Chapter Eleven - Carried Away

“Melinda.” Matt said the next morning as they sat on Columbia picture’s private jet, taking them to London for their two days worth of promotion and premiering the video.

“Yes?” Melinda said as she lifted her head off of the headrest.

“Can I sit?”

“Sure.”

“Thanks.” Matt said as he sat down beside her, turning to look at her a little. Melinda looked at him and then looked back at her book she was reading, “What are you reading?”

“Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus” Melinda said as she looked over at him, “I’m surrounded by men, so I thought I’d read it to help understand you creatures.”

“Interesting. So I had some ideas.” Matt said as Melinda turned her head back and saw Nick look at them out of the corner of his eye.

“What ideas?” Melinda asked as she turned a page in the book, acting as if she really wasn’t paying attention to him.

“When we do this little tour, of course you will perform your first two singles, and “Damn”. When you perform “Damn”, I thought maybe you could have a bed in the center of stage and -”

“Do what?” Melinda asked as she looked over at Matt, “And what? Touch myself or something?”

“It would gain publicity.”

“You’re out of your fucking mind.”

“What? Madonna -”

“Yeah well I’m not a tramp like Madonna.” Melinda hissed as she looked back at her book, “I have nothing else to say.”

“Well okay then.” Matt said as he got up and walked back to the back of the plane where he was sitting, talking to Nick and Melinda’s stylist. Nick looked back at Matt and then got up from his seat and walked over to the seat beside Melinda and sat down.

“Dude -”

“You hear that?” Melinda asked as she looked over at Nick, “I fucking hate that god damn shit.”

“He wanted you to like, you know…”

“Yeah like you know, masturbate on a bed in fucking concert.” Melinda said as she shook her head no, “That song is about making love, not touching yourself and he’s out of his fucking mind.”

“Dude, Ed would have like a massive stroke.” Nick said, “I’m telling you man. Matt’s got a thing for you.”

“Yeah well he can keep on having one too, I’m not a fucking tramp that’s going to fuck a married man.” Melinda said as she continued reading her book and Nick started to laugh, “What?”, she asked, looking over at him.

“Do you understand anything that book is saying?” Nick asked as Melinda shrugged her shoulders and looked back at the book.

“Hell no, but it makes me look smart.” Melinda whispered as Nick started to laugh and stood up, walking back over to his seat.

Okay first off, no I’m not being nice to Nick on purpose. It’s this whole sex thing that’s going on in my head and whenever we do it, we turn out being nice to each other. Yesterday was pretty fucking good in the green room at TRL, so it’s lasting over to today. It’s kinda nice not bitching at him all the time, but it usually doesn’t last too long.

And Matt, let me fill you in on Matt. He’s married. He has three kids. He’s probably in his late 20’s, early 30’s, and he’s like a Brad Pitt wanna-be. Notice the ‘wanna-be’ in that. He’s always hit on me every time he’s around me and he’s always sort of touchy - feely when it comes to me too. This one time I had to do a photo shoot with Pink, for the label, and was he touchy - feely with her? Hell no, but he is with me, and I HATE it. I should report his ass, but, I can’t. That’s what sucks. If he gets on my nerves too bad, I’ll just fucking hit him or kick him.

Now, I’m going to London, or I’m on my way. They’ve got some GREAT shops here, but I doubt I’ll have any time to shop and besides, I don’t have my favorite shopping partner with me. Bianca’s too busy with LANCE.

Fuck Lance. No wait, DON’T fuck Lance.

Ugh, and my father is busy with his little whore. I’m stuck with my ex-step brother who I’m having sex with just so we won’t fight. What has my life come to?

“There is nothing on fucking television!” Melinda yelled as she walked out of her bedroom in their suite that night to see Nick sitting there watching TV, “Hello, Earth to Carter!”, she said as she walked over, fixing the lighting system in the room.

“Would you stop with the lights.” Nick said, raising his voice a little.

“I’m seeing how they work.” Melinda said as she almost completely turned them off and Nick picked up a magazine, throwing it at her, “Stop it!”

