*Two days later*
Stacey and Kevin were still visiting appartements because Kevin was always finding default at every houses they were visiting. Stacey thought it was funny because she haven't found a house or appartement she really liked. They were now in the bedroom of a beautiful small house right on the beach. Stacey really liked it and she was waiting for Kevin's comments about it. She was looking at the beach by the big bay window.
"What do you think about it? I think I found it! It's so beautiful!" Stacey exclaimed.
"Well..." he said.
"What again?" she asked turning back to face him. "What default does it have?"
"Well... I don't know..." he replied looking around the room and walking closer to her to look by the window.
"You don't know??"
"Don't you feel something..." he asked looking all over the room again.
"No I just smell your parfum!" she laughed because he was close to her.
"Except my parfum! Don't you feel a magnetism?"
"A what???" she asked confused.
"Magnetism... like... like..."
"Like???"
"Like this..." he said looking deeply in her eyes.
"Like what?" she asked nervously.
"Like this.." he whispered before to put his lips on hers.
"Um...Kev.." she said trying to pull him back, not too sure if the kiss was sincere.
"Sssshhh!" he replied taking her face in his hands still looking in her eyes and he kissed her passionately again. She kissed him back and put her arms around his waist. When they broke the kiss Kevin looked at her with a huge smile as she looked at him not too sure of why he had kissed her.
"What was that for?" she asked really not sure of what the kiss meant to him.
"It wasn't clear?" he asked with a huge smile.
"I'm not sure..." she said. "You can kiss me for fun...it's okay but what the kiss really meant to you?"
"You really think I kissed you for fun?"
"I don't know... you're a heartbroken man... maybe it was just a testosterone impulse!" she said.
"You're serious?" he asked with a big smile.
"Well...yeah..who knows?!?" she answered. Kevin looked at her and bursted out laughing at what she had just said.
"You think it's funny?"
"Yeah!" he exclaimed. "You're too good to be true!"
"What do you want me to think? It's been 2 month that you're divorce and you kiss another woman... it could be only a testosterone impulse!" she replied seriously.
"What if it's not that? What if I'm attracted by you since the first time we met? It couldn't be right for you?" he said. Stacey was out of word and just kept looking at him not believing what he was saying. "You can tell me if you don't feel the same about me..."
"Did I say something?" she smiled.
"No ... that's the point! I know you might been scared that my feelings are not real but I really feel something special about you.."
"I just don't want to screw up everything..again... I don't wanna hurt you.. I don't wanna lose you...you're a good friend and if love isn't for us I don't wanna lose your friendship!"
"Can't you see I really feel something for you? I wouldn't have ask you to live with me and I wouldn't have found tons of defaults to all the beautiful houses we visited!" he said with a little giggle at the last sentence he had said.
"I believe you but...I'm insecure..."
"I know...that's why I didn't make a move until now! You don't know how many nights I wanted to join you in your room!" he laughed. She smiled shyly at him. "You're so gorgious!"
"Is it really what you want?" she asked.
"Hell yeah!" Kevin shouted. "I'm ready to start a new life and I want to start it with you!"
"How can you be so sure of youself?"
"Cause...I kinda heard you talking on the phone with Leighanne..."
"What?? You spy on me?" she laughed.
"No! Of course not! I was going to ask you what you wanted to eat for dinner but I heard my name so... I didn't say a word and...listened..." he confessed. She smacked him gently on the arms.
"I feel so stupid!" she said.
"You don't have to! It just prove me that I had to do the first move. I didn't know how to do it."
"That's why you always found something bad at every houses we were visiting?"
"Yeah! I couldn't sleep of the night because of this!" he laughed. "I want you to stay with me...in my house!" he added seriously.
"Don't think we should take things slow?"
"Yeah but...you already lived with me for like...1 month so why not one more...and one more... and one more... "
"Ok I've got it..." she laughed.
"So what do you think?"
"I think... we should take things slow and see what's gonna happen..."
"And if I'm getting on your nerves, you just come back here and buy this beautiful house!"
"Yeah I guess so! It's so strange..." she said, shy.
"What?"
"It's the first time something like that happen to me!" she smiled.
"Just that??"
"What??" she asked confused.
"Do you remember your Backstreet Initiation?" he asked. "Who thought we'd really fall for each other? Isn't it strange?" he smiled.
"Oh God! I wanted to forget about this! I was so embarrassed!"
