Kevin and I looked around at apartments all day, but didnt see anything that was livable. It was either grundgy or too small or too big. Finally, they were at their last choice, some apartments that Kevin said was close to his house. Big plus already. When we walked into the office, I noticed that it was a well kept place. Kevin rang the bell and we waited patiently for someone to assist us.
“Can I help you?” asked a young, beautiful woman walking up to the desk.
“Uh, yes, do you have any apartments available?” I asked, slightly jealous at how Kevin was obviously gawking at her. I shook the jeaoulsy away and focused on getting an apartment.
“Yeah, what were you interested in?” she asked.
“Two bedroom, living room, dining room, kitchen,” I explained.
“Oh, someone just moved out of an apartment fitting that description about a week ago,” she informed.
“Could I look at it?” I asked. Kevin, stood remaining speechless next to me.
“Sure, come on,” she said leading the way out of the office. I looked up at Kevin and noticed he was staring at the way her body moved from side to side as she walked towards the vacant apartment.
I took a deep breath and tried to ignore the jeaoulsy. She opened the door of the apartment and we walked in behind her. It was nice. Cozy, I guess you could say. I smiled, I did like this place. It was really cute. I started to mentally decorate the apartment. I smiled and looked at the lady.
“I like it,” I smiled.
A Week Later~
“Thank you so much Kevin for helping me move in,” I sighed plopping down on the couch. I yawned exhausted. All my furniture and belongings were now in the apartment. We had spent the entire day doing this.
There was a knock on my door as soon as Kevin sat down next to me. I groaned and got up. I opened the door, smiling, but it soon turned into a frown.
“What the fuck are you doing!” Rob shouted from in front of me. I slammed the door quickly, leaning against it, while I locked it. Kevin had jumped up and was by my side.
“How the hell did he get out?” I asked scared.
“I dont know,” Kevin whispered.
Rob pounded on the door as tears began to fill my eyes. I rushed over to the phone and dialed the apartment security. When the security arrived, Rob was still pounding on the door. They forced him to leave, but my heart was still beating rapidly.
“Are you ok?” Kevin asked.
“No,” I whimpered. Kevin pulled me into a comforting hug. I felt so secure and safe in his arms. I felt so complete. I could never tell that to him though. I wasnt even sure I could trust Kevin. I mean sure I could trust him, him and I have become incredibly close, but I dont know if I could trust him in a relationship.
“Its ok, Micki. Im here. I wont let anything happen to you,” he promised. The words went through my ears and straight to my heart. I stopped the tears from falling and just relaxed myself in his embrace. It felt so natural.
“Would you like me to stay tonight?” he asked.
“If you dont mind,” I said looking up at him.
“Sure, I have to leave early in the morning though. Me and the guys are recording tomorrow,” he told me.
“Great. Thanks so much Kevin,” I sighed.
“Sure,” he said. I then realized I was still in his arms and I reluctunaly pulled away from him, freeing myself from his embrace.
“So, where am I going to sleep?” he asked.
“Uh, hmm, I dont know,” I said looking down at the small clearing on the couch. Other than the small space at the end, the couch was covered with boxes and bags.
“Well, I’ll need to go get some clothes, why dont you come wth me?” he asked.
I nodded and grabbed my purse. He took my hand as we walked out of the apartment. I made sure I locked it and we walked to his car. My heart was pounding at the feeling of holding his hand, but it was a feeling I didnt want to end.
He opened the door for me and I got in. He drove us to his rather large home and we walked up to his front door. His home was beautiful. This was the first time I had seen it.
“Make yourself comfortable, I’ll be right down,” he said running up the stairs. I sat down on the couch and looked around at all the pictures and all the smiles. I stopped as soon as I saw him standing blissfully with a beautiful girl. She was short, at least compared to him, but then again, who isnt? She had long blonde hair with thick curls. She was just beautiful. I stood up and walked over to the picture to look at it closely.
It looked like they were at a theme park or something. Her cheeks were pink and Kevin’s olive skin was darker than usual. It was definitly a younger Kevin.
“Are you ready?” Kevin asked appearing in the living room. I quickly turned around and smiled.
“Who’s this?” I asked.
“An old girlfriend,” he said frowning. I looked at him questionly, but did ask anything.
“Oh,” I sighed and we walked out of his house and went back to my apartment.
“I guess we’ll have to share a bed tonight,” I said trying to sound as casual as possible.
“Are you sure? I can sleep on the floor,” he suggested.
“No, really. Im cool with it if you are?” I asked looking up at him.
“Im cool with it,” he smiled. I led him back to the bedroom where he sat his things down in a corner.
“Im going to change. I am so tired,” I yawned walking off towards the bathroom.
I changed into red silk boxers and a read silk tank top. Something I bought after Rob went to jail.
I walked back into the bedroom and saw Kevin laying down watching tv in nothing but his boxers. I took a deep breath and walked over to the bed and layed down next to him. He leaned over and turned off the lamp that was lighting up the room off. Now, the only thing that lit up the room was the glow from the tv.
“So, Kevin, what happened with that girl in the picture?” I asked catiously. I was curious, but I didnt want to offend him.
“She left me once the Backstreet Boys got big in the US. She said she couldnt handle all of the pressure of being with someone she couldnt physically be with as much as she wanted,” he explained. I layed facing him and our faces were only inches apart.
“Oh, Im sorry. It must be hard meeting girls now, huh?” I asked.
“Its not meeting them, its really truly trusting them,” he told me.
“Yeah, I know what you mean, in different terms,” I smiled.
“Yeah,” he smiled back .
“I cant understand why anyone would want to hurt you,” I said, almost in a whisper. It was obvious I had feelings for Kevin. I had to be sure I could trust him first though. He hasnt given me any reason so far to not trust him.
“I was just thinking the same about you,” he chuckled.
“I dont know what I did to make Rob do this to me,” I said looking down.
“Its not your fault Micki. He obviously has problems,” Kevin told me.
“Yeah,” I agreed.
“I would never hurt you,” Kevin said softly.
My head snapped up and I looked at him. I was shocked, but happy he said that. He looked into my eyes and my lips curved into a smile.
Kevin leaned in, closing the gap between us, pressing his lips to mine.