“Well stop fucking with the god damn lights! It’s getting on my fucking nerves!” Nick yelled at her, “God damn, I said stop it one fucking time, how many fucking times do I have to say it?”

“Stop it!!” Melinda screamed at Nick as she threw a magazine at him, “Stop fucking yelling at me for every fucking thing I do wrong!”

“Then god dammit, stop acting like a spoiled fucking brat!” Nick yelled back, “God dammit, they don’t have the fucking channels here in Europe like they do in fucking America. Get the fuck over it and go watch some British shit!”

“I don’t want to watch no damn British show!” Melinda yelled, “I should call the front desk.”, she said as she picked up the phone and Nick grabbed the chord, yanking it out of her hands, “What the fuck did you do that for?!?!”

“You can’t call the front desk and demand them to get MTV from America you fucking bitch, they can’t just do that!”

“They did last time I was here!”

“Well it’s fucking stupid, just watch what the fuck is on TV dammit.” Nick yelled at her as he leaned back on the sofa and flipped channels on the TV as she walked over, unplugging the TV, “Bitch.”

“Fuck you.”

“You wish I would.”

“Ugh god, you think with your fucking dick.” Melinda said to him as Nick looked up at her, “You think with the wrong fucking head you moron.”

“Yeah well you must fucking like that head because you damn sure liked it yesterday.” Nick muttered as Melinda looked in shock and picked up a picture frame, throwing it over at him, “You fucking bitch!”, he yelled as he jumped up and started to chase her around the living room.

“Stop it!”

“Come here!”

“Leave me alone!” Melinda screamed as Nick tackled her, knocking them both of the floor with him on top of her, “Get off of me.”

“Oh why?” Nick asked, “You’re not so bad now without a picture frame or magazine to throw at me.”

“I’m warning you, get off of me.”

“Warning me?”

“Yes.”

“Warn me.” Nick said, looking her dead in the eyes and she tried to kick him, but he leaned down to kiss her instead. He kissed her intensely at first, sucking on her tongue slowly and then backed away, sucking on her lips slowly, “Warn me again.”

“You don’t want me to.” Melinda said, “Get off of me.”

“We’ve got a interview at 8 in the morning.” Nick whispered as he leaned down to suck on her neck a little and Melinda looked around, “We can’t go fighting like this.”

“Uhh god dammit.”

“Say it again.”

“God dammit.”

“Scream it.”

“Nick!” Melinda screamed in shock as Nick started to laugh against her collarbone as he began to suck on it slowly and Melinda tried to look down at him, “Nick, what are you doing?”

“Shut up Mindy.” Nick mumbled against her skin as he leaned up, straddling her, and began moving his hand sup under her little t-shirt; finally she lifted herself up a little so that he could lift it off. He threw the t-shirt on the other side of the room and leaned back down, kissing along her chest. He moved over, sucking in-between her breast, massaging them slowly until he moved down to her stomach, tickling her sides a little.

“Nick this is so wrong.” Melinda whispered back as she moved her hands up to her face, covering her eyes, “So fucking wrong.”

“Shut up Mindy.” Nick mumbled against her lower stomach as he started to pull her pajama bottoms and panties down. He scooted all the way down and finally removed them and started to kiss his way back up her right leg. Finally he reached her thigh, and moved his tongue across it a few times, causing her to move a little. He smiled as he began to kiss up her hip gently and moved his right hand over, and inserted a finger inside of her to see how wet she was. He laughed a little against her lower stomach as he sucked across it when he realized what he was doing was working really well.

Finally he reached her breast again, kissing along them, and sucking on them a little, showing each one the same amount of attention. He looked up at her one time as he was kissing along her chest and smiled. He moved his kisses up her neck and to her chin, and then came face to face with her again. He moved her hands out of the way and leaned down to kiss her profoundly. Melinda moved her hands down his sides and started to slid his boxers down. Nick moved his lips away from hers and moved off of her, to get his boxers off and kicked them somewhere on the other side of the room. Then he climbed back up on Melinda, straddling her again and looked down at her.

“Get something.” Melinda whispered as Nick looked around.

