PART SIXTEEN

"Oh my god!" Jem dropped the glass of wine she was holding, spilling it all over the cream carpet of her hotel room. She had decided to stay there as AJ was recording for a new solo album that week and she hated being left on her own. She grabbed for her phone, completely ignoring the huge red stain at her feet. Scrolling through the names she came to the one she was looking for. It rang....... finally, just as she was going to end the call someone answered.

******** Nick's arms were still wrapped around me as my pocket started vibrating. He could feel it through my clothes.

"Wow!" He looked deep into my eyes; "I must really turn you on!"

"It's my phone, ass!" I pulled the small device out of my pocket and pressed the green 'Answer' button; "Hello?" I never looked at the name, so it was always a mystery who I would be talking to.

"Has he lost his mind!" Ah Jem, her voice always ran through me like a knife.

"What?" I asked innocently

"What do you mean, what?" She sighed "I can get GMTV over here you know." The penny took a free fall, I realised what she was blabbering on about.

"He wanted to do it." I stated reasonably

"Put him on" She sounded worried more than anything else.

I sighed and handed the phone to Nick, saying; "The Ice Queen wants a word."

They talked and talked and talked. Finally handing the phone back to me, Nick said; "She can be SO interfering!"

"You noticed!" I laughed

"I told her everything would be alright, but I don't think she belived me." He sighed

"What makes you say that?" I asked

"She's coming home."

"Oh." She's always overreacting to something. Like the first time we met, It was the first day of filming my first movie. I was stuck in traffic and was a few minutes late, she went into a spasmatic fit and nearly fainted! I tell you, she is (and sometimes should be) highly strung!

We were about to walk out of the Green Room when it was Nick's phone's turn to start. He took a deep breath and looked at me. "Here we go!" He raised the phone to his ear; "Hello?"

I smiled as I heard Kevin's voice, clear as a bell, berating him for not talking this over with the rest of the guys. I hadn't really got to know Kevin yet, but from the way he sounded, it was always best to stay on the right side of him!

The calls kept coming. First Kevin, then Howie, then Brian bitching cos he couldn't get through, he, it seems, was the only one in the entire world to not see the interview;

"You did WHAT?!" Brian had said loudly

"Hey don't you start!" Nick smirked "I've had nonstop ass whoopin' for the last forty-five minutes!"

"Why now?" Brian asked, obviously trying to process the news

"Why not?" Nick asked back; "Put yourself in my place, your so totally in love with someone and you can't even walk down the street without someone spotting you and splashing your business all over the place..... What would you do?"

"Alright boy!" Brian laughed "I was looking for a reason and I got one."

"Bri this is hard for me." Nick sighed "Apart from you guys, Carl and my family, no one knew."

"Now everyone does." Brian finished for him "And your scared?"

"Damn right I'm scared. But not of how people see me. I'm still the same guy, but how will it affect other people...... the one's I love?"

"It'll be fine, trust me..." Brian smiled

"Your a doctor?" Nick laughed

"I would say I'd check YOU over but your boyfriend may get jealous!" Brian growled sexily across the continents!

"Mr Littrell are you flirting with me?!" Nick did his best to sound coy, but just ended laughing his pants off!

"And why not?" Brian stated straight faced "A good flirt never hurt nobody!"

"It may hurt you if your WIFE heard you!!" Nick was practically creased up on the floor, tears streaming down his face. I just stood quietly and let him have his fun!

"I miss talking to you!!" Brian weezed

"I miss you all to." Nick let the laughs subside as he became more serious again.

"Then come home." Brian suggested

"I don't know if I want to....Not just yet."

"You have to soon," Brian said earnestly "We have that concert remember?"

"Which concert?"

Brian let out an exsaperated sigh; "The Summer Break one. Us, *Nsync, Shakira, Rob Thomas and that brit group..... West thing...?"

"Westlife," Nick said remembering "And they're Irish,"

"Whatever, we have to start rehersals in the next couple weeks. I'm sure Carl wont mind, will he?"

"Well, no. It's my job but we just got engaged and, ya know, we want to spend every waking minute with each other."

