SHINING STAR

Chapter 11

*In The Limousine On The Way To The Billboard Awards*

Nick and Danielle sat in the back part of limo area as the guys sat around the sides and in the front. AJ asked Ashley to go with him, and all the other guys had dates as well.

"Nervous?", Nick asked.

"Who me?", Danielle sitting back as Nick put his arm around her.

"Yea you, you sure have been acting like it. Your all jumpy baby. Calm down, it’s gonna be fun. Walking down the Red Carpet is always pretty fun, just lots of interviews and cameras flashing and people screaming on the side and it’s just plain nuts I hate it", Nick said with a serious face.

Danielle’s eyes widened, "What?"

Nick laughed, "I’m just kidding baby, it’s nothing that bad"

"Nick geez you had me scared", Danielle said shaking her head.

"I know", he grinned, "No really all we really do is walk through have a couple professional pictures done for the papers and some fans on the side take pictures, some autographs we give out and have a couple interviews and then we go inside and sit down"

"Ok", Danielle smiled as Nick kissed her on the lips. The limo stopped as they pulled up to the Red Carpet. The door was opened by the driver soon. Nick stepped out first and helped Danielle out as everybody else got out behind them. Danielle and Nick held hands as they walked down the red carpet. Danielle looked around as she saw the fans on the side, they were pointing and she overheard them saying Oh my god that’s the girl that was on the internet that’s said to be his fiancée. Nick overheard it as well as both him and Dani looked at each other. They were interrupted by John Norris from MTV news.

"Excuse, hi Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys everybody", John Norris announced as they were live on MTV. Nick greeted him nicely.

"So Nick there’s been some rumors going around that your engaged to the mystery women that you drew a picture of and was shown on the Rosie show. No one has seen her before and now here she is", John said as the camera was shot on Nick and Danielle as Nick had his arm around Danielle’s waist.

Nick gave a light laugh and small smile, "Well let me introduce my girlfriend to everybody. This is Danielle", Nick said as Danielle smiled and said Hi, "And no I don’t know where the rumor came about that we were engaged. But about the picture I drew of Danielle. I would like to clear up the story of that. I drew the picture in my free time on the tour bus, I had never met Danielle before when I drew that picture but when I showed that picture on the show, I found out Danielle was real when some other girls took pictures and posted them on the web and then I met her backstage at one of our concerts after she got hurt"

"Ah ok folks I hope that clears everything for you", John said as a fan nearby held up a picture of a ring on Danielle’s left ring finger.

"But then what is this ring?", she asked.

"This one?", Danielle asked holding up her hand showing as the camera took a shot of it.

"Yes", the fan nodded.

"That’s the ring I gave her to be my girlfriend", Nick explained, "Well now that we got everything cleared up we’re gonna go enjoy the show now". Danielle and Nick then went inside to their seats.

*Later That Night*

Danielle unlocked the door of her house as Nick stood there behind her. They walked in and turned the lights on as they shut the door behind them.

"Man I can’t believe your leaving tomorrow", Danielle sighed as they sat down on the couch in the living room.

"Yeah I know. We only have been able to spend two days together, why don’t you come on the road with me for awhile?", Nick asked as Danielle laid her head on his shoulder.

She looked up, "Nick I have college, I have a life of my own too"

"Yeah I know, I just don’t want to be apart from you", Nick told her as he rubbed his hand up and down her cheek softly.

"Well either do I. How long does the tour have to go for?", Danielle responded.

"Two and a half months more", Nick told her.

"Well I think we can make it, I mean we have phones and airplanes when you have a little time off and I’m sure I could at least come and visit you when I get some time off", Danielle answered looking into Nick’s eyes, "It’s gonna be hard not seeing you but I want to give this the best try ever"

"Me too baby", Nick said as he pulled her into his arms tight and kissed her on the forehead.
