"Look I'm serious guys I bought a dress with me! There's no need to
go buy a new one, seriously."
"No matter how many times you say serious, that's not going to cut it
with us. You're in New York baby and you're gonna look straight New
York. With that we have to take the Michigan out of you."
"Hey hey, lay off the Michigan."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, get in the limo."
"Justin I'm serious!"
"There we go again. Look lady's have fun, I'll see you all tonight?"
"Yup, will do."
"Oh and don't worry Justin, we'll hooch her up some."
"Say what?" Dez quickly closed the limo door before Kristina could
hop out. They understood that she was this little Michigan girl at
heart but there was a firey side to her they had to unleash. For
goodness sake she wasn't going to be on national television, sitting
with the crème de la crème wearing some Windsor or Wet Seal dress!
"I say we hit 5th avenue first."
"5th avenue? That sounds familiar, kind of like Saks."
"My goodness Ashley I think she might not be in the dark as we think
she is."
"Hey I know about fashion. I so happen to love Christian Dior and
Channel, that doesn't mean I'm going to go out and buy it."
"You're not, Justin is."
"I know but I don't want to use him like that. I mean I don't want to
spend his money like its nothing."
"One you're not, he's given you permission and two he's the one who
offered. Its not everyday you can get free stuff from someone let
alone someone who cares for you. Me and Ash aren't gold diggers but
if Chris or J.C. offers why not take it? We give them all the love
and affection they could ever ask for so why not take a day at the
spa or a nice pair of Jimmy Choos? If they're comfortable with it,
why not?"
"Look Tina, he wants to do this for you, just let him."
"I guess you're right. But if its crazy expensive then I'm not going
to bother!" The two girls looked at each other. She said that now but
once she found the right dress then she'd be forgetting those words.
The girls walked in a few stores, not really finding anything they
wanted. Their last try was some fancy looking boutique that had so
many dresses that it made her dizzy.
"Oh girl I then found the dress for you!!!" Ashley sung while
Kristina took off quite possibly her millionth dress. She didn't pay
any attention to what she was getting. She just took it and tried it
on.
"Oh my word Ash!"
"Let's see Kristina!!" Ashley and Dez waited for Kristina to shyly
walk out of the dressing room. Both of their eyes grew in surprise.
"That's the dress!"
"I don't know guys."
"Girl shut up, come on." Kristina peeled the dress off and handed to
the girls to purchase it. She found the dress alright. Now everyone
back home was really gonna call her a hooch. "Now we have to get you
to fit the dress."
"Huh?"
"You'll see." Kristina's luck rubbed off on Dez and Ash and they
found their outfits as well. Soon they were making their way to the
mystic tan for Kristina, hair salon and makeup artist to get ready
for the night. Kristina's mind was running a mile a minute. All this
for something that was only going to last for 2 hours? She was only
the date for Pete's sake! The girls after a long day made it back to
the hotel and got a quick nap before getting up to put their clothes
on and wait for the guys to come up to their rooms. The knocks on the
door told them that they were there now.
"You guys don't have on your clothes yet?!" Joey moaned.
"We're about to put them on, you just sit and chill." Kristina was
still in the bathroom with Dez when they all came in. This was too
good, Justin had on a white suit? Now they were going to match which
would make things interesting. What was he going to say when he saw
her? He'd definitely be shocked. Ashley was the first one to get her
clothes on. Her brown Jean Paul Gaultier was ooh'd and ah'd by the
guys, especially Joey.
"You go out there next."
"Why me?"
"Um cuz I'm the Michigan girl no one would except this from?"
"Right, ok." Dez straightened the bottom of her dress out before
stepping out of the room.
"Dezi, dezi, dezi, you look fantastic!" J.C. got up and gave his
girlfriend a kiss on the cheek.
"Yeah Dez you look great." The satin pink and brown Betsy Johnson
dress meshed terrific against her caramel skin.
"Thanks, wait till you see Tina."