"Well now you shouldn't be!" he said before to kiss her again. "Let's go home now!" he added taking her hand.
*Meanwhile at Aj's*
Becky, Naomie, Aj, Howie and Carly were all at Aj's house hanging out. They were in the backyard, fooling around the pool, listening to music.
"Nam! Sing something!" Becky shouted.
"What? I won't sing!" Naomie told her.
"She's singing so great guys! You should hear her! You'd love her voice!" Becky said to the others.
"Really? We didn't know you have singing talent!" Howie said. "Can we hear it?"
"I don't have singing talent! Stop asking! I won't sing!" Naomie defended, nervous at the idea of singing in front of Aj and Howie.
"Ah come on Nam! Sing a little something!" Aj insisted.
"No I won't!" Naomie shouted.
"Ok guys! Leave her alone! We'll hear her one day or another!" Carly smiled.
"Thank you Carly!" Naomie said.
"Alright... well I want to hear some good music so we can dance a little!" Becky exclaimed.
"Put Come On Over..." Carly said.
"You want to hear Christina?" Howie asked.
"Yeah!!" Naomie agreed.
"You'll show us a little of your dance moves ladies?" Aj asked with a big grin.
"Exactly mister!" Becky said taking the two other girls by the hand. "We'll show you our Come On Over dance!! Ready girls?"
"Yeah!" the two others said. The guys sat on the chair and watched their girls taking place beside the pool for their little dance. The music started and the girls moved with the music, singing at the same time. In the middle of the song Carly and Becky walked to Aj and Howie and sang to them as they made sexy dance moves in front of them, leaving Naomie dancing all alone. But she was really into it and was singing with her heart out. Becky noticed it and made a sign for Aj to stop the music.
"Can you give me what a girl need what a girl feel what a girl wannnnnnnnnnnt!" Naomie sang out loud when the music stopped. She realized there was no more music and turned around to face the four others. Their mouth were all open, not believing how great her voice sounded. "Ok...who stopped the music????" she asked a little angry.
"Wow Nam!!! You really have talent!!!" Aj exclaimed.
"No I don't! Stop it!" she said blushing.
"Naomie...Naomie..Naomie.." Howie started.
"That's my name!" she jocked.
"You HAVE to sing tomorrow night at my club!!!" he ordered.
"And what if I DON'T want?" she giggled.
"You don't have the choice! You will sing at my club tomorrow night! For the Christmas party!" he said seriously.
"Are you crazy?? Do you want someone in the place? I'll scare everyone!!!"
"Come on Nam!! You know you have talent!!!" Becky said. "Do it! You know you can do it! You sing so great!"
"Yeah! Only a few songs! It'd be amazing! And we'll all be there to encourage you!" Carly agreed.
"That's worst! It's way more stressing to sing in front of people you know!" Naomie said.
"No! You'll see! Everything will go fine! Come on Nam!!!!" Howie tried to convince her. "I want you to sing there! You really have an amazing voice!!"
"You really think so?" she asked really not sure about it.
"Oh yeah!!!" the four said at the same time what made her chuckled.
"You defenitly rocks girlie! Everyone will love you!" Becky exclaimed.
"But I don't know what to sing...I don't have any preparation..."
"Well sing what you always sing when....well you know when..."Becky said not wanting to say 'when you think of Nick'
"yeah I know!!" she laughed
"We'll rehearsh tomorrow afternoon! All the afternoon if you want! But please please please, do it for me!" Howie asked with puppy eyes. "Only one or two songs!"
"Um..I don't know..."
"Naomie please! For me too!!" Aj begged.
"Please please please!" the two other girls said.
"Alright alright I'll do it!" Naomie sighed after a moment of silence.
"YOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" Howie cheered. "Thank you so muchhhhhhhhhh!!!!" he added kissing her on the cheeks.
"No problem I guess.." she sighed again.
**During this time**
After a moment of thinking, Brian took the phone and dialed.
"Hey it's me! If you hear this it's because I'm not home right now! Leave a message and I'll call you back! See ya!" Leighanne's voice said.
"Um.. Leigh. It's Brian. Well I just wanted to know if you were back home... "
Right at this moment, Leighanne entered in the house.
"I really need to talk to you... I know you'll be able to help me... "
When she heard Brian's sad voice she ran at the phone and answered.
"Brian???" she said out of breath.
"Yeah! Hi! You just arrived?" he asked souding a little happier.
"Yeah sorry! I entered in the house the moment you left your message..."
