*~The Dream Of A Lifetime~*

“Loni,” Bobbie said, as the group walked in the back of the arena. “Nick is going to be so happy to see you. He’s worried sick.” “I called him and told him I’d be late,” Valondra said.

“Apparently he doesn’t care,” Bobbie said.

“Where are they?” Rachel asked.

“Out in the audience area taking a break,” Bobbie replied, as they all walked out to the audience area. The girls saw the guys sitting there and walked over. Nickolas was pacing back and forth and Valondra stood behind him and put her arms around his waist. He turned around surprised and she smiled. He sighed and hugged her.

“Thank the Lord you’re all right,” Nickolas said. “I thought something happened to you.”

“Sorry,” Valondra apologized, as Nickolas continued hugging her. “I didn’t mean to worry you, but I did call you.”

“I know, but you weren’t back and weren’t back and I worried,” Nickolas said and she hugged him in return. “I’m just glad you’re back and all right.”

“Sorry,” Valondra apologized again and Nickolas kissed her and the others just looked at them. “I’m perfectly fine.”

“Thank God,” Nickolas said and they all laughed at him. “What?”

“Nothing,” Kevin said, as they shook their heads.

“Sweet,” Charisma said and they all looked.

“Oh guys,” Valondra began, “this is Fox, Charisma, Storm, and Alyssa; Riz and Lys are sisters.” The girls smiled.

“Hello,” Alexander said walking over to the girls. “I’m Alex.”

“We know,” Alyssa said.

“Would you like me to show you around?” Alexander asked smiling.

“We’re good,” Storm replied.

“If ya change your mind just let me know,” Alexander stated and they nodded.

“Where’s Justin?” Antoinette asked.

“He and the others went to NYPD for something to eat,” Kevin replied.

“Eating in or taking out?” Antoinette wanted to know.

“In I believe,” Kevin stated.

“Then that’s where I’m going,” Antoinette said. “Anyone want to come with?”

“Me,” Storm said jumping at the chance to meet Lance. “I came all this way to meet one person and I’ll be damned if I leave without meeting him.”

“Anyone else?” Antoinette asked and they all shook their heads. “Ok then. We’ll see ya’s later.” They all waved and Antoinette and Storm walked away.

“Nick, you remember Fox right?” Valondra asked.

“Yeah,” Nickolas said. “How’s it going, man?”

“Good,” Fox said as they shook. “And you?”

“Great,” Nickolas said, as he smiled at Valondra and she smiled in return.

“I’m glad to hear things are going well between you two,” Fox said. “You’re a lucky man.”

“Thanks,” Nickolas said.

“Ya break her heart I’ll break your neck,” Fox said walking away and Nickolas looked at him.

“Don’t worry, Baby,” Valondra said. “He likes playing tough.” Nickolas just grinned and they sat down.

“So, Charisma,” Alexander began,” are you seeing anyone?”

“Alex, quit hitting on my friends already,” Valondra said.

“Loni, it’s cool,” Charisma said smiling. “And no I’m not seeing anyone.”

“Awesome,” Alexander said, as he and Charisma started a conversation.

“So, Princess,” Nickolas began taking her hand in his and kissing it.

“So, Teddy Bear,” Valondra said and he looked at her. “What?”

“Teddy Bear?” Nickolas repeated.

“Yeah,” Valondra said. “Why?”

“Do I look like a damn teddy bear?”

“But you’re my teddy bear.” She smiled and kissed him. “Teddy bears are so cute and adorable and that’s what you are. And when you hug me it’s like a big bear hug and very nice and it makes me feel so good.” She straddled him and kissed him again. “And you’re strong like a bear and so cuddly too.” She smiled.

“I love being compared to a bear.”

“I could be calling ya something mean like, um, uh…” She made a thinking face and Nickolas laughed.

“Ya can’t think of anything, because you’re not that mean.”

“Ya got me there.” He smiled. “Do you have to have a show tonight?”

“Yeah.”

“Can’t ya play sick and spend the night with me.”

“And do what?”

“Mmm…” She smiled. “I don’t know.”

“Give me a good reason and I’ll play sick.” She looked around and then whispered in his ear, “Ecstasy.” She looked at him and smiled before kissing him.

“Get a room you two,” Rachel said walking by and they just laughed.

“They’re just jealous, because their relationships aren’t as close as ours is, Babe,” Nickolas said.

“Exactly,” Valondra said and then looking at the others. “Their relationships are based on sex and nothing more.”

“Brian’s good in bed,” Rachel said.

“Too much info,” Valondra said shuddering at the thought.

“At least we don’t make out in front of everyone,” Lillie stated and Nickolas and Valondra just smiled. “We have respect for ourselves.”

“Yeah well at least with Nick and I you don’t hear strange noises coming from the bunk on the tour bus,” Valondra replied.

“She does have a point,” Kevin said and they all laughed.

“I’m sorry Nicky and I are in love and that’s such a problem for you,” Valondra said. “We’re not going to change for anyone.” She smiled and kissed Nickolas again just for spite and they all shook their heads. “If ya got a problem then go away and leave us alone.”

“Ya could always just get a room,” Howard said.

“It’s more fun this way,” Nickolas stated chuckling. “It’s a lot more exciting.”

“A lot more,” Valondra said. “And it’s so fun annoying the hell out of you guys when we do our PDA’s in front of you.”

“You’re funny,” Rachel said and Valondra smirked.
