Alesha pulled into the driveway, yawning. "Ack. Shoulda stayed there," she mumbled. Glancing at her watch she groaned. "2:30? Ungh. I have to be up at 8 for my meeting with Denise," she whined laying her head back on the neck rest. "I shoulda left at midnight like I was going to," she mumbled to herself as she gathered her stuff. "But noooo. Had to listen to AJ and dance until I had holes in my shoes," she said shaking her head. "Oh well, knowing Denise, she'll only talk to me for about an hour and then she'll let me go." Glancing over at the big house, when she got out of her car, she noticed the light in the study was on. Wishing she could go over and talk to him, she sighed and walked to the door of the beach house. Taking the note off the door, she unfolded it.
Taelen's passed out over here. Hope ya don't mind if he stays. If it's a problem, give me a call and I'll bring him over. - Nick
Unlocking the door, Alesha crumpled the note up and tossed it on the couch along with her purse and bags. Slipping out of her shoes, she walked through the dark house to her room, tossing her shoes in the corner. Walking in the restroom, she undressed and climbed into the shower.
"Ungh," Nick groaned scanning through the material on the web page he'd found. "How rude," he murmured reading some of the stuff that had been written. It as a page dedicated to the unification of Backstreet Boys fans in an effort to get rid of what they had dubbed "the Backstreet Hos". These girls went out of their way to find any gossip on Leighanne, Alesha, Lori, Rebecca, and Carrie; twisting it all around into something negative. Nick shook his head in disgust as he read some of the messages of hate that were posted on the board. Just as he was getting ready to close the window, he noticed an entirely different type of message posted.
IN SUPPORT OF THE WOMEN IN OUR BOYS' LIVES:
This is just a quick note to all of you BSBGF bashers. I have met and hung out with ALL FIVE of these girls and have to say that ya'll are so full of SHITE. These are some of the sweetest most unselfish people you will ever meet. The guys deserve props for their choices. Granted, the have all had their moment of ignorance when it came to choosing a chick (umm…Sarah, Samantha, Amanda, and Beth are some names that come to mind). But Alesha, Leighanne, Lori, Carrie, and Rebecca are NOTHING like the previous BSBGF. We should be happy that the guys have found significant others who love them for them, and go out of their way to support them and US…the FANS. My best friend and I have created a page in SUPPORT of the BACKSTREET GIRLS. Visit it. It could change your mind. ** takes a bow and steps down off from her soap box** Terra and Kim www.xoom.com/************
Nick chuckled and shook his head. Clicking on the hyperlink, he waited for Terra and Kim's page to load. He smiled as the first picture appeared. It was one taken at the part of all the guys with their girls. The only problem being AJ was next to Carrie who was next to Kevin who was next to Lori. Nick shook his head as he realized AJ and Lori were smiling at each other rather than the camera. Scrolling down the page, he became increasingly impressed and grateful for the dedication the two girls took in promoting respect for the females in the guys' lives. He hit the email button at the bottom of the page and sent a quick note to Terra expressing his gratitude for what they were doing.
Rolling over and glancing at her alarm clock, Alesha sighed. It was 5:00 and she knew that going to sleep now would be pointless. There'd be no way she'd wake up at 7:00. Crawling out of bed, she wandered over to her computer turning it on. Logging onto the net, she opened her email. She'd long since abandoned all but two of her mailing lists, relieving herself of the frustration of all that deleting. She smiled as she seen and email from her new acquaintance DarkStar.
Greetings and Salutations Ms. Celtieon…
Just thought I'd leave you a little note telling you I was thinking of you. I was also wondering what the air speed velocity of an unladed swallow might be, but that's another topic all together. I missed talking to you. I'm sure you were out having fun, though, which makes me happy. Talk to you later.
Always and forever…DarkStar
Alesha laughed at his Monty Python reference, shaking her head as she hit the reply button. "What a sweetie," she said waiting for the composition page to load. Right before it did, her ICQ flashed with a message.
darkstar: hey stranger
Alesha chatted with DarkStar for a while, before logging off from the computer to get ready for her meeting with Denise. She smiled thinking about him. He was such a mystery…an enigma that just appeared and disappeared without warning. It made her happy to talk to him, sad to leave. Sighing, she shook her head, grabbing her purse, her notebook, and her discs heading out the door to her car.
