Chapter 3
"I promise you guys. This is gonna be big!!" Their manager contacted each of the guys and asked for a surprise meeting. After their accident in Dallas, the guys cancelled their tour. A few months later, the group decided they needed a break. AJ & Nick stayed in the music business, Howie turned to acting, and Kevin and Brian were able to settle down with their newlyweds. "Yeah..so big that we'll crush all the fans in the entire arena. Not just a dozen in the front row.." Nick muttered. Their manager went to his desk and returned back, with yet, another stack of papers for each guy to look at. The boys were a bit more pleased with this idea. The costumes were cool, the stage was even better. Except they were a bit confused on towards the end. "I think you have a typo here, Joe. It says we're the opening act." Kevin mentioned.
Their manager shook his head slowly. "No guys, the papers are right. We've discovered a new group. Also, they're here to pick up their tour schedules. Perhaps you can meet them." All the guys sat in shock. Never had the one and only Backstreet Boys had to stoop so low...so low as to become "the opening act", "the crowd warmer". They were disgusted. Before they could protest.... A soft knock on the office door caught everyones attention. Joe quickly walked over and opened the door. "You guys are just in time. Come on in."
The group walked in bashfully, quickly catching the eyes of the 5 attractive guys sitting on the couches in the corner. Nick was the first to speak up. He quickly elbowed AJ in the ribs, whispering in his ear."I like the one on the far left....the blonde chick. Whaddaya think?" AJ looks at Nick, a mischevious grin on his face. "I like the middle one. She's my kinda style." AJ whispered. Brian and Kevin, although married, did take quite a shine to the female species gracing their presence in front of them. Howie couldn't help but smile and raise an eyebrow. "Hey Bri. How 'bout that cute brunette?" Brian laughed at Howie and nudged him in the side. "Go get her, D. You da' man!" The trio sat down quietly in some chairs a few feet away from the boys, whispering amongst themselves.
"Guys, I want you to meet our new girl group. They just signed last week. This is Danielle, Marie, and Gwynn." The three girls exchanged smiles and small greetings across the room. Gwynn lowered her sunglasses and smiled seductively at AJ. "Dude..you see that? She wants me..." AJ declared casually. Nick and Howie agreed, their personal favorites gave their share of sexy smiles. The hours of mindless business talk finally ended,and their manager dismissed the two groups. Howie, Nick & AJ decided to catch the girls for a night on the town. Making their way down the endless hallways, they exited out into the front parking lot.
"No! There they go!" Nick shouted, pointing to a white convertible speeding out of the parkinf lot. "Damn. How we gonna find them now." AJ asked. Howie left the two guys alone, walking towards an empty parking space. "Hey guys I found something." Howie picked up a neon green brick, with a piece of paper taped around it. He quickly untangled the strings and opened the papers. Howie read aloud:
Dear Boys,
Meet us at the London Inn @ 8:00pm sharp! Room 521.
We'll be waiting....
Marie, Gwynn, Danielle
A shower of dust erupted out of the parking lot or Orion Records, a silver corvette speeding down the busy highway into the dusk.
The End?
