“We gotta stop doing this in public.” He paused, running his hand through his hair. “I may have to tell her,” he said and I closed my eyes, not wanting to talk to him about her after that amazing kiss. I leaned around him, grabbing my water and purse, but he was faster. He grabbed my arm to stop me. “Don’t be like that. If anything else happens, I have to tell her, Resa.”
“Believe me Nick, I know.” I shrugged out of his grasp, and turned to walk away, but stopping. “Personally, I think you’re confused.”
“Me, confused? I’m not the one kissing one man and going on a date with another, am I?” Nick asked, clearly upset over the date with AJ.
“No, you’re just the one kissing one female yet screwing another. It’s obvious there’s still something between us, that something’s there…”
“There’s n

He kept his head down, his glasses and hat hiding just who he was, but at that point in time, it would be a welcome distraction from what was raging through his mind. He sighed, more lost and confused than he had ever felt before. And he had no one to turn to, for all would tell him the same thing, and being honest with himself, he just didn’t want to hear that. He knew he could never really offer marriage to Terri, no matter how much he talked about it with her. But there were lots of reasons behind that. After the disaster of his first one, he wouldn’t want to do that all over again. Although, Terri probably wouldn’t stay around as a girlfriend for the rest of his life. That gave him a moment’s pause, and he stopped. The rest of his life? That could be quite a while. He sighed once more before he went on walking. And of course, on the other side, you had Theresa. He couldn’t deny he loved her, he couldn’t deny she wouldn’t be part of his life, for she would forever be.

He rested his head against the door, once more telling himself that this was the right thing, that he was making the right decision. He hated to admit that even though he felt he was making the right choice, it cut him to see AJ’s arm around her waist. He sighed, sliding his key into the reader, opening the door quietly, figuring Terri was probably lying down. Although, he stopped as he walked through the doors, seeing the candles, hearing the music. He smirked as he walked further into the room. “My, my, my, just what do we have here?” he asked. His eyes raked over her body, enjoying the thin, black material that left very little to his imagination. Not that he didn’t recall every part of her body. Terri’s lips lifted into a pout, making him…well, actually turning him off. How the hell was that possible? “I was hoping you’d be back earlier. I had a nice evening planned, with no kids, no ex’s, no one but me,” she walked over to him, her body pressing against his, her scent m

I stopped at the door, glancing back at AJ who held Tamara, both kids fast asleep. I smiled and finally managed to open the door, motioning for AJ to follow me to their room. He gently set her down, brushing a kiss over her forehead. I smiled once more and laid Thomas down. AJ walked over and gave the little boy a kiss, just like he did for his sister. “You’re too sweet on them,” I told him, my heart bursting at seeing him in such a role. He chuckled as he shut the door behind us. “They’re adorable kids. Although, they act like Nick way too much,” he quietly mumbled. At that, I had to laugh, for everyone said that, and I had to agree. “Do you want anything?” “No, thank you, Resa. Sit down though, and talk to me. Something is up in that mind of yours.” I sat down on the opposite end of the couch. “There’s not much going on,” I told AJ, turning to look at him. AJ raised an eyebrow and I had to chuckle. I could never keep anything from this man. “I’ve kissed Nick, again,

He sighed as he watched the retreating back, flinching as he heard the slamming of the door. He could see the anger burning in her eyes but he could also see the hurt. He shook his head as he entered his room, hearing her voice from the shower. He was half tempted to go talk to her, but instead, plopped down on the couch, throwing his arm over his eyes and trying to stop the pounding in his head. His jaw hurt, too, from the clinching he had done when he saw AJ walk out of the room. And yet, did he have a right to be pissed? So, she chose to get together with AJ, why the hell was that bothering him? Was it because it was AJ? Or was it simply because it was a man period? Yeah, real fair. He was allowed to have someone and be…sorta happy, but she wasn’t? He shook his head again, not understanding what the hell was going on with him. Maybe he needed to get away from her, maybe that would get his mind off of her. Although, he would come back to the tour and be facing her again.

All eyes shot to him and inside, I wanted to die. “Tamara, leave daddy alone,” I told her, shaking my head to tell her to leave it alone. “But mommy, it looks bad. Does it hurt daddy?” “Tamara!” I nearly shouted. “No, Tamara, it doesn’t. Daddy was stupid and careless, and pinched himself this morning.” I played with the spoon, not even hungry for that shake anymore. I felt LeighAnne’s eyes on me, but I couldn’t meet her questioning gaze. Better yet, I didn’t want to meet that gaze, or anyone else’s for that matter. “Oh. Does Terri do that too, because I’ve seen that on her?” Tamara asked all innocence in her voice. I chocked on my shake, reaching for the glass of water, trying to help the ice cream down. “You okay mommy?” “Yeah, baby, wrong pipe. Look, eat up, okay? Auntie LeighAnne bought that, so I don’t want to see it go to waist.” She nodded her head, knowing that anymore questions were just going to have to wait. ~*~*~* I leaned against the back of the couch, w

