[later that afternoon]
Nick and Abby were in the kitchen; Brian and Vanessa were in Vanessa’s bunk; Carla and AJ were in the entertainment room; Megan and Kevin were both in their own bunks, and so was Howie and Lauren.
“Vanessa, can I ask you something?” Brian said.
Vanessa looked up from her magazine, and looked at him. “Yeah Bri wassup?”
“I was just wondering if maybe tonight…when we stop at a mall or something if you want to go out on a real date…you know like couples do…”
Vanessa’s eyes widened. She smiled happily. She put her arms around his neck, and pulled him over to her. “You are so sweet, Brian….”
Brian pulled away a little, and gave her a little kiss on the lips. He gently ran his fingers through her hair, and she laid back in his arms.
Kevin was laying in his bunk staring at the ceiling. ‘How could she do this to me… I don’t even know why she won’t just give it a chance!’ he thought. He looked across the hall, and saw the curtains close on Megan’s bunk.
He closed his eyes, and just thought about what he could be doing with her right now if only she would have said yes. It was truly impossible, and he knew he had to get over it. Of course he was 27, but he had to find another girl to fulfill his life dreams. Unfortunately he wanted that girl to be Megan, but since she rejected him, he wanted nothing to do with her ever again.
Abby was at the table, eating a lolli pop, and reading a new Seventeen Magazine. Nick got himself a glass of Coke, and sat down next to her. She quickly turned the page.
Nick looked at her questionably.
“What did you do that for?” Nick said, gently resting his head on her shoulder.
“Do what honey?” Abby said, gently kissing the top of his head.
“Turn the page as soon as I came over…”
“I was…uh…just done reading it…”
She smiled at him, as he moved his hand, and took hers that was on the page to the magazine, and held it with his. With his other hand, he turned the page back.
“Nick!!” Abby shouted. Nick read the topic for the page, “Play it safe…Are you ready for sex?” Nick looked at her, and gently lifted his eyebrows. She looked away from him.
He put his arms around her waist, and pulled her into his body. “Someone looking for something?” Nick whispered in her ear.
She looked at him, and smiled nervously. She looked into his blue eyes, and knew that he was going to be her first. “Nick…” she said softly.
“Is this an issue right now?” Nick said. He needed to know where the boundaries were in their relationship.
“I dunno Nick. Is it? I mean I think that we should really talk about this…” Abby said, gently rubbing his face.
“I know we should. If or when we make love…would it be your first time?”
Abby smiled a little shyly. “Yeah…” she whispered. “What about you?”
“I’m sorry…no it wouldn’t.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. I… I really don’t wanna get into it. It was kinda a bad experience.”
“Oh ok.”
Nick turned her around in his arms, and he put his head against hers. She smiled a little, and Nick said, “You tell me when your ready ok? And I promise you, you will know when we are ready…ok baby?”
Abby nodded her head, as Nick leaned in and kissed her lips gently.
AJ and Carla were in the back room, watching The Blame Game on MTV.
“These people have no lives!” Carla said.
“It is the kind of show I should take Lauren on. She’s a bitch, and she knows it,” AJ replied bitterly.
“AJ you know that you are just mad at her.” Carla stood up, and walked over to AJ and sat down next to him. AJ felt a little uncomfortable, considering she was almost sitting on top of him.
He looked at her a little strangely. “You need to move on…” Carla said seductively.
AJ looked away. She gently turned his head back to hers, and leaned in and pressed her lips against his. She went to keep kissing him, but AJ roughly pushed her away.
“Don’t, please don’t…” AJ said, then getting up and leaving.
He walked into the kitchen. He was shocked at what he saw. Nick and Abby were making out. ‘What is this bus turning into!’ he thought.
He cleared his throat, and Abby and Nick looked over at him.
“Uh…we were…uh….” Abby stuttered.
“I know what you two were doing. So you finally realized it huh Abs?”
