BSB ON VACATION BY SLICKONE19@ AOL.COM
Alyx turned slowly stretching his back and arms, and glared at the clock. 3:00 am.he had never been an insomniac but, it seemed that he was starting to become one. " Oh well," he said out loud, " If I'm up, then damn it, Katy has to be to." A long time ago, Alyx and Kathryn Melissa Laiet, or Katy for short, Alyx's best friend, made a pack with one another.if one of them ever had something on their minds, or they just couldn't sleep, they were supposed to call the other.
"Hello" said a very sleepy voice.
"Hey Katydid.what's up woman?" Alyx cheerfully replied.
"Alyxander LaMonte Hargrove" she said, "It's 3:00 in the morning, you better be in jail, dying, or have won the lottery to call me this fuckin' early!"
"UUMMM." the boy replied, "None of the above.Listen, I can't sleep.and"
"Wait.stop.let me guess" she interrupted ".you figured that if you were up then I would have to be to, right"
"Yeah.basically" Alyx answered.grinning at the thought. "OK, lovey.I am sorry to have woke you up, I didn't want to keep you awake, I just wanted to torture you for a few minutes" Alyx laughed as he added "You know that's my goal in life."
"Well," Katy said, "I'm so happy I could be here for you.ya little shit." That sent both friends into hysterics.
"Go to sleep Katydid, dream of Brian Littrell.I nub you."
"I nub you babe, sweet dreams of Nick Carter."
"Run for it, Bri," yelled Nick as they ran through the doors of their swanky New York hotel. The swarms of girls had come out of know where, bombarding the two guys as they got out of the limo.
" No kidding, Nick" panted Brian Littrell as he and Nick Carter bolted for the elevator.
When they were safely inside and riding up to their rooms, they collapsed.
" Man, we need to get away!" said Nick "I know," remarked Brian "I mean, management gave us three weeks off and you and I are gonna spend it dodging fans.we'll need a vacation to recover from our vacation." The thought amused them both.
"Yeah, we need to go somewhere that no one will ever find us, he he he, and then maybe we could find a couple of people for ourselves" said Nick.
"Oh man, that would be great, I miss having a girlfriend" replied Brian. Ever since the guys had become famous, it got more and more difficult for them to find anyone who wanted to be around them, for a reason other then that they were the Backstreet Boys.
"Well, I can almost relate" smiled Nick, it had taken him almost 3 years, but Nick had finally gotten up the courage to tell Brian that he was gay. Brian, of course, had known from the beginning, but had never said anything. He figured that when Nick was ready to tell him, he would.
Brian's reaction wasn't quiet what Nick thought it would be, "Dude, I thought you would NEVER tell me, what the hell took you so damned long?" were Brian's exact words.
"You knew?" replied Nick softly.
"Of course, I have always known, I mean I am your best friend and I do see the way you look at guys," said Brian as he went and sat by his best friend.
Nick looked up, "Was I that obvious?" he said.
"No, I only knew, because I know you" as he smiled at Nick.
"Thanks Bri, I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I wasn't sure how'd you react. I guess I should have known that you wouldn't have cared either way."
"Well, I'm glad you finally told me, at least now I can start looking around to try and hook you up with someone.that I approve of that is!" added Brian, making sure that Nick knew he was always going to be there.
The sound of the elevator coming to a stop and the doors opening brought Nick back to reality. " Hey air-head" called Brian "lets go and relax."
"Ok," said Nick, "listen, I'm gonna go and get some sleep, call me in the morning and wake me up, ok?"
"You got it, bro. Sleep well."
"Thanks Bri" and Nick slowly shut the door to his room.
" Lets go Katy, your gonna be late" Alyx yelled, standing, arms folded across his broad chest, in front of the front door of her apartment.
"Ok, mom!" Katy hollered back sarcastically.
"Girl, there's no way I could ever be your mom.I'm not a total BITCH."
Katy and her mother haven't spoken in almost 6 months, ever since Katy had finally told her to stop treating her like a two-year-old, and start treating her like the 22 year old she was. Her mother went nuts, she started ranting and raving about how ungrateful Katy was, and how Katy had never really loved her, you know typical `mom-style' guilt trip! And then to the shock of everyone, Katy's mom ordered her out of the house and then proceeded to shut the door in her face.
