[[ Absolutely Backstreet ]]

Chapter 22


"Hello," I said.

"Hi Kelly," AJ said. "Look don't hang up I just wanted to tell you to turn on channel 5 and watch it."

"Why?"

"Just watch it."

I turned the TV on and turned it to channel 5. Rosie was coming on from commercial.

"If you haven't been watching I'm here talking with the hottest pop group since New Kids on the Block, the Backstreet Boys," Rosie said. "Can I ask you guys some questions?"

"Sure," they all said in unison.

"AJ, I've heard that you have a girlfriend. Is this true?"

"Yes it is. Her name is Kelly and we've been together for practically a year. We met at a concert of ours and we've been together ever since."

I heard all the fans in the audience awwing with sadness. I then realized that my hands were shaking as Rosie asked AJ more questions about me.

"So what is she like? I'm sure all of your fans are wondering," Rosie said.

"She's wonderful. She's funny, intelligent, caring, and best of all she's there waiting for me when I come home from touring," AJ said.

"Sounds like you found an angel," Rosie said.

"It feels that way sometimes," AJ laughed.

Rosie then asked the rest of the boys some questions, but I wasn't listening.

"Hello," I said into the phone.

"Did you watch it?" he asked.

"Yes," I sniffled.

"And?"

"And I wish you were here right now," I said.

"Do you?" he asked from behind me. I jumped up and there he was looking as fine as ever.

"That was very thoughtful of you to say those things about me."

"I wanted everyone to know that I was involved and that I was crazy about you," AJ said walking over to me.

I started to cry shakily and said, "I don't know whether to throw you out or kiss you."

"Kiss me," he said against my lips.

I smiled into his eyes and we kissed. I hoped that I was doing the right thing by taking him back because if not there would be hell to pay. AJ pulled away from me and said, "Where's Xander?"

"Sleep, why?"

"I've got something to show you."

"Where?"

"At home."

I then knew what he was getting at. AJ and I hadn't made love in like 7 or 8 months. I smiled up at him as I ran upstairs, got Xander and his stuff, and drove back to AJ's house. As soon as we got there I put Xander in his crib.

AJ lifted me into his arms and carried me into our bedroom. About three hours later I was on top of AJ putting in work (ha ha ha) when Xander started crying.

"Damn, just one more minute," AJ gasped grabbing my hips.

"Come on AJ the baby is crying," I said climbing off of him. I slipped AJ's shirt over her head and went into the room. Xander was wet so I changed him as fast as I could and returned to the room. AJ was lying in the bed with a pillow over his head.

"Is AJ upset?" I asked in a baby voice climbing on the bed.

"What do you expect when you stopped at the worst possible moment?" he groaned.

I kissed his chest as I said, "I'll make it worth your while that you waited."

About 45 minutes later we walked downstairs dressed again. The doorbell was ringing like crazy. I opened the door and Shannah practically fell into the foyer.

"Oh my goodness there you are. When I couldn't find you I didn't know what to think. And exactly what are you doing here? I hope you're here because you saw Rosie today and you and AJ are back together. Am I right because I hope I'm right, you guys are such a cute couple and I would hate to see you two throw that away," Shannah rambled.

"Shannah, calm down."

"Are you two back together because I swear if you have another fight I am going to scream," Shannah laughed.

"We're together again," AJ said from behind me. I looked at him over my shoulder and smiled. It felt good to be with AJ again.

"Cool!" Shannah said and stepped out the door. She yelled out to her car and out stepped Jessica, Dominique and Hazel.

"Oh no the whole crew is here," AJ sighed.

"Yeah well we were out looking for Kelly," Jessica said walking into the house. I made everyone something to drink and went to bring Xander down so that I could watch him better. I had this one crazy fear that if I left Xander alone too long he'd disappear or something. As all of us girls stood in the kitchen getting water bottles and sodas Hazel began singing Nick's part of "All I Have to Give". Then Jessica joined in singing Brian's part. Of course Shannah had to join in with Howie's part and then well me with AJ's. We were harmonizing pretty well and I know we all noticed that we sounded pretty good together. We all got into the song dancing and acting like we were in a video. Everyone was surprised when we (Jessica, Hazel, Shannah, and I) hit the same notes as our men did. (If you've heard the song then you know which notes I'm talking about.) When the last few bars of the song faded away we all were surprised to hear clapping from the doorway. AJ had been listening to us the entire time.

"That was amazing," AJ said.

"We were just playing around," Jessica said blushing.

"No, you guys were great. You all were in sync (get it, N Sync LOL) and flowed well together. I think I'm feeling another group starting," AJ said.

"What?" I asked.

"You guys should get a manager. Maybe you could open up for us when our tour starts up again," AJ suggested.

"How about we all have a huge slumber party?" Hazel asked suddenly.

"What!" we all exclaimed looking at her as if she was crazy.

"I mean we all can just sit in the den watching movies all night and joke around to the sun comes up," Hazel explained.

"Yeah, that sounds like fun," Dominique commented.

Even AJ agreed that that sounded like a lot of fun. Everyone called their boyfriend on their cell phones and told them to get over there as soon as possible. I volunteered to go get the movies. Knowing they wouldn't let me rent more than 4 at a time I took Jessica and Shannah with me to Blockbuster. We came back with Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, G.I. Jane, Ace Ventura Pet Detective (of course), Halloween, Clue (for AJ), Aliens (for Nick), Mercury Rising, Conspiracy Theory, and Nightmare on Elm Street (my personal favorite). When we came back everybody was there and just kicking it in the den.

Once again I got some drinks and sat down on AJ's lap. We were all just talking when AJ brought up the singing thing.

"You guys should have been here earlier it seems our girls are accomplished singers too," AJ said.

"AJ," I warned. Shannah threw a pillow at his head while all the other girls told him to shut up.

"What?" Kevin asked.

"I heard them singing All I have to give in the kitchen and they were pretty good," he explained.

"Really Hazel bean?" Nick asked Hazel.

"I want to hear, sing for us," Howie told Shannah.

"No," Jessica said.

"Come on," Brian begged.

"No!" we all said at once. Of course you know how the story went. They all begged and pleaded until we couldn't take it anymore.

"Fine, let's sing All I have to give again," I suggested.

"Fine with me," Hazel said.

Hazel cleared her throat and counted 1,2,3 and started to sing. The face Nick gave her was absolutely comical. He looked as if she had grown an extra head or something. Then Jessica started to sing and Brian could not stop smiling. We all sang the chorus snapping to the invisible beat. Shannah flowed with Howie's part with Howie moving his head in encouragement. Finally all eyes were on me to sing the last verse. I sang AJ's part all the while pointing to AJ especially when the verse read "?all the love I have inside, I love you". And then we harmonized perfectly on that one part (All, everything I have is for you). But the best part was when we blew them away with hitting those high notes. They all looked like they would have a heart attack when we each hit our notes correctly (especially Howie because Shannah hit that absolutely high note). The song ended and all the BSBs clapped.

"That was great baby," B-Rok told Jessica.

"I cannot believe any of you could sing much less hit notes," Howie said kissing Shannah's cheek.

"We're getting you guys a manager," Nick said.

"Yeah tomorrow I'm going to make some calls," Kevin said.

"Oh my gosh we're going to be a group," Hazel squealed.

"Whoa Nelly, calm down Hazel," I said.

We discussed singing for a bit and then we started the movies. That must have been the most fun night ever imagined. We all joked, laughed and played around for hours. During Nightmare on Elm Street I turned out all the lights and we all coupled up. In one particular part Hazel jumped and we all laughed because this must've been everyone's 50,000th time watching this movie.
