| "Well that was fun." AJ said sarcastically as the two group filed off stage and back into the green room. "Twenty minutes of getting grilled about whether Dani and Nick were going to hook up. Woo hoo." "When have I ever had some much fun?" Michelle asked, rolling her eyes. Dani looked at her. "You think it's rough for you? Imagine telling people a million times a day that you weren't secretly in love with Kevin." Michelle's eyes narrowed. "I really don't think that anyone would confuse our relationship with love." She said. Kevin returned her glare. "Yeah, I love you, too, Michelle." He said sarcastically. "Oh come on, Dans. It wasn't that bad. I mean, you must be used to it by now." Brian said. Was it Dani's imagination, or did Brian jump at every chance to point out that she and Nick were good together She shook her head. It was probably just her. She was a little paranoid about Brian's admition to having a thing for Catelyn right after she told him that she had a thing for Nick. "I guess not." Dani said. "It's sort of annoying, though." AJ pointed out. "People care more about you two than they do about the rest of us." "Yeah, well, get Allie to hang all over you every time you're in public, and see whether people start talking about you, too." AJ suggested. "Hey!" Dani protested. "I do not hang all over him!" There was a universal laugh, and seven people saying 'yes you do' at the same time. Dani's cheeks flamed. "Do not." She muttered. "Are we ready yet?" Nick asked. "I wanna get back to the hotel." Everyone nodded, and started filing out the door. "Hey, what do you say we go out tonight?" AJ asked. "You know, to make up for the torture MTV has once again sujected up to." Allie nodded enthusiastically. "Oh, good. Let's go to that new club. Shakers, or whatever." She suggested. "I read in the paper this morning that it was, like, the worst club to open up in ten years." As odd as it sounds, that evoked a big reaction from her friends. With most people, it probably would haven't been quite as big a plus. But for a group of people who wanted nothing more than to go through a night with out being mobbed, that sounded great. "Cool!" Dani said. "Awesome!" Michelle said. "Let's do it!" Brian said. Since these three comments were spoken at the same time, the exact words were lost, but the main idea carried through. "Okay, so it's a plan." Nick announced. "Everyone meet down in the lobby at eight, okay?" Everyone nodded, and by then they'd reached the doors at the end of the hall, where they emerged into Times Square, and then seperated into their respective groups, since Unstoppable had a photo shoot that after noon. The Backstreet Boys climbed into the limo that was going back to the hotel, waving to numerous fans as they did. Once the door was shut behind them, AJ turned to Nick. "Okay, so now tell us the truth. Do you, or do you not have feelings for Dani?" Nick's eyes narrowed. "Jesus, AJ. I don't! Okay?" He crossed his arms and turned towards the window. But once he was facing away from the rest of the guys, he couldn't help but question that. He sighed. Ofcourse he didn't have feelings for Dani! She was his best friends since, like, third grade. There was no way that he could be falling for her now! But then again, when they were at the arcade, he'd become oddly obsessed with winning the stuffed animal that Dani had just casually mentioned was cute. And he'd actually felt jealous when she'd wanted to sleep with Catelyn instead of him. And he couldn't help admittin that she'd looked extrememly hot today. He shook his head. "Nope. I don't." He announced with as much conviction as he could muster. Everyone looked over at him. "Uh, you don't what, Nick?" Brian asked, looking confused. "Have feelings for Dani." He explained. "Oh." Kevin said. "Well, good." They waited a minute longer, to see if Nick was going to say anything else, then went back to the conversation they'd been involved in while Nick was busy convincing himself that he didn't like Dani. Well, Nick thought, atleast they beleive me. Even if I don't. He added silently. |
