Chapter 55
Nick did the best he could to hide his face from the fans and for the most part he did pretty well.
Christin’s and Amanda’s room was right next to Nick and Brian’s room and Howie’s and Kevin’s room while AJ Had a room to himself.
“You would think that we have enough money for our own rooms but no…we are stuck sharing rooms.” Nick complained.
“Yeah, but they wanted to save money and besides this is like one of the best hotel’s in Seattle and it was kinda booked except for these rooms right here.” Christin replied.
“Oh.” Nick said. They were in Christin’s room. “Where is that thingy to take this crap off my face? I can’t believe you did this to me.” He whined.
Christin reached into her bag and pulled out a tub of Noxzema. “Here you go.” She handed it to Nick. “Nick you do know that you are a whiner?”
“I’m NOT.” He protested.
“Are so.” She continued.
“I’m NOT.” He continued to object.
“Whatever. I’m going to go check on Amanda. You know how to use that right?”
“Smart ass.” He mumbled as she walked out of the bathroom.
“Did you have fun giving Nick a makeover?” Amanda asked laughing.
“Of course.” Christin looked around the room and began to mess with things. “T.V. Nice. Beds, nice. Lots of closet room. Oh. Stereo. Oh yeah.” She grabbed a CD out of her bag and placed it in the CD player. “Oh wait. It’s time for TRL. Carson Daly at his finest.” She turned the TV on and started to flip channels until she saw Carson Daly’s face. Then she flopped down on the bed. “You know I really don’t see what the big deal about her is. I mean Britney Spears. Look at her.” She pointed to the screen where Lucky was playing at number 5.
“That was Britney Spears,” Carson’s face reappeared on the screen, “With Lucky at number five.”
“Damn is it just me or is Carson continually getting hotter and hotter. I mean every time I see him he is looking so incredibly damn fine.” Christin sighed. (AN: Carson is hott is he not! :-D cheesy grin)
“Trust me it is just you.” Amanda laughed. “Now ssh so I can hear what he is saying.”
Carson rambled on a little bit longer about Britney and upcoming things for her. Then began to introduce the number four video. “And the totals for the number four video. Thirteen percent of your emails and twelve percent of your phone calls leaving Backstreet Boys at number four with ‘The One.’”
The screen flashed to the video. “I’ll be the one…”
“Have you ever seen this video? This is awesome the way that it is done. Probably the easiest video ever made. Watch it.” Christin told Amanda, who just continued to watch the video.
“No, no, no.” Nick walked out of the bathroom. “Don’t I have to…”
“SHUSH!!” Amanda shushed him.
“Knock-knock.” Howie walked in the open door. “Do you always leave your door open Christin? Anyways, Nick you are wanted in AJ’s room. We are having a group pow wow.”
“Okay. Be there in a second.” Nick finished taking the last of the make-up off and walked back into the bathroom to wash his face.
IN KEVIN’S AND HOWIE’S ROOM
“Man I can’t believe you didn’t tell me you invited her. You know what’s happened. What were you thinking?” AJ yelled softly thinking Christin in the next room over.
Kevin felt bad now that he thought about it more. “I know AJ. I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking clearly when I invited her. She was just so broken when I invited her. She was stressed about her job and her problems with you. I think this vacation is exactly what she needs to escape all the pressures and stress of her job. She needs to relax, maybe even lighten up a little. You know. Have some fun.” Kevin explained calmly.
“She is actually stressed about us? Her and me?” AJ asked worried.
“More than you’ll ever know.” Kevin replied honestly. “And more than she’ll ever admit.”
“Kev,” AJ sat on the bed. “I don’t know where to go from here. She’s admitted that she has feelings for me but refuses to act on those feelings or do something about them. Do you maybe know why she won’t act on those feelings, Kevin?”
“I can’t tell you honestly why but I just think that she is scared. She as never truly been in love and she knows that. She really hasn’t even been in a very serious relationship before. Maybe you should just keep pushing the whole relationship thing until she cracks if she has already admitting to loving you.” Kevin advised.
“You’re right. I should and that’s exactly what I am going to do.” AJ jumped up.
“Okay. Glad I could help, but right now we have a meeting in your room.” Kevin started walking towards the door.
“Yeah. Right. I forgot about that.” They walked out of the room into the hallway where Nick and Howie were coming out of Christin and Amanda’s room.
“Wassup D, Nick or should I say Nikki?” AJ asked jokily.
“Man shut-up. I still can’t believe Brian got Christin to turn on me. She just used to be so sweet. But now she is just plain evil.” Nick remarked.
Brian walked out of his room and noticed everyone gathered in the hall and walked up to them. “I thought that the meeting was in AJ’s room, not in the hallway.”
“It is. But since we are all here can we discuss it right here? It’ll will take what? A few minutes?” Nick asked.
“Yeah.” Kevin answered. “So here is the deal. Tomorrow we leave from the hotel at seven. Yes seven. There will probably be fans, so… After we leave we have a short photo shoot and a quick interview. Then we’ll meet some of the kids from the charity home we are doing this for and present them with a check and then we have do a sound check and rehearsal. Then, the concert starts at six. It’ll not be like concerts we usually perform for. It’ll only be about ten thousand fans. It will be a little bit more intimate. The next day is ours to do whatever we want with it.” Kevin explained.
“Cool.”
The door to Christin’s room opened and there stood Christin. “Um…Hello, Hi, Hey. Reason for standing outside my door would be…?”
“We just love you so much.” Kevin smiled.
“Yeah ok. You can come in if you want.” She pushed the door open so they could come in.
“Well I think I just might take you up on that oh so welcoming invitation.” Brian walked in and so did the rest of the guys. Christin walked out.
“Where ya going?” Kevin grabbed her arm gently.
“You think I would go all the way to the door and open it for you. Don’t think so. I was going to go and look around and see what Seattle’s finest has to offer. And you can’t come cause I don’t want some big ass bodyguard following us around ad you so easily getting spotted and getting us mobbed. Okay? Okay.” She brushed his hand off and walked away leaving Kevin there bewildered.
