Brian honked the horn of the tour bus again and by then there were a total of maybe 50 people on my front lawn. All the crews were there filming the bus approching and my reaction. All the nervousness of a few moments ago was gone. I don't know. Seeing Brian and the guys having fun sort of relaxed me and I wasn't nervous anymore. The bus pulled up in front of my house and Brian tried to park it but hard as he tried he ended up blocking the whole road, I don't think my neighbors minded though. I was surrounded by reporters but I wasn't hearing them. All I could focus on was Nick, Kevin (who finally let go of the driver, Brian, Howie, and AJ. They got of the bus and were swarmed by reporters and photographers. I was almost blinded by the continuous flashing of camera flashes. The guys looked soooo good. Nick was wearing khaki shorts that went down to his knees, a tight white muscle shirt with a short sleeved green flannel over it. AJ was wearing a yellow basketball jersey and black shorts down to his calfs. His hair was still in those dreadlocks that I think look so good on him. Brian was wearing a navy blue gap t-shirt and khakis like Nick's. Kev was wearing one of his gray 'phat farm' shirts and blue jean shorts, and Howie was wearing a tight black shirt with a silver zipper in the middle of the top. They all looked sooo good. I turned around and whispered to Megan "I'm so glad I don't have a boyfriend and I can look at them without feeling guilty" she smiled a knowing smile and whispered back, "Don't do anything I wouldn't do". We both smiled knowingly. I looked up again and there were those five gorgeous guys.
Nick came over first and one by one they all hugged me and I hugged them back. I was so happy that I felt like I was foating in mid-air. It all seemed soo surreal. I must have had a really big smile on my face cause Nick and Kevin started giggling. They also hugged Megan. AJ must have realized that she was stearing at him cause he gave her an extra long hug and took pictures with her. I had never seen her so happy as she was then. I posed with the guys (I stood in the middle and we had our arms around each other) for what seemed like a million pictures. But I didn't mind. When they had their arms around me I felt so elated. I thought that this is probably the absolute best day of my life. Then we took some REALLY goofy pictures. We made a cheerleading pyramid and I was all the way at the top and Nick decided it would be really funny if he moved(he Kevin and AJ were at the bottom) and made me Brian and Howie fall. We tumbled down like a sac of potatoes, and we all started laughing. Even the camera crews and my neighbors were laughing. The five of us decide that later that day, before we left on the bus we were going to get back at him. Brian came up to me while Nick was talking to my parents and said "When everybody else is gone and before we have dinner were going to throw Nick into the pool (he smiled like a four year old planning to put a lizard in the teachers desk, his blue eyes lit up like the sky), your parents and the camera people know" " you got it" I replied with that same gayety.
You see the boys were going to spend the whole morning there. The camera crews and papparrazzi would leave at around 11:00 AM. We'd all have lunch at my house and then we'd leave. We were finally in the house and the crews kept taking pictures. There were so many people in my house that my dog hid under the couch. AJ thought that he was the greatest dog in the world and my dog immediately liked AJ, which is strange since it usually takes him a while to like strangers. Before the local and paper crews finally left the boys sat me, and Megan, and my whole family down in the liveing room and sang an arranged a-cappella version of 'I'll go Anywhere for you'. The camera's were going off like wild fire. the local and paper crews finally left and the only other people there was the BSB crew that would be taping the whole trip (sort of like MTV's The Real World). I was afraid that my dad wouldn't like the guys but he and Kevin started talking about airplanes and cars, and they hit it off. I was glad cause I didn't feel like hearing my dad nagging me all the time. I showed the guys around the house. I had completely forgotten that I have this HUGE poster of just Nick's face in my room. When you open the door its the first thing you see. I opened the door to show the guys my room, actually my mom wanted to show them around. She has this thing were she loves showing people our house. When she opened the door to my room..there were Nick's gorgeous eyes staring the guys right in the face. They all started laughing , but I was mortified with embarrassment. The other four guys, (I'll abbreviate the names to the first letter cause it gets redundant to repeatr them over and over), B,K,A,and H were like "oh I guess we can see who your favorite is?" " But you didn't look at the other wall" I said- my cheeks burning red from emberassement. The guys walked in and saw that over the head of my bed I had another HUGE poster of the whole goup, like the picture from the cover of the 'Everybody' single. We laughed some more and then the guys wanted to sign my posters. In a flash I took them off the wall and out of their casings. We went to the kitchen and they whipped out permanent black markers. They all signed both posters and wrote little notes above their signatures. My mom announced that luch would be ready in twenty minutes.
I went over to AJ and said "so..when are we getting back at Nick for the stunt?" my eyes were beaming with mischief. Right about now..." I heard Kevins beautiful voice right behind my ear. I turned around and his face was 3 inches away from mine, I'm 5'11" so our heights are very close. Suddenly I felt his arms sweep my legs out from under me and in a gasp I reached for his neck because I though I was about to fall to the ground. The next thing I know my dad and Howie are holding the door to the porch open and Kevin is holding me completely off the ground in his arms. Everyone in this room has this mischievous look in their eyes. Kevin is still holding me and we are in my backyard by the pool. Nick and Brian are standing with my mom, Megan, and brother by the pool. I looked at Nick and half laughing, half pleading say "you guys wouldn't...". They both look at me and giggle. I turn around and look at Kevin and say 'Kevin come on..' smiling he looks at me and says 'your parents said you here so nervous that you were sweating and they suggested that you might need to cool off.." The next thing I know Kevin let's go of me and I am falling into my backyard pool. I come up from underwater and look at all of them smiling with pleasure. With one big sweep I splash them all and it immediately turns into a water fight. Needless to say that I, Megan. Nick, Kevin, Howie, AJ, and Brian end up with our hair and clothes completely soaked and laughing so much that our stomachs hurt. One thing I can say for sure they look REALLY HOT wet.
