Chicago
Day  Two

"Guys!" said Ani shaking Bex and I.
Bex and I wake up on the couch where we had fallen asleep the night previous.
"Hey Ani," said Bex as she sat up "What time is it?"
" Ten thirty, "said Ani "Kenny and I just got up too."
" Go get dressed we'll go out for brunch, "said Bex.
" Okay, "said Ani "Kenny get dressed Bex is taking us out for brunch."
Kenny and Ani are dressed within twenty minutes. Bex is done in thirty. As for me I was done in fifteen.
"Where should we go for brunch?" asked Bex.
"Brady's?" suggested Ani.
Bex locks the door "Kenny?"
" Brady's sounds good as long as I can have the chicken cesar salad. "
"As long as you eat it," said Ani.
"I will," retorted Kenny.
"Promise?" said Bex as we all climbed into her navy blue Honda CRV.
"Yes," said Kenny.
"Ok then Brady's it is,"said Bex as she pulled onto her street " That ok with you Colby? "
"As long as Brady's has burgers I'm good," I said .
Bex turns on the radio and a cd starts playing
Chances by Backstreet Boys  from the DNA album.
Ani,Kenny and Bex all start singing.

What if I never run into you?
What if you never smiled at me?
What if I had noticed you, too?
And you never showed up where I happened to be

What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?
On a quiet night, what are the odds?
What's a guy like me doing in a place like this?
I could have just walked by, who would have thought?

What are the chances that we'd end up dancing?
Like two in a million, like once in a life
That I could have found you, put my arms around you
Like two in a million, like once in a life
What are the chances?

What if I hadn't asked for your name?
And time hadn't stopped when you said it to me? Oh
Of all of the plans that I could have made
Of all of the nights that I couldn't sleep, oh

What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?
In a crowded room, what are the odds?
What's a guy like me doing in a place like this?
Getting close to you, but here we are?

What are the chances that we'd end up dancing?
Like two in a million, like once in a life
That I could have found you, put my arms around you
Like two in a million, like once in a life
What are the chances?

Is it love? Is it fate?
Who am I? Who's to say?
Don't know exactly what it means (ooh, oh, yeah)
Is it love? Is it fate?
Where it leads, who can say?
Maybe you and I were meant to be

What, what
What are the chances that we'd end up dancing?
Two in a million, once in a life
That I could have found you, put my arms around you (my arms around you)
Two in a million (it's like two in a million)
Like once in a life, yeah (whoa)
What are the chances? (What are the chances?)
Two in a million, once in a life
What are the chances? (What are the chances?)
Two in a million, once in a life

What if I never run into you?
And what if you never smiled at me?

"Bex is this their DNA album or a mixed cd?" asks Ani.
"My BSB mix," said Bex as I'll Never Break Your Heart  pumps out of the speakers.
"A Backstreet Boys fan?" I ask.
Bex nods as she sings every word to the song playing and she turns onto another street.
"Yes," said Bex "Was,still and always will be."
" Bex took Kenny and I to their Vegas Show for Kenny's eighth birthday. Take Bex to a BSB concert you will see a totally different side of her"said Ani.

My Car

"Ani whatever do you mean?" I smirked.
"OH NICK I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!" said Ani with a giggle.
"You didn't?!" said Colby.
"Fraid so," I said "I had a fan girl moment. At least I refrained from throwing my underwear at him."
" People actually did that?! "said Colby his eyebrows shooting up in surprise.
" That and hotel room keys, "I said.
" Even though all of them are married with children? "said Colby.
"Wait a second are," I began.
Colby nodded "Guilty. An ex of mine was a fan and I took her to a concert for the Black and Blue Tour and well I was hooked."
" Really, "I said with a smile.
He nods "Yep."
" Cool, "I said.
" You do remember we are back here right? "asks Ani.
"Yes Ani," I said.
"Just checking," said Ani.
Colby and I laughed.
"What is your favorite track from their new album?" I ask.
"Ok," said Colby.
"I think that one is next," I said as I'll Never Break Your Heart  ended.
As I predicted Ok  was next. We all start to sing.

July
It's only been a month since I met you
I gotta say that was my favorite June
And I knew, from that night
That I would be alright

If I
I only knew that one day I would find
Someone like you, I'd take back all those nights I wasted
Looking for the right one at the wrong door

We fit together, you make me better
Whatever it takes, I'm here forever
Bad things will happen, but none of that matters
We'll find a way, as long as I'm with you, I'm ok

Baby, I'm all in it
Just tell me you were on in it
People wanna talk, shut 'em all off
And tell 'em all to mind their business
Will for the grumps and cynics
Been that way from the beginning
People see what they don't have
They get sad and act out 'cause they're winning

Ooh, I love the way you wanna love me too
Ooh, eh, eh

We fit together, you make me better
Whatever it takes, I'm here forever
Bad things will happen, but none of that matters
We'll find a way, as long as I'm with you, I'm ok

Nothing else matters
As long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Nothing else matters
As long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Nothing else matters
And baby, I know, we'll find a way
Eh, eh, as long as I'm with you, I'm ok

Ooh, I love the way you wanna love me too
Ooh
Ooh, I love the way you wanna love me too
Ooh, eh, eh

We fit together, you make me better
Whatever it takes, I'm here forever
Bad things will happen, but none of that matters
We'll find a way, as long as I'm with you, I'm ok

Nothing else matters
As long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Nothing else matters
As long as I'm with you, I'm ok
Nothing else matters
And baby, I know, we'll find a way
Eh, eh, as long as I'm with you, I'm ok

By the time  I pulled into Brady's we are laughing and having a good time.
