She stopped what she was doing and picked up Aaron�s picture off the nightstand. She looked at it and smiled. Ok, maybe she understood now about how much Dakota missed Nickolas. It was the most romantic time of the year and neither of them were with their honeys. Well right about now Dakota was probably laying a big wet one on Nickolas� lips. She chuckled knowing Dakota would do that at any given moment, even in front of the fans, and not caring. She really was in love and MyKenna hoped her and Aaron would share a love like that one day.
Yeah, she kind of told Aaron the way she felt, but it probably wasn�t enough to make him really know her true feelings. Then again maybe it was. They did sleep together after all, or made love as she referred it, unbeknownst to Dakota, Nickolas, and everyone else. Hell, Aaron�s not even 18 yet so of course no one would know about there one night of passion. Ok, make it three nights they weren�t sharing. It wasn�t anyone�s business anyway. Well she did want to tell Dakota, but why should she? Dakota didn�t share with her the fact that she bedded her sexy boyfriend. It only made more sense to keep quiet about her and Aaron�s love-making. She gave a giddish giggle just as her phone rang. She put Aaron�s picture down and picked up the phone.
�Hello?� MyKenna said.
�Hey, Gorgeous,� came Aaron�s voice.
�Hey.�
�How�s it going?�
�Alright I guess.�
�You guess?�
�I just miss you that�s all.�
�I miss you too.� He put a kiss into the phone and she chuckled. �What are ya doing?�
�Just thinking about you and the past two years and seven months.�
�I�m doing the same thing.�
�Liar.�
�Why do you think I called?�
�I don�t know. Maybe to get another shot at phone sex.�
�Why would I do that when I can fly over to England and get the real thing?�
�I don�t know. Perhaps ya just want to have a little fun.�
�Ya never know.�
�You�re so unpredictable.�
�So what are ya doing for Valentine�s Day?�
�Most likely sitting here and missing you.�
�Why don�t ya come to New York then?�
�I don�t know, Aaron.�
�C�mon it�ll be fun. Nick and DJ won�t be around and it�ll just be us.�
�I just came home though.�
�You can go back Monday.�
�I still don�t know.�
�I really want to be with you on Valentine�s Day.�
�And I really want to be with you too.�
�So come to New York. I�d come to you, but I�m busy.�
�What if I�m busy?�
�With what?�
�Movies, friends, hotties��
�Right; you�re just going to sit over there in England, on the most romantic day of the year, and miss me.�
�Probably.�
�Why don�t you just think about it then?�
�I�ll do that. Who knows? Maybe I�ll surprise ya.�
�I really hope ya would.�
�Of course.�
�Well I have to get back to work. I had a few minutes to kill so I decided to call ya.�
�Ok.�
�I�ll talk to ya later though, alright?�
�Definitely.�
�Great.�
�Bye.�
�Bye.� MyKenna waited for Aaron to hang up and when he did she hung up herself. She picked Aaron�s picture back up and looked at it again. Now that she talked to him, she didn�t know if she could wait that extra day to see Aaron. She wanted to tell him she was going to New York, but she thought it would be better if it were a surprise and left it at that.

Dakota got off the elevator and started walking the hotel hall to Nickolas� room. According to the manager all five members of the Backstreet Boys were in their rooms. Hopefully Nickolas was alone that way she could say �hello� properly. She was really nervous about seeing him and on top of that she was really excited. Almost three years and she still felt the same way about Nickolas. It was like she was a little school girl and Nickolas was her first crush; but in reality Tom Cruise was her first crush. That didn�t matter though, because Nickolas was all she wanted.
She approached Nickolas� room and stood there a moment. She took out her compact and checked herself over. She wanted to look good for Nickolas; not that he would care anyway. He�d just be happy to see her. She put some strawberry lip gloss on and put her stuff back in her bag. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
�Who is it?� came Nickolas� voice and Dakota smiled.
�Room service,� Dakota replied in an English accent.
�I didn�t order anything.�
�Yes you did.�
�No I didn�t.�
�You didn�t order an average brunette, with soulful brown eyes, strawberry lips, soft smooth legs, gentle loving hands, an angelic smile�� Nickolas quickly opened the door.
�I told you I�� He stopped in mid-sentence and looked at her, as she smiled.
�Surprise.� He smiled and shook his head. �Are ya sure ya didn�t order anything?�
�A surprise it is.� He grabbed her and kissed her. They kissed for a moment then looked at each other and smiled. �What are you doing here?�
�May I come in?�
�Definitely.� He picked up her suitcase and she walked into the room. She looked at him, as he closed the door. �I thought you weren�t coming?�
�Well I realized I didn�t want to spend Valentine�s alone and I wanted to spend it with you.�
�I�m really glad you changed your mind.�
�So am I.� He took her in his arms.
�I was starting to go crazy without you.�
�You don�t have to worry about that now.�
�Good.� She smiled and kissed him. �I really, really, really, really, really missed you. I was watching Kevin and Kristin earlier and it made me realize how much I want to be with you.�
�Awe.� She hugged him. �I want to be with you too. I love you so much, Nicky.�
�I love you too, Baby.�
�Promise you�ll come visit me in Seattle.�
�Every chance I get.�
�Good.� He kissed her. �So��
�So��
�Do you have anything to do for the next few hours?�
�Not until morning. We just got done with a press conference about a half hour ago.�
�Oh.�
�And then we got a few TV and radio appearances in the morning.�
�But you�re not doing anything tonight, right?�
�No.�
�Good.� She undid his belt and he looked at her. �I got a few things on my mind that we could do.�
�Oh really?� She nodded. �Like what?� She looked at him and just smiled. �If ya don�t tell me how can I agree?�
�You will so just trust me.� She pulled the belt from his pant loops. �Ya know, ya shouldn�t answer the door shirtless.�
�Why not?�
�Because whoever is on the other side just might jump ya and not care. Hell, I was ready too.� He laughed. �I�m being serious. You get hotter every time I see you.� He took her hands.
�And you�re constantly nervous around me no matter what.�
�It�s just that I�m so happy and so in love with you.� She gave him an excited embarrassed smile.
�Look at you.�
�What?�
�You�re all giddy like a school girl.� She smiled the same smile and Nickolas smiled. �I never met anyone like you.�
�Well I�m the only me. There�s only one.�
�And I�m glad I got to have you.�
�So am I.� They smiled and Nickolas kissed her.