"Great. How are you?"
"I'm doing fine. A little tired but fine. What about you?" she said sitting on the couch.
"I'm okay...I guess... how was the filming?"
"It was great! We're having so much fun! But it's a lot of work!"
"Cool! I'm sure it'll be great. For how much time you're staying in Florida?"
"Until New Year...it's like our holidays."
"That's great!" he said.
"What did you want to talk about?" Leighanne asked remembering the message he had started to left.
"Oh well... what are you doing this afternoon?" he asked.
"Um... I have nothing planned...why?"
"Would you like to take a walk on the beach...you know...like we used to... I'd really like to talk to you... and I feel like you're the only one I can really trust.."
"Yeah sure! You know I'm here for you!"
"Cool thanks! I'll pick you up in an hour. Is it alright?"
"Yeah sure no problem! See ya in an hour!"
"See ya! Bye!"
*Meanwhile*
Alika arrived in front of the big gate surrounding the huge house. She pushed the button for the bell and after a moment, she heard a voice.
"Yeah???" a rude voice said.
"Yo big boy! Open the gate!" Alika said. "It's me!"
"Who???"
"Alika!! Open the gate!" she laughed.
"What the hell are you doing here??"
"I'll tell you if you open the gate! I won't kill you don't worry! I don't bite... well... not until you ask me to!" she teased. After she heard a sigh and the gate opened. She parked her car in front of the house and ran to the door.
"Open the door now!" she said desperate.
"What do you want??" the guy said opening the door.
"You didn't change! We still have to tell you what to do!" she teased him.
"And you still can't answer to my question when I'm asking you one!"
"You know I can baby!" she laughed. "Hey I've got something to ask you!"
"Yeah what? Make it quick!"
"Did you really fucked your bestfriend's girl?" she asked with a little smile on her face.
"What???? Who told you that???" Nick asked furiously.
"Oooh... you did it! Bad boy! That's what I said, you didn't change!"
"Who told you that?" he asked again.
"I heard this... it doesn't matter who told me! So that's true huh? You really fucked Brian's girlfriend??" she grinned. "How could you do something like this Nickers?" she added taking an apple in the fruit basket.
"Who ..."
"Um... let's see...with who did I spend the evening two days ago?" she asked.
"How am I suppose to know!?!? I wasn't with you and if I would have been...I would have kicked you out of my house!" he shouted.
"Oh Nicky...why do you hate me that much? What did I do wrong?"
"You just screwed up my relationship with Mandy..."
"Like you care!" she laughed.
"Well... well... anyway! Who told you for Amber and I?"
"Oh! So that's her name?" she asked. "Wait a minute! Isn't she the dancer I am replacing?? Oooh now I see why she left! It's all your fault once again!"
"Ok for the last time before I kick your ass out of my house... who told you?"
"You don't like my ass? Well you seemed to like it a lot last year.." she said with an innocent face. Nick looked at her angrily and impatiently. "Brian... Brian told me everything..himself!"
"What? You saw Brian?" he asked surprised.
"Yeah I saw him!" she laughed remembering Brian without his t-shirt.
"You spent the evening with Brian?? You've got to be kidding me!"
"Yeah I've spent the evening with him... you jealous?"
"Please...I'm begging you...don't turn around Brian... he doesn't deserve a bitch like you!" Nick said.
"So now I'm a bitch?"
"You've always been a bitch! But please... he doesn't deserve someone to screw up is life!"
"Of course he doesn't ! He already has you!" she snapped at him bedore to blew him a kiss and walked out the house.
"Bitch!!!!" Nick yelled before to slam the door behind her.
*At the beach*
Brian and Leighanne walked on the beach for a long time. Brian told her all about what he was feeling about everything that had happened with Nick and if he should forgive him. He told her about the dream he had about them when they were younger and she told him that they had shared so much things together that it was normal he felt this way because Nick would always be a big part of his life, even if he wouldn't forgive him. She also told him that he should forgive him only when he'd be ready to do it because if he'd forgive him and wouldn't talk to him much...it wouldn't change anything. But she said he should think about it quickly because if he'd take too much time, maybe Nick won't feel the same and won't want to forgive him for not having forgive him earlier. It's been already a month that Nick was going crazy and he won't want to live this life much longer so he'd try to move on and maybe it'd be too late and when it's too late you can't fix things like you wish you could. These words were running in Brian's head all the evening and night.
