Last night Stacey and Nick got back together, but she still was a bit weary of him. Stacey hadn't told anyone but during the time while her and Nick broke up, her and Justin Timberlake of *N Sync went out on a few dates. She only did it to piss Nick of for cheating on her, since he was in their rival band, but Stacey begun to like Justin a little. They woke up in the same room on the bed. Nick was in an excellent mood, but Stacey was still mad at him for cheating on her.
"Morning." Nick said rolling over and putting an arm around her, "it's so nice to wake up next to you again. I just wish we hadn't lost that month."
"Oh Nick, speaking about that month. I have something to tell you."
"What?" he asked
"I'm pregnant."
"Really?!" Nick looked shocked
"No!" she yelled looking at him weird
"Oh, scared me for a sec." said Nick, actually sound a bit disappointed.
"Any ways, um, while we were broken up, I kind of, oh never mind."
"What?" he asked
"Well, I kind of went out with Justin Timberlake to get back at you for sleeping with that skanky bar tender. Sorry." Nick looked at her with hurt eyes. He knew he did deserve it, but he still was jealous and felt betrayed.
"I suppose I deserve that. Did you..."
"No!" Stacey yelled
"I just went out with him. Only because I was mad at you. But, he thinks, he thinks I like him."
"Do you?"
"Um, a little, but not the way I like you. He's not boyfriend material. Kind of like a sister." said Stacey. They both started laughing.
"You're not upset are you?" Stacey asked
"No." answered Nick, "A little jealous. It's kind of weird to think of the love of my life going out with another guy."
"Now you know how I felt. Imagine feeling the exact same way but a million times worse!" said Stacey, "Hurts, don'it?"
"I'm sorry. Can we drop this? I don't want to look at the past. Just OUR future. Together."
"I'm still angry with you, but, I just can't be without you. The past year, I was sooo happy, then when we broke up, I was miserable. You're like cocaine, once you start it's really hard to quit!" They hugged each other so tight that they could get hit by a tornado and not come apart. Nick and Stacey missed each other for that month that they broke up.
"Hey the Grammy's are tomorrow night. Will you be my date?" asked Nick
"Okay, I'm sure I can borrow a dress from one of the shows." Finally the night of the Grammy's came. The Backstreet Boys were going to sing an old favorite 'Everybody' (Backstreet's Back) and *N Sync was planned to perform right after them. Stacey had managed to get a dress. It was a beautiful slimming pastel green dress. They had all just performed (including Stacey, since she was one of the dancers), when *N Sync walked in going to get changed into their costumes. Justin yelled to Stacey giving her the elevator up and down look,
"Hey baby, was'sup? Man YOU ARE full blown hottie. You sure you don't want a piece a this?" Stacey just blew him off and whispered under her breath 'fuck off' and went to get changed again. Nick walked over to him and said,
"Yo, don't be dissin' my girl. We're together again, so I suggest you shut up before I shove my foot so far up your ass that your next sham album will be called 'Strings Attached'."
"OOOOOhhhhhh, I'm so scared of the big bad Backstreet BOY!" said Justin laughing
"Here's some of the pre show then asswipe!" Nick said pushing Justin up against the wall. All the other guys watched to see what was gonna happen. A.J. wouldn't stop it because was proud of Nick for sticking up for his baby sister. Stacey walked out and saw what was happening and yelled,
"What the hell is going on out here?!" Nick stopped as he was about to punch Justin.
"Who started this?" she asked. Nick and Justin pointing to each other.
"Well then I suggest that Justin you go back over to that corner I saw you in an hour ago and finish playin' with yourself, and Nick, you come with me." said Stacey Everyone laughed at Justin. Stacey and Nick walked down to a hall where no one was so they could talk. They did alot of that.
"So what really happened?" she asked
"I didn't like what he said to you, so I was gonna kick his ass."
"Really?" Stacey was touched
"Yeah, I mean, you're my girlfriend, I don't like guys saying stuff like that to you."
"Oh, you're about to get soooo lucky!" said Stacey. Nick laughed and then they hugged. Stacey whispered in his ear,
"I want you right here, right now."
"Right now, right here. Don't ya think we're kind of in a public plaaa.... " he asked as Stacey grabbed his butt and pushed up against him. She says,
"Meet me in the dressing room." and heads for the dressing room. He watched her walk down the hallway a bit thinking how much he loved her. But soon he would run and catch up to her. In the dressing room Stacey and Nick kissed. She backs into the closet.
"C'mon." she says motioning him in.
"I can't believe we're doing this!" he said
"SSShhhh, you want to get caught do you?" They started kissing and then it got more passionately. Nick started think 'Oh my god, she's sucking my tongue. She is sucking my tongue.' He moved his hands down from her neck to the bottom of her waist where the clasp to her dress was. Stacey had her hands on his chest. She could feel his heartbeat. It was racing. They layed down on the floor still kissing. Stacey started to take off his tie but it got stuck in his mouth. They both started to laugh. He rolled her over so he was leaning over her. They continued to kiss. Out on stage at the Grammy's, the Backstreet Boys were being nominated for best pop album of the year. Brian whispered to Kevin,
"Hey, where's Nick?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen him since we sang."
