“Hi, is this Bethany?”
“Yeah.”
“Wow! I’ve been trying to find the guts to call you for the past week. This is Julie, John Clark’s daughter.”
“Oh, hi.”
“Hi, how are you?”
“I’m ok, how about you?”
“Ok, I’m ok. I called to thank you for the autograph.”
“Oh, it was no problem. Nick doesn’t mind making his fans happy.”
“I really appreciate it; I love BSB so much and when Daddy came home and gave it me, I was so happy.”
“Well, I’m glad that it made you happy, and I’ll be sure to tell Nick that you called.”
“Oh, is he there right now?”
“No, he’s not. I’m sorry.”
“Oh ok, well thanks so much. Bye now.”
“Bye Julie.” I hung up. “That was sweet of her to call,” I said to myself. I sighed and walked into the living room to watch call JJ. I picked it up and dialed the number; it rang twice then AJ answered.
“AJ speaking.”
“Hey AJ, this is Bethany. Can I talk to JJ?”
“Oh, hey Beth, hold on a sec.” A minute later, JJ picked the phone up.
“Hey Carter!”
“McLean!”
“So, how’s my second favorite person?”
“I’m good, but bored. Can you come over and keep me company?”
“Sure, but where’s Nick?”
“He took Aaron to play basketball. And on our anniversary too!”
“Oh, I forgot, happy anniversary. I think it’s sweet that he wants to spend time with his brother. But, I’m sure he has plans for later. I’ll be over in five minutes. Oh, can I bring AJ with me?”
“Sure, why not?”
“Ok, cool. Be right over.” We hung up and I turned on the TV. Then five minutes later, they pulled up in the driveway and a few seconds later walked in the door. “Hey Beth, we’re here!”
“YAY! I’m so happy!” I said sarcastically.
“Very funny,” JJ said.
“So, why’d Nick leave you all alone?” AJ asked sitting down next to me.
“I guess he wanted to spend time with Aaron; they’re brothers what can you expect?”
“I’m not sure considering I don’t have siblings.”
“I know AJ, but you have seven people that are close enough.
“Awww, I feel so loved!” he said pretending to cry. JJ and I laughed. We talked for awhile until Nick drove up the driveway.
“Yay! Nick’s home!” I said getting up off the couch and walking towards the garage to meet Nick. I had just opened the door when Nick and Aaron got out of the car.
“Hey Beautiful,” Nick said hugging me.
“Hey Handsome,” I said kissing him on the nose. “I missed you, so JJ and AJ came over.”
“Oh ok.”
“Well, did you and Aaron have fun?”
“Yeah, except Nick beat me,” Aaron said walking in the house.
“Nicky, you should let him win; he’s littler than you are and he’s your brother.”
“Yeah, but you’re littler than me and you’re my girlfriend, and I don’t let you win,” he said walking down the hall. I gave him a look.
“Ha ha, you’re so funny,” I said rolling my eyes. We walked in the living room where JJ and AJ were sitting.
“Hey man, I heard that you beat Aaron,” AJ said.
“Yeah, but it was close; I just have a slight height advantage.” We all laughed.
“Well, we’re glad you're home; that means we can leave,” AJ said.
“Alexander James!” JJ said giving him a death look.
“What? I was kidding!”
“Good, I hope so,” she said. “So, what are we going to do?” JJ asked.
“Well, Aaron and I have to take showers, so we’d better do that now,” Nick said taking off his shirt.
“Oh! Take it all off!” I said with a smile. JJ laughed. It was an inside joke. Nick looked at me funny. “I was kidding, go take your shower so I can hug you.”
“You can hug me now!” he said giving me a huge hug.
“Eww! Now, I have Nick sweat all over me!”
“Is that a bad thing?” Nick said giving me a pouty face.
“No, now go take your shower or I’ll be forced to kiss you,” I said with an evil grin.
“Come on Nick, let’s go, I don’t need to see this,” Aaron said taking his brother’s arm.
