Chapter Twenty - Two - She’s In Love With The Boy

Ring Ring

“Ugh,” Nick moaned as he reached over, grabbing his cell phone and putting his guitar down on his bed. He put his notepad and pen down beside it and opened up his phone, deciding on whether to answer it or not. He sighed, finally hitting the power button, “Hello?”

“Hey bro, what’s up?” Brian asked as Nick smiled a little and looked at the TV.

“Playing around, writing and working on something.” Nick said, “What’s up with you?”

“Oh nothing much. Whatcha writing?” Brian asked as Nick looked down at his notepad.

“Well, I wrote a song the other night.”

“Title?”

“Can’t Hide Beautiful.”

“About?”

“A girl that’s beautiful but she doesn’t realize it and tries to be everything that she’s not and how she drives the guy crazy just by being her simple self.” Nick said, “Or something like that.”

“Written about?” Brian asked as Nick rolled his eyes, “Don’t roll your eyes Carter.”

“I wrote it while watching Melinda sleep because she was bitching that day about how she gained weight and everybody told her that she hadn’t.” Nick said, “So, you know, I decided to write a song.”

“Where’s Melinda at?” Brian asked, “Shouldn’t you two be doing you’re non-fighting thing?”

“She actually went out with Michel, our French guitar player to eat. He’s got some crush on her and I think she felt like going out so she went.” Nick said as he sighed, “So I just stayed in, and playing with this since we had the night off.”

“I wanna hear the song when you get it done.” Brian said, “So how much longer do you have on the tour?”

“Two more shows man.” Nick said, “Two more shows and then the premiere.”

“Wow, only two?” Brian asked, “Damn time has flown.”

“Yes it has.” Nick said as he laughed, “It’s going to be weird when it’s all over with. I mean, I’m so used to having to share the spotlight with Melinda of all people that when I go back and work with you guys, it’s gonna be weird. I don’t have this raging PMSing woman around me all the time.”

“Well there’s always Howie.” Brian said as Nick started to laugh at him, “Gonna miss her?”

“You know, I think I will.” Nick said as he shook his head, “I mean we get along so much better and maybe it’s because of the sex, but yeah I think I’ll miss her.”

“Fallen for her?”

“Hell no man. I ain’t that crazy.” Nick said as he started to laugh, “No.”

“Damn.” Brian said as he started to laugh, “Need to.”

“Oh shut up Brian.” Nick said as he heard a door slam, “I gotta go.”

“Later man.” Brian said as Nick told him goodbye and closed his cell phone, getting up from the bed and walking out of the door to see Melinda standing there with her hands on her hips.

“Uh oh, what’s wrong?” Nick asked as Melinda rolled her eyes.

“Okay so me and Michel go to dinner right? So we come back, and we see Matt in the hallway and he says he needs to talk to me about a interview so I’m like okay. I tell Michel goodnight and go into Matt’s room -”

“That don’t sound good.”

“So then he comes fucking ON to me.” Melinda said as Nick looked in shock, “Yeah, I kicked him in the balls.”

“Lemme at him.” Nick said as he started charging to the door and Melinda stood in the way, “Move.”

“No.” Melinda said, “I took care of him. I told him if he fucked with me one more time that I was turning him in.”

“Good, I’ll get him tomorrow.” Nick said as Melinda shook her head no at him, “How was dinner?”

“It was fine, except I couldn’t eat anything.” Melinda said as she took her jacket off, “Whatcha been doing?”

“Nothing much.” Nick said as Melinda walked up to him, putting her arms around his neck smiling, “Yes?”

“You know what I realized tonight?”

“What?”

“We only have a few more days of this left.” Melinda said as Nick nodded his head, agreeing with her.

“I know.” Nick said, “I was just talking to Brian and he asked how much longer did I have. Kinda whack.”

“I know.” Melinda said as she leaned up, giving him a little kiss and started to walk into the kitchen. Nick looked over his shoulder, watching her in her short black dress and took a deep breath, “You know what I want?”

“What?” Nick asked as he walked slowly into the kitchen to see Melinda looking through the snack cabinet and wrapped his arms around her waist, leaning over to kiss her neck lightly, “Me?”

“Hmm.” Melinda said as she shut the cabinet door and turned around facing him, “That’s not so bad.”

“Not bad at all.” Nick said a he leaned over, kissing her deeply and then backed away. Melinda just smiled at him. He leaned down to kiss her, having to really lean down since she was a bit shorter than him. She put her arms around his neck as he lifted her up, sitting her on top of the counter.

“God I want you so much.” Nick whispered as he Melinda looked him dead in the eyes while she practically ripped his shirt off of him, looking at his chest and body, running her hands over it, until she reached down at his pants, undoing them.

“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 her dress, lifted it up, and slid it over her head. Melinda slipped Nick’s pants off and they fell to the floor. He stepped out of him while she slipped his boxers down and he did the same. She lifted up a little as Nick slipped her panties off of her, tossing them onto the floor with the other things. 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 body while Melinda leaned back on the wall 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.

He reached up, pulling her closer to him as 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 faster 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 then leaned down laying her on the floor while they continued to make love.

Melinda screamed out his name again 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 breast when she felt they both felt their release at the same time and then began to slow down.

“Oh my god.” said Melinda as she looked up at Nick who was smiling down at her.

