CHAPTER 2

Minda got home and walked up to her apartment and went inside. She settled her things down and sat on the couch and decided to call her best friend Shayna to tell her the good news.

"hello?" an 18 year old girl on the other line of the phone said

"hey girl wuss up?!!!" minda said very excitedly "are you on somethin? cuz you sound way to hyper!!" "no i'm not on something i'm just really happy!!" "why?" "cuz i just got my dream job!!!"

Minda hung up the phone and called her parents back in california

'hi you've reached the greenbergs we're not home right now but if you leave a message we'll get back to you as soon as possible thanks bye bye'

"hi mom hi dad it's Minda i'm calling to tell you i got a new job so call me back luv you bye" the 20 year old said as she hung up the phone

Minda decided to go over to her boyfriend's house and surprise him. She got in the car and drove over to his house. She got out and went up to the door and knocked on it. Jack opened the door.

"hey baby what are you doin' here?" "I just thought i'd come and see you and tell you about my new job!!" "You got a new job that's great!!" he said and gave her a hug and pulled her inside. "So what's your job about?" "I'm now part of transcon records where the backstreet boys work and i'm gonna be going on tour with a new group called nsync" "why are you going on tour with them?" "because i'm in charge of making them a web page and all the computer stuff" "you're not going to be in the same bus as these guys are you?" "I might be i don't know yet.. why, does it matter?" "well baby these are guys you'll be with right?" "yeah" "i'm sure it's more than one and you'll be with them every moment and i don't think it's right that you sleep in the same place as them" "Jack are you trying to say you don't trust me?" "I trust you it's just..." "It's just what?" "It's just I don't trust.... them" "Don't worry i'll be fine i can handle myself and plus even if they made a move on me it wouldn't mean anything... to me atleast" "I know I know i trust you. Now give me a kiss of trust" "ok" minda leaned over and gave her boyfriend a loving passionate kiss of trust.

"Well i'm sorry to end this wonderful moment but i have to go home to see if my parents callled back" "why don't i come over to your place a little later and we can go out or something? we haven't had a date in awhile" her boyfirend looked at her with the most adorable face on and she couldn't resist

"Oh ok i'll see you later bye" Minda gave her boyfriend one last kiss and a hug and then got in her car and drove off

°She's not going anywhere with those guys if i can help it° jack thought then went back to his house

When Minda got back to her apartment she had 3 new messages

'Message one' beep

"Hi minda it's me janine shayna said you called so call me back k? bye"

'Message two' beep

"Hi Minda it's your mom just calling you back so call me when you get in"

'Message three' beep

"Hello, Minda this is Lou i just wanted to tell you that i changed the time tomorrow to 9:00 instead of 9:30 see you tomorrow"

Minda sat down on her couch and picked up the phone and dialed janine's phone number

"hello?" "hey shayna can i talk to janine?" "yeah hold up" "k"

"OH MY GOD MINDA I CAN'T BELIVE YOU GOT THE JOB AND YOU'RE TOURING WITH NSYNC AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!" a loud high pitched voice rang into the phone "I take it you know who these guys are?" "yep i sure do they are so incredibly hot!!!!" "How do you know them?" "i've seen their video and heard their song and bought their single!!!!" "ok janine calm down" "i can't calm down you have to introduce me to them!!!!!!" "ok i will as soon as i can but can you drop off their single right now? so i can hear what they sound like?" "yeah i'll be right over k? bye" "bye"

About ten minutes later Janine dropped off the cd and left. Before janine came over Minda called her parents back and they were really happy for her. After janine left Minda called jack and told him to come over. When she got off the phone with jack she went into her room to find something to wear and decided to wear a short slinky black dress she wasn't sure where he was going to take her but he told her to wear something nice. While she was getting ready Minda was listening to the nsync single, she found the music extremely catchy. She was dancing around her room when she heard her doorbell ring, she opened the door and found jack looking at her with a red rose in his hand. He leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"You look beautiful!!" "thank you, so where are we going?" Minda asked as she took the rose and put it in a class of water. "It's surprise" he said with a sly smile. "Oh it is, is it? let's just see how surprising you can be!!" "Ok then let's go"
