Bianca
and Brianna were sitting in Brianna's room when they heard a key in the door.
"Hey,"
Kevin said. "Bianca, Nick thought you were in his room. That's where
he..." Kevin stopped short when he saw Brianna's scratched face.
"Baby, what the hell happened to you?" he asked walking over and
touching her cheek.
"Call
Nick and we'll tell you both at once," Brianna said. Kevin picked up the
phone and called Nick's room.
**********
"You
did what?!" Kevin exclaimed, looking at Brianna in disbelief.
"Hold
up a second. You mean to tell me that Brianna beat the shit out of Britney
Spears?"
"Britney
and Christina Aguilera," Bianca countered.
"First
of all," Brianna said, "I didn't beat the shit out of anyone. I just
roughed 'em up a little. Second of all, I had my reasons for doing what I
did."
"You
still haven't shared those reasons with us yet..." Kevin pointed out.
Brianna's
eyes flashed with anger, but Bianca explained first. "To begin with, they
called me and Brianna Backstreet ho's! And if that wasn't enough, they called
us talent less. Even you guys! And I wanted to smash the hell out of 'em, but
Brianna got there first!"
Kevin
kissed Brianna on top of her head. "They shouldn't have said that stuff
about you two. Brianna," he said pulling her close, "you are not a
whore to me. Don't even think that anything she said about us finding anybody
else is remotely true."
"Thank
you, baby," she said and squeezed his hands.
"Kevin's
right," Nick agreed. "Bean, I love you way too much for something
stupid to happen now. They're just jealous because they're not as beautiful all
made-up as you are naturally. And that you can out-sing them any day." He
took Bianca's face in his hands and kissed her softly.
Bianca
kissed him back and smiled slightly. "I love you, too baby, but that still
doesn't compensate for the fact that they called us whores. I think they
deserved everything they got!"
"Yeah,
you're right," Kevin said, "but it's over now so let's just drop it.
Brianna, baby, do you feel like taking a nap?"
"Yeah,
I'm kinda tired." Bianca and Nick left to go to their room and Brianna and
Kevin settled in for an afternoon nap.
**Two
Hours Later**
Bianca
and Nick had been out to lunch and to a few little shops. Basically just
wondering around aimlessly. Both had on baseball caps and a pair of shades to
keep their faces hidden.
"You
know, today has been fun. Well except for an incident that we won't
discuss," Bianca smiled.
"Yeah,
I've enjoyed just spending the day by ourselves," Nick replied wrapping
his arms around her waist.
"Hey,
Bianca?" they heard someone call as they entered the hotel lobby and
headed for the elevator. They turned around to see Brian walking toward them.
"Hey,
what's up?" she asked still wrapped in Nick's arms.
"Hey
Nick. Um, I was wondering if I could possibly steal you from Nick for a little while.
I, uh, have something I need to talk to you about," he said.
"Yeah,
okay," she said already aware of what Brian wanted to discuss. "Nick,
baby, you don't mind do you? I see A.J. and Howie in the restaurant. Why don't
you go talk to them?"
"Umm,
alright," he kissed her cheek. Under his breath he mumbled, "I really
don't have a choice, do I?"
Kissing
Nick softly on the lips, Bianca and Brian stepped into the elevator, leaving
Nick feeling a little left out.
'What
does Brian have to talk to Bean about that's such a big secret?' he thought to
himself while heading over to talk to A.J. and Howie.
