Chapter Fourteen - The Nyla Experience

“What?” Nick asked, looking over at Melinda, “Of course, yeah this is still a business arrangement. Why?”

“Why did you want me to stay and like, you hold onto me?” Melinda asked as Nick sat up in bed and looked over at her, “Well?”

“Just wanted to. This is still a business thing, that’s all it is.” Nick said as he looked back at his hands, in front of him, “Sorry, won’t ask again.”

“It’s fine.” Melinda whispered as she tugged on his arm, pulling him back over, and half on top of her, “Next time you can hold me afterwards okay?”

“Okay.” Nick whispered back as he kissed her on the cheek, “Now let’s go to sleep.”

“Okay.” Melinda said lightly as Nick moved off of her, lying on his side and wrapped his arm around her, “Tonight was good.”

“Yeah it was.”

“Yeah.”

“Listen…” Nick whispered into her ear as Melinda opened her eyes, “We really are getting along lately and I don’t want it to stop, so let’s not forget that it’s a business relationship in case any feelings are -”

“I don’t have any feelings.” Melinda whispered back as Nick smiled a little.

“Okay. Night.”

“Night.”

“Wow that was great!” Matt said the next morning after Melinda and Nick walked back to the green room after their interview and performance on Regis and Kelly, “You did awesome, you did -”

“We get the point.” Nick said as he reached over, taking a bottled water off of the table, “We did good.”

“You did great!” Matt said as he grabbed Melinda, giving her a kiss on the cheek and she pushed him away.

“We did good.” Nick said as he took a sip of the water, “Didn’t we Mindy?”

“Yes, we did. I just hate the freakin’ ‘Weren’t you step brother and sister for a few years?’ Damn shit pisses me off.” Melinda said as she crossed her arms, “Can I change clothes now?”

“Yes.” Matt said as Melinda looked over at Nick and then walked back to her dressing room, and shut the door with Matt watching her every move, “God she’s hot.”

“Huh?” Nick asked, looking over at him.

“Melinda, she’s hot. Her body, and that ass, and -”

“Aren’t you married?”

“Wife isn’t here.” Matt said as he winked at him. Nick moved his eyes around, and then looked back over at Matt.

“And you expect to get with Melinda?” Nick asked as he started to laugh while Matt smiled, “Matt, there’s something you should know.”

“What?”

“Melinda likes women. She’s not into men.” Nick said as Matt looked at him in shock, “Yeah, trust me. I’ve known her for years man.”

“Are you kidding me?” Matt asked, “Damn that’s sexy.”

“Yeah well, she won’t give you the time of day, trust me.” Nick said as he walked over to his dressing room, smiling while taking another sip of the water.

“Wow Melinda, you and Nick did really good.” Bianca said as Melinda sat there on a little couch in her dressing room, with her legs crossed and kicking it back and forth, “I mean, really good.” Melinda just looked around, not saying anything, “I mean really -”

“Yeah I get the point.” Melinda said, “So how’s Lance?”

“I’ve dropped his ass.” Bianca said as she turned around on the massage table, “It’s over.”

“Cool.”

“You’re all quiet. What do you have to confess?”

“Nothing.” Melinda said as she looked around, twirling a strand of her hair, “Nothing at all.”

“What’s going on?”

“Okay I can’t keep it a secret much longer.” Melinda said as she took a deep breath, “I’ve been sleeping with Nick.”

“That’s a good one. No really, what’s going on?”

“Really.”

“OH MY FUCKING GOD!” Bianca screamed into the phone as Melinda moved it away from her ear, “You’ve been sleeping with Nick? Nick Carter?”

“Yeah that’s him.” Melinda said as she pressed her lips together and looked away, “Since the night we filmed the video and then well, I kinda lost my virginity to him when I was 15.” She said as Bianca dropped her phone and picked it up.

“WHAT?!?!”

“Uh yeah. Wow, look at the time. I better go.” Melinda said, “Don’t you tell anybody.”

“We’re talking later. You bet your ass.” Bianca said as Melinda laughed, telling her goodbye and walked out of the room to see Nick, Matt, their stylist, and some other lady standing there.

“Well about time.” Matt said as he put his hands on his hips, “We’re all going out to eat tonight to celebrate, because guess what?”

“What?” Nick asked as he looked over at Matt and Melinda walked over closer.

“‘Review My Kisses’ is number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100!” Matt said as Melinda tilted her head a little, looking confused.

“But it’s like barely out.” Melinda said, “How the hell is that?”

“It’s good, that’s why. That’s why we have to promote it and it will go to number one.” Matt said, “So we’re going to Nyla to celebrate!”

“Nyla?” Nick asked as he rubbed his chin, “Isn’t that Britney’s place?”

“Unfortunately.” Melinda said as she rolled her eyes, walking past Matt. Nick smirked a little to himself and walked out of the room, following her.

“I’m gonna go to this fucking restaurant and those damn rumors of me and Britney are gonna get started again.” Nick bitched that evening as the hostess was showing him, Melinda, Matt, and the band to their special table.

“But you’d make such a lovely couple. You’re all American Boy next door and she’s… silicone.” Melinda said as Nick started laughing and they sat down. Melinda took the menu from the hostess and noticed Matt was sitting extremely close to her, and she started to scoot closer over to Andi, their stylist.

“Well, I know what I want.” Matt said as he looked over at Melinda, and Nick gave him a look.