"Well shit, that could have gone better, I guess I won't be getting my diamond earrings this Christmas like she said huh?" Alyx just laughed, gave her the biggest hug he could and took her to lunch to celebrate her newfound freedom.
"Move your ass, Alyx, remember.I'm gonna be late" said Katy, as she ran out the door.
"Coming" and he closed the door.
"Ya know something?" Alex said softly as they drove though Stockton.
"What?" Katy replied.
"I really miss being in a relationship."
"Oh no, here we go again, Alyx, honey, dear, if it's the last thing I ever do, I am gonna fix you up with the guy of your dreams." she said.
His answer was like clockwork, "And how do you plan to find Nick Carter, in the JCPenney catalog?" They both laughed imagining filling out the order form for their favorite Backstreet Boy.
"I'm gonna do whatever I can to make you as happy as you were when you were with `what's-his-nuts'" she replied "I take it that you're referring to Chris?"
"Lexy, no one, not even you can figure why a relationship of four months, that was going perfectly mind you, would suddenly be shot down by your stupid ex boyfriend, for absolutely no reason at all. I still think he was an idiot! Maybe he just couldn't handle it when push came to shove." Once Katy got started bitching, there was NO stopping her.especially when it came to her best friends' love life, or lack there-of. "I never thought Chris would leave two days after your parents died." Katy went on, "Besides, it's been almost five months, I am sick and tired of listening to you complain about being single, so I am taking it upon myself to find you the cutest little gay boy of your dreams."
Katy started to take a breath, Alyx grabbed the opportunity of silence, and said "And what makes you think that's your job?" He got the look and reaction that he was expecting.
A look of total horror came across his best friends' face, and then that changed to a huge grin. Then at the top of her lungs she sang out "Because THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR'" All Alyx could do was roll his eyes and shake his head, cause he knew what was coming next. Katy grabbed Alyx's hand, and using it as a microphone, sang the rest of the song.
Alyx pulled up to the main lobby of the Raddison Hotel, where Katy worked as a desk clerk. "Ok, Miss Dione Warwick," Alex yelled, trying to calm her down, "here you are safely at work, now get out of my car and shut the hell up!"
"You have no appreciation for great singers, like me!" she said.
Alyx just smiled and replied "Yeah right, listen what time do you get off work, and when is your car gonna be ready at the shop?" Katy normally leaves her car at the body shop and just takes it out for accidents.
"It should be ready on Monday, and I get off work at 10:00 p.m."
"Damn woman, your working a 12 hour day? Why for?"
Katy just laughed and said "I have to pay the body shop" and with that, she ran though the revolving doors and disappeared into the glittering lobby. Making sure that Katy was inside, Alyx sped off just as "As Long as You Love Me" came on to the radio.
Ring.Ring.Ring
The phone rang by Nick's head. "Hmm `ello" said Nick into the phone.
"Hey Bro, WAKE UP.I've been up all night thinkin'" Brain said excitedly.
"Well I hope you didn't hurt yourself " retorted the still half-asleep Nick.
"Will you shut up and listen, remember how you said that we needed to go where nobody would ever find us"
"Yeah"
"Well I got the greatest idea last night. When I was really little, my mom's best friend lived out in California, in some place called Stockton. It's about 30 minutes from Sacramento and only an hour and a half from San Francisco! I already called and made reservations at the Raddison, and I chartered a plane to take us there in about 3 hours." you could tell Brain was grinning from ear to ear, just by the sound of his voice.
"Are you sure that no one will recognized us there?" inquired Nick.
"Well if we wear sunglasses and don't advertise that we're there we should be fine!"
Brian was on the edge of his seat. He really wanted to go and was very proud of his idea.
"Ok bud, sounds good I'll be ready in an hour."
Brian was so happy he could barely contain his excitement, "Serious? I didn't think you'd go for it."
"Listen, call the limo and have it leave the back door of the hotel, then you and I will just go out the side and grab a cab to the airport. Sound good?" said Nick.
"Damn dude, when'd you become so sneaky?" Nick laughed at Brian's remark "Hey I learned from the best!" At that, the boys hung up and got busy packing. Things after that went like clockwork, at 8:30am exactly the limo sped off with the swarms of fans following. That gave the guys the opportunity to run out the side door and jump into the waiting taxi. Nick grinned to himself, when he had called Kevin to tell him about the trip that he and Brian were going on, he had also told him about the plan to get out of the hotel. Kevin thought that they were both insane, Nick couldn't wait to call Kev up and gloat that everything had worked out. When they arrived at the airport, everything went off without a hitch. They walked quickly to the small plane and were soon taxiing out to the runway.
