Nickolas looked at Dakota and smiled, as she looked at him. She returned the smile then felt his leg rubbing against her leg. She took a deep breath and just bit her bottom lip. He gave his side smile and put his arm around the back of the booth seat, around her. They both looked at MyKenna and Aaron, but they weren�t even paying attention since they were too busy with each other.
Dakota shook her head and said, �I told ya your brother doesn�t waste anytime. He�s all over her.�
�Well he hangs out with Bone a lot,� Nickolas stated.
�Right.�
�Why don�t you believe me?�
�You have a tendency of lying.� She smiled. �I do read and watch TV and chat with fans.�
�Right.� He smiled this time. �There are certain things I lie about that I don�t want to talk about.� She only looked at him. �Ya�ll don�t need to know all my personal affairs. If you were famous and I was just a �fan,� I wouldn�t�� Dakota blocked out all he was saying and just watched his mouth. She loved the way his lips moved when he talked. She actually loved everything about him. Everything he did turned her on. She thought about what it would be like to have his lips caressing her own�so gentle, so sweet, so passionate, yet so hungrily and aggressively. She thought about what he would taste like and she left out a satisfied sigh. Nickolas looked at her closely and stopped talking while raising an eyebrow. �Something you�d like to share?� Dakota came back to reality and looked at him.
�Hmm?�
�Would you like to share what you were thinking?�
�No, cause it was nothing.�
�Right.�
�Go away.� Nickolas just smiled, as there pizza was set on the table. �Thank you.�
�You�re welcome,� the waitress said and walked away.
�Food,� Aaron said. �Ha ha.� They all made a face and dug into the pizza. �This place has the best pizza in Tampa.�
�I�m sure they do,� MyKenna said.
�They do,� Aaron repeated. �It�s the best. Ain�t it Nick?�
�If ya say so,� Nickolas said. �I�ve tasted pizza from all over the world.�
�I�m sure you did,� Dakota said. �It�s not hard in your line of business. You can go all over the place; from the US to England from Australia to Japan and so on and so on.�
�It�s great, but I always miss my family,� Nickolas said. �Except for Aaron over there.�
�I love you too brother,� Aaron said sarcastically, as they laughed.
�Aaron�s the best brother you could have,� Nickolas said. �We make the most of the time we get to see each other.� The girls looked at each other and then started laughing hysterically. �I don�t mean like that.�
�That�s not what we�re laughing at,� MyKenna lied.
�Whatever,� Aaron and Nickolas said in unison, as the girls continued laughing.
�It�s nothing,� Dakota said.
�We might believe you,� Aaron said. �You two think we�re gay together.�
�You said it,� Dakota said. �Not us.�
�But you were thinking it,� Nickolas said.
�No we�re not,� MyKenna lied and Nickolas rolled his eyes. �Fine don�t believe us.�
�It�s your lose,� Dakota said. �Not ours.�
�Whatever,� Nickolas said shaking his head.
�You�re really cute when someone agitates you,� Dakota pointed out. �Did you know that?�
�No I didn�t,� Nickolas said unamused. �I don�t care to look at myself when someone agitates me.�
�You should start,� Dakota said smiling.
�Why?� Aaron asked. �He�s nothing to look at. I�m the one the girls want.� He nodded. �Yes they do.�
�Can we say �conceited�?� Dakota wanted to know and they laughed. �I thought reading about AJ and stuff was bad, but I think knowing by first hand you�re worse for what? 13 years old?�
�14,� Aaron corrected her.
�Whatever,� Dakota said. �You�re slicker than possum shit.�
�Ooh,� MyKenna and Nickolas said.
�You ain�t getting this girl though,� Dakota assured them all. �So forget it. You can have Ken.� She looked at MyKenna and smiled. �She wants ya.�
�Dakota,� MyKenna said with warning in her voice and Dakota just smiled. �I can easily tell them you��
�No!� Dakota exclaimed. �I don�t think so. Just keep your mouth shut and I�ll keep my mouth shut also about things to be left unshared.�
�Ok,� MyKenna agreed and the two guys looked at them interested.
�Forget it,� Dakota said. �We just met so we don�t share secrets.�
�Why not?� Nickolas asked. �I thought that�s how ya get to know the person.�
�Not by sharing secrets,� MyKenna replied. �By spending time with them and asking questions. Finding their likes and dislikes. Learning of their future plans and similar interests as yours. Stuff like that, but not sharing secrets until further into the relationship.� Nickolas nodded.
�Ya have to forgive my brother,� Aaron started, �he�s only ever had like�oh�about a one and a half relationship. He had one for a while there and oh how I wish he never met that�one.� He made a disgusted face. �Then he had like a half of one.� He laughed and Nickolas glared at him.
�That�s not what we heard,� MyKenna said. �On the net�backstreet.net to be precise�Nick is just the regular ole pimp daddy.� Dakota and her laughed.
�Like who?� Nickolas asked. �I want names.�
�Who did they have?� Dakota asked looking at MyKenna. �Um, there was Tiffany, Jill, I believe there was a Sarah and a Christina too and an Aria, um�help me out, MyKenna.�
�I can�t think of all there names,� MyKenna said. �But they did have ya hooked back up with Mandah Williford though.� Aaron started laughing and soda came out his nose, hitting Dakota in the face.
�Oh, now that�s gross!� Dakota exclaimed kicking Aaron under the table. �I could hurt you right now for that.�
�Sorry,� Aaron apologized still laughing. �That�s funny shit.� He continued laughing and people looked at them, as Dakota wiped her face.
�Aaron, knock it off,� Nickolas warned. �People are staring.�
�Sorry,� Aaron repeated still laughing.
