Westlife Romance - Part 3

Kian and Derek emerged from the room minutes later, still enjoying the
lovemaking they had just engaged in.  As they walked down the hall towards
the elevator, the silence was broken by a question that Kian had long
dreaded to hear.

"So, when are you going to tell him?" Derek asked.

"Tell who?  Tell what?" Kian replied, pretending not to understand Derek's
question.

"Nicky...that you're breaking up with him."

Kian paused before replying.  He knew that this question would dog him in
the days ahead unless he resolved the issue.  But on the other hand, how
could he tell Nicky that he'd been sleeping with someone else?  "I just have
to wait till the time is right...I don't want to hurt Nicky more than I
already have to."

As they walked into the elevator, Derek locked Kian into a deep, passionate
kiss.  "We can't go on hiding like this forever, you know," Derek whispered
in between kisses.

"I know, I know..." Kian said as he moaned in ecstasy.  "I'll tell him after
we come back from the photo shoot today."

Derek smiled and continued kissing Kian, stopped only by the fact that they
had arrived at the lobby.  They separated and Kian walked out of the
elevator, heading towards his bandmates who were already waiting for him.

"Come tomorrow, why don't you?" Shane said jokingly.

"Hey, I didn't take THAT long," Kian countered.

The day flew by quickly with the hectic schedule.  Before the guys knew it,
they had already finished their photo shoot.  Since Bryan wasn't there, the
guys did their individual shoots first, promising to return tomorrow to
finish the group shoots.  As they finished up for the day, the guys got into
their car and headed back to the hotel.

"You ok, Kian?  You don't look too good..." Mark observed.

"I dunno...I don't feel so well," Kian replied weakly.

Immediately, a concerned Nicky placed his hands on his lover's forehead.
"You've got a bit of a fever, Kian.  Let's get you back to the hotel and you
can get some sleep.  It shouldn't be too bad."

"This really sucks..." Kian complained.

"Do you want one of us to stay with you?" Shane offered.

"Nah...I'll probably just fall asleep anyways.  You guys go and have
dinner."

"We'll bring something back for you, k?" Nicky said as he looked at Kian
with concerned eyes.

Kian nodded as he was already half asleep.

The remaining boys had a tough time carrying Kian to his room.  But
eventually, they succeeded in their task.  They decided to go to a nearby
Italian restaurant for dinner.  Bryan was back from meeting his friend and
he joined the rest of the guys for dinner.

Everyone was hungry from the photo shoot.  Shane and Mark discussed some of
their musical ideas in between bites of pasta.  Occasionally Nicky offered a
few comments, but his mind was on Kian, hoping to get back to the hotel to
take care of his boyfriend as soon as dinner is over.  Amidst these
thoughts, Nicky glanced over and noticed that Bryan was unusually quiet and
that his food was almost untouched.

"You okay, Bry?" Nicky asked softly, his eyes again full of concern for his
friend.

"I'm fine," Bryan replied.

The answer was not reassuring for Nicky but he decided not to pursue it
further until they get back to the hotel.  He just gave Bryan a smile,
letting him know that they could talk when he felt ready.  Bryan returned
the smile appreciatively, but remained quiet for the rest of dinner.

Despite his tired and weakened condition, Kian found it difficult to get any
sleep.  His mind was heavy with what he was to tell Nicky.  Did he really
love Derek?  Did he love Derek enough to jeopardize his relationship with
Nicky?  And what about Nicky?  How can he justify what he was about to do to
his friend, his lover?  Kian could feel his eyes well up with tears just as
his bedroom door opened quietly.  He quickly dried up his tears and greeted
his visitor.

"That was a quick dinner," Kian said with his trademark smile.

"Sorry for being back so late..." Nicky answered, "hope I didn't starve you
too badly."

"Not at all, but seriously, you didn't have to rush back for me."

"Don't be silly, Kian," Nicky continued, "you're not feeling well.  I'm not
going to leave you here alone."  Nicky walked over to Kian's bed and sat
down beside him.  He felt his boyfriend's forehead with his hands again.
"Looks like the fever subsided a bit," Nicky observed with relief.  Just
then, there was a knock on the door.  Nicky got up off the bed and walked to
open the door.  He reemerged a few moments later, pushing a cart of food
into the room.

Kian stared at Nicky in surprise.  Nicky smiled back and wheeled the cart
beside the bed.  Kian sat up in bed and looked at the cart.  It had a bit of
all his favourite foods, from Japanese to Italian to Chinese to American.
"Where...where did you get all this??"

Nicky blushed a bit.  "I wasn't sure what you wanted to eat, so I thought
this would be the safest thing to do..."

"You must have gone to a million places for all these things," Kian
continued incredulously.

For a few brief moments, all troubles left Kian as he marvelled at the
things that Nicky did for him.  But these happy thoughts were soon replaced
by the impending bad news that Kian had to deliver to Nicky.  Trying to
postpone the inevitable as long as possible, Kian let the night drag on.

Soon, Nicky got up from the bed.  "I better go back to my room now...it's
getting late.  You get some rest, baby, and we'll chat tomorrow, k?"  With
that, Nicky gave Kian a kiss on his forehead and walked towards the door.

"Wait Nicky!!"

Nicky turned around to look at Kian.  "What is it?"

"There's something that I have to tell you...I don't think it can wait till
tomorrow..."

...to be continued....
