More Than That-New Version Two

Brizee stood backstage watching her best friends onstage.  She has known them for like ever since they got together, but she has known Nick longer than all of them.  She and Nick have been best friends since birth. They have been through everything together. When Nick went on tour, Brizee went with him. They were never apart.  Brian, Kevin, AJ, and Howie think of her as a little sister.  They also thought that Brizee and Nick would make a great couple. But Brizee and Nick told them that it would never work.  She felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned and saw Willa standing there.

        “What the hell are you doing here?” Brizee asked coldly.

        “I came to see Nicky,” Willa said.

        “It’s Nick and he doesn’t want to see you, get out before I get security,” Brizee said.

        “I have a pass given by Nick,” Willa said.  She showed her pass. The guys came backstage.

        “What the hell,” Brian said.

        “Willa, what are you doing here,” Kevin said.

        “I invited her,” Nick said moving around to come over to her.

        “Nick, are you nuts!” AJ said.

        “I just needed to talk to her about something,” Nick said.  Brizee walked off.

        “Nice seeing you, Brizee, hope you find your face,” Willa called after her.  Brizee stopped and came back over to Willa.

        “What did you say,” Brizee said.

        “Nothing,” Willa said.

        “She said nice seeing you, Brizee, hope you find your face,” AJ said glaring at Willa.

        “You bitch, you are the one who needs to find your face, because it is gone, in place of your face is a face of a witch,” Brizee said.  Willa slapped Brizee.  Brizee punched Willa.  Nick grabbed Brizee and carried her to his dressing room and he closed the door and locked it.

        “I swear if I see her again, I will beat her ass!” Brizee said.

        “Why can’t you be nice,” Nick said.

        “Didn’t you hear what she said to me!” Brizee angrily.

        “Yes, I did, I would have handled it, Brizee,” Nick said.

        “Why is she really here, Nickolas!” Brizee said.

        “I was thinking of getting back together with her,” Nick said.

        “WHAT!” Brizee yelled.

        “Briz, please,” Nick said.

        “If you get back together with her, our friendship will be over, I can not stand that bitch and the feeling is mutual,” Brizee said.

        “You don’t mean that,” Nick said.

        “I do, Nick, I do mean it, I hate her, she hates me, I don’t want you to choose, but you have to, you either have me in your life or you have her, but we can’t share you,” Brizee said with tears in her eyes.  Nick pulled her close and hugged her.

        “I couldn’t live without you in my life, you are my best friend,” Nick said.  There was a knock at the door.

        “Better get that,” Brizee said. Nick opened the door and saw Willa.

        “Nick, are we going to talk?” Willa asked.

        “Um, no, I don’t want to talk to you, okay, goodbye, Willa, have a nice life,” Nick said as he shut the door.  He pulled Brizee close and hugged her tight. 

Chapter 2

Three months went by. Brizee and Nick were growing closer every day. The guys have been trying to get them together but nothing works. Brizee was lying by the pool of her house in her bikini. She turned her stereo on.

Nick walked into Brizee’s house. He looked around and heard music out back.  He walked out and saw her laying on a lounge chair.

        “Hey girl,” Nick said.

        “Hey Nickers, what’s up,” Brizee said.

        “Whatcha doing?” Nick said sitting down beside her on the lounge chair.

        “Just laying here, relaxing,” Brizee said.

        “Mind if I go for a swim?” Nick asked.

        “Nick, you know you can,” Brizee said.

        “Okay,” Nick said. He pulled off his shirt.

        “I hope you have your trunks on,” Brizee said.

        “I was thinking of swimming naked,” Nick said.

        “Nick!” Brizee said blushing.

        “Are you blushing?” Nick asked.

        “No,” Brizee said blushing.

        “Yes, you are blushing, you want to see me naked,” Nick said.

        “Nick, god, we bathed together when we were young, we have seen each other naked,” Brizee said.

        “That was 19 years ago, Briz,” Nick said.

        “So,” Brizee said.

        “We have grown up since then,” Nick said.

        “I know,” Brizee said.

        “I’ll go find my trunks, I know I have some here,” Nick said. He went into the house.  Brizee sat there.

        “What’s wrong with me,” Brizee whispered to herself.  Nick went upstairs.

        “Damn, she looks sexy, what am I saying, she’s my best friend, god, she’s hot though, damn, stop thinking like that,” Nick said to himself. He changed into his trunks and took a deep breath.  He went downstairs and walked out and saw Brizee laying on her stomach. The back of her bikini top was untied.

        “Want some lotion?” Nick asked.

        “Sure,” Brizee said.  He got some lotion and sat down and started rubbing some on her back.

        “Briz, you are so tense,” Nick said as he rubbed the lotion on her back.

        “I know,” Brizee said.  Nick tied her bikini strings together and pulled her up into a sitting position and started giving her a shoulder massage.

        “How does that feel?” Nick asked.

        “Feels great,” Brizee said smiling.

        “Good,” Nick said as he continued to massage her shoulders.  She let out a soft moan.  Nick smiled.

        “Your mother called this morning with her usual line, why can’t you and Nick get together,” Brizee said.

        “We can say we are when we aren’t, so they will leave us alone,” Nick said.

        “They know us too well, Nick, they would know we would be lying,” Brizee said.

        “They do know us well, don’t they,” Nick said.

        “Yes, they do,” Brizee said.  Nick laid her down on her stomach and untied her bikini top and started massaging her back.

        “You know if you weren’t a Backstreet Boy, you could have done this professionally,” Brizee said.

        “I could, huh,” Nick said.

        “Oh yeah, you are good at this,” Brizee said.

        “That’s not the only thing,” Nick said.

        “What,” Brizee said.

        “Nothing,” Nick said.

        “What, Nick,” Brizee said. He mumbled something.

        “Nickolas,” Brizee said.

        “I’m good at being a friend,” Nick said.