"I know," Brian said sympathetically. He felt the say when he had to leave Leighanne. "But spending too much time together could do more damage than good. You never know, the time apart may do you good!"

"To be honest," Nick laughed down the phone "I don't want to find out!"

Nick looked at me, I had no idea what the conversation was about, but in the last five minutes Nick's expression had changed from exasperation to laughter thru reluctance and dissapointment. A pretty heavy phone call.

"So, what do you want to now, queer boy?" I joked as we stepped into the car outside the GMTV studios

"Hide." He smiled back at me.

"Hell no!" I shouted "We are going to spend your hard earned cash!" I told the driver to take us to Regents Street. We started there and by the end of the day we had been over London and hit - Gucci, Prada (I brought this snazzy hand bag for Jem) Versace, Armarni, Claridges (for lunch) Harrods and back to Regents Street to round the day off with a trip round Hamleys! I love toys...... of all kinds!

But the sweetest thing happened as we walked out of Hamleys. A kid, no more than 17, came up to us;

"Nick.....Mr Carter....." He stammered "I just wanted to thank you."

"Thank me, why?" Nick asked bemused, he had never seen the boy in his life.

"I told my parents I was gay this morning," He looked on the edge of tears. "You gave me the courage to do that, so I thank you." He wiped his eyes before walking away into the crowd. Nick stood, the people of the metropolis not even noticing he was there.

"Nick?" I asked concerned.

He leaned up against a wall and tears started rolling down his face. "I came out for me..... for us," He looked at me "I didn't think it would have this affect on someone else." Then he smiled. Nick smiled almost the whole day after that. I loved seeing him like this. He always made the day a little brighter when he was happy.

We had people coming up to us with there opinions of what Nick had said this morning; Nearly all were good. My paticular favorite was the old lady who told us we'd be together forever. I love old people!

"Christ, boy!" Nick laughed as we flumped into the limo once more. "You are a super spender!!"

"That's not all I can do!" I laughed, closing the divided between us and the driver.

"Don't I know it!" Nick attacked me, litterally, jumping on my lap. His lips pressed firmly against mine, his tounge rolled around my mouth. He slowly, teasingly, undid my shirt.... button by button. He ground himself into my lap making me hard as his hand slipped inside my shirt to play with my nipples. I gripped his jean clad arse in my hands letting him do all the work! I panted as he tweaked my hardening nipples and he started licking my earlobes. Jeezs this boy knew some hot shit! Pushing down his trousers, he undid my zip and released my blood-engorged cock. He slowly pulled down on my foreskin causing me to buck my hips up. I bit my lip as he breated on my swollen cockhead. His tounge ficked over it sending pulses of sentual sensations over my body. I pushed his head down on me until his nose was buried in my pubes. He bobbed up and down on me for a while before pushing me down on to the leather seats, then he moved into the 69 and pushed his cock into my waiting mouth. I nibbled and sucked on his throbbing dick, feeling the power I had over him. He ran his hands up and down my back, lifting my shirt and pushing his hands into my pants! His finger pushed slowly into my twitching hole. I moaned as I felt the digit.

"You like that, huh?" Nick breathed

"Hummm!" I mumbled with his cock in my mouth.

Nick pulled me up, off of his dick, and slowly he pulled down my white Tommy boxers and pulled me into his lap. I panted as I impaled myself on him. As I bounced on him, he jerked my now rigid, purple, cock. Ieaned in a kissed him deeply as he fucked me just a deep.

This was the second timewe had made love in a car! It lasted until we came, it was also becoming a habit!

The car pulled up outside the Savoy Hotel where we were to have dinner with Nick's parents, just as I buttoned up the last of the buttons on Nick's shirt. He pecked me on the lips as we stepped out of the car. This was the first time I had been to the Savoy. I mixed in high circles now, but down deep I'm just a poor boy from above a chip shop in Putney! Talk about swanky! There were chandellers and everything! Men dressed as penguins running back and forth, taking orders, fixing drinks.

We found Jane and Bob sitting by a window that looked out onto the street outside.

Nick mother was looking worried as we approached. She was sipping delicately from her glass of ice water.

