Chapter 13
"I'm there!" she exclaimed. I wonder what her and Brian's 'inside joke' was, Nick thought as he watched Emily steal AJ's sunglasses. He felt so jelous then. "OK, everybody, bunch up!" Denise yelled. Emily gave AJ's sunglasses back and stood next to Fatima. AJ was next to her. Nick walked behind AJ and gave him a little push. AJ turned to him. "What?" AJ asked. "Move over." Nick whispered, he pointed to Emily who had her back to them. AJ rolled is eyes and let Nick take his place. "AJ, you're out of the picture. Nick, move in more." Denise scolded. She knew that lil' Nicky had his eye on this girl. Nick took a little step closer to her. And another little step, and another, and another. He was very slow and was making everyone wait. Eventually, Emily got fustrated. She grabbed his sleeve and yanked him right next to her. "Nick, I'm not gonna bite." she said and put her arm around his waist. The guys laughed. Nick didn't know what to say. He shook out of her grasp and wrapped both his arms around her waist. So now he was basically standing kinda hugging her from behind. He rested his head on her shoulder. She leaned against him and tilted her head to Fatima, who was smirking at Nick. "Much better. Smile!" Denise snapped the picture, "Don't move! We need some more." She took some more after that. About 3 of the group and 2 of just Emily and Nick. She focused just on them and made the background blured. So it looked like they were in their own world. Then some of Emily and Fatima. "OK, done. Now get out of here. The guys are waiting for you." Denise shooed them out. "What guys?" Emily asked them. "Their bodyguards. Never walk around without them." Fatima answered, "Do you need to call home?" "Nope, my parents are back home and I don't think my relatives would mind." They walked out the back door to a large limo. Standing next to the limo was 5 large guys. Emily reconized one of them as Lonnie. "Hey! What are you doing here?" Lonnie greeted her. "She's hangin' with us." Nick said happily. He was finally getting somewhere with her. Kind of. "Sure, no prob. This is James, Charlie, Mike and Daryl." Lonnie intoduced the rest of the bodyguards to Emily. She smiled at them. "OK, when we get to the mall, Kev, you're with me. Nick with Daryl. Howie with Charlie. Brian with Mike. And AJ with James. The girls go where ever. There may be some fans there. Like daughters of the store owners or something. And they may decide to bring some friends. Millions of stores there, so maybe millions of girls there too. None of your guys walk off alone, you get it?" Lonnie was serious. The guys nodded. "There can't be that many girls there, right?" Emily asked. "Could be. You're familiar with the mall right?" he asked me, I nodded, "Say every store at least 2 girls are there. How may stores are there?" "I get it." she answered. Lonnie and the rest of the bodyguards went off to another limo. They all went in the first one. In the limo....... I really didn't want to get mobbed by a bunch of teeny-boppers. I just want to shop. "Look at Emily's face." AJ laughed, "She's worried about our fans!" "I am." I admited, "I just wanna shop, not get chased by a bunch of scary, pre-pubescant tenny-boppers." "They're chasing after the guys, not us. If we spot a crowd then we'll ditch them." Fatima said. "We'll feed Nick to them." Brian joked, "Just run off while they strip Nick." "I can't believe that you guys have to put up with that." I said, "All those girls running after you." "Actually, it's kinda fun....." AJ said misheviously. "Sure, it is." I nodded. "It's been a long time since I've had a really good shopping spree." Fatima said. "Me too." "Emily, yeah right. You probably went yesterday." Fatima rolled her eyes. "I did go yesterday, but only to take my cousin shopping. My cousin! Oh my god!" I cried. I totally forgot about Lisa! "What?" Fatima asked. They rest of the guys had blank looks too. "What about your cousin?" Nick asked me. He was sitting very close next to me. "I lost her at the concert." I said. I opened my bag and grabbed my cell. As quickly as I could I dialed her number. I checked my watch. It read 12:26. Ring once, ring twice... "Hello?" someone answered sleepily. "Lisa?" "Yeah...who is this?" My heart finally stops pounding. She was OK. I would have been in so much shit...."It's Emily...." "What?!" she shrieked, fully awake, "Where were you?" "Where were you?" "I just turned around and you were gone! We got the worst seats. Couldn't even see the screens!" "I got pretty good seats. Are you OK? How did you get home?" "I'm fine, Caroline and I walked home." "What?!" I now shreiked, "You walked home?" "What were we suppose to do? Where are you? I just called Gramdma's house and she said you weren't home." "Hang on." I turned to the guys and grinned, "Can I tell her? She will freak." "Sure, why not?" Howie said. "Lisa? You'll never believe this. I'm with the Backstreet Boys." "Emmy, be serious. Where are you? Are you on drugs?" "First off, don't call me Emmy! And nooo....I am not on drugs! I am totally serious." "Emmy?" Nick raised his eyes brows at me. I playfully punched him. "I don't believe you." she simply said. "I'll prove it. Guys? Can you sing something?" They nodded and whispered among themselves. Then, they sat back. Nick reached for the phone. "I don't know, what he does to make you cry, But I'll be there to make you smile.I don't have a fancy car, to get to you I'd walk a thousand miles." The rest of the guys sang too, but I kinda blocked them out. I loved it when Nick sang. He got so into it. So emotional. I realized they had finished and I had been staring at Nick the whole time. I quickly reached for the phone."Lisa?" I asked, nobody answered, "Lisa, are you there?" "Emily?" someone else asked. "Yeah, who is this?" "It's Connie." She was Lisa's little sister. I liked her much more. "Oh, hey Connie. Where's Lisa?" "Lisa fainted." I burst out laughing. They looked at me weird. "OK, then. I'll see you tomorrow OK? I gotta go now." "OK, bye Emily." she said softly. "My cousin fainted." I said dropping my cell in to my bag. They laughed. "Worse has happened." Kevin said. "Like what?" "This girl stripped at our concert." "Are you serious?" I gasped, who would actually do that? "Right in front of Nicky too." AJ added to Kevin's comment. Nick smiled at the memory of the concert. I saw his smile. "Favorite concert, right Nicky?" I nudged him. He coughed. "Nooooo....." he stammered. "Here we are." the driver said.Back to........
