Chp 23
"Oh, this is so sad," sniffed Staci as she, Elena, and Jen watched Anthony Hopkins being taken away by Brad Pitt at the end of Meet Joe Black. The boys all went to Tampa on business, leaving the girls all to themselves. They decided to bitch, eat ice cream, and watch tear jerking movies at Elena's house that night.
"Yeah, it is. I'm trying really hard not to cry, but it's not working," hiccuped Elena.
"Well, I'm not just talking about the movie. The guys only have two weeks left with us and then they'll be on tour again for another three months. I'll miss my Kevvy so much. He's barely here as it is. Sometimes I get selfish and wish that he had a regular job. Then I feel guilty. This is what he loves and I love it, too, butit's hard."
"I know what you mean. Brian and I haven't even set a date yet," lamented Jen dabbing her tears with a tissue.
"I'm going to miss them all. They're my precious boys. I had them all to myself until you two skanks came along and stole two away from me," Elena teased trying to lighten up the somber mood.
"Well, you still have two left, the epitome of innocence and the archetype of rebellious sexiness. Perfect," remarked Staci as she shoved a spoonful of mint chocolate chip into her mouth.
"Great. I'm stuck with the two blondes."
Jen cocked an eyebrow. "AJ isn't blonde."
"Not today he isn't, but tomorrow, who knows?"
"True."
"I'm loving this. Just us girls doing our thing. We should do this more often, especially when the guys are gone. We could form like a support group or something," suggested Staci.
"That sounds cool. What should out support group be called?" asked Jen.
"Well let's see. The common thing between us is our boys, so it would be logical to call ourselves the Backstreet Girls," stated Elena.
"No, how about the Backstreet Broads?" asked Jen.
"Backstreet Bitches, hehe."
They all laughed. Elena hit Staci's arm. "No! How will we distinguish between Backstreet Boys and Backstreet Broads or Bitches? We'd both be BSB. I still think it should be Backstreet Girls, BSG."
"Yeah, ok. BSG. We are the Backstreet Girls! Alright!"
"Ok now we need nicknames. Let's use the boys' names. You know, like, Staci, you areI don't know, Kevin's Kitten."
"Ok, and you'll be AJ's Angel cuz they're isn't an A slang word for girl. Jen, you be Brian's Bitch. Or Broad. Which one do you prefer?"
"Oh my God, what choices!" Jen laughed.
"We need to get Nick a girlfriend. Then she could be Nick's Nymph. Hahahahaha!"
"We aren't really going to actually use those names, are we?"
"Nah, too many words. We could use them for fun. I can't wait to see the guys' faces when we tell them about our little organization!"
"We need an anthem. How about a parody of one of their songs?" inquired Jen.
"Yeah, but which one?"
Staci, being the clever little devil she was, was the first to come up with a little jingle. "Hey girls! Listen to this!" She cleared her throat and then began to belt out her song. "Jam on cuz da girls got it! Come on now everybody! We've got tits no dicks, hell yeah!"
Jen and Elena burst out laughing. Staci smiled proudly.
"Well I think it's pretty good."
"Just look at us! We're such geeks!" Jen guffawed. Elena rolled on for a good five minutes before she could respond.
"I like reverting back to my goofy teenage years once in a while. It keeps me young."
"I haven't had this much fun since well, since I last screwed Kevin," Staci stated smirking.
"Haha! And when was that? Last night?!"
Staci's smile grew bigger. "No, actually it was this morning. Before they left. God, that boy's got stamina! I guess he was making up for lost time. Hehe, they should go away more often. No wait, scratch that. I wouldn't be getting any that way."
"Staci! You are so horny! God, you definitely surpass AJ's reputation!"
"AJ's really innocent deep down. I, on the other hand, am impure inside and out and damn proud of it!"
"You should be, you're old."
"Look who's talking MISS DILORENZO! I don't see you bumping uglies with anyone!"
"I haven't found the right person yet so shut the hell up!"
Jen glanced at the clock and realized that the guys were supposed to be on Jay Leno that night. "Ah! Guys! The guys are on!"
"Oh yeah! Fuck!" Staci stopped the video and quickly changed the channel to NBC. "I hope we didn't miss them!"
Luckily, they didn't. Jay Leno had just introduced them. Of course, high pitched shrieking soon followed. The boys, all looking great as usual in black trench coats, sat themselves on stools set in the middle of the performance floor and smiled into the camera. Kevin mouthed the words "I love you" and winked.
"I LOVE YOU, TOO, KEVIN!!!" Staci screamed jumping from up her seat and giving both Jen and Elena heart attacks.
"What the hell?! He can't hear you, dumbass!" Elena exclaimed.
"Shut up! Kevin and me have this psychic connection! He did hear me!"
"You need help, woman."
"Oh yeah? Well, you need sex," Staci retaliated.
"Both of you, shut the hell up! They're starting!" scolded Jen. They all turned their attention back to the TV. The introduction to If You Knew What I Knew began.