"Mom, what is it?" Nick asked as he sat down.

"Why did you do it?" She said quietly

"Because I had to." Nick stated simply

"Isn't it enough your in a happy relationship?" She said back as Bob and I just sat there, outsiders in this conversation.

"Frankly no." Nick said "I've been having to hide who I am all my life......." He sighed "I had enough."

"Nick," Jane sighed along with him "What's this going to do to your career?"

"Why should it affect my career?" Nick asked, his eyes twinkling in their own expressive way "Look at Elton John, George Micheal..... has being gay affected them?"

"Yes!" Jane stated pointedly.

"In the beginning maybe," Nick conceeded "It's going to be different for me, for us. I'll make sure of that." He took my hand and held it tight.

We finished lunch, the previous conversation forgotten. We laughed, drank, talked, drank, laughed some more and drank some more! All in all it had been a good day.

The next morning the papers landed on our mat. Emblazened across all of the tabloids were variations of "NICKS GAY!"

"And so it begins!" He smirked as he threw the papers on the table we had on the balcony.

"At least it gives those reporters something to do!" They had been camped outside my building for days now. At least on the balcony we could get some peace. It was at the back of the building, next to the water and all that was opposite was a vast scrubland, and even reporters wouldn't walk on the crap that was scattered over it!

Nick poured a cup of coffee, sipped it slowly, then closed his eyes.

"Whatcha thinking?" I asked running a hand down the back of his neck

"I gotta start rehersals day after tomorrow." He sighed "It'll take my mind off of things but you'll be here on your own." He gazed at me with his crystal clear blue eyes.

"Hey, don't worry about me!" I laughed as I moved in to kiss him "Didn't I tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"I'm doing a treatment for Darren Hayes new single!" I was actually very happy at the prospect. Darren's songs were more than ordinary songs. He observed things and as a director that gave me a lot of ideas to work with.

"Sexy!" Nick chuckled

"Hey! Just remember who wears your ring!" I said waggling my finger in his face

"Do you HAVE to be smutty at the breakfast table!" Nick cracked up as I looked at him with the 'OK, someone wake me when there's a joke' look! But in all fairness, Nick had made a valid point - Darren Hayes was very attractive! Well, to me anyway!

"So anyway," I changed the subject as I lifted my feet and rested them on Nick's lap; "I'll be in Sydney on Tuesday."

"We'll be even further away from each other. How long for?"

"Just a couple weeks." I lit my first cigarette of the morning and blew a perfect smoke ring. Nick took the white stick off me and inhaled deeply, so I lit myself another one. This felt good. Relaxed. Easy....... Stale, maybe?

Before I had met Nick I used to party every weekend. Me, the Girls, crusin' the town painting it multicoloured! Then, it had been so easy. I could go anywhere, do anything. Now, I can't even go down the street without a camera crammed up my arse. I think I may be getting boring, and I dont like it. Maybe some time away from each other will revitalise us. I had missed him when we had fought before the accident, I needed that passion back. I needed to miss him again. Does that sound stupid? Oh, I don't know. Welcome to 'My Life The Soap Opera!" Since the accident we had spent all our time together.

"But we need some time apart," Nick said, reading my mind. "Don't you think?"

"Yeah," I said, quickly following with; "Not that I don't love being with you!"

He smiled. I smiled. I still saw why I fell in love with him. I still saw his intellect and kindness. I still saw his gorgeous face, I still wanted him, but nowhere near as intentsely as I had.

The days passed. We hugged, kissed, made love, all the time we could. Then finally the time had come. We stepped into the car and, ignoring the reporters, sped off towards the airport. All of Nick's things had been sent on ahead. I had the most intense feelings going on inside me. I wanted him to stay, I wanted to go, I wanted my space, I wanted to....... scream.

We stood holding each other for ages. The final call for the flight was called.

"Call me." I wispered as I kissed him.

"All the time." He wispered back.

"How about three times a week?!" I smiled

"I don't know if I can hold out that long!" He laughed.