        “That you are,” Brizee said.  Nick smiled.  He continued rubbing her back.

        “Feel better?” Nick asked.

        “Yes, thanks,” Brizee said as Nick tied her bikini top. She sat up and hugged him.  He hugged her tight and felt something stirring inside him.

Chapter 3

Nick pulled back and looked at her. She looked at him.  He leaned towards her and she felt his lips on hers.  She knew she wanted this to happen. The kiss deepened.  She laid back on the lounge chair and he laid on top of her and they kissed deeply.  He pulled back and looked at her.

        “Briz, do you want me to stop?” Nick asked.

        “No,” Brizee said pulling him back down. They kissed again. She wrapped her arms around him.

        “Be my girl, Briz, please,” Nick said.

        “Yes,” Brizee said. They began making out.  He kissed her neck. 

        “I need you, Briz,” Nick said huskily.

        “Nick, we’re moving too fast,” Brizee said.  He pulled back and looked at her.

        “Promise me you won’t leave me,” Nick said.

        “I promise, I couldn’t leave you,” Brizee said. 

        “Can we make out?” Nick asked.

        “Yes, we can do that,” Brizee said.  He smiled and kissed her again.  They heard someone clear their throat.  Nick looked up and saw Brizee’s mother standing there.

        “Mom, hi,” Brizee said.

        “What’s going on here,” Laura said.  Nick got up.

        “Um, well, Nick and I are a couple now,” Brizee said sitting up.

        “I see,” Laura said.

        “Mom, what’s the deal,” Brizee said.

        “I don’t think you two should be together,” Laura said. Brizee looked at her mother.

        “WHAT!” Brizee shrieked.

        “Nick, I need to talk to my daughter alone,” Laura said.

        “I’ll see you later,” Nick said kissing Brizee’s forehead and leaves.

        “Mom!” Brizee said.

        “Brizee, I don’t want you to get hurt,” Laura said.

        “Mom, I’m 22 years old, I’m not a child anymore,” Brizee said.

        “Honey, Nick’s a Backstreet Boy, he has girls throwing themselves at him, he could leave you for them,” Laura said.

        “Mom, I have known Nick since we were babies, so have you! Why are you trying to ruin my life!” Brizee said.

        “Brizee, I’m trying to protect you, I don’t want you get hurt,” Laura said.

        “I already am hurting, Mother, because of you, you can’t get past the fact that I’m old enough to make my own choices!” Brizee said.

        “Brizee, please,” Laura said.

        “Mom, I have been in love with Nick since he and I were 18, I finally have him and you want us to be apart, I can’t believe you!” Brizee said.

        “Brizee, you’ll get hurt,” Laura said.

        “Mom, not once since I have known Nick, he has not hurt me, what makes you think he’ll start now!” Brizee said.

        “Because he’s going to be in a relationship and won’t be able to date anyone else,” Laura said.

        “He wants to be with me, Mom, he wants ME!” Brizee said. 

        “He wants you for sex, that’s what,” Laura said.

        “No, he doesn’t, Mom, I know him, he wouldn’t do that to me!” Brizee said.

        “Whatever, if he hurts you, don’t come running to me,” Laura said.  She left.  Brizee sat down and stared at the pool.  Brizee knew her mother was wrong. Brizee knew Nick better than anyone.  He wasn’t that type of guy.  She went inside and changed into some shorts and a shirt and laid on the couch and watched TV. 

Meanwhile…….at Brian’s house

Nick walked in and saw Brian and his girlfriend, Brittany on the couch.

        “Hey man, what’s up,” Brian said. 

        “Well, you guys were right, me and Briz do belong together,” Nick said.

        “What, you two got together?” Brian asked.

        “Yup,” Nick said.

        “That’s great!” Brittany said.

        “About time,” Brian said.

        “Yeah, I know, I have been in love with her since we were both 18,” Nick said.

        “Well, we’re glad you two got together,” Brian said.

        “Thanks man,” Nick said.

        “Something’s wrong,” Brian said.

        “I don’t know about Laura, she didn’t seem happy that Briz and I were together,” Nick said.

        “She’ll have to get over it, you and Briz were made for each other,” Brian said.

        “I know, I know me and Briz just got together but I can’t lose her,” Nick said.  Brian and Brittany smiled. They talked for awhile.

Chapter 4

Nick went back over to Brizee’s house and found her on the couch.

        “Hey,” Nick said.

        “Hey,” Brizee said.

        “What happened with your mother?” Nick asked.

        “She doesn’t want us to be together because she thinks I’ll get hurt,” Brizee said.

        “You won’t get hurt, I promise,” Nick said.

        “What about the fans that throw themselves at you,” Brizee said.

        “They can do that all they want but I want to be with you,” Nick said.

        “I don’t want to get hurt, Nicky,” Brizee said.

        “You won’t, I promise,” Nick said. She smiled and pulled him down and kissed his lips softly.  The kiss deepened and he laid on top of her and kissed her deeply.

Three months went by. Brizee and Nick were closer than ever.  Nick and Brizee told everyone that they were now a couple. Everyone was happy for them. Brizee never talked to her mother since that day.  Now she was on tour with the guys. She sat in her and Nick’s suite.  Nick was at the venue practicing for the show.  There was a knock at the door.  Brizee got up and opened the door and saw Kevin’s wife, Theresa, standing there. She smiled.

        “Hey girl!” Brizee said.

        “Hey, can I come in,” Theresa said.

        “Sure,” Brizee said.  Theresa came in and closed the door. Theresa sat down. Brizee sat down.

        “I have to tell you something,” Theresa said.

        “What’s up,” Brizee said.

        “I have feelings for Nick,” Theresa said.

        “What,” Brizee said.

        “You heard me, Briz, I didn’t mean for it to happen, it just did, I love Kevin with all my heart, but I can’t deny how I feel about Nick, I don’t want to hurt you or Kevin, you are like a sister to me, Briz,” Theresa said.

