***I'm SO sorry my story is taking so long.  This semester at college is a
killer, and I don't have that much time.  Thank you all for putting up with
my lazy-ass ways.  I promise I'll try to get on the ball with this.  ~ !\!


Part XXII
---------

     Kevin and I walked into Nick's room to see him crying.  He motions for
us to sit down on the bed, and we do.  He stands in front of us.  "I
just...I want to apologize to you two.  I acted like such an ass when it
came to Sandra.  I should have listened to you, Kev.  I'm really sorry."  He
had to stop this statement a few times to sniffle or sob.
     Kevin stands up and hugs Nick.  Nick clings to him.  "It's alright,
Nickolas, we understand.  Dumb love, it strikes us all."  Nick chuckles a
little and lets Kevin go.
     I grab him and pat him on the back.  "Yeah, we forgive you.  Just
forget about it."
     Nick whispers in my ear, "I have to talk to you alone."  I nod.
     "Kev, could you give Nick and me a moment alone?  I just remembered I
owe him one major ass-kicking."  Kevin and Nick both laugh.
     "Sure.  I'll see y'all in a bit."  He leaves the room, leaving Nick and
I looking at each other.  I plop down on his bed.
     "What's on yer mind, Nick?"
     "Sandra."
     I sit up.  "Oh..."  I am not altogether surprised.
     "I just can't believe it, you know?  I thought we were great together.
I thought I'd finally found someone that I could get into a serious
relationship with.  It's like...she just understood me and knew me.  And now
she's just some writer, looking for the big story."  New tears formed in his
eyes.  I patted the bed beside me, and he sat.  I put an arm around him and
hugged him a little.  "It just really sucks, Chris.  I mean, she was my
first...."  He trailed off.
     "Sandra was your first girlfriend?!?"  This time, I'm surprised.
     "-No-.  She was my _fiiirrssst_...."  He accents using hand gestures.
     Then I get it.  "Oooohh!  Oh, geez, sorry.  I just didn't get it.  Wow,
man, I don't know what to say."
     "Well, I don't guess there's anything you _can_ say.  It's like
she....robbed me of it, you know?  I was saving myself for someone like I
thought she was.  And that's pretty hard when thousands of people across the
world are throwing themselves at you."  That last sentence was meant to make
himself laugh, I could tell.  I laugh along with him.
     "I wish I could change that, but I can't.  But I'll tell you something.
  I think that maybe she isn't as cold as she sounded on that recording.
Maybe she regrets it.  Maybe this will change her.  I don't know, but if you
still like her, you can hope."  Deja vu.
     "Nah, I couldn't.  Even if she did say she changed, I couldn't go back
out with her.  I can't forgive her for this."  He shakes his head.
"Absolutely no way...."
     "Oh, Thank You for saying that!  You have no idea how much it killed me
to say that.  I hate the bitch!"  Nick doubled over in laughter.  "Argh!
First the thing with my being gay, then she has to do this, hurting my best
friends."  I was over-acting, ranting and raving, just to make him laugh
more.  And it was working.  So I switch to Valley Girl talk.  "It's, like,
she is, like, -such- a bitch.  And that hair!  Yuck-o-rama.  Could it get
any more frizzy?"  I had him almost falling to the floor laughing.  "It's,
like, giirrrll, you just need to be steppin' on outta here."  I got the
whole head-movin', hand-wavin' "thang" down.
     Nick grabbed his stomach.  "Stop.....please....no more..." he managed
to say between bursts of laughter.
     I waited until he had regained his breath, then I pat his back.
"Feeling better?"
     He looks into my face and smiles.  "Yeah....thanks, Chris."  Then he
surprises me by hugging me.
     "No problem, man.  Now, why don't we go join the others?"
     He jumps up and nods.  "Yeah."  He reaches out his hand to help me
stand.  We head back out to see everyone in the living room, each of them
just staring off into nothingness.  Brian looks at me when we enter.  I give
him a smile and nod to let him know that everything is alright.  Then I go
over to sit on his lap.
     He wraps his arms around me.  "Mmmmm...this is nice."  I lean forward
to nuzzle into his neck.  I kiss his neck and run my hand up under his
shirt.  Brian moans.
     Howie laughs, "Would you two like some privacy?"
     "You'd leave for us?" I ask.
     AJ says, "No, I wanna stay and watch."  He lifts his eyebrows a couple
of times.  Everyone laughs.
     I raise at eyebrow at him and ask, "Why, you wanna know how to do it
_right_ next time your in bed with me?"
     Nick "oooooh"s.  Howie howls with laughter.  AJ blushes, and Kevin
blushes too.  I guess he must feel embarassed about this conversation.
