"Wow," Brian said as 23-year-old Michelle Stiles walked down the stairs in their newly purchased two-story beachfront house. "You look amazing..." She stood about 5?6" tall with long tan legs. She was wearing a light blue, cotton tank top and a light blue full skirt that had a slight resemblance to a ballerina skirt which all enhanced her already blue eyes. This outfit accentuated her every curve. Her long, dark brown hair was swept up into a French twist with ringlets framing her face. Brian looked her up and down and smiled.
"You don?t look too bad yourself mister," Michelle replied. Brian was wearing a black suit and white dress shirt underneath. He was wearing a blue tie that Michelle had given him for his last birthday. His blondish brown hair was gently tousled in a way that made him look even more handsome. Brian?s baby blue eyes sparkled as he held out his hand and she took it happily. Her tan skin was soft to the touch. He pulled her to him and he leaned close, kissing her sweetly on the lips.
They continued to kiss when they heard, "Guys! Are you ready yet?" Nick entered through the front door and stopped when he saw them kissing. "Oh sorry!" he apologized, turning away. The couple stopped kissing and they both smiled and laughed.
"Ever heard of knocking, Frack?" Brian asked, turning towards his best friend.
"Yea, but the door was open, so I just let myself in. Sorry ?bout that."
"It?s alright Nicky," Michelle said.
"Oh, wow, Chelle! You look beautiful," he said, gazing at her with a smile of approval. Michelle blushed slightly and took Brian?s hand.
"Thanks Nicky."
"Welcome. So, are you guys ready? Cuz the guys are waiting outside."
"Yup, just let me get my bag," Michelle said as she reached for her dressy bag that lay on the table next to her. "Alright, all set!" Nick walked out, followed by the couple. Michelle heard whistles and catcalls when she neared the black limo. She blushed even more and said, "Stop you guys!"
"Aw, look at that! We made her blush!" AJ exclaimed. He gave her a quick hug and then opened the back door of the stretch limo. "Your carriage awaits," he said with a silly English accent.
"Why thank you, my good sir," she replied in the same accent. The bunch laughed. Michelle and Brian got into the limo. Kevin, Howie, Nick, and AJ got in after them and the limo was off to the Ch�teau, an expensive restaurant in downtown Tampa.
Michelle and Brian had been going out even before there were the Backstreet Boys. She knew AJ from their high school choir and they became the best of friends. He introduced her to Brian after one of their annual concerts. It was love at first sight. From that day forward, they were attached at the hip. Once the Backstreet Boys were established, Michelle helped organize everything alongside Denise McLean, AJ?s mom. When they left for Europe, Michelle stayed behind to finish up school. They missed each other terribly, but Brian brought Michelle over whenever she could make it. As soon as the European stunt was over, Brian immediately flew back to Orlando to be with Michelle. Their relationship was strong and it seemed nothing could break them.
* The Ch�teau *
"So what does the loving couple want to eat?" Kevin asked as he passed a menu to her. Tonight was Brian and Michelle's sixth anniversary. She opened it and scanned the list of entrees.
"Oh, I don?t know! It?s all so expensive!" Michelle responded.
"Nothing?s too expensive for my baby girl," Brian said, slipping his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. He peered over her shoulder and suggested a few dishes. The waiter came and they ordered their food. The group sat for awhile waiting to eat. Finally the main course arrived and they ate heartily.
"Mmm, that was delicious," Michelle commented as she finished up her dinner. "I can?t believe you guys could get a reservation here."
"Hey, we?re the Backstreet Boys. We can get anything!" Brian exclaimed. They all laughed and a live pianist began to play.
"I will be taking requests tonight, so please feel free to ask for a song," the pianist announced. Michelle thought for a moment.
"C?mon," she said, taking Brian?s hand.
"Where are we going?" he asked as they got out of their seats. Michelle led him towards the pianist. She leaned down and whispered in the pianist?s ear. He nodded his head and began playing a song. Michelle guided Brian to the small dance floor in front of the white grand piano. She wrapped her arms around his neck. Brian got the hint and slid his arms around her slender waist.
Look into my eyes - you will see What you mean to me
Their eyes locked and the world seemed to stop. Michelle smiled and lay her head on Brian?s chest as he pulled her closer. This was their song. On their very first date, ?(Everything I Do) I Do It For You? was the first song they ever danced to. Brian hummed the melody in her ear.
Search your heart
Search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you
Look into my heart
You will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am
Take my life
I would give it all I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you
There's no love
Like your love
And no other
Could give more love
There's nowhere
Unless you're there
All the time
All the way
Michelle lifted her head from Brian?s chest and looked into his eyes. Brian slowly leaned towards her. Their lips met in a passionate kiss.
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you
I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you
Ya I'd die for you
Ya know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you
"Happy anniversary, Chelle," Brian said to her. "Baby girl, I love you..." he whispered as they broke from their kiss.
"Brian, I love you too," Michelle whispered back and they kissed sweetly.