        “Does Nick know?” Brizee said.

        “No, he doesn’t,” Theresa said.

        “Yes, I do,” Nick said from behind them.

        “Nick, how much did you hear?” Theresa said.

        “Everything,” Nick said.  Brizee got up.

        “Nick, I’m sorry, I wasn’t meaning to feel this way,” Theresa said.  Nick looked at Brizee.

        “I’m sorry, too,” Nick said.

        “What for,” Theresa said.

        “I have feelings for you, too,” Nick said.

        “Oh god,” Theresa said.  Brizee sat down and stared at the floor.

        “Can we talk later,” Nick said.

        “Sure,” Theresa said.  She left. Nick went over and knelt down in front of Brizee.

        “Briz,” Nick said.

        “Is it over between us,” Brizee asked crying.

        “No, it’s not over between us, I don’t want it to be over, look, T and I will talk about these feelings, but I promise you that I will come back to you,” Nick said. 

        “I love you, Nicky,” Brizee said crying.

        “Shhh, baby, I love you, too,” Nick said.  He sat beside her and kissed her lips softly. 

That night, Theresa told Kevin about her feelings for Nick.  Kevin and Brizee walked away letting Nick and Theresa talk about their feelings for each other.

        “Kev, what if they want to be together, I can’t let him go, I love him too much,” Brizee said.

        “I can’t let her go, either, I love her so much,” Kevin said.  They watched as Nick and Theresa hugged.  They walked over to them.

        “I love you and only you, Kev,” Theresa said hugging him.  Nick pulled Brizee close.

        “Come on, baby,” Nick said pulling her up to their room.  Once their suite door was closed, Nick kissed her tenderly. Brizee wrapped her arms around his neck.

        “Well, I guess I get to keep you,” Brizee said.

        “Baby, you get to have me forever,” Nick said.

        “Good, because I can’t live without you,” Brizee said.

        “Well, I can’t live without you, you are the only one for me,” Nick said.

        “Good, because you are the only one for me,” Brizee said smiling.  He smiled and kissed her deeply.  They laid on the bed and kissed deeply.  They fell asleep in each other’s arms.

Chapter 5

The next day, Brizee was sitting in the front row at the venue watching the guys practice. Theresa and Brittany sat down.

        “Hi Briz,” Theresa said.

        “Hey,” Brizee said.

        “You and Nick okay?” Theresa asked.

        “Yeah, we’re fine,” Brizee said.

        “Briz, I’m sorry,” Theresa said.

        “T, it’s okay, I know Nick loves me and isn’t going to leave me, it’s okay,” Brizee said.  Theresa looked up at Kevin.  She smiled at him. He winked at her and went on. Nick knelt down in front of Brizee.

        “Hey baby,” Nick said. Brizee smiled up at him.

        “Hey yourself,” Brizee said.

        “Come on,” Nick said. Brizee followed him backstage and to his dressing room. He closed the door and she sat down. He sat down beside her.

        “What’s up,” Brizee said.

        “I love you, you know that,” Nick said.

        “I know, I love you, too,” Brizee said.

        “There is something I need to tell you,” Nick said.

        “What is it,” Brizee said.

        “God this is hard, I love you so much and I never meant to hurt you,” Nick said.

        “Nick, what is it,” Brizee said.

        “After you went to sleep, Theresa and I met somewhere and we slept together,” Nick said. 

        “What, how could you!” Brizee cried.

        “Briz, I’m sorry, it was only one time and it won’t happen again,” Nick said.

        “You promised me, Nick, you promised me you wouldn’t hurt me and you did!” Brizee yelled.

        “Briz, please, I’m sorry, I will never hurt you again,” Nick said.

        “That’s right, Nick, you will never hurt me again, you won’t get the chance to, we are so over!” Brizee yelled. She ran out and ran out of the venue.

Nick sat there staring at the door. He buried his face in his hands and cried.

        “Nick,” Theresa said.

        “I told her,” Nick said.

        “Oh god,” Theresa said.

        “I love her so much, T, it’s over, I lost her,” Nick said crying.  Kevin came in.

        “What’s going on,” Kevin said. Theresa told him everything.

        “Kev, you are the only one for me, I love you, I want to be with you forever,” Theresa said.

        “No more, okay, if you sleep with anyone else, it will be over,” Kevin said.

        “Never, I love you,” Theresa said hugging him. Kevin held her close.  Kevin saw Nick lay down on the couch and curl up and cry.  Theresa looked at Nick.

        “Go to him, Kev,” Theresa said.  Kevin sat down and hugged his little “bro”.

        “I lost her, Kev, I messed up,” Nick said.

        “You hurt her, Nick, I’m not mad at you,” Kevin said.

They all went back to the hotel.  Nick walked into his and Brizee’s room and saw her stuff gone. He sat down and rested his head on the back of the couch and stared at the ceiling.  His cell phone rang.

        “Hello,” Nick said.

        “Hi honey,” Jane said.

        “Hi Mom,” Nick said.

        “Nick, honey, what’s wrong,” Jane said.

        “I messed up, Mom,” Nick said.

        “Honey, talk,” Jane said. Nick told her everything.

        “Mom, I love Briz more than anything in the world, I never meant to hurt her, Theresa and I are just friends,” Nick said.

        “Honey, I will talk to Brizee when she comes home, I’ll find her and talk to her, okay, I’m not letting you two be apart, you two meant a lot to each other,” Jane said. Nick smiled a little.

        “I love you, Mama,” Nick said.

        “I love you, too, Nicky, don’t worry, I’ll get her to go back to you,” Jane said.

        “Okay, you are the best, Mom, what would I do without you,” Nick said.

        “You would go nuts, I know you too well, honey, you want Briz and no one else, don’t worry, I’ll let you go, you rest, okay,” Jane said.

        “Okay, love you, Mom,” Nick said.

