After the kissing was over Kevin said, �I should be gone more often.�
�Well I missed you,� Josephine replied. �And I think the neighbors did too.� Kevin turned around and saw his neighbors looking. They started laughing and Kevin shut the door.
�I�m not entitled to my privacy.�
�You should�ve thought about that before you became a Backstreet Boy.�
�I guess you�re right. What was I thinking?�
Josephine just smiled and shrugged her shoulders, as they cleaned up the bags and she asked, �Anything for me?�
�Maybe. I think there�s something in one of these bags.�
�What do I have to do for it?�
�I think I can think of a couple of things.� They both smiled and walked to the parlor. They sat down and Kevin handed her a bag.
�It�s awful small, Kev.�
�Just open it.� Josephine smiled and pulled out a small box.
Josephine opened the box and continued smiling. �Kevin, they�re beautiful.�
�Do you like them?�
�I love them. But why?�
�When I saw them at Macy�s and how they shined, they reminded me of your eyes and I knew no one but you could have them.�
�What would I do with a diamond bracelet? I have no where to wear them.�
�Wear them tonight, because we�re going to a Masquerade Ball in New York City.�
�What?�
�Did you actually think those ballroom lesions were actually free?�
�I have nothing to wear.�
�Then we�ll go shopping�in New York.�
�New York?�
�Yes; the jets getting fueled and waiting for us.�
�Do the others know? I won�t go unless they know we�re safe.�
�I told the guys and they�re going to tell the girls. Not that they�ll really worry about us, because they have their own plans for tonight.�
�Then I�ll go. Under one condition.�
�What�s that?�
�We cuddle all the way up to New York.�
�Sounds great.�
�Then let�s go.� They got up and walked from the parlor.

�Ladies,� Alexander said sitting between Danielle and Venus on the sofa. �You�re looking very beautiful today.�
�What do ya want, Alex?� Venus asked.
�That�s the thanks I get for telling you that you look beautiful,� Alexander said. �I�m crushed.�
�Just tell us what you want?� Danielle said.
�Well, I just wanted you two beautiful gals to join me in going to the opera tonight,� Alexander replied. �But since you�d rather sit here and watch TV then I�ll just go give my tickets to someone else.� He got up, as Venus and Danielle just looked at him then at each other.
�Alex, wait,� Danielle said, as he stopped. �We�ll go.�
�What is it?� Venus asked.
�It�s a surprise,� Alexander replied. �Be ready by seven.�
�Seven it is,� Venus said and Alexander left the room. �How does he do it?�
�I have no clue,� Danielle said. �Wait a minute.�
�What?�
�We need something to wear.�
�We better go find something then.� They got up.
�Alex, we�ll be back in a little bit!� They left the parlor and walked from the house.

Brian stopped kissing Destiny and she asked, �What�s wrong?�
�Nothing,� Brian replied. �It�s just that I remembered what time it was and we have dinner reservations.�
�We do.�
�Yeah; I planned a very special romantic dinner for two.�
�What does it consist of?�
�Dinner, dancing, and whatever we can think of.�
�Something comes to mind.�
�What�s that?�
�You just never mind. You�ll find out later.�
�Maybe I want to prepare myself.�
�You don�t have to. What should I wear tonight?�
�A sexy black dress I had picked out.�
�Picking out my wardrobe already? It better be nice.�
�I said it was sexy.�
�It better be or you�ll be sorry.�
�How sorry?�
�Very sorry. Where is this dress anyway?�
�Hanging in your room.�
�Why didn�t I see it?�
�I just stuck it in. Go look and see if ya like it.� Destiny got up and ran upstairs to her room to see the dress Brian picked out. When she opened the door she saw the dress hanging from the full length mirror. Brian stood behind her and she smiled. �Do you like it?�
�I love it. It�s the dress I wanted, but couldn�t afford. Thank you so much.� She turned around and kissed him. �You�re too good to me.�
�And you�re too good for me.�
�If you�ll excuse me then, I�m going to get ready.�
�Alright, then that�s what I�ll do.�
�I�ll see ya in a bit.�
�Same here.� He gave her a kiss and he left her room, as she closed the door.