I watched the display for only a moment, before I closed my eyes, more than sick to my stomach. Not so much over her, but over the fact that he allowed it. This wasn’t my Nick. And it wasn’t that he hated a public display, that wasn’t it, he just hated to get used, and that’s what she was doing. I felt the arms around my legs and opened my eyes, glancing down at my kids. “Let’s go,” I whispered to the kids, not even uttering a good bye or a wave, to ashamed and hurt to really care. They nodded as they held onto my hands and left. Once in my room, I ushered them off to bed, having them quickly brush their teeth and climb in to bed. I sighed as I sat down on the couch, not actually tired, more just emotionally drained. I closed my eyes, groaning as my phone beeped. “Boss lady?” I heard coming over the phone from one of my man. “What’s up?” “I’m having some issues, think you can come over?” My eyes stared at the phone’s time, reading it to be 11:07. “10-4. I’ll be down shor

I walked into the lobby, my gaze turning towards the bar and seeing AJ in a booth. I frowned and made my way over. “What some company, sexy?” I asked, crossing my arms. His eyes turned from the window and he smiled, scooting over so I could sit next to him. “You’re up late,” he told me. “Got a phone call that I needed to head over to the arena, something was amiss.” “It’s late, Theresa. I don’t like you being out this late.” At that, I laughed. “AJ, security detail, I know what I do.” “Very true. Ex wife of Nick, fans know this,” he retorted back and I shook my head. “Oh, right. I could get mobbed.” AJ only rolled his eyes at that. “Did you forget I was the most beloved wife?” I asked him. “Amongst the most hated, because you were with Nick.” “Yeah, whatever. What has you down here so late, without your bodyguard?” I questioned, doing a quick to look to make sure I hadn’t missed him. “He’s around. I couldn’t sleep, so I came down here for a smoke and to soak in t

I stood up, placing my hand in his, my eyes searching his again. He pulled slightly, bringing my body fully against his, his hands running down my arms to settle along my waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck, my fingers entangling in his hair as he once more captured my lips. He wrapped his arms around my waist, holding me as tight as he could as our kiss deepened, our bodies straining to touch each other. His hands fisted in my shirt, slowly pulling it up, his fingers brushing along my back as he completely took it off. His arms once more captured my waist and lifted me up, my legs wrapping around him as he carried me back to the bedroom, his eyes holding mine.“You have no idea how long I’ve been denying that I wanted you. No idea how long I’ve been fighting to stay away from you.” Such music to my ears, and yet, deep inside, it still broke my heart for he had to stay away because of her. Mentally,

Terri watched the retreating back and then looked at Nick, her gaze finally landing somewhere and nearly flipped.“What the hell has him up?”“What?” Terri stepped closer and made it a point of glancing down at his awaken package. “It’s nothing.”“Bull shit it’s nothing. Is that over Resa?”“No.”“Yes it is Nick. Are you playing me now? Is that it?”“Terri, give it a rest, I’m not. What would I have to gain by playing you? Why would I do it? If I wanted Resa, don’t you think I would have dumped you along time ago to get back with her?” Nick asked, crossing his arms, his brows lifted, silently daring her to challenge him. Finally, she saw the truth in his words and rested her hands on his hips.“I’m sorry Nick. I shouldn’t be thinking about things like that. You’re right. You wouldn’t have cheated on her if you still loved her. Or even wanted her.” She stood up on her toes to give him a kiss, hoping he would deepen it. And deep within himself, he knew he should, that he

Nick turned as he heard the scream, his eyes opening wide, trying so hard not to laugh as he watched both of us slide on the grass and then finally land in the puddle. He glanced at Brian who watched as well, and then both of them finally crack up and rush over to us, trying to help us up.“Nicky, this is your fault!” Terri wailed as she tried to grab onto his arm.“How is it my fault? I told you to be careful!”“If we left earlier, we would have missed the rain!” She finally got her legs steady and rose up, the mud covering at least her lower part, and in that regard, she was lucky. But not me. Nope, I took a straight nose dive in and was covered head to toe.“Look, it doesn’t matter. We have got to get back to the hotel and into dry clothes! They can’t get sick and I don’t want the kids to either.” I started wiping the mud off as best as I could, feeling the daggers that she sent at my back.“I don’t like this being on me. Nick, help me wipe it off.”“I don’t have anything

