Valentines day came around the corner quickly, each couple taking the time to spend the extra-thought and time with their signifigant other.
Tara woke up that morning to find her room completely covered in red roses, chocolate hearts, Backstreet Boys posters, and a present lay at the foot of her bed.
"what the.." Tara said, looking around the room.
Flower petals had been carefully laid on the top of her comforter, some falling onto the floor as she got out of the bed.
Tara walked over to the box wearing her boxers and a tshirt, and picked it up. She undid the red ribbon, lifting off the lip of the box to reveal a beautiful diamond necklace, the most beautiful necklace she had ever seen in her life.
"Oh My God..." Tara said speechless. The necklace that lay before her surely was breath-taking, its diamonds sparking in the morning sun.
Tara felt a pair of hands behind her on her shoulders, that took the necklace out of her hands and fastened it around her neck.
Tara turned around to see Nick standing there infront of her.
"Nick.." Tara started to talk, but Nick hushed her from talking.
"You know, there's only one valentines day out of the year, and that's the day where people show the people that they love them. I'm not going to let this valentines day slip away without showing you how much I love you" Nick said. Tara tried to speak again, but Nick had his finger infront of her mouth.
"I know what your going to say, 'I love Justin, you and I are only friends', but as you know, I love you, and I take happiness in the idea of believing that one day you will return my love. I'll let you have your happy day with Justin, but just remember, that I love you also" Nick said. He gave her a soft kiss on her cheek, and then left her bedroom.
Tara sat down on her couch, and looked at the necklace. She looked around her room, at all the posters Nick had put up while she was asleep, and all of the flowers that were in her room which were giving off a complete rose-garden scent.
Tara stared at a pictureframe that Nick had placed on her desk, it was a picture of her and him together shortly after she had moved into the house, they looked soo happy together.
"Happy Valentines Day, Karine" AJ said, surprising her with breakfast in bed.
"Happy valentines day, sweetie!" Karine said, giving AJ a kiss.
"I made you a large gourmet breakfast, everything from eggs, to waffles, to pancakes... just incase you were in a mood for something special" AJ said. He placed the large tray at the foot of the bed.
"Those are soo cute!" Karine replied, pointing out the heart shaped pancakes and heart shaped waffles.
"Thanks!" AJ said, proud of himself.
Karine picked up a fork and grabbed a piece of waffle, and placed it into AJ's mouth. AJ licked his lips afterwards, as Karine watched him.
In return, AJ took the fork away from Karine, and stabbed a forkful of pancakes, placing them in Karine's mouth.
After breakfast had finished, AJ took the trays downstairs while Karine headed towards the bathroom.
"Hey Kev...." AJ said, picking up the phone.
"Hey AJ.. we still on for supper tonight?" Kevin asked. Kevin and AJ had planned on taking Mar and Karine out to dinner, kind of a double date Valentines dinner.
"Sure are.. what time are you guys coming over at?"
"About 4:30, dinner reservations are set for 6" Kevin replied.
"ok great, listen..I have to go" AJ said, hearing the sound of the shower turning on.
"Okay, see you tonight, bro" Kev said, then hung up the phone.
AJ threw the dishes onto the counter and ran up the stairs.
He entered their bedroom, which was empty, and noticed that their bathroom door was shut.
AJ took off his socks, then his shirt, and then kicked his boxers off, making him completely naked. He had another surprise for Karine.
Karine had just climbed into the shower and was soaking, she was unable to hear AJ shut the bathroom door behind him.
AJ opened the shower door to see Karine standing there, and he jumped in beside her, shutting the door behind him.
"AJ... what are you doing?" Karine asked surprised.
"I thought I'd join you for a shower.." AJ replied, starting to kiss Karines neck.
"you dont mind.. do you?" AJ asked with a grin.
"of course not" Karine replied with a smile.
AJ stood his body up close to Karine's, wrapping his arms around her waist. The water from the showerhead made both of them a little slippery, and the steam rising up from the shower made it even hotter.
Karine could feel AJ's hardened package against her thigh, making her moan because she wanted him right then.
Karine lowered her hands to his manhood and started to play with him, stroking him softly, teasing him, making him even more excited than he already was.
AJ let out moans, and his breathing started to turn into more of a pant. He felt very excited by Karine's touch, and wanted to fulfill her. He leaned down and started to kiss her chest, pressing his lips softly against her breasts.
Karine found the sensation amazing, making her breathing pick up pace also.
AJ stood back up and picked up Karine, her wrapping her legs around his waist, him holding her up against the shower wall.
"Oh God, AJ... " Karine said, as he entered from beneath her. This was their first time making love in the shower.
