A couple of hours later, the boys had settled in. Nick's room was next to Megan's; AJ's was next to Nick's. Then Howie's, then Brian's, then Kevin's. And next to Kevin, there was STILL another bedroom, not including the master bedroom. And not to mention the three bathrooms upstairs. The other guys had finished unpacking and had went downstairs to shoot pool, but Nick wanted to explore some more. He walked around the second floor, saving Megan's room for last. Meanwhile, Megan had just woken up, nicely tanned and not tired at all. She picked up her iced tea glass and walked in the house. When she got in, she went to the kitchen and put her glass in the sink. Then she headed upstairs to her bedroom. She heard men's voices coming from the lounge, so she assumed that Brian's friend Carson Daly was over. Carson was okay looking, but he was a total dork, at least that's what Megan thought. She walked up the stairs and headed for her room. Nick had just reached Megan's room. He walked in and gasped. The room was huge, and mostly pink. The wallpaper had pink, purple, and blue pastel flowers on it. There were purple curtains on the windows, and the bedspread and pillows on the queen-sized bed were pink and purple. The headboard and dresser matched the wallpaper perfectly. Her desk was orderly, with a computer on it. She had a phone on her night table. Hanging over the desk was a Winnie~The~Pooh calendar, a banner, a certificate, several medals, and pictures of stars, including Will Smith, Katie Holmes, James Van Der Beek, and many of Brian that were cut from magazines. Looking on the desk, Nick saw a photo album, labeled, "My Family." Nick picked it up, sat down on the bed and started to look through it. Meanwhile, Megan reached her room. She was about to go in, but she heard a noise. As she peered in the doorway, she saw the hottest guy she had ever laid eyes on sitting on her bed. Wow, he's hot! But why is he sitting on my bed? She thought to herself. He must be Brian's friend. Well, B rok's in trouble for this one! "BRIAN!" she yelled, storming down the stairs. Brian, Howie, and AJ were playing pool when they heard Megan shout. Howie was startled. "What was that?" he asked Brian. "Oh, that's just my sister, Megan," replied Brian as he shot the ball in the corner pocket. Just then, Megan burst into the lounge, took one look at Howie and AJ, and exclaimed, "What the HELL is going on around here?" "Uh, hi, Meg. Nice to see you woke up from your nap," Brian said in a very small voice, not meeting Megan's eyes. "Don't give me that crap, Brian Thomas Littrell. I want to know who these guys are, who the guy upstairs is, why there is an RV parked in the driveway, and why there are suitcases in all the guest bedrooms and I want to know RIGHT NOW!" exclaimed Megan. "Could, uh, you guys excuse us for one minute?" Brian asked Howie and AJ as he led Megan out of the room and into the Library.
"Shh, stop screaming, you'll wake the neighbors. Now, these guys are my bandmates, you know, the Backstreet Boys?" said Brian. "Well, what are they doing HERE?" asked Megan in an "outside voice". "Wellllll......ya see, we have a concert in Lexington next week, and, uh, they kinda needed a place to~" "~stay?" Megan interrupted. "And how come I didn't know any of this?" Brian's big blue eyes looked helpless. "Well, they just sorta showed up. So can they stay?" "How long are they here for?" "Just until the concert next week. Then we start our tour and we will be moving around the country." "Wait a minute. You never told me that you were going on tour! Do I get to come? Oh, that would be so cool! I would get to go to places I always dreamed of going! Oh, this is going to be great! Can I bring a friend? I'll bring Samantha~" "Wait a minute, slow down. We'll discuss that later. So can they stay?" "Well, I guess, considering that it wouldn't matter if I said yes or no, they are already here anyway." "Oh, thanks, Meg. Now come on, I'll introduce you to them. Hey, you already know one of them. Kevin's here." "Kevin Richardson?" asked Megan as she was led out of the library. "Yep," he said. Then he yelled, "Nick, AJ, Howie, come into the kitchen." When they entered the kitchen, they found Kevin in there on the phone. "Thank you, goodbye!" Kevin said into the receiver. Then he hung up the phone. "I was just ordering a pizza, my treat, for dinner, since you guys are so nice in letting us barge in like this. Oh, hey Meg!" "Hi, Kevin," she said as he hugged her. AJ and Howie came into the kitchen. Brian introduced them to Megan, who was still wearing her bikini. "Megan, this is AJ McLean and this is Howie Dorough. Howie and AJ, this is my sister, Megan." They shook hands and Megan said, “Pleased to meet you. I’m sorry I’m not dressed properly, but this was all a bit of a shock to me. I had no idea that you were coming.” “Sorry, Meg. That was my bad,” said Kevin. Just then Nick came running into the kitchen. “Ah~hah! Here it is!” he exclaimed. Everyone started laughing. “Frack, this is my little sister, Megan. Megan, this is Nick Carter,” Brian said, still laughing. “Hi,” Megan said, checking him out. She shook his hand. “VERY pleased to meet you,” Nick said as he kissed her hand. She giggled and turned to Brian. “Frack?” she asked him. Nick answered, “Oh, that’s just a nickname. Mine’s Frack, his is Frick.” “Oh,” Megan said, smiling. Then she turned to the rest of them and charmingly said, “Well, welcome to our house. Please make yourself at home. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go shower before dinner.” And with that, she turned and walked out of the room. God, he’s hot! She thought of Nick. Her hand still burned where he had kissed it. She took an instant liking to him. She went up the steps and walked into the bathroom, smiling the whole way. As she left the kitchen, Nick stared after her. God, she's a FOX! As he turned around, he saw that his friends were looking at him. "Nick, you better watch it. She's my SISTER," said Brian. "Watch what?" Nick asked him. The guys looked at each other. Shrugging, Howie, AJ, and Kevin left the kitchen, leaving behind Brian and Nick. Brian said to Nick, "You like her, don't you." “Who me? Nawwwwwww…” replied Nick. “Uh, by the way, how old is she again?”
Brian just laughed.
