Chapter 44: Dream Lover
"Justin, well Orlando Sentential has spread the news. It s
all over the news and Extra and Access Hollywood." Chris
said flipping channels.
"Hey what do you know our friends the Backstreet Boys are on Total Request Live" Chris said.
"No keep the channel here" Justin said.
~*~
"The truth??" Brian said.
"OK, Kev why don't you start?" Carson said.
"Well, I am dating someone..." he started.
"Is it serious?" a random girl asked out.
"Yeah it is," he admitted smiling.
"Howie? What about you?" Carson said.
"Yeah, I'm afraid to say that this Backstreet Boy is taken too. We're pretty serious, but still in the dating stages," he said.
"That leaves the 3 macho men...AJ, Brian, Nick.. how about it?" Carson said.
"I've got a girlfriend.." Brian said.
"I've got a girlfriend.." said AJ.
"Yeah, I've got a girlfriend." Nick said.
"It's treachery I tell you, all 5 of the guys taken..taken right from our little noses ... but good luck to you all!" Carson said.
"Let's talk about Carson..." AJ started.
"Before we take a break we are going to give you a lyric sample.. and you need to finish the lyric.. here it is 'Now get in the pit' try to finish that lyric at 1 888 311 4343. More with the Backstreet boys, news about NSync and the top 10 videos chosen by you". Carson said.
"I hope I didn't pressure, you there man," Carson said to the guys.
"No it's okay.. we don't want to lie to our fans. You want to meet our girlfriends? They are right in the control room."
"How cool that would be dope." Carson said and walked our way.
~*~
"Justin, why do you insist we watch these guys?" Chris complained.
"Because, I just want to,
I need to know if Ashley's there..please man..I mean we have an
hour before we get
to Kentucky.. I have to see this." Justin pleaded.
"You guys, wanna watch TRL with Justin and me?" Chris asked the guys.
"Sure," said Joey and Lance.
"So, who's on?" Lance asked getting comfy.
"The Backstreet Boys.. topic: girlfriends.. Justin wants to know if Ashley is there." Chris said.
"Oh okay," Lance said.
"Well Justin, the moment we have been waiting for...Is Ashley still with Nick?" Joey said.
"Be quiet man, it's comin
back on," Justin said.
"Okay and we're back. We've got Christina in the audience.
Christina?" Carson called trying to spot the face in the MTV
studios.
"Hi Carson, hi Backstreet Boys!!" she almost screamed into the mike.
"Hey Christina," Kev and AJ said.
"Chris where are you from?" Carson asked leaning on AJ.
"Kentucky!" she replied enthusiastically.
"Alright, Kentucky representing Wildcats in the house!" Brian said happily.
"And do you have the lyric for us Christina?" Carson asked.
"Is it Kid Rock's 'Bawitdaba'?" she asked.
"Well Christina that is correct!" Carson said playfully.
"Oh wow!!!! Can you sign it Carson? And BSB could you sign it as well?" she asked.
"Sure!" they replied laughing.
They finished counting down the
videos.. the guys took questions which were the standard 'what's
your favorite song off the album' and stuff like that.. Well we
were up to the number 2 position which was held by Nsync. Doesn't
that bring back
memories? I wonder if Justin is doing well with Melissa?
"And we have John Norris, with MTV news John?" Carson said.
"Well besides I just have to say 'Backstreet Mania is in full effect' hey guys, Brian, Nick, Howie AJ, Kevin how are you guys?" John asked. They said their usual greeting before John continued.
"It seems as though, we may have a little hear say going on between the 'Princess of Pop' herself Britney Spears, and Mr. Justin Randall Timberlake , Britney quoted in the Orlando Sentential that in fact her and Justin were dating and hopes fans will accept it. But Justin confirms that they are in fact NOT dating, and the Britney got the wrong idea.. All I can say is that it'll make our Nsync fans really happy that Justin is still available," John said laughing.
"Guys do you have an impression of Ms. Spears?" Carson asked.
"No comment," they replied.
"Here is Nsync with 'I
drive Myself Crazy' on TRL #2 for the 6th straight day.."
