A couple of hours later, Robbie has his arm around me and we’re standing by a taxi. A group of girls giggle at us and take some pictures. Robbie groans and leans in to whisper to me.
“Welcome to the Robbie Williams’ Girlfriends’ Club.”
“Huh?”
“Well, those pictures will be all over the net by tomorrow and you will become my latest squeeze.”
“Hm,” I giggle. “I guess I can live with that.”
“I could too,” he smiles at me. “Except, of course, for the fact you’re American.”
“Of course!” I laugh and climb inside the car.
Robbie bends down to lean in my window. “So, see you tonight.”
“Yup.”
“You think maybe you could be my guide?”
“Sure! You can meet Ali too.”
“Cool. Ok, until tonight then. Bye Jade,” he kisses my cheek and waves me off.
I smile to myself and settle back in the car seat. I really like Robbie. He’s gorgeous, funny, intelligent and has the power to melt me just by singing Angels. Plus, that English accent… I giggle happily and gaze out of the window. A few minutes later, we pull up to the hotel and I limp inside. Nick and Ali are checking out the noticeboard so I join them.
“Hey guys.”
“Hey Jady,” Ali smiles at me.
“So what was the verdict?” Nick asks me, eyeing up my ankle.
“Ah, just a sprain. He told me to rest it for a few days and then start walking on it even though it’ll probably hurt like hell.”
Nick chuckles. “Way to make ya feel better.”
“Yup.” I start hopping a little, “Yeowch, it hurts when I lean on it!”
“Come here,” Nick wraps an arm around me and Ali takes my other side. The three of us head towards the elevators. Just as we reach them, Brian steps out.
“Hey Jady, you’re back. That looks sore,” he points to my ankle.
“Just a bit,” I tell him. “I need to go rest it.”
“Come here,” he steps forward and swoops me up into his arms. “See y’all later,” he tells Nick and Ali. He carries me into the elevator. Five minutes later, I’m deposited on the bed and Brian finds an ice-pack for my ankle. He comes to sit next to me with a grin. “You must be the most accident-prone person EVER on this tour.”
“Hey, neither times were TOTALLY my fault,” I protest. “Nick ran into me and need I remind you about the basketball?”
“Ok, ok, point taken,” he blushes slightly. “How was your interview?”
“Great! I just love Robbie, he makes me laugh.”
“He does?” Brian raises an eyebrow and lies down on the bed.
“And he’s coming to the show tonight. I have to meet him at the door at 7pm.”
“Great,” he says flatly.
Brian heads into the green room where Nick and AJ are playing on the pinball machines.
“Hey guys,” he sits down.
“Want a game?” asks AJ.
“Naw,” Brian stretches out. “Say, you guys know anything about this Robbie guy?”
“Robbie Williams?” Nick thinks for a while. “Nup, except that Jade has a thing for him.”
“Jade does?” asks AJ.
“What?” says Brian.
“Ali told me,” Nick shrugs. “I know nothin’ else.”
“Oh perfect,” Brian mutters, heading out of the room as Ali walks in.
“What’s with him?” Ali kisses Nick’s neck, making him lose the game.
“Thanks Ali,” he says sarcastically. “Oh he’s just pissed about that Robbie guy.”
“Nick told him Jade has a thing for him,” says AJ helpfully.
“Nick!” Ali smacks his arm lightly. “You really gotta learn that thing called diplomacy.”
“Diplo- what?”
“Dip-lo-ma-cy,” AJ spells out slowly. “It means you don’t go tellin’ people who their girls have things for.”
“Hey Robbie!” I wave him over and smile at Will, the security guy. “It’s ok. He’s with me.”
“Brian know that?” jokes Will.
“Sure he does,” I laugh and give Robbie a hug. “Good to see you again.”
“You too. How’s the ankle?”
“Sore,” I pull a face. “But I’m not planning on dancing tonight so I’ll be fine.”
“Cool,” he grins. “So, I wanna meet the Boys. Especially Bob…”
I giggle and lead him along the corridor to the green room. AJ, Ali and Nick are inside. They look up at us as we enter. “Guys, this is Robbie Williams.”
“Or you could try Bob,” he says with a wink at Ali.
“Hi Bob,” she visibly swoons and I shoot her an I-told-you-so look.
“I’m guessing you’re Ali. The room-mate.”
“That’s me,” she giggles as he shakes her hand.
“These two are AJ and Nick,” I point the two guys out and Robbie goes to shake their hands.
“Backstreet Boys, good to meet youse.”
“You too Robbie,” AJ grins. “I bought your album last time I was over Europe-way. Pretty damn cool.”
