“Why do you say that, Aunt Kris?”
“Because you are,” AJ said, walking in.
“Uncle AJ!” Tamara climbed off the couch and flew into his arms, quickly followed by Rena.
“I think you have two rather huge fans there.” AJ smiled at each girl as he set them down.
“Tamara and Thomas got close to me because I was actually visiting Theresa a lot. She had us concerned.”
“Was that the only reason?” Kris’s eyes opened wide and her hand flew to her mouth. “I’m sorry. That’s none of my business.” AJ had to smile before taking the seat next to her.
“No, don’t worry, it’s okay. We all knew what Nick was doing, so we wer

He sat down, running his fingers through his hair, his mind racing. His eyes closed; hearing nothing but echoes of voices from the night before. Brian screaming at him that he was an utter fool, Kevin yelling that he was stupid, and Howie, Howie topped it all off with the fact that he, Nick, was even more stupid than D thought. Howie proclaimed that Theresa loved him, but now, with these stupid past stunts and comments, he’d be lucky if Theresa even thought of taking him back. And actually, Nick knew that was true. He never wanted anyone to find out about his own stupidity, but, he would be a fool if he thought they wouldn’t figure it out. He was even more surprised no one else punched him. But, than they figured out that’s what AJ had done and why keep adding salt to the wound, even if it was needed? And than Terri! Terri was beyond furious and stomped out, and yet last night, he made no damn move to follow her, wasn

He quickly jumped up from the couch, making his way over to the door, surprised to find Brian standing there. Nick swallowed a couple of times, patiently waiting to hear what this man said. Not like he didn’t get all off his chest last night.“Man, I’m sorry.” Nick froze in his tracks, more than surprised.“Why? What you spoke was the truth.”“Yes, but it’s your life, not mine.”“But you’re our friend. I can’t take back what happened. I was stupid, I wanted to push her away and that was the only way I thought possible.”“You achieved that.”“I did, and I’m starting to regret it.” But before Brian could ask and Nick could comment, Baylee flew into the room.“Okay, okay, can we please do it now?” Nick looked from Baylee to Brian, an eyebrow shooting up in a silent questio

“I, uh, I…” I glanced from Kris to AJ, shoving the bag in my pocket, than shrugged my shoulders. “I was looking for something. Thought I gave it to Alex.”“You have a key to my room?”“I have a key to every room. It’s mandatory that I do.”“What did you give me Resa? I don’t remember holding anything for you?” I licked my lips, trying to smile, than became thankful as I heard the scream come from outside. I paused, than hurried to Nick’s room, sliding the card and quickly entering.“What was that?” I heard the growl, turning around to see Terri standing behind me, soaking wet.“Who did it? Which one of your pains in my ass did it?”“Terri…”“Shut up, Theresa. I don’t want to hear you, hell, I don’t want to see you, so get the hell out of

“What are we doing Leighanne?” She glanced up, smirking. “Oh no, I really hate that look on you. You try to play innocent to every fan, but they honestly don’t know the she devil inside!”“Why, Theresa, what ever do you mean?” I glanced over at her, trying not to laugh as she pulled that southern bell accent. I shook my head, finally giving up. And after I calmed down from the laughing, I looked her straight on.“What were you planning?”“Another movie night. We never got the chance for the other one. We still have one more show tomorrow here, so I figured tonight wouldn’t be bad.” I sighed, closing my eyes and running my fingers through my hair.“Why?” She shrugged, turning to walk back to her hotel room but I grabbed her arm, shaking my head. “No, you really are thinking something. What is it?&

I glanced up at Terri, who was glaring at me, the hatred clearly written in her eyes. I shrugged, turning my attention back to the movie.“Excuse me; get the hell out of my spot.”“Nope, there’s room on the love seat or the floor. But, we’re trying to watch this.” All heads turned to LeighAnne who was staring at Terri.“But Nick’s my boyfriend, not hers!”“He may be, but everyone on this couch is comfy. Can’t you see that?” It took all my strength not to bust out laughing at the rage on Terri’s face. “I believe it’s rude to block the view for other people too!” Terri glared at LeighAnne, than me, before marching her ass to the love seat.“I’m glad you’re feeling better, though, Terri,” I said, smiling all the more as she rolled her eyes before turning to the TV.

I quickly tore away from his embrace, shaking my head. Stunned, yes but for quite a few reasons, like why he did it, like my reaction to it. And, like how badly I wanted to step into those open arms and kiss those tasty lips again. But, I wasn’t supposed to want him! It was just way too long!“Nick, no, not good! Nor is it happening ever again!”“Theresa, I’m sorry, but you were there and you look so damn sexy, just like our first night and…”“STOP! I don’t care! I’m not giving you the chance to use me again or to hurt me than you already have!”“Look, I’m sorry about that. Please…”“No, I don’t want to hear it. Good night Nick.” With that, I tried as hard as I could to make it back to my room on rather shaky legs. And once I did, I collapsed on my bed, willing the tears not

I groaned as I heard the ringing in my ear, knowing that damn ring tone. I flipped my cell phone open, squeezing my eyes shut.“Carter here.”“Someone sounds grumpy.”“What can I do for you George?”“Hey now, do not get that bitchy attitude with me.” I rolled my eyes, my temper on a tight leash. “I’m getting asked by my superiors here what your game plan is.” I gritted my back teeth, biting the inside of my lip to keep my anger in check.“George, you, and your people will get an update and a game plan when I think it’s necessary to give you one. In the mean time, sit on your damn fingers and rotate, because I just don’t give a shit.” With that, I slammed my phone shut, growling. I picked up my gym clothes and quickly changed, grabbing my gym bag on the way out of my room. I checked on the kids, seeing them asleep

LeighAnne tapped her foot as she waited in the chair, listening to Kris rant. She watched the younger woman pace and had to smile.“Kris, Kris, hold up there.” Kris turned and looked at LeighAnne, her arms crossed and her eyebrows raised up in a silent question. “Alex wouldn’t do drugs again. He would lose too much; everyone knows that, even Resa.” LeighAnne held up her hand as Kris opened her mouth to retort. “But someone within our group is. And Resa has to figure out who that is. Does it help you that I found her in Bri’s dressing room?” Kris frowned at that.“Bri is the last likely person I could see doing drugs.”“True. It is her job through to rule everyone out. How about you talk to her?”“Not unless you wanted to kill me first.”“Than how about you play the comforting girlfriend role and

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.
