A FEW DAYS LATER...
Erica was hanging around backstage waiting for the show to end,when
Roseanna walked up to her.
"Great show tonight,huh?," Roseanna asked,snapping her gum.She continued
to chew loudly when Erica didn't answer her,and finally Erica turned to her.
"What do you want Roseanna?," she snapped,crossing her arms over her
chest and glaring at her.
Roseanna looked at her."What makes you think I want anything?I'm just
standing here watching the guys like you are," she explained.
Erica snorted."No.You're standing there admiring AJ,your
EX-boyfriend.Need I remind you that you two are no longer together,and that
he's with me now?Or can't you seem to pick up on that fact?," she shot at her.
Roseanna glared at her."Geez,who stuck a stick up YOUR ass?I know very
well that me and AJ are no longer together.And besides,we all know you're
only with him for one reason:because he's the sexiest man on the planet,and
every girl wishes they were in your shoes," she stated,a self-satisfied smirk
on her face.
Erica was just about to retort back when the guys game flying
backstage,and AJ swept her up in his arms and kissed her.Then he turned to
Roseanna."Hey,glad you could make it," he said,and grinned at her.
Erica tugged him aside."Do you know what she just accused me of?She said
I was only with you because of your popularity," she remarked.
AJ put his hands on her shoulders."You know she likes to piss you off on
purpose.Just ignore her," he said.
She looked at him."Remember that day she came to your room?What happened
after I left?," she asked.
He was quiet before answering."All we did was talk.She was upset," he
told her.He gazed at her."Why?"
She shook her head."I just wanted to know.I don't trust her around you,"
she stated.
He leaned over and kissed her.His lips were warm against hers."There is
absolutely nothing to worry about.The only girl in my life is Y-O-U," he
said,and she wrapped her arms around him.
A few minutes later he said,"I'm gonna go change out of these sweaty
clothes.I'll see you later,OK?." She nodded."I love you.Don't forget that,"
he told her before walking away.
She gazed after him,then turned to meet up with the others.
**************~*Chapter 12*~**********************
Nick and Blane went back to her hotel room a few hours later,after
leaving a small get-together with the other guys and their girlfriends.
Nick flopped down on the couch."I'll be so glad when the American leg of
this tour is over and we get a one-month break before starting the European
tour," he sighed,raking his fingers through his hair.
She came over and planted herself on his lap,then turned to face
him."Aww,poor baby.Is this too much work for you?," she teased as she kissed
him gently on the lips.
He laughed."No,I love what I do.It's just very exhausting," he told her
,as she ran her fingers slowly through his hair.
"I'm tired too,you know.We dancers get just as much exercise as you guys
do onstage," she stated.
He nodded and slowly ran his hand up and down her arm."I know.It's just
that...," he began,but trailed off.
She leaned over and kissed him again."But what?," she prompted,placing
her hand on his chest and gently pushing him back on the couch.
He shook his head."Nothing," he stated.She had begun to rub her hand up
and down his leg,and she was getting dangerously close to his manly area.He
could feel himself begin to get aroused and turned on in a major way.He let
out a low moan,and a second later her mouth covered his in a hungry kiss.
A few minutes later,after getting the exact response she wanted from
him,they made love.And it was even better than their first night together had
been.....
