Chapter Three -- Unforgettable...
"Of course I wanna sign the contract with you guys."
"Good... listen, they're your parents and everything they do are good for you. Just tell them what you want and sooner or later, they're gonna understand."
"You think it's gonna work?"
"Yea.... but just tell your parents to be here in Orlando for 2 weeks, you'll have ways to prove it to them your decision is right!"
"Okay.. but how can I prove it?"
"Let me see... after our concert here, we'll find some ways to let u perform in public... don't worry about it, I promise it will happen, okay?"
"Okay, thanks very much Nick."
"No problem Lori. Wait.. u mind I call u Lori?"
"Of course not... so.. what are you doing out here at the beach this late? I thought you guys have a concert tomorrow, you need more rest, right?"
"I can't sleep... well, I broke up with my girlfriend last week."
"Winnie rite? I'm sorry..."
"It's okay.. wow... u sure is a true Backstreet fan... knows everything..."
"Hey... cheer up! I wanna see an excellent BSB concert tomorrow!"
"You going?"
"Yup... I've been going to all BSB concert since the Millennium tour in 1999."
"and you've met us backstage last year..." He gives me a smile.
"Wow! Nick, you remember me?"
"I recognize you once I saw you."
"You know what Nick, you really surprises me... because you guys are meeting million of fans every year, and you actually recognizes me." I smile gladly.
"Well, actually it is because of the blue scarf you gave me that time."
"You still have it... wow!"
"That was like one of the best gifts I've ever received. When you told me you knitted it for me, I was really surprised. I mean, although it's not anything really expensive, it means a lot..."
We sat there and talked for a very long time. At around 3 am, he drove me back to the hotel.
"Thanks Nick!"
"You're welcome. Thanks for listening to my problems. Here you go..." he handed me a backstage pass, "come find me tomorrow."
"Oh my god! thanks!" I gave him a hug, I was basically giving him a reaction every Backstreet fan would give him when they got a backstage pass.
"Nite Nick!"
"Nite Lori!"

Nick's house -- 3:35 am ~
Brian and
Kevin were staying in Nick's house. Nick opens the front door
quietly, but it still woke Brian up. Brian sits up, glance at the
clock and came out from the room.
"hey Nick... u come home so late!"
"Brian, did I wake you up! I'm sorry man... " Both of them sat at the living room.
"So Nick, where did you go?"
"The beach... I met Loretta over there."
"And you guys talk for so long? You guys just met this morning..."
"Yea... but she's a really good listener. Without hesitating, she just told me what's bothering her as if I'm her old friend." Nick said as he smiles.
"Well... we'll see Nick... come on, go sleep, we still have a concert to do tomorrow."