“Thanks!” Robbie beams at him.
“And that Rock DJ video rocks!” AJ starts miming pulling off his flesh and the three of us who have seen the video laugh. Nick just looks confused. “Did it get banned?”
“Nup, just shifted to late-night TV. I made the fucking thing to be banned!” Robbie shakes his head and laughs. “I guess I’ll have to try full-on sex next time.”
“Well, I guess you have two volunteers right there,” AJ points me and Ali out.
Ali blushes and I’m pretty sure I did the same. Robbie looks amused and I recover as quickly as I can, shooting AJ my best drop-dead look.
“Well, Robbie… Shall we go find the other three Boys?”
“Sure. I wanna meet Bob,” he tells AJ and Nick.
“My dad?” Nick asks, confused.
“Your dad’s called Bob? Hey, mine too,” Robbie grins.
“Mine three,” says AJ.
“Let’s go find Bob,” I say, leading him out of the room.
“I’ll come with,” Ali follows us eagerly.
“So Ali, who’d you shoot today?”
“Today? Oh, just the Boys. But I’ve done a lot of people.”
“Yeah? Cool. Maybe you should do me… How do you feel about naked men in Jacuzzis?”
Ali stares at him for a second and then bursts out laughing. We reach the wardrobe room and head inside. Kevin, Brian and Howie are all struggling with their boots.
“I swear mine shrank overnight!” complains Howie.
“Maybe I grew?” Brian says hopefully.
“Did we get the wrong sizes?” Kevin pants.
“Uh guys?” They all look up at me and stand up, half in and out of their boots. “This is Robbie.”
“Hello. I would guess at wrong sizes,” Robbie grins.
Kevin laughs. “Makes sense.”
“These are Kevin, Howie and Brian,” Ali does the introductions and they all shake hands.
“Good to meet,” Robbie says. “Especially you Brian. Jade’s told me a lot about you.”
“Yeah? She talks a lot about you too,” Brian looks wary.
“Should I be scared?” Robbie looks at me and I blush slightly.
“Nup, it’s all good,” I say.
“Better than good,” giggles Ali.
“Be scared,” says Howie with a wink. He checks out his boots. “Jeez, these are size 41!”
“I have 38s!” says Brian. “I’m not THAT short ya know.”
“Aw sweetie,” I wrap my arms around him with a laugh. “You’re nothin’ BUT short.”
“Hey, I’m taller than YOU,” he shoots back at me but I can tell he’s beginning to soften. He looks up at Robbie exaggeratedly. “Is it cold up there?”
“Sure is,” Robbie’s entire 6ft1 frame shivers and everyone laughs.
“That’s gotta suck,” Brian sighs, wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing me. “So what if he could play pro b-ball…”
“Pro b-ball?” asks Robbie.
“Basketball,” explains Ali. “Brian and Nick are OBSESSED with it.”
“Ok…” Robbie says slowly and then laughs. “Sounds like me and footie.”
“Oh man, I’m big on soccer too!” says Kevin happily.
“Soccer?!” Robbie rolls his eyes. “Hey, we invented this language you guys are massacring and it’s FOOTBALL.”
“Oops,” laughs Kevin. “Say, we got a ball out back…”
“Say no more!” Robbie grins and follows Kevin out of the room. Howie trails after them and Ali giggles at me.
“I feel a yen to go watch some soccer,” she winks and disappears.
“So, whose team am I on?” I ask, putting my hands on my hips. In return I catch three sceptical looks.
“Umm, Ali-”
“Come on, Kev. For once can you NOT be the sexist pig I know you are and let me play.”
“You can be on my team,” Howie speaks up.
“Thanks, but I’m warning you two,” I point to Robbie and Kevin, “I’m a little rough. I mean, I HAVE been playing since I was 9.”
Kevin and Robbie exchange a knowing glance and a small chuckle, which does not go unnoticed by me. Kevin kicks off and Robbie runs behind me to kick the ball. I chase after him and knock into him, knocking us both to the ground.
“Oops,” I laugh and pull him up. “Told you.”
“Can we continue please?” Kevin asks, eyeing me with disgust.
I swear, I don’t know what it is with me and Jade, but I think he has it out for us. Actually, he’s quite warming up to Jade, it’s mainly me he has a problem with.
“Umm, without me. I’ll just watch from the sidelines. That’s where us girls belong, right Kev?” I walk over to a small chair and drop down into it.
Without paying any attention, they continue their game. After a few minutes the guys get tired and Howie comes over to talk to me. Kevin and Robbie go off alone to chat.
