Funny Feeling (Joey Mac)

Chap 2: Meeting Each Other

         |Kimberly| 

               Ashley and I started talking a few days after the Tommy incident, Jake hadn't told Mom and dad nothing of what happened because they didn't think twice of why the three of us were coming home at the same time. Jake comes home for the weekend from college and sometimes, he never stays in his room. Always out with his girlfriend on dates. Well, we could care less because we don't like her at all and she wasn't right for our brother. Mother never asked him to bring the girl over because of how much she isn't want we want in our family.  Ashley really hates the girl and I don't either, just not as much as my family does.  

School is finally over. Gosh, I hate that place! Time to read my books. My friends are crazy concert-goers and I never enjoy those because I can never enjoy them for some reason, I can't. Anyway, they went to a show last night in our city's arena. I never asked who they went to see and I let them have some fun. 

Today, Ashley and I are going to into the city to the record store and my favorite, the bookstore. We made our way to the bookstore first, Ashley wanted my nerd side over with before the record store. After I gathered ten books for 30 % off, we went to the record store. I didn't notice the large group of girls on the street huddled in front of someone, because I didn't care who it was. Ashley and I walked around the record store for ten minutes, until I bumped into someone's chest and fell to the floor. 

  I look up at these gorgeous eyes of a brown hair boy. 

"Hello." He says, lending his hand to me.

   |Joey|

Joey knew the moment he got up this morning that something was going to change his life today. The guys decided to walk around the town of the city and explore since they had an off day. Joey loves music and would get his hands on any vinyls he could get his hands on. 

He followed the guys around the city for many hours--3 hours. Finally, they took a chance at the record store. Joey was walking down one of the aisles for R&B until someone bumped into his chest. He looks down at the girl, who fell onto the floor and with one look at her, he knew she was someone special. The girl looked at him and she stares into his eyes. Joe lends his hand to girl and says "Hello".  

The girl takes her hand in his, Joey helps her to stand up and they stand there speechless. The boys watching from the other side and Ashley two aisles away from them. 

"Hello." I said again 

"Hello." She responds. 

"What's your name?" 

"Kimberly."

"You have a beauitful name, Kimberly. I'm Joey." 

"I have never seen you around before." She looks at some vinyl. 

"I am only here for the day with some friends, actually." 

I start to walk and she follows me by my side. "I know we just met and all, but it is okay we could hang out a bit?" 

"Uh, yeah. Sure."

Ashley stayed behind with some guys following Joey. We stopped in coffee shop and sat down after we order drinks.

"So, you said you are only for the day. Why is that?" I ask Joey. 

"Well, you shouldn't freak out or anything. But, I--I am in a band."

"You play instruments in this band?" 

"Uh, not really. We are a boy group who sing and dance." He grins. 

"Oh. Who?" I didn't know anything. 

"You never even heard of New Kids on the Block?" I shook my head at his question. "We have been on the mainstream for a while now and we are getting up the charts now."

"My friends went to show last night at the arena. Was that you and your friends?" I look at those other boys at another table. 

"Yeah. So, never heard of New Kids or me. What do you do?" 

"I am a bookworm, a big school nerd, and knows everything about anything." 

"Sounds like my kind of girl." I blushed at his words. "Yeah, I hope its alright if you show me around the town."

"Sure, love too." 

We spent all day together, those boys in his band and my sister who they had realized was behind them. We were walking to the hotel they were staying at, Joey takes my hand in his and kisses it. Then he stares into my eyes and leans closer towards my lips. My first kiss. With a hot guy in a band. 

"Uh..." 

"First kiss?" I nod. "Heres the hotel number and then my house number in Boston." 

"Joey-Joe. Why don't ya bring her on tour with us! It wouldn't hurt. I already talked with Dick and Maurice. They said it's fine." The guy with light brown hair says to Joey. 

"I would have to go tell my mother." 

"Let's go call her." 

We went to their room and I called my mother, of course, she ended up talking to their manager. He nods and ensures her of me and he points to my sister. She's coming too!? Within one day, I met a cute guy, found out he's in a band, leaving tomorrow, and has asked for me to come along. The manager got off the phone and told us that he told my mother of Joey's lonely problem, how I didn't know where who the guys were or Joe, that a few weeks would be good to get to know Joe and the band. As long as Ashley came with me, my mother said it was fine. 

The manager and a driver followed our directions to our house to pick up bags and stuff. Ashley and I ran to our rooms, I packed a lot of books, a lot of clothes, essentials, another pair of shoes.  We walked downstairs, Joey talking with my mother, the manager with my dad and the other boys standing around Joe. Ashley made sure our mother had the right idea for letting us go for few weeks. She said yes and have a good time. We followed their manager and the boys back to the car to the hotel. He gave us a room for the night to stay. It was now 830 and Joey took me down to the courtyard by the pool. 

"This is unbelievable. I can not believe I am going to be away from home a few weeks. I met you for one second and the next second I am coming with you on tour. Why?" 

"Who knows. but I am glad you are coming and I don't have to call you every night. I think you haven't met the guys properly."

"I have been waiting to meet them." 

"Let's go." 

We went to Joey's room and the guys were hanging out. "This is Donnie." He pointed to light brown haired. "This is Danny." A guy with black hair and muscles. "This is Jon." A guy who was a little taller than Danny and Joey. "This is Jordan, Jon's younger brother." A guy who looked like Joe's age. 

"Hiya." They said in union. 

"We met your sister Ashley. Nice Girl." Jon says, smiling. 

"It's nice to meet you all. I know I haven't of you guys until now, but these few weeks I get to know you all better and as a band." 

"You will enjoy staying with us." Jordan laughs with the guys after him. 

(A/N: Help Me! I think i am losing it. I need some help and no plot as of right now. WHo should Ashley be with? Jordan or Danny? Thank you.)