Kevin says, "Whatever, guys.  We have 3 hours until we leave for the show."
I get up off of Brian and head to the mini fridge.
     Nick says, "3 hours?  Wow Bri, you and Chris could do it, like, 10
times."  Everyone chuckles.
     Brian replies, "Please, Chris could do it 10 times in 3 _minutes_."
Everyone freezes, and I can feel them look at me.  I have my back to them,
but I slowly turn.
     I can see them all on the verge of laughter, and Brian has a twinkle in
his eye.  I close my eyes to slits, shake my head a little, and say, "You
are _so_ dead."  Everyone cracks up.  Brian jumps up off of the couch and
runs to my room.  I take off after him.  He attempts to shut the door on me,
but I slam my body into it.  I almost fall into my room, but I regain
balance.  Brian, however, isn't so lucky.  My momentum sent the door flying
into him, knocking him backwards onto the floor.  He starts to get up, but I
plant my foot on his chest.  "Stay!" I command.  He laughs.  I take a couple
steps back to shut and lock the door.  I go back and stradle across him,
with each knee beside his pelvis.  I put my left hand to the side of his
head and support myself.  I poke him in the chest and say, "You know you're
in trouble for that little comment out there."
     "Oh goody."  He smiles.  I return the smile and kiss him.  I lick at
his lips, which he parts to let my tongue enter his mouth.  I run my tongue
along his.  His hands join at the small of my back.  I move my legs back to
settle all of my weight onto him.  I'm getting aroused, and judging by a
certain feeling up against my leg, he is too.  I rub his crotch through his
jeans.  He moans into my mouth.  I suck his bottom lip into my mouth.  His
hot breath escapes onto my face.  I sit up and unbutton my shirt, teasing
him a time or two.  He smiles and runs his hands up my stomach and chest.
"You're so beautiful, Chris.  I love you so much."
     I feel the smile spread across my face.  I lean back down over him.
"Brian, I love you too.  Very much so."  I kiss him sweetly, passionately.
I pull his shirt up to his chest.  He leans up a little so I can get it off
of him.  Then I lay back down on him.  The feel of his smooth skin against
my chest is so hot and soothing.  I plant little kisses on is chin, around
his jaw, and down his neck.  He tilts his head back.  I swirl my tongue over
his adams apple and into that little crevass between his collar bones.  His
hands come to the back of my neck, and he massages.  I get up and take off
my pants and underwear, then remove his as well.  His cock springs up and
hits his stomach.
     "Make love to me, Christopher.  Do it now."  I hear the urgency in his
voice.  My reply is to grab his legs and open them up so I can kneel between
them.  He lifts them into the air, and I position myself.  I push forward.
Without any type of lubrication, not even saliva, it's quite a battle.  The
head pops in, the Brian gasps in air.
     "Am I hurting you?  I mean"
     "No, just go."  Once I'm halfway in, I lean back over him and kiss his
chest.  "Shit, Chris, it feels so good.  You're so hot."  I thrust deep into
him quickly.  He cries out loud.  I cover his mouth with mine.  He grabs my
head and holds it to his as I move in and out of him.  I can feel him clench
around my cock.  His tongue forces its way into my mouth.  He wraps his legs
around me and helps me pump into his ass.  I can feel the sweat building up
on my back and between our bodies.  He groans loudly into my mouth.  His
legs tighten around mine, and I feel his hot cum hit my stomach.  This sets
me off as well, and I cum inside him.  Load after load comes from me.  I
collapse on top of Brian, moving my head to the side of his.  His juices are
still hot between us.  Neither of us make an attempt to move.  We just lay
there, breathing heavily.
     Once I've gained the strength to move again, I pick my head up and kiss
his shoulder.  I continue my journey downwards, stopping to suck his nipple
and lick at his navel.  I surprise him when I take his member into my mouth.
  His back arches, and he raises his knees.  "Shit no, Chris.  It's too
sensitive."  Instead of licking the head with the rought top of my tongue, I
just hold him in my mouth, against the soft underside of my tongue.  I keep
him in my mouth until he had gotten a full erection again.  I start to bob
on him, slowly.  I see his face scrunch up.  I go to pull off of him, but
his hands grab my head.  "Don't fucking stop now" he says with a grin.  I
smile as best I can with his cock in my mouth, then I continue the blowjob.
I can taste and smell the cum from just a moment ago, and it is driving me
wild.  Brian runs his fingers through my hair and down my cheeks.  He starts
bucking his hips, he moans a little moan, and a trickle of his juices enters
my mouth.  He come up off of him and kiss my way up his torso and neck to
his mouth.  I lay halfway on top of him, with my knee between his legs.  Our
tongues duel for a few minutes, then I suggest, "Let's take a nap before we
have to go."