“Shit right.” Nick muttered as he jumped up and ran into his room, coming back with a condom and straddled her again. She reached over, taking it from him. He watched her as she took it from him and then looked down and moved it over him, making sure that it was on good. She moved her hand over him a few times, and then looked up at him, “Damn. We’re going to hell.”

“Atleast we’ll go not bitching maybe.” Melinda said as Nick smiled and leaned over to kiss her. He moved his legs and she spreaded hers apart, giving him better access. He started to kiss her even more intensely as he just barely entered her, teasing her a little. Melinda moaned against his lips. He just laughed in response as he entered her slowly, feeling a sigh of relief from her on his lips. She wrapped her arms around him tightly as he started to kiss down her neck and to her chest while he began to move inside of her.

Melinda wrapped her legs around him tightly to bring him even closer to her as he started out slow. She moved her hands from around his neck and began to move them over his body. His chest, his back, hell even his ass. She wanted him all the way in her and wanted to be as close to him as she could.

Nick stopped massaging her body and moved his arms up so that they wrapped around her shoulders as he began to move inside of her a little faster. Melinda began moaning against his lips as they kept kissing passionately. He began to feel her tighten around him and opened his eyes a little to see her looking at him, and he knew that she was about to reach her point, so he began to move a little faster, trying to hold off so that they could come together.

“Nick -”

“Hmm?”

“I think this is uh,” Melinda tried to say as she took a deep breath, “- getting out of hand.”

“Shhh.” Nick whispered to her as he leaned over, sucking on her neck gently.

Nick lifted her up a little off of the floor, with his arms around her shoulders while kissing her and began to move inside of her even harder and faster. He felt her gasp for air against his lip and moan as she felt her release and about the same time, he felt his also. He began to slow down and opened his eyes, looking down at her. She had her eyes closed with a scared look on her face.

“Melinda?”

“Uh huh?”

“It’s over.” Nick whispered as Melinda opened her eyes, looking at him, “Um -”

“Yeah.” Melinda said as she looked around and then back at him. They just laid there, not saying anything until finally Nick moved out of her and sat down on the floor beside her as she sat up beside him, “I think we’re getting a little out of hand. We can’t do that every time we get in a fight.”

“We fight a lot.”

“Right.”

“Well.” Nick said as he looked over at her, “We’re not fighting anymore.”

“No, we’re not.” Melinda said as she lifted her knees up, resting her chin on her knees, “I feel like a whore.”

“Huh, why?”

“Because I’m just fucking someone for the hell of it.” Melinda said, “And it’s you, and that’s so wrong.”

“It’s for a purpose.” Nick said as Melinda rested the side of her face on her knees, “There’s a purpose. For us to get along.”

“But what about when this is all over and we still have to see each other. We can’t just go do this at like your parents.” Melinda said as Nick laughed a little and hook his head no, “So see.”

“Do you really have a problem with doing it?” Nick asked, looking her in the eyes, “I mean if you do, just say so.”

“No, I don’t.”

“Me either. It helps us get along and we need that desperately right now.”

“Yes.” Melinda said as she sighed, “I guess we do.”

“After this is over it can just go back to like it used to be.”

“Yes.” Melinda whispered as she looked back down, “And I’m not a whore.”

“No.” Nick said as he started to laugh a little, “It’s not like you’re going around fucking twenty people.”

“I’ve only been with two people.” Melinda said as Nick looked at her and she looked at him, “Including you.”

“Who’s the other one?”

“Bianca’s brother.”

“Oh, seriously?”

“Yeah, we dated for about six months, um secretly.” Melinda said as she shook her head, “He sucked in bed.”

“Oh damn.” Nick said as he started to laugh, “I hope I’m better.”

“Yeah. He was a stupid virgin.” Melinda whispered as Nick laughed again.

“You weren’t a stupid virgin.”

“Nick, shut up.” Melinda said as she laughed at him, “I’m going to go shower.”

“Christmas 1996.” Nick said with a smile as Melinda hit him in the arm, “Ouch.” She stood up, grabbing her clothes and walked into her room, and shut the door. Nick smiled as he sat there on the floor, reaching over for his boxers and crawled into his room, shutting the door behind him.
