Nick:
I drove off to AJ that afternoon. That girl sure was a good looking lady. She seemed real. Not like the typical kind of “Oh you are “The” Nick Carter from the BSB” kind of girl. That’s why I, while she was checking her address and phone number with that assistant, quickly typed her phone number and address on my cell phone and saved it. Maybe I’d text her tonight. Perhaps, as a surprise or something. There was something about her. I wanted to get to know her. She said that she would be on the beach again, next Monday. But I didn’t knew if I could wait that long. I smiled when I thought back at AJ. He’s such a great dog. So sweet. I figured that AJ would love the fact that Kirsten called her dog AJ. Did she know who I am? I wondered. I guessed so. She had to. I mean, she did have AJ’s latest album. So it would be strange if she didn’t knew who I was. But I’m glad that she didn’t went nuts. I liked her. It’s funny how life can take new meaning.
I arrived at AJ’s place. I parked my car and got out. AJ stood outside and walked towards me. “He bro” he greeted me. “Hey” I grinned. “How are you doing man?”. “I’m fine bro” AJ said “and what about you?”. “I’m fine, I just went for a walk with the dogs at the beach”. “Oh that’s nice. I’ve been planning to do that myself, but of course I had plenty of other stuff to do”. “Yeah, I know. It’s familiar haha. But you never know what happened to me at the beach” I said. “Tell, me bro, I wanna hear everything” AJ grinned. So I told him about my meeting with Kirsten and AJ. He laughed his butt of with AJ being the name of the dog. He felt honored that this dog was named after him. It was great. He asked if he looked like AJ the Lab so I grinned and said that he did. I told him that I wasn’t sure if AJ was as soft as AJ the Lab but hey, there had to be a difference right. So I told him that AJ got bitten by one of my dogs and that I drove him to the vet, well I followed Kirsten and AJ, and paid for the damage. And that I took advantage of the fact that her address and phone number where checked by the assistant and quickly saved them on my phone. “That’s a good move, Don Juan” AJ said. “Yeah, well I bet you would do the same if you where in my shoes” I replied. “Yeah, of course, you know me” AJ said. “But are you planning in getting to know her better, or ask her out?” he asked. “Well, the first impression is really good” I replied. “And she looks pretty damn good. And she’s nice. Normal, you know. Kinda like the girl next door, but then better” and I started to blush a little. Of course AJ saw that and immediately started bugging me with it. “Wow, she’s taking over man. I think you have a crush on her. You sure have the hots for this girl”. “Yeah I do” I admitted. “But I guess you would feel the same AJ” I said. “Well maybe you can take her picture, next time you’ll meet her. Than I can check her out and see if your right” and he blinked his eye. “You bastard, she’s mine AJ, not yours. You’ll have to go and find yourself your own misses buddy” I smiled. “Doesn’t she have some nice looking girlfriends?” AJ asked. “I really don’t know haha. I haven’t met her friends yet” I said. We had a nice afternoon and I stayed over for dinner. Around nine o’clock I decided that it was time to go home. I took the dogs in my car and drove off. When I got home I let the dogs in the house and turned on the TV. For some reason I couldn’t focus on the programs that was broadcasting at that moment. My mind wondered of to Kirsten. What would she be doing right now? Would she be at home or with friends. Maybe she already had a boyfriend. Would she be interested in me? “ Oh come on Carter, you usually never are this insecure” I scowled out loud. My telephone went off. It was Aaron. I didn’t feel like picking up. I’d call him back later. After the phone stopped ringing I picked it up and typed a text message:
Hi Kirsten, thanks for the wonderful “little” walk to the car today. Would you like to join me for lunch, this Saturday? Let’s say about twelve o ‘clock? If you want I’ll pick you up at your place? I’ll bring a bone for AJ. Love Nick
I hesitated. Would it be wise to send this text message? Or would I make a complete fool out of myself? Perhaps it was better to wait until next Monday. “No, Nick. Stop being a wimp. You’re going to send it right now”. And I pressed on the “send” button.