     "Alright."  He leans up to give me a kiss.  I stand up and help him up.
  I get in the bed.  Brian pulls down the covers most of the way and climbs
in sideways, laying his head on my stomach.  I pull the covers up so that
they cover all but his head and from my stomach up.  It must have been a
sight.  Brian reaches up and strokes my face.  "Chris, you are a wonderful
man.  Wonderful, wonderful man."
     I smile and take his hand.  I kiss the back of it, then free it.
"Good.  That means that I'm worthy to be with the most caring, beautiful
person on the planet."  We both smile.  "I love you."
     "Love you too."  He closes his eyes.  I stare at him for a moment.
We're so happy together.  For some reason, thoughts of Kevin enter my mind.
He has been watching us lately.  I think he's lonely; he's probably looking
for something like Brian and I have.
     I feel a tapping on my chest.  I look back down at Brian to see him
looking up at me.  "What are you thinking about?"
     "Kevin."  Brian gets a confused look.  "Have you noticed him watching
us lately?"  Brian shakes his head no.  It feels odd up against my stomach.
"He's a great guy, Brian.  I think he needs a girlfriend.  He's too lonely,
watching after everyone and doing stuff all the time."
     "I think you're right, but I also think it's none of your business,
Chris."  The corners of my mouth turn up.  "Kevin's a big boy.  He will get
a girlfriend if he wants one.  Remember, he told us he didn't want any of us
to fix him up."
     "I know, I know."
     "Good.  Then let's sleep."
     "Okay."  Brian picks his head up to kiss my stomach, then lays back
down.  I close my eyes and enjoy the feeling of Brian next to (well, sort of
next to) me.

     Invasion, heat, passion.  These feelings wake me up.  I'm pretty sure
it has something to do with the boyfriend who has his tongue in my mouth.
"Mmmmmm"  I moan and start to laugh.  Brian sits up again.  "Aaaww...you're
already dressed."
     He smiles and runs his hands over his - MY - shirt.  "Yep, all dressed
and ready to go."
     "Isn't that m"
     "Sssoooo...why don't you get up and ready?  Nick pounded on the door
and woke me, but you didn't budge.  I let you sleep a few minutes while I
decided on somthing to wear."  A sly grin crosses his face.  I match it, and
climb out of bed.  He slaps my naked ass as I walk by.
     "You bitch."  I grab some boxers and socks out of my suitcase.  I open
the other one and find a shirt and pants to wear.  As I pull the pants up, I
say, "You know, Brian, as much as you must like it, it's a bit creepy that
you watch me dress."
     "Why?  I've seen you dressed before, and I've seen you naked before.
Of course, I like one more than the other...."
     "Yeah, yeah."  I go to the bathroom to fix my hair.
     As I go back into the bedroom, I can hear Nick outside the door.
"OPEN, OPEN, OPEN, OPEN!!!"  Brian walks to the door and opens it.  He is
almost slammed into the wall as Nick rushes through it, wearing only his
boxers.  "CLOSE THE DOOR!!!" Nick commands.  Brian doesn't have time to
react before AJ, wearing only a towel, runs through.
     "You little shit!  Tell me where the camera is!"  AJ is on one side of
the bed, closest to the door, and Nick is on the other.  Nick starts to
laugh.
     "Whoa!  You guys mind telling us what is going on here?"  Brian asks.
     "Nickolas here thought it'd be funny to snap a picture of me while I
was in the shower.  Now the little bugger's going to tell me where the
camera is or die!"
     "Little?  Who are _you_ calling little?"  Nick stands straight up and
on his tip-toes.  "I could get on my knees and be taller than you!"
     I say, "Hhhmmm....if there's a nudie pic of AJ involved, I'm on Nick's
side."  I grin at Nick, who smiles.  AJ laughs.  Brian tries a mock hurt
look, but the smile breaks through.  I sit in a chair to get my shoes on.
AJ and Nick continue their chase around the edges of the bed.  Seizing an
opportunity, I get up and say, "But why should I settle for just a picture?"
  With that, I grab AJ's towel from behind and yank it as hard as I can.  It
comes free.  Brian and I get a short look at AJ's butt before he hops in
under the covers.  Nick, Brian, and I all laugh hard.  AJ blushes, but
begins to chuckle a minute later.
     Brian says, "My, my, AJ, once again trying to get Chris.  This time
you've gone all-out though.  Climbing into his bed naked."
     I say, "And just a minute ago Nick offered to get on his knees."  I
briskly rub my hands together and continue, "Wow, Brian, I think we might
have a good time tonight!"  Nick's turn to blush.