“You haven’t seen anything yet baby.” Nick whispered as he started to kiss her and moved down to her neck as Melinda rolled her eyes and smiled.

“You know..” Melinda said a little bit later as they sat there in bed. Nick had his back leaning against the headboard and Melinda had hers against his chest, “It’s gonna be so weird when this is all over and we see each other. I wonder if we’ll go back to bitching constantly.”

“No idea.” Nick said as he smiled, “We’re gonna have to make the last night special.”

“Yes.” Melinda said as she turned her head back and looked at him, “Very special.”

“Hmmm…” Nick moaned as he raised her eyebrow at her and she giggled, turning her head back and looking straight ahead, “So I got a question.”

“What?” Melinda asked as she moved over, straddling him and looking into his eyes. Nick looked down at her body and then looked back up to her eyes as she smiled at him.

“Well it’s not a question,” Nick said as he looked down at her hips, running his hands over them lightly, and then looked up at her, “I just wanted to tell you that you’re the best person I’ve been with.”

“Is that a compliment?” Melinda asked as Nick started to laugh.

“Yes it is.” Nick said as Melinda smiled.

“Well thank you.” Melinda said, nodding her head a little.

“And, don’t ever let anybody take advantage of you, like Matt tries to do. You don’t deserve it.” Nick said as Melinda tilted her head a little, looking at him, “You deserve a lot better.”

“I know.”

“You deserve someone that loves you and treats you good.”

“I know.” Melinda said, “You do too and you’ll find the perfect girl one day when you least expect it and she’ll sweep you off of your feet -”

“Nah -”

“And you’ll become as whipped as Brian.” Melinda said as Nick cracked up laughing at her, “I’m serious.”

“I know you are.” Nick said as he looked into her eyes, seeing her as she searched his eyes. He leaned over to kiss her lightly on the lips and she turned the kiss into something more. Nick leaned up, sitting straight up in bed, as he wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her back just as deeply as she was kissing him.

They stayed like that for what seemed like hours, kissing each other until Melinda backed away and looked at him. She pushed him back down on the bed so that he was laying flat on his back and leaned back down to kiss him.

Melinda moved from Nick’s lips down his chest, kissing a trail all the way down. Nick’s hands were on her shoulders, trying to pull her back up but she didn’t. Melinda took him into his mouth, moving slowly up and down the head. Nick moaned, squirming a little underneath her, loving the feeling. Melinda began to get him worked up, licking him a little, and then and sucking him hard, and changing between the two until she knew she was driving him crazy.

She spent quite a few minutes there, torturing him senseless. Pulling on the head a little with her lips, she finally let go, kissing the same trail back up his body. Nick pulled her up faster, wanting to kiss her. She indulged, as he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her while guiding her hips over his and sliding her down onto him.

Melinda felt him enter her and she kissed him deeper, as she began to move up and down over him. Nick held on to her hips, helping her move, trying to get deeper inside of her. After a few minutes, Melinda sat up a little, moving her lips away from Nick’s wanting to feel him all of the way in.

She began to ride him, as he reached up and started to massage her breasts. She leaned down into his hands, balancing herself, and she started to pick up the pace. His hips were rising off of the bed now too; as Melinda leaned down to kiss him again.

Melinda sucked on his tongue, making him moan, as they kissed. His hands were touching the sides of her face now until Melinda reached up, and entwined her hands with his, balancing on them. She continued to move over her, slower and then faster.

Nick moved his hands back down to her hips, pushing her down hard onto him as he came. She slowed down, letting him enjoy his climax, bringing it out slowly, as she was still kissing him deeply. He reached up, grabbing her face as she started to back away and kissed her even deeper.

“God…” Nick said as he took a deep breath and opened his eyes, looking at Melinda, “Damn girl.”

“Sorry.” Melinda said as she smiled and leaned back over to kiss him.

“I’m so gonna miss that.”

“You aren’t the only one.” Melinda said as Nick flipped her over, and leaned over, kissing her deeply, “Umm Nick…”

“Yeah?” Nick asked as he stared into her eyes and she did the same.

“Thanks.” Melinda said as she smiled at him.

“No problem babe.” Nick whispered as he leaned back down to kiss her.

What’s going on with me? Okay first that dream the other night on the flight to Chicago SERIOUSLY freaked me the hell out. I dreamt that Nick and I were married and I was pregnant. Okay, that’s fucking freaky. I don’t wanna marry him. I don’t wanna have his baby.

But, I, um - well, I think I’m in love with him.

“Did I just say that? Yeah, I did. I really, really did. I think that I may be in love with Nick - no, I’m pretty sure that I am, but I know he doesn’t feel that way towards me, so I can’t even say anything to him because it would ruin our deal. We’re ‘business associates’ with a ‘business deal’. That’s it. If I went and told him I had feelings for him, he would probably laugh his ass off at me. I seriously think that he would.

I’m almost ashamed of myself. I’m the one that wasn’t sure if this was a good idea and what happens? I start to develop feelings for him. Hell I’m falling in love with him, if I’m not already. I don’t know, I’ve never been in love before at all.

What would my father say? What would his parents say? What would like our fans say? We were stepbrother and stepsister for a few years. We’re not blood related, but still we were brother and sister by law for like three years and that’s gross to some people.

But it’s not gross to me.

Why?

Because I’m in love with Nick, that’s why.
