Saturday, April 21st
Dublin, Ireland

[Karsyn]

I woke up with a hangover, even though I barely drunk the night before. I've never been much of a drinker. Honestly, the cruise was the first time I really got drunk.

Emmileigh and I made our train and all I wanted to do was sleep on the way to Dublin, but I couldn't shut my mind off. The first real day of the tour and Nick already knew my name. Except he knew it from Twitter and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Did that mean he knew who I was on the cruise? I had all of these questions going through my head that I wanted answers to.

"What are you thinking about?" Emmileigh asked as I looked over at her.

"Last night."

"Last night was awesome."

"I'm scared Nick thinks I'm crazy now," I whispered as Emmi started to laugh. "I'm serious."

"I doubt it," she said as I took my cell phone out. Thankfully I had gotten international coverage on my iPhone and opened up Twitter, flipping through the people I follow.

"Nick tweeted 'Hello Dublin,'" I said as Emmi smiled. "They're already there so I guess they did have an early morning this morning. We're going to have a long day today."

"VIP isn't until five," Emmi said as I nodded and smiled as I opened up a message to tweet. "What are you smiling."

"Tweeting Nick," I said as she shook her head. "If he thinks I'm crazy, might as well act it. Maybe he likes crazy. Then again, he'll never like my crazy, fat ass."

"Oh shut up," Emmi sighed, snuggling up in her jacket that she had over her arms.

I was super tired from the night before. Not that we did much other than seeing the show and hanging out at the bar. My mind just didn't want to shut off.

All I kept seeing was Donnie drinking from my glass of wine, and all I kept hearing was that moan he let out at the taste.

He was totally teasing me.

The train journey to Dublin went fast. Karsyn was fighting between trying to sleep and tweeting on the way there. It was so cool how Nick knew her from twitter, I mean he already knew her by name! That was so cool. But what worried me was Karsyn's comment about him not liking her fat ass.

Because I could tell Nick liked her. I just didn't want her insecurities ruining that.

Today we were staying at the Morrison Hotel, which was just as beautiful as the last hotel. It was situated right by the river, and our room gave us an amazing view. Trouble was the arena was a good walking distance away, and it was raining. We ended up getting a taxi to the arena, turning up just as VIP were being called.

I'd almost forgotten how routine a Backstreet Boys soundcheck was. I'd been to my fair share on previous tours, so I wasn't clueless when it came to what happened during them. Karsyn hadn't been to as many as me, and sometimes I'd forget that.

This soundcheck was much like the day befores, only Nick had brought his guitar out on stage, something which excited Karsyn from the get go. I couldn't help but laugh as Karsyn pretty much melted when Nick sat there plucking at the strings whilst answering his question.

It was picture time again after that. I wasn't as shy as the day before, which I was glad about. I kinda knew how I wanted this to go.

I stepped forward, grinning at Nick as I made my way over. I spied their body guard hovering around me. There was no way he was rushing me.

"Hey," I held my hand out, which Nick took, and leant forward, kissing his cheek. "This is for you," I whispered before pulling back slightly.

I could feel Karsyn's eyes boring into the moment, but it was harmless. I felt Nick grip my hand and knew he felt the piece of paper I was holding. I pushed it into his hand before winking at him.

I knew Karsyn was going to kill me, but it was for her benefit.. I swear!

I kissed the rest of the guys on the cheek, maybe lingering on AJ's a little longer than I needed to. Guy smelt HEAVENLY.. seriously, how Karsyn didn't notice yesterday I never knew. I made sure I was stood between AJ and Howie for my picture, and smiled when I felt AJ's hands on my shoulders.

Sure I was all about Donnie, but something about AJ attracted me to him also. He was hot, but he was no Donnie.

I thanked them for their time before walking away and watching as Karsyn had her picture.

I just wondered if Nick knew I'd just given him her number.
