For the last three months, Shyisha Carpenter had been on tour with her best friend, AJ McLean, and his groupmates, the rest of the Backstreet Boys, as their new opening act. Shyisha was so glad that she could finally spend more time with AJ, but for the past few weeks, she has noticed something different about her best friend. Her best friend was not merely a friend any more, but a man that she had loved for the past three years.
Shyisha stood aside from the stage watching as the guys were practicing their routine with Fatima for their show, the following day. She watched as AJ hit every one of his smooth moves. The way that he could just move his body with the rhythm of the music. But her heart could stop every time, he would look over to her and just giver her that killer smile that he knew that she couldn't resist. But why does he flirt with her? Why does he play these games with her heart?
Shyisha thoughts were broken as Fatima told the guys that they were finished for the night. She watched as AJ flirted with one of the dancers, a girl that had a reputation among the dancers to get every man that she could with her looks. She was your typical blond with the blue eyes and the big boobs that could measure how much brain that she didn't have. Yeah, Shyisha knew that she wasn't the prettiest girl that walked the earth, but she had enough sense not to flaunt what she had to the guys, except maybe to one guy.
Shyisha thoughts were once again broken as Sam, her manager, called out for her to come onto the stage for her practice session. Shyisha picked up a notebook that she had been writing in and carried it over to where the piano was before handing a few copies to her band that had come on stage.
"Hey, guys, I wanna try this one for a sec," Shyisha said to them.
"Sure, girl," Dani, the guitar player of the group, said to her as he looked over the song.
As Shyisha went back to her seat at the piano, she noticed that AJ had stopped right next to it with an expression that said that he wanted to talk to her. "What's on your mind, Age?" she asked him as she sat down.
"Shy, we never spend that much time together any more. How about when we get back to the hotel, we spend the night eating while we watch a few movies and catch up on things?" he asked her as he looked down at his finger as he keep hitting one of the keys.
"Sure," she said to him. "You know where I will be."
"Cool, then, it's a date," he said to her before going off toward the side of the stage as Sam gave him an evil look. Shyisha softly laughed to herself before setting her fingers on the keys.
"Ready, guys," she asked them.
"We're ready," David, the drummer of her band, said before counting out. "One...two...three..."
The soft music started to play before Shyisha began to softly sing the song that she had written the previous night.
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
'Cause there was a time when all id did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or planned
But somehow it was enough
And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chanced had passed
You go and save the best for last
All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you
'Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see
And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chanced had passed
You go and save the best for last
Is the one thing you can't see
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
Just when I thought our chanced had passed
You go and save the best for last
During the song, Shyisha didn't notice that AJ never left the stage but sat down on the edge and listened to his best friend sing. As he listened to the words of the song, he noticed that she seemed to be talking to someone, but who?
Who is she thinking of? AJ thought to himself as he looked at the girl that had been his best friend for most of his life. Shyisha had been the one that got him through most of the things in his life: bad break-ups, kids making fun because of the lisp that he had, and through his entire career. She had been the one who had kept him sain the whole time.
But for the past few weeks, he had noticed something different about his best friend. Shyisha was not merely a friend anymore, but she was becoming the one that he dreamed of every night. He used to think that he was foolish, that she would never love him for more than a friend. But the past weeks, he had seen a change in the way she acts around him. She was still the crazy girl that he had been friends with for the past 18 years, but he had noticed that she would actually flirt with him, now. After years of friendly flirting, she was now flirting with him on a sexual base. Yes, their friendship was the type that they would tease each other about sex, but now, she was doing a little more than mere teasing. I guess I will know by tonight, he said to himself as he left the stage to find something to eat as his stomach gave a loud grumble.
Shyisha looked up as she finished her song and noticed that AJ was just now leaving the stage. OH MY GOSH, he heard it, she thought to herself. Now, he will know.
"Shyisha, that was great. We need to use that during the show tomorrow night," Sam said to her. "I want you to go back to the hotel and get some rest. And Shyisha, stay away from him. He's nothing but trouble for you."
"Excuse me, Sam, but I have been friends with AJ, longer than I have been being managed by you. I will chose who my friends will be and I will chose who I will be with. There's nothing that will change that," Shyisha said as she slammed down the lid to the piano before stalking off the stage as the rest of the band called out and whistled at her heroic speech. Sam had never been to fond of the idea that Shyisha was going to having the Backstreet Boys as her tour mates, but her record company knew that she could get her showing in the business if she was with them.
Later that night, Shyisha was sitting on her bed trying to write a new song as someone knocked on her door. "One minute," she said to the person as she stuck her notebook next to her bed before getting up to answer the door. Shyisha opened the door and was kinda shocked as she saw AJ standing there in cotton drawstring pajama pants with a silk robe opened over it. Ever since Sam had yelled at her, she had forgotten about her "date" with AJ for that night.
"Hey, girl. I got the movies and we just need to get food," he said to her as she let him in the room.
"Age, it's not a good time. Could we do this another day?" she said to him as she closed the door.
"Ahhh, baby girl, what's wrong?" he asked her as he set the stuff down near the TV.
"Nothing. Okay, it's something. Actually it's someone," she said to him as she sat down in one of the armchairs.
"Ahhh, sweetie, come on and tell Bone Daddy all about it," he said as he sat on the bed before taking her hands in his and softly rubbing them.
"It's Sam. He wants me to stay away from you, he says that you are trouble for me," she said to him.
"He what? What did you do?" he said to her.
