“ So where exactly are we going?” I asked as we made our way through the terminal.
“ Well we have a show to do in Vancouver then one over in Toronto then over to New York for a television appearance -” stated AJ.
“ A show in Vancouver and Toronto? A television appearance in New York?”
“ Yeah,” he said as he looked at me strangely. “ Is something wrong?”
“ Well, when I was told about this trip I wasn’t really given the chance to ask what it was for or never was I allowed to know who was in charge of it.”
“ AJ, we seem to have a problem if she wasn’t told what is going to go on for the past eighty weeks.” said Nick
“ Just chill Nick, I’ll fill her in on the information about the tour.” he said extending his arm around my shoulders.
“ So is it just the two of you that’s going on the trip or should I say tour?”
“ Nope, there’s Me, AJ, Brian, Kevin, and Howie.”
“ Along with the bodyguards, management, etc etc.”
“ Ok I have no idea what you two are talking about.”
“ Don’t worry about it, we’ll discuss it on the plane.”
After settling in on the plane, it wasn’t tell them that I met the most nicest and most respect gentlemen I’ve ever met. Meeting Kevin, Brian, and Howie seemed so unreal almost as if it was too good to be true that I was actually standing before them. Unlike everyone else I met in life, these five individuals welcomed me in with open arms. The vibe I got from that felt so extraordinaire and gave me the feeling of actually being wanted. Never have I ever felt so comfortable with anyone I just met. Listening to everything they had to tell me to fill me in on what I wasn’t told in the beginning and showing me proof of who they were and what they accomplished in their career, it wasn’t till then that I really felt like a fool for not knowing who they were. Going platinum all over the world, selling millions upon millions of albums, being on just about every TV show, how could I have missed not knowing who they are? In a way, I feel honored that they chose me to be their personal photographer to go on tour with them. However should I really say THEY, when I really think that the person behind all of this and who had requested for my personal assistants on tour was none other than Alex. One must wonder why he chose me out of the employees in the business and why he’d make an offer my father couldn’t resist? Hopefully one day I’ll know the truth behind all this. Dating back on the events that took place from the airport yesterday to this morning, something from within made me look at Alex in a whole different perspective as to how I looked at the rest of the guys. By the way he woke me at the airport by saying, ‘wake up beautiful’ to way he looked at Nick and I this morning. His facial expression sensed to me that he was some what jealous of Nick or perhaps a concerned about me being alone with Nick. I don’t think I’ll ever fully understand why he had that expression on his face, till the time for me understanding it comes into place. It boggles my mind when I attempt to find a reason for his awkward behavior. Better yet, it’s not my place for me to know what’s going on in his mind. Trying to put aside the thoughts of this morning, I still find myself feeling quite dumbfounded about me not knowing who Alex and Nick are. Hopefully that moment will travel on allowing me to get to know the real personalities behind the Backstreet Boys.

“ Hey, how’s it going?” asked AJ as he took a seat next to me.
“ Well considering the fact that I hate flying and that I just now found out who you are, I’d say I could be better.”
“ Hang in there, you’re not the only one that we’ve met that hasn’t known who we are.”
“ Oh good, I thought I was the only one.”
“ Personally, I liked it when that happens.”
“ Really, why?” I asked
“ I don’t know. For me I guess, I feel as if I can talk to the person a lot more easier and it gives me a chance to be myself. With fans who want to meet me just because of who I am, don’t get me wrong it’s a great feeling, I just feel as if that’s the only reason why they want to meet me. When I’m talking to someone like you who doesn’t know anything about me, it’s another great feeling cause all I wanna do is spend as much time as I can with that person so that I can get to know them while they’ll be able to do the same.”
“ So I take it you’ll be spending a lot of time with me then?” I joked.
“ I was just using you as an example, but if that’s what you than it can be arranged very easily.”
“ I think we’ll be spending enough time together Alex, but if I ever need to have your company around, I’ll be sure to let you know.”
“ Speaking of you, you’re the only one other than my mother who calls me Alex. Everyone else calls me AJ.”
“ What does AJ stand for anyways.”
“ Alexander James.”
“ Oh I see.”
“ Just please don’t call me Alexander.” he laughed.
“ Why is that?”
“ Alexander just sounds too dorky to me. You can call me Alex, but never Alexander in public.”
“ Ok, if that’s what you want Alexander,” I stated. “ I mean Alex.”
“ That’s more better, Shell.”
“ Now I don’t know about being called Shell.”
“ Why not, it fits perfectly!”
“ The ocean is the first thing I think of when hearing that, but then I have to remind myself, ‘Oh, it’s me their calling’ it’s just a little too weird for me.”
“ But I’m letting you call me Alex, it’s only fair if you let me call you Shell.”
“ And it’s fair for you act like a child about this?” I laughed.
“ A child? But-”