“She’s…friendly, isn’t she?” Robbie asks, pointing to Ali with a grimace.
“Yes, she IS hitting on you if that’s what you’re wondering. She’s boy crazy, don’t mind her. She even has a boyfriend.”
“Jade does too,” Robbie mumbles.
“Yeah, he’s my cousin.”
Robbie laughs, “So, I’ve heard.” He walks off toward a pouting Ali, and a gentle Howie trying to comfort her. Kevin just stands there confused.
I watch Ali chase after the guys with a laugh and turn round to put my arms around Brian’s neck. He’s looking pretty serious but I’m not in the mood for seriousness so I gently stroke the skin on the back of his neck. I know it’s his weak spot and after a couple of seconds his eyes close and he moans softly. I move closer and kiss his lips, slipping my tongue inside his hot mouth. He wraps his tongue around mine and runs his hand up under my shirt, slipping underneath my bra. My hands are underneath his stage costume, one hand dipping below his belt line. He gasps as I make contact with him and pulls me even closer against his body. I step away from him and his eyes open. His blue eyes are now dark with desire and I smile as I back away to the door. Feeling behind me for the lock, I close the door and lock it. Brian smiles as I walk back over to him.
“You didn’t think I’d leave this half-finished?” I ask as he wraps his fingers in my hair.
“You couldn’t,” he responds, kissing me hard and then reaching to undo my shirt. As he slips it off me I push him back onto the couch and lower myself down onto him so that I’m straddling him. I reach for his shirt and pull it off over his head.
“You really must stop over-dressing Bri honey,” I whisper as I lean down and slip my tongue in his ear.
He groans and writhes underneath me, desperate to be free of his pants. I nibble softly on his ear lobe. His hands reach up to unhook my bra and he covers my breasts, reaching up to take each nipple in his mouth. I moan and arch my back as he flicks his tongue around my hard nipples. I reach for his belt and undo it. He lifts us both up as he arches away from the couch to pull down his pants and boxers in one quick move. His hands travel up my skirt and pull down my knickers. I settle myself on top of him again and wrap my arms around him. His hands move up to smooth my hair back off my flushed face. Our eyes lock as he pushes inside of me. We both bite back loud groans as we find our natural rhythm. We rock slowly at first but fast become more urgent. I arch my back against his bare chest and Brian takes my nipple in his hot mouth. Licking it and pulling on it until I feel like I can take no more. I run my hands down his chest and trace circles around his nipples with my fingers before kissing him hard. Our tongues enter each others’ mouths as our rhythmic thrusts become faster and harder. I lean back on him, breaking the kiss and closing my eyes as I moan loudly. This is it. It doesn’t get any better. I feel him arch underneath me as he joins me in my orgasm and the two of us cling to each other throughout the storm, dropping down into each other’s arms like waves spent on a beach. We sit like this until we can breathe again.
When we’re both fully dressed again, Brian unlocks the door and we step outside, holding hands. Kevin, Howie, Robbie and Ali are standing there staring at us.
“Why’d you lock the door?” asks Howie.
“I think we can guess…” says Robbie with a dirty grin.
“Oh!” Howie blushes but that’s nothing compared to the colour both me and Brian just went. Ali giggles and Kevin snickers.
“Well, I think these guys need to be ready to perform… In the stage sense that is,” insinuates Robbie. “So I was hoping you girls would take me to my seat.”
“I sure hope Bri isn’t TOTALLY tired out,” Ali says innocently.
“Shut up already,” I blush even deeper as they all laugh. Kevin and Howie walk towards their dressing rooms with a chuckle and Brian pulls me close for a long kiss.
“I love you Jady,” he says in my ear before turning around and following his friends.
“Ok, let’s move already,” I tell Ali and Robbie who are looking extremely amused. “Nothin’ to see here,” I throw over my shoulder.
“Would I have been old enough to do the seeing?” ponders Robbie to a gasp of giggles from Ali.
A noise wakes me up and I sit up in the darkness, listening intently for the sound to come again. When it does I realise it’s Brian’s voice.
“I’ll be the one.”
“The one what honey?” I ask sleepily, lying down again. There’s no response and I look at him. He’s still asleep. I must’ve been imagining it so I close my eyes.
“I don’t want courgettes.” I open my eyes and stifle a giggle as I realise Brian’s sleep-talking. “Get them away from me! Courgettes are yucky. And take that gherkin off my burger… I MEAN it… I’ll go tell Jade and we’ll leave the room… We SO will… No, I’m still the one Nick… Throw the courgettes at the sun and it’ll start raining…”
