» CHAPTER THIRTEEN «

Jessica awoke from her dream in AJ’s loving arms. Realizing that her dream was just a dream, she turned to looked at the love of her life. AJ was just staring at her patiently.

They didn’t need words as their bodies ached for the other’s touch. AJ kissed Jessica’s lips ever so gently, as if they would break like glass. The kiss grew deeper, and Jessica felt a sense of need; the need for AJ’s embrace, his touch, his kiss...just AJ. AJ was feeling it too, she could sense it. Such deep feelings Jessica never knew she could feel. She was 18, young and beautiful, yet not superficial and snobby like some girls her age. AJ’s love put things into perspective. She wasn’t a little girl anymore, and she knew what she wanted with her life now. No matter what she did, she wanted AJ right there beside her.

Finally the flow of emotions stopped when they reluctantly pulled their lips away. "Good morning." Jessica whispered, staring into the dark nothingness of AJ’s brown eyes.

AJ took her hand into his. "Good morning to you too, baby."

AJ passionately kissed Jessica, feeling a sense of need to have her in his arms. He almost felt like he might lose her had she not been in his arms. Another one of those weird feelings that AJ had been having lately. Like something bad was going to happen. He knew in his heart that nothing was really wrong. He was just probably thinking too much.

When their lips pulled away, AJ stared into Jessica’s amazing blue eyes. There was just something about them. "I could write a whole song about what Jessica’s eyes tell me," he thought to himself. AJ really couldn’t believe he felt so strongly about a woman. All these deep emotional attachments AJ never knew existed. Just the thought of losing Jessica was unbearable.

"True love," he realized. "I was made for Jessica. Jessica was made for me. That’s all there is to it." Realizing Jessica was just staring at him, he rolled on top of her gently and brushed his lips from her earlobe to her neck. Jessica breathed a surprised little moan.

"Can I have you right now?" AJ whispered in a deep rugged voice.

Jessica ran her hand down his body. "You can have me forever, AJ," she whispered back.

Lauren had just finished getting dressed and was putting her hair into a ponytail when she heard a knock on her hotel room door. "Coming!" she announced heading to the door. She opened it, and a tall blond guy grabbed her and kissed her passionately. Still kissing, the guy closed the door behind them, and then laid Lauren down on the bed.

Lauren pulled her lips away, propped up underneath Nick with her elbows, and looked into eyes that were the bluest of blue. "Good morning to you too, Nick," she laughed.

Nick smiled, then leaned down to brush his lips against Lauren’s again. Lauren’s heart nearly skipped a beat at the gesture. She almost wanted to make love to him right then and there...almost. Sitting down next to her on the bed, Nick asked, "So how’s my sweet, funny, and beautiful girlfriend doing this morning?" he whispered in her ear, placing his hand around her waist.

"Just per-fect..." she managed to mutter, breathing heavily. "What do you want Nick?" she asked teasingly. Nick just flashed another killer grin and nibbled on her earlobe. "He’s got to stop this or I’ll lose control," she thought. "So, whatcha got planned for us tonight honey?" Lauren inquired.

Nick rubbed her shoulder, which was covered by a sheer blue blouse. "You’ll just have to wait until tonight after the show to find out, baby," he teased, then placed his lips on her neck.

"Tonight..." Lauren whispered. What does he have planned?

Nick seductively caressed Lauren’s neck with his lips as he thought about his plans for that night. Concert, dinner, presents in the limo, going back to his hotel room... During all that he was finally going to tell Lauren he loved her. Because if there was anything Nick was sure about, it was that he loved Lauren with all his heart. And he always wanted her in his life.

He heard Lauren’s little moans of ecstasy as he worked magic with his lips. "If just passionately kissing her does this, boy is she in for something tonight," he thought.

Nick looked into the green eyes that he never got tired of gazing into. "Let’s spend the day together, babe," he said in an almost normal voice.

Lauren smiled. "All right, Carter. Let me get my handbag." They locked the door behind them, and headed for the elevator.

"So where do you wanna go today, Lauren? I’ll take you anywhere your heart desires," Nick told her as he pressed the button to go to the bottom floor.

Lauren thought about it for a little bit. "I thought I saw a little arcade/pizza place somewhere around here," she hinted.

Nick’s eyes lit up at the mention of games and pizza. "Whatever you want, baby," he smiled.

Jessica and AJ finally got out of bed, showered, and dressed. Not very quickly though. It was nearly 1:00 PM, so AJ and Jessica headed over to the local McDonalds for lunch. After they had eaten, they went to their favorite place...the mall. AJ bought out a couple of stores, things that he needed of course, and Jessica bought a few things too.

After they were finally out of the mall, they went back to the hotel until the show and hung out with everyone. Jessica got dressed in her outfit for the concert in a couple of hours-a shimmery black sleeveless shirt, a long skirt to match, chunky black heels, and she wore her brunette hair in a topsytail so it was out of her face. Lauren was there with her; she was dressed in a light yellow silky sleeveless shirt, with a sheer jacket over it to match, dress pants and flats. Her blond hair was free of a ponytail, and it cascaded down her shoulders.

Soon after they left and arrived at the arena. Fans were pouring in at every angle, some hoping a BSB would notice them and fall in love, some were just hoping that they would read their sign and wave. Jessica stared at some of the older girls dressed in trashy outfits, and sighed. "Dressing like a tramp is not a way to get a guy’s eye. Be yourself and the guy won’t even be looking at your body," she thought. With Lauren right next to her in their front-row seats, she sat back, ready to enjoy the concert and watch her man in action.
