If you couldn't accept themes of homosexuality and the like, please don't read on. This is a story concerning gay males having intimate relationships and is considered FOR ADULTS ONLY due to its sexual theme and contents. BUT if you really like this stuff, please don't tell others. This disclaimer is for your protection and mine as well. Everything in this story is purely FICTIONAL. Or in simpler terms, it's not true!!! Even if this story involves the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC and other famous celebrities all that happen in here is fictional... again, it's not true. If there are instances that it scenes are similar to what happened in the real world, it doesn't mean that it's what really happened. The events are mere fabrication of my overimaginative mind. I don't know anything about their sexuality, as far as I and the world know, they're straight as an arrow so I dunno if they are gay (but I do have my speculations) or not but I wrote this out of freedom of speech and my love for these guys and slash fiction. I don't own or know the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC or other cited celebrity in the story personally. AGAIN, it's NOT TRUE!!! But don't we all hope that it's true... hehehehe... eMAIL --> yr_ry_@hotmail.com ------------ Chapter 32 ------------ Brian and I stepped out of the room with our fingers still intertwined. How I wish that we could do this in a daily basis. But he's career makes it impossible but I still hope that someday, my dream will be a reality. We spotted Alex just standing out of Lance's room. He looked so lost like he didn't know what to do. "Why don't you go in?" I queried as we walk to the same door. "Um..." Alex answered. "I'm a little bit shy coz I don't know them really." He then blushed. It was so out of character of Alex. He's my extrovert brother and he's being shy about this. I just rolled my eyes. "Geez, you act like you're a toddler." I said and ruffled his hair that he hates so much. He just glared at me. Where's the shyness now? I knocked at the door. After a few seconds, the door opened and out came Lance's head. "Hey!" He greeted us with a smile and he opened the door wider. JC was fighting off his drowsiness with his head laid on the lap of Nick who looked like he just woke up. Nick would be asleep in a minute or two by the looks of it. Justin was eating his cereal silently. "Come in." Lance told us. "Hi guys!" I said cheerfully but they just responded with a groan. "You're too cheerful. It's still so early." JC commented as buried his head on Nick's lap. "Anyway, I want you to meet my little brother Alex. Alex, you know JC and Justin already. The big lug eating lots of food is Joey and the guy on the phone is Chris. The blonde who opened the door is Lance." I introduced them to each other. They all said a short 'hello' but it lacked enthusiasm. Maybe it's really too early. "Why won't you three get some food there and start eating. I'm sure that Joey is just gonna hog it all if you eat later on." Lance said with a chuckle. Joey just gave him the finger but he continued eating. We took our plates and started to pile up. As usual, Brian was there to assist me on how much I should eat and nothing has changed, it's a big pile of food. "Are you sure you can fit that all in your body?" Joey asked when he saw my plate. "Ask him." I pointed at Brian who just smiled. "Yeah he can finish that. It's less compared when we were on tour. I thought that he needed to get used to it first again." He explained with a serious tone. I sighed and started to eat. "What's the agenda, scoop?" Justin asked. It seemed that he has life now. JC dozed off already and Nick was trying hard not to sleep off himself. "It's still an off day for us officially but we are confined to the hotel for the day. Martin is gonna meet the execs later for some the signing of contracts and stuff; the usual." He said as he looked at me and I answered with a nod. "I think that's it for the day." "Cool, I think we three are just gonna sleep for the day." Justin answered with a smile. We only had knowing looks. Sleep? Yeah, right. "What time will I meet the execs?" I asked. "I really don't know. They said that they'll just ring us when they arrive later on." Lance replied. I averted my attention once more to the food on my plate. I've eaten 3/4 of it and I was just resting for a while before eating once again. "Oh yeah, I totally forgot about this." I told them as I placed my powerbook on top of the table. "I've been working on some tracks a while ago so I wanna ask y'all what you think about it." I told them as I opened the 'Pop' mix that I made. "That's the shit." Justin noted as he bopped his head with it. The other said their compliments as well and that made me smile. Even Brian was smiling but I could see that he's not just happy with what I made but it seemed that he was just proud of it. "What's that?" JC asked as he rubbed his eyes. I guessed that the music woke him up. "That's good." He said with a sleepy smile and laid his back once again on Nick's lap. "You really exhausted those two." I joked. "Nah, they're really like that. I think they like sleeping than me." He laughed. All of us -- minus Nick and JC who finally fell into a slumber -- engaged in small talks and just having a good time reacquainting to each other. Even Alex was opening up already. I think he's passed the fan mode and he was already seeing them as normal human beings. Lance's phone began to ring. "Bass." He answered monotonously. I didn't really care that much with what he was talking about because Justin was sharing with me some of their adventures while on tour. "Guys, those are the execs. They're gonna be here in 30 minutes." Lance told us. I just nodded. "I'll just take a bath and I'll be back. I still think that I need to look a little bit presentable before I meet them." I told them. "I'll come with you." Brian said. "Nope! I'm gonna late if you come with me." I replied and he just pouted. "That won't work, mister." "Fine." Brian grumbled. I smiled and walked to Brian's room. My clothes were there so it made sense if I would just bathe there. I didn't waste time as I hurriedly took a bath and did all my morning ritual in the bathroom. I wanted to be earlier than the executives. Giving a good impression is always a plus. When I was finished will my routine, I walked back to Lance's room. Nothing seemed to change. They were still talking and laughing a little bit while Nick and JC were sleeping. "Did I miss anything?" I asked as I settled beside Brian. "Not really." Alex answered with a grin. I knew what that meant. "What embarrassing story did you share?" I groaned and they all burst