Within five minutes she texted back: Hi Nick, thanks for the invitation. I’d love to go out for lunch with you, this Saturday. You can pick me up. I figure you know my address, since you already have my number too (lol). AJ wants me to give you a paw and he’s looking forward to that bone. Love Kirsten.
I grinned out loud. I texted back: I’m looking forward seeing you again.
She texted: Me too!
I texted back: Do you feel like joining on MSN?
Kirsten: When and how, because I don’t have your e-mail?
I replied: You show me yours and I’ll show you mine.
She gave me her e-mail address and we started chatting on MSN.
Me: Hi
Kirsten: Hi
Me: What have you been doing this evening?
Kirsten: Talking to you!
Me: Haha smartass
Kirsten: Lol!
Me: No seriously, what where you doing before we started texting?
Kirsten: Well, I had my dinner, called a friend, watched some TV and I was planning on taking a bath. And you?
Me: I’ve visited my friend AJ and I had dinner with him and some other friends. Then I went home and I’ve texted you and now we are chatting.
Kirsten: Did you tell your AJ about my AJ?
Me: Yeah I did. He felt honored that you named your dog after him.
Kirsten: Well, he doesn’t know if I really named it after him.
Me: I also told him that you had Mr. A playing in your car. So that’s why he figured that you named the dog after him. Or is he wrong.
Kirsten: Yes, I’m busted. It’s true.
Me: Doesn’t matter honey. At least you have great taste of music. Lol!
Kirsten: Haha (blushing smiley)
Me: (smiley lips)
Kirsten: (blushing smiley)
Me: (smiley rose)
Kirsten: I have to go now. It’s time for me to take a shower, or bath and after that it’s time to go to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow.
Me: Why?
Kirsten: I have to work all day.
Me: What kind of work?
Kirsten: I’m a Secretary
Me: hmmm you could become my private secretary?
Kirsten: Mister Carter, are you flirting with me?
Me: Maybe, would you mind?
Kirsten: I don’t believe you.
Me: Why not?
Kirsten: Honestly, you meet so many gorgeous women. Why would a man like you would be interested in an average girl like me?
Me: Because, you are natural and real.
Kirsten: Stop teasing me.
Me: Oh no, I’m not teasing you!
Kirsten: We’ll see. I’m sorry but I have to go now. I have to sleep.
Me: Do you really have to?
Kirsten: Yes, I’m sorry.
Me: OK. Sweet dreams (smiley lips)
Me: Sweet dreams (smiley lips)
Kirsten: Sweet dreams (blushing smiley)(smiley lips)
Kirsten went offline.
I took a deep breath after she went offline. I was a little bit disappointed that she had to leave so quick. But I understood of course. She had to get up early, the next morning. But I liked her. And I wanted to spent more time with her. I wanted to get to know her. I felt that I was falling for her. Butterflies were running through my stomach. I thought about that afternoon. She had beautiful dark blond hair. Bright blue eyes and a beautiful face. She had a sweet expression on her face. Nice full lips and beautiful skin. She wore little make – up. Only mascara. I’ve always been attracted to girls who didn’t wore too much make-up.
I had to surpress the temptation to call her. She was probably getting ready for bed at this moment. And I didn’t want her to think of me as some weird stalker or something like that, but I would’ve loved to hear her sweet voice and to talk to her about all sorts of things. “Stop it Carter, you’re acting like a fool” I mumbled. My thoughts wondered of again to Kirsten. I knew now would not be the best time to fall in love. Within three week the other guys and I would take off for our North American leg of the tour. And they expected me to be focused on the show now. Being a Backstreetboy meant having lots of responsibility. We all had to make sure that every show was one hundred percent perfect. Wich meant basically that we all had to practice our butts of. We had to make sure we took real good care of our health and that we’d gave our fans what they deserved. And they deserved only the best. I knew that if I gave in and completely fell in love in with Kirsten I couldn’t be one hundred percent focused. But on the other side, I didn’t had much choice. I couldn’t change the way I felt. I couldn’t ignore it. I felt like a teenager all over again. I sighed. I looked at the clock and decided it was time to go to bed.
