Amaya and Yvette turned around, because of the voice and they saw Nick standing in front of them.
"I'm sorry!" said Amaya
"I can't believe you made me say that!" Yvette said. A tear came down from her face and she ran to her room.
"Yvette!" Nick screamed as he ran after her.
"What happened?!?" AJ asked, coming into the kitchen
"I can't believe I did that to one of my best friends!" Amaya said, covering her mouth.
"But what happened?" AJ said
"I didn't believe what she said about you two going out... I was pissed off… then she tried to explain me and she said that you were her friend and..."
"Don't worry, she told me..."
"... and that she liked Nick... I really messed up..."
AJ just stood there in silence.
.......................................................................
"Yve?" Nick asked gently, while opening Yvette's door "you in there?"
"No" she replied
He stepped into the room and saw Yvette looking out the window.
"I..." he started cautiously "I overheard what you said..."
She sighed softly but Nick still noticed.
"I..." he started again only this time nervous... "If I'm gonna do this, you got to face me" he said decisively.
She stood up, but her back was still to Nick. He put his arms on her waist and turned her around. Her eyes were a mix of emotions.
"Is this the right thing?" He wondered "Oh my god! She hates me!"
"I hope he doesn't think I hate him." Yve thought. She was afraid her nervousness might come off as anger.
"I heard what you said... I can forget it..."
"NO!!!!!" she screamed silently
"... or I can tell you something..."
He didn't wait for her to answer. Her eyes had all the response he needed. He leaned for a kiss and Yvette was almost waiting for Amaya to return the favor and open the door, but all there was, was silence.
.......................................................................
"Shut up, AJ" Krystel said "I can't listen!"
"I'm quiet!" AJ protested
"Why is it quiet all of a sudden?" Carla asked
The other girls and the four remaining Backstreet Boys had their ears pressed against Yvette's door.
"Shut up, AJ!" Alexandra said
"Fine" he hissed
.......................................................................
She could feel his breath.
"What the hell am I doing?" she thought "I can't do this!"
"No!" she blurted
"What are you doing now wise ass?" she asked herself Yvette pulled away from his embrace.
"I can't do this..." She walked around the room shaking her head.
"No, no no" she mumbled (A/N - No, she was not crazy!)
Nick just stood there. After a few more laps around the room, she stopped in front of the door and reached for the doorknob.
.......................................................................
"Oh shoot! She's coming out" Howie said.
Everyone scrambled and took an innocent position on the hall... the doorknob twisted...
.......................................................................
The cold of the metal doorknob was like a reality check. Yvette finally realized and understood what was going on with Nick. She turned around and faced him. Then, ran towards him and threw her arms around him and kissed him. At first, Nick was a little tense, but then he relaxed and returned her kiss.
"This feels so right" she thought "this feels so right"

"I'm starving" Brian said
Between all the Nick-Yvette, Yvette-AJ commotion nobody had eaten lunch. After their little scene in Yvette's room, they had walked out of the room holding hands and spent the next half hour talking in the terrace.
"I feel like going to the beach..." Krystel said
"Me too" Carla said
"Who wants to go to the beach?" AJ hollered
"I do" Amaya answered walking into the kitchen where Brian was already eating a sandwich.
"Really? Kev asked surprised
"Sure" Amaya answered
"Isn't it a little late?" Howie asked
"No! we still have like five hours of light..." Maya said
"Then, what are we waiting for?" AJ asked "Go tell Yvette and Nick?" he asked Maya.
"Sure thing" she said
Amaya walked over to the terrace and found Nick and Yve talking in the hammock.
"You guys! We're going to the beach... wanna come?"
"Nah! I think I'll stay..." Nick said. Then, he looked at Yvette. Yvette looked at him.
"I think I'll stay too" she said
"Whatever" Maya shrugged
She went upstairs where everyone was grabbing their bathing suits and towels. Then, they met downstairs in the living room.
"Are they coming?" Brian asked
"Nope" Amaya replied
"Are we gonna go in one car or two? Howie asked
"Let's take both" Carla answered
"More space that way" Krystel agreed
The,n they went to the garage and got in the car: Howie and Alexandra went in the rented car with AJ riding shotgun and Amaya driving. Brian, Kevin Carla and Krystel went in Carla's car. They stayed at the beach, when the sun started to set. The group was walking silently on the beach, when Kevin grabbed Carla's hand.
"Guys, Carla and I will go walk somewhere else..." Kevin said
"Go ahead" Howie replied
They went to a solitary spot on the beach. They sat side-by-side, Indian style.
"I wanted to talk to you..." Kev said
"What do you wanna talk about?" Carla asked " Is something wrong?"
"Well... yes... no..."
"Decide Kevin"
"Well, I really like you and..."
"You look very tense... relax yourself... do you mind if I give you a
back
rub?" Carla asked with a very caring look.
"This is so perfect" Carla said
"It would be more perfect if I do this..." Kevin grabbed Carla's hands
and
pulled her in front of him. He leaned down and at first he kissed her
softly
and then more passionately. When they pulled apart...
"Come on!" Kevin shouted.
He grabbed her by the hand and started running
through the beach. At one moment Kevin started to chase Carla.
"I'm gonna get you!" Kevin shouted
"In your dreams, honey!" Carla screamed
They started running towards the water... When they got there, they
started a
fight in the water, when Carla started running to the shore and Kevin
continued chasing her.
Suddenly, Carla tripped and fell face first into the sand
"Awwwww!" came Carla's muffled cry
"Oh my Lord! Are you Ok??" Kevin said rushing at her.
"No, I'm not ok... I think I twisted my ankle..." she said as Kevin hugged
her up.
"I can't" Carla cried
"You can't stand up?" Kev asked worried
"It hurts a lot"
"Don't worry... It'll be alright..." Kevin said as he kissed Carla's
forehead "I'm sorry"
"For what?"
"For chasing you.."
"Don't worry... I'll be ok... come on, let's go back to the group..."
"But, you can't walk a lot and we don't know where they are."
"I'll to my best, come on" Kevin grabbed her by the waist to help her
walk... 15 minutes later, they found the group.
"What happened?" Krystel asked
"I twisted my ankle ,while Kevin was chasing me." Carla replied
"But... are you ok?" Howie asked
"Yeah, I'm alright..."
"Well, let's go back to the house, so that Carla could rest" Brian said
They drove by McDonald's (AJ's request) for dinner and then they went
back
to the house.
