "We don't know, you are going to have to get your answers from Jocelynn and that other boy. Look, Miss Gina with all due respect, we really do need to get back to the girls. I'll make sure to pass it along to Jocelynn to get ahold of you in the morning. " He tipped his hat as he and Kolas walked out the room as Howie walked in.

     "Ok, so what was that all about?" he asked as he put the ice bucket in the bedtable and placed some ice in a washcloth and rested it on the bruise forming on AJ's right jaw.

     "Well it seems that something went down between AJ, Nick, and Jocelynn. Alex was mouthin' off as the Andros' brought him back here and Kolas knocked him out to shut him up. The fill in the blanks we will have to wait till tomorrow to answer. But I wouldn't worry to much about that bruise on his jaw. Because I have a strange feeling that he is going to get worse once I find out why he called my lil sister a 'puta'. I am going back to bed."

     Howie just shock his head as he looked down at his friend, "What did you do now?"

     Alex slowly opened his eyes and saw D., "Oh thank god, it was just a dream."

     "What was a dream?"

     "Me and Joce kissing, then her in Nick's arms." Then closed his eyes shut, and once again passed out. Howie got up and went to back to his and Gina's room. He knew that things were not going to get better without get worse.