�Why is that funny?� Dakota asked. �I think it�s rude�I think that�s the word I want.� She shrugged. �She�s a slut. S-l-u-t. She�s disgusting in my opinion and I never met the ho�and I never want to either.�
�That�s a good idea,� Nickolas said and Dakota looked at him. �I know what kind of person she is from experience.�
�Sucks to be you,� MyKenna said chuckling.
�Your boyfriend could end up like her,� Dakota pointed out and MyKenna stopped chuckling. �So you shouldn�t laugh.�
�Always taking Nick�s side,� MyKenna said.
�Someone has to,� Dakota stated.
�I can defend myself,� Nickolas assured Dakota and smiled at her. �I�m very capable of that. I got my butt to protect me from the bullies.� They laughed at him.
�A nice boo-tay it is,� Dakota stated eating her pizza and MyKenna shook her head, as Nickolas looked at Dakota.

�That was a pretty good movie,� Nickolas said, as they all walked out of the movie theater later that evening at about 11 p.m.
�Scooby rules,� Dakota said. �No dog beats Scooby Doo.�
�Right,� MyKenna said sarcastically and Dakota glared at her.
�It was all right,� Aaron said.
�You don�t count,� Dakota said. �What�d you think, Ken?�
�It was really good,� MyKenna stated.
�Of course it was,� Dakota said, as they laughed. �It was Scooby.� Nickolas looked at her and smiled. He loved her craziness. She was reminding him of himself. They walked in silence a coupled minutes with MyKenna and Aaron ahead of Dakota and Nickolas. Dakota looked up at MyKenna and Aaron and saw that they were holding hands. She smiled and practically yelled, �Mmm, girl you are on.� MyKenna and Aaron looked back at her and she continued smiling. �You work that mojo, Aaron.�
�That is my 14 year old brother,� Nickolas reminded her.
�Your point is?� Dakota and Aaron asked.
�He�s too young to be working his mojo,� Nickolas said.
�Nick�s just mad, because he lost his mojo when he was with Mandah,� Aaron snickered and Nickolas glared at him.
�You say that name again,� Nickolas started, �I�m going to have to hurt you and give you a reason not to be able to work your mojo.�
�I�m scared,� Aaron said sarcastically.
�I ain�t kidding either,� Nickolas warned.
�Nick, calm down,� Dakota said and he looked at her. �He�s just messing.� She smiled and MyKenna and Aaron laughed. �What?�
�Nothing,� MyKenna said.
�Whatever,� Dakota said. �Go back to your making out with Aaron.�
�We weren�t making out,� MyKenna said.
�Then what were you two doing on the beach earlier?� Nickolas asked. �Surely not talking by the looks of it.�
�They were speaking in tongue,� Dakota smirked. �It�s really easy to learn.� She smiled and Nickolas shook his head. �Really it is.�
�I�m sure it is,� Nickolas said and Dakota nodded.
�She wouldn�t know,� MyKenna said. �She never did it before.� Dakota glared at her. �She never even kissed a guy.�
�You�re dead,� Dakota said.
�You never kissed a guy?� Aaron asked surprised. �What? Do you kiss girls?�
�No,� Dakota said. �But I�ll give you a kiss to remember forever if ya don�t shut up.� She showed him her fist and grinned.
�I�m really scared,� Aaron said.
�You better be,� Dakota said.
�I think she has a phobia of kissing,� MyKenna said.
�I don�t have a phobia of kissing,� Dakota said. �It just never happened in my 21 years on this earth.� She shrugged. �No biggy.�
�Nick�s always kissing girls,� Aaron said.
�I�m sure he is,� Dakota and MyKenna said in unison.
�I am not,� Nickolas said. �Aaron just over reacts all the time.�
�Right,� Dakota said. �I�m sure of it.� She rolled her eyes. �You just don�t want to get caught and have people call ya a pig. News flash, Carter, all men are pigs no matter who they are. Don�t your fellow Backstreeters wives teach you anything?�
�I don�t ask.�
�Well ya should.�
�I could just call you up.�
�Right.� Nickolas smiled.
�Hey, let�s go to that new club down the street,� Aaron suggested.
�Aaron, are you forgetting me and DJ?� Nickolas asked.
�It�s for everyone, Nick,� Aaron said.
�And the only one you can get into,� Nickolas chuckled. �Don�t forget that.�
�So let�s go,� Aaron said. �What do you say girls?� MyKenna and Dakota looked at each other. �MyKenna?� She smiled.
�Sure,� MyKenna said.
�Then come on,� Aaron said. �My birthday gift to you.� He dragged her along with Dakota and Nickolas behind shaking their heads. �Come on you two!�
�We�re coming!� Dakota yelled up to him.
�We don�t have to go if you don�t want to,� Nickolas said.
�It�s fine. I don�t mind. Plus it�s MyKenna�s birthday so she�s entitled to have fun. I got her here to Florida from England so I got to let her enjoy it.�
�That was nice of you.�
�Yeah, it seemed like it was taking forever to save up the money, but it was all worth it though. We�re having a great time.�
�When did ya get here?�
�Saturday.�
�When are you leaving?�
�Sunday, she�ll be going back to England and I�ll be going back to PA.�
�Oh.� Nickolas lowered his head in disappointment, as they joined MyKenna and Aaron in the line at the club.
�It�s about time,� MyKenna said. �I ain�t asking, because it�s none of my business.�
�We were talking,� Dakota said. �You could see us.�
�I wasn�t going to say anything.�
�You will later though.�
�If ya think so.� Dakota just nodded.