        “Love you, too, honey, bye,” Jane said.

        “Bye,” Nick said. He hung up the phone and sat back. He thought about everything. 

Chapter 6

Nick arrived at the venue that night. Brian and AJ came over to him.

        “Nick, man, Kevin told us everything, we’re sorry,” Brian said.

        “I love her so much, man, now she’s gone, I don’t think she’s coming back,” Nick said.

        “Nick, want me to talk to her,” AJ said.

        “No, my mother will, Mom called and I told her everything, she’s going to talk to Briz,” Nick said.

        “If anyone can talk to Briz, Jane can,” Brian said.

        “She’ll be back before you know it,” AJ said.

        “I hope so, I love Briz so much, I’m lost without her,” Nick said.

        “Man, we know, hopefully your mother will get through to her,” Brian said. Nick went on to his dressing room.  Brian’s cell phone rang.

        “Hello,” Brian said.

        “Brian, it’s Jane, I talked to Brizee, she’s on her way back,” Jane said.

        “Thank god, Nick’s really depressed,” Brian said.

        “She wants him and knows he loves her, she was just upset, but she’s okay now, she wants to surprise him,” Jane said.

        “Okay, I’ll keep an eye out for her and I’ll tell the bodyguards,” Brian said.

        “Okay, bye Brian,” Jane said.

        “Bye Jane,” Brian said. He hung up and went to get ready.  The guys went on and performed.  After the show, the guys went to shower. 

Brizee arrived at the venue and ran into Billy.  He saw her and smiled.

        “Hi Briz,” Billy said.

        “Hi, can I go back?” Brizee asked.

        “Sure, they are in the showers right now,” Billy said.

Brizee went backstage and heard the guys in the shower. She went to Nick’s dressing room and saw it a mess. She shook her head and cleaned it up.  She sat down and waited. The door opened and Nick came in only dressed in a towel around his waist.  He saw her and closed the door.  She stood up. 

        “Briz, are we ok?” Nick asked.

        “Yeah, we are, your mother talked to me, she made me realize that my life would be empty without you,” Brizee said.  She hugged him.  The towel dropped from his waist. Nick tried to get it.

        “Um, Briz, my towel,” Nick said.  Brizee smiled and bent down and got his towel and looked over his body.

        “Very nice,” Brizee said looking at his body.

        “Briz,” Nick said softly.  Brizee knelt down in front of him. She looked up at him and smiled.

        “What do you want, Nicky?” Brizee asked.

        “I want you,” Nick said.  Brizee smiled and kissed the tip of his length.  She took him into her mouth.  She sucked, caressed, and bit his length.

        “Oh god, baby,” Nick moaned. He closed his eyes and let it go.  He emptied himself into her mouth.  She swallowed every drop and let go of him and stood up. He kissed her hungrily.  He tasted himself as his tongue roamed her mouth.  He moved over and locked the door.  He came back and picked her up and carried her over to the couch and laid her down and laid on top of her.

        “I need to be inside you,” Nick said kissing her neck.

        “Make love to me,” Brizee moaned.  He pulled her clothes off and laid between her legs and pushed inside her.  He moved slow and gently. She wrapped her legs around his waist and pushed him deeper into her.

        “Oh baby, you feel so good,” Nick said as he kissed her chest. 

        “Oh god, Nick, more, I need more,” Brizee said.  He moved and went deeper and harder.  He felt her closing around him.

        “Come on, baby, come for me,” Nick said. He kissed her as she cried out.  Her cries were muffled by his kiss. He came right behind her and spilled himself deep inside her. He laid on top of her and buried his face in her neck. She wrapped her arms around him and held him close. 

        “I love you so much,” Brizee said.

        “I love you, too, baby, so much,” Nick said.

There was a knock at the door.  Nick got up and got dressed and went to the door.  Brizee got dressed.  Nick opened the door and saw Kevin.

        “Hey Kev,” Nick said.

        “Time to go, Nick,” Kevin said. Kevin saw Brizee and smiled.

        “Hi Briz, glad your back, you can keep him in line, now,” Kevin said.

        “Oh, I plan to,” Brizee said smiling at Nick.  They walked out to the bus and headed to the next city.

Chapter 7

The tour arrived at the next city. Brizee walked up to the front of the bus. Nick came up and wrapped his arms around her.

        “I love you, baby,” Nick said.

        “I love you, too,” Brizee said.  He pressed a kiss on her neck. He held her close.

        “I want you so bad,” Nick said kissing her neck.

        “Just wait, Nick, we will be at the hotel soon,” Brizee said smiling up at him.

        “Good, because I want to be inside you,” Nick whispered in her ear. 

        “I want to taste you,” Brizee whispered.  The bus pulled up in front of the hotel.

        “We’re here,” Nick said.

        “Good,” Brizee said.  They got their bags and got off and went inside. The guys came in.

        “Okay, Nick, Brian, AJ, Howie, we have to get to the venue,” Kevin said. 

        “Oh man,” Nick said.

        “Sorry, Nick, we have to,” Kevin said.  Nick kisses Brizee softly and leaves with the guys.  Brizee gets the key to her and Nick’s room and goes up to their suite.  She goes in and closes the door and sits down and sighs.  She lays down and falls asleep. 

Nick and the guys arrive back at the hotel. Nick finds his room and opens it. He walks in and sees Brizee asleep. He goes over and kneels down beside her. 

        “Briz, baby,” Nick said softly.  Brizee slowly opens her eyes and smiles.

        “Hey,” Brizee said.

        “Wanna make a little love?” Nick asked.  Brizee sat up and ran her hands down his chest.

        “I want you, Nick,” Brizee said.  He took her into his arms and they kissed deeply as they pulled each other’s clothes off and there on the floor of the suite, they made love. Afterwards, they laid there holding each other.  Nick kissed her forehead.

        “I love you, so much,” Nick said.

