.Chapter.Twenty-Five.

"Oh my God! I can't believe we met 5ive!!" Jenn exclaimed.

"I know, that was so awesome!" Bj said. "Although I think Nick is jealous of Scott now."

"Why do you say that?" Mickey asked her.

"Oh I don't know, maybe the fact that you were totally speechless when you saw him."

"Come on now, it wasn't that bad."

"He's gonna make sure that you only have eyes for him."

"I do only have eyes for him. He still likes pretty actresses and stuff. Plus it's not like I drooled over him like Jo did Rich."

"I did not drool! Close, but I managed to contain myself." Jo smiled.

The girls were all sitting in BJ's hotel room in France. They met 5ive when they were in England and haven't been able to stop talking about it since. The Backstreet Boys couldn't see the big deal, and they all got a little jealous. Brian was poutting saying that the girls never got excited like that when they met the Boys. The girls explained that they freaked out when the guys weren't around, this seemed to please them a bit.

"I'm kind of nervous about this trip to Paris." Jenn confessed.

"Why?" Laura asked her.

"I don't know. It's just going to be really special and I've never had anything like that."

"Are you scared about sex?"

"Hell no! I might be a virgin but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of sex."

"She's scared." Laura, BJ, Jo and Mickey said at the same time.

"I am not! He's just so great."

"Then why are you nervous?" Jo asked.

"I don't know. Aren't you guys nervous? I mean you don't know what to expect. Mick, you must be nervous, or at least curious. It's Paris, the guys are planning something and you and Nick haven't done it yet."

"What does sex have to do with a special moment?" Mickey said, trying to avoid the topic.

"You haven't slept with Nick yet?!" Laura exclaimed.

"Well sure, we've slept together. But...no, we haven't had sex yet. But that's ok. I don't need sex."

"So, you're saying you don't think of it?" Jenn asked her.

"I didn't say that." Mickey said looking at her with a smile. "I just don't plan it out in my mind. If it happens, it happens."

"You know it's going to. I'm suprised it hasn't already." BJ said as a knock came to the door. It was Danny coming to pick up Jenn.

"Hey, are you ready?"

"Ready? I don't know yet. I don't have to think about it right now do I?" Jenn stammered.

"I meant to go. If you don't know then we can go out later." He said cautiously. The other girls laughed as Jenn turned bright red. Her mind was still on the topic of sex. She got up and told Danny that she was ready to go. Within minutes the other guys had come to pick up their girls. Howie and Kevin were already with Chrissy and Fatima, they decided to get an early start on things.

AJ brought Laura to the funky part of town. They watched as local artists painted and made jewllery. He held her close to him every step of the way. They stopped at one vendor who was making glass ornaments. He handed Laura one that he just finished making. She looked at it, read the inscription and then turned toward AJ as tears fell. It said 'Alex loves Laura, forever'. She threw her arms around AJ and kept kissing him. She was so happy and she loved him so much. They stayed even closer together for the rest of the day. He took her to a small Bistro for supper and then they went dancing for a few hours. They were giggling like little kids when they got back to the hotel room. He brought her close to him and softly kissed her. He then raised his hands to her head and whispered 'Alex loves Laura, forever' into her ear.

Brian took Jo to the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa and the other stuff the famous museum had to offer. Jo was so happy, she loved art and learning things. Brian stepped back and smiled, she had the same smile on her face that he first saw when she was in Virginia. He wanted to make her smile like that for a long time. He went up to her and gave her a big hug, he wanted to be as close to her excitement as he could get. After they walked around the Louvre for a few hours they stepped out and walked around Paris for a bit. There was this big fountain that Brian loved to go to everytime he was in Paris so he brought her to see that. They decided to order supper in so they went back to the hotel. After they finished eating they curled up on the bed and talked for a few hours before she turned and looked him in the eyes. She told him that she's falling in love with him and it scares her. He pulled her close to him and told her not to worry, he'd catch her.

Danny blindfolded Jenn and brought her to the Eiffel Tower. When he removed the blindfold she just looked up in awe. She had never seen the Eiffel Tower before and she loved it. She was used to seeing the CN Tower but this one was so much more famous. He bought her flowers from a vendor and took her into his arms. When they came across a quartet playing a ballad he took her in his arms again and started dancing with her. She threw her head back and laughed, she wasn't usually one to dance in the middle of the street. He took her hand and brought her into a small theatre. The stage was covered with candles and in the middle was a table with two place settings. He brought her up to the stage and pulled out her chair for her. They had fine, French cuisine for supper and then took a moonlit walk. When they arrived at the hotel he dropped her off at her room. As he was walking away he stopped and turned to look at her. He told her not to feel pressured around him, he wasn't going anywhere.

Nick walked into BJ's room and stopped in front of Mickey. It was just the two of them now. He told her that for the life of him he couldn't think of anything really speacial for them to do. He wanted to do something different from everyone else and the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Art District, romantic dinner thing had all been taken. He put his hand on her face and told her that he could be in an empty room with her and it would be special to him. He didn't need anything but her. She looked at him and kissed him. They ended up going to eat in the hotel restaurant but both of them were happy. The talked and talked and laughed throughout the meal. After they ate they headed up to Nick's room. They were talking about dreams and Nick went and sat down on the edge of the bed. Mickey walked up to him and he put his arms around her. She looked down at his sweet face and placed both of her hands on either side of it. She bent down and slowly kissed him. The kisses got longer and more passionate. He looked up at her and then started to unzip her shirt. He kissed her stomach and then stood up. They slowly took each others clothes off and crawled into bed. He was very gentle in making love to her. After they finished making love they continued to hold each other. Mickey was the happiest she had ever been in her life.
