Tour--Chapter Seven and Eight
Tour--Chapter Seven
"Mrs. Mclean .. where should i be during the
autograph session? I mean I don't want to be in the
way or anything..." I asked wondering. " Actually I
just found out that the local paper wants to
interview you and the guys after the session if you
don't mind." she answered as she read through some
kind of agenda. "mind...? man I don't mind I just
don't know what to say to them. The only time I've
been interviewed my whole life was after volleyball
games and for volunteer recognition. What should I
do?" I asked slightly worried of having to talk to
the press. I mean the news people who where at my
house when I left I have known because of local
interviews but these where total strangers. "First of
all relax. Your getting all jittery" Kevin said to
me as he placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder "
Second you act all goofy and jump on Nick, thats what
I always do" Brian said laughing and as he did jumped
on Nick who was intently listening to the
conversation sort of in a daze. They went into a
match of witz and playing around like brothers and
then Aaron joined in. five minutes later we were all
laughing s o hard that we were crying. The bus
driver almost ran off the road laughing.
"Thanks guys now I feel better" I said as I let out
a sigh of laughter. "thats the one thing about being
on the road, interviews and award shows pop up
unexpectedly from one day to the other" Mrs. Mclean
said from my right, "don't worry you'll be ok". "But
what do I do till then? during the session" I
repeated "I think you should be with us, after all
you are one of us now" Howie suggested from the couch
across from me. He looked really handsome in purple.
He had let his hair grow till they were almost
touching his shoulders, he left his hair curly, sort
of the way it looks in the Everybody video.
"Allright then the decision is made, you'll sit with
us during the session and the shoot during and after"
was AJ's comment "All in favor say I""I""I""I""I"
they all said gayly. "All righty then I guess I can't
win...hahahahaha" I said laughing, in my mind hoping
that I wouldn't make a fool of myself. The sun was
shining through the left side of the bus and I was
thank full for super air conditioning. "So what do
you guys do when your on tour for so long?" I asked
them. Their eyes lit up as if they had been waiting
me to ask them this question. " When we are not
sleeping we read, talk, practice most of the time"
Howie said smiling " sometimes if we have time we go
sight seeing. Before our tour schedules used t o be
really hectic but now we fixed them so every once in
a while we get to take in some of the sights" nick
said smiling, "we play a lot of video games too"
"Speaking of which Nick" Aaron interjected " you owe
me a rematch big bro". "Usually we have to wear
disguises so we don't get mobbed by fans. I mean we
love our fans a lot but sometimes we just need to be
left alone you know.." said AJ "I can imagine" I
responded.
" Boys we'll be there in 45 minutes all right?"
the bus driver said from his seat ,I thought to
myself that I would make it a point to get to know
him too he seemed really nice>
"I guess that means that we have to get dressed
guys" Howie said "I'll start, we'll wear the black/
purple right? that way we don't have to change for
the show". "sounds good my man.." AJ said. The two
of them grabbed 2 bags from the luggage carrier in
the back and went each into one of the two dressing
rooms in the back. I realized that I hadn't planned
for this and didn't have any black/purple to wear. I
suddenly turned to Mrs. mclean. I must have looked
stricken because she said to me "Don't worry your mom
and I planned and got u clothes to match the guys'
for occasions like this. There's a closet in the back
with your name on the door. The guys don't even know
about it. Her,Jane, and I went shopping together 2
weeks ago, its all part of the tour gig." She said
smiling and reassuring me. She is such a sweet and
intelligent woman. "Really..? Thanks" I said hugging
her. Brian and Nick looked confused because they
hadn't heard us, her and I laughed with amusement.
They looked even more confused. " don't worry its
girl stuff" she said to them and we laughed again.