“So Matt, how’s the wife?” Nick asked as Melinda cracked a smile, looking at the menu.

“I.. I want to get married one day moi.” Michel said as everybody at the table turned and looked at him.

“She’s fine. She’s at home.” Matt said as he looked at Nick, “How’s your girlfriend?”

“Don’t have one.” Nick said as he looked over at Melinda and back down at his menu.

The waitress came by, taking all of their orders, and another brought them their drinks. Matt ordered bottles of their finest wine so that they could toast the occasion, and he kept moving closer to Melinda. Each time Matt would move closer, she would look up at Nick who was sitting right across from her and then look down. They sat there listening to Matt and Michel talk about the scenery in France, and how romantic it was. Nick sat there, playing with the sleeve of his shirt until he felt something on his right leg. He moved his left foot over it, trying it kick it off until he realized it was someone’s foot.

“Nick.” Matt said as Nick looked up at Matt and then over at Melinda who was smirking at him.

“Huh? What?” Nick asked as he felt Melinda’s foot move further up his leg, “What?”

“I asked how your brother was doing.” Matt said as he took a sip of his wine.

“Oh Aaron, he’s,” Nick said as he felt Melinda’s foot move in-between his legs, touching him slightly, “FINE!” Nick squeaked out as they all looked at him, “Sorry.”

“You alright?” Andi asked as she started to laugh.

“Perfect.” Nick said as he took a sip of his wine and Melinda moved her foot against him again, causing him to almost spit his wine out.

“Oh, I just remembered, I need to go call my father. He had a doctor’s appointment this afternoon. Excuse me.” Melinda said as she wiggled her eyebrow at Nick and stood up, walking away from the table.

“Well I hope her father is okay.” Matt said as Nick looked around, and then over at Matt.

“Yeah, I better go find out too. I didn’t even know he had an appointment. Hold on.” Nick said as he moved the napkin from his lap. He walked through the restaurant until he reached where the restrooms were and someone grabbed his arm, pulling him into the ladies restroom, “Dude what the fuck?”

“Couldn’t help myself.” Melinda whispered as she leaned up to kiss him deeply, “Hold on.”

“Uh okay.” Nick said as he turned around, watching Melinda put the cleaning sign outside of the restroom. She came back in, locking the door from the inside, “What are you doing?”

“Come here?” Melinda said as she smiled at him, pulling him into one of the bathroom stalls. She closed and locked the door back, and then leaned up, kissing him deeply again. They stood there kissing each other intensely and passionately until Nick’s hand started sliding down her waist, pulling her dress up some. He started to reach up under it until he noticed she didn’t have any panties on and smiled against her lips.

“No panties.”

“Easy access.”

“Who taught you that?”

“I got my ways.” Melinda said as she reached down, and started unfastening his belt on his pants.

“Mindy, we can’t do it in here, it’s too crowded.” Nick mumbled against her neck as he kissed her.

“Counter.” Melinda whispered back as they ran out of the bathroom stall and over to the sink counter. Nick ran his hands up her legs, lifting her silky dress up and sat her up on the counter and continued to kiss her.

“You can seriously read my mind. I sat there wanting you so bad.” Nick mumbled against her lips while kissing her.

“You got me, now what are you gonna do?” Melinda asked as Nick smiled, leaning over to kiss her while he ran his hands up the side of thighs. Melinda finished unfastening Nick’s pants and slid them and his boxers down a little. Now they were standing there face to face.

Nick moved up closer to her, standing in-between her legs and began to kiss. He started to kiss all down her neck and shoulders while Melinda leaned back on the mirror closing her eyes. She was imaging what Nick was about to do next when she felt him enter her and she let out a little scream.

“Shhh…” Nick whispered against her lips, “Don’t wanna get caught.”

“Right.” Melinda whispered back to him as he reached up, pulling her closer to him and he started to move in and out of her. She reached around her, pulling him closer up to her as he began to go faster and deeper inside of her. She was already reaching her point but she knew Nick was just getting started. She wrapped her legs around Nick so tight until she thought she was going to cut circulation off to the lower part of his body.

Then all of a sudden he reached up behind her, grabbing her ass, picking her up and pressed her against the wall as they continued to make love.

Melinda screamed out his name again lightly and that only made Nick go harder and faster. She just layed her head back, closing her eyes while Nick kissed down her neck and her shoulders. He moved his lips back up to hers and told her to open her eyes when they both felt their release at the same time and then began to slow down.

“Imagine the headlines,” Nick said as Melinda smiled at him a little, “Nick Carter and Melinda Manning caught having sex in Britney’s restaurant.”

“Sounds like a good title to me.” Melinda said as they both leaning in to kiss again, “I’m ready to go back to the room.”

“Me too.”

“Matt freaks me out.”

“I told him today that you were a lesbian.”

“You did what?” Melinda asked as Nick moved her against the wall and back down on the ground.

“I told him you were a lesbian so he would stop hitting on you but obviously it’s not working.” Nick said as Melinda smiled as she pushed her dress down and looked at herself, “You look nice tonight.”

“You think?” Melinda asked, looking down at her short black dress with spaghetti straps.

“Definitely.” Nick said as he dried his hands off with a paper towel, “Almost fuckable?”

“I bet.” Melinda said as they both laughed.

“Well I hope everything is okay with Melinda’s father.” Andi said as Matt nodded his head agreeing with her while looking at his clock, wondering how long they’d been gone.
