Two days later, I went out for a walk. I was doing that when I saw Lucy. "Hey, Lucy!", I said
"Hey, Cayo! Wuz up?", she said smiling.
"Cool. And you?"
"Great! Hey, did you bought the tickets?"
"Nope. Javi bought one for her. I don't want to go."
"Why?"
"I don't know. I just don't want to", I said with a little smile
"Oh, ok. So where are you going?"
"I'm just taking a walk. Wanna join me?"
"Sure. Why not?", and we started walking.
"You know what you're missing, no?", she asked me.
"What do you mean?", I said.
"I mean that you're missing a great concert. You don't want to see Howie?"
"Yes, he's my dreamboy, but I think it won't be very useful to spend $50 bucks in a ticket. I won't meet Howie anyway...."
"How can you say so?"
"Because it's true"
"Come on. Think positively!"
"How I can? I'm being real. I will never meet Howie"
"Ok. Whateva. Do you know when they come here?"
"Nope. You?"
"Yes. They're coming on Friday"
"That's great!"
"Today they'll be signing autographs in their Hotel. Wanna come?"
"I dunno. I won't get an autograph from Howie anyway...."
"Cayo...."
"Okay, okay.... I'll think positively. I'm gonna get an autograph of Howie"
"Good. Much bette.r"
"Whateva."
"So, are you coming with me?"
"Sure. Let's try to get an autograph from them"
"Alright!", she said and we went back to my house. There, we got inside.
"What a lovely place, Cayo"
"Thanks. I love this house"
"Ya know something? This house looks like my uncle's house. I just love it!"
"Really? That's phaty!"
"Yeah!", she said and we laughed.
"Ok. I'm gonna get dressed and we'll go to the hotel"
"Okie dokie. I'll wait for you here"
"Oka", and I went upstairs. Ten minutes later, I went back with her.
"Are you ready?", Lucy asked me
"Yes. Let's get outta here", I said and we left the house. Out, we jumped into the car.
"Wow, what a jeep!", Lucy said
"Thanks. And Guess it's name", I said.
"I dunno..."
"Everybody..."
"Backstreet's Back?"
"Nope. Everybody (jump inside of me)"
"Lol"
"I know. Hehe"
"Anyway. Let's go!"
"Alright!", I said and I drove outta the parking place. During the trip to the hotel, we were listening to the BSB.
"I love that song!", Lucy said while we were listening to 'All I Have To Give'
"Really? Howie loves it too!", I said with a big smile.
"I know. Ya know? Howie and I have so much in common!"
"Really?"
"Yup. We like the same song, we are from the same country...."
"Where are you from?"
"Orlando, Florida. I'm from the US"
"I knew it!"
"Why?"
"Because you don't know how to speak in spanish"
"Oh yeah... Hehe... Anyway, We are from the same country and, most of my friends, say that I look like him"
"Yes you look like him", I said looking at her. "But you're more alike to Pollyanna"
"Really?"
"Yup"
"Cool!", an she started laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing. Nevermind", she said and we arrived to the hotel.
"Have you brought a pic for they to sign up?", Lucy asked
"Oh shit! I forgot the pic! I won't get Howie's autograph!", I said
"Calm down. I'll see what we can do, ok?"
"Ok", and we went inside the hotel. It was full of fans. There might been kinda 15,000 of them inside the hall.
"Damn! There's so many fans in here!", Lucy said.
"Yeah! It will be kinda difficult to get The BSB's autographs", I said
"Don't think that. I know how we'll do it. Let's get in line"
"Ok", and we got in line.
When we were about to get them, the owner of the hotel said that the BSB were not going on signing autographs and asked us to leave the place. We started leaving, but Lucy stayed inside. When I saw her inside I went over her.
"What are you doing?", I said
"wait and see", she said while we looked the BSB leaving their chairs.
"HOWIE!!!!!!", Lucy yelled. He looked at us and waved his hand.
"Come here, gurl!", he yelled back. Lucy looked at me and took me with her. When we were in front of Howie he smiled at us.
"Hey Lucy! It's been so long I don't see ya", he said.
"Yeah! How are you doing?", she said
"Pretty cool. What about you?"
"Just great!"
"And your family?"
"Awesome. But mom is angry with you. You haven't gone to visit us. We have been missing you terribly"
"Sorry, Lucy, but I can't any free time. Sorry! I also have been missing you"
"Woooohoooo!", I said.
"What?", Lucy said
"You two are going steady, right?"
"We? Going steady? You must be joking?!", Howie said laughing.
"Why you say so?", I asked him
"'Cause she's not my girlfriend"
"So what is she?"
"She's my cousin!"
"You're what?", I said looking at Lucy.
"He's right. He's my big cousin. Sorry for not telling you before", Lucy said
"Jezz. This is weird!", I said sticking out my tongue and looking at the ceiling.
"Hehe. You're funny. What's your name?", Howie asked me.
"Mine?"
"Yes. Yours!"
"It's Carmen Gloria"
"Lovely name"
"Thanks". He smiled at me.
"What are you going to do tonight, Lucy?", he asked to his cousin.
"Nothing. You?", Lucy said
"I want to go to the disco. AJ and Brian are going too. Wanna come?"
"I dunno...."
"Brian is gonna be there!", I whispered in her ear.
"Okay, okay. I'll go!", she said
"Cool! That's great! But, there's a tiny problem..."
"What problem?", Lucy said
"Who'll go with AJ and me?, he said.
"Jezz, I dunno", she said looking at me.
"Hmmmm...... Carmen, would you like to go with me?"
"Me?", I said
"Yes you. You're the only Carmen I see here"
"I dunno...."
"Please!"
"Well I.... I..."
"Cayo, Howie is inviting you....", Lucy whispered in my ear.
"Okay. I'll go", I said
"Cool! Thanks Carmen!", she said sending me his cuttie smile.
"No. Thanks you for inviting me"
"No way! Thanks you!"
" Okay, okay. Stop you two!!!", Lucy said
"Calm down gurl!", Howie and I said together. Then we looked at each other and we started laughing.
"You two are a pair of jerks. Well, Cayo, we have to go...", Lucy said
"Who's Cayo?", Howie asked
"She. Carmen is Cayo", she said pointing me
"It's that true?", he said looking at me.
"Yes, that's my nickname. Don't laugh at it!", I said.
"I won't. So I'll call you Cayo"
"Whateva. If you want to"
"Ok.... Cayo.......cool uh, uh, uh uh, uh...."
"Stop it cousin! You that I hate Beavis and Butthead!, Lucy said
"Ok, Lu. Well, I also have to go. See ya tonight!"
"Ok. Bye Howie!"
"Bye Howie and thanks again", I said.
"No prob. See ya tonight, too!", he said pointing me with a big smile.
"Bye", Lucy and I say together.
"Bye!", he said, and he went bak with the guys.
"Jezz, he's a cuttie!", I said.
"I know. He's my cousin. he's the best!", Lucy said while I was opening the car's doors,
"What a cousin you've got. You're so lucky!"
"Why?"
"You met your dreamboy!"
"Shut up!", she said blushing.
"Hehe. You're blushing!"
"Whateva. Let's go"
"Ok", and I drove outta the parking place.
