Chapter 27

"AJ?" I whispered waking him up from our nap, "We got the concert soon"

"Yea?" He mummbled turning over and closing his eyes again

I giggled softly standing up and wrapping my body up in the comforter. I took a quick shower before changing into my rehersal clothes, which was a pair of boot cut strech pants and a Body fitting tank top that hugged my every curve. I put on my tennis shoes and came back out to AJ who had just opened his eyes.

"Well sleepy ass, it's nice to see you woke up"

He grinned standing up after he slipped on his boxers.

"I'm gonna go down to the cafe ok? You want something?" I asked wrapping my arms around his waist.

"Naw, I'll meet you down there ok?"

"K" I said grabbing my purse and walking down there. I saw Nicole siting there sipping a cup of coffee, "Hey" I said sitting down

"Hi" She smiled, "So did you guys get back together? We heard you"

"You did?" I exclaimed

"Yah I think everybody did" She laughed lightly, "I'm so happy you guys got back together"

"Yah, me too" I nodded as the waitress walked over

"Hi can I get you something?"

"Ummm yah, Can I get a bagel with cream cheese and an orange juice"

"Coming right up" She said walking away.

"I'm really happy that we can still be friends"

"Well If I can forgive him, I can forgive you" I said

"I'm gonna tell Fatima today. I'm gonna have to go home" She said sadly, "Shit, I don't even know who's baby this is."

"Well, you could probably do something else on the tour" I said, "Like make-up or hair"

"They already have people for that"

"I know, but you could help. You know how hard it must be for her to do everybody"

"I guess I could ask" she said as the waitress brought me my stuff.

"Thanks" I smiled

"There she is" Nicole said as Fatima and Nefertiti walked out.

"Hey" I said as they came out

"Hi" Nefertiti smiled sitting down, "Dude, have you ever shared a room with Nick? It's horrible"

"Why?" I laughed

"He talks in his sleep" She laughed, "He was actually talking about you "

"What? What did he say?"

"He was like, 'Oh yah girl, that's it....damn Erin You're the bomb',"

I got a disgusted look on my face, "Really?"

"I swear"

"Ewwww, He's so nasty" I said scrunching up my nose

Fatima and Nicole went off the another table as Nef and I chilled.

"When are we going?" I asked as we got up and left a tip

"I thought it was now. The vans are all out there waiting for us. But I guess after the guys drag down here we can bounce." She said sitting the the lobby. After about ten minutes the guys came down and Fatima and Nicole came out of the Cafe.

"Alright" Fatima said hanging up her cell phone, "Ya'll know I don't care about the seating arrangements, so get in a van so we can go. There's ten seats in each van" She said walking out with Ronnie, the co-coreographer. AJ came up to me and slipped an arm around my waist as we walked out.

"Did you grab my bag?" I asked

"Yup, Nick has it" He said

"Oh" I nodded as we walked out and got to the Van. There were two seats left and one was next to Nick, and the other was next Brian. AJ sat next to Brian leaving me to sit with Nick. As I put on my seat belt my arm brushed with his making his shiver. I looked down at the growing buldge in his pants. I just started at it in disgust as I felt AJ play with my hair from behind me.

I turned and closed my eyes as I felt Nick undress me with his eyes.

I took out my two way pager and turned to AJ, "Take yours out"

He took it out as I paged him

'Nick's staring at me' I typed turning so no one could see.

'and???'

'he's happy!'

'wtf!'

'I know!' I paged before AJ turned it off.

He leant over the seat and looked at Nick's pants before popping him in the back of the head.

"Hey!" Nick said, "What'd you do that for?"

"Look down" AJ growled sitting back in his seat.

Nick just slumped in his seat trying to cover himself up.

I bit my lip as everyone looked at AJ like he was out his mind.

"I'm so happy guys" Ashley said laying her head back, "Only one more week of this, then we go home"

"I know, this has been a long tour" I said

We all sat there until we pulled up to the arena. I climbed out followed by everybody else. There were a couple of fans standing there.

"Hi!" They exclaimed seeing the boys.

"Hi" Howie said walking over to them. The other's followed while the dancers walked in. Fans were already let in the arena and we could hear them all talking to each other.

"Denise?" Kristian asked "Can we go out there and do the contest?"

"on stage"

"Yea, Nina said that she we're having a contest where we go on stage before the opening act goes on and each of us get's to pick two fans"

She sighed, "You guys gotta get ready. The opening act comes on in 10 minutes"

"Can we get dressed then go?" I asked

"What about your clothes?"

"Please?" I asked sticking out my bottom lip

"Fine, get dressed" she said. We all hurried up and put on our larger than life outfits, which had changed to the Slit skirts with Nylons and the body suit. We put on the boots and before going out on stage.

"Here girls" the sound manager said handing us each a microphone.

"Thanks" we smiled as the lights went out. We walked on stage as the lights came on us

"How ya'll doin Lexington?!?" Nicole screamed into the mike. People screamed but not loud enough

"I dunno guys" Kristina said shaking her head, "I don't think that they want these backstage passes"

Everyone went wild.

"As you all probably know, We're the backstreet dancers" I said, "Well, we were talkin to the guys and we thought it would be pretty tight to let ten lucky fans come backstage with us and meet them. So as we asked before....How ya'll doin Lexington"

It went so loud that we had to plug our ears.

"I think that's pretty good" Ashely said.

"Now all you people up in the top, don't get jealous, we're gonna hook ya'll up too" Nefertiti said, "The first person that can find AJ's body guard, Q, get's to come down here with one friend"

We watched as everyone in the top searched around.