When they landed in Stockton's airport, Brian jumped into the drivers' seat of a brand new black BMW Z3. Nick took one look at the car and said, "I thought we were trying to keep a low profile?"
"We are, responded Brian, "that's why I got this to get us around in, instead of a limo."
"You know, I like the way you think.stylish" And at that, Brian slammed on the gas, and like a bat out of hell, tore though Stockton, to the Raddison.
Katy was on the duty at the front desk when two young men, wearing sunglasses and baseball caps walked though the doors. " Hi, welcome to the Raddison," Katy said cheerfully, "My name's Katy, how can I help you?"
"Yeah hi, umm I have a reservation for two rooms under the name of Brian Carter" said Brian softly.
" Ok.excuse me one sec. while I check the computer" replied Katy. As Katy turned to see the computer screen, Brian took a good look. Katy has always been one of those people that never really realize how beautiful they are, and that just makes them all the more attractive.
Brian didn't know he was staring, well he didn't until Katy snapped her fingers in front of his eyes and brought him back to reality. ".Mr. Carter" said Katy.
At the sound of his last name Nick replied "Huh?"
Brian elbowed him in the side. "Yes?" said Brian, trying to cover Nick's mistake.
"Well, sir, replied Katy, I found a reservation for a Mr. Brian Carter and a Mr. Nick Littrel. Hahaha ya know, if you just reverse your names you'd be the Backstreet Boys"
At the mention of whom they really were, Nick and Brian both got bright red and stared at the counter. "Yeah, that is funny, umm could we have our keys please? I mean Nick and I are kinda tired and we'd like to unpack," said Brian, Nick just stayed completely quiet, he didn't want to give away who they were.
"Oh of course sir, I'm sorry. Here are your key card's, both you and Mr. Littrel are on the 23rd floor in the adjoining penthouses." Katy said quickly.
Brian smiled warmly, flashing his white teeth. "Thanks Katy, see you later" Then guys walked to the elevator.
Katy whistled under her breath, Not bad' she thought to herself, watching Brian as he walked away I wish I could figure out why they look so damned familiar'.
"Hey Lexie" called Katy as her friend walked through the doors of the hotel.
"Hi" Alyx replied. "You ready to go?"
"Yeah, just about.just hang on a sec and let me finish up this paper work."
"Ok, take your time" Alyx said. He leaned on the counter just as the elevator doors behind him dinged open. When the doors finished opening, Nick stepped out and looked at the front desk `Damn' he said to himself, as he stood, looking at the 21 year old tanned frame leaning on the counter.
"Excuse me, umm Katy, right?" Nick said "Yes, sir," replied Katy, as she glanced at Alyx, knowing exactly what was going through his mind. Alyx couldn't help but look at him, he was the cutest guy Alyx had ever seen, and the guy had soft blond hair and the most clear blue eyes. Alyx knew he had seen him somewhere before, but he just couldn't place his face.
"Is there anywhere near by, where we can get something to eat. Neither one of us have eaten since early this afternoon, and we're both STARVING", they all laughed at Nick's statement.
Alyx cut Katy off and said, "Well, the only place open right now, that's near by is The Pier. Katy and I were just about to head over there to get a snack, you and your friend are more than welcome to join us!" Alyx could barely contain his big smile, and neither Katy nor Alyx could look at the other one.
"Sure, that sounds great.Bri and I will meet you guys there in about 10 minutes or so, ok?" Katy's mouth dropped open, and Alyx was about to have a heart attack. He was going to spend the next hour with the finest guy he had ever seen.of course Alyx didn't think he had a shot in the dark, `I'd never be lucky enough for him to be single, let alone gay" Alyx thought.
What Alyx didn't know, was that Nick was thinking the exact same thing as he tried not to run into the elevator.
"Brian, oh my god, dude. You and I are gonna go and have dinner with Katy and her fine ass friend." Nick practically screamed as he charged into Brian's suite.
"Who's her friend?" asked Brian.