AJ and Howie came out of the dressing rooms and put
away their bags. They were wearing straight legged
black jeans and shiny black long sleeved shirts. The
shirts were really cool. Depending on the light they
looked black, a deep purple, or a strange-ethereal
almost- black purple. They sat back down in their
seats. Both of them looked extremely attractive."I
guess its our turn B-Rok" Kevin said "sure is cous"
he answered. They got their own clothes and changed
too. I don't remember but I must have gawked when
the two of them walked out. They looked H>O>T>T>
HOTT. Kevin had the first 3 buttons unbuttoned and
you could see part of his chest. That man is the
definition of attractive. Aaron was the next to
change
"Well I guess that means that u and I are left
Nick.." I said smiling a bit nervously. He got up
from the couch and walked towards me. He stretched
out his hand and I held it as I got up. "Come on this
is your second step into the transformation" He said
smiling and laughing. I felt really special with his
arm around my shoulder and mine around his like two
old friends. I found my closet, opened it, and inside
I found a hanger with the shirt and jeans. I went
into the locker room on the right. It wasn't big but
big enough to comfortably move around. On the wall
opposite the door was a mirror where you could see
most of your body. I looked at the clothes that my
mom, Jane, and Mrs. Mclean bought for me in
conspiracy. I was so glad they did, but I dreaded
that the clothes would not fit. I put on the jeans
and blouse which looked identical to the one the guys
wore but just with a female cut. The clothes fit as
if they had been made especially for me by a taylor.
I put my hair in a pony tail and walked out feeling a
bit nervous at my appearance. When I stepped outside
I found Nick dressed in his clothes waiting for me.
We walked down the bus as if we were on a cat walk
laughing all the way. "Here is miss Erika... sporting
her new style.." Brian said mimicking the TV
broadcasters. "She looks ravishing in her new style"
AJ continued. Nick and I kept walking and when we
reached the front of the bus did a catwalk turn and
Aaron took over for Nick. The two of us went to the
back of the bus, all the way mimicking the models in
New York. We were all laughing histerycally. Finally
we finished and sat back down exhausted from
laughing. "If you guys keep it up my face is going to
stay like this" I said laughing one more time.
"ohhhh ten more minutes till we hit the mobs.." AJ
said amusingly. "You guys want to do your own hair
and make up for today?" Mrs.Mclean asked them. "We
got it covered" Kevin said from one of the dressing
rooms. The guys brushed their own hair, except AJ who
put his dreadlocks up in a pony tail. Nick slicked
his hair back and put on the non-prescription glasses
he likes to sport. Howie and Kevin put mousse and
spray in their hair, while Brian just styled it and
put some mousse in it to make it stay. Aaron just
brushed it. I wasn't surprised when they put on a
little make up themselves. They just put on some
almost invisible foundation to get an even skin
color. They all put on chap stick. I fixed my pony
tail and put on some hairspray to make it stay. I put
on basic make up, some lipstick, eyeliner, eye
shadow,
mascara, and some glitter gel over the eyeshadow. We
all looked ready to storm a fashion show.
"10 more minutes you guys" called the bus driver.
"OK lets go over the basic schedule" Mrs. Mclean
said. she looked very business like. We spent the
next ten minutes going over the schedule. We would
park in front of the book store and the seven of us
would get off with the bodyguards. She expected there
to be at lest 200 fans there. We would stop in front
of the book store to get some pictures. We'd go
inside and do some more pictures. Then we'd sit at
the table, do some more pictures and they'd let the
people in a few at the time. after an hour we'd do a
photo shoot with some of the fans and the go to the
second floor of the store to do the interview and
then leave after about 45-60 minutes.
"Allright boys we're here. If all goes to plans
I'll be here in 2 1/2 hours waiting for you. I always
have the radio if something happens. Good luck"
called the bus driver as he pulled up in front of the
store. As we came close to the store we started to
hear high pitched screeching. We all went up to the
front window and saw hundreds of girls standing in
front of the store screaming and crying at our bus.
