“Do you know where my earrings are?” Nicole asked. Devon walked into the room holding her earrings. Nicole smiled and grabbed her dress she was wearing for the Grammy’s. She was running late because the Dean at the college she worked at kept her after, when she told him about going to the Grammy’s, He had laughed in her face. Nicole pulled on her tight black dress quickly and got Devon into his tiny tux.
“Arm” Nicole commented. Devon put his arm into the sleeve.
“What time are they coming?” Devon asked.
“UM, 7” Nicole replied. She put him on the bed and ran into her bathroom, grabbing some bobby pins; she put her hair into clumps and pulled it back into a bun. She had done her make-up before hand, so she was all ready.
“How do I look?” Nicole asked Devon. He smiled and she ran out to the kitchen. She grabbed some lipstick and reapplied it. Ricky was sitting on the couch and walked over by her.
“OMG, You sexy” He laughed. Nicole smiled and hugged him. Devon walked out by Nicole with eye shadow on.
“DEVON!” Nicole yelled.
“What? Ricky wears it” Devon replied. Nicole made a face. Ricky started to walk by Devon, when Nicole stopped him.
“Ricky, you gave him enough ideas” Nicole snapped. The doorbell buzzed and Ricky went to get it while Nicole pushed Devon into the bathroom. She closed the door and looked at him.
“Out of all the colors, you picked dark blue, why not pink?” Nicole laughed. The door opened and Brian walked in.
“BRIAN!” Devon screamed. He ran to him and wrapped his arms around him.
“I guess you missed me” Brian laughed picking Devon up and walkin outside. Nicole followed him to the car, noticing he hadn’t said a word to her yet.
“And the winner is….” Britney Spears exclaimed. Nick grabbed Nicole’s hand. The award was for the most achievement, you know, the one they give to the old people, most work, so on. Little did the guys know, that they had been nominated, The Grammy’s wanted to spice it up, so they had an award for it this year. Kevin, Howie, AJ, Nick and Brian hadn’t made music together for awhile, but they still looked like a group. NSYNC, Santana, Madonna, Garth Brooks and BSB were nominated. Nick squeezed her hand tighter as Britney smiled up on stage.
“THE BACKSTREET BOYS!” Britney screamed. Nick grabbed her and picked her off the ground. He planted a kiss on her cheek and she hugged him tightly. She hugged AJ, Kevin, and Howie as they walked by her since she was on the end. Brian nodded to her and she nodded back, it seemed like a nice gesture for the fact that Brian had told AJ he had bought an engagement ring for Gina.
“I don’t know what to say” Kevin exclaimed, he was answered by screams, 5 years and girls still loved the guys.
“Maybe you should say ‘Maybe we should make another record” A Fan screamed. The guys laughed.
“First and foremost I want to thank god” Brian started their speech. Gina sat in her chair smiling the whole time, just watching Brian. Nicole smiled to herself; happy Brian had found someone like her. Sure, to other people she was a bitch, but she loved Brian, and that was all that mattered.
“Did you see Timberlake? He looked so stoned, that was too funny!” Nick laughed on the way home from the Grammy’s. The guys rented a cottage far away from the city and they were driving out there now in a limo.
“Did you see Britney? Can we say slut?” Angie, AJ’s girlfriend laughed. Kevin sat next to Nicole with Kristin; he being the only BSB to actually stay married, looking incredibly sexy for 34.
“So, where in Europe do you guys live?” Nicole asked.
“Milan, Spain” Kevin replied.
“Must be beautiful” Gina exclaimed.
“It sure is!” Kristin laughed. The car stopped and Nicole got out, Nick was behind her holding Kelly in his arms, Brian got out carrying Devon inside, both kids beat.
“We’ve got 5 rooms” Kevin exclaimed once everyone was inside, Nicole looked around oddly, wondering where the hell she was sleeping. Brian looked at her and smiled.
“Devon can sleep with Gina and I” He exclaimed. Nicole smirked; it was the first time that night he had actually spoken to her.
“I can take the couch” Nicole mumbled, walking over to it. AJ gave Nick a look and Nick walked over by Nicole.
“You and Kelly can take the bed, I’m used to sleeping on hard, uncomfortable things” Nick laughed. Nicole smiled.
“Nah” She laughed.
“I’ve got an idea!” AJ exclaimed. He walked over by Kelly and picked her up. “Angie and I sleep with Kelly and you 2 share the bed-Good? Good, Night guys”
“Night” Kevin exclaimed. After a few minutes, they were all alone in the living room.
“As long as you keep your hands on your side of the bed, This might work” Nicole joked. Nick smiled.
“I’ll behave” He replied, twitching his eyebrows.
“You better or I’ll scream!” Nicole joked, walking up the stairs.
Nick stared at Nicole as she slept. He had woken up at 6am, Went for a run and taken a shower, now he just stood there. Things went through his mind what to tell her. Maybe compliment her, tell her how he felt, He even thought of asking Brian what to say, but decided against it. He shrugged and went into the bathroom to dry his hair.
“What should I tell her?” Nick asked out loud.
“That she’s incredibly sexy” Nicole replied. Nick looked over at her, wondering how long she’d been up.
“When you’d get up?” Nick asked.
“When I heard the blow dryer go on, It woke me up” Nicole yawned. Nick thanked god she hadn’t seen him staring at her.
“So, what are you doing today? And who is this she you like? I could talk about how wonderful you are to her” Nicole laughed, looking at her messed up hair in the mirror.
“I’m wonderful?” Nick questioned.
“No, we can lie a little can’t we” Nicole laughed. “So, who is she?”
“AJ, told me to just go for it” Nick replied walking out of the bathroom
“Go for what?” Nicole asked, following him to the bed. Nick leaned over and pressed his lips onto hers. She pulled away at first, but slowly kissed back. The door opened and Brian walked in.
“I knocked but no one replied so….” Brian started. Nick stopped and pulled away.
“Brian, Hey, um, what’s up?” Nick asked. Brian didn’t say anything.
“Breakfast is downstairs” Brian muttered. Nicole bit her lip while Nick turned to her.
“So, want to get something to eat?” Nick asked. Nicole looked down at her PJ’s and her messy hair and shrugged.
“What the hell” She laughed uneasily.
Nicole and Nick walked downstairs; Nicole looked at everyone, knowing what they all were thinking.
“Are you going to eat or just stand there?” Gina snapped. Nicole smiled sweetly, then walked to the table and sat next to Nick.
“It’s Kelly’s birthday today isn’t it? Are you going over to your parents house?” AJ asked, feeding his face.
“Yeah, Nicole you want to come with Devon?” Nick asked. Nicole looked up and made eye contact with Brian, seeing his face she smiled.
“No, maybe I’ll just stay home” Nicole replied.
“No, I think you should go” Brian responded. Nicole looked up.
“Well, OK” Nicole replied.
Nick and Nicole drove to his parents’ house, with Kelly in the back. It was a 2-hour drive to the Carter ranch in California. Nick kept glancing at Nicole the whole ride there and when they parked, Nick just sat in the car.
“What’s the matter?” Nicole asked. Nick gave her a glance.
“Something is the matter?” Nick asked.
“You’ve been acting weird this whole drive” Nicole snapped.
“I like you Nicole, You know that, I just have something to tell you” Nick exclaimed.
“Your gay” Nicole joked, opening the car door. “Let’s go inside”
“Wait, this is important” Nick replied grabbing her arm “I have something to tell you before we go inside, you may not even want to talk to me after this”
“What?” Nicole asked, sitting back into the car.
