Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 05:13:23 GMT From: Ethan Walker Subject: Summer Love Chapter 4 by Ethan Chapter 4 of Summer Love By Ethan This is my first attempt at writing, so be kind. Please over look any grammer or punctuation errs. Remember...This is FICTION. It in no way implies or represents anything of the people mentioned in this story. If this material offends you...Don't read it... Ethan I am so glad to see you again its been so long. Hey guys this is Ethan from my home town. Ethan meet the guys . So I was subjected to two more uncanny bearhugs from Brian and Howie and two hand breaking handshakes from A.J. and Kevin.. I was escorted to one of the couches that filled what must have been a sitting room for the guys to cool off in after the show. As we walked Nick was bombarding me with questions about home and everything and we spent the next hour just talking about all the shit that we went through in school and how things have changed or not which is mostly the case. All this time Nicky was sitting so close I could smell his Tommy cologne and the underlying smell of his manliness from working so hard in the show. While we were catching up the guys had all gone and showered and changed. Brian finally pried our heads apart and said Nick we have to get going are you going to stay here and talk all night but he was smiling so we knew he thought it was cool. Aww Bri Ethan and I have so much to talk about can he come to the hotel with us and eat with us? Bri Says sure the more the merrier unless he needs to get going or something. I couldn't believe this was happening I was actually hanging out with the Backstreet Boys and My dream guy was so close I could feel his bodyheat. I drove up myself so I don't have to hurry home I replied with a smile. Kewl Ethan we can talk after we eat and play playstation. Kewl Nick I love playstation . In the meantime Brian told one of the guards drive my car to the hotel. I gave them my keys and told them where to find my car. Before long we were being escorted out a back door to avoid the crowds of screaming fans to the waiting limos. The ride was short as they were staying in the best hotel in town and it was only a few blocks from the arena. We were again escorted by the guards in a backdoor and wisked up to the floor that the guys were staying on. Brian was asking everyone what they wanted to eat. Everyone wanted pizza and chicken wings. I love pizza so I said pizza is cool. Brian ordered the food and Nick and I settled in his room and started playing Gameday 2000. We still were talking a mile a minute catching up on everything Nick had the most exciting story of course. I was still leading the dull life of a small town college boy where he was a superstar and had so much excitement in his life. What amazed me was how unspoiled by it all Nick was. He still seemed very much like he was when I knew him before he found fame. We were so deep in conversation that we didn't hear Brian call us to eat we really weren't playing very seriously either. Brian finally came in and grabbed us by our collars. We were so deeply engrossed in our own little world we both jumped 5 feet. Jeese Brian what are you trying to do scare me to death. Well Nick if you would come when I called I wouldn't have to. I called you guys three times. Man I was so busy I forgot I was starved . Me too Nick lets get something to eat before we don't get any. We went to Brian's room where everything was set up and grabbed some pizza and each grabbed our favorite sodas. Nick was so suprised when he noticed I was a fellow Dewhead. I just can't get started in the morning without my Dew and as it turns out neither can he. We ate till we were stuffed and Nick wanted to go right back to the game but the guys all made a fuss about how rude he was being keeping me all to himself. I just was like amazed they all wanted to get to know me. Ethan is the first decent person we have met since we started out tour. Brian said while the other guys were nodding their heads. He seems to be normal not like all the other groupies and we all would like him to hang with us for a while then you can have him all to yourself Nick. Nick agreed but I could see that he wasn't all to pleased but he just sat down next to me and put on the sexiest pouty face I have ever seen. So I spent the next hour or so telling the guys about myself and where I lived and they all let me in on their lives off the stage. I thought it was very cool but poor Nick was fidgeting around more and more. Finally Nick grabbed my hand and told the guys that we had a game to finish and they could talk to me later. After all He's my friend !! And with that Nick pulled me back to his room. Hey Ethan would you rather just relax and watch a movie instead I am kinda beat . Sure Nick anything you say. We started flipping through the stations and agreed on a rerun of The Stand turns out we are both huge Stephen King fans. We both flopped down on the bed and got into the movie. After all of the days excitement I was starting to get sleepy. Finally I got up and told Nick that I was beat and I had a long drive home. Nick put on that pouty face again and asked me to stay. I tried to tell him that I had to get up really early to go to class but he just kept after me till I finally agreed . Luckily it was a weekday so my mom wasn't expecting me home. I flopped back down on the bed and tried to keep my eyes open but all the days excitement was too much. I woke up very early the next day to find a pressure on my chest. I looked down and there he was sleeping with his head on my chest with his arms wrapped around me. I thought this can't be happening I must be dreaming. but I gave myself a little pinch to be sure I was awake and boy was I. He can't be can he I cant believe it !! My head was spinning with so many thoughts but I told myself it must just be a mistake he is sound asleep and he doesn't realize what he's doing. I didn't want to wake him so I just laid still and savored the closeness even though I knew it couldn't last. This is the end of Chapter 4 more to follow hopefully I would like to thank everyone who sent email so far you guys are Kewl and are making this project even more enjoyable. Please keep writing and tell me what you think :) I promise there will be a love scene but I want this to be a real love story :)
