She said I don't know if I've
ever been good enough
“Lots of stuff has been happening
for you guys. You won some MTV Awards a couple of weeks ago,
announced an upcoming world tour, you’ve got a new album coming out, and
the big news… JC you got married!” Rosie O’Donnell tapped her
cards lightly on the desk as she looked over to the monitor feeding
her cues. “I think we may have a picture to show…Don’t we?
I think it’s coming up…there it is! There she is! Behind me
on the monitor is Aliesa Montaine with the rest of the Nsync Boys at the
European
“I really am,” JC replied gazing up at the screen, as the picture switched to a shot of Aliesa and he on the red carpet, before he met Rosie’s gaze. “So how did you two meet?” “At a party.” “So was it love at first sight?” JC shook his head. “Actually…” JC rubbed his hand along the side of his neck. “I can’t believe I’m going to admit this I’m never going to hear the end of this one from the other fellas,” he said flushing looking at the other guys. “But uh… well the first time I met Aliesa she wouldn’t give me the time of day.” He grinned sheepishly at the audience. Rosie gaped at him. “Really? She blew you off?” “When you say it like that you make it sound so pathetic.” “Cause it is!” Rosie teased. The other guys laughed. “But WOW I can’t believe that. JC! You’re such a hottie. Honey if you came up to me I would have talked to you!” “If only you were at this party!” JC said a smile playing on his lips. “I know! Where was I? Probably doing this show! I need some time off! I’m missing out here. But hey! It all turned out right in the end because she obviously noticed you later on.” “Yeah she succumbed to my charms eventually.” JC joked. “Even after the initial rejection you still went for it. Most guys would have just walked away. What made you go back?” JC grinned bashfully. “Well this is going to sound awful… because it makes me sound full of myself.” His eyes lowered. “Honestly what drew me to her in the first place was that she was actually the only single woman in the room who didn’t try to get my attention,” he admitted timidly. “So I was determined…” “Oh the GUY thing.” Rosie cracked. “So what changed her mind and made her give you a chance?” “Well…” JC started. Aliesa eyed him tiredly, swirling her drink in her hands. “I don’t date musicians. Nothing against you or anything but I’ve done that. It gets too complicated so I don’t do it anymore." “Is that what’s stopping you?” JC smirked. She nodded. “Among other things.” “Well I’m not a musician.” “You’re not a musician?” She repeated in disbelief, raising her glass to her lips and sipping the drink unimpressed. “Because last time I checked you were.” “Nope. I’m not.” He grinned. “Didn’t you hear? I’m in a boyband.” JC shrugged. “She spit out her drink at that, laughed, and after she calmed down she gave me her number. And well you know the rest…” He finished pointing at his wedding band. The audience gushed. Too bad that actually didn’t happen, JC thought as he sat there in between Chris and Lance mugging for the camera. But what was one more lie to save their public image though anyway? Aliesa and he had told enough to last a lifetime. “I can’t believe she went for that!” Rosie interjected amongst the audience commotion. “Neither can we!” Lance said from his spot on the couch. “It was a horrible pick up line.” “JC never was the smooth type,” Chris added regretfully. JC pushed the two guys playfully. “It worked though. I got the girl didn’t I?” “Certainly did!” Rosie mused. “But all joking aside… I’m really happy for you two and I mean that. I’m not just saying it to get brownie points. I’m sincerely happy that you guys found each other. I know it’s hard to find someone in this business we’re in. I wish you both all the best.” “Thank you.” “According to my handy dandy cue cards taped to my desk. And they literally are TAPED to my desk,” Rosie said pointing to them. “You boys have a new album in the works. When is that getting released?” “We’re just cleaning up some tracks now and if everything goes according to plan it should be out in about two or three months,” Justin answered. “Well definitely looking forward to it and I know other people are as well. I’m sure it will sell millions just like the last ones.” Rosie said warmly. “Hope so.” “When it comes out come back on the show okay!” The guys all grinned and nodded. “Alright!” She turned
towards the cameras. “More things to look forward to!
Tickets for the upcoming tour this spring just went on sale TODAY.
