Then I walked back into my room.

“Pizza?” I asked.

“Oh yeah,” Nick replied, “I’m starving.”

As we ate our pizza I was thinking about Sarah and Eminem going out, and wishing that I were Nick’s girlfriend.

“You miss your friend,” Nick asked, “don’t you?”

“Yeah,” I replied.

“Is something else wrong?” Nick asked.

“Sometimes I wish I was in her place,” I answered, “that I had a boyfriend because it gets lonely over here sometimes.”

“Yeah,” Nick agreed, “sometimes I get lonely too. I’m barely ever home so I don’t really ever have a girlfriend.”

Hmmm, he gets lonely too. It would just be great if we were going out together.

“Speaking of going out I was wondering, do you have a boyfriend,” Nick asked.

“No,” I replied.

“Do you want one?” Nick asked.

“What do you mean?” I inquired.

“Well,” Nick started, “I was wondering if you would go out with me.”

I was shocked. A Backstreet Boy was asking me to go out with him. I was so surprised, and I didn’t know what to say. I just sat there in silence.

Nick must have taken my silence the wrong way.

“Well,” Nick said sounding very embarrassed, “thanks for the pizza. See you tomorrow, I guess.”

He looked so hurt, I wanted to go out with him, but how did I let him know?

“Wait,” I ordered.

“What?” Nick asked.

I saw him turn around, his eyes were full of tears and he looked embarrassed.

“Are you serious?” I asked.

“I was,” Nick answered and turned away.

I don’t know what went through my mind at that moment but I leapt off the bed and ran to Nick and gave him a kiss on the lips.

I looked real quickly before I closed my eyes to see his reaction. His eyes got really big, and it was so cute.

When we stopped the kiss Nick asked, “Does that mean yes?”

I didn’t answer, but I smiled really big.

Nick hugged me.

“Do you want more pizza?” I asked.

“Anything to be with you,” Nick replied.

We laughed.

I loved spending that night with him, it was so wonderful. Around 11 Nick started to get up.

“Do you have to go now?” I asked.

“Not if you don’t want me to,” Nick replied.

He stood there and held my hand. I could see his eyes looked sad.

“I don’t want you to, but if you have to you can go,” I told him.

“I don’t want to go, but I have to,” He agreed sadly.

“You could come tomorrow,” I suggested.

“You mean earlier?” Nick asked.

“Yeah,” I replied.

“Aright,” Nick asked, “is 8 good for you?”

“7:30 is better,” I answered.

Nick smiled.

“Alright, I’ll be here at 7:30 then,” Nick replied.

We then walked down the stairs together and out the door and I realized he brought his car.

“You brought your car?” I asked.

“Yeah,” Nick replied, “If I could stay I’d take you for a spin.”

“That’d be fun,” I agreed.

“Goodnight,” Nick said.

He kissed me one last time that night and then got in his car.

“Goodnight,” I replied.

“See you tomorrow,” Nick said.

“Yes, see you tomorrow,” I replied.

Then Nick drove away. I saw him wave out his window and I waved back. I imagined him smiling when he saw me wave through his review mirror.
