GOTCHA! Chapter 4
I watched the action from backstage. I didn't want to go out front and have to face another guard. I got as close as I could to see every thing. As I said before this was my first concert. However, I kept getting distracted by AJ. He knew where I was standing and kept coming over to that part of the stage, shaking his bootie or doing those pelvic thrusts that drove me insane. When it came time for them to do, As Long As You Love Me, he came over to me and brought me up on stage. I tried to pull away, I didn't want to go up there. "No. AJ, don't do this." I begged. But, he was stronger than I was, he pulled me up on stage with ease. There was a stool sitting centre stage, AJ led me over there and sat me down. Howie came out with a bouquet of roses. I was speechless. What were they up to? "Okay, Toronto, are you having fun yet?" Nick asked the crowd. To which he was answered with screams. "Well, we have a little announcement to make. This lady right here," he said pointing to me, "is going to be following us five guys around for the next year to make a video." I almost fainted. They had decided to go ahead with it. Kevin continued, "That's right. Everything that you have wanted to know about us, she will let you know." "How many of them are virgins?" I heard someone yell from the front row. Since AJ was standing next to me, I grabbed his mike, "I don't know the answer to that yet, but I will find that out, and so much more." The crowd cheered. "But first, we are going to dedicate this song to her." Howie announced. All the guys surrounded me and each placed a kiss on my cheek, except for AJ, who managed to get me full on the lips. The music started and I was lost in the words. I sang along quietly, since I knew the song by heart. It all ended too soon. I was a little disappointed when AJ led me off the stage. But he left me with a kiss. The rest of the show was fantastic, I was as wound up as the guys were. I didn't think that it was possible, they had to be exhausted, they had just danced around on stage for two hours, they had to be tired. I was wrong. When we got back to the hotel, the guys wanted to release some of their energy. They went to the pool. I looked around for a camera, this would be a perfect place to start. Luckily I found one of the tour managers and once I told him what I wanted he agreed. I knew that I would have to sneak up on them or they would put their guards up. The manager found me Kevin's little camcorder, I checked for a tape and ran down to the lobby. Before I even got there, I could hear them. I was amazed that the management didn't throw them out. I got comfortable behind a plastic tree, there was no way that they would see me. Just as I pushed the record button, they all settled down and got serious. "So AJ, what is with all this kissey stuff with Erin?" Howie asked. I almost stopped taping. Almost. For the first time since I have heard of AJ McLean, he lowered his head as though he was blushing, "What do you mean?" "Look at this, he is blushing? AJ, what is going on?" Brian grilled. After a second of silence, AJ sighed heavily, "I don't know guys. I am enamored with her. Is that the right word?" "How can you feel that way? You have only known her for 12 hours." Nick stated. I was shocked. I mean, this was the last thing that I expected. I had, of course, hoped that maybe something would come of this little adventure that I had booked myself on, but not this and not so soon. I knew that I was 'in love' with AJ the performer, but what about AJ the person? "I know that this is crazy, not like me, but, there is just something about her. I want to protect her, be with her." AJ looked at all the guys and whispered, "Make love to her." I suddenly shut the camera off and sat perfectly still. I didn't want to be discovered. As soon as the coast was clear, I left. I didn't want to hear anymore. My heart had soared when I heard him say that he wanted to be with me, but when I heard that he wanted to make love with me, that was it. No more. I ran all the way to my room slammed the door and cried. Why is it that when I never wanted love it always found me? And I always got my heart broken. I didn't have a VCR in my room, so I just watched the video tape through the lens. Luckily Kevin had splurged for a top of the line model and I was able to hear what was said. I must have watched it a thousand times. It was around three o'clock that there was a knock on my door. Who would be at my door at three o'clock in the morning?
