“Hey babe, when are you going to finish up in there?” I heard Nick’s voice yell.
“I dunno why?” I yelled back rubbing the bubbles along my smooth legs.
“I’ve gotta piss.”
“Just come on in, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before.” I giggled lightly as I watched the door slowly open.
“Damn baby, if I knew you’d look that good, I would of joined ya.” He whistled moving my towel from the toilet lid, then raising it while undoing his zipper. I just blushed at his comment and moved further down into the water, all of a sudden shy of my body. “Well I’m leaving now, don’t be doing anything nasty in here without me.”
“I won’t.” I giggled as he left leaving me alone again. Staring down at my pink colored painted toes, my mind started to wonder onto Brian. We had a lot of fun earlier that night, and we shared a lot of memories that I had seemed to have forgotten. But there was this one questioned that had stuck out in my mind. He had asked me how to tell someone that they were in love with them. I remember asking him if it was Jennifer, but he had laughed and told me that he started to feel something for someone else. But all of the rest I forgot, it kind of made me uncomforted listening to him talk on and on about this girl.
“THERESA!” I heard Nick yell again.
“WHAT?” I screamed back finally climbing out of the tub and wrapping the towel around my soap-filmed body.
“Phone?” He smiled at me as I walked out of the bathroom.
“Who?”
“Steph…”
“Tell her I’ll call her back in thirty.” Nick just nodded and told her before hanging the phone back up. Looking back up at me, he smiled and stood for the bed. “What are you thinking?” I giggled walking into one of the walls of the room as he walked closer towards me.
“Hmm…I’m thinking nasty thoughts.” He winked ripping the towel from my body and taking me in his arms kissing me passionately.
“Ohh…naughty.” I giggled as he picked me up and tossed me onto the bed. I knew what he wanted.
-Next day at the concert-
Sitting in my normal seat at the concert, Stephanie and I were constantly begged to get fans backstage and stuff like that, but tonight was different. They actually didn’t bother us and we got to watch the show.
“I want it that way.” I sang along with Stephanie as the guys joked around on stage. All of a sudden I felt something hit me in the back of the head. Looking behind me, I noticed a little black and white Panda Bear lying in the floor. Picking it up and smiled as I tossed it on the stage, I knew a fan was dying to give it to A.J. A.J smiled my way when the bear hit his leg then went on with the show.
“Tell me why?” I giggled dancing around like a doofis, as Stephanie looked at me strange. “What? I’m just getting down.”
“Ok.” Stephanie rolled her eyes and continued to laugh at me. Finally tired of dancing, I sat back down in my seat and finished watching the show.
“You are my fire, the one desire, believe me when I say I want it that way…” Brian sang coming over to where Stephanie and I were sitting. Looking around I was hoping that he wasn’t singing to me cause he was staring in my direction. Behind me, I could hear girls behind me screaming. Looking back up, I locked eyes with Brian and felt something deep inside me burn with desire. Was I becoming attracted to him? I didn’t know, but if I was, I had to stop it.
“I’ll be back.” I yelled at Stephanie. Stephanie just nodded as I stood from my seat. I had to get out of there. Running into one of the dressing rooms, I sat down on the vacant couch and felt myself cry. I really felt something for him, but I didn’t want to. He was my best friend.
-Later that night-
I left the arena early, trying to sneak away from Brian, but I knew it wouldn’t last long, cause he’d soon find me. But I wanted to be away long enough to collect my thoughts.
“Theresa?” I heard him, his voice sounded so sweet and loving, I wanted him at that moment. “Theresa?” He said again knocking on my hotel room door again. “Are you in there?”
Sighing I reached for the doorknob and opened the door slowly. “Yeah, I’m here.” I smiled as he came into view. He was clad in a white wife-beater and a pair of khaki pants and his golden hair was slightly curly and lying flat.
“Are you not feeling well? Cause Stephanie said that you left during the concert.” Brian stated concern clear in his voice as he entered my room and shut the door behind him slowly.
“I’m fine, I just…I just…felt a little ill at my stomach.” I lied. I felt fine just scared of falling in love with my best friend.
“Are you sure?” He questioned raising his hand to my forehead and touching it. “You feel a little warm, nothing serious.”
“I told you I was fine. Maybe I’m…” I trailed off moving his hand from my head and staring into his eyes, “just tired.” I finished and right then and there I knew what was happening, my body started leaning towards his. I wanted this to happen.
“Then… you should get…” He cut himself off as his lips came in contact with mine. They were soft and as his tongue caressed mine, it felt gentle and loving. Wrapping my arms around his neck I felt him snake his around my waist pulling me closer.
“What the fuck!” I heard Nick scream.
‘Shit!’ I thought pulling from Brian quickly looking up at my boyfriend. “Nick…I can explain…”
“Shut up! How could you do this to me?” Nick yelled walking towards me his face red from the anger. “And you…” He trailed off pointing at Brian, “you’re my best friend.”
“Nick man, it was…”
“GET OUT!” He hollered pushing him towards the door and into the hallway. Slamming the door in Brian’s face, he turned to me and started to cry. “Where did I go wrong Theresa?”
“Nick, baby, it was an accident. I promise.” I cried falling to my knees in front of him. “I love you so much, I would never purposely hurt you.”
“Why? What made you?” He sobbed staring down at me. He was starting to scare me, his fist was becoming tight and his knuckles were turning white from the pressure.
“I’m so sorry.” I apologized cupping my head in my hands letting them soak my tears.
“Get out…” He trailed off. “GET OUT!” He screamed when I didn’t the first time. Looking up at him, I knew he was serious. Wiping away my tears, I stood to my feet and headed for the door. Before I left, I looked back at Nick and watched him collapse to his knees against the bed. Leaving the room, I headed down the hall to Brian’s room. I needed to talk to him. Cause I knew Nick and mines relationship was over.