“Yeah I guess…” she said, then blushing and burying her head in Nick’s chest. He gently wrapped his arms around her, and smiled at AJ.
[7pm, at Olive Garden]
“Vanessa we’re not sitting with everyone else. We’re gonna sit together. Alone…” Brian whispered, then kissing her lips gently.
She smiled at him, and nodded her head yes.
“Abby…” Nick said, grabbing her around the waist from behind. She smiled, then kissed him on the cheek.
“Are we going to sit alone?” Nick whispered.
“You want to?” Abby asked.
“Yeah…” Nick said, then Abby turned around. Nick gently put his hands on her face, and kissed her lips slowly and carefully.
“Oh stop it!” Lauren said, They didn’t pay attention. They just kept kissing. Lauren watched silently, as she saw Nick’s tongue circling with Abby’s. She sighed, and just walked away.
Abby pulled away from Nick, and said, “we’re in public, and your fans…”
“I don’t care. I want them to know that I am happy,” Nick said gently kissing her face.
She smiled, and then took his hand in hers, and walked into the restaurant.
AJ had been trying to avoid Lauren and Carla. He was beginning to like Carla. It was one of those revenge relationships through. He was planning on staying in the bus when everyone went out, but Kevin said that if he had to go, then AJ was going too.
Kevin stared at Megan longingly. She knew that he kept staring at her, and she didn’t know what to do. She just tried to live the way she had yesterday. It was to hard. She was having second thoughts about Kevin. I mean look at him He was so built and hott and everything.
She had to tell him that she still did care for him. She walked over to where Kevin was, and grabbed his arm. He looked at her a little shocked.
She lead him over to the side of the restaurant and stood on her tip toes, and pushed her lips against his.
Kev didn’t know what the hell to do. It was to hard. He just put his arms around her waist, and kissed her back. He wanted this, and since she was doing it he couldn’t refuse it.
Kevin wasn’t ready to get any further that her lips, but she forced his lips open, and slowly put her tongue into his mouth. He couldn’t help but let his respond.
Just when they were kissing for awhile, Megan pulled away.
“I’m sorry baby, but I want you to be mine. I know what I said to you this morning, but I want you to be with me…please baby…”
Kevin looked at her. How could he possibly say no after that kiss. “Ok…” Kev replied, then kissing her forehead. She put her arms around his chest, and hugged him.
“Thank you…” she whispered. Kevin just ran his hands up and down her back.
Brian and Vanessa had gotten seated, along with the others, and Nick and Abby.
Brian sat across the table from Vanessa. Nick and Abby were in the booth behind them. Brian reached across the table, and took her hands in his. She smiled at him, and looked into his enchanting blue eyes.
“I love you Vanessa…” Brian whispered. Vanessa’s eyes widened.
“Brian we just started dating…” Vanessa said softly.
“I know that I love you Vanessa…please tell me that you love me….”
“I love you Brian….” Vanessa replied. Brian picked up her hand, and kissed it numerous times.
Abby was looking around the restaurant. She was a little afraid to talk to Nick. After the whole sex thing, she thought that he wanted something more from her. She was shy around him now.
Nick knew that something was bothering her. “Abers, come here…” Nick said. She stood up, and went over, and sat down next to Nick.
“What’s wrong baby?” Nick said, kissing her neck passionately.
“Nothing…” Abby said, her voice cracking.
“Baby, I know something is wrong…just tell me… I can make you feel better.”
“Its just the whole sex thing Nicky. I feel like you expect more form me now because I said that I wanted to have sex with you.”
“Abby…sweetie…I don’t expect any more from you. When you are ready to do something intimate. Then tell me, and I’ll be here.” Nick kissed her neck again.
“Baby, I’m gonna get a hickey…” Abby whispered.
“To late…” Nick said, then pressing his lips against hers before she could answer. He kissed her lips gently, then pulled away.
“I love you Abs..” Nick said softly.
“I love you too…” Abby responded.
