kristy's Point of View

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I stared into his eyes. Just now, as we had been fooling around, I had realized how incredably gorgeous he was. The way his hair fell into his face when he looked down, how his eye's were so blue that it felt like I was staring at the ocean, how sexy he looked when he was uncomfortable. "Damn Brian" I thought frustrated. "Nick probably thinks I'm a slutty.....whore for making a move on him" I ran my hands through my hair, and spoke softly.

"Uh......I'm gonna go sit with the guys" I told him nervously, and walked through into the entertainment area, leaving him in the hall. As I slide the door shut behind me, the guys looked up. Brian grinned.

"Did you have fun with Nick?" he asked. I glared. Kevin and AJ laughed. I blushed.

"Why do you ask?" I said coolly. Alex poked my in the side.

"Was he good?" he asked me with a smile. My mouth dropped open, and the other two laughed, watching me curiously.

"Guys!" I exclaimed, throwing my hands up in the air.

"Eh, we try" Kev chuckled.

"If you must know, nothing happened. We were interrupted" I stared pointedly at Brian. He winced.

"Nick'll have my head later."

Ooooorrrr Kristy will give Nick head" AJ mumbled to Kevin, and they snickered. Again I practiced my "You will die soon" look on them.

"You are so sex-oriented" I shot icily, rather embarrassed because I had gotten mental pictures when they were teasing me.

"Whoa, chill out Mr Freeze" Brian smiled gentley. "We're just teasin' cos' Nicky boy is so far gone on you he can't see straight"

I smiled. "I wish" I said to myself.

"What?" Kevin asked expectantly.

"Dammit, I said that outloud?" I said, instantly realzing it was the wrong thing to say. The guys hooted, and hi-fived.

"Oooooooo, the love bus" Brian sang.

"Kristy and Nicky, sittin' in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g, first somes love, then somes marraige, then comes sex on a baby's carraige" Kevin and AJ teased playfully. Aj started to moan softly, and said "Oh, Kris, harder Kris" I blushed madly, and stood up, hands on hips.

"Shut up!" I demanded. "God, you are such fuckers" Wrong thing to say.

"Only with girls, and condoms" Kevin laughed, and I grunted, annoyed.

"Just go on with your male discussion, and leave me alone"

Meanwhile at the front of the bus........

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Howie set down his book, and looked at Nick.

"What? You look like you need to talk, so talk" Howie asked expectantly.

Nick sighed. "D, do you think I have a chance with Kristy?" he asked nervously.

"Yea, I do. And I'm not just saying that. Why?"

"Well, cause in the bunks, when I was looking for Kristy, we were messin' around, and then just as I thought somethin was gonna happen...." Nick cringed at the memory "Rok interrupted"

Howie noddded understandingly. "Are you sure something was gonna happen?" he asked Nick cautiously, and Nick smiled.

"Pretty sure. But maybe I was just imagining it, ya know wanting it so bad that I made myself believe" he sighed again.

The door slid open, and Kristy walked in. Her eye's met Nicks, and she looked away, blushing. Nick stared at Howie as if to say "I told ya so"

"Your friends are such SEX MANIACS" she finished loudly, shouting down the hall. Muffled laughter came back at them.

"Only when you have- I mean give, us head- I mean, a reason" Brian called, and the guys hooted laughter. Kristy threw her hands up in the air.

"See what I mean" she cried, and dissappeared down the bus. Howie laughed.

"She's getting it twice as bad, don't worry" he smiled.

"God, I like her so much" Nick whined, and dropped his head into his hands. "The way she is so casual, and the way she smiles, and the way she is so relaxed, and playful, and everything" Howie smiled.

"Sounds more like a stalker to me" he teased, and Nick groaned.

"I think I'm screwed"

"No, but you can get screwed" Howie piped in. Nick's head shot up, and he glared.

"Sorry" Howie grinned " I couldn't resist. Come on Nicky--"

"Don't call me Nicky" Nick growled, severly pissed off.

"Fine, Come on NICK, see the light. She's a sexy 17-year old girl, your a mmphaydfjhads 17-year old guy. She's gonna get lonely for male attention, and with all us old men around, you'll have be the one to help her out"

Nick smiled faintly. "Yeah, right. Like that'll happen. All the guys in the crowd will be falling all over her, plus the Europe crew will be doing God know's what, trying to get a good fuck. I'm not like that, I can't just go and be like "hey baby, your place or mine" I'm too shy around her"

Howie smiled reassuringly at his friend. "So don't be so nervous, be yourself. Kristy doesn't seem like the type to go for sex and champagne."

"Promise?" Nick asked dejectedly, and Howie laughed.

"Get her alone, talk to her. I think she's a hopeless romantic"

"How can you tell?" Nick asked curiously.

"By the way she looks at you" Howie told Nick softly, and watched his face light up. "Gee, don't get too excited" he teased gently, and laughed. He could almost see the wheels turning in Nicks head, plotting how to get Kristy.