Mrs. Mclean handed me a pin to put on. "keep it on at
all times and in case something happens the people
will know our with us. ok?" she said to me in a real
motherly voice. " I will, thank you" I put the pin
on. "You guys ready?" Kevin asked smiling. "here we
go..." Howie said grabbing my arm and putting me
between himself and AJ protectively. Aaron was being
held just has protectively between nick and Brian. We
climbed out of the bus single file and suddenly the
screaming got even louder and went up about 3
pitches. We made our way slowly towards the door of
the store. Aside from the boys own bodyguards -
including two of Aaron's own- there were about 12-19
police men trying to control the crowd. The boys
didn't stop to sign any autographs but the girls
grabbed at their clothing. One of them tried to wripp
off my security pin. We finally made it to the front
door. I looked at the crowd of people and it looked
like a scene out of the Ten Commandments. 'Allright
boys look this way' said a camera man. The seven of
us got in a huddle and I in the middle with Aaron in
front of me. Then I got on the end next to Howie who
put his arm around me like old comrades. We took two
more pictures and went inside. The store was HUGE. In
the far end was a wall with a gigantic picture of the
boys dressed in white from their latest album. In
front of it was a table with seven chairs and seven
bottles of water. There was literally a box of
permanent markers to one corner that the boys could
easily reach. We had to walk the entire store to
finally reach the table. There was a constant
flickering of flashes. "Don't worry you get used to
the flash after a while" Brian whispered to me as we
walked. I felt like a nervous mass of Jello. Brian
put his hands on my shoulders to reassure me and
Aaron held my hand. We finally reached the table. I
sat down at the inside end next to Nick and Brian who
made me laugh by making faces. They weren't worried
about looking foolish in front of the camera. The
camera men took more pictures. I finally relaxed and
my smile wasn't a facade but an true smile. The guys
said some words about how glad they were to be there
and I agreed. They finally let the mass of screaming
girls into the store. They had to be in line and
could get their things signed by only one of the
boys. I felt a bit awkward because I feared looking
foolish just sitting there. The first girl went
straight for Nick and gave me a really evil look. I
had thought that most of the girls would have gone
for Nick, but I wasn't surprised when it pretty much
evened out. Nick must have noticed that I felt a bit
awkward so when he had to do the next autograph he
grabbed my hand and held my hand to do his signature.
We wrote "With Love to Alesha, our greatest fan. Nick
Carter and Erika Terrosa". I was afraid that Alesha
was gonna have a fit but she was really good about it
and started laughing. Because she was so nice about
it Nick got his picture taken with her and so did all
the other guys. She was completely ecstatic. The
other girls looked green with envy. After the picture
Alesha came over to me and said "boy you are lucky I
wish I could be in your shoes. I'm really happy for
you though." I said "Thanks" and hugged and we got
our picture taken together. I was surprised at how
nice she was. The time flew by. Every once in a
while Aaron would act all goofy and all the guys
would join in setting the entire store into
laughter.
About 45 minutes into the session Denise came up to
me and said " allright the interview is in 30 minutes
but we need to go over some things plus I don't want
you to get crushed by the mob again". We both laughed
knowingly. I followed her up the stairs, all the time
her and I were surrounded by two body-guards. We
arrived at the store's second story and I found
myself in the presence of a bout 5 professional video
cameras, and about 100 photocameras and all the
people that belonged to them. There were 7 barstools
arranged in a semicircle in front of all this. Me and
Denise sat at one end of the store away from the
people. " OK now they are going to ask you tons of
questions, but you only have to answer the ones you
are comfortable with. Just be careful in what you
say and use the good judgment that I've seen you
have. The guys will be up in 5 minutes and then
there's gonna be an informal photo shoot, just for
like 10 minutes, then you can all sit down. You and
Aaron will sit in the middle with Nick on Aaron's
left and Howie and Kevin next to him. You'll have
Kevin and Brian to your right. So do you feel
ready?...." " I guess I mean its not like I have a
choice. I'll just picture all the cameramen in their
underwear, although that might make it worse...hhaha"
We both laughed, with a touch of nervousness in our
voices.
Suddenly there was a great commotion coming from
downstairs and girls started screaming again. One of
the police guys came up the stairs and made sure none
of the girls came in. Within a minute all five of the
guys were up the stairs and on the second floor.
They looked a bit stressed. I looked at their shirts
and I could tell that girls had been pulling on them.
They came over to Denise and me and AJ said "lets do
it mom" "Allright you guys know the drill.." she
responded to him. The seven of us huddled together
and the guys looked at me and said "don't stress
about this, its just like an English presentation. I
they ask you personal questions just do your best,
and be yourself all the time." they smiled vat me and
I relaxed only a little bit. 'Allright but if I faint
one of you has to catch me" I said straining a smile.
" OK lets go" Kevin whispered. We turned around put
our arms around each other's shoulders and walked to
the stools. Flashes went off as if it were New Year's
eve. I was blinded for a few seconds. I was still
very tense. We did some different poses for the
cameras, but the whole time being very dignified and
not fooling around.
