Chapter Seven

‘ What did you buy?’ I asked Nick, trying to look inside his Duty Free bag.

‘ Get out of there!’ He said and pushed my head away.

‘ What did you buy?’ Brian asked me.

I pulled out a big bottle of Ckone perfume for my mum.

He looked at the bottle.‘ Is that it?’

I nodded. ‘ Why, what did you get?’

He opened his bag and pulled out bottle of Sarafi aftershave, an album by Shai, a book about the S.A.S and a magazine.

‘ I got more then that!’ Nick laughted and opened his bag. He empted his bag onto the floor by us. ‘ Told ya so!’ We looked at his items. Which where:

Bottle of Obsession aftershave, a Calvin Klien jumper, Calvin Klien boxer shorts, three magazine’s, Usher’s album, Boyz II Men single, New Spice Girls album, and the new single by Nataile Imbruglia.

‘ Wow.’ Brian and I said at the same time. We all laughted.

‘ Nick, pick your things up! We’re going now!’ Denise panicked. We all quickly helped Nick put his things away and walked to the aeroplane. ‘ We get to have our own private plane?’ I gasped. Everyone laughted as though I said it as a joke, which I hadn’t.

We climbed onto the aeroplane. AJ sat at the front on his own, Kevin sat with his body guard, Howie with his sister,Pollyanna, Nick and Brian raced to the end of the plane and grabbed the three back seats.

‘ Hello.’ Kevin said when I walked past him. He held out his hand. ‘ I’m Kevin. You must be the famous Kate.’

I smiled and shook his hand. ‘ Yep, I’m Kate.’

Howie jumped up and held out his hand. ‘ Howie.’ I shock his hand. ‘ I’m Kate.’

‘ Where you sitting Kate?’ Andrez asked.

I shook my head. ‘ I have no idea. I’m on my own.’

Andrez sat down. ‘ Come sit with me.’ He patted the empty seat by him. I smiled and sat down by him.

‘ So, what do you do?’ I question.

‘ I’m Nick’s bodyguard.’ He answered.

Brian raced up to me. ‘ Why aren’t you sitting with us?’ He asked, pretending to look upset.

‘ I thought you where with Nick?’ Andrez answered for me.

He nodded. ‘ I am. But we have an empty seat. Please come!’ He whined.

‘ No, spend some time with Nick.’ I pointed to where he was sitting. ‘ Go!’

He pretend to cry. ‘ Fine!’ He banged his foot and walked off.

Andrez laugted his deep laugh. ‘ That mans a clown!’

I smiled as Andrez had the worst laugh. It was such a funny laugh that I it made me laugh.

Andrez stopped laughting. ‘ What?’

I stopped as well. ‘ It’s your laugh.’

He smiled. ‘ Buckle up.’ He said and buckled his seat belt across his waist. I did the same and waited for take off. The plane slowing took off causing my ears to pop.

‘ Did your ears pop?’ Andrez asked while unbuckling his belt. I nodded while sticking my finger in my ear.

‘ My ear kills now.’ I mumbled to myself. I unbuckled my belt and leaned my chair back.

‘ Watch it!’ Someone cried from behind. I looked round and saw a girl with brown hair around Brian’s age.

‘ Sorry.’ I held out my hand. ‘ I’m Kate.’

She smiled and shook my hand. ‘ Marisa.’ She looked at me. ‘ If you don’t mind me asking, but, who are you?’

‘ I’m Kate, Brian’s girlfriend.’ I smiled to myself, thinking how nice it was to say that I was Bri’s girlfriend.

Marisa nodded. ‘ Good. It’s about time he had a girlfriend.’

‘ If you don’t mind me asking, who are you?’

‘ I’m AJ’s girlfriend.’ My smile fadded.

‘ What’s wrong?’ She asked.

‘ Nothing.’ I turned back round.

‘ Just met Marisa did you?’ He asked.

I nodded. ‘ I thought AJ wasn’t going out with that Marisa girl?’

‘ Oh he was. For 5ive years almost.’

I opened the fold out table and layed my head on it.

‘ Tired?’

I closed my eyes and yawned. ‘ Yeah, I guess I am.’

****************************************

‘ Kate, wake up. We’re here.’ Andrez whispered into my ear. I slowly opened my eyes.

‘ Where am I?’ I asked, still in a dream.

