Sipping the last bit of her French Vanilla, Nikki contemplated her pure luck. It was all happening so fast. She would have never thought, not even that morning when she first saw him in the lobby, that it would go this far. The crowd of obsessed fans had grown outside the café window and he was getting antsy waiting for the cab to arrive. He was worried of her safety first, such a gentleman!
He asked her to come with him, wherever he ended up going. She hoped it would be at the arena so she would have a chance to see the other guys…Nick especially! Hearing a soft beep, she looked across the table at her ticket to success as he checked his beeper.
“Brian beeped me a ‘where are you, meet us there.’ He must have read my mind,” he smiled as he looked into her eyes. He was so into her. She could feel it. This was good. Plus, the beep meant he had to go to the arena now…meaning she got to go! She could hardly contain her delight as she saw a special cab pull up. A member of BSB security was in the front seat. He ran in and signaled for them to hurry.
They rushed into the cab, fighting off grabbing hands who tried to pull themselves along. The doors slammed and they were off. An army of adolescents followed close behind as the security man barked directions to the cabby. They slipped through sidestreets and alleys to lose most of the girls. All the while, they kept on their course to the arena. Upon arrival, they were rushed down to the artist entrance and she soon found herself in the secret world of “behind the scenes.”
They were pushed into the center of the arena where the guys were already practicing. At the break between songs, Brian rushed over to them and asked him what happened.
“Man, I woke up and you were gone. So much for the trustworthy roomie waking me up at dawn! They harassed me all the way down here ‘cause I was the last up. Plus, I had no clue where you went!” Bri joked with a relieved look in his eyes. Noticing her for the first time, his eyebrows raised as he said “hmm…I see!”
The two guys laughed and the morning’s events were explained. Brian
looked at her with a smile and said “I hope you’re as nice as he thinks
you are!” He then turned to call the other guys over. At last! This
was
the moment she had longed for. She would finally meet Nick…