"mmmm Karine.." AJ replied, trying to find a comfortable position where he can thrust.
Karine nibbled and kissed the top of AJ's ear while he kissed and sucked on her neck.
Fifteen minutes later, AJ felt a little tired from being in that position, and stopped the running water. He took Karine's hand and led her outside into the bedroom, where he contined their romantic valentines day rendez-vous.
Justin rang the doorbell to Tara and Nick's house, feeling a little awkward and hoping that Nick would not answer the door. Unfortunately for Justin, Nick opened the door.
"Hey, Tara here?" Justin said. He tried to be corgil.
"Yeah. Hold on, I'll go get her" Nick said. He shut the door at Justin, making him wait outside. Justin sighed and took a seat out on the chair that was on the deck in the front of the house.
Nick walked up the stairs and into Tara's room.
"Timberlake's here for you" Nick announced.
"Oh ok, thanks" Tara replied.
"What are your plans for tonight?"
"I have no idea!" Tara said "hes keeping it a surprise"
"Why dont you wear that new necklace I gave you this morning.." Nick suggested.
"I would wear it tonight, Nick, but I think it might be a little strange wearing it today.. and Justin would ask who gave it to me, and then I'd say you, and I dont want to cause a fight" Tara replied. "but I do love the necklace very much, thank you" Tara said.
She stood up and gave Nick a hug. His smile grew even wider at her.
"You look beautiful" Nick said.
"Thanks!" Tara replied. She grabbed her little red purse, the one that matched her red dress she was wearing, and headed down the stairs behind Nick.
Tara opened up the door and saw Justin sitting on the furniture outside. He was wearing a black and white suit, he looked very handsome. Tara was wearing a long red dress, that had little straps instead of sleeves, and the length of her dress went all the way down to her feet. It was a very fitting dress, and looked very sexy on her.
"Wow, you look amazing, Tara" Justin said, standing up. He presented her with a rose, which he was holding behind beside him, and gave her a soft kiss.
"Make sure you have her home at a decent time" Nick said, acting like a father.
Tara cast Nick a stare and then laughed, him laughing after she did.
"I'll be home sometime, dad" Tara replied. Nick smiled at Tara, then glared at Justin, and then shut the door.
Justin walked Tara to the large white stretch limo that was in the driveway.
"Wow! Look at the size of that..." Tara said. She had never been in such a large limo.
"Just wait till you see the inside!" Justin said, encouraging her to go inside. Tara climbed into the limo first, then Justin went in, the driver shutting the door behind them.
The limo drove Justin and Tara all the way to parking lot of the Magic Kingdom, otherwise known as DisneyWorld.
Justin stepped out of the limo and helped Tara out after him, holding onto her hand.
"We're goin to DisneyWorld" Justin said in a funny little kid voice. Tara laughed at him and gave him a hug.
"I feel like Im cinderella" Tara said, staring into Justin's eyes "And you, are my handsome prince.
"As long as I have you, Im the happiest prince around" Justin replied, giving her a kiss.
"Excuse me sir, your chariot awaits"
Justin released from his kiss and looked over at the chauffeur dressed guy, who was standing infront of a horse drawn chariot.
"oh wow!" Tara said, looking at the chariot and horses. Justin smiled, and helped Tara up onto the seat, him taking a seat beside her.
The horses rode Tara and Justin all the way around the Magic Kingdom, bringing them to all of the rides that they wanted to go on. They stopped to go on 20 000 Leagues Under the Sea, the Haunted House, Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, and many more.
"Ready for some dinner?" Justin asked, his arm wrapped around her.
"Love some!" Tara replied with a smile. The chauffeur drove Justin and Tara down to Main Street USA, up to the front of Cinderella's castle.
A footman opened the door for them, allowing Justin and Tara to walk down the red carpet into the castle, where they had dinner reservations inside the ballroom.
"Where's Nick?" Justin asked, walking into Nick and Tara's house.
"I dont know.. he never said he was going anywhere.." Tara replied.
"Looks like hes not home.."
"I agree.." Tara said, flicking on the lights.
"Well... since hes not here... we can take advantage of this situation.." Justin said, leaning down to kiss Tara. Tara giggled and took Justin's hands into hers, and led him up the stairs to her room.
The next morning, Nick walked down the hallway to Tara's bedroom, the door was shut. He opened it up and walked in, without knocking first, and saw Tara asleep with Justin.
A sudden rush of anger and madness ran through him, he clenched his fists. He turned around and shut the door quietly, and realized that it was time to turn up the heat on his plan to win Tara.