We finally got to the interview. I had butterflies
in my stomach, my mouth dried up, and I could feel
myself flush as the temperature of my body rise. That
whole interview took about 45 minutes. I don't
remember much of it, probably because I was so
nervous. I remember being asked if my feelings and
perceptions of the guys had changed, I don't remember
what I said but it must have been funny because
everyone laughed including the guys. Aaron was asked
how he felt touring with his big brother and he
made a
funny remark. At one point Kevin was asked a question
and all I remember about his answer is that it was
very deep and profound. The camera flashes went off
continously the entire time. After that I don't
remember much, just being nervous and laughing a lot.
The next thing I remember is finding myself sitting
in the bus looking at Denise.
Tour--Chapter Eight
" whwweeeww, I don't think I've ever gone through
something like that" I sighed all in one breath. I
looked at Denise with a relieved look. She was
sitting across from me, AJ and Howie were sitting to
my right and left, Kev, Nick, and B-Rok were sitting
in the couches to my right. " hahahaha" they all
laughed knowingly, but not at me, I laughed slightly
too. "You'll get used to them... don't worry, you did
great" AJ said hugging me side ways. "Thanks" I said
" However I can't really remember most of it...it's
just like a big nervous blur.." I said half laughing.
"We knew but I don't anybody else could tell. You
never stumbled your words and it sounded as if you'd
been doing this all your life" Kevin said smiling,
"Yup you were a real pro, I never thought you would
have been able to deal with those reporters so
well.."Howie said complimenting me. "I especially
loved the way you embarrassed that reporter who asked
you about your love life.." Nick said laughing. "Well
I'm glad.. I guess I'll get to see it all on tape.."
I said laughing. "You handled them really well with a
professional attitude but you were still yourself. I
was so worried they would ask you something you
wouldn't know how to answer" Denise said.
"After this I guess I won't have to be nervous
anymore.. Do you guys know what time it will be on TV
back home?","We have no idea" Kev said. "I'm going to
call Megan right now and tell her to turn her TV
on.." I pulled out the cell phone, that had become my
best friend within the last two days, and dialed
Megan's number. "Hey AJ would you mind talking to
her, she would flip out..?" "No prob hand it over.."
he answered smiling and extended his hand. I handed
him the phone while it was ringing. "Hi this is AJ
could I speak to Megan please?" he said in a very
gentleman voice. We all watched waiting for her
reaction...we had hooked up the phone to the bus
speakers so everyone could hear. Megan's dad called
her over, "Hey Erika?" she said. "Hi Megan this is
AJ, how are you?" there was a nervous silence on the
other hand "Erika this isn't funny" she said laughing
"It's not Erika, she's sitting right next to me.." he
said chuckling " wow..Hi how are you guys doing?" she
said but sounded a bit nervous. " We are doing great,
we just finished an autograph session and televised
interview. Erika was great. We were wondering if you
knew what time it'd be on so we can all watch it?" "
Yeah let me get the TV guide..." she put down the
phone and we could hear her rammaging through papers.
AJ handed me the phone back and Nick unhooked the
speakers so I could talk privately. I smiled my
appreciation. 'Allright its on ABC tonight at 6" "
Thanks Mai.." I said half laughing " hey its you. I
can't believe you did that to me I almost died. I am
so going to kill you when you come back." She yelled
at me, but I knew she was glad I had AJ talk to her.
Out of the corner of my eye I noticed everyone
dispersing so as not to intrude, plus they had things
to do. "Fine I won't do it again" I said laughing
"oh its OK I don't mind talking to him reaally.."
she said and we both laughed. "so how did it go in
the interview? better yet whats been happening on the
bus?" she said mocking me but really wanting to know.
"Well a lot of singing, fooling around, and hard
work..",the guys laughed in the background. "you
should have seen this, after you left 27 people
called me and asked me for your cell number so they
could talk to you. And guess who was the first..
Heather but of course, when I answered it I laughed
and told her when she gains 50 pounds I'll give it to
her. Milone even called." We both laughed
histerically.(don't worry if you don't get it its an
inside joke that very few people know about). We
talked for 15 minutes about all kinds of stuff...
catching up on the last few days. I was about to hang
up and I got an idea.. "Megan hold on for a sec K?"
she agreed. I went up to the guys and said " since
you guys are going to practice in a few would you
mind
practicing on the phone for her. It would cheer her
up?" "No prob" they said in unison and got in a
little huddle, their faces beaming with pride. "K Mai
you've got to listen to this" I said enthusiastically
into the phone, she replied with enthusiasm in her
voice "Like a flower to a tree...thats how close I
wanna be to youur heeaartt" Howie began an accapella
of Just To Be Close To You with the rest of the guys
doing back-up vocals. When they finished I asked her
"so what do you think?" "WOW and WOW" I laughed and
told her I'd call her tomorrow. " So do we pass
approval? " Nick asked " Hm hm, and whenever you want
shell take you guys out partying" we all laughed.
