Chapter 10
"Mmmmm! Pizza!" a young voice cried out. I looked up and saw Aaron. He is such a cutie, I thought. There was something was behind him. "Aaron, no!" Fatima yelled. "AHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed. I jumped on Nick's lap and clung on to his neck. "Wha-?" Aaron cried. I was still screaming on the top of my lungs. Nick was now standing up and was carrying me firefighter style. The giant icky thing was coming toward me. I clung on to Nick even harder. "Emily! Calm down. He won't hurt you." Nick said in my ear. He sounded a little breathless. I felt his hand on my waist. "So Emily has a weakness....." Brian said. He grinned evily at me. "Not funny, Bri." I said, I playfully glared at him. "I'm sorry!" Aaron said looking at me with wide eyes. He is so cute. "That's OK." I answered, "Your pet just surprised me." "I'll say." AJ snorted. "I'll go put him away. Better save me some pizza!" he said and ran out with his pet following him. Nick was still carrying me. "Ummm....Nick? You can put me down now." "Oh yeah! I forgot." he stuttered. He blushed and set me down. I heard the guys snicker. "Emily, you're still scared of reptiles?" Fatima teased. I sat back down on the couch next to Nick. "Yeah!" I snapped. "Where's the pizza?" Aaron demanded. He was back WITHOUT the lizard. I handed him a box under the table. "I'm sorry." he said, he paused for a second, "Who are you?" "I'm Emily." I said, "And it's OK." "How come you're backstage?" Aaron asked. "Nick gave me a pass." I heard the guys snicker again. I looked at Nick. He was still red. "Wanna play Nintendo64?" he asked me. "Sure." I jumped off the couch and follow Aaron to the other side of the room. While we were playing...... "Nick, weren't you glad that Aaron let his lizard out?" AJ smirked. "You got to hold her twice." Fatima teased. "You guys! Stop, she can still hear!" Nick whispered. He looked over at her. She was concentrating on Mariocart. "She seems like a nice girl. Kinda quiet, though." Howie commented. "Emily?!? Not even!" Fatima said. "She hasn't said much." Kevin agreed with Howie. "She just doesn't know you guys well enough." "I think she doesn't like us." Brian said. "How can she if you guys aren't even talking to her!" Nick accused. "We're talking to her." Howie remembered their conversation. "Yeah, but you seem like you don't wanna!" Nick shot back. "Huh?" Fatima had a blank look on her face, "What are you talking about?" "They don't want me to get to know Emily." Nick whined. "And why not?" Fatima asked. The guys exchanged glances. "Nick, it's for your own good." Kevin said. "If you get to know her really well, and really like her, what will happen after tonight?" AJ asked. "Look, Nick, we like her, OK? She seems nice enough. But we just don't wanna see you getting hurt by this girl." Brian said. "Emily isn't gonna hurt nobody." Fatima said quietly. She's too afraid to get hurt herself, she thought. "We aren't saying Emily's gonna hurt Nick intentionally......" Kevin started but was interupted by Emily cheering. "Woo-hoo!" Emily shreiked. They saw her jump up and started doing some sort of victory dance. "Hey! No fair!" Aaron argued, "Rematch!" "I won!" she cried energetically. Aaron pouted "I can't believe I got beaten by a girl." he muttered. "What did you say?" Emily cried, she started tickling Aaron. "Stop!" Aaron gasped. The guys couldn't pass up the chance. They joined the tickle fest. "OK, now stop." Emily cried. All tickling stopped long enough for Aaron to squirm off. The guys exchanged an evil glance and looked at Fatima and Emily. "No......." Emily said, reading their minds. Too late, they pounced on them. Howie and Kevin teaming up on Fatima and Brian, Nick and AJ on Emily. "Nick, stop!" she cried laughing. Brian and AJ had slowed down a bit and was now watching with interest as Nick rolled on top of Emily. "Ugh! Get off! You're heavy!" Nick reluctantly rolled off. "OK, stop with the tickling!" Fatima announced. "Hey guys....let's play some b-ball." Aaron yelled from the couch. "Where?" Emily asked. "We got a net set up in another room." Nick explained, "C'mon!" He dragged her off the floor and out the room. Aaron followed. Everybody else just smiled. "They look really cute together." Fatima said looking at the guys. Thet were all quiet for a moment. Thinking the same thing. "Think it will last?" Brian asked. All eyes turned all Fatima. She shrugged her shoulders and walked after Nick and Emily.Back to...........