“Hurry back,” I said as they walked back to the bathrooms.
“What was the take it all off thing about?” AJ asked.
“Well, it’s a long story, but you know how you lift up your shirt at concerts to make the crowd scream?” JJ said.
“Yeah.”
“Well, whenever you do that I scream ‘Take it all off!’”
“That’s kinda scary...”
“Yeah I know, but it’s funny.”
“Ok whatever.” We sat there talking until one of the showers stopped.
“I wonder who that is?” JJ asked.
“It’s Nick, ‘cause he’s got incentive to be quick,” I said smiling. JJ laughed. Then a few minutes later Nick walked into the room.
“Hey, I’m back!” he said sitting down next to me.
“I missed you Nicky,” I said.
“I missed you too, Bethy.”
“So, what do we want to do?”
“Well, what time is it?”
“It’s 5:30pm.”
“Oh ok, well I’m a little hungry.”
“Me too,” JJ said. It turned out that I wasn’t the only one, every one else was too, so now we had to wait for Aaron.
“Why don’t you go see what’s taking him so long,” I said.
“Oh ok, I’ll be back, and try not to miss me too much.”
“I’ll try!” He walked down the hall and into the other bathroom and then came back.
“He’s washing his hair.”
“Ok, so that’s what’s taking him so long?”
“Well, don’t tell him I told you this, but he has a new girlfriend and he wants to be extra clean for her!”
“Awww! That’s so sweet!”
“It’s cute,” JJ said
“Ok, so is he hungry?”
“Yeah, he said he’d be out soon.”
“Ok, so does he want to go to dinner with us? Or are we dropping him off at Mom’s?” It was strange; I’d been dating Nick so long I started to call Jane “Mom”. She didn’t mind and was actually flattered that I called her mom. It had become sort of a habit actually.
“Well, I’m not sure, let me go ask.” Nick turned around and walked back to the bathroom, then came back and said, “Yeah he does and he wants to bring his girl with him.”
“That’s so sweet, who is she?”
“Um, her name is Michelle and she knew Aaron before he was really famous.”
“Cool.” Nick sat back down and we talked about where we wanted to go.
Then Aaron came out and said, “I’m ready, where are we going?” He was wearing khaki pants, a blue golf shirt, and way too much cologne.
“Um, Aaron, aren’t you wearing a little too much of that?” Nick asked.
Aaron looked confused. “I thought that you were supposed to wear a lot.”
“Nope, just a little, now you smell like gravity.”
“Sorry, I didn’t know.”
“It’s ok, you’ll learn.”
“So, where are we going?”
“Well, how hungry are we?” We were all starving. “Ok, well Aaron why don’t you call Michelle and see if she wants to come with us?”
Aaron blushed. “Ok.” He walked into the kitchen and called her. He came back five minutes later. “She said that she’d love to come and that she wants to know where we’re going.”
“Well, tell her that we’re going to the Club and we’ll pick her up in fifteen minutes.”
“Ok.” He went back in the kitchen and told her the plans. The he walked out and said, “Nick, why are we going to the Club? I thought we only went there for special occasions.”
“Aaron, today is a special day. Don’t you remember!? Today is the anniversary of the day Bethany and I met; we saw each other and we just clicked.”
“Oh, I’m sorry Nick, I can’t believe I forgot!”
“Don’t worry, just go get dressed.”
“Ok.” He ran to change.
“Well I guess we’d better get dressed, as well.” We all got up and JJ and AJ went to his house to change, and Nick, Aaron, and I were going to pick up Michelle and meet the others at the restaurant. When we were done we looked great. See, the Club is a VERY fancy restaurant so we had to look nice. I was wearing a long white sleeveless dress, with a v-neck and a X in the back. Nick was wearing a black blazer with a maroon button shirt and black leather pants. Aaron was wearing a white top, red leather pants, and a black jacket. We all got in the car and drove to pick up Michelle.
