Chapter 51: I Do
(Cherish You)
"What happened with Ashley and Leighanne?" Kev asked
seeing Brian enter the elevator with me in his hands.
"I have no idea, all I see is Leighanne pinned on Ashley, and they were fighting," Nick said to Kevin.
"Wow, I hope Brian knows how special he is," Kevin said laughing.
"Yeah, I would love it if Ashley and Julie fought over me!" Nick said giving Kev a high five.
"You still have feelings for Ashley don't you?" Kevin asked him all joking aside.
"Yeah, just a little bit.." he said. He sighed and thought once more of Ashley. Am I ever going to get over her?
"Brian, I'm fine.. okay?!" I told him as he laid me gently down on the bed.
"Are you sure?" he asked concerned.
"Yes, but I have to admit I love the attention!" I said laughing at his serious expressions.
"I just want to make sure my baby's okay.." Brian said, lying next to me.
"I am better now that you're here," I said messing with his hair.
"Hey, Ashley.. me and the guys heard your little conversation with the girls.. and I was just wondering about what you said." Brian said leaning over to look at me.
"Oh yeah.. we were just kidding around.. well at least some of us. Amanda, and I meant everything we said." I said looking deep into those baby blue eyes.
"Everything?" Brian said. I looked back at him.
"Yeah, everything.." I said and he gave me a kiss, that gave me goose bumps all over. I continued to kiss him back, when I heard a knock on the door.
"Ugh!!!" Brian said.
"Yeah?" he said getting up.
"Brian, come on, we gotta do a press interview in 20 min.." Howie said before leaving. "Ashley what happened?" he asked eyeing my clothes..
"Long story!" I told him.
"OK, but come on Brian, we gotta get going.." Howie said urgently.
"I'm sorry, I wanted this to be your day!" Brian said sighing.
"Just being with you made it enough! Plus Erica's here, So go on ahead.. have fun," I said giving him a quick kiss before he left. The guys left and I told Amanda the girls.. that I was going shopping with Erica.

"OK, well we're finally back to our original destination. Cleveland, Ohio here we come," Lance said.
"Man, Lance you know everything.." Joey commented.
"Yeah well," Lance said.
While Justin was in the shower in the hotel, JC picked up the phone.
"Hello, Ashley?" JC said into the phone.
Well, needless to say Erica brought her red Mercedes, and we were cruising around when my cell phone rang.
"Hello?" I said. "Hi, JC," I said surprised once again. 2 calls in one day.
"I just called to say hi, I know your birthday wasn't great one, and I know Justin and the guys didn't make it any better! I'm sorry!" JC said. OK this is your chance man, tell her you've always liked her. Come on JC you can do this! He urged himself.
"Yeah, well at least you came that was thoughtful and sweet, I'm glad you guys did come though!!! So don't feel bad!" I told him.
"Yeah, I am too." JC said sighing.
"So have you found one person in particular that you've got your claws into?" I asked him happily.
"Yeah, but I'm still in love with this other girl, I've known her for awhile.. and she's everything to me! But I lost her twice.. and since then I wasn't able to get her back," JC said.
"Well keep being persistent.. girls love that!" I said encouragingly.
"But the thing is she's got a boyfriend," JC said sadly.
"Well if you really love her you'll wait.. maybe she'll see you're the one!" I told him. "Now cheer up, I hate to see you sad! Give a hello to Justin and to the rest of the guys! Love ya JC!," I said and hung up the phone.
"Luv ya?" Erica asked.
"I tried to cheer him up, plus he knows I mean as it as a friend! Geez girl... you make things bigger than they really are!" I said laughing.
"Well, guess who's on the air?" Erica said turning up the radio to hear the guys doing a radio/press interview for Z100.
"So, Brian got your eye on a lady?" the announcer asked.
"Yeah, I do.. she's everything to me!" Brian said.
"Awe," said the fans. I clicked it off.
"I just needed to hear his voice!" I said. We flipped stations and who should we hear but "Larger than Life," by none other than the Backstreet Boys playing threw the speakers.
"Turn it up girlfriend! See how talented my man is!!?" I said screaming. We had the top down so the world could hear. Amanda, Kat and the others were in my room, talking about my party.
"Wow, poor Ashley, she certainly had a great party," Kat said sarcastically.
"Yeah right," Claudia said.
"Did you see Justin? Man that girl has taste!" Julie said.
"Hey you guys wanna get some cokes?" Amanda asked.
"Sure," they got up when they noticed this one blond guy staring at them. And Julie was staring right back.
"Be right back guys.." she said to them. Amanda rose her eyebrows.
"Hi, I'm Julie!" she said.
"Hi, I'm Nate, and I just noticed how beautiful you were looking today.. I was going to get some coffee, do you want to come?" He asked politely.
Man he is drop dead gorgeous. I would love to get know him better!! But what about Nick? Nick won't have to know if no one tells him, she thought slyly.
"Sure, excuse me a minute," Julie said walking away.
"I'm going tog et some coffee with this nice gentleman over there ladies.. I do not know when I shall return," Julie said with a straight face. Kat and Claudia burst out laughing.
"OK, girl.. but be careful.. Nick is really on the line.. here don't hurt him!" Amanda warned.
"Are you developing feeling for him?" Kat asked her.
"No, he's like a brother to me! I look after him!" She insisted. "Plus, I've got AJ!"
"OK, I will! See you guys later!" she said happily and walked with Nate.

"JC, ready to go?" Justin said grabbing his jacket.
"Yeah I am!" JC answered back. The two of the drove to a nearby club.
"Come, on Let's party!" Justin said and they walked into the club. They sat down ordered some drinks. Justin spotted a nearby girl named Amy and decided to pursue her.
"Justin, man.. take it easy!" JC said as Justin gulped down his 3rd drink in the last 20 min.
"OK," he said and told the bartender to stop serving him drinks. Thank God they were margaritas and they only had a bit of alcohol. JC sat and thought about Ashley, when he noticed a brunette come up to him.
"Hi, is anyone sitting here?" she asked.
"No, have a seat!" JC said.
"I'm Bobbi," she said smiling at him. And I'm in heaven... he thought.
"JC," he answered back