     "What is all the screaming and running around going on in here?" Kevin
asks as he comes to the doorway.  Just behind him, Howie approaches.
     Howie asks, "Chris, Brian, are you two being good?"
     Brian replies smartly, "Hey, look.  Chris and I are dressed and ready
to go.  Nick's only wearing boxers, and AJ is naked.  And you think that
_we_ are misbehaving?"  Brian puts his arm around me on the "we".
     Kevin and Howie look at us, then at Nick, then at AJ.  Kevin shakes his
head and says, "I'm not even going to ask.  I'm sure I don't want to know.
AJ, Nick, put some clothes on or we'll be late."  He and Howie leave.  Then
Brian steps out, followed by Nick.
     As I turn to leave, AJ says, "Um, Chris?"
     I turn back to him.  "Yeah?"
     "Could I have my towel back?"

     The next couple of weeks actually flew by.  The worst part was all the
bus travelling, but I got used to it pretty well.  It just so turns out that
the last show before a week break was in New York.  When I told my parents
of this, they insisted that we all stay at the house.  They guys had no
problem whatsoever with this.  AJ, Kevin, Howie, and Brian just didn't want
to stay at any more hotels; Nick, however, just wanted to play in the Maze
some more.  I promised him that I would be victorious next time.

     "Honey, it's so good to see you again!!!"  My mother crushes me to
death in one heck of a bear hug.  She releases me to grab Brian.  "And you
too, Brian!"
     He pats her back.  "It's great to see you too, Mrs. Paige."
     She lets go of him.  "Oh, pish."  She grabs his right hand and brings
it up to his face so he can see the ring on it.  "Call me Mom now."  Brian
blushes and looks down at his feet.  My mother is busy greeting the other
guys, so I grab his hand.
     I drag him upstairs to my room, leaving all our bags behind.  "I love
being home!"  I practically shout as I open the door to my room.  We both
stop immediatelly in our tracks.  On one wall is this large picture in a
frame.  It's me and Brian as youngsters, but also as a kind of weird
double-image, is me and Brian now.  The 'now' pictures of me and Brian
weren't taken together, but it still looked pretty darn good.  It's like the
'now' us is standing behind the boys, like ghosts.  The whole thing had a
yellowish-bronze tint to it.  "Oh my God, it's"
     "so beautiful."  Brian finishes for me.  He releases my hand and walks
to the picture.  I come up behind him and put my arms around him.  I kiss
his neck and whisper in his ear, "You think one day there will be a couple
of old geezers in that picture?"
     He chuckles and turns around in my arms.  "I hope so."  He places his
hands on my shoulders and draws me towards him.  My lips meet his.  We hold
this little, yet oh so very passionate, kiss for a minute.  His hands run up
to the back of my head.  I move mine to his sides.  His tongue presses at my
lips and teeth, and I accept it into my mouth.  Brian's tongue moves along
mine, tasting every part of my mouth.
     Once we part, a voice scares us back into reality: "Wow, after a kiss
like that, I'm ready for a cigarette."  I jump a little, and Brian just
jerks his head in the direction of the voice.
     "Aunt Alice!"  I go to her and hug her.
     She lets go of me.  "Brian Thomas Littrell, it has been too long."  She
takes a few steps towards him with her arms outstretched.
     "Yeah, it has."  He hugs her too.  "How have you been in the past...oh,
eight or nine years?"  We all laugh, and she releases him.
     "I've been doing pretty well.  Not as well as a mister bigshot
somebody...."  He blushes and looks down to his feet again.
     "You and mom have got to stop doing that to him" I scolded her.  I move
in between them and put one arm over Brian's shoulder and one over Alice's.
"Let's go eat, I'm starving."

     Dinner conversation was really light.  We just talked about nothing and
laughed about even more nothing.  Howie brought up those pictures that Dad
had given me.
     Dad says, "Oh, we've had those stashed away for years.  When we found
out Brian was here, that was the first thing I did, search for those
pictures.  I was hoping that you two could put whatever bad blood you had
behind you."  I smiled at Brian and put my hand on his thigh under the
table.
     Kevin got a look on his face.  "What did happen to you two anyway?"
     Brian and I look at each other, the question in both of our eyes.  Then
he turned to everyone else and said, "I ran."  He looked down at his plate.
Kevin motions with his hands for Brian to continue.  "I guess Chris and I
had been seeing each other for....geez, 6 months or so, and....uh...."