‘ Your on a plane which is about to land in Germany.’

I rubbed my eyes. ‘ I forgot.'

‘ Seat belt on.’ He reminded me.

The plane touched down.

‘ Oh my god! Look at the fans!’ AJ called. He was looking out the window and could see all the German fans in the airport.

I looked out. ‘ Wow, there’s tons!’

Andrez nodded. ‘ There was more then that in France.’ He told me.

Could you get any more? I thought to myself as I looked at all the thousands of fans.

‘ Hey girl.’ Brian said and kissed me on the forehead.

‘ Oh hey Brian.’ I smiled and rubbed my eyes again.

Marisa stood up and cuddled Brian.‘ Hey Brian.’

Brian kissed her on the cheek. ‘ Long time, no see.’ He told her. She smiled and pushed her way over to AJ.

‘ So,’ Brian said while sitting himself on my arm rest. ‘ How was the flight?’

I yawned. ‘ I slept most the way.’

‘ Brian, sit back down! And you Marissa!’ Lonnie, AJ’s body guard, commanded.

‘ Yes sir!’ Brian mocked and grabbed my hand. ‘ Come sit with us.’

I walked down to the end of the plane. Nick was laying across the three seats, walkman on, eyes closed, magazines, bags and drinks surrounding him. ‘ What a tip.’ I said, while picking up a pile sweet wrapers to sit down.

‘ Hey, this is home!’ Brian joked and plopped down by me. Brian shoved Nick. He jumoed and opened his eyes.

‘ Were here.’ Brian told him. Nick smiled and rubbed his eyes. His hair was a totally mess. One side of hair was stuck to his face were he had been sleeping, the other side had stayed the same. Dark circles had formed under his eyes. He was qutie flushed in the face and took off his Tommy jumper to reveal a black Oasis t shirt. ‘ Want a hairbrush?’ I offered him, pulling out Brian’s from his bag on the floor.

‘ Thanks.’ Nick mumbled and brushed his hair. He handed it back to me and walked off to find the toilet.

‘ Where’s Nick?’ Andrez asked.

‘ Toilet.’ I told him. Andrez nodded and picked up Nick’s bags for him. ‘ You two kids make your way down to the front of the plane.’

We stood up and walked down to the front. Howie jumped up and grabbed my hand and pulled me towards a big circle that everyone has formed at the front of the plane. Everyone, including me, bowed our heads as Randy, head of security, recited a brief prayer. Then we all reached our right arms into the centre of the ring, hands touching. ‘ BACKSTREET!’ We all shouted before breaking into cheers.

‘ Are we ready?!’ Randy cries.

‘ YEAH!’ We all scream back.

‘ It’s the Backstreet chant,’ He explained. ‘ We do it before we go on stage, or what we do whenever. It’s for good luck.’

I smiled and tryed to find Brian but he had already walked off the plane with Nick.

‘ Can I walk with you?’ Kevin asked.

I sighed a sigh of relief that I wasn’t going to have to walk on my own. ‘ Sure.’ I smiled and took his arm. As we walked out, the heat of the sun hit me. But so did all the sreaming. Then noise was deafing. Girls chanting the boys name, singing along to BSB records or just sreaming.

Kevin walked over to a bunch of girls and started singing things. I went to follow but Brian grabbed my arm.

‘ Come met the fans.’ He said and started pulling me over.

‘ Brian, do I have to?’ I whined. He grinned and put his arm round me.

‘ This is Kate.’ He told the girls. The girls smiled a forced smile at me then turned their attention back to Brian. One girl kept her eye on me. She looked me up and down, a look of disgust painted on her face. ‘ So, are you Brian’s girlfriend?’ She bitterly asked. I smiled a sweet smile, though I felt like slapping the girl. ‘ Yes I am.’

She turned to Brian. ‘ Brian, it’s me!’ She cried from across the barricade.

Brian looked at her oddly. ‘ Who are you?’ He asked.

The girl threw her arms round him. ‘ Brian, I’m having our baby!’

Brian pulled the sreaming girl off him and called security. He grabbed my hand and walked away.

‘ Brian I love you!’ She sobbed. Brian laughted.

‘ How can she love me when she doesn’t even know me?’ He questioned, hoping maybe I had the answer. I shrugged my shoulders and blushed. It was only last week at the concert that I was sreaming to AJ that I loved him.....