Carson replied and the video ran threw.
"Justin, Britney said that?" JC said after waking up
from his long sleep.
"I think I'll call TRL and tell them the real story..." Justin said grabbing the phone.
"Hello we are taking calls at 1 888 311 4343.. if you have calls for the Backstreet Boys. And MTV has just informed me we have our own Nsync cutie Justin Timberlake on the phone.. Justin?" Carson said.
"This is boyband central.. how's everything my man? Are you here to talk about the Britney incident?" Carson said.
"Yeah," Justin replied.
"Justin are you sure that's a good idea?" Chris said.
"Be quiet," Joey said.
"Yeah me and Britney were
good friends and I think she got the wrong impression when I
invited to her come along on tour with us. We needed someone to
fill in for Tatiyana because she was sick so I called her. She
thought that is was something more but I am here to confirm that
we are in fact not dating and I am still single!" Justin
said laughing as all of the girls in the audience screamed.
"Ashley isn't that you're ex boyfriend?" Amanda asked.
"Yeah, he told me he was going with someone but obviously he was lying to me!" I said to her. Justin did hang up the phone eventually and the Carson went back to the guys Q & A.
"Hi, I'm from CA and I was just wondering to Brian, if you are still dating Leighanne Wallace, AJ are you with Amanda and Nick are you with Mandy? I hope that's not too private!" she exclaimed.
"What do you know their license plates numbers too?" Carson said laughing.
"You guys is that too personal?" he asked them.
"We'll answer it since knowing our fans they will know anyways..." AJ said.
"Yes I am still dating my Panda.. Amanda," he said laughing.
"I have broken up with Mandy but I won't get into who I am dating.." Nick said "Aww," the girls in the audience.
"Come, on it's personal..." Nick said.
"OK we respect that.." Carson said.
"Brian..?" Carson asked him.
"I have broken up with Leighanne but as like Nick won't get into the details of who she is.." Brian announced.
"On that note... with 33%
of your phones.. and 34% of your web requests singing the number
one song on TRL for the 6th straight day is The Backstreet Boys
with 'I want it that way'":
You are My Fire
The One Desire
Believe When I say I want it that way
But We are two worlds apart (screaming of girls starts)
Can't Reach To Your Heart
When You Say That I Want It That Way
Tell Me Why
(aint nothing but a heartache)
Tell Me Why
(aint nothing but a mistake)
Tell me Why
(I never want to hear you say I want it that way)
Am I you fire (yes you are baby, one girl screams which throws AJ
off)
Your one desire
Yes I know it's too late
But I want it that way
Tell me Why
(aint nothing but a heartache)
Tell me Why
(aint nothing but a mistake)
Tell me Why
(I never hear you say I want it that way)
Now I can see that we're falling apart (screams become louder and
louder)
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance I want you to know
That deep down inside of me....
You are my fire
the one desire
You are.. you are.. you are.. you are..
(Don't wanna here you say)
The song fades out... and that's the end of TRL. The guys sign
autographs ( I mean loads of them) and they walk out to the
limousine and see thousand so fans lined up on the streets.
Carson says it's the biggest crowd ever.
~*~
"Justin, come on man we are here..." Chris said. As everyone exited that only left Mr. Timberlake who was still watching TRL.
"Face it Justin, she's not
there... " Chris said. Chris said dragging Justin away from
the television. They walked out of the
limo and who should they spot but Melissa.
"Mel, what are you doing here?" Justin asked amazed.
"I don't believe this, 20 min before our show you are out here talking to some girl..OK man that it's I've had it hurry up!" Chris said before entering backstage.
"Well, I am sorry for the way I treated you.. I really am! Can you please forgive me? I thought I couldn't handle you always being away but I found out I couldn't.. but the worse part would be not having any contact with you." she said giving him a kiss on the nose.
"I have to confess...you remember Ashley my ex..well I am still getting over her, so it may take a little time for me.." he said looking into her eyes.
"Justin, take all the time you want because I will not be leaving you!" she said.
"Now, hurry up you have a concert to do! I'll be backstage!"
