Once AJ got off stage I joined the guys in the middle of an animated conversation,
"I saw you guys taking a picture with her while I was singing, I need a picture." I looked over at Howie and Kevin and they smiled so bright you could have turned off the lights. Howie nodded,
"Yeah, she really is a nice girl." AJ shook his head and I could see the envy,
"You guys suck." Personally, I don't see what the big deal is, she's just a girl. How many girls are there in the world? Too many for these three, one of which who is married, to think this chick is hot shit.
Interview time, did I actually think I was going to go through this night and Entertainment Tonight wasn't going to stick there camera in our faces? We were standing by a little section espeically for them, all the major TV crews had one, the background read Maxim and ET all over the screen behind the couch we were sitting on,
"So guys what do you think of Brehan's pictorial?" Kevin, sitting in the middle, was the first to speak,
"Amazing pictures, her eyes seem to follow you everywhere." Her eyes? You couldn't get enough of her tits and thighs when we were in the limo, now it's her eyes, give me a break. We all had a magazine in our hands and AJ flipped through and held up a picture to the camera,
"Best shot right there man. She is one hot girl. Can I have her?" We all laughed and the interviewer asked Howie,
"So, have you ever met Brehan before tonight?" Howie smiled,
"Yeah, Kevin and I actually met her a few weeks ago backstage at a fashion show. She's a really nice girl." Please Howie, don't mention that I met her. I'm hoping to get out of this interview without having to say anything,
"Nick-" Jesus, did I ask for that or what?
"Brehan has been getting alot of press for these steamy photos. Do you like it? What style do you like in a woman?" Breasts are good enough for me I want to say but of course that's not appropriate for the cute one,
"I don't like all that makeup and stuff man, you know what I mean? I just like a regular girl." He gave the cue to cut the camera,
"Thanks guys." We all nodded and walked off. and I spotted an old friend, if I'm going to be here I'm going to have fun, not think about Brehan all night.
She was standing with her back to me and I decided to just wrap my arms around her,
"Hey! Guess who." She turned around in my arms and squealed as she hugged me,
"Hey you, how have you been?" Nancy, she danced on our last tour and we had become really close,
"I've been alright. How about you?" She shrugged,
"Can't complain at all." I looked around, my arm still on her waist,
"What are you doing at this kind of thing." She laughed,
"I like this kind of thing. The question is what are you doing here?" I rolled my eyes; she knows me well enough to know I wasn't that thrilled about being here,
"Everything is work, remember?" Many a nights were spent in my room, when I wasn't occupied with someone else, watching movies and trying to teach her how to play video games. She was like a sister to me and I enjoyed all our time together which lasted so long because the first time I tried her, she shot me down so quick and definitively I knew there wasn't a chance in hell. So from that point on I was able to get over seeing her as someone to have sex with and just saw her as another person. She pulled back and placed her hand directly in front of my face and I couldn't help but see the ring,
"You're getting married?" She nodded and the smile on her face was contagious. I hugged her,
"Congratulations." She giggled,
"Thanks, you'll be at the wedding right?" I knew her, knew her well enough to know that wasn't a question that was an order,
"Wouldn't miss it for the world. Hey, I need to hit the bathroom, I'll be back." She nodded and I walked off looking for a bathroom, all that water was getting to me.
I walked down the hall and opened a door, once it closed behind me I could barely hear the noise of the party. As I walked down the hall I heard loud voices and couldn't help but listen,
"Brehan, what do you want from me?" Brehan, I only know one Brehan in the world am I sure she's the only Brehan at this party,
"I want support Steven." Steven, the manager Steven? I slowly turned the hall and could see them standing against a wall in their own little world,
"I'm here aren't I?" She's upset about her manager not being somewhere, funny, I'm always trying to ditch our's.
"Yeah, and really late. What is happening with us? Why have you been so distant?" He slammed his hand against the wall near her head and she flinched just slightly,
"What the fuck? I am sick and tired of this bullshit. You know what I've been doing? Blowing your fucking career up, thats what and this is the shit I have to deal with, the thanks I get." Ok, our manager has never talked to us like that, he'd get four sets of boots in his ass, Howie was just too nice.
"And I gues I'm supposed to say thank you?" He took her by the shoulders and shoved her against the wall,
"That's a start." Before I could blink he was kissing her, his hands slid to her waist and he picked her up. She wrapped her legs around him and returned his kiss, they were all over each other. The first thing that popped in my head after the shock of it all was that AJ and Kevin were probably right, she looked wild now, she's probably even worse, or better depending on how you look at it, in bed. I shook my head and turned around, I could find another bathroom somewhere else. Her manager, she was messing around with her manager? Wow, talk about office perks.
I finally made my way back over to Nancy,
"Hey you, I thought you fell in." I shook my head,
"Nah, just had trouble finding it." She looked at me with a frown on her face and I laughed,
"No you pervert, the bathroom." She giggled and nodded her head,
"Just making sure." Just then a photographer came over,
"Hey Nick, can we get your picture with your friend?" I shrugged and looked over at her and she nodded. If she didn't mind being my next rumor girlfriend I didn't either. We stood side by side and smiled for the camera, I've done this well enough to know they want more than one picture so I grabbed her in my arms and picked her up, our faces were touching as my arms wer wrapped around her waist. She giggled and slapped my arm as she gave me a quick peck on the lips.