I believe you can purchase them through Ticketmaster. The boys put
on an AMAZING live show. I caught them the last time they were in
town. You don’t want to miss that.” Rosie picked up several
CD cases and propped it them forward. “And of course
till the new one comes out you can still get your Nsync fill by picking
up any of the other albums. They are all
“Thanks for having us,” Joey responded, the other guys following similar suit. “NSYNC everybody!” ***************************
“Welcome back! This is Z100 in New York you’re listening to Cubby and for those of you who have just tuned in… I’m sitting less than 5 feet away from the beautiful and talented Ms. Aliesa Montaine. Want to say hello again to the listeners?” “Hello again!” “I can only imagine how jealous everyone is that I have you all to myself in an enclosed space!” “That’s right! It’s just you, me, and a microphone. Very S-E-X-Y!” The two started to laugh. “We REALLY need to get back on track here. My producers are giving me the evil eye over there in the booth. Better actually do my JOB instead of flirting. Man!…So let’s get back to what we were talking about earlier before that last music set. We talked about the album, we just played the single…so how about we go ahead and discuss how you have got your very own Nsyncer! A lot of girls have got dolls but you have the live version!” “You know I was wondering when you were going to bring him up!” Aliesa cracked shaking her head. “Of course you knew it was coming!
It’s a big change since the last time you came by the station. You
“Yup. I’m all grown-up it seems.” “So what is the Mister up to while you’re sitting here with us in the studio?” “He’s actually just down the street filming a television spot with Rosie. Not too far away.” “You’ve been able to spend a lot of time together despite your busy schedules?” “We actually have. It’s just
been really lucky that our schedules coincided this time around.
We both
“How about the fans? You were saying earlier how your fans have been nothing but supportive. Has it changed? How does it compare to the Nsync fans?” “Well obviously not everybody is ecstatic about the two of us getting together. But for the most part the fans have been extremely supportive. The Nsync fans have been wonderful to tell you the truth. Like this morning we ran into some girls in the hotel lobby who were there hoping to see JC and the other guys. They were just wonderful. They were offering congratulations and they were just extremely sweet and nice. And that’s basically how it’s been. Nothing really that negative.” “I heard your parents didn’t even know about the wedding until after the fact. How are your folks reacting to the fact their little girl is married?” “Well they’re still speaking to me if that’s what you’re asking.” Aliesa joked dryly, saying nothing further. The DJ laughed. Her own forced laughter found it’s way out on the airwaves soon after. “Were they surprised?” “Under the circumstances I’d say they were.” Cubby chuckled into the microphone. “My parents would have killed me!” “Well I can say they were upset about not being there for the wedding.” “I’d imagine…so you guys staying long in New York?” “Unfortunately no. JC and I are both on our way down to Florida today. I’m starting rehearsals for my first headlining tour in the next couple of days and he’s doing some touch up work on the new album that’s coming out. But I wish I could stay longer than a day! I love New York.” “I’m feeling privileged here Aliesa that you came by Z100 to visit us the one day you’re in New York! I’m getting all tingly!” “Well you know I love you Cubby!” Aliesa laughed. “I had to come by!” “And I’m so glad you did girl! You going to sign some stuff before you leave?” “Sure am.” “You heard it people. We’ll be giving away some cool autographed Aliesa Montaine gear…maybe a copy of the new album, the single, and some concert tickets…who knows what else! Your chance will be coming up after this commercial break. Keep the dial locked in here at Z100.” The on-air sign flicked off and Cubby pushed down his headset. “Hey Aliesa. Before you go would you mind doing some spots for us?” “Of course not. Never! Am I recording down the hall?” “You know it! Paula will lead you down there. Thanks for coming by again. Say hello to JC and the rest of the guys for me will you?” Aliesa smiled. She seemed to be doing that a lot lately. Smiling. Giving Cubby a quick hug, she got up from her seat and was soon out the door. Walking briskly down the hallway she almost didn’t catch the greeting directed at her. But she heard it and she stopped. She wouldn’t have been able to ignore it. The voice was all too familiar and so was the face. Brown eyes met blue ones. “Christian?” Chapter