        “I love you, too,” Brizee said. They got up and got dressed and cuddled on the couch.  There was a knock at the door. Nick got up and opened the door and saw Theresa standing there.  She came in and Nick closed the door.

        “Theresa, what’s wrong,” Brizee said.

        “Kevin let me go, it’s over,” Theresa said.

        “Why,” Nick said.

        “Because I’m in love with someone else,” Theresa said.  Nick looked at Brizee.

        “You are in love with Nick, aren’t you,” Brizee said.

        “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for it to happen,” Theresa said.  Brizee sat down.

        “T, I can’t leave Briz, I love her, I want to be with her,” Nick said.

        “I know and I don’t want you to, I just came to say goodbye, I’m going home,” Theresa said. 

        “Bye T,” Nick said.

        “Bye,” Brizee said. Theresa left. Nick looked at Brizee. He knelt down in front of her.

        “Baby, I love you,” Nick said.

        “I love you, too,” Brizee said.

        “You are the only one for me, and that will never change,” Nick said leaning up and kissing her deeply.  She laid down on the couch and he got on top of her and they pulled each other’s clothes off and made love. Afterwards, they laid there holding each other.

        “I love being in your arms,” Brizee said resting her head on his chest.

        “I love having you in my arms,” Nick said holding her closer.  They got up and got dressed.

That night, they were at the venue.  Brizee sat backstage with Brittany. All the fans who got backstage passes were backstage for the meet and greet.

        “Look at Kevin, he looks heartbroken,” Brittany said.

        “I know, he knew she wouldn’t be with Nick, why did he let her go,” Brizee said.

        “I don’t know, I guess he couldn’t handle it, knowing his wife was in love with one of his bandmates,” Brittany said.  Brizee looked at Nick.

        “Nick’s with me and he told me he wasn’t leaving me,” Brizee said.

        “Nick wouldn’t leave you if his life depended on it, that’s what Brian told me, Nick told him that,” Brittany said.  Brizee smiled as she watched Nick with the fans. Billy came over to them.

        “Hey girls, you doing okay,” Billy said.

        “Yeah, Billy, we’re fine, just talking,” Brizee said.

        “If you need anything, let me know, okay, since Nick appointed me to be your bodyguard, Briz,” Billy said.

        “He did, who’s his bodyguard?” Brizee asked.

        “Eddie is,” Billy said.

        “Okay,” Brizee said.  One of the fans saw Brittany and Brizee and came over to them. 

        “Excuse me, but are you Brizee?” the girl asked Brizee.  Brizee looked at Brittany.

        “Yes, I am,” Brizee said.

        “My name is Dana, are you Nick’s girlfriend?” Dana asked.  Brizee looked at Nick.  He was talking to a fan.

        “Um, well, yeah, I am, I’ve known Nick since we were babies,” Brizee said.

        “I see, I hope you don’t turn out to be like Willa,” Dana said.

        “Why would I want to be like that bitch,” Brizee said. Dana smiled.

        “You hate her, too,” Dana said sitting down.

        “Oh yeah, she hurt Nick and she hated me, we never got along,” Brizee said.

        “Briz, she’s here,” Brittany said.  Brizee saw Willa over by Nick.

        “She doesn’t get it,” Brizee said getting up.

Brizee went over and stood behind Willa.

        “Look, Willa, get out of here,” Nick said.

        “Brizee invited me,” Willa said.

        “Ha!” Brizee said.  Willa turned around and saw her.

        “Brizee, you did and you know it,” Willa said.

        “Willa, do you remember the last time you were here backstage at a concert, do you remember what happened,” Brizee said.

        “Yeah,” Willa said.

        “It would be a shame to have it happen again, especially in front of the fans,” Brizee said.

        “Brizee, I thought we were friends,” Willa said.

        “You are a really good liar, Willa, that’s how you got in here, don’t you ever get the hint that you are not welcome!” Brizee said.

        “I want Nick back,” Willa said.

        “You aren’t getting him, he’s with me now and I bet he’s glad to be with me, right Nick,” Brizee said.

        “You bet,” Nick said.

        “Nick, I thought we had something special,” Willa said.  Nick snorted.

        “Yeah sure, you hurt me, you abused me, you were mean to my fans, you were mean to the guys and Brizee, you USED me to get a record deal, don’t you get it, I’m sick of you!” Nick said angrily.

        “Nicky,” Willa said.

        “I hate that name!” Nick said.

        “Willa, you better go,” Billy said.

        “This isn’t over, Nick, we will never be over,” Willa said.  Nick laughed.

        “We were over two years ago, give it up and move on,” Nick said. Willa looked at me.

        “You are nothing but a slut,” Willa said.

        “Takes one to know one,” Brizee said. Willa leaped at her. Brizee ducked away and Billy caught Willa and took her out the door. Nick came over to Brizee and hugged her.

        “You were right, Brizee, she is a bitch,” Dana said.

        “Yup,” Brizee said.

        “Girls, time to take your seats, the guys need to get ready to go on,” Billy said.  All the fans except Dana went out to their seats.

        “It was nice meeting you, Brizee,” Dana said shaking her hand.

        “You, too, Dana,” Brizee said.  Dana went out to her seat.  Nick kissed Brizee’s forehead.

        “You are amazing,” Nick said.

        “I know, and you are amazing, too,” Brizee said.  Nick kissed her lips softly.

        “Nick, time to go on,” Kevin said.

        “Okay, see you later, baby,” Nick said kissing Brizee’s lips again.

        “You bet you will, I’ll see you later, too, all of you, sexy,” Brizee said kissing his neck.

        “I better go,” Nick said smiling.  He hugged her and followed the guys. Brizee sat down. Brittany smiled.

        “Briz, did you and Nick, you know,” Brittany said.

        “What, make love?” Brizee asked.

        “Yeah,” Brittany said.

        “Yup,” Brizee said.

