2024-10-29 19:42:56I wrapped the sheet around me, heard the closing of the door and never felt so used, so dirty, and actually, so ugly. He…he was so passionate, so tender, damn it, it was so right! I could feel it, and I know he could feel it to. So, why the hell run from it? But, I would be damned if I was going to allow that man to keep using me, or any man for that matter! And I lied, I could hate him, I did hate Nick Carter! He could take a flying leap off a short pier and I would be so damn happy. How dare he! Who the hell did he think he was?
I curled up in a ball, my nose catching his scent on the pillow, and the tears fell of their own accord. What an utter fool I had made of myself with him. I wanted to believe what everyone was telling me, and yet, that was the proof. He didn’t love me! So, why the hell was I still in love with him? I heard my phone vibrate and groaned. I sure as he

Nick groaned and threw his hands up in the air, not meaning to utter that, not even knowing if that was 100 percent the truth.“Nick, chill out. Do you love Theresa?”“In all truth, Howie, she was my first love. Do you really ever stop loving your first love?”“No, you don’t. And Terri?”“I love Terri. I know you all hate her, but she really is a great a woman, who cares for me and loves me. She’s smart, funny…”“Please, don’t sing her praises to me. It’s obvious you care for Terri.”“No, Howie, I just don’t care for her, I love her.”“And yet you care for Theresa?”“Theresa will always be part of my life, I know this, I can deal with this. I want to be her friend.” Nick paused, his eyes staring at the ground, really not seeing anything. &ldquo

I watched as they stopped talking, watched at Terri walked back into the building, leaving the guy alone. I frowned, making my way over there, stopping just right behind him.“Excuse me.” He turned a look of shock in his eyes. “Aren’t you Joe?”“Yeah. What’s it to you?”“Theresa, head of security.” He paled, and actually looked rather nervous. He swallowed, his hands digging into his pockets.“Yeah. What can I help you with?”“How do you know Terri?” I asked, nodding my head at the building.“I knew her a long time ago.”“Where you from Joe?” Damn, I needed to change the line of questions.“Born and raised in Florida.”“That’s where you currently live still?”“Yeah. Look, did I do something?”&l

“What the hell were you thinking?”“I thought they would get a kick out of it. And they did, chill out.”“Don’t tell me that shit, Carter! I told you I didn’t want you to do that anymore!”“Terri, it just gets them more hyped up. It means nothing!”“I don’t give a shit what it means or what it doesn’t mean. I don’t want them to see what my boyfriend is like!”“You know, that’s really damn funny to me!”“Why?”“That’s the only reason you told me not to do it? Because you didn’t want MY FANS, OUR FANS, to possibly see what we might just be like? LeighAnne told Brian he needed to be like that, Leigh did the same. Kristen, well, she already told Kevin he had to do that.”“What is your point? I don’t give two shits what those other

“What happened daddy?” I heard the tremor in her voice and felt bad.“I think we lost power baby.” I let my eyes get accustomed before I walked back over to the couch.“Will you stay here will I go downstairs and check with the lobby staff, see if they might have a power generator?”“Yeah.” I grabbed my phone and my key card, making my way towards the door. “Hold up, you need to change.”“Sorry, Mr. Carter, I don’t have to listen.” I knew I was getting that death look, but right now, I just didn’t care. No power, meant no ac in the building, and that was not a good thing on any level. I also knew those kids wouldn’t be able to play, even with a back up generator.“Where’s Nick?”“With his kids.” Terri rolled her eyes as she sat down next to Leigh.“Y

“You bitch! What the hell, are you jealous of an ex-wife? That’s real rich.”“Jealous? Of you? Please! You ain’t got anything on me, and never will. And you only wish you had what I have!”“Why the hell would I want to look and act like you? Skanks and hoes don’t rate very high in my book!” I rubbed the sore spot and glared at her. “And don’t you ever lay a hand on me again, or you’ll regret it.” She only rolled her eyes, her fingers pushing into my arm.“Touching you, what are you gonna do about it?” I flung her arm off, my other hand connecting with her cheek.“I said don’t touch me!” Terri’s eyes registered shock before her hand reached out, yanking on my hair. I growled, one arm trying to throw her hands off of me, but she only tugged harder, pulling my hea

“I’m waiting.” I helped her with her bags, glanced over at the kids and smiled as they all held hands and walked out to the car. And as we piled in, I started the tale.“And there you have it. She slapped me yesterday, with her ring and Nick, well, Nick got pissed.” She grabbed my arm and took the brace off, frowning as the color.“A little pissed?”“Look, it was stupid, and I’m not defending him. Nick is not a physical person. He just got pissed and I’m sure my slapping him around wasn’t healthy.”“No, but leaving marks on your wrist isn’t either.” I glanced over at her.“Me leaving a black eye isn’t either here.” She shook her head but started laughing. “I don’t want to talk about him, or her, right now, please?”“Fine, fine. So, when do I meet AJ?&rd

“I don’t like her.” We stepped off the elevator and started making our way down the hallway.“Now, honestly Kris, you don’t know.”“As if I want to know. Give me a break! She’s bitchy, rude…”“Talking about Terri.” We stopped and turned, seeing a smiling LeighAnne leaning against her doorframe.“LeighAnne, I want you to meet one of my best friends. This is Kris, Kris this is LeighAnne! She’s the only other person I think who really understands me. Well, except AJ, but than again…it’s AJ.” Kris held out her hand.“It’s a pleasure.”“Thank you. Same here. So, ladies, are we having a ladies day?” I glanced over at Kris.“It’s her vacation here. Oh, I’m so sorry. Rena, sweetie, this is LeighAnne, this is Kris’s b

I stood shocked for a moment, as did the other girls, not to mention the kids. That was the last thing I thought would happen, my best friend protecting my honor. I glanced over at AJ and smiled before I rushed over to Nick. I forced his head back and helped him to the bathroom, glancing behind me as AJ left the stage to go outside.“You just had to say something,” he mumbled as I applied the tissue. I smirked as I pushed harder and heard him squeal. “What was that for?”“Don’t be an ass, Carter! I’m sorry, but that stupid ass stunt was wrong and you know it! And if it weren’t for those kids, I would have already beaten the shit out of you.” He frowned as he held the tissue now.“I know. I..it was…” I held up my hand.“I don’t wanna hear it.”“But I…” I glared at him and he s

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. Dang, could you imagine popping out 3 kids at one tim

“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.
