Hello! Well, what happenend to me was totally amazing. The Boys were signing autographs at "Sam The Record Man" in Toronto, and my BSB-freak-of-a-sister dragged me along. I didn't even know who they were, and I was so into alternative/ rock music, so I thought "These guys are probably just more NKOTB wannabes." Boy was I wrong. When they came on stage, I kinda thought the blond one (Nick) was cute, so I decided to stay. We were near the front, but not quite. Anyways, I took a couple of pictures of them for her (my sister) since I'm taller, when Nick looked straight at me and smiled. I was so shocked, that I totally froze. I smiled back, and he closed his eyes and began to sing. When it was FINALLY our turn to go up and get their autographs, Kevin ( I learned all of their names later) asked me how old I was. I told him 16, and asked why. He told me that Nick wanted to know. I thought he was just being a jerk, so I laughed and moved my poster over to Nick. He looked up and took my hand (I was wearing gloves, too) and kissed it. I just stood there, shocked. He was even more gorgeous close up!! He asked me my name, and we started talking. I stood there, answering his questions (he asked me if I was a model, for God's sake!!) blankly, while he continued to sign posters. A minute later, their security guard came up and said someting in Nick's ear. Nick turned to me and told me to go with the security guard. I thought I was being set up, because they thought I stole or something, but we (my sister & me) went anyway, to prove that I didn't steal. The security guard took me out back to where their limo's were. He didn't say anything, but I started to worry, so I asked him why I was there. He told me not to worry, and sat on the hood of their car. About 15 minutes later, the Boys came out, and stood by us. Nick asked me if my parents would mind me going with them. At this point, I was totally speechless, so I just looked at him. My sister spoke up, and said "Of course not!" So, we got into the car with them, and my sister (who knew everything about them) started to talk to them as if they were old friends or something. When we got to "The Warehouse" (which is where they were performing) Nick asked me why I was so quiet. I confessed that I didn't know anything about them. He told me that that was great, coz now he knew I'd like him for who he was and not what he did. My sister was totally "making friends" with Brian (she was 19). They invited us to watch them practice, and Of CoUrSe we agreed. Nick was soooooooooo sweet, serenading me and whatnot. I was practically falling in love with him. After practice, they invited us to stay and eat with them, and if we were gonna stay for the concert. I had to call my parents and ask them if I could stay. Fortunately, they said yes. We had tickets (I totally changed my mind about these gorgeous guys I had called NKOTB wannabes) and told them we'd love to stay!! So, we stayed for most of the concert backstage, and after the concert, we went cruising around with them in their limos. I had the best time, and when we got back Nick asked if I wanted to hang out a while more. I agreed and he took me up to their hotel room. We watched TV, and talked. As it turned out, he even liked Oasis and Nirvana (2 of my fav bands!!) He was really easy to talk to, and we even kissed a couple of times!! He was so cute!!! NEwayz, it was about 1:30am by this time, so I told him I had to go. I called my parents, and they didn't believe where I was, and told me to get my sister and get home right that instant!!! I hung up, sadly, and told him what they had said. He understood, and I told him that I'd get my sister and catch a taxi. He wouldn't let me take a taxi, and insisted on his chaufeur driving me home. I told him it was ok, and gave him a kiss good-night, but he took my arm and went and got my sister (from Brian's room--! wonder what they were up to, huh? Hee hee :) He told Brian the situation and the 4 of us went down to where their limo was and we all got in. I told him how nice this was, and he said " No problem, anything for a fan." Then he kissed me (On the cheek, dammit!!) Brian started to laugh, and Nick blushed. By the time we got to my house, it was past 2:00am, so the 4 of us got out of the car and walked up the stairs (to prove it to my parents). When my parents answered the door,and saw who was standing with us (they knew who these guys were, my sister had posters of them all over her room ) they invited them in for coffee & tea. They couldn't stay, which I could understand, so my parents went up to bed, and the 4 of us exchanged phone numbers, addresses and e-mail addys, and I actually had the guts to, so I kissed Nick smack on the lips. Brian kissed my sister, and they left. I WILL NEVER EVER FORGET THAT DAY, EVER!!! Yes, once in a while they will call or write, and we ! do see them occasionally, when they're in Toronto, and they visit and stuff. They're just normal people, really.... =)