"and she said the interview is coming on at 6 o'clock
tonight" Brian looked at his watch and said " thats
now. Nick jumped to the other end of the couch,
reached to the ceiling and pulled down the TV. He
switched to ABC and we all huddled on one couch. I
sat in the middle and got squished by Brian Howie and
Nick. We all laughed but nobody moved. I leaned my
head on Brian's shoulder and we all settled to watch.
Nick surfed till he found ABC and it had just
started. They showed clips of us getting out of the
us and going to the book store. All the time the host
talking about the guys and me. They then focused on
me when nick made me relax by signing the girl's
shirt with my hand. "oh nooo I look so dumb.." said
cringing and embedding my face in Nick's shoulder and
they all laughed and started teasing me " you guys
aren't helping...." "Hey its your national TV debut,
you should be proud.." Kevin laughed and shook my
shoulders. We kept watching. They then went to the
interview. We all looked really good in our matching
outfits. I listened intently at my answers. At one
point one of the interviewers asked me "sooo have you
ever been romantically involved with anyone" I smiled
and nonchalantly answered " I'm afraid I can't answer
that because I don't know you tat well yet" Everyone
in the room laughed and so did the guys... both on
the interview and next to me. I cringed again into
Nick's shoulder again and we all laughed. My laugh
had a bit of embarrassement in it. We finished
watching. It ended at 7 and the FSU concert was at 9.
This had been the first time I had ever been on
National television, I was both proud and embarrassed
but I realized the guys were right.. I didn't seem or
act nervous at all, actually I looked like a TV
veteran, too bad I hadn't felt like one at the time.
The confidence must have robbed off on me from the
guys. Nobody wanted to get up from the couch but AJ
and Kevin managed to push everybody off so we were
laughing again.
"You guys ready for a bit of warm up?" Kevin asked
with a bit of seriousness, "nahh we have a full hour
when we get there... plus I need to finish some
things" was Brian's reply and everyone else including
Kevin agreed. Everybody went off to their own thing
so I reached for my bag and pulled out my drawing
journal, a graphite pencil, and some conte. Denise
sat
down next to me, "Since this theater is small
compared to all the other ones we're going to do you
can sit in the crowd if you want..its first come
first serve so wherever you want to sit is fine, just
make sure you can get yourself to the stage before
the
end of the show. The last song is probably going to
be Anywhere For You. OK so don't get into too much
trouble.." she said smiling at me. "Cool, I think I
can manage that" I responded smiling back. It wasn't
dark out yet since it was summer but the sun had
slowly begun to set and sunlight was coming right
through the windows and on the back of my neck. Kevin
was strewn across one of the couches, and the way the
sunlight light hit him looked like adonnis. I
couldn't resist and drew him in my notebook. After I
finished and washed my hands I decided this would be
the perfect time to get to know the driver. I made my
way to the front, having to almost jump over Nick who
was lying on the floor, and sat down on the floor
facing the driver. "Hi,I'm Erika" "I know, I'm Jon.
So how do you like it so far?" "I am having the best
time of my life, I doubt anything will ever be able
to top this. SO how long have you been the driving
these maniacs around?" "Basically from when they
first began. We've been together all the way.
Everyone is like my family. I couldn't live without
any of them..." Jon and I talked fervently for about
30 minutes. He was a man of about 35 years old,
pretty normal looking, extremely intelligent and
funny. "Well we're almost there, You all should go
freshen up a bit, tell the guys too.." Jon smiled at
me. "Allright, talk to you later Jon". I got up and
walked back to the table where I had left my stuff. I
found Nick raiding the fridge with Howie, and in a
general way told everyone we were almost there. We
took turns using the bathrooms and we just chilled on
the couch for ten minutes talking about nonsense. We
finally got there and we unloaded ourselves from the
bus into the auditorium. I took with me my drawing
notebook and utensils. The band had already set
up around 8:15 they started to warm up by everyone,
including the guys just making off the wall sounds.
