» CHAPTER SEVEN: ROSES ARE RED «

Allison followed Nick into the kitchen, taking a glimpse or two of his oh, so nice butt. Allison sighed, she never thought that she would meet Nick. She always wanted to, but she never thought that it could REALLY happen to her. She helped Nick get out  the strawberries and other ingredients for the daiquiri.

“When do you think that Valerie will wake up?” Allison asked Nick, just to make conversation.

“I don’t know, I hope really soon, cause AJ won’t leave her side.”

“Well, I think that Valerie would like that” Allison said with a smile.

“What do you mean?” Nick asked.

“Oh, Valerie wants AJ so bad,” replied Allison, handing Nick the strawberries.

“I see….” said Nick. He turned on the blender thinking that he should talk to AJ about this whole Valerie liking him thing. He knew that when someone likes him, that AJ loves to turn on the charm.

Nick poured the drinks into the glasses, and brought them out to the guys. They started talking, but they were interrupted by Valerie and AJ’s laughing.

“Can you believe that he said that to me?” said AJ.

“No, but that is so funny,” said Valerie with tears starting to develop in her eyes (Author's Note: For those who can’t relate, some people start to cry when they laugh really hard).

“Well look who’s awake!” said Nick, nudging Allison in the arm.

“Oh, guys I didn’t know that you were here! Valerie, this is Brian, Howie, Kevin, and Nick….. but I guess that you already knew that” said AJ, pointing to the guys.

“Hi,” said Valerie in total shock. Wow, I just met all of the Backstreet Boys, and Allison is sitting next to Nick Carter drinking a Strawberry Daiquiri…. I have to be dreaming!

“Valerie’s mom is coming for dinner tonight,” said AJ, who was still holding Valerie’s hand and of course that got the other guys curious. AJ led Valerie over to the last unoccupied couch, then sat down with her. Valerie was being very quiet, she was amazed of how AJ decorated his house. It’s so cool, she thought.  She was sitting on a zebra skin couch; there were Piccasso paintings everywhere; the whole room was just how Valerie dreamed it being…. and more.

“So, how are you feeling Valerie?” asked Brian.

“Well, pretty good , but my head still hurts,” said Valerie, putting a hand on her forehead.

“I’ll get some ice,” said AJ, walking to the kitchen. He came back in a few minutes with an ice pack and put it on Valerie’s forehead.

“Thanks,” said Valerie, who was enjoying being pampered by AJ very much.

“No problem,” said AJ sitting down next to Valerie.

“Well, we better go,” said Kevin looking at his watch.

“Where are you party animals going tonight?” asked Nick.

“Clubbing,” said Howie with excitement.

“Have fun!” said AJ, who was happy that they were going to get some privacy. They led the guys to the door; said all their “glad to meet yous”; closed the door and walked back into the living room.

“Well, do you guys wanna go for a swim in my pool?” asked AJ.

“But we don’t have our swimsuits,” said Allison.

Nick whispered into her ear, “Don’t give him any ideas.”

“Nick, I heard that…. no, but my ex’s left some of their clothes here, I never let them have it back, since I paid for them…….. damn that Amanda” said AJ. Valerie, Nick, and Allison exchanged glances. “Sorry about that.  Anyways, there’s ton of different styles and sizes, I think that we could find the perfect one for both of you” said AJ hopefully.

“Well….” said Valerie, looking at Allison to see if it would be O.K.; Allison nodded. “Sure!”

“Well, I’ll show you where they’re at,” said AJ. He led them upstairs and down a long hallway to the end of the house; he opened the door and showed them into a beautiful, and very large room. There were pretty flower prints on everything, it looked like a room for a woman.

'It’s probably Amanda’s old room; but I doubt that she ever slept in here' thought Valerie sadly. In the corner of the room there was a little dresser with a vase of fresh red roses. Valerie went over to the vase and smelt the flowers.

AJ walked up behind her and whispered in her ear, “They’re beautiful, aren’t they?” His breath tickled her ear.

“Yeah, red roses are my favorite flower, they’re so …. so…. perfect and pretty” Valerie whispered back, still staring at the flowers.

“Not as pretty and perfect as you,” said AJ, kissing her head lightly. He took in a whiff of her hair, 'It smells so good' he thought.

Valerie felt her knees go weak, she could bearly hold herself up. AJ was totally sweeping her off her feet. Valerie smiled, but she felt herself blush so she walked over to Allison who was checking out the balcony. Her heart was beating so fast and she wanted to tell her friend about what just happened, but AJ came out and brought them to the large walk-in closet that was next to the bed.

“Well, here’s all the clothes. The swimsuits are down there” said AJ, pointing to the far end of the closet.

“Thanks” said Allison.

“I’ll leave you two girls alone so you can get changed; do you need anything else?” asked AJ, smiling. Allison looked over to Valerie, who said nothing. She was just staring down at the floor; her face looked a little red.

Allison decided to speak up, since AJ wanted an answer. “Umm, that’s all, thanks again,” said Allison, who was still looking at Valerie.

“Take your time, and if you see anything else that you want to keep, take it, I definitely don’t need it,” said AJ walking out of the room and closing the door behind him.
