As she grasped it, she leaned forward causing his eyes to glance to her chest. She smiled at him as his eyes slowly made their way up to her sparkling green orbs.. "I'm Christina."

"Would you like to go somewhere else?" he asked, already knowing that the woman was interested in him. She nodded her head before following him out of the club and climbing into a taxi which took them to the hotel where he was staying....

Later that night, Joey rolled on his side, his eyes staying off of the blond that was lying close to him. He felt the alcohol still in his bloodstream as he rubbed his eyes and climbed out of bed, reaching for his boxers in the process. After throwing on some clothes, he made his way downstairs to the lobby where a baby grand sat in the corner. He sat down on the piano bench and pecked at the keys, not knowing what he should play. The lobby was almost completely empty, except for the few employees that were there at such a late hour.

After poking on the keys for a little while longer, he sighed and made his way back up to his room. Once he was inside, he looked over to the bed where the young woman was sleeping and shook his head before settling in the chair and allowing his tired and confused eyes to close.

He loved her but couldn't be with her because of his career. It wasn't far for either of them to be tied down during this wild ride. He turned on the shower and let the water warm up as he leaned against the wall, his brain filled with images of her. 'I miss you, baby,' his head silently said before stepping into the shower, remembering the times that they had shared together.

He remembered the endless nights that they had shared together, just lying side beside feeling their heartbeats next to each other. Nothing else had ever mattered whenever he was with her.

He turned the shower off before getting out and making his way out of the bathroom and towards his suitcase that was lying on the floor by the bed. When he opened it up, he was immediately greeted by a picture of her smiling up at him. He picked it up and brought it closer to his face, his fingers gently trailing over her lips as he imagined holding her at that very time. but feeling extreme sadness when he realized that she was so far away from him.

He had never told her that he loved her, but he knew that it was love that he felt in his heart. All he could do was keep it stuffed down inside him until it was time to unleash it and he just hoped that she would be there for him to completely give his heart.

He saw the women that were sitting in the bar giving him seductive looks causing him to laugh as he thought about what was going to happen. It was the same thing that happened almost every night for the past few years. 'I love you, Amanda,' he said silently before drowning the liquid in the shot glass and making his way over to a table that was nothing but women. Tomorrow morning, he promised himself that he would call her and tell her that she had been on his mind..

"Joey...where are you?"

"In some hotel," he told her before closing his eyes and picturing what she was doing while she was talking to him. "How are you?"

"I miss you so much, Joey," she said as her voice began to tremble as she fought back the tears that were wanting to fall.

It was the same conversation that they always had and it always ended on the same sad note of wanting to be with each other, but they knew that now wasn't the time for them to start anything. "I need to go baby."

"Please don't go just yet, Joe," she pleaded with him. 'I never want to let you go,' his head screamed as he took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't stay on the phone with her forever. "I have to go, Amanda."

"Joey," she began but stopped just as suddenly as she had started. "Take care of yourself, Joe."

"You too, Manda," he said before hanging up the phone and letting the tears slide down his face.