"Weird." said Brian
"Maybe we should go look for him?" asked Kevin
"Okay, let's go. We got a couple minutes." They got up and headed for the dressing room. Things were starting to get hot in the closet when Stacey said coming up for air,
"SShh, do you hear that?"
"What?"
"It sounds like Kev and Bri." Brian and Kevin walked in looking around for Nick. Nick and Stacey hid behind some costumes. He had his hand over her mouth.
"I don't think he's in here." said Kevin. They walked out and went back to their seats. Nick said,
"Maybe we should finish this later."
"That'd be a good idea." In the crowd they announced, 'And the winner for best pop album of the year is, The Backstreet Boys!' All the guys but Nick went up. A.J. said,
"Um, let's see. I wanna thank all the fans for buying the record, and the late Denniz PoP, we miss you man, and, sorry, I don't a speech prepared, um, my beautiful baby sister which I don't know where she is, for putting up with our hectic schedule and dancing, and anyone who I forgot. Oh yeah, who ever voted!" The rest of the guys said their thank you. Brian said,
"Sorry Nick isn't here to thank everyone, we don't know where he is. Wait! Here he comes!" Nick ran up the isle. When he got up to the podium he said,
"Hey everyone! Sorry I'm late, I was in the bathroom. Stay away from the shrimp! No, just kidding. Um, yeah, I just want to say , thank you to all the fans and everyone who voted. Oh! And everyone who helped us make it all the way up here tonight." Nick stood back and smiled at Stacey in the doorway. They all walked off stage and back to the press room. Brian asked Nick on the way,
"Hey where were you man?"
"SSShhh, Stacey and I were making out in the closet." he said whispering, "Don't tell anyone."
"Whoa hoo! Score!" said Brian teasing him
"Shut up!" Nick yelled in a whisper.
"I can guess what you're doin' tonight!" said Brian
"Yeah, maybe I should try to beat up more guys that hit on her." said Nick laughing. When everyone got back to the hotel, the whole band and dancers had a huge party in A.J. and Howie's room. They had beer and chips and all the stuff they could find for a party. The music was blarin' and the manager had to come up a couple times and ask everyone to keep it down. They didn't. Everyone had changed back into their street clothes. Stacey had on a pair of wide leg pants and Nick's Miami Dolphins jersey which she liked to sleep in. Nick wore the same thing. Pretty much everyone just wore jeans and a t-shirt. A.J. asked Stacey holding a can of beer in his hand,
"Where were you tonight when we won?" She answered hesitantly,
"Ummm, I was, showing Nick to the bathroom."
"Did he really mean what he said on stage?"
"No! He just had to take a piss." she answered
"OOOhhhhhhh, did you help him?"
"Shut up!" she yelled hitting A.J. and walking off with his beer. She walked back over to Nick where he was sitting in a chair, laughing at Brian trying to sing while burping. Stacey sat on his lap and started kissing his neck. Nick knew she was a little drunk. Stacey never did that kind of stuff infront of everyone. Brian finished and said to Nick,
"Hey Nick, looks like your gonna get a little action tonight!" Brian was drunk to. Nick threw an empty can of beer at him. Brian jumped out of the way and walked over to where Abigail was and began to hit on her. Nick and Stacey started making out in the chair while A.J. and Howie jumped on the bed with Katie, and the rest of the guys and gals talked and listened to the music. It just wasn't the Backstreet Boys there, the band and other people who helped them were there too. The hotel room was pretty crowded. The party went on for the rest of the night. The next morning everyone was tired and had headaches. They were all glad that the tour was finally over.
"Hey Stace', the guys and I have this thing on TRL today. You gonna come and watch?" asked Nick
"Yeah sure." she answered. When the boys were on TRL Carson asked,
"So do any of you guys got girlfriends?"
"Well, I have an on and off one." said Kevin. Howie and A.J. answered 'single', then A.J. blurted out,
"Brian has a crush on one girl that I can't say." Carson said,
"So Nick, what about you?" Nick answered with a silly grin on his face,
"Um, yeah." The crowd started a chant saying 'Who is she, who is she, who is she?'. Nick finally answered,
"A.J.'s sister." The crowd went nuts. Nick pointed Stacey out in the audience and motioned her to come over. She didn't want to but Stacey did it anyways. Carson handed her a microphone so she could talk.
"So what's it like to be going out with a Backstreet boy?"
"Um, not as great as you think. No! I'm just kidding. Nick's great."
"So how long have you been going out?" he asked
"A little over a year." Stacey answered. Nick blurted out,
"One year, two months and eight days to be exact!" Everyone laughed. Carson asked Stacey again,
"So how do you find time to dance with them on tour, 'cause you do like the runway modeling right?"
"Oh, I, um, do the shows that will be in the same town as we in that day. It sounds difficult but, it's not really, just very, very, tiring." They continued talking on TRL and did some performing. Nick and Stacey continued to date and finally was public, so they didn't have to hide it anymore which was great. Nick invited Stacey to dinner one night and was going to ask her something big on the beach that night.
