Nick laid in bed for the rest of the morning with Tara in his arms. It felt soo good to hold her in his arms, he loved her soo much. It made him sad to think that after the morning they just shared that she still loved two guys at once, but he was happy knowing that he was making progress with her, and that she did love him back. He just needed to have a plan to make her all his, and not Justins.
Tara woke up in Nicks bed beside him, he was looking down at her and playing gently withher hair.
"Good afternoon, Tara" Nick said with a smile.
"what time is it?" Tara asked.
"2pm.. you slept for a little while, I didn't want to leave you" Nick replied.
"ohh..." Tara said. She wrapped her arms around Nick and pulled herself close to him to hug him.
The phone rang a few moments later, Nick let out a sigh. He didnt want to get out of his moment with Tara.
"I'll get it" Nick said, reaching over to the bedstand, where his phone was.
"Hello?"
"Hey Frack" Brian's voice echoed over the other phoneline.
"Frick! Whats up?" Nick said a little cheerfully now.
"Just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas! How was your christmas morning?"
"It was great, man! Listen, can I drop by your house this afternoon?"
"yeah sure, come at like, 4" Brian replied.
"okay.. see you then" Nick said, then hung up the phone.
"Tara, I have to get going, I'm going to Brians house.. are you going to be here this evening?" Nick asked with a grin.
"uhm, well... I think Justin wanted me to go over to his house for dinner.." Tara replied. Nick frowned at her reply.
"okay.. then.. I'll see you when you get back, I'll wait up for you" Nick said.
"alright.." Tara replied. She felt guilty leaving Nick to go to Justin's house, especially right after making love to him. Why did she have to be in love with two guys at the same time?
After Nick left the house, Tara took a shower and then drove to Marie's house, she needed to have a talk with Marie.
"Hey sis, whats up? Come on in" Mar greeted Tara, letting her into her house.
"Mar... I really really need to talk to you about something.." Tara said, kind of smiling.
"What is it?" Mar asked.
"Well, do you remember the other day when I admitted that I love Justin AND Nick?"
"oh yeah, of course I do, infact I havent really stopped thinking about that.. you really are in quite a situation" Mar said, sitting down on her couch. Tara took a seat on the chair that faced the couch.
"Well... something happened this morning.." Tara said, looking down at her feet.
"After we opened up presents... Nick and I kind of kissed.. and then.. we went up to his room..." Tara said, trailing off. Mar got the idea of what Tara was going to say.
"OH MY GOD" Mar said, eyes in complete shock.
"yeah" Tara replied calmly.
"You.. and Nick...." Mar said, putting two and two together.
"yeah" Tara said again.
"What about justin?" Mar asked right away.
"Well I love him too... Mar! AHHHH its just soo confusing! I've been with Justin longer, and we have never had sex, and then my feelings for Nick surface and I jump right in bed with him? I dont know what to do! I love both of them" Tara said sadly.
"Sis...." Mar said, going over to Tara and giving her a hug "who do you really want to be with?"
"I dont know.. I honestly dont know.." Tara replied.
"Both Justin and Nick say that I should give them both fair chances, and that I should see both of them, until I make my decision. But deep down, I know neither of them wants me to see the other"
"You have a point there... I do know they both love you very much tho, Tara. Kevin tells me how Nick is always talking about you, and then from Chris I hear how Justin is always talking about you also" Mar said. Her and Chris were friends now, since they met at the concert.
"what do you think I should do, Mar?"
"Honestly.. I think you should date both of them. Have your fun, you have the two hottest guys from the two hottest boybands loving you!" Mar said with a smile.
"What do I do about Nick? For sure hes going to expect me to pay more attention to him now, especially since we made love this morning.
"Pay him the same amount as you give Justin, altho, just cuz you slept with Nick, doesnt mean you have to sleep with Justin"
"I know"
Mar went silent for a few moments after, and so did Tara.
