That night, after Nick and Tara had finished making love and were laying in bed, Nick was telling Tara all about the plans for the new Backstreet album. Tara, being an honest person, wanted to tell Nick about how she ran into Justin today before anyone else would tell him. She didnt want him to mistrust her.
"Nick, there's something that I want to tell you, that happened today at the mall". Tara raised her dark brown eyes to look into Nick's beautiful blue ones.
"okay.. go ahead" Nick said. He started caressing Tara's bare back.
"When I was at the mall earlier this afternoon, I bumped into Justin"
The look on his face went to a neutral expression.
"He didnt talk to me for very long, it was really awkward.. but I just thought I'd let you know" Tara said "I like to be honest"
"I know you do, and thank you for telling me. Im not really worried though, honeybear. I know that you love me"
"Got that right" Tara said with a wide grin. She leaned up to give Nick another kiss, which lasted into another love making session.
The next morning, Laura arrived at Nick and Tara's house at about 8am, ready with her luggage to head off to the beautiful island of Dominican, which is in the Carribean.
Brian grabbed her bags and threw them into his Nick's truck, which was going to carry all of thir luggage to the airport.
"You pack lightly" Brian said, looking at the amount of bags that Laura had with her.
"Well, Frick, not EVERY girl has to have 20 bags with her for a two week vacation!" Laura said.
"I guess your right, I remember Leigh Anne brought like, a hundred bags with her all the time, wherever we went.. it didnt even matter how long we were gone for.." Brian rambled on. He looked up and saw Laura staring at him.
"Im sorry.." he said "sometimes I talk about her, and I dont even realize it"
"Its alright, it happens all the time to me, but I talk about Brad"
"Have you seen him lately?" Brian asked.
"No, not really.. last time I saw him was at my first exam.. last week"
"I bet you're glad exams are done" Brian said, trying to change the subject off of their exes.
"Oh yeah, now i have a nice five months off of school.. Im in total glory" Laura replied "and what better way to start it off than to start it on the beautiful island?"
Tara and Nick raced down the stairs with their bags, acting all goofy.
"Are they always like that?" Laura asked, laughing at the couple.
"ALWAYS" Brian replied, shaking his head.
Nick threw his and Tara's luggages into the truck.
"Ready to go?" Nick eagerly said.
"Yeah sure.. Laura and I will follow you guys.." Brian suggested.
"Sounds alright to me" Laura said, walking over to Brians Jeep.
Mar, Kevin, Karine and AJ were already at the loading terminal, sitting down, conversing with one another.
Shortly after Nick, Brian and the girls arrived at the airport, the plane started to load.
The eight of them took their seats on the plane, Laura sitting with Marie during the flight, and Kevin sitting with Brian. AJ and Nick were sitting with their girls.
The flight into the Caribbean took about four hours, Nick and Tara sleeping most of the way through the flight. Brian, Kevin, Mar and Laura had started games of Asshole, to pass by the time. Kevin kept on getting mad cuz he kept losing, which made him the asshole.
Two consecutive limo's brought the group of eight to the hotel with their luggage. The reservations were set for four rooms, two which had King Sized Beds for the two couples, the other two rooms had two Queens which were for the friends that were sharing.
By the time they arrived at the hotel, it was 8pm at night due to timezone changes, and the sun was starting to set. Karine and AJ took off right away to the beach to watch their first Carribean sunset together.
"Want to go watch the sunset also?" Nick asked Tara.
"No.. I'd rather initiate our room.." Tara said, giving Nick a grin.
"Initiate? how do you do that?" Nick asked with a grin, pretending not to know.
"I'll show you.." Tara said, grabbing Nicks hands and leading him into the bedroom.
Brian knocked on Mar and Laura's door, standing there with Kevin.
"Would you like to go get something to drink, ladies?" Kevin asked politely. He smiled over at Mar.
"We'd love to" Mar replied. She grabbed her purse and went into the hallway.
"Are you coming, Laur?"
"Yeah, just a minute.." Laura's voice came from the bathroom. She came out of the bathroom in a pair of khaki shorts and a white sleeveless top, that had little straps.
"You look nice" Brian said, complimenting her.
"Thanks!" she replied. She passed Brian and followed Mar and Kevin down the hallway, Brian shut the door behind her.
The sun shone brightly down on the gleaming white sand of the ocean shore. Nick and Tara lay side by side on a beach blanket, their bodies glistening and tanning in the sun.
Karine and AJ had left their towels to play a game of volleyball with Kevin and Marie.
"I'm feeling a bit faint from the heat.. want to go for a walk?" Brian asked Laura.
"sure, we should bring a drink with us though, to keep us cooled down" she suggested. Brian reached into the cooler they had with them and passed her a bottle of water.
Walking along the shore, Brian and Laura talked about things that they liked, to find out what they had in common. Brian often asked her questions, to find out more about her, she seemed to be a really nice girl.
"And what about you, Mr Littrell... what do you enjoy most about your life?" Laura asked, walking along the shore.
"What do I enjoy the most? Being a Backstreetboy, and all of the things that I have experienced from being in the group" Brian replied. "the group was the best thing that ever happened to me"
"Do you ever feel like you've missed out on anything since you're always busy?"
"Yes, of course, it comes with the job. I feel like most of my relationships never work out because I am always away, or the girl usually ends up getting jealous because of the fans. I'd like to have a girl who can trust me, and love me for me"
"Thats understandable.. you deserve to have someone good" Laura said.
"Thanks Laura" Brian said with a smile. He looked over at her into her hazel eyes and smiled softly again.
"I'll race you to the ice cream place.. loser has to buy two cones" Laura said, running ahead to the place, giving Brian a late start.
"Spring Break really is fun when your young enough to enjoy it" Kevin said, standing in Mar and Laura's doorway.
"Too bad your almost 30!" Marie joked. Kevin frowned, he was 29 years old, almost thirty, but every spring break always reminded him of his youth years.
"Whats wrong boobear?" Mar asked, pulling Kevin into her room. She shut the door behind him.
"Nothing, I feel old" Kevin replied.
"You dont look old, Boo" Marie said. She shut her drawer of clothes and took a seat on the bed. Kevin took a seat beside her, and looked over at her.
"Im getting old though, thats the fact.." Kevin said "All my friends are married, and some of them evem have children now... I want that to happen to me"
Mar's look frowned, the subject of marriage had come up again.
"Oh Boo, I know you do, I really do. You know how I feel tho, I dont want to get married right now! Im happy with my life the way it is" Marie said.
"I know, Mar... but Im getting older.. I cant wait forever.."
"I know, Im sorry Boo.. you know I love you, though"
Mar moved herself closer to Kevin and wrapped her arms around his strong neck.
"I love you too Mar.. I miss you soo much when we're not together. I want us to be together"
"I want us to be together too, Kevin. I just dont want to get married right now, thats all..."
"I can handle that.." Kevin said "I just need you soo much" He lowered his face to hers and gave her a strong kiss on her lips, pushing her back to lay on the bed.
Marie responded to Kevin's kisses and caressed his muscular back, playing with the bottom of his tshirt. She slid her hands under his shirt, and moved her hands up to his muscular shoulders, pulling him ontop of her.
"Where's Laura?" Kevin asked. Laura was Marie's roommate for the vacation.
"Shes out having supper with Brian.." Marie replied inbetween kisses.
"Okay" Kevin said. He lifted Marie's shirt off of her and threw it on the floor. Marie giggled and took off Kevins shirt, running her hands down his muscular manly chest.
"Make love to me, Kevin Richardson" Mar said seriously, looking into Mar's eyes.
Kevin gave Marie a large grin, moving his hands down to her shorts.