"Come on out babe, let us see." Kristina took a deep breath and
looked at herself in the mirror. Slowly she walked out of the
bathroom. The whole room grew silent.
"Kris--tina?"
"Jeah?"
"Wow."
"It looks bad huh?"
"NO!!" all the guys said in unison.
"We're just shocked babe. You look sexy as all @#%$."
"Really?"
"Really, we're just shocked. I think we're all shocked to see you
wearing it because we're so used to seeing you in tee-shirts and
jeans. You guys went all out and it shows."
"Thanks."
"I must agree with J, you look hot girl."
"Thanks Joey."
"Now how are we going to get an award if we have our eyes on you all
night?"
"I have no clue" she laughed. "Um guys we'd better get out of here so
we can at least arrive fashionably late."
"Right, right, come on lets go." The whole crowd exited the room.
Kristina noticed that Justin was far behind so she slowed down so he
could catch up.
"Why'd you slow down?"
"To wait for you."
"I was walking slow for a reason."
"Why?"
"I like your ass in that dress."
"Oh my word" she giggled.
"J'lo got nothing on you."
"She never did. Jen is cool and all but when it come to sistas we
rule the booty market. Besides I live in Michigan, we have to store
our fat somewhere to keep warm."
"Girl you are something else." The flashes and bright lights were
more than she ever thought possible. They were about to step out into
the paparrazi circus. "Ready?"
"Yup." Slowly the Hummer limo pulled up to the red carpet.
"Ladies and gentleman, N*Sync!" The whole crowd cheered on. This was
a sound that was just indescribable. Kristina had been to plenty of
Backstreet concerts but this noise took the cake. Justin held her
hand tighter as they walked further down the carpet. They stopped and
took a few pictures. The lights pretty much blinded her. All she
could do was just smile because she couldn't really see anything else.
"Justin who's you're date?"
"Are you two still dating?" The questions were flying everywhere.
"This is my beautiful girlfriend Kristina and yes we are seeing each
other. We never broke up to begin with. Get to know her, I'm going to
go say hi to some of the fans." Justin gave her a kiss on the cheek
and whispered to her to remember what he said before going to say
hello to his adoring fans.
"How does it feel to date a superstar?"
"Its feels amazing I love him so much."
"Are you in the industry?"
"No."
"Where did you two meet?"
"Back home."
"And that is…?"
"Michigan, speaking of Michigan, can I say hi to my friends Krystal,
Jasmine, Darnise and Emma?"
"Sure!"
"Hey guys!" she laughed.
"We'd better get in there" Justin said returning to Kristina.
"Yeah ok." Justin and Krisitna followed up with the rest of the guys
but suddenly Justin stopped. "What's going on?"
"There's someone I want you to meet."
"Ok." Justin tapped the guys that stood in front of them and they all
turned around. It was the Backstreet Boys! She could've passed out.
After all those concerts here they were standing less than a foot
away! She was shell shocked.
"Hey."
"Hey Justin, how are ya?" Kevin asked.
"Good and yourself?"
"Good, good, I wanted you guys to meet my girlfriend Kristina, she's
like you're biggest fan."
"Very nice to meet you" A.J. smiled. Damn Justin had a fine ass
girlfriend.
"Nice to meet you all too. I just can't believe this is happening! I
love you guys. I have all your cds imported and all and I've been to
all your concerts at the Palace and the State theater."
"We appreciate it really."
"You're the kind of fan we pray for, thanks for listening and being
there for us."
"One of our songs in on your album Nick."
"Which one?"
"My confession."
"Cool man."
"Well maybe Justin can give us like a number or something and next
time we're in Detroit you'll have some front row seats."
"Oh my word that would be a dream."
"Anything for a fan."
"Thanks."
"Well see you inside."
"Yup, see ya man." Justin basically had to carry Krisitna in she was
shaking so much.
"I don't know how many thank yous I'm gonna give you for that but
expect to hear thank you over and over and over again."
"No problem, you know I'd do anything for you."
