Howie smiled. "See? What'd I tell you?"
"Right about what?" Kevin asked.
"Nick asked me out!" I answered excitedly.
"That's great but you'd better not tell Donna," Kevin warned. "She has strict rules about us going out with anyone that works for her."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful."
"I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about Nick. He's not the best at keeping secrets and he'll probably slip and tell Donna."
"I'll make sure that he doesn't," I said. "I'd better go find Kari and tell her! See you guys later!" I ran off in search of Kari, and found her in our bunk room. "Kari guess what?"
Kari looked up from the magazine she was reading "I don't know Aim, what?"
"I'm going out with Nick!"
"Like, ohmigod! No way!"
"Yes way! He asked me out a few minutes ago!"
"That's so cool! Actually I like, wanna ask someone on this bus out."
"Really? Who?"
"Brian, but I'm afraid that he doesn't like me."
"Um, actually he does."
Kari looked at me, surprised. "How do you know that?"
"He told me himself! He really likes you, but he's afraid that you like AJ."
"Ohmigod that's like, so cool!" Kari gave me a hug. "I'm gonna go talk to him. Later!"
After Kari left, I went to go talk to Nick. I found him in the guys' bunk room. "Hey Nick." I said as I walked in.
He smiled and motioned for me to come sit next to him. "Hey Aim. I was talking to Donna before and she said that we're going to stop for the night soon. Do you want to go see a movie or something?"
"Sure," I answered.
"Cool. Hey, do you wanna do something in the mean time?"
"Like what? There's nothing to do."
"We could watch a movie," Nick suggested.
"Okay," I agreed. "Which one?"
"How about Scream?"
"I don't know, I hate scary movies!"
Nick smiled wickedly. "Who says we have to watch the movie?"
I smacked him playfully. "Nick Carter you are such a perv."
"What?" he asked innocently. "Is it a crime to want to have sex with your girlfriend?"
"Nick, it's only been 10 minutes since we started dating. I'd say you'll have to wait a bit longer."
Nick pouted. "Damn. You still want to watch the movie?"
I shrugged. "Okay."
A Little While Later
"No Tatum! Don't crawl through the kitty door you're not gonna make it! Ewww!" I screamed as Tatum got squished in the garage door. "Nick this is nasty!"
He laughed. "I think it's funny."
"You would. Don't sleep with Billy Neve, he's skanky!"
Nick laughed again. "You're too funny."
"Turn around Neve! He's right behind...Ohmigod! He just stabbed Billy! Run dumbass!" I yelled. "Ewww Tatum's still hanging from the door! Nick that's it, turn this off!"
"Why?" Nick whined. "The good part is coming up!"
"Please?" I pleaded. "I'll do anything, just turn it off!"
"Anything?" Nick asked slyly.
"Anything but sleep with you," I retorted.
Nick sighed. "Fine I'll turn it off, but you have to see whatever scary movie I want tonight."
"Okay," I agreed. "What's playing?"
"Never Been Kissed, that's pretty scary."
"How do you figure?"
"David Arequette's in it, could it get any scarier?"
"Scary? Please, I think he's sexy."
"Sexier than me?"
"Anyone is sexier than you." I answered playfully.
Nick scoffed. "Then obviously you haven't seen close up the sexiness that is Nick Carter."
"How close do you need to be."
Nick brought my face right up his. "This close," he said before we kissed.