"Oh.good question. I forgot to ask his name. Anyway, it doesn't matter, we'll find out when we get to the restaurant." replied Nick.
"Bro, I've never seen you so excited" observed Brian.
To which Nick said "Man, you didn't see the guy I did.besides I saw the way you were checking out Katy, and unless I am totally trippin' she was lookin' you over to!"
Brian's face shot up, and eyed Nick "Nick, don't even joke around like that, Katy's gorgeous, she'd never even give me a second thought."
"Ok, don't believe me. But just watch her at dinner, and then you tell me if I'm crazy or not" Nick said with a sly grin. With that, Brian jumped up and attempted to get ready. Nick just stood there and laughed until his sides hurt. "I thought you didn't believe me?" giggled Nick.
Brian stopped, in the middle of changing his shirt and said, "Well, better safe then sorry."
Katy punched the time clock, and strolled out of the building, and jumped into Alyx's new Cougar. As they pulled away from the hotel, Alyx and Katy could barely contain their excitement.
"Alyx, I swear, his friend is so fine! He has the cutest ass I have ever seen." Katy babbled.
Alyx thought out loud " Well, if you ask me, that guy isn't so bad either.I wish I could figure out why they look so familiar.hey I didn't even introduce myself. I wonder what his name is?"
"Nick Littrell, and his friends name is Brian Carter" responded Katy.
"Hey, if they reversed." Alyx started to say.
"I know, I was thinkin' the same thing" Katy interrupted.
"I don't know, and I don't care, but Nick is really cute and he seems nice to." Alyx said as he pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant. The two friends walked in, and got the best table over looking the harbor. Alyx had always loved it here, whenever he sat at this table, he ended up staring at the water. In fact, Alyx was doing just that and he didn't hear Katy telling him that Nick and Brian had just walked in the door. The only thing that brought Alyx back, was the sight of Nick's angelic face coming into focus in front of him. "Oh, Hi guys" stammered Alyx.
"Hi" was all that Nick could get out.
"Ok, well we all haven't been introduced, I'm Brian Carter, and this eloquent one over here, is Nick Littrell." Brian said, trying to break the ice. "It's nice to meet you both, out of the hotel.
They all laughed. "I'm Kathryn Laiet, and this air-head is my best friend in the whole wide world (Alyx blushed, Nick spotted it instantly, and giggled) Alyxander Hargrove"
"Well now that the intro's are over, can we eat.PLEASE?" begged Nick.
Brian started laughing, "Dude, you sound like me."
After a while, it was as though the four of them had known each other forever, even though it was only about an hour. As Katy and Nick finished eating their hot fudge sundaes, Brian and Alyx started talking about life in general. "I guess my main issue in life is that people as so fake, I don't understand why people can't just be straight forward about who they are. I mean, and I don't mean to brag, but my family has always had money, and I only got that because both my Mom and Dad died in that car accident. People only see you for what you have, and not who you are," complained Alyx sadly.
"Lex, I know exactly how you feel, people never what to get to know me, just what I have to offer them, it sucks," "And for the record, I'm sorry about your parents." replied Brian.
"Thanks" "Listen, if we're gonna be friends, then there's something that you should know." said Alyx.
Brian responded with "Ok shoot."
"To be blunt, I'm gay," Alyx said softly "I don't go around advertising it, and its no ones business, but I figured that if we, this is you and Nick of course, are gonna to be friends then I need to honest about who I am. I hope that you're comfortable with that."
But Brian had stopped listening right after Alyx had said `gay'. His mind was already in overdrive. He knew Nick was totally falling for Alyx, that was obvious by the way Nick hung on every word Alyx said, but he needed to find out how Alyx felt about Nick. "Katy.could I borrow you for a sec?" he interrupted his own train of thought.
"Umm sure, I guess so. What's up?" she answered "Come on.I need some air and your gonna be perfect company!" Brian stood up, walked around to the other side of the table and pulled Katy's chair out for her.
"Thank you kind sir," remarked Katy. Her boyfriends had never treated like this, even after going out with her for months. Alyx just smiled at them, and watched Brian open the door for her, as they stepped out onto the patio.
"I think they like each other.a lot. I've never seen a guy treat Katy as sweet as that.never!" Alyx said to Nick.
"I think they look cute together," replied Nick, suddenly his face lit up, "Hey, I have the greatest idea.but, first.is Katy single?"