     I could see he was having trouble with the proper direction, so I
stepped in.  "Our 'relationship' was basically based on sex."  Brian was
shocked at my being so blunt.  "But I felt more than that.  Brian was
becoming more than just my best friend.  I loved him.  So one day, I told
him, 'Brian, I think I love you.'  He turned and ran."
     Brian took over again.  "I wanted to hear those words so badly, and I
couldn't believe that he actually said them.  But when he did, everything
just hit me at once.  I mean, after hearing so many people saying it was
wrong, and then I knew I'd feel like an outcast at school, even if nobody
else knew.  And I didn't even want to think about what my parents would do
if they found out."
     My mother gasped, barely audibly.  However, it did catch my, Brian's,
AJ's, and dad's attention.  "Mom, what's wrong?"  She and my father
exchanged a glance.  By now, everyone was looking at mom.
     "Well....Chris, Brian, I'm so sorry.  When you all agreed to stay here,
I called Jackie up.  We hadn't talked in so long, and I thought she and
Harold might want to come up as well."  She paused to take a long breath.
"And once we were caught up, I started talking about the two of you."  Then
Brian gasped, and tears almost immediately came to his eyes.  I knew then
what was happening:  His parents hadn't known.  Mom continued, "Brian, I
don't know if I can apologize enough.  But I thought that she knew, and
I...."
     Seeing Brian hurting like this made me so mad.  I stood up from my
chair.  "You had NO right to do that!"  My outburst scared everyone.  "What
were you thinking?!?"
     Mom says, "Chris, she was fine with it!  She was a little shocked, but
after we talked for a couple minutes, she said she was willing to accept it
and even back you two up."
     Brian asks, "She did?"  I couldn't see his face because it was turned
to mom, but I knew that made him so happy.
     "Yeah.  She loves you, Brian, and she wants you two to visit as soon as
possible."
     Even though this was having a happy ending, I was still fuming.
"That's not the point!  You didn't even fucking ask us!"
     My father was on his feet in an instant.  "Christopher Michael Paige,
you watch your language."
     I didn't want any more confrontation, so I just stormed up to my room.
I closed the door behind me and sat on the edge of my bed, burying my face
in my hands.  I laugh.  'Yeah, I don't want any more confrontation, but I
caused all of it.'  I look up to the picture of Brian and me.  Realizing
that I haven't yet been out to my balcony, I do just that.  Opening the
doors, the familiar scene is drawn out before me.  I take a deep breath.  I
know, it's not any different than the air out in the driveway, but it still
feels differently.  I go over and lean over the banister.  'Love it out
here.'  Feeling a bit daring, I get up and stand on the banister.  I look
straight up and stretch my arms out.
     I feel some fingers hook into my belt loops.  "You know, It'd be much
more fun if your hands were in my back pockets."
     "Sorry, that's my cousin's territory."  Kevin and I laugh.  "What did I
tell you about being careful up here?"
     "Uuumm.....you told me to be careful."
     "Right.  And I don't think that standing on the edge of the banister
qualifies as 'careful'.  So get your little butt down before I have to pull
you down myself."
     I laugh and step down.  "My 'little butt.'  So you _were_ looking?"  We
chuckle again.  Then he goes over to lean up backwards against the banister.
     "Do you mind telling me what that was about in there?" Kevin asks.
     I take a deep breath and sigh.  "She shouldn't have just assumed that
Jackie and Harold knew.  I don't know, I just exploded."
     He nodded his head.  "Brian's talking to his parents now.  Your mom is
really upset; I think you should go talk to her and apologize."
     "Yeah, I agree.  Where's everyone at?"
     "Nick, Howie, and AJ went to take naps.  Brian's just inside, in your
room actually.  And your parents are in their bedroom."
     I turn and go back into my room, just in time to hear Brian say, "Yes,
mom, I love him beyond anything else."
     "Aaawww" I say.  He turns around and smiles adn gives me the thumbs-up.
  "I love you too, Brian."  I wink at him.  "I'll be back.  Gotta straighten
things out with my folks."
     He mouths "okay".  I leave and go to my parents' bedroom.  I knock on
the door before opening it.  They are both sitting on the bed.  "Mom, Dad,
I'm really sorry about my little outburst out there.  I just exploded
because...well...you weren't careful.  I mean, you can imagine what it would
be like if the world knew."
     My dad says, "Yes, Chris, we understand."
     Mom says, "Chris, I am so sorry too.  You're right: I should have asked
you two first.  If Jackie hadn't been so accepting of it, I would just hate
myself right now."  My parents and I talked a few more minutes.
     I left their room and returned to mine.  I saw Brian out on the
balcony, looking over the edge.  When he heard me, he turned around quickly.
  "Chris!  Kevin fell off the balcony!"


To Be Continued....
