Just Friends: Chapter 10

***Mandy’s Point of View***

“Am I sexual?”, Nick sang as the boys finished up their last song.

After they finished and everyone took their showers we were going onto the tour bus. Kat was staying with us rather than in the tour bus meant for the opening acts. I heard the applause start and decided to get Kat and wait in the gameroom for them, there was a huge crowd and they had a lot of people scheduled for Meet and Greet.

“Kat, let’s go before we’re trampled!”, I screamed to Kat over the already growing crowd.

“Okay! If we get seperated we meet at the gameroom!”, Kat said as she worked her way through the crowd to me.

“Are you still with me Kat?”, I said as we got to the Meet and Greet room.

“Still here!”, Kat yelled back, we had to go past the Meet and Greet room to get to the gameroom and the fans were just getting there.

“That was close!”, I said to Kat as we got to the gameroom.

“Defenitely!”, Kat said as we sat down on the couch.

“So how are things with AJ?”, I asked as I layed down on the couch.

“Really great! We decided he’s not going to announce it to the fans tomorrow because Nick is announcing about you and he felt it might be too much. He’s just so cocky, he should know everyone loves Nick, and they’ll be too devastated about Nick to notice him!”, Kat said with a laugh.

“Ha ha, you should get it out soon though. Defenitely before your first single comes out, otherwise people might think that you’re using him. It happened with Brian and one of his girlfriends, and the Backstreet Boys weren’t even that famous yet either!”

“Wow, really? I’ll talk to him about it. We talked about the whole sex thing last night. He said he was fine with it, and he didn’t care how long he had to wait. He was really sweet about it, I hope he stays like that!”, Kat said as someone stormed through the door.

“Is it true that you’re going out with Nick, and you’re going out with AJ?”, it was obviously an upset fan because she seemed like she was crying, she looked pretty young, 11 or 12.

I looked at Kat before answering, “Yes I am going out with Nick, I’m sorry if....”, the girl interrupted me before I could finish.

“I don’t care about Nick, I care about AJ. Me and him are meant to be, it said so in our names, so are you going out with him?”, the girl said to Kat I couldn’t help but hold back giggles.

“Yes, I am going out with AJ, but I’m sure that if you and AJ are meant to me, than I won’t stop you. Maybe this will make you two closer!”, Kat said, she too was holding back laughs.

“I guess you’re right, but you and him better not get too close!”, the little girl said as she stormed out of the room.

“Oh my god, that was so hysterical! How old do you think she was 10?”, Kat said as we practically rolled on the floor laughing.

“I know! But do me a favor, for both of our sakes? Don’t tell any of the guys, they’re gonna over react to this and like get us body guards, so just don’t say anything, ok?”, I said, I knew that Brian and Nick especially would be concerned.

“It was no big deal, but you know them better, so my mouth is sealed!”, Kat said just as the guys walked in.

“Hey girls! I’m gonna go take a shower!”, Kevin said as he walked in.

“Hey Mandy! Hey beautiful!”, AJ said as he walked in.

“Aw..isn’t that sweet!”, Howie said as he walked in and took a shower in the other shower.

“Hey babe!”, Nick said as sat next to me and kissed me.

“Hey babe!”, Brian mimicked Nick as he walked in, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Don’t make fun of me!”, Nick said with a pout.

“I’m sorry sweetie, hurry up and take your shower and I’ll let you finish what you started this morning!”, I whispered into Nick’s ear.

“Really?”, Nick said as he looked at me with a huge smile.

“Yup!”, I said as Nick ran to one of the showers, and pushed Howie out, who quickly managed to grab a towel so we wouldn’t see anything. We all cracked up.

“Geez, why is he so excited?”, AJ said while pulling himself out of his and Kat’s makeout session.

“I just told him something.”, I said with a laugh, wondering how I was going to control myself from giving myself up that night.

I trusted Nick more than myself. I was planning on fooling around with Nick that night, but defenitely not losing my virginity! Hopefully, I could control myself.

***Nick’s Point of View***

Mandy’s never been such a tease or a flirt, but that was bad, I thought as I took a shower, trying to go as quick as possible. I would love to sleep with her, but I don’t think either of us are ready. I think we’re ready to fool around though, even if we haven’t been going out long it feels like we have, and we’ve known each other so long. I’m gonna have to control myself to not lose my virginity tonight, but we’re on a tour bus with 5 other people, so it shouldn’t be that hard, I finished my thoughts as I got changed.

“Hey Nick, everyone headed out to the tour bus already, are you ready?”, Howie asked as he turned off the TV.

“Yeah, sure, let’s go!”, I said as we headed to the tour bus.

“So you and Mandy... are you happy?”, Howie asked as we got onto the elevator.

“Of course I’m happy! I’ve been waiting for this for such a long time!”, I said as we walked out the venue.

“Well, then I’m happy for you!”, Howie said as we he grabbed the last empty bunk, and closed the curtain.