Alyx looked up from staring at his glass, and smiled, knowing what Nick was thinking, "Yeah, as single as they come."
"Well, Brian hasn't had a girlfriend for a long time, almost two years," Nick stated, "I think he's been wanting to find one again, and if Katy is anything like I have seen over the last hour or two, then they would be a perfect match for each other!"
Nick got up and moved to the chair next to Alyx, their faces were no more then six inches apart. All that Alyx wanted to do was grab Nick's handsome face and kiss him. In fact, he was still staring at Nick's lips when he felt his shoulder being shaken. "Alyx.Lex, you ok?!?!" Nick said in a panicked voice.
"Huh.what.oh yeah, I'm fine," replied Alyxander, "Sorry."
"Oh that's ok, you just had this really freaky look on your face and I was worried about you" said Nick softly.
All Alyx could do was look at him. "That's really sweet, especially since you hardly know me."
"Well, I'd like to get to know you better," stammered Nick, " well, what I mean is it's not often that B-Rok and I meet really down to earth people." As if on cue, it seemed that the world around the boys came to a halt. Nick looked directly into Alyx's eyes, and Lexie held the gaze.
The wind was starting to pick up on the harbor, and Katy had left her coat inside the restaurant. She gracefully put her arms around herself and stood there looking out on to the water. Brian instantly noticed, removed his sweater, and wrapped it around Katy. She smiled gratefully as she kept her blonde hair from getting tangled. "Ok.You wanted me to come outside. Why? What's up?" asked Katy.
"I'll tell you if you promise me that you won't say anything to anyone about this" Brian watched her face, he knew that if this got out before the right time it could ruin the Backstreet Boys. Katy held his stare. She had never seen anyone look so serious about something. "Brian I promise that with all my heart I won't say a word to anyone!" replied Katy slowly. "Whatever you tell me, be it good, bad or indifferent well stay with me. I don't ever repeat anything that my friends tell me.especially the ones that I care about." The handsome young man just stared at her. `She CARES about me, but she hardly even knows me,' Brian thought. "Well," Brain started carefully "I really think that Nick has got a very big crush on Alyx."
All Katy could do was giggle "Like I couldn't figure that out all by myself silly."
"The thing is that Nick has never, and I do mean NEVER told anyone that he's gay, except me of course," said Brian. "Oh, well is that why you asked me to come out here?" asked the girl. Brian said in response "No, I wanted to find out if Alyx had a boyfriend?"
"Nope, said Katy "he's as single as they come" unknowingly using the same phrase that her best friend had earlier.
A devilish grin crept slowly across Brian's face, "Well, I was just thinking about how sad it is that both Nick and Alyx are so very single"
"You know, I have to agree with you on that point, and just between us matchmakers, they do look kinda cute together." Katy answered thoughtfully.
"What did you just say?" Alyx spoke quietly.
"I said that Brain and a I don't often meet really down to earth people" replied Nick.
Lexy eyed Nick suspiciously, "No that's not what you said, you said `B-Rok and I', and I only know of one person called B-Rok."
Nick handsome mouth dropped as he realized his fatal mistake. "Umm.well, I.umm" stammered Nick.
Alyx got up quickly from the table, grabbed his jacket and hurried out the front doors just as Katy and Brain came back inside.
"What happened to Alyx?" asked Katy and Brain in unison. The two looked at each and giggled.
"Get outta my head" laughed Katy.
"Well Nick.where is he?" asked Brain again.
Nick's eyes were shining with tears; he slowly looked up at Brain and answered " I called you B-Rok."
"Oh my God" was the only phrase that Brain could utter.
When Katy finally caught up with Alyx, he was fumbling with his keys, desperately trying to get the door of his car open.
"Lex, what's wrong?" yelled Katy across the parking lot.
Alyx tried to regain his composure. "Nothing, I just need to go"
"Bullshit...freeze you swizzle stick," said the girl. Katy's face a mixture of concern, fear, and plain old pissed off. "What the hell was that all about? Why are you leaving so fast?"
With tears running silently down his handsome face, Alyxander look up at his best friend.
"Nick called Brain "B-Rok".
"So what I call you a lot of things what does Nick calling Brian B-..." Katy's voice trailed off as it suddenly became clear what exactly was said.
