Chapter 40: Spanish Eyes
~*~A Month Later~*~
It was 3 days from my birthday. With the guys planning the release of Millennium and my birthday..things were really busy.
"Brian, I'm gonna miss you when you have to go to New York!" I said to him.
"You will?" Brian said playing with my hair.
"Of course! You are my life!" I said. I was at Brian's house, for the time being. School had let out, and my mom went on a month long vacation. Some time she really needed.
"Well, that's why I'm inviting you to come with me!" He said getting up from the floor in the living room.
"What? You want me to come with you?" I asked sitting up.
"Of course, you still want to?" He said.
"Yes!!!! I want to be with you! Thanks Brian, this is the best birthday present ever." I said jumping on him, and wrapping my legs around his back..
"Well, I've got some other stuff in store for you birthday! Leave that up to me and the guys!" Brian said giving me a kiss.
"How did I get a guy like you?" I asked him looking into those baby blues.
"You got lucky?" he said putting me on the kitchen countertop.
"Really lucky," I said in an agreement. I pulled him close, and we kissed for what seemed like the millionth time that day. We were really going at it, when the doorbell rang.
"Great," Brian said pulling away from me.
"You better get it!" I said.
"Hello?"he said.

"Well, Justin we got a months worth of dates until we hit LA getting excited to see Ashley?" JC asked.
"Yeah, I can finally tell her I've come to my senses, and I want her back!" he said enthusiastically.
"Well, there's a chance that she may not want you back," Lance said getting something to eat from the refrigerator they had on their tour bus.
"Yeah, I know!" Justin said. "But I'll risk it!"
"Justin, do you have any shades I could borrow?" a voice called in the background.
"Hold on.. I'll check!" he said getting up.
"Here ya Go Brit." he said.
"Thanks! Justin!" she said slipping them on.
Chris whispered again. "Why is she here again?" to JC.
"I thinkshe's here to fill in for Tatiyana whose sick..but it looks like she tagged along for the ride to be with Justin!" he said looking at her make goo-goo eyes at Justin.
"He must know by now, that Britney likes him!" Lance whispered back.
"Knowing Justin, he's the LAST to know anything!" Joey contributed.

"Oh Hey Kev," Brian said opening to door.
"Hi, Kevin!" I said smiling.
"I should have known you were here, Ashley!" he said smiling.
"How's everything going?" he said taking a seat.
"Good! I get to go to New York! With Brian!" I said happily.
"He's been planning it for weeks!!!" he said.
"Planning what?" I asked.
"Watch it Kevin you may say to much!" Brian warned him.
"All right not another word." he said.
"But, I need to ask you a question about 'it' so Ashley you need to leave the room!" Kevin said.
"Is everything still on?" Kevin asked. "Yeah, go according to plan, and if I know my girlfriend...she's listening right behind the--" Brian opened the door to the kitchen and there enough I was.
"Door" he finished.
Kevin laughed. "Okay, I'll see you guys later. I'm gonna go pick up Kat.. and get something to eat!" he said and walked to the door.
"I'll see you later, Brian! Bye Ashley!" Kevin said before leaving.
"Bye!" I said.
"What is it you have planned?" I asked him.
"You'll find out soon enough" Brian said.
"Now, let's finish that kiss.." Brian said walking towards me and picking me up and lying me down on the couch.
"Brian!" I said squealing. "You're so bad!" I said to him smiling.
"Oh am I?" Brian said looking up at me.
"Yes you are!!!" I said pulling off his hat.
"Well, I'm only bad when I'm with you!" he said.
"Well, how can bad can you be?" I asked him kissing him chin.
"Tell me how bad, and I'll top it!" he said smiling.
"I love you!" I said kissing him. I didn't realize I had said it until it had came out. He was taken back.
"You mean it, cause I have waited to hear you say those 3 words to me.." Brian said.
"Why?" I asked him.
"Cause, I have loved you since the day I laid eyes on you." he said.
"Well, I do love you Brian Littrell!" I said and I kissed him again...
I left Brian's house, feeling on top of the world. I love Brian and he loved me. That was a feeling I didn't experience. He could be the one. I got in my car, and went to pick out an outfit to surprise Brian in. On the way I called Erica...
"Erica??" I called into the phone.
"Ashley! Hey girl!! How's everything with Brian?" she asked.

"Justin, could you help me with something?" Britney yelled from the back of the bus.
"Sure, I'll be right back guys," Justin said getting up from a game of Nintendo that he was playing with the four remaining Nsync members.
"Yeah?" Justin asked.
"I need help with this dress, you know, it just doesn't fit right!" Britney said.
"OK, how do you want me to help?" Justin asked.
"Well..for starters you could unzip it." she said.
"Uh, Britney.. you're a great friend and everything, but that's how it's going to be! I like someone else.. you need to move on!" Justin said gently.
"Okay, I'm sorry! I'm so embarrassed..." she said crying.
"Well, it's OK.. pretend it never happened." Justin said walking out of the room.
"What happened?" JC asked taking the game off pause.
"Britney likes me!" Justin said sighing.
"Well, Hmm, it's about time you figured that out!" Chris said.
"Now, come on it's time to finish the game!" Chris said excitedly.
"The game can wait..what am I going to do?" Justin asked looking at his hands.
"You always do something, do prevent me from winning..but one day Justin-boy..I am going to win!" Chris said. Justin and the guys broke up into fits of laughter.
"What? I am!" Chris objected.
"Yeah right, man you suck!" Joey said.
"But Justin, if you told her you don't like her, then give her time, her ego is a bit bruised, just wait!" Lance said.
"Come on, I want to play!" Chris said whining.