It sounded like an orchestra warming up. We were
introduced to the student council president and the
dean of students, they were extremely nice. I went to
the dressing room in the auditorium and re-did my
makeup and hair.I jumped off the stage and sat down
in the front row center stage, I didn't feel like
having to walk through a mass of people at the end of
the show just so I could leave. Kevin and Brian were
sitting at the piano singing with just the piano
accompaniment. I decided to draw them in conte,
because they were the only ones sitting still Nick,
AJ, and Howie were jumping around practicing their
moves and running around like chickens with their
heads cut off. It was 10 minutes before they would
let people start coming in so I quickly jumped up the
stage and went to wash my hands. Coming back I stuck
my notebook and media in Nick's bag so I wouldn't
lose it.
The whole time Denise had been talking to the student
council president and the dean of students who had
organized the whole thing. I got in the prayer huddle
with the guys, mainly cause Howie and AJ dragged me
in, and I wished them all good luck and jumped back
down to my seat just as the students started filing
in. about twenty minutes later the auditorium had
been filled to capacity 3500 students, I have no idea
how they got them all in and seated so fast. The
concert started. Aaron opened for the guys with his 2
latest songs. A few people noticed that I was wearing
the same exact outfit as the guys but noone said
anything they just gave me strange looks. The crowd
was mostly girls, there were some couples and a small
number of guys by themselves- probably went just to
pick up girls although some must have liked the music
cause they danced to it. The guys were just as
energetic as always but it seemed to me as though
they were a bit tired. Throughout the concert the
guys would look at me and smile or laugh and all the
girls around me thought they were pointing to them.
It was extremely entertaining to watch. I was glad
none of them took me on stage during 'I'll Never
Break Your Heart'. The show was winding down and the
guys started to sing 'I'll Go Anywhere...' as their
second encore, so I looked around for one of the
bodyguards that would escort me to the bus like
before. Instead I looked up and found Nick leaning
over the edge of the stage holding out his hand to me
and mouthing 'let's go'. The girls around me went
into a frenzy and started to grab for his hand but he
was able to fight them off long enough for me to grab
his hand and pull myself up the stage with his help.
Some off the girls in anger biched and hit me, it
really hurt. When I finally composed myself I turned
around and realized I had over 3000 pairs of eyes
staring at me, it was very unnerving. Aaron came out
from backstage and sang the end of the song with
them. Their six voices harmonized incredibly
beautifully together. They gathered in the center of
the stage with me at one end and Aaron on the other
and Kevin in the middle. They finished the song and
screamed "Goodnight FSU It was great being here.We
love you all Bye" The crowd went nuts. We ran off
stage, out the back door and directly to the bus
nonstop, and yet there were still fans in the back
parking lot trying to get autographs. We just ran
right through and onto the bus. Like the previous
night we collapsed on the couches dead, they more
than I. The six of them looked absolutely ragged and
worn as if they'd gone days without sleep or food. We
all fell asleep right away. Aaron and I fell asleep
in the back couch. We were all sprawled out on the
couches and partly on the floor. Although I wasn't as
physically tired as the guys the excitement of the
day wore me out and I slept straight through the
night. That night we didn't stop at a hotel because
the next day we had to be in north Georgia, at least
we would be there two days and would be able to sleep
in a hotel bed. When I woke up it was already light
out but the sun wasn't high in the sky yet. I looked
at my watch and saw that it was 8:25. I looked around
and saw that Aaron and AJ had ended up sleeping on
the floor, why or how I don't know. I looked toward
the front and saw that Denise, Kevin, and Nick were
already awake but they hadn't noticed that I was
yet.
So I slowly got up and without making any noise got
my bag out of the over head compartment and went into
one of the changing rooms. I changed into khaki
shorts and a teal volleyball shirt that said "hit
like a girl doesn't mean what it used to". I came out
and tiptoed to the front and said 'Hi' to the five of
them and sat down next to Nick on the couch closest
to the front. They had a also changed shirts and I
figured we made a pit stop somewhere because across
from Kevin were two boxes from Dunkin Donuts and nine
cups of orange juice. They each turned around and
said 'good morning' I said 'good morning' back. "Want
one?' Kevin asked me and simultaneously handed me one
of the donut boxes. I took it from him and looked
inside. I was pleasantly surprised to find a Bavarian
creme donut, I took it out and handed him the box
back, at the same time he handed me a napkin knowing
I would probably end up with half of the powdered
sugar on my face. I dug in and forgot not to breath