into fits of laughter. "Nothing." He replied. "Just our little trip to Big Bear Lake." He grinned and the others just couldn't stop laughing. "I swear, I saw a shark!" I tried to defend myself. The story went this way. My family went to Big Bear Lake for a little break and while I was swimming, I saw a shark going my way and I shouted that there was a shark in the lake that caused a little panic among the other people in the lake. "Um, there are no sharks in lakes." Lance answered and then laughed. "I didn't know that." I told him with a sheepish smile. "Quit talking about me." I said trying to deflect the attention towards me. "But I like hearing stuff about you." Brian said as he enveloped me in a tight embrace. I swear, Brian acts like a kid sometimes. But I have to admit, it's damn sweet. "I'll just tell you when we are alone." I replied with a wink that brought a smile on his face and the two of us kissed. "Other people in the room." Alex noted. When I looked at the others, they were just looking at us with amusement. It just made me blush. "Aaw, you made lil Marty blush." "Hey, it ain't little." Brian answered that made me and Alex blush while the others just laughed at us. Lance's phone began to ring. "Bass." He answered. He just nodded and then ended the call. "They'll be here in a few minutes." Lance said. Brian and I straightened up while Justin tried to wake up Nick and JC. I guessed that the execs didn't really know about the relationship of JC, Justin and Nick. Brian and I needed to break apart because we were new people in the tour but JC and Justin have been there for a long time. "You can just put those two in my room." Lance pointed to his room. Justin and Joey struggled pulling Nick and JC to Lance's room. I couldn't believe that this two could sleep like this. "Do they really sleep this heavy?" I inquired. "Yeah." Chris answered. "I guess that's where they get all their energy for the day." "How about you Chris? Where do you get hyperness?" Lance asked innocently but I knew that he was trying to joke around. "Sad to say, it's inborn." Joey answered for Chris when he entered the lounge room that offered a slap at the back of Joey's head from Chris. And that started the wrestling of the two which Justin later joined. These are the people I was going to work with. Just like children. A knock from the door interrupted their 'activity'. Lance walked to the door to open it. Two men and a woman entered the room. They were sporting their blank and cold faces with their suits on. Typical executives. "Good day to you." Lance greeted. "I like you to introduce to Martin Sanders. He's the one who is going to work for us as the music director for the rest of the tour." Lance said in a professional tone. The three looked at me and it was like I was being scrutinized. I knew I looked presentable at that moment so they couldn't disparage me in that sense. Maybe my young age? Well, Wade was working for them and he's just 18 so that's out of the question as well. "Good morning sirs and ma'am." I said extending my hand to them. They shook my hand but it was a little bit awkward for me. It was like they were very careful around me. "So, how do we do this?" I asked trying to start it up. I thought that if I wouldn't speak up, nothing would happen on that day. "Can we talk to you for a while before we go on the signing of contracts?" The woman asked. "I don't think that's necessary. We know Martin." Justin chimed as he closed the door of Lance's bedroom and walking to our direction. "It's okay. I have nothing to hide." I answered trying to be in my best behavior. I glanced at Brian who seemed to be amused. "Where will we do it?" I asked. "Can we use the bedroom of Mr. Bass for privacy?" The near-balding guy asked. "NO!" Everyone in the room exclaimed that took the executives by surprise. I guessed that they still have emotions because of their shocked expressions. "I mean, JC is sleeping there because of yesterday." Lance tried to save face for everyone. That just proved my theory, no one knows outside the Backstreet and NSYNC group of Nick, JC and Justin's ménage a trois. Well, threesomes are still taboo so who can blame them. The execs just answered with a hesitant nod. "How about we all just transfer to Joey's room while you four can talk in here?" Lance suggested. "That's a good idea, Mr. Bass." The woman replied. And I nodded as well. They all filed out of the room leaving just the four of us. "I think it would be better if we would all sit down to start this." The woman said and sat down on the big couch along with the two other men. I sat a little bit farther from them. They opened their bags and produced pens and papers. I guessed that this was going to be a long one. "Let's start with your personal background..." The thin guy in glasses started. I just sighed inwardly and smiled at them trying to make the most of the situation. It was a very boring process. They asked a question and I would answer them. So, this was the feeling of being interviewed by those magazines that features NSYNC and the like. After a grueling hour, it was finally over. "If you can just sign here, everything will be in order." The woman said as she produced the contract. I took it from her and read it quickly. It seemed okay and it was just similar to the contract of Backstreet. I signed it and handed the papers to the woman. "Thank you." I said. "Welcome on board." The near-balding guy said. I shook their hands and we walked to the door. When we opened the door, we saw all of the guys sitting the floor waiting. "I thought that you'll be waiting in Joey's room?" I inquired. "We were but we got bored so we waited here." Justin answered. It didn't convince me. The execs walked passed them to the elevator in silence. I just don't get these types of people. They seem so cold like they don't have feelings. Is it a requirement of the job? Once the elevator doors closed, Justin entered Lance's room. Maybe he's gonna check on his guys. It was sweet. Well, Justin was surely a charming sweet boy. He reminds me of Brian sometimes. Sweet and charming. I looked at him and he was laughing while talking with Alex. It made me smile. The others walked back to Lance's room and they went to their places earlier -- minus Justin who didn't come out of bedroom. "Justin, I'll kick your ass if I see a stain there!" Lance hollered from his seat as he brought out his cell phone and dialed a bunch of numbers. I sat beside Brian and laid my head on his chest as I listened to their small talks. Last thing I knew, my eyes closed and I drifted off to sleep. ----------------------- End of Chapter This is Reformation 32. Sorry for the lateness of this chapter.