“Nick! How long have you been behind me?”“Not very long.” He smiled at her and then walked into the living room area, lying about what he told her. He had heard every damn word and he was going to make sure everyone knew just how low Terri was. “Why? Did something happen?” He tried to look concerned, but that act was getting hard to play.“Oh, no, nothing. Was just asking, that’s all.”“Oh, okay than.” He sat his bag down then went into the bedroom.“Uh, Nick, what are you doing?” Terri followed him, her brows crinkled as she watched him start to change.“Tamara and Thomas wanted a daddy day, so I’m heading to the park to play some ball with them.”“Is Resa going?” Nick pulled his shirt on and gave her a pointed look.“Resa, is by rights, my bodyguard. So, yes, Resa is going.” Terri chewed on her lower lip.“Can I go?” That made him pause. He was kinda hoping of spending the day with his family, or at least before the show. But then again, his ass would be on the line i

“Nick and I are going to dinner. A romantic little place when we get to New York. I guess you can see the city and how gorgeous it is. He bought me this elegant evening dress. Plus this ruby studded broach!” I rolled my eyes at Kris who was sitting across from me. Why I thought it was a good idea to come down to breakfast this morning was really beyond me. Every female was here and Terri just had to sit with us and was currently telling Leigh about her big plans. Kinda sad that I knew what they were for I had helped him arrange the whole damn thing.“When are you going Terri?” Kris asked, glancing down the table at her.“Oh, in a few days, when they get a break in their touring. It’s the only day he has off,” Terri gushed out.“Wow. You’re taking time away from his kids?” I kicked Kris under the table, not needing Terri to be ticked off yet. Not that the mention of the kids would do anything. And the fact that she was cold hearted enough to want to ruin a day with Nick an

“Terri?” Nick stepped out on the balcony, looking for her.“Yeah?” He turned around and saw her sun tanning, mentally thinking she needed it.“Hey sweetie.” He leaned down and gave her a soft kiss, sitting down on the edge of her chair.“Oh, it’s sweetie now?”“It’s always been. Why would you think other wise?”“I talked to Julie.”“And? You’re gonna believe everything she tells you?”“When it’s about you and you’re little cozy family, than yes! I thought you loved me but you’re off pleasing HER!”“Terri, HER is my ex wife, the mother of my children! I can’t just say screw you in front of the kids! Geez.” He stood up, running his hands through his hair. “You know, I came out here to make peace with you, to try and s

Terri stomped her foot as she slammed her phone shut, the talk with Julie upsetting her greatly. She knew that Nick was really out of her realm, so what the hell was keeping him here? With her? When he so badly wanted to be with his ex wife? Terri was not a fool, she saw the band that was on his hand again. Damn it! She knew she should have pawned it when she had the damn chance. She ground her teeth as she started pacing the room, her plans starting to unwind.“Not yet! He can’t go. I refuse to let him go. I just have…got to speed up my plans.” She did a quick turn around and flew to her room, looking at the pills. “If Nick wants to leave, fine. But I will be damn sure that I am taking him for everything he has. He will be stuck with me for the rest of his life.” She read the instructions than grabbed the laptop, logging onto the net. &ld

I paused, slowly swallowing, wishing I could make the simple connection between that woman and Terri. Yet, to my knowledge, no one had a clue. I cleared my throat and then placed a hand on each twin’s arm, looking at Nick.“We better go. I’m not getting them involved in this.” That snapped Julie back to attention and her eyes narrowed.“Does Terri know about this little outing?”“You know what Julie, not everything that I do has to be cleared by her, no matter what you, OR SHE, might think. Sorry. I have a life of my own and kids to take care of. Now, excuse me, I got to pay for these.” He held up the two outfits and we blew past her, her jaw dropping. Gosh, if it wasn’t Terri ruining a perfectly good and fun day, than it was her little goons or friends. I rolled my eyes as I followed Nick and the kids, stepping off to the side when he took out

“What are you doing?” Kris sat down next to Howie and glanced at his lap top screen.“I’m looking through a virtual yearbook from my high school days. When you click on the names, it gives you the info to some people, whatever they want posted.”“Hey, that’s a cool idea.”“There were a lot of people that I lost contact with that I would love to get to know again.”“You mean, so they could freak out that they know a Backstreet Boy?”“Aren’t you funny?” Howie rolled his yes at her but grinned. “We do have friends outside of the group.”“Oh, I know that. I met a couple of AJ’s the other night.” AJ lifted his head up from the hand he was holding and looked up.“Oh, Bob and Susie. She’s about ready to pop too.

“But you have always said that you liked when woman wear your clothes. You said you found it sexy. And being that I felt so bad, it was comforting to be in your clothes.”“First of all, not every piece of clothing that’s mine on a woman is sexy. Second of all, I really don’t need you getting your sick germs all over the clothes that I wear. I can’t afford to be getting sick, thank you.” Nick stormed into the room, quickly followed by Terri.“Wait just a damn minute. You leave me when I need you and than I can’t wear your clothes.”“Uh, hello, I have a job to do! It’s not like I can sit here and cater to your every need right now.” She tilted her head and than strolled over to him, running her hands up his stomach and his chest.“You know, they say that sex can help get rid of colds.”“Not happening tonight.
