_____Baby Boy
Chapter 1
"Uhh, Meggie. I don't quite know who to tell you this without sounding rude, so I'm just going to come right out and say it...there's been a rumor going around school, that you've been.....ummm....been sleeping around," Nick Carter said, quietly to his best friend, Meggie Brandis. He didn't want anybody to hear what they were talking about.
"Yeah, so? What's your point?" Meggie asked, chewing a piece of gum. She shrugged her shoulders, as if she didn't care.
"Well, are you?" he asked, impatiently. He heard from a few days earlier one of his buddies that Meggie was an easy lay, and that she had sex with almost half the football team. It had been bothering him every since but he didn't know how to approach her about the topic.
"So what if I am?" Meggie snapped, knowing Nick was going to be disappointed in her.
"Oh, Meggie, Meggie, Meggie why?" Nick complained, hanging his head low.
"Because it's fun. Having a different guy all the time is so much funner then just one guy. You only live once, Nicky," Meggie said, softly. She was hoping her best friend would understand her, since no one else seemed to.
"Yes, but do you even care that everyone is calling you a slut and every other name close to that?" Nick said, the concern showing in his baby blues.
"So they have their own opinion," Meggie said, rolling her eyes. "There ain't nothin' I can do about that!"
"Yes, but did you ever stop and think that maybe it's the truth? God, Meggie I'm your best friend and I love you to death, but if you sleep with every guy you see, even I'm gonna say what's true," Nick said, sadly. It hurt him that she was acting that way, because he knew she could do so much better. "And I really don't enjoy doing that, so please stop. Do it for yourself. And if you won't do it for yourself, then do it for me, your best friend," Nick begged.
Meggie sighed. "Fine, I will, on one condition. You have to satisfy me," Meggie said, seriously. Nick's mouth opened wide, with shock, but nothing came out. He was speechless. "Nick, relax, it was just a joke," Meggie said, smiling at him.
He shook his head at her. "You've got guts, Brandis," Nick said, smiling along with her.
"And you've got none, my wonderful Nickolas," Meggie teased, jumping on Nick's back, after he stood up to leave the lunchroom.
He slowly dragged the both of them to the doors. "Oh no, Meggie. You're....too.....heavy. I...can't hold you....anymore," Nick joked, falling to the floor outside the doors.
Meggie laughed, and got up. "Get up, we gotta go," Meggie said, kicking him playfully.
"Where are we goin'?" he asked, getting up and brushing himself off.
"Wherever the bus takes us," Meggie said, dragging him out the front doors of their school.
"But we've got class," Nick said, pointing back to their school.
"Fine, stay here for the next half of the day while I go have fun," Meggie said, disappointed. She gave a small pout, knowing Nick would give in.
"Alright fine, I'll go. Ya know, one of these days, you're gonna get me in big trouble," Nick whined, wrapping an arm around her shoulder.
"Yep, I know," she agreed, nodding her head. They walked the 5 minutes to the closest bus stop.
