The guys were doing good. They had finally trained themselves not to be distracted by fans and to stare straight ahead, stone like, but these five girls in the front row each had on their fave colors, but fans did that all the time, but these were in tube tops no doubt, and they were doing all they could do distract the guys. The guys tried so hard not to look at them, but out of the corner of their eyes, four of the girls looked oddly familiar. The guys finally gave in and glanced down and all five of their mouths dropped open. The girls laughed and motioned for them to close their mouths and continue on. The guys finally did and caught up to the dancers in the next spot. The girls just stood there laughing their butts off and high-fiving each other!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the guys went for a second quick wardrobe change, the girls were still giggling cause throughout all of "Larger Than Life" they were still suprised. Howie and Nick almost totally screwed up their introduction rap! Soon, Q came up to the girls.
"Ladies, the guys wanted me to deliver this note to you."
"Thanx, Q," Kris said as she and the others read the note that said:
"What the? How'd you get here?"-AJ
"Hey babes, I'm suprised to see you here-how?"-Howie
"I'm glad ya'll made it," -Kevin
"Kris, how in the world? How come you didn't tell me?"-Nick
"I have the same questions as the rest, but all I've got to say is, Q will find you after the show and bring you backstage-Love ya,"-Brian
The girls were gonna reply, but Q had rushed to a group of fans trying to rush the stage! Wow! People were crazy about the boys!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the boys disappeared below the stage after "I Want It That Way," Q came up to the girls and had them follow him. They got over the baracades, signs and all, and followed him to the backstage area. He then lead them down a long hall, then made a quick right, walked a ways, turned left, then right, then left and they were finally in an empty corridor headed towards a door. They exited the building and entered a limo out back. They expected teh boys to be in it, but it was empty.
"Where's the boys?" Kris asked.
"They usually sneak in a van and go back to the hotel asap. They tried to wait, but the fans were in full force tonight. So, we're headed to the hotel," Q explained as they drove past some fans who were screaming at the limo how much they loved the BSB, thinking it was the guys in the limo. The rest of the ride was in silence. The girls were all so excited! They were gonna see their men after a month, finally! A month was too long!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They entered teh hotel through the front since all the fans were around back expecting the "limo" to go back there. They were quickly escorted up to the boys lounge, the room that adjoined all the other rooms. They opened the doors and each girl rushed into her boyfriend's arms. All shared a passionate kiss. Kevin and Dawn were left standing alone.
"Dawn, I presume," he said as he stared at the pretty girl in front of him.
"Yes, nice to finally meet you. You're show was great!" Dawn said eyeing the "eye candy" in front of her. Kevin changed into a black wife-beater and track pants. He was so gorgeous, she thought she'd die right there.
"Thanks! It's nice to finally meet you too," he said as they shook hands. He didn't let go until the couples broke away, then he dropped her hand, embarrassed. She just smiled at him.
"No need to introduce us," Kevin said.
"We already took care of it," Dawn smiled looking into his beautiful green eyes. Everyone apologized and then the boys quickly asked the girls why they were there. They explained the story about Kris' parents and all.
"Speaking of my parents, I need to call them," Kris said as she pulled out her phone to let her parents know where she was and when they'd be home. She was an adult, barely, but she felt the need to let her parents know this so they didn't worry.
"Hey, hon, how about everyone staying over here?" her mom asked.
"Mom! Are you serious?"
"Yeah, I'm sure the guys would like to get away from that monotonous hotel room and get a good home-cooked meal and a comfy bed. Beside, your father and I want to meet them."
"Um, okay, we'll be home in a bit," Kris said before she hung up her phone. That was so unusaul of her mom to tell her to bring a bunch of guys over, especially to spend the night. "Um, well, if you guys wanna stay at my house, my mom's got a home cooked meal and better places to sleep than a hotel bed, even though one of you may have to take the floor or something. She's like to meet ya'll."
"Cool!" all the guys said at the propect of finlly have a good, home cooked meal and better scenery than the dumb hotel. They all went to start getting their stuff, but the girls pushed them back down and said, "What!?" at the same time. So, Kris proceeded to tell the whole story. The girls were extremely confused, but since the guys would be a lot happier and comfortable, tehy went along. The boys told their manager where they were going and they all gathered their stuff and left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Great meal, Mrs. Lowell," AJ said.
"Yes, it's been a while since our last home cooked meal," Kevin said.
"MMMMHHHHHMMMM," the rest of the boys agreed with their mouth stuffed with food. Everyone laughed. After dinner and clean up, which the guys pitched in on, which immediately won Kris' mom over, everyone sat around talking with Kris' parents for a while, then everyone decided to go to bed. All the girls were gonna pile up in Kris' room while Brian, Nick, and AJ took the three twin beds in the guest room next to Kris'. Kevin and Howie took the pull out beds from the love seat and sofa (both had hide-a-beds) in the livingroom.
As Kris helped her mom get extra blankets, she asked, "Mom why in the world are you letting our boyfriends stay over-night?"
"Well, the truth is, I really did wanna meet them , butI was in the magazine isle of the store today trying to figure out who the BSB where and which one was Nick and this girl walked by and commented that she felt so bad for musicians like them cause they rarely got good, home cooked meals or their own beds to sleep in. We started talking and I figured I would ask the boys over."
"Did you get her name?"
"Yeah, what was it, Arianna? No, honestly, hon, I don't remember, it'll come to me tomorrow. I'm going to bed."
"K-goodnight mom," Kris said as she dropped the guys blankets off and headed to her room. She told the girls the story and they were all confused. They wondered who could have said it, but they just blew it off to a concerned fan just passing on info to anybody (Note-I do that sometimes!LOL!). They were kinda happy it happened.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Omigosh, remember this?" Dee asked as she held up a BigBird doll.
"Oh, yeah!" Kris laughed.
"This is the one I said had a dent in his head and you thought I said something else!" (Note-Kristin really has a BigBird stuffed thing, and it has a dent in his head, this really happened! Remember Kris? It was too funny!)
"Yeah!" Kris said as they all laughed, remembering that night.
"Hey, girls, I know I'm gonna sound sappy, but I miss Nick, let's go see them now!" Kris said.
"Yeah, I miss my Howie so much!" Shelly exclaimed.
"Yeah, let's go," the others said. They rushed out the door and piled into the "Neon" they rented, drove to the arena, and walked to the back.
"Okay, that's them. Don't you just wanna smack them for being with you men?" Angel asked a group of very, very, fanatical fans. (Note-you know, the type that have to marry BSB or they just can't live?) She didn't even have to say anything else and the fans were off after the girls. They began yelling, "Nick's mine," "Stay away from AJ" (that rhymes, hehe) "D's mine!" and other things and throwing things at the girls. The girls ran as fst as they could to the door with the fans on their heels. They reached the door, raced inside, and slammed it shut with the fans screaming and pounding on it. The boys heard the commotion and ran into the hallway.
"What's wrong?" they asked.
"Just our first 'fan' encounter" Shelly said. The boys asked if they were okay and they hugged them, even Kevin hugged Dawn, then he drug her into the dressing room and shut the door. (Ch. 9 continued)
