The group had just arrived in Bradenton, Florida and the bus stopped and Abby jumped off. She was so glad to finally get out of that bus. Someone could only take so much of being on a bus 24-7. She didn't know how the guys handled it all the time. Brian walked outside after her and took her hand in his.
He smiled his goofy, adorable smiled at her. "So, you wanna go with me while I get my teeth bleached for the show tonight. I surely can't go on stage with blue teeth."
Abby laughed. "I give AJ props for pulling that one." She laughed again.
"Well I'm going to think of a good one to get him back." Brian looked deep in thought.
Abby smiled mischievously. "You know, we haven't been alone together for a few days." She moved towards him and just as they were about to kiss Kevin yelled out the bus window.
"Brian get going or you'll be late for the show." Kevin yelled in his brotherly tone of voice.
Brian turned toward the window Kevin was at and saluted him. "Yes sir, Mr. Richardson, sir."
Kevin rolled his eyes and walked away from the window.
"Now where were we?" Brian pulled Abby into his arms and kissed her deeply.
She pulled away. "OK, lover boy. Let's get going. We don't have much time."
"One minute." Brian said. He ran back into the bus to find Nick still sulking in the bunkroom. "Nick man, come with me and Abby while I get my teeth bleached."
Nick looked at him. "Why are you getting your teeth bleached?"
Brian smiled to reveal his blue teeth. "AJ."
Nick cracked a smile for the first time in days. "Ok, I'll come."
Brian, Nick, and Abby climbed into a limo that was waiting for them. It would take them to get Brian's teeth done and then drive them directly to the concert.
"Oh Brian, I've been meaning to ask you something." Abby turned to face him.
"Not here Abby. Nick's with us." He joked.
"Ha, ha very funny." Abby said. "But I was wondering if you and the guys would mind if my friend Sarah coming along with us for the tour. I'd really like one of my friends here to enjoy this tour with me while you guys are doing photo shoots and concerts. She's a big fan of you guys too which should give her some extra points." She smiled.
Brian pretended to ponder the question. "I don't know. Nick what do you think?"
Nick decided to play along. "I'm not so sure either. I mean, Abby causes enough trouble on her own."
"Nicholas Gene Carter!" Abby squealed.
Nick laughed. "Only my mom calls me that when I'm in trouble."
"Well, consider yourself in trouble then." Abby joked.
"Seriously," Brian told her. "Sarah is welcome to come along with us."
"Great!" She kissed Brian's lips. "Thank you. Someone will have to go get her from the airport tonight after the concert."
"She's already on her way here?" Nick asked.
"Well, I knew Brian wouldn't tell me no." She smiled at Brian and kissed his lips gently.
Nick turned his face away from them. Seeing them so much in love made Nick feel even worse. He wanted his mystery girl there with him to hold and kiss.
"Nick would you mind going to the airport to pick her up with the limo after the show?" Abby asked. "I need to see Brian privately."
Brian smiled. "I like the sound of that."
Nick shrugged. "Sure I'll do it. I have nothing better to do with my down time."
