Well, here I am. Yet, once again. Sitting on a very uncomfortable green couch. Seated next to me is Cindy. We are both keeping a low profile while Nick, Brian, Kevin, Howie, and AJ meet and greet with all their fans. Sometimes I enjoy watching the fans show their love and appreciation for the guys. Other times, like today. It made me sick to my stomache.

"Cindy? That girl, eyeing Nick over their? Doesn't she look like she's eyeing her prey?" I asked while raising my brow.

Cindy laughed and then nodded her head in agreement.

"Oh, yeah! And she's off!" Cindy and I watched closely as a girl dressed in a very tight, cream colored dress swung her hips over to Nick.

I watched, ammusingly. I was wondering how Nick was going to get rid of this one. Yet another girl throwing herself at him. But, he didn't try his hardest to get rid of her.

"Hey! And what's your name?" He asked.

"Candy!" She squealed.

I almost threw up as I heard her say this. Candy? I hope she's not a hooker. (No offense to anyone named Candy!) I tried my hardest to listen to what she was saying to him. The last thing I heard was.

"Can you sign this-" And then she turned her back to me and all I could do was see Nick's face.

"What is she doing?" I asked Cindy.

"Asking him to sign something, I guess!" She said.

"Why is his face like that?" I referred to the large smile on Nick's face as he signed something ON Candy.

"Oh..OH! I know why! Well, you'd look that way too if a guy asked you to sign his underwear." Cindy said.

I laughed, not believing Cindy for one second. But then I saw Candy fixing her dress and Nick putting the cap back on his pen. That was enough for me. I got up to leave the room and then I saw her reach up and give him a peck on the cheek. Now, fans always' kiss Nick on the cheeks. Or more likely, they ask for a kiss or hug and he happily replies. This was different. She just did it, and he had no objections.

"I've gotta go!" I said while hiding my pain.

"Tia! Hon, wait! Let me come with you!" Cindy said.

"No, Cin! Don't worry, I'll be fine. I just need to be alone right now. If Nick asks where I am, tell him I'm buying a bra!" I sniffled and then walked out.

***************************************************************

I had gone back to the hotel. I was by myself and rather content with being by myself. Especially after what I had wittnessed. I was in the gym, working out, clearing my head.

"And this is for the bra!" I said while punching the bag. "And this is for the kiss on the cheek!" I punched it again. "And this is for being named, Candy!" I punched the bag and caught my breath.

Just then, almost as if a miracle Nick walked into the gym. He looked like he had actually been looking for me, hard. Really hard.

"Tia! Their you are! You gave me a heart attack. I thought you were kidnapped or something." He said while following me to the treadmill.

"Oh, we can't all be that lucky, can we?" I said sarcastically and started running.

He scrunched up his nose. "What?" He said while laughing.

"Well, I mean, if I had been gone longer, that would have left you more precious time with Candy and then maybe instead of signing her bra, you could have worked your way down to the underwear too!" She said while running faster on the treadmill.

"Tia! Come, on! Your not, Jealous are you? Candy is just one of the fans that have been with us from the very beginning. You know, those fans I always tell you about? The ones the guys and I kept close relations with?" Nick said.

"Well, close relations or no close relations, Nick! Next time you wanna sign someone's bra. It better be mine, or one of your sisters! Not a girl named Candy!" Tia patted her neck down with a towel and walked out of the gym.
