Love and Lies


"So what have you been up to?" Brian asked settling into one of the isolated front seats on the bus so that he could have some privacy.
"Umm...not much...actually pretty much becoming Backstreet Boys fans overnight.." Becca giggled sweetly.
"Oh really? And how did you do that now?" Brian laughed at his girlfriend's cuteness.
"Well Cassidy's cousins are huge fans, and we went on the net and listened to the CD and everything!" Becca informed Brian.
"Did you like the CD?" Brian asked.
"Oh yeah! Ohhhh what's the song me and Cassidy were killing ourselves laughing at.." Becca tried to think.
"Oh that sounds like a good sign..." Brian laughed.
"You wrote the book! That's what it was!" Becca remembered.

"Yeah.."

"Umm, oh there's nothing wrong with it! We thought Nick's high bit was really..umm...cool..." Becca giggled and Brian cracked up laughing.
"Oh ok! Well as long as you were only laughing at him and not me!" Brian said in his gorgeous accent that made Becca melt.
"No...you sounded perfect.." Becca said quietly.
"Awww...thank you ma'am!" Brian said making Becca laugh.
"So what are you guys doing today?" Becca asked changing the subject.
"Umm...going to an interview actually. Oh..that reminds me.." Brian replied.
"What?" Becca asked.

"Well it's pretty much a given that they're gonna ask which one of us have girlfriends...and I just wanted to ask you what you want me to say.." Brian said quietly.

"Umm....well I'm ok with you saying about us, it's up to you.." Becca answered.
She giggled, "Or you could go "non-committal" and say that your "seeing someone" if you are worried about everyone knowing, whatever.."

Amber started to remove the jersey Nick was wearing, he didn't protest and soon it was discarded on the entertainment room floor. She began to run her tongue and lips along his exposed skin. Nick bit his lip to stop from moaning in pleasure, unsure whether to let Amber continue.

*RING RING*

"Shit..."
"Nick just leave it.."
"It might be important.."
"Fine I'll get it..." Amber snapped, walking over to the TV and picking up Nick's cell phone before Nick could protest.

"Hello?!.." Amber panted, out of breath.

"Ummm, hello, who's this?" Cassidy asked bemused, wondering if she'd dialled the wrong number.

"Who's this??" Amber replied rudely.

Nick shook his head and got up, sitting on the couch. Amber could see that she was losing him so she walked over to where he was sitting and straddled his lap, still with the phone.

"Uhhh, this is Cassidy Gellar....would Nick be there by any chance?" Cassidy's voice replied nervously, not knowing what to think. The butterflies in her stomach fluttered with dread.

"Ummm, Nick? He's, uhhh..busy.." Amber giggled as her hand trailed from Nick's chest to his groin, her fingers playing with the buttons of his jeans.

"Oh ok....well just tell him I called when he's not so busy...." Cassidy struggled to hold her voice steady. Hot tears welled in her eyes ready to overflow.

"Yup..bye!" Amber promptly hung up.

"Who was it?" Nick asked testily, shifting uncomfortably beneath Amber.
"Some guy...." Amber lied and kissed Nick.

"Hmmm...non-committal, I guess that we could do that..." Brian said thoughtfully.
"Yeah I think that would be the best..." Becca smiled.
"You do realise that you are being EXTREMELY cool about this don't you?" Brian said sincerely.
"I know..." Becca laughed softly.
Brian laughed and a nice silence followed for a couple of moments as they both thought of each other.
"Hey Becca?" Brian broke the silence.
"Yeah..?"
"I miss you so much...you know that don't you?" Brian asked.
"Of course I do! I miss you too!" Becca replied.
"Well baby, this is my job...and you know that we have to go to Europe don't you?" Brian said a little worriedly.
"Yeah I know..." Becca said sadly, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Well I was just wondering..if, well...umm..If you'd wanna come? I mean I totally understand that you wanna stay completely independent and everything but it's just..." Brian gushed.
"I'd love to Brian!" Becca smiled interrupting him.
"Huh? Does that mean you'll come?" Brian crossed his fingers.
"Of course!" Becca laughed.
"OH YEAH!!" Brian yelled standing on the bus seat and doing a little dance.

Becca laughed. "You're dancing right now aren't you.."

"Of course not..." He tried not to laugh.
"Whatever..." Becca said knowingly.
"Hey baby I've gotta go cause we're at the studio, but you're gonna watch the interview right?" Brian asked walking back down the aisle to get his stuff.
"Oh yeah..." Becca replied happily.
"Ok cool, say hi to Cassidy for me!" Brian added.
"Ok love you!" Becca smiled.
"Love you more..." Brian's reply came before the phone went dead.

Nick broke the kiss and gently pushed Amber away.
"We've gotta go..." He said avoiding her eyes.
Amber looked at him for a moment before slowly getting off his lap.
"Here's your shirt.." Amber bent over ever so slowly to retrieve Nick's jersey from the entertainment room floor.
"Umm, I'm really sorry.." Nick started.
"Don't be..we can take this up again any time you want.." Amber winked at Nick and adjusted her skirt.
"You're a bad influence..." Nick teased with a grin on his face.
"Don't you forget it..." Amber smiled seductively and pulled Nick in for a soft kiss before walking out the door.