        “How was it,” Brittany said.

        “Amazing,” Brizee said smiling.

        “I think I’m ready to take that step with Brian, but he has this thing about waiting until he’s married to take that step,” Brittany said.

        “Talk to him, let him know how you feel,” Brizee said. Brittany looked at her.

        “I don’t know,” Brittany said.

        “I’ll talk to him about it, okay,” Brizee said.

        “Thanks, Briz,” Brittany said. They sat back and watched the show.

Chapter 8

The guys came backstage after the show.  Brizee went over to Brian.

        “Hey B, can we talk,” Brizee said.

        “Sure, can I shower first,” Brian said.

        “Okay,” Brizee said. The guys went to shower.  Brian came out five minutes later, dressed. Nick came running out.  Brian came over to Brizee.

        “Okay, I’m ready,” Brian said.

        “Briz,” Nick said.

        “Hold on, Brian,” Brizee said.  She pulled Nick away.

        “What’s going on,” Nick said.

        “I need to talk to Brian about something, Britt asked me to, it won’t be long,” Brizee said.

        “But, Briz,” Nick said before Brizee pulled him in and kissed him hungrily. She pulled back.

        “Don’t be long,” Nick said.  She smiled and went over to Brian.

         “Come on, B,” Brizee said.  She and Brian went out and went to the beach. She sat down on the sand. Brian sat down beside her.

        “What’s up,” Brian said.

        “Brittany and I were talking, she said she’s ready to take the next step, I think you know what that step is,” Brizee said.

        “Making love, I know, but I want to wait until I’m with someone I’m deeply in love with,” Brian said.

        “And that person isn’t Brittany?” Brizee asked.

        “Briz,” Brian said.

        “Brian, Brittany is crazy about you, she is the one for you and I know it, she’s not Leighanne, she won’t hurt you, she loves you so much,” Brizee said.

        “God, she’s the one, I know it,” Brian said.

        “Then go to her, Brian, show her how much you love her,” Brizee said.  Brian smiled and kissed her cheek.

        “Briz, you are the best, come on, better get back to the hotel, I got a girl to make love to,” Brian said.

They went to the hotel and found a crowd of fans at the entrance and they were blocking the side entrance.

        “Damn,” Brian said.  They went down the street and Brian called Kevin on his cell phone.

        “Kev, it’s Brian, me and Briz are down the street from the hotel, we can’t get in, there is a crowd of fans and they are blocking the front entrance and the side entrance, okay, bye,” Brian said.

        “Well,” Brizee said.

        “Billy and Tom are coming down, Tom will create a diversion while Billy helps us get in,” Brian said.

        “LOOK THERE’S BRIAN!” a girl shouted. The crowd came towards them.

        “Shit!” Brian said. He grabbed Brizee’s hand and they ran down the street.  Brian got out his cell phone and dialed Kevin’s number.

        “Hello,” Kevin said.

        “Kevin, scratch that, they are chasing us now,” Brian said as they went around the corner and hid.  Brian got off the phone with Kevin. The fans ran past them. They looked at each other.

        “I guess we can head back now,” Brizee said.

        “Yeah, I guess we could,” Brian said.  They stared into each other’s eyes.  Brian leaned forward and Brizee felt his lips on hers.  The kiss deepened.  Brizee pulled back.  She shook her head and ran back to the hotel. She pushed the button for the elevator. She went in and the doors closed. She rested her forehead on the wall of the elevator.  She turned around and saw Brian standing there.  He came over to her.  He pulled her close. He pushed the stop button on the elevator and it stopped between floors.

        “Brian, we can’t,” Brizee said.

        “I know, but I can’t help it,” Brian said.  He kissed her deeply.  Brizee pulled back.

        “I want Nick,” Brizee said.

        “I know, and I want Brittany,” Brian said.

        “We can’t hurt them, Brian,” Brizee said.  Brian looked into her eyes.

        “I know, we can’t tell them, and we have to forget about this,” Brian said.

        “Yes, that’s right,” Brizee said.  Brian pushed the button on the elevator and it arrived at the floor.  The doors opened and there stood Nick and Brittany.

        “Briz, baby, I missed you!” Nick said pulling her out and down to their room. He pulled her in and closed the door. He pulled her close.

        “Nick, I’m tired from running from fans,” Brizee said.  She went into the bedroom and changed and got into bed.  Nick came in.

        “Briz, you okay,” Nick said.

        “I’m just tired, that’s all, can you just hold me,” Brizee said. Nick stripped down to his boxer-briefs and got into bed and wrapped his arms around her and they went to sleep. 

Chapter 9

Brizee woke up the next morning and got up and got dressed and went for a walk. She felt someone grab her and took her to a secluded place. She turned and saw Brian.

        “Brian, don’t scare me like that,” Brizee said.

        “I’m sorry, I just wanted us to be somewhere that no one can see us, Brizee, I can’t forget last night,” Brian said.

        “Me either, I want to tell Nick what happened, it’s hurting me not being able to tell him anything, I have never lied to him,” Brizee said.

        “I don’t want to forget it, Brizee, what we shared was amazing, god, I want to kiss you again,” Brian said.

        “Kiss me, Brian, please,” Brizee said. He leaned forward and their lips touched. Brian deepened the kiss and pressed his body against hers. His tongue slid into her mouth and she moaned.

        “Brizee, I want you so bad, I want to make love to you, please let me make love to you,” Brian said.

        “Make love to me, Brian, I need you to make love to me so bad, ” Brizee said. They went to another hotel and went up to the room and once the door closed and locked, they were in each other’s arms, kissing hungrily. He pulled off her clothes and she pulled his off. He kissed her deeply as his hands explored her body. His hands caressed her breasts and he ran his thumbs over her nipples. Her hands went down and wrapped around his length. He moaned and slid one hand down and opened her legs and found her hidden folds and slid one finger inside her. Her head fell back and he kissed her neck. His lips moved down and he took one nipple into his mouth and sucked on it. He moved to the other breast and nursed on it. She pulled back and pushed him on the bed and got on top of him and kissed his lips and moved down his chest and stomach. She took him into her mouth and sucked and caressed his length with her tongue. She removed her mouth and moved up.