There was only one bunk with the curtain still opened, so I figured that was mine and Mandy’s. I took a deep breath as I took off my jeans and shirt, leaving me in my boxers which is what I normally sleep in anyway. We had kind of a secluded bunk on top of the driver area, so I stepped up into the bunk.

“Hey hottie!”, Mandy whispered as I layed down next to her.

“Hey babe, you left me up there!”, I whispered back.

“I’m sorry, but I wanted to do a couple of things, like brush my teeth!”, she whispered with a giggle.

“Well, I hope I don’t dissapoint you, I had some gum about two hours ago!”, I said with a laugh.

“You never dissapoint me!”, Mandy said as she looked deeply into my eyes.

(Authors Note: This paragraph gets a little intense, if you can’t handle it, skip it!)

I took that as a sign, so I pulled her close to me and started kissing her. Even still, our kisses got more and more passionate. We stayed like that for a little while and then I put my hand up her shirt, and rested it on our stomach. I stopped kissing to make sure it was okay, and she nodded her head, so I took off her shirt and her bra and explored. It felt good to be so close to her, but I didn’t want it to get too intense, so when I felt her going into my boxers, I had to stop. It’s not that I wouldn’t love to go all the way with her, but I know in the morning both of us would regret it, and there’s five other people in here with us.

“Mandy, are you sure you want to go any farther?”, I whispered as I pulled myself off of her and looked her in the eyes.

“Yes, as long as you’re fine with that, I’m not gonna sleep with you with five other people around, but I’m ready to go far.”, she said as the bus made a short stop, and all of a sudden I flew out of the bed.

All of a sudden everyone was rushing to me, I felt fine except my head hurt a little.

“Amanda!!”, I heard Brian scream, I flinched knowing Mandy hated being called Amanda, but I guess he realized she didn’t have a shirt on, “Nick, what the hell is going on?”

“I fell out of the bed!”, I said hoping that was a good enough explanation.

“Yeah, he was gonna get laid!”, AJ said with a grin.

“Shut up!”, Kat hissed at him while she hit his arm, “You know, we’re all gonna go in the kitchen now and let Mandy, Nick, and Brian talk!”, Kat finished while grabbing AJ, while Howie and Kevin followed.

“Are you two crazy? You really think you’re ready to sleep together, you’ve been going out for what, a day? I can not believe this, how am I supposed to trust you two now! You are so lucky I am not going to tell mom or dad. I just can’t believe you two!”, Brian said while shaking his head and looking between the two of us, by that time Mandy was fully dressed and helping me regain my balance.

“SHUT UP BRIAN!!”, Mandy screamed so loud that Kat, AJ, Howie, and Kevin all stuck their heads in to see if we were okay, “I am 18 years old, and we weren’t going to have sex together, you really think I’m gonna lose my virginty with five other people me, one of which is my brother? Aren’t we allowed to fool around without getting yelled at like we’re 13! It’s not like you waited very long until you gave it up!”, Mandy screamed once again but not as loud with tears running down her face, before she could finish I brought her into the TV room, because she obviously knew about what happened with Brian, and I don’t think he wanted anyone else to know.

“Shh....don’t be upset Mandy, he’ll get over himself, he always does!”, I said as I wrapped my arms around her, “I know how you feel though, Kevin always treats me like I’m still 12.”

“I know, I dunno why I’m so upset, it’s just he makes me feel like I have to be this perfect person that just doesn’t exist. I love having a big brother to protect me, but sometimes he pushes it.”, Mandy said as she looked at me and stopped crying.

“Do you want me to try and talk to him about it?”, I said as Brian walked through the door.

“I’m sorry I yelled at you, but I don’t think that I over reacted. From now on, someone will sleep on the floor in here. And Nick, I’m upset with you too, I thought you were more responsible than that.

“Brian, you can not control me or Mandy, you’re only six years older than her, and five years older than me. I know you’re upset, but we have a right to want to be with each other, and fool around with each other. We love each other!”, I said as I looked at Mandy to make sure I was right, she smiled and looked at Brian who seemed to have softened.

“I guess you’re right...I’m sorry, but I feel like I have to protect you guys. I gave it up too early, and I’ve regreted it since. I don’t want you guys to feel like I did.”, Brian said as he sat down on the couch and hugged Mandy.

“I know you want to be there to protect me... us, but you’re not always gonna be around, and you have to let us go at some point. You have to let us make mistakes!”, Mandy said pulling away from Brian.

“I guess you’re right, I’ll try and let you guys do you’re own thing, but just remember what I said. Let’s get back to bed, everyone else already did.”, Brian said as he walked out followed by me and Mandy. “Goodnight Brian!”, we said as we climbed into our bunk.

“I guess that was our sign to give it a rest, huh?”, I said as I wrapped my arms around her.

“Yeah, I guess so, and you were right before, I love you.”, Mandy whispered as she looked into my eyes.

“I love you too.”, I said as I kissed her nose, and we fell asleep in each others arms.
