Eli stood there, fighting to remain calm. Nickolas Gene Carter was standing a measly two feet away from her!! She could smell him and it sent her heart racing even faster with every deep breath. Suddenly, Nick took a deep breath and sat down, his head in his hands.
Eli kneeled beside him, placing a hand on his knee. "Are you alright?"
Nick glanced at her, his intense blue eyes watching her. "Y-yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?"
Elisa smiled softly, "Well, because you sat down with your head in your hands and on Earth, people usually do that when they are nervous or upset about something."
Nick chuckled, "Well, I'm from Earth and I sat down because I am resting up for the concert tonight. Are you looking forward to it?"
Elisa nodded, "Yeah, but not as much as Lizzie. She is totally in love with Brian and has been waiting to meet him since she was fifteen. Tonight is her seventeenth birthday, you know, and I thought it would be cool to let her meet her true love for her birthday."
Nick smiled, "That's very noble of you. What about you, who's your favorite Backstreet Boy?"
Liz looked over and smiled, "She's totally in love with you, Nick."
Nick glanced at Liz and then turned his wide blue eyes back to Eli. "Really?"
Elisa nodded, throwing Liz a Look. "Yes, Nick, you are my favorite Backstreet Boy."
Nick grinned, "Tonight could turn out to be better than I thought! I knew there had to be a good reason for these meets and greets and I finally found one!"
Elisa stared at Nick in a state of shock. Was he - in Liz's words - for serious? Or was he only trying to make her feel better about being totally in love with him? Well, no matter what anyone said, Eli was going to love Nick forever with all her heart. Why? Because she wanted to. It was as simple as that! No one was going to make her fall out of love; it would be all her decision, if she ever made the decision at all.
Ever since she was little, Eli had found it hard to fall in love. But when she first laid eyes on Nickolas Gene Carter, her whole world changed. All she could think about whose those deep blue eyes and that cute blond hair and his cute nose. His lips turned her on more than she could ever imagine. Just seeing him sing made her nipples erect with lust and passion and most of all, love for him. Liz was the only one who knew this and Eli planned to keep it that way.
True, a lot of kids made fun of Eli and Liz for being BSB fans but Eli easily shut them up by slamming one of her fists into the person's mouth. Eli had always been very protective of Liz and the Backstreet Boys, mostly Nick. And since she was so protective of Liz and everything Liz loved, that meant that Eli was protective of Brian too!
Liz let out a tiny gasp and gripped Eli's arm. "What?!" Eli looked at the younger girl - not by much, only about three or four months.
Liz was staring straight ahead. Eli followed her eyes and saw Leigh Anne kissing Brian's cheek. Brian frowned but smiled sweetly. Liz looked kind of hurt so Eli forced her to look back at Nick. Nick was glancing back over his shoulder.
"Ugh, poor Brian. Getting a kiss from the Wonder-Bitch."
Liz giggled and Eli laughed, "I call her the Wonderbra-Bitch."
"Really?" Nick looked at her, smiling.
Eli nodded and looked at her best friend and smiled. Things were looking up already. That night was going to be one that they never forgot, Eli could feel it. She giggled slightly and looked back at Nick.
