The Zone

III

Abel:      

Its pretty obvious that Jhene & Aubrey still has mad feelings for each other. It's quite sick actually. The three of us riding on the tour bus on the way to the arena is just way too damn awkward.

"Sooooo." I say breaking the silence. As always Jhene glances over at Brey. Brey catches her & she looks away as if she wasn't. That shit is getting annoying. "Jhene! Hows life?" She does a hard swallow before answering my question.

                                                 

"Uhh, well my life is great. What about you?" I do fake yawn & stretch. "Depressing." I say with a smirk.

I feel like a third wheel. I feel like I need to roll my ass the fuck on. I can't go through this shit for three months. I have to come up with a plan to get them together.

Jhene:

Aubrey has been staring at me throughout the majority of the drive to the arena. I'm enjoying his little flirting game, but its also annoying.

"Jhene can I talk to you?" He finally says something. He stands up & head towards the back to his bed. Oh God.

I stand up to follow him. "Yeah I'll be fine right here. By myself." Abel says jokingly. I just chuckle & shake my head.

"Take a seat." He says pointing to an empty spot on my bed. "Okay look, I know we haven't rehearsed together nor have I asked you to perform with me, but I want to do a couple throw back songs. I think your voice would be perfect for the females part ya know?"

I bite my bottom lip. The impossible always happen on stage with Aubrey. No matter who he's on stage with, something always surprises the crowd.

"Which songs?" He pulls out his laptop & comes to sit closer to me so I can see the screen. My God his scent is love right now. I'm supposed to be looking at the screen but I can't help but look at his face. "Jhene, your supposed to look at the screen. Not me." He says while clicking things on his computer. Fuck he caught me.

July fills the speakers through his computer. "Of course I can sing July. I  know those lyrics. But what about the  other songs?" He sighs & rubs his eyes.

"Little Bit." I look up at the ceiling in hopes that a reminder of the song would suddenly appear. "How does that one go again?" He takes a deep breath & starts the song, skipping the intro & going straight to it.

" I guess that I'm a little bit,

                                      

A little bit.

                       

A little bit in love. With you."

Aubrey;

Hopefully Jhene doesn't think this is awkward & says no. I know that it's short notice but hopefully she'll pull through. She begins to sing along with the song. "Is that a yes?" She nods while continuing to sing. I smile & join in.

"I guess that I'm a little bit in love with you."

And with that our eyes passionately connect.

Again, I'm starting it off slowly. but the next chapter should call for it to get better.
