"We'd like to introduce some people." I heard Justin say.
He and the other guys bring Me, Michelle, Chrissy, and Krystl forward. One by one they announced that we were their girlfriends. A roar of "Boo’s" erupted from the crowd.
"If you were up here, you wouldn't be booing." Chris said to the crowd.
"Yeah." J.C. added.
We all laughed a little, and then Justin leans in and kisses me. 'Did he just kiss me in front of all these people?' I thought to myself. I wasn't as nervous as I saw all the rest of the couples were more involved than we were. As we walked down the red carpet, I was amazed at how beautiful everyone looked. The Backstreet Boys and their dates walked passed us. I turned to say something to Michelle, but was interrupted when Justin said,
"Hey Jeff, What's up man? Where's the rest of the guys?"
"They're walking around. Man, long time no see. How you guys doing?" Jeff asked.
"Good. I'd like you to meet my girl, Amanda."
"Oh, so you're the culprit who's taken him. I’m.”
“Jeff from 98*, I know." I interrupted him.
"Ah, a fan." He said.
"Well, I gotta go. See you later. Good luck."
"Thanks, Jeff."
"Justin, baby, can we find our seats?" I say sweetly.
"Sure, come on."
I was mesmerized by all the famous people I was surrounded by. *NSYNC's performance was great. I almost died laughing when Britney tripped during her performance. When the guys came back from performing, I saw Lance grab Marta's hand as he sat down.
*** Marta ***
During the performance, I couldn't keep myself from smiling. He was so cute. As he walked back to his seat, I saw his face brighten when he came closer to me. When he sat down, he grabbed my hand. I was so shocked that he had done that. The smile finally returned to my face, and his hand stayed in mine the rest of the night.
*** Amanda ***
After Party
The after party was great. Well, at least for me it was. As a new couple, Justin and I found a dark corner table by ourselves. When we weren't at the table, we were on the dance floor. And, man, can Justin dance. J.C. and Michelle were on the dance floor, too. But, for some reason, J.C. looked mad.
*** Michelle ***
J.C. and I sat at the table near Amanda and Justin.
"They need to get a room." I said.
J.C. laughed and agreed. For a while, we sat there and made fun of them. Once in a while, we got up and danced. Justin and Amanda danced, too, but that's when they took a break from being busy at the table. Once, when we were sitting, my pager went off.
"What the.." I said as I looked at it. “Shit." It was my x-boyfriend.
"What's wrong? What is it?" he asked.
"No one important. They can wait." I answered hoping that he wouldn't ask any more about it.
My pager beeps me again.
"Sounds important." J.C. says.
"Hold on, I'll be back." I got up and went to the phone to dial Rory's #.
"Hey Michelle, baby. What's up?" He says.
"Rory, leave me alone and stop calling me. We are through, I've moved on. “I yell.
"Yeah, I know. That guy from the guy, no, fag group." He answered.
"Oh, shut up, Rory. We're through and he's more of a man than you ever were!" I yelled. "Rory, GOODBYE!" I scream as I hang up the phone.
"What was that about?" J.C. says from behind me.
"Let's go back to the table, I'll explain there." He leads me back to the table.
"Ok, let's see. Where should I start?"
"The beginning please."
"About six months ago, I met and started dating a guy named Rory. About a month and a half ago, we broke up, but he can't get it through his head that we are through. He was very possessive, and that's why I broke up with him. But, for some reason, he won't leave me alone." I finished slowly.
"Oh." He said. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't want to involve you." I answered.
"Well, you are my girlfriend now and so I am involved." He said angrily.
"Let's dance." I say trying to get his mind off of this subject.
"Sorry, I don't feel like it any more."
"Come on, J.C., don't let this bother you." I beg.
Amanda came over with Justin close behind of course.
"Hey you guys, are you ready to go? Justin and I want to head back to the hotel."
"Yeah, let's get the other guys and go." J.C. said.
We gathered everyone and went back to the hotel.
*** Later that night ***
*** Amanda ***
"Amanda." Justin whispered in my ear.
"Yes." I say.
"Are you asleep?"
"Yes, and I'm staying right here." I answered.
"If you were asleep, you wouldn't be talking, and anyway, it's my bed." He complained.
"So, you can stay here, or the couch is always open." I told him.
"Ok then, good night." He said climbing into bed with me.
"I can't wait to see where you live tomorrow." He said wrapping his arms around me.
"Good night Justin, I'll see you in the morning." I said smiling.
I couldn't wait either.
