I spotted Alana on the other side of the lobby. "Alana come on I've got something to talk to you about."
"It's about time. What took you so long?"
"Tay." I lied.
"Oh got cha'!" She said. As we walked around I asked "Are you and Jen busy tonight?" Alana instantly got an ear to ear grin. "As a matter of fact it's tonight that we have our dinner with Brian and
them."
"Oh well what time?" I asked even though I already knew-Brian and Nick already discussed it as part of our plan.
"Not for a few hours, why? What's with all the questions?" She asked somewhat annoyed.
"Nothing....I just have a surprise for you." I said with my sly smile.
"AMY LEE!!!" Alana whined, knowing I wouldn't tell her what was going on. I stoppped then looked straight at her. "Quit whining and come on, Backstreet Boys can wait their turn." I said pulling her into the elevator. I pushed the up buttoned but when we were about halfway to our destination I stopped it.
"Amy what the HELL are you doing?!" Alana asked panicked.
"Alana dear put this on your eyes so you can't see anything." I said as I casually gave her the scarf.
"Are you on crack?!!?" She shouted.
"No" I laughed, "I just want this to be great and in order to do that you can't know where you're going. So PLEASE put it on." I pleaded with my puppy dog look NO ONE can refuse.
"Ok, but you know that if you're in any kind of trouble I'd help without you having to do all of this crazy shit." She said.
"I know but I'm not in any kind of trouble." I said smiling. ~She's going to be so surprised~ I thought to myself as Alana reluctantly put on the scarf and held on to my arm for balance. I pressed the up button again and shortly there after the doors opened. And as Alana tried to get off Nick came on.
"Who's that?" Alana asked.
"Nobody." I said as I smiled at Nick. Alana tried to take the scarf off but I caught her. "Leave it! Alana please don't ruin this."
"Okay but hurry up. I'm anxious and I have to pee." She said. I had to try my hardest not to laugh. Nick then opened the Cream soda he brought for me. "HA!! I told you someone else came on!" She said.
"Sorry about that." Nick said.
"That's okay. Amy what the hell is going on?" Alana asked again.
"Don't worry about it Alana, everything is fine." I looked over at Nick, "Um you'll have to excuse her she's kinda paranoid as to what my surprise is." The elevator stopped and the doors almost closed again but I stopped them with my foot. "God Dammit!" I said and I grabbed Alana. "That wouldn't have been good. Who knows where that elevator would've taken you. That and you're blindfolded." I laughed. We had to walk quickly, I'm sure we looked just a little strange. We were walking through the lobby when some guy grabbed me. "Get your hands off me!!" I yelled as I tried to get him to release me. Alana started freaking out, "WHAT'S GOING ON!!" she yelled as she tried to the the scarf off but Nick stopped her.
"Don't worry everything is fine." Nick said. He then turned to me and the crazy guy holding me down and said, "Unhand the lady -she's with me."
The guy obviously didn't care because he said, "With all due respect I don't care, she's hurting my friend."
"What are you talking about and who are you?" Alana asked, really starting to get mad.
"It's me Charlie." The guy said. "Are you okay?" He asked while letting go of me.
"Yes, I'm fine Charlie. Thanks for trying to help but my friend Amy here has a surprise and just has an odd way of going about things." Alana said smiling.
" Uh, ok...you promise you're ok?" Charlie asked again.
"Yes, Charlie, I'm fine."
"We have to get going before someone else accuses us of kidnapping you!" I interupted. And I left holding Alana's hand with Nick following. "Alana who was that?" I asked.
"My bellboy, why?" Alana said. I could tell she knew what was coming up.
"Well it seemes like he likes you. Are you intersted in him?" I asked. I had to make sure that she didn't like anyone else.
"NO, I don't even remember what the guy looks like."
"Oh, ok." I said somewhat relieved.
"Amy, you're starting to scare me. What's with all the questions?" Alana asked confused. We were on our way out of the hotel and I think she realized that. "Amy, where are you taking me?" She whined.
"Just go in, Amy is waiting for you on the other side." Nick said referring to the revolving doors. She made it out to me quickly and we walked towards the limo. Nick placed his hand on Alana's head so she wouldn't hit it while getting in. And so not to scare her he told her that, "Now we're getting into a car so watch your head."
"Thanks." Alana said as she climbed in with Nick behind her. We drove around for about 15 minutes and came back to the hotel.
"Come on Alana, I think we're late." I said grabbing her hand. And to make sure that Charlie didn't ruin everything we went in a side door. We were meeting everyone in my hotel room (Tay, Beth, Care, Isaac, Zac, Brian, AJ, Howie D, Kevin and Jen) We got into the elevator, went up 6 floors,down 3, up 11, then down 2 and up 2. We then took the long way to my room. As we approached my room Alana asked, "What time is it?"
"It's time for your surprise." I said and as I opened the door Nick took off her blindfold. Nobody was right there so obviously she was just a little upset, "All this shit and you were just taking me to your room!!?"
"No," Nick started. Alana turned around and I think her jaw fell about five feet. "It's time for your dinner with Backstreet boys but we felt more like a party."
"Oh my God." Alana whispered and only turned around when Brian started singing "I'll never break your heart". He seranaded her with the song and a dozen roses. Alana was so happy and surprised she almost started crying. When Brian finished he hugged her and brought her to the living room part of the suite -where the party was. (with his arm still wrapped tightly around her)
I went to Taylor instantly. "I missed you." I said and I kissed him.
"I missed you too." The party was great. We had a blast. We had supper provided by room service. :) And then we sat around talking. Alana, Beth, Care and I told embarrassing stories about each other -we definetly had enough. The guys told equally embarrassing stories about each other. Midnight thirty rolled around and we all decided it was time to go to bed. Brian took Alana's hand and asked her if he could walk her to his room. Alana just blushed and smiled. I think Brian really liked her.
"Well I think that went pretty well." Care said once they all left.
"Yeah it did." I said as I climbed into bed with Taylor. "I think Brian really likes Alana."
"Yeah he does." Zac said.
"What do you mean?" I asked. What did Zac know that I didn't?
"Well we were all talking before you guys got here and it seems as though Brian's wanted to meet Alana ever since she wrote him for the first time."
"Kinda like I wanted to meet you." Taylor interrupted. I kissed him softly.
"ANYWAY, he wanted to meet her it's just that he's really shy y'know?" Zac finished.
"Wow I can't believe it." I said in disbelief.
"Yeah and it seems that Nick has had a thing for you ever since New York." Zac said kinda laughing.
"WHAT!!" I asked shocked.
"Zac," Tay said angerly, "I thought we agreed that we weren't going to say anything about that. Nick might be my friend and all but we aren't going to discuss how he wants my girlfriend." I was shocked. Taylor seemed very angry about all of this.
"Honey, you don't have to worry." I said as I tightened my grip on his hand. "I love you and I'm not going anywhere. Ok?"
"Ok, I'm sorry I got so angry." He said quietly.
"That's ok." Both Zac and I said. We all fell asleep without another word about it.