        “Why did you stop,” Brian said looking at her.

        “I want to feel you inside me,” Brizee said laying beside him. He moved on top of her.

        “Do you want to stop, Brizee, once we do this, there is no turning back, if we do this, and Nick and Britt find out, they will break up with us,” Brian said.

        “They will never find out, I am sure about this, make love to me, Brian, fuck me, I want you inside me now,” Brizee said. He moved between her legs and pushed inside her.  She wrapped her legs around his waist and pushed him deeper inside her.

        “Oh god, Brizee, you feel so good,” Brian said.

        “Do it, Brian, fuck me hard!” Brizee moaned. He moved out and slammed back in. Their hips moved together. Every stroke, he went deeper and deeper inside her. He felt her tightening around him and she cried out his name. He came and she felt his hot seed shoot deep inside her. He collapsed on top of her and buried his face in her neck.  Their breathing slowed and he laid beside her.

        “Oh god, Brizee, what have we done,” Brian said.

        “We made love,” Brizee said.

        “With no protection, Brizee,” Brian said.

        “I’m on the pill, Brian,” Brizee said.

        “Briz, this can’t happen again, I love Britt too much to let her go, and you love Nick, and I know he loves you to death and I know he would die if he lost you, I can’t take you away from him, and you can’t leave him, it’ll break his heart and nothing will make it better, Briz, promise me,” Brian said.

        “I promise, I know I can’t leave him, if he finds out about this, he will leave me,” Brizee said.

        “We can’t tell anyone, no one else can know, okay,” Brian said.

        “Deal,” Brizee said. They got up and got dressed and went back to their original hotel. Brizee walked into her and Nick’s room and saw Nick lying on the couch in his boxers.

        “Hey baby,” Brizee said.

        “Hey, baby girl, where did you go?” Nick asked.

        “Just out for a walk,” Brizee said.

        “You okay, baby,” Nick said. She looked at him.

        “Nicky, we have to talk, but first, I’m going to take a shower, okay, and then we’ll talk,” Brizee said. She got some clothes and went into the bathroom and took a shower and got out and got dressed and looked in the mirror and went out and saw Brittany, Brian, and Nick talking in the living room.

        “Hey Briz, girl talk, in the bedroom,” Brittany said as she pulled Brizee into the bedroom and closed the door.

        “What’s up,” Brizee said.

        “Brian and I talked and we are going to do it tonight!” Brittany said.

        “Really?” Brizee asked.

        “Yeah, Briz, I need advice, does the first time hurt bad,” Brittany said.

        “At first but then you get used to it, it only lasts for a couple of minutes or so,” Brizee said.

        “I can’t wait, I love him so much, Briz, I can’t imagine my life without him,” Brittany said.

        “Yeah, I know the feeling,” Brizee said.

        “Yeah, you and Nick, you two are perfect together,” Brittany said. Brizee smiled.

        “Yeah, we are, I love him so much, Britt,” Brizee said.

        “I know you do,” Brittany said. She and Brian left. Brizee laid on the bed. Nick came in and sat down.

        “You okay, baby,” Nick said.

        “Yeah, just tired,” Brizee said.

The next day, they went to the next city. Brizee went for a walk. She felt someone behind her and looked and saw Brian. They went to another hotel and got a room and went up and closed the door and locked it and he pressed her against the wall and removed her clothes and his and lifted her up and pushed inside her. She closed her eyes and held onto him. She came around him. He came inside her, spilling his seed deep inside her body. He let her down and they moved over to the bed and laid on it and made love again.

        “We shouldn’t do this but I can’t help it, I want this all the time,” Brian said.

        “Did you sleep with Britt last night?” Brizee asked.

        “Yeah,” Brian said. She got up and got dressed.

        “Brian, we can’t do this anymore, not to Nick and Britt, they love us, Britt loves you more than anything, Nick loves me, and I love him,” Brizee said.

        “And I love Britt, you are right, I can’t hurt her anymore than I have,” Brian said. Brizee turned and went out the door. She walked out of the hotel and went to the hotel where they were staying and went up to her and Nick’s room and went in and closed the door.  Nick was playing video games. She went and took a shower and got out and went and got dressed and laid down on the bed. Nick came in and sat down.

        “You okay, baby,” Nick said stroking her forehead.

        “I’m fine, just a little tired,” Brizee said. Nick laid down beside her and pulled her close. She rested her head on his chest and smiled. She knew this was where she belonged.

        “Better?” Nick asked.

        “Yeah, I love being in your arms, Nicky, I feel so safe and secure,” Brizee said.

        “That’s how I want you to feel, safe and secure, I love you so much, I can’t be without you, marry me?” Nick said. She looked up at him and moved on top of him and kissed him deeply.

        “I love you, too, and yes, I will,” Brizee said. They kissed.

Chapter 10

Two weeks later, the tour was in Las Vegas. The guys had a day off. Brizee dragged Nick out of the hotel and pulled him to a wedding chapel.

        “Nicky, let’s get married now and have a traditional ceremony after the tour is over,” Brizee said.

        “Are you sure,” Nick said.

        “Yes, I want to be your wife, I want to be Mrs. Nickolas Gene Carter, I don’t want to wait, I want us together forever, please, Nicky, I want us married now, because tonight, I want us to make love for the first time as husband and wife,” Brizee said.

        “Well, since you put it that way, come on, baby,” Nick said. They went to the chapel and got the license and got married. They went back to the hotel and went up to their room and went in and closed the door and collapsed on the bed. They removed each other’s clothes and made love. He collapsed on the bed and pulled her close.