"I wanna pick first" Ashley said into her mike, "You two look like you wanna meet them pretty bad" she said walking to the edge of the stage and talking to two girls in the front row who were crying, "Who's your favorite"

"Nick!" one screamed

"Brian!!!!!"

"How much did you pay for your tickets?"

"$2000" They screamed

"we gotta let them back" Ashley said looking at us. The girls hopped up and down while being escorted back.

"Ok, my turn" I said walking the the center, "Come on...catch my attention"

There were four teen age girls who had backstreet costumes on in the lower level. I walked to their side of the arena.

"I dunno...there are so many of you" I hopped down into the gate and walked around to the side, "Ok how about a trivia? Best out of 5 wins. Once you miss one, you're out"

I walked up to the five.

"What's your name?" I asked one.

"Amanda"

"Ok Amanda, What was the name of Brian's first car?"

"The Bleeding Banana!" She excalimed

"Whoo..good job! What's your name?"

"I'm Sara"

"Alright Sara, Who is AJ's Favorite Star?"

"You" She smiled

"Awww thats sweet, but there's another answer"

"Gwen Stafani" she said

"Good, Who are you?"

"Jamie"

"Jamie, What is Kevin's cat's name?"

Her eyes got big, "Ummmmm.....I don't know"

"Awwww, sorry girl. What about you?"

"Tom?" She shrugged

"Sorry, it's quincy. Amanda and Sara are our winners. Come on girls!" I said

"Omg!" they screamed hugging each other. They climbed over the fence and followed me backstage.

The other two girls were sitting there waiting for the guys to come out.

"Ok, go ahead and sit down, I'll go see if they're almost done" I said walking into the boy's dressing room. "Hey"

"Hi" Aj smiled from his seat. He patted his lap, "Are you guys almost done choosing?"

"I chose mine, and Ashley chose hers" I said sitting on his lap.

He rubbed my leg, "I love these outfits. They're sexy"

I kissed him softly, "Yah, they are"

AJ kissed my neck while squeezing my butt.

"Get a room" Nick muttered

"Awww, is Nicky jealous?" AJ laughed

Nick rolled his eyes as the hair dressor fixed his hair.

"Anyway," I said, "it was so cute, I did this little trivia and I asked this girl who your favorite star was and she said it was me"

AJ grinned, "Did she get it?"

"I told her to try again and she got Gwen Steffani"

"We're gonna go out in five ok?" Kevin asked me

"Ok" I said, "I'll be out there" I got off of AJ's lap and walked out.

"Erin?" One of the girls asked

"Yes?" I said coming over to them

"Is it ok if we give AJ hugs?"

"Of course it's ok!" I smiled, "I'm not like that"

Denise walked out handing me my cell phone.

"Who is it?" I asked

"A guy" she said looking at me before walking off

"I'll be back" I said to the fans. I walked away, "Hello?"

"Hey" JC said

"Hey" I said trying to find Denise. I saw her writing down something, "Deinse, it's JC"

"Oh" she smiled

"Ok, what's up?" I asked walking around backstage

"Justin told me to call"

"Why?" I laughed

"he wanted to know how it was going with AJ"

"Tell him we're fine" I said sitting in a chair

"So whatcha doing?"

"Getting ready for a concert"

"When is it?"

"in about and hour"

"That's cool, when ya comin home?"

"in a week and a half" I said, "we have about 5 more shows"

"that's tight. We miss you"

"Awweeee, I miss my brothers too" I said like a baby, "don't worry, erin will be home in time to clean up after you guys"

"I'm not dirty"

"Sure" I laughed, "I gotta go ok?"

"Ok, luv ya"

"Love you too, tell justin that I said I love him ok?"

"Ok, byee"

"Bye" I said hanging up. I sat down next to kristian who was talking to a girl that was about my age.

"She likes AJ" Kristian said to me

"Oh yah?" I smiled

"Yea" she said with an attitude, "Just wait till he sees me."

"Ok" I said turning away from her. I looked at kristian.

She shrugged as the boys walked out.

"Hi ladies" Kevin said.

"Hello AJ" The girl said standing up and walking over to him

"Hi" he smiled.

"You know, I'm legal"

"Is that so" AJ said looking at me. I smirked and shrugged

"Yea, but you're with that bitch"

"Hey now" AJ said signing her autograph, "That's not nice"

"Well it's true"

"Here you go" AJ said handing her a CD

"Thanks" She smiled giving him a hug, "Here, call me. I promise to show you a good time" She whispered.

"Thanks" AJ said taking the paper and walking over to the other girls.

The boys chatted with the fans for a while while we finished getting ready.

~*~The bus~*~

"That girl was all over your man" Nicole laughed

"I know. I think she gave him her number" I said sitting down with a bag of doritos, "She was a bitch"

"Yah, she was" She said as my cell rang

"Hello?" I asked

"Hey baby, you wanna go out tonight?" AJ asked

"Where?" I said munching on a chip

"I dunno, bowling?"

"Sure. Just me and you?"

"Do you want other people to come?"

"No, I wanna spend some time with just you"

"Ok, we'll go as soon as we get to the hotel"

"But I wanna get dressed"

"Ok" He said, "Bye"

"Bye" I said hanging up.

~*~The hotel~*~

We pulled up to the hotel at 12:30

"Don't they ever sleep?" I complained seeing the fans outside

"No sweetie, they're always here" Kristian said handing me my bags. We waited till the bus stopped and got off.

"Ohhhh...it's dancers!"

"Hi" we smiled walking in the hotel. We all went up to our rooms. I changed into a pair of jeans and a wife beater.
