*What are you doing baby?* AJ asked holding her hand and she smiled and pulled him up. He stared at her face for a while, which was a few inches lower then his, and then she turned around and led him into his bedroom. AJ smiled and kissed her, pushing her back on the bed. They undressed each other rather quickly and then AJ spent a long time caressing her body and kissing her all over. He leaned over and took a condom out of the drawer beside his bed, handing it to Meg so she could put it on for him. He shut his eyes and let a small moan escape his lips as she rolled it over his length. AJ moved his face to hers as he hovered over her, kissing her sweetly for a few minutes.

*You're beautiful.* AJ whispered as he entered her and Meg moaned, closing her eyes and pushing her head back into the pillow. AJ picked up his pace and went faster, harder, and deeper until Meg was practically screaming but she told him to keep going. AJ moaned her name as he came and she came soon after, breathing heavily. They laid together for a while and then Meg started getting dressed.

*You're not gonna stay?* AJ asked and Meg smiled at him, putting on her shoes.

*No I have to go home... maybe some other time.* Meg said walking over to his dresser. *Oh, these yours?* Meg asked turning around with a pair of red lace panties dangling from her fingers, knowing they weren't hers.

*Meagan... it's not what you think.* AJ said putting some boxers on quickly.

*No, I thought we were going somewhere but I was wrong.* She said throwing them on the floor with a frustrated face and walking out. AJ struggled and tripped over his pants and then followed her out to the living room.

*Baby,*

*Don't worry about it AJ. It's my fault. I assumed wrong, that's all.* She said putting her jacket on.

*No, I love you!!* AJ yelled and Meg stopped underneath the open door and looked at him. She stared at him for a moment in disbelief and then walked out and jumped in a cab.

*I can't believe he just said that to me.* Meg said out loud to herself and the cab driver looked at her strangely but she just ignored him.

Meg

*He's just some retarded superstar who likes to play with girls' minds.* Meg said to her friends a couple nights later.

*He's a loser, forget him.* Alyssa said as they were all on the bed, watching TV.

*Plus, he stalked you.* Tasha added and they all laughed.

AJ

*Dude I have to get her back.* AJ said desperately to one of his band mates, Nick.

*AJ, you barely knew her. It can't be that big of a loss.* Nick said, talking with his hands, and seeing something weird in his friend's eyes.

*No but it was and I did know her and I need her back.* AJ said raising his voice and clenching his teeth and Nick backed off after that, telling him he could do whatever he wanted. It had been about a week and half since Meg had left AJ's house and she hadn't seen him in the bakery, which she was grateful for. But she thought too soon.

*Hey Barry,* Meg said walking into the bakery and right past AJ. She had seen him from the window outside and she wanted to go in and out as fast as she could without talking to him.

*Hi, the usual?* Barry asked her from behind the counter and Meg nodded with a smile. She turned her head slowly and her eyes met with AJ's for a split second. She tried to pretend she hadn't seen him and turned her face quickly but it was too late, he was already standing up.

*Hey,* AJ said in his sexy voice and Meg didn't look up at him from her stool but he knew she heard him.

*You know, it's freaky that you sit there all the time.* Meg said with her eyes on the table still.

*I missed you.* AJ said and Meg looked up at him finally.

*AJ, I really think you should just give this up.* Meg said smiling at Barry as he handed her her order. She walked out and was followed by AJ, close behind her. *I'm not one of those girls. I like relationships with men I can trust,* Meg said over the large crowd as she walked towards the library. *And I don't trust you.* She finished simply as she stopped to look at him.

*Meagan,* AJ said grabbing her arm to get her attention again and she looked at him surprised. *Please, that was an accident.* He said sincerely.

*Let go of me and leave me alone.* Meg said yanking her arm away from his hand and walking quickly towards the library.

*You're gonna be sorry for not taking me back.* AJ mumbled to himself as he watched her back. About a week later AJ went to the library to see Meg.

*Oh my god, he's started to freak me out.* Alyssa said and Meg looked over to see AJ walking up the stairs. She started walking towards him angrily.

*What are you doing here AJ?* Meg started, standing in front of him.

*I can't let you go as easily as you let me go.* AJ admitted taking her hand but she pulled it away.

*Wow... I'm not even gonna have to conversation with you.* Meg said putting her hands on the sides of her head and closing her eyes. *You're really starting to freak me out and if you don't leave right now I swear... I'll have a restraining order put on you.* Meg threatened. She knew she wouldn't really, she didn't have enough guts, but she just wanted him to leave her alone.

*I'm not leaving without you.* AJ said and Meg lifted her head to look at him.

*AJ get the fuck away from me.* Meg said loudly and everyone looked up at them. She stared at him for a minute and then he gave in and turned around, walking away. *Jesus Christ.* She whispered as she sat in the closest chair and ran a hand through her hair. She was all shaky and she was really scared.

Meg was on a date and AJ had followed her. He had been following her a lot and especially on dates, but he hadn't been bothering her because he respected her. He watched Meg and her date smiling and talking over dinner from his car through the windows of the restaurant. She had already been on three dates with this man and AJ was starting to get nervous. She couldn't fall for this man... she was already in love with AJ, she just didn't know it yet. AJ was waiting at Meg's apartment for them to come back. He followed the man back to his apartment after he dropped Meg off.

A Couple Days Later

Meg's phone rang early one morning and Alyssa answered it because Meg was eating breakfast. She handed it to Meg and Meg finished chewing her cereal and put the phone to her ear. Alyssa watched as Meg's smile faded and her spoon fell to the table. She thanked the person on the other end with no emotion and gently put the portable phone on the table.

*He's... dead.* Meg said calmly and Alyssa looked at her.

*Who?* She asked walking over to Meg. She saw that Meg was looking pale and started shaking.

*Oscar, that guy I was dating... he was murdered.* Meg explained slowly as she looked at the floor and leaned on Alyssa.

*Oh my god...* Alyssa said taking Meg into her arms. *By who?* She asked, letting her curiosity get the better of her.

*They don't know.* Meg admitted as she let the tears fall down her face and on to Alyssa's shoulder.
