Theresa woke to the familiar scents of bacon and eggs. She rolled over on the leopard print sheets and found the bed empty. She smirked softly as she tugged the sheets back up to her chin, remembering every bit of the previous night.
“What’s that devilish look for?” A raspy voice joined the room, causing her to sit up and smile at her lover, who carried a tray with an assortment of breakfast foods.
“Hmm, just thinking some naughty thoughts. Yum, is that breakfast? I’m starved.” She wrapped the smooth sheets around her torso tightly and leaned back against the headboard.
“Yep. We’ve got eggs, sunny-side up and bacon, orange juice, toast, and finally some very ripe strawberries. Sound good?” Aj grinned, sitting the tray down over her lap and kissed her forehead. She nodded in response and bit off a piece of the bacon. Aj sat down in front of her and studied her every detail. She was gorgeous in the morning, her hair in golden tangles about her head and her lips sleep swollen. He smiled at the thought of waking every morning to that picture.
“Now what are you smiling about?” She inquired, meeting his eyes.
“I’m smiling ‘cause of you.”

The most wonderful feeling in the world woke me. My eyes fluttered open to the sensations I had felt the night before, meeting two brilliant blue orbs. I felt my cheeks flush with pink, as I realized what his hand was doing. One long finger slipped easily into my moist body, causing my head to spin. Nick’s breath rasped at my ear, moving a bit closer to me to continue his ministrations. The air caught in my throat as another finger joined the movements of the first. His thumb was softly massaging me too, adding to the euphoria that was wrapping around me.
My hands gripped his biceps tightly, my hips arching to meet his hand. His lips massaged my neck, closing over the soft spot by my ear and sucking there gently. My entire body tensed as his hand moved more surely against me, the weight of his torso over my body keeping me to the bed. My fingers tangled into his hair as I got closer to the point of rapture. Purring and growling sounds pushed themselves from my throat, cheering Nick on. Suddenly lightening struck through my bones, and a soft cry erupted from my throat, trying to form Nick’s name.
I could barely move as I caught my breath. Nick’s lips moved down my shoulders and caressed my breast with his tongue. I felt completely relaxed and content. As the feeling returned to my sated body, Nick moved back up to my face, kissing my cheek first.
“Good morning Babygirl. Sleep well?” he murmured brushing his nose against mine. I just nodded, encircling my arms around his waist. I stretched beneath him, trying to pull out the tightness still in my thighs. I let out a soft yawn and curled closer to his body. “What would you like to do today?”
“Mmm, stay right here, in your arms.” I smiled, burying my head beneath his chin. He chuckled softly and hugged me closer to him.
“Sounds good to me…”

After taking a long shower, Theresa slid into a pair of cut off khaki shorts and a plain white tank, she slowly brushed back her hair as memories flooded back from last night. Sighing in content, she closed her eyes and smiled.
"God he was great." She said aloud.
"Why thank you."
Jumping at the sudden voice, Theresa opened her eyes and looked at the figure through the mirror. "I…I didn’t know you were standing there." She stuttered, her cheeks turning a shade of light pink.
"What can I say, I love to surprise people." Aj chuckled, his raspy voice sounding smooth.
"I didn’t hurt you too bad last night, did I?" Theresa asked standing up from the vanity and looking towards him.
"Nah! Not at all." He winked turning around and pulling his T-shirt over his head, to reveal his scratch mark covered back.
"Oh…I am so sorry." Theresa giggled placing a hand over her mouth as Aj pulled on a different button down shirt.
"Don’t worry about it. I won’t forget about last night anytime soon." Aj stated walking towards her and grabbing a hold of her hands. "Hmm…what could we do today?"
"Well I’ve gotta start packing, me and Steph are leaving in a few days…" Theresa sighed noticing Aj’s eye’s darken.
"Oh ok…um…I’ll be in the study is you need me." Dropping her hands, he quickly exited the room leaving Theresa standing there confused.

Nick and I drove back towards Alex’s house after stopping by Pizza Hut for a late breakfast/brunch. Both of us were jamming to the oldies on the radio and began singing along as ‘Down Under’ by Men at Work came on. As he continued to sing and watch for Alex’s street, reality sunk in. I suddenly realized how much I would miss him when Theresa and I left. I was headed back to New York in two days, and probably would not see him again for months. ‘We’ll keep in touch! I won’t let this go…’ I promised myself, feeling the familiar stinging behind my eyes. I turned away from looking at Nick and stared at the blur of colors outside my window.
I guess Nick noticed my change in moods, because he switched off the radio and touched my arm,
“Hey, Babygirl what’s the matter?” he asked, slowly petting my thumb with his until I unclenched my fist.
I blinked back the tears forming in my eyes and turned towards him with a smile.
“I guess I’m still tired. You really wore me out.”
He shrugged, not really looking convinced with my answer but chose not to push the subject yet. He remained quiet, until finally I had to turn back on the radio to escape the silence.
We finally pulled up to the house, still only humming along with the songs blaring from the radio. Nick jumped out of the Durango and hurried around to open my door for me. We headed up the walkway to Alex’s front door and before I even touched the doorknob, Nick turned me to face him.
“Come on tour with me…”
“What?” My dark brown eyebrows knitted together as he repeated his sentence.
“Come on tour with me, please.” His voice was so serious, I held back a small sob and smiled.
“Nick, I’ve got a job in New York that I have to return to in two days. Please don’t do this to me now…”
“What do you mean don’t do this now? Now is all I’ve got to keep you with me!” Nick’s voice dropped an octave mid-sentence. “I’ll put in a word with Donna and have her suggest to MTV to that it would be so cool if they did a On Tour with BSB sorta thing. That way we get time together, you become a valued member of the MTV staff and the fans are happy too.”
“I don’t know if they would even let a girl go on tour with you and plus the cameras would be every where so we would have no time together whatsoever.” I countered, feeling his grip get a bit tighter on my shoulders as he tried not to get frustrated.
“Why won’t you even give us a chance? If we let everyone know now, then you could take some time off and stay on tour with me for a little while…”
“You seem to be forgetting that my job includes facing your fans everyday, and if they don’t like the fact that I’m dating you, then its my fault half of the audience is gone!”
“Then quit God damn it! I just want you with me…”
“Nick, you can come up to New York every once and a while and I’ll come see you when I can and that’s how we’re going to have to make it work! And I know we can make it work…”
Nick gave up I guess because in the next second he kissed me with everything he had and released me, entering Aj’s house. I followed behind him quietly, spotting Aj and Theresa sitting on the couch watching cartoons of some sort.
“Hey Baby Cuz, what’s up?” Alex asked, noticing my flushed face and dazed expression.
“Oh not much. Trease, did you start packing yet?” I questioned, sitting down beside her. She just nodded and turned back to watch Scooby Doo. I noticed their too distant attitudes but decided not to impinge on their relationship unless they willingly wanted to talk.