"So... how was it?" Mar asked with a grin, looking for details on Tara's mornign with Nick.
"It was.. amazing" Tara said with a smile and then she blushed. Mar laughed and smiled back.
"So what is it that you are soo eager to tell me, little Frack?"
"Man.. you wouldnt believe what happened this morning!" Nick said excited.
"You got a new nintendo game for christmas?" Brian asked, taking a wild guess.
"well, yeah.. but not that.. something else!"
"what is it?"
"Tara and I... this morning... we kinda made love" Nick said dreamily, thinking back to the morning.
"WHAT?" Brian said with shock.
"Tara and I.. had sex this morning" Nick restated.
"Nick man.... thats.. huge!" Brian said overwhelmingly.
"Yeah.. I know.. but I couldnt be happier"
"Well, congratulations man!" Brian said, hugging Nick "SO does that mean you and Tara are together?"
"uhh.. not exactly... " Nick stated "She admitted that she loves me, but she loves Justin also.. she said that she has to give both of us a fair chance, and I agreed to that. Then the sex just kinda happened" Nick said.
"wow... so she does love you then?"
"yeah, but she loves Timberlake at the same time, so shes kind of confused by all this. One thing's for sure tho... and that's I know I was her first"
Brian smiled at Nick. "I hope you get her, Nick! You deserve a great girl like her"
"Thanks man" Nick said.
"So how was it?" Brian asked with a grin.
"Beautiful..." Nick said with a smile.
Justin, JC, Chris and Joey were on the basketball court at the park, playing a game of two on two.
Justin and Chris were on one team, playing against JC and Joey. The boys had noticed a change in Justin, he seemed to be playing a little more rougher.
Justin passed the ball to Chris with such force that Chris almost fell over. Chris shot the ball and got it in the net.
"And KIRKPATRICK scores another one!" Chris said, running around the court doing a happy dance.
During the next round, Chris passed the ball to Justin, and on his way to the net, Justin shoved Joey.
"Yo man what is your problem!?" Joey said angrily.
"Nothing is my problem, I have no problem" Justin replied, taking the shot.
"If you have no problem then how come your acting like a freaking tornado?"
Justin stared at them and then threw the ball onto the grass. He turned his back and walked away, heading towards his Benz.
"Man.. wait up" JC said, running after Justin.
"What?" Justin asked annoyed.
"What is it.. I'm here for you, buddy"
"Its everything.." Justin replied "You wouldnt believe the mess Im in"
"Tell me, I'll try to understand" JC offered.
"Ever since I left on tour, thing's havent been the same with Tara. When I got back from the tour, I've tried to make things the way they were, but things just got worse, cuz now Nick Carter told Tara that he loves her, and he made it to my knowledge also. He told me he's going to fight his way for her"
"And you're afraid of Carter? Justin man, your stronger than him"
"yeah I know, but thats not all... Tara loves both of us, JC. She grew feelings for Nick when I was away.. I should have never have left her.."
"Man.. you cant help that.. we had to go on tour! She still loves you though, buddy! You still have a chance"
"Then how come i feel like i dont have a chance?"
"Cuz your worried, thats all. We'll help you out, J! We'll help you get Tara"
"Thanks man" Justin said.
"Wanna play some real ball, now?"
"Yeah" Justin replied with a smile, then followed JC out to the court.
"Got any plans for new years yet?" Justin asked Tara. He pulled her close to him and gave her a kiss on the lips.
"I'm going to the BSB concert" Tara replied.
"what are you doing after that?" Justin asked.
"Nothing, I think there's some party in Disney World that the whole group of us is going to. Why?"
"Well, I was wondering if you'd be my date for New Years.."
"oh, well... I kind of already have plans.. but.. you can come too! We can meet up in Disney World at the party"
"Sure that'd be great.. is Nick gonna be there?"
"uhmm, yeah.. he will be.." Tara said.
"Ok, well, I'm still coming, Im not going to let him stop me from seeing you"