"I told that I have been friends with you, longer than I had been being managed by him. I told him that I could chose the people that I wanted to be friends with and the people that I loved," Shyisha said to him before stopping as she knew that she had gone too far.
"People that you love?" AJ asked her as she stood up and walked to the large window looking into the night. He stood up and walked toward her as he spoke, "Shyisha, is there something you aren't telling me? Shy, please talk to me."
"Age, have you ever loved someone before, but you think that if you told that person that it would ruin what you have with them," she asked him.
"Yes, I do," he said to her as he softly wrapped his arms around her waist. He wasn't shocked at all as she leaned back into him.
"J, can I ask you who that was?" she asked him.
"Actually, she is feeling the same way, right now," he said before turning her around in his arms. He softly pushed a strand of her hair out of the way before softly saying, "Shyisha, what I am saying is that you are the person that I love more than anything else in the world?"
"I lov-," she tried to say to him before he softly placed his lips against hers in a feather soft kiss. She was shocked at first, but softly took his lips into a harder kiss as she ran her hand up his arm and laid her hand against his cheek.
"Wow," he said as they pulled apart breathless.
"Age?" she said as she was trying to catch her breath.
"Yeah," he said looking into her soft brown eyes with his own.
"I love you, too," she said to him, "but before we take this any further, we need to discuss a few things."
"You're right," he said as he lead her to the arm chair, where he sat down before softly pulling her to sit in his lap. "How about you go first?"
"Okay. I guess that we need to see where we stand in this? I mean are we friends, lovers, or what?" she asked him.
"Shy, you will always be my best friend, but I wouldn't mind being something else," he said to her.
"I feel the same way, but I do have to tell you one thing," she said to him.
"What's that, sweetie?" he said to her.
"I'm...I'm a virgin," she said to him.
"Baby, if you're not ready, we can just lay here and hold each other," he said to her.
"No, I mean, I am ready. I just wanted to tell you," she said to him.
"Shyisha, I am happy that you told me and I love you, if you are one or not," he said to her.
"Thank you," she said to him before softly whispering, "Age, would you please -" Shyisha's words were stopped by AJ's finger on her lips.
"Shh, sweetie, it would be my honor," he whispered to her before he softly stood them up. As they did, AJ slid one arm around her back and one supported her beneath her knees as he lifted her into his arms and carried her to the bed, gently laying her down.
She welcomed him on the bed with her lips parting his as their tongues meet in a hot war. AJ leaned into her, gently laying her down on her back before pulling the cover slightly over them. AJ broke their kiss as he slowly moved his lips down the curve of her neck, knowing that she loved the feeling of his lips brushing her throat, as she let out a soft moan. He softly brought his kisses to the plane between her breasts and softly kissed where he could feel her beating heart before turning his attention to her breast.
Shyisha let out a soft moan as he softly took one of her already hard nipples into his warm mouth before he softly began to lick, suck and kiss the one before turning to pay attention to the other. AJ softly kissed each nipple once more before moving down to the plane of her stomach, where he softly dipped his tongue into her belly button causing her to softly giggle.
Shyisha's giggles soon became gasps as AJ reached down and softly spread her knees before he lowered his head to the place that she wanted him the most. He softly spread her lower lips before softly blowing on her passion area. Shyisha softly moaned as he moved down and softly licked her sensitive area before thrusting his tongue into her. Shyisha ran her fingers through his hair as she was about to have the ride of her life before AJ stopped, not wanting her to find a release, yet. Shyisha was about to ask what was wrong, but knew the answer as she saw the passionate glow in AJ's eyes.
AJ softly crawled up her body, kissing certain wanted places before pressing his lips against hers. AJ softly positioned himself between her legs with his arms resting next to her, so not to lay too much weight on her, as he intertwined their fingers. AJ softly broke their kiss, letting his lips drift to her ear, where he softly whispered, "No one else comes close to you. No one makes me feel the way you do. You're so special girl to me, and you'll always be eternally. Every time I hold you near. You always say the words I long to hear. Girl with just a touch you can do so much. No one else comes close to you," AJ locked eyes with Shyisha and could see the glow of love in her eyes, knowing the answer to his unspoken question but spoke any ways.
"Baby, if you want me to stop, we can," he said to her softly.
"No, I want this," she said to him.
"Baby, this is gonna hurt a little, but we won't do anything until you tell me to. Okay?" he said to her before she softly nodded as her response.
Shyisha welcomed his soft lips against hers as she felt him slowly enter her. AJ could see a tear for in the side of her eye as her innocence was broken. He softly took his thumb and rubbed away the tear from her eye. Shyisha felt the pain of her breakage soon subside and softly bucked her hips against his, as if to say that she was ready for him.
AJ softly kissed her against the lips as he started to thrust against her, wanting this to last as long as possible. AJ softly began to kiss her neck as Shyisha's hips thrusted against his causing him to go faster and deeper into her. Shyisha softly wrapped her legs around his back, loving the feel of the up and downward motion of their bodies, but she softly began to moan as her climax began to come. Nick softly kissed her against her lips as he felt her begin to tighten around him, knowing that she would come soon. Shyisha softly groaned into his mouth as she came, causing him to go faster which brought his own release within her.
The tow of them softly kissed as they laid against each other, catching their breaths before Nick softly pulled out and rolled off her, not wanting to crush her. He easily pulled Shyisha up next to him before softly kissing her forehead as they settled down. The two of them softly whispered "I Love You" to each other before finally dozing off into a peaceful sleep in each other's arms after he had pulled the soft wool blanket over them.
