Shopping with AJ was a totally different experience for me.
He knew exactly where to go even though he's only been in town for 3 days.
"So, what do you want to buy?", AJ asked.
"I don't know. Brian just told me to go shopping because he was doing something tonight."
"Hmmmmm, why don't we go to this place and get you a dress for tonight?"
"Sure. I don't see why not."
So went to a store on the corner that I've never seen before.
"Hello. How may I help you?"
"Hmmmmm. I know how you can help me!", AJ said out loud.
The women giggled and turned to me.
"What would you like, miss?"
"Ummmmmmm."
"I turned to AJ for help, since he seemed to be the king of shopping.
"We want an evening dinner dress. Simple but elegant."
"Sure. Just a moment please."
She came back with the most beautiful dresses I've ever seen in my whole life.
"I really like that black one.", Aj said, pointing at a short black dress.
"Me too. But I think I like the blue on better.", I said pointing at the short blue dress with glitter on it.
"Why don't you try it on, miss?"
"Okay."
I was led down a long corridor and came to a room.
"Here we go. Try it on. I'm sure it will look fabulous, miss."
"Thank you."
I put on the dress very carefully so that I hopefully wouldn't break it. I glanced at the price tag which read $450.00.
Whoa!!! That's a little past my budget.
I tried it on anyway and I had to say that I looked good. (A.N. No, she's not conceited.)
I stepped out of the room and walked down the long corridor and found AJ talking to some girl. Guys!
"AJ, how do I look?"
"Wow! Girl you're gonna knock Brian off his feet! I don't care what you say. You are going to buy that dress."
I motioned for him to come over to me.
"I can't. It's $450. I'm not that rich.", I whispered in his ear.
"No problem. I'll pay."
"AJ, no you can't. I couldn't-"
"I said it was no problem."
"But-"
"Come on. It's no big deal. I'm a backstreet boy remember?", he said quietly.
"I can't. It's not fair. I'll pay ou back. I promise."
"You know you don't have to. Now go change back and let's find you some shoes. We also have to do your hair."
"Okay. Thank you SOOO much, AJ"
I changed and came back.
"Here."
"Okay, that's $467.99."
"Here you go."
He handed her his card.
"Oh my GOD!!! You're AJ McLean???? From the Backstreet Boys!!!! I'm such a huge fan."
"Oh no!"
He signed really quickly and grabbed the dress.
"Come on. Let's get out of here!!!!"
Just then there were shouts and screams as fans cam rushing out of nowhere.
"RUUUUUNNNNNNN!!!!!!"
We ran everywhere and finally lost them. We walked back to the hotel and bursted into his hotel room, breathless.
"Hey guys. What happened?", Nick asked.
"We.... were..... just mobbed by..... fans."
"Hahahahahahaha!!!!! I should have been there. NOT!!!", he burst out laughing.
"Man, shut up!"
I took a nearby pillow and hit him square in the face.
"Hahahaha-- HEY!!!! I'm gonna get you for that!"
Right then and there there was a huge pillow fight. All the other Backstreet Boys joined in.... all except Brian.
