Chapter 7
"We need 3 volunteers to come up here! Who wants to?" Howie yelled. Just about every girl screamed and hands shot up in the air. Nick usually hated this part of the show. Having to pick one girl to dance with. Usually they're really shy or they wanted someone else and are quite rude or they immediatly propose to him. but this time, he was gonna enjoy the song. "We all know who Nicky boy wants!" AJ said out loud. There was still screams. There was non-stop screams during the concert. Nick glanced at the girl in time to notice the girl next to her give her a slight nudge in the ribs. "OK, to make this fair, we are gonna throw out these teddy bears and whoever catches them can come up." Kevin said camly handing Howie and Nick each a teddy bear. Kevin threw his first then Howie. Girls fought over them, even more screams..... "Ummm....don't fight! No hitting!" Kev said, losing his cool. Nick chuckled and walked over to 'his' girl. He stood directly over her and smiled his sweetest smile. He then gave her the teddy bear. When she eventually accepted it, he grabbed her hand and dragged her up on stage. Me...... "OK, to make this fair, we are gonna throw out these teddy bears and whoever catches them can come up." Kevin said. "See. You don't know that Nick is gonna throw it to me!" I said triumphantly to Cassy. "We'll see...." she said back in an equally triumphant voice. Cassy then pointed at the stage. Nick was coming over to where we were and was holding the white teddy bear. He stood there and then practically handed me the bear. I didn't wanna take it, not with every girl around me glaring at me. Cassy shoved me harder this time. "What are you waiting for?" I took it. As I was accepting it, Nick grabbed my arm and dragged me up onto the stage. It was cool. The beginning notes were starting and Nick lead me to the small Eroupean-like tables. He pulled out a chair for me and I sat. He sat across from me. "You know-" I started but was cut off. "Wait. Before you start...what's your name?" he asked. He blushed slightly. He is adorable. "My name's Emily." I said. "I'm Nick." "I kinda, knew that." I replied, "I feel bad. I shouldn't be up here." "Why not?!" Nick said, a worried look crossed his face. "I know theres lots more girls out there that would want to be in my spot a whole lot more than me." I gestured out to his audiance. "Yeah, but....." Nick stuttered. He had no idea what to say. Luckily, he was saved. It came to the part of the song where they were suppose to slow dance. "Would you like to dance?" he asked, grinning at me. He held out his arm and I took it. He guided me out a little more, we were now in the spotlight along with Howie, Kevin and their partners. AJ and Brian was sing the chorus. My arms were around his neck and his were wrapped around my waist. He towered over me. He was about almost a whole foot taller than me. We swayed to the music. I had no idea what to say. But I sure was enjoying the moment. "Are you nervous?" he asked me. He looked in to my eyes. "Nervous about what?" I asked back. "We're slow dancing in front of about 20,000 people." "You mean if I have stage fright? Nope!" "Not even a little bit?" he teased me. "I've been in front of huge crowds since I was 3. I'm use to it." "I still get nervous." "Chicken." I said grinning. He made a face at me. "That's really mature." I commented. He just smiled. He began to lower his face to mine. "I still feel really guilty." I said, turning my face to the audiance. Was he going to kiss me? Why the heck did I turn away? "You really should have picked someone else." "I just wanted to get to know you" he said slowly, "But I guess I could have done that backstage right?" "If I went, yeah." "What do you mean?" a worried look crossed his face again, "You are going, right?" "I'm not sure. But I don't-" I was cut off by him picking me up. He threw me over his shoulder lightly and grabbed my bag which was lying on our table. "Nick! What the heck are you doing?!Put me down!" I struggled to get off but he kept a firm hold on my legs, which were hanging over his chest. The fans were booing now. The guys have stopped singing and dancing. All eyes were on us. Now I was feeling nervous. What was he doing? He then took Brian's mic and, with me still on his shoulder, said "I'll be right back." And with that he carried me backstage. I heard the guys laughing. "Nick, put me down NOW!" I said in my toughest voice. "NO!" he said stubbornly. He walked in to this room with a TV, tables with food and stuff and a big couch. There was clothes everywhere. He set me down. I glared at him. "What the heck do you think your doing?" I asked him firmly. "Emily, promise me you won't leave!" he said looking me in the eye again. I love and hated it when he did that. He had an effect on me and I wasn't sure what it was. "What if I do leave?" I challenged him. I looked at him square in the eye. I just couldn't tear my eyes away from his. He grinned, "Then I'll just have to keep you hostage!" "No, you're not!" "Sure I can!" he said, then somebody walked in. She looked really familiar. "Nick, get your butt out there. Gary is freaking." she said. Oh my GOD! I know who she is! "Fatima, don't let Emily go, OK? Please? Thanks!" He turned to me, "Please don't go, not until after the concert." There it is again! The puppy eyes. He could have so easily seduced me. "Fine...." I said as reluctantly as I could. He grinned and raced out of the room. "Look like Nicky's got a crush---Oh my god! Emily! Is it really you?" Fatima screamed. "In da flesh!" I said happily. We hugged.Back to...........