He put his hands on my hips. I put my arms around his neck. This kiss had a different feel than all the others. Different from the first on the beach, the difiance in the Car park in Beverly Hills, different to the shiver-inducing kiss at Nick's house in Orlando. This one signalled a change. Something was changing in our relationship, and I'll be damned if I know what's coming next.

The gate closed, and he was gone. Then the tears came.

Jem's flight had arrived two hours ago and she wasn't here. She was slipping! Just as the thought had entered my head, the door burst open and in she came clutching bags and a large bottle of tequila.

"Nice hair!" I said as I saw her new purple shade. "Kelly Osborne had better watch out!"

"Very funny!" She laughed fakely (Is that even a word?) "Now take these bastard bags before I drop them!"

I, being a gentleman waited for a few more seconds before finally helping her out!

"What the fuck have you got in here?" I asked as I took hold of the heafty bags

"Well, those two are my clothes,"

"And the other six?" I laughed

"Don't exaggerate...... Theres only four!"

"Alright, what's in the other four then?"

"Just a few snacks."

"For what? London Zoo?!"

"You know, one day you may actually grow a good joke in that perfectly formed head of yours!"

"Dont start!" I said blushing, hoping now she was with AJ she'd keep her feelings for me in check!

"Dont think I'm gonna jump ya or nufink'" She said pulling things around in MY kitchen!

"Nearly two months in America and you still sound like you woz dragged up by a pack on cockneys!!"

"You can take the girl out of London," She started opening and closing draws. BANG BANG!

"Watch the draws! I only had them put in a few weeks back!"

"Shut it!" She rose with a triumphant look on her face and two shots glasses in her hands. "One now, and more when the girls get here!"

"You called the Girls?" I hadn't seen them in ages. I hadn't even seen them after the accident........ admittedly, I hadn't called them, but still!

"We're going to have a girly night!"

"Babe," I said cocking my head to one side "I don't really feel like it. Not tonight. Nick's just left, I'm going to Austrailia day after tomorrow."

"Yes I heard! Thanks for telling me!" She acted hurt

"Sorry, It just happened really quickly." I explained "I just dont feel like an orgy of drunken women berating men, watching stupid horror films and puking in the morning."

"You sound like you have a choice." She smiled "We are having a girly night, so get used to it. Why do you think I got all this food!"

"I thought you were on a new 'Stuff everything in ya gob' diet'."

"Bitch." She gave me a would-be withering look.

"Thank you!" I bowed dramatically "When do they get here." I said as the doorbell rang.

"About now." Jem waved at me to get the door as she reached back into the cupboard to grab somemore glasses.

I looked at the worm in the bottle of Tequila as I walked past. 'Wanna swap places?' I asked quietly.

I took a deep breath and opened the door.

Cas, small asian sexpot, was now hanging off my neck!

"CARL!!" She screamed "Why the HELL haven't you called me!?"

"I've been busy!" I hugged her. In all honesty I had missed her. It had been too long.

"How's your back? What happened with Darren, are you REALLY going out with Nick Carter? Jem said you were!" The questions came in one long breath. That's the thing with Cas, she's loud and constant! I'm suprised she has lungs, she never seems to use them!

"In order?" I smiled "Fine, He tried to kill me twice and yes I am."

Her face was a picture! He smile grew about 12 feet! She started bobbing up and down on the spot, clapping her hands!

"My friend's dating a BACKSTREET BOY!!"

"Engaged to... actually!" Jem piped in, tipping half a bottle of Vodka, half the Tequila, nearly a whole bottle of Archers and a carton of fruit juice in to a large plastic bowl!

"Your engaged?!" She asked breathlessly

I nodded.

"No FUCKING WAY!!"

"Yes fucking way!" I said as I flopped into my armchair, with Cas kicking off her shoes and dropping her coat behind the sofa, before dropping into the huge seat.

"Does anyone know he's gay?!" Cas asked completely oblivious

"Do you watch TV?" I asked "Or read a news paper?" I threw her an old copy of "The Sun".

"Holy heck!" She said scanning the story of Nick coming out, three days ago. It felt longer!

"That, my small pocket person, is the understatement of the century!" I laughed "Now he's gone back to America the reporters have mostly gone too."

"Shit!" She said in awe. "Are you alright now he's gone?"

