Were we left off....
Just then Nick smiled at me as Jeff walked over.
"Sorry about that guys... I thought it was someone important"
"No problem.. Jason and I have just decided that he would come to the Gym with us tomorrow"
"OF really! That's great.. so I guess we'll be seeing you tomorrow morning then?"
"Bright and Early.. What room you guys in?"
"Top Floor.. room 263" Nick said.
"Well that's Nick's room. The label always gives him and drew a room. And then me and Justin. The rest of us are in 216"
I knew that they had probably given Nick his own room so that he could clear out his head.
"Alright.. I'll see you bright and early"
The guys walked off. I didn't want to seem like a pervert but I was excited to see all the guys working out. I hadn't mentioned that I was gay/bi but I didn't think it mattered all that much. I went to my room and showered.. getting ready to wake up early the next morning.
--------------------- Shut Up - Scene 3 ---------------------
I wasn't really sure of what all the guys would do in the Gym so I through on some shorts and a white shirt. Something casual. I brought along some trunks incase they went for a dive.
I left my room at about a quarter till ten. I went to the top floor and knocked on room. 216. There was no answer for some reason. I then proceeded on to 263. I knocked on the door and was about to turn away when I heard the handle opening. Nick opened the door. All he had on was a robe. It was tied quickly so I could see a good part of his chest. I through those thoughts out of his mind as I knew he was married.
"Hey! I didn't think that you were going to show up!"
"Why would you think that?"
"I dunno.. I guess its just the way I am. Hey, come on in."
Nick opened the door and stepped back. What I saw before more completely blew me away. I could see a full size family room with a large screen TV. A full size kitchen, and dining room. I could see a pretty large bathroom but the windows were steamed up. There was also a door in the bathroom witch I assumed led to the bedroom.
I stepped in "Wow! This room is amazing"
"Doesn't the label give you something like it?"
"No.. I have probably the worst room possible."
"Well, I'm going to get changed and I'll be right out. Make yourself at home!"
He walked into the bathroom and closed the door. I walked around but something on the counter caught my eye. It was addressed to Mr. Lachey, and it was from a law firm. I paid no attention and kept on walking around enjoying the view. Nick then came out wearing some black sweatpants and a muscle shirt. His arms looked awesome!!
"Ready?"
"Always"
Nick smiled at me and grabbed his bag. He put his arm around my shoulder. "I'm glad you came" He said as we walked out of the room to the elevators.
We walked into the gym about 5 minutes later. Nick checked in and started to pay for himself when I said don't worry about it. The record label covers all this. It actually only cover's me and my guest, but that day... Nick was my guest.
We went to the locker room and plopped down our stuff and laughed on the way out at Naked old men. We started at one machine and worked to another. Him starting & me spotting, and then we switched. The day went really good and we had some awesome conversation. I could have sworn that there was also a little flirting too. I immediately put that out of my mind though because Nick was married. We ended the day in the bathroom. Nick, Drew, Jeff, Justin, and I. You had to take showers two at a time because there were only two showers. We didn't want to hold up anybody. I wasn't pared with anybody so I went first. Nick & Justin went second. Drew, Jeff, and I talked as we were doing various things like shaving, grooming, clipping nails, and even trying on new hairstyles (drew).
"Nick seems to be in a better mood today then he was yesterday" I said with a grin.
"Really.. that's odd" Said Drew.
"I've noticed it also, but it is weird" said Jeff.
"What's weird about that? Is Nick usually always a big downer or something?"
"No... have you and Nick talked about anything that happened today?" said Jeff.
"Ahh... let me see, we talked about the fact that he had an enjoyable breakfast by himself that he made. That's really it. He told me that he didn't think I would come because we all work for the same company, etc. But that's basically all that we talked about that happened today. Why?"
Drew & Jeff both looked at eachother and looked away.
"Is there something a matter??" I said kinda getting mad
that they weren't telling me.
"No.. its just that something else happened in which he odviously didn't tell you about" Said Drew looking to Jeff for support.
"I'm surprised me that he didn't tell you. You two have gotten kinda close." Said Jeff.
I gave them both a funny look "You guys have me TOTALLY lost!!"
Drew looked down and began to run some water. I looked at him and then I looked back up at Jeff who turned away.
"Look, I understand that you guys are his friends and everything, and I haven't known him that long but this seems important.. don't you think I should know??" I pleaded with them.
"Ask him..." Jeff said that as he and Drew walked away. Nick then walked up beside me with just a towel on. I had my shirt on and some shorts.
I have to admit that I was turned on.. but I wasn't going to say anything. Justin had passed us up and went around the corner to where I had gone to get dressed.
"Ask him what?" Said Nick with a smile while grabbing some shaving cream from me with another wink and a smile.
"Nick, I hate to be rude and you really don't have to tell me this, but is something bothering you?"
"Not at all" Nick said this while applying some shaving cream.
"Ok, well don't get mad but Jeff and Drew said that something should be wrong. They didn't actually say that, but that's what they were implying. If there is you can tell me" I looked at Nick.. trying not to give him the once over.
"Its nothing really..." Nick said while warming up some water.
"Are you sure?" I replied.
"Yup.. don't worry about it man. You'll know soon enough" Nick said that while he started to shave.
Justin eventually came back over and adjusted his hair. I slipped on my shows and Nick washed off his face. He disappeared around the corner to change. Just then Drew and Jeff came over to me and I nodded my head no as they walked past. They went to the corner of the room where Nick was. Justin and I were alone.
"So.. you hanging with us today?" Justin said while sitting next to me and slipping on his own shoes.
"I'm not sure. I really don't have any plans"
"Yaw, neither do we. We were thinking of going to the beach because its only a few hours drive. But we haven't decided yet. You'd be welcome to tag along."
"Do you guys always do this?"
Justin had a surprised look on his face as he looked at me "What do you mean??"
"You know what I mean. Meet a random person and then just hang out with them. Not that there is anything wrong with that" I said with a good tone.
"Nope. We never have. Jeff & Nick both seem to like you pretty well for just knowing you. We respect all of eachothers opinions and just kinda go with the flow if you know what I mean"
"But you don't have to be nice to me or invite me along"
"Yaw I do.. I don't know you very well yet, but I have a good feeling about you" He slipped on his shoes and stood up. Extending his hand to help me up. I stood up to.
At that moment the other three guys came over. Justin told them that we had talked and we decided that we would all go to the beach and that I would drive. We left the Gym. I had my trunks already but the guys did not. I decided to go back to Nick's room, and the other guys went to there own room.
Once the door closed behind me Nick flicked off his shoes and threw off his shirt. Leaving only his sweatpants on. And whatever else he had on.
"I need to tell you something" Nick said with kind of a harsh tone.
"OF.. ok. Sure" I said kind of hesitantly. Nick led me to a huge window that overlooks most of the city.
"The guys told me that they started talk to you earlier, and they said that I owed you details. Now, I feel like I can trust you and so do the guys. So.. if I tell you this you have to promise me that this is not going to get it."
"I promise" I said with a smile. Nick smiled back.
"As you heard.. Jessica and I have been on the rocks lately. Well, this morning I received a letter from her. A very heartfelt letter, and I received a letter from her lawyer too."
"Her lawyer???"
"Ya.. Jess wants a Divorce"