        “I love you so much, I’m glad we got married, I can’t live without you, baby, I never want to lose you,” Nick said kissing her forehead.

        “I love you, too, and I don’t want to lose you either, I would die if I lost you,” Brizee said. Nick held her close. There was a knock at the door. Nick groaned and got up and put his boxers on and went out and looked out and saw Brian and Brittany. He opened the door.

        “What’s up,” Nick said.

        “We wanted to know if you and Briz wanted to hang out,” Brian said.

        “Raincheck, Briz is tired, we were in bed,” Nick said.

        “Sure, see ya, radio show in the morning, meeting in the lobby at eight am, okay,” Brian said.

        “See ya then,” Nick said. He closed the door. He went back and got into bed and pulled Brizee close. The phone rang. He groaned and picked it up.

        “Hello,” Nick said.

        “Hey Nicky, wanna hang out?” AJ asked.

        “Maybe some other time, Bone, I’m spending time with my girl,” Nick said. Brizee smiled.

        “Okay, Kaos, later,” AJ said. He hung up. Nick hung up. There was another knock at the door. Nick groaned. He got up and opened the door and saw Kevin and Kristin standing there.

        “Can we come in?” Kevin said. Nick shrugged. They came in and he closed the door.

        “What is it,” Nick said.

        “We saw the news on TV,” Kevin said.

        “What news?” Nick asked.

        “You and Briz at a wedding chapel,” Kevin said.

        “Huh,” Nick said.

        “Nick, it’s all over the news, you and Brizee were at a wedding chapel,” Kevin said.

        “So what, we were there but that’s it,” Nick said.

        “Then explain the ring on your finger,” Kevin said. Brizee came out of the bedroom dressed in one of Nick’s shirts which looked like a dress on her. She sat down beside Nick.

        “Nick and I got married today, it was my idea, Kev, we will have a traditional ceremony after the tour, we got married because we wanted to be married, we love each other,” Brizee said.

        “Briz, I’m not mad, okay, I’m just saying it’s all over the news and now the press will have a field day, we have to get more security,” Kevin said.

        “We support you guys, no matter what,” Kristin said.

        “Thanks, Kris, I guess I’ll have to say something at the radio show,” Nick said.

        “Yeah,” Kevin said.

The next morning, they were all at a radio show. Nick announced his marriage to Brizee. Then the DJ looked at Nick.

        “Did you know that your wife was cheating on you?” the DJ asked.

        “Excuse me?” Nick said.

        “Yeah, we have witnesses that have said they saw your wife going into another hotel with Brian here,” the DJ said.

        “What!” Brian said.

        “That can’t be true,” Nick said.

        “It isn’t, Nick, people talk, his wife and I are just friends, I’m in love with one of her best friends,” Brian said.

        “What is this girl’s name?” the DJ said.

        “Brittany, she’s my girlfriend and I love her with all my heart and soul and no way would I ever cheat on her,” Brian said.

        “Why were you going into a hotel with Nick’s wife,” the DJ said.

        “I didn’t go to a hotel with Nick’s wife, the only hotel I went to was the one that we all were staying at,” Brian said.

        “Where are you getting all this information,” Kevin said.

        “The hotel, fans, you guys have fans who follow your every step,” the DJ said.

        “We have pictures,” the DJ said.

        “Fake pictures,” Brian said.

        “This interview is over, come on, guys,” Kevin said. They got up and went back to the hotel. Brittany and Brizee were in Nick’s room, talking. The guys came in.

        “Was that DJ on crack?” Brittany asked.

        “Probably, saying all those things,” AJ said.

        “Was he telling the truth?” Nick asked looking at Brian and Brizee. They looked at him.

        “Nick, that guy was a loser, I couldn’t do that to you, man,” Brian said.

        “I would never do anything to hurt you, Nicky,” Brizee said.

        “Please, be honest,” Nick said.

        “If we did, I wouldn’t have dragged you to that wedding chapel,” Brizee said.

        “I need to talk to my wife alone,” Nick said. Everyone left. Brizee sat there looking at him. Nick sat down.

        “Briz, please, be honest with me, was that DJ telling the truth?” Nick asked. Brizee looked at him and looked away and closed her eyes and nodded slowly.

        “Oh god,” Nick said. Brizee covered her face and cried softly. Nick got up and paced the room.

        “I’m sorry,” Brizee said.

        “Sorry, huh, you slept with my best friend!” Nick said angrily.

        “I don’t know what else to say but I’m sorry!” Brizee cried.

        “I can’t believe you, we got married and you were sleeping with my best friend, how could you do this to me!” Nick said. Brizee sat there sobbing. Nick stood there.

        “Was I not good enough for you, huh, you had to go sleep with my best friend, your best friend’s fiancée!” Nick said angrily.

        “It wasn’t like that, it happened, okay, it wasn’t planned and we swore never to tell anyone or do it again!” Brizee said crying.

        “We are over, done, I’m filing for a divorce, I never want to see you again,” Nick said. He walked out the door. Brizee laid on the couch and cried heavily. She got up and went and packed her stuff and went out the door and went down the hallway and pushed the button for the elevator. The doors opened and Nick stood there. She moved past him and got on the elevator but he pulled her off of it and pulled her back to the room and pulled her in and closed the door.

        “Nick,” Brizee said.

        “I’m sorry, you forgave me when I slept with Theresa, I should be able to forgive you, I do, baby, I do, I love you so much,” Nick said. Brizee put her bags down and sat down.

        “I know it hurt you,” Brizee said.

        “Brian’s my best friend, Theresa is yours, we are even now,” Nick said. Brizee nodded.

        “I love you,” Brizee said. Nick kissed her.

        “Do you have feelings for him?” Nick asked.

        “No, not anymore, they went away when you left,” Brizee said.

        “I will never hurt you again,” Nick said.

        “I won’t hurt you again,” Brizee said. They kissed.