"It's 7 AM, thinking about you
Wondering if the thoughts I'm feeling
You're feeling, too"
AJ's soulful dark eyes stared intensely into the camera. He expressed each word with such emotion, Elena felt it to the depths of her very soul.
"Like a newborn child
Soft to the touch
Baby, is it possible
To love someone so much"
Nick took over the rest of the verse.
"I wish I may
I wish I might
Be that certain someone
You wish for every night"
He, too, displayed such feeling, but it wasn't the same. It didn't affect Elena the same way. After all, AJ did write the song. He experienced it. There was a whole dramatic story behind the music. You could tell. The pain was still there. The memories were still there. The hope was still there. It was evident in his sad eyes.
"If you knew what I knew
You wouldn't have said what you said
If you knew what I knew
We'd be together instead
Of you breaking my heart
Over things that aren't true
My lady
My lady, yes, my lady
If you knew what I knew
If you knew what I knew, my baby
You would've never have said what you said
If you knew what I knew, my baby
We would be together instead
If you knew what I knew, my baby
You would've never have said what you said
If you knew what I knew, my baby
We would be together instead
Girl, if you knew
Say what you say
If you only knew, my baby
We would be together instead
Girl, if you knew
If you only knew my baby
Love you always"
The song was cut short, but it wasn't over. The guys got up from the stools and walked towards the front of the stage. Meanwhile, dancers ran onto the stage, put the stools away in a corner, and aligned themselves behind the boys. The first few beats of Dangerous Obsession could be heard. AJ, Kevin, Brian, and Nick stripped off their coats to reveal blood red velvet shirts and leather pants. Kevin and AJ didn't have their shirts buttoned all the way exposing their sexy, muscular chests. The fans' screams rose to decibels harmful to the human ear. Elena, Jen, and Staci were no exception.
"Oh my friggin' gawd! It has to be illegal to look THAT fine!" exclaimed Jen.
"Aaaahhhhhh! Oh gawd, I wanna screw Kevin! Oh yes! If you don't hold me back, I'm going to pull an AJ and start humping the TV!" Staci declared loudly.
Elena was speechless. The boys always looked good, but this time, they had really outdone themselves. Especially AJ. His highlighted dark brown hair and black shades brought out such sexiness. She'd surely be struck by lightning if she blurted out the lewd thoughts running through her over imaginative mind.
The guys sang beautifully and with attitude, throwing a seductive glance into the camera periodically. It was driving the audience crazy! Not to mention, Staci. Elena and Jen had to restrain her from molesting the television. This song was abridged as well to make time for the awesome dance sequence taking place near the end. The moves were flawless and perfectly in sync. Every pop-lock, every gyration, every pelvic thrust was right on the beat. Jen, Elena, and Staci hooted and giggled with delight. The boys never ceased to amaze them. This was their best television performance of that year so far. Following their act came a short interview. Leno asked them the same boring questions every fan already knew. It annoyed Staci to no end.
"Ugh! How many times are we going to have to hear how this album differs from their last one! Like we give a crap!" Staci complained rolling her eyes. "I could repeat their every word, I've heard it so much! Jeez, I should interview them! I'd ask some pretty interesting questions!"
"Yeah, you'd ask Kevin if he'd like it doggie style or 69 that night!" quipped Elena bursting into laughter.
"Nah, I'm an old fashioned girl. I prefer it the standard way, front way, right away," Staci responded smirking.
It just made Elena and Jen laugh harder than they already were. Just then, the ring of the doorbell echoed throughout the house interrupting their fun.
"Who the fuck is ringing my doorbell at this ungodly hour?!" Elena exclaimed before getting up from the couch and trudging towards her front door.
"Be careful, Elena," Staci admonished.
Heeding Staci's warning, Elena proceeded cautiously in opening the door. Her eyes widened and her pulse quickened.
"Hi, Elena."
Elena felt her blood pressure rise and anger overcome her. Her eyes narrowed and she stared at him coldly. "What the hell do you think you are doing?!"
Nathan recoiled. "Elena, let me explain---"
"I don't ever want to see, talk, or hear from you again! I cannot believe you have the nerve to some to my house at this time of the night! What the hell is going through that fuckin' head of yours?! What part of go away, I hate you, don't you understand?!"
He winced at her harsh words and virulent tone of voice. Never in his life had he witnessed her so full of rage. Winning back her trust was going to take some ingenuity. But he was willing to do whatever it took to get her back. Whatever it took. "Elena, please---"
Alarmed at the yelling, Staci went to investigate while Jen stayed behind unsure and frightened. When Staci saw who was at the door, her apprehensiveness was replaced with the utmost fury. She pushed passed Elena and shoved Nathan down to the floor. Sitting on his ass, he looked up at Staci in shock.
"Get out you fuckin' psycho! If you ever come near her again, we will get a restraining order against you! You hear me?! I ain't bluffing! You do NOT want to risk your sorry ass! You mess with my home girl, you get beat down! Goodnight, I hope the bed bugs chew your fuckin' dick off!" And with that, she entered the house and slammed the door shut, leaving Nathan on the cold ground to figure out what exactly had just happened.