The dreaded question. Was I alright? "I don't know. He's been with me everyday for months, now all of a sudden he's gone. Yeah, I'm alright...... I just miss him."

"Awwww!" Cas came over, sat on my lap and wrapped her arms around my head. "Your so cute!"

"God not you too?!" I laughed

"Eh?" Cas asked

"Never mind!" Jem said as she came over with the bowl and four glasses.

"Where is that lazy bitch!" Cas asked "She said she'd be here by 8. It's half past now." Once again as if answering the question, the doorbell rang.

"I'm guessing that's her!" I chuckled. Jem went to the door.

"You took your time!"

"Gob shut, get me a drink!" Kirsty slammed the door behind her. "Fucking traffic!"

"Still not getting any of the good stuff?!" I asked with a wicked smile on my face.

"Shut it fairy!" She came over to me giving me a huge hug "You alright babe?"

So, the whole story of my time with Nick - First kiss, first fuck, first fight, first murder attempt, second murder attempt and his going away - was repeated to all and sundry!

"So that's it," I finished, downing the 'Black Death' Jem had prepared - Wooooo!

I looked into three pairs of stunned eyes. Finally Cas' hand moved her drink to her mouth,

"Wow." She said simply

"Fuckin' wow!" Kirsty agreed

"Who wants another drink?" Jem shouted getting up

"Yea" My story had been forgotten after the offer of booze! Thank god!

"So anyway," Cas slurred "There I was, just in this bra and thong thing, with his wife on the other side of the door!!" The whole room exploded in laughter. Kirsty knocked her drink.

"Watch it!" I could hardly keep my eyes open, "New carpet!" I said promptly dropping the joint that had been hanging out of my mouth. I don't usually smoke dope....... much. But every now and then. That would be one for the papers - BACKSTREETS BOY DOES DOPE!!

"Someone's moving the floor!" Jem called from the bathroom.

"Incosiderate bastards!" I shouted back.

"Come on, fudge packer," Kirsty was lying flat on her back in the middle of the living room "What's he like in bed?"

Jem ran back into the room and Cas rolled over from her postion on the floor to look at me.

"I can't tell you that!" I said shocked "A lady never reveals her secrets!"

"Unless you've forgotten" Cas smiled "That thing between your legs disqualifies you from that phrase!"

I heaved a huge sigh; "Fine!" I chuckled "He is SO hot! He does things that would make your legs weak!"

"Is he hung?" Jem was loosening up by the pint!

"Like a horse!" We all crack up and once more the joint fell from my lips! "He does this little kissing thing. Just delicate little butterfly kisses, it drives me CRAZY!"

"Any chance I could convert him?!" Kirsty laughed

"Don't even try it, bitch! The boys mine!"

"So you've got over your doubts then?" Jem asked serious.

"How did you know I was having doubts?" I asked back

"You always have doubts." She got that 'im so superiour' look she gets sometime "Look at when you started with Darren. You had doubts then."

"With what i've heard," Cas took a long drag on the joint I passed "with good reason."

"Alright," I said. These were my best friends, if I couldn't talk to them then I couldn't talk to anyone; "I'm having doubts. Just small ones. Irrational ones. I don't even know why, but hopefully this time apart will give us both time to see if this is what we really want."

The Girls looked at me sceptically.

"Enough alright?" I said "Someone break out the 'Black Russians'!!"

Nick sat on the beach at the back of his house in Orlando. He thought back to that first time he had make love to Carl. He remembered the deep intense feelings they had felt. He still loved making love to Carl, but that intenseness wasn't there anymore. They had gone through a lot over the past months. He was worried that love had turned into reliance. Maybe they relied on eachother too much. Nick needed someone to be with, away with from the group. Carl......? Carl just needed someone who would be tender and not try to kill him!

Nick was glad of this concert now. It would give him time to clear his head.

Carl had been the first since AJ. Was he rushing into things? He was even starting to wonder if the engagement was a good idea.

Did he want to tie himself to one person? The phrase; "Sow your wild oats" came into his head.

Maybe that's what he needed to do? _______________________________________________________________________________
