Also if you aren't old enough you shouldn't be here reading this warning... I just want to take a minute to thank everyone for their letters and support I am really enjoying this project because of all the support I am getting again a big thank you and now on to the story. I lay quietly for a little while and answered when the phone rang for our wake up call. I didn't want us to be late for our breakfast meeting because we were leaving that morning for the next stop on our tour. I kissed Nicky slowly on the forehead and brushed the hair out of his eyes. I whispered into his ear. "Wake up Nick it's morning" He opened his eyes slowly and smiled " I hope you wake me up like that every morning forever" Then he kissed me good morning with more love than I ever felt .We just stayed like that for a little while longer savoring the feelings of being close to each other. We took our usual turns getting showered and ready and we walked into the meeting room just as everyone was sitting down to eat. " Wow Nick Ethan is a good influence on you. You guys are right on time." Brian said with a smile. " Yea he is up before the wake up call every morning. " Nick said and turned towards me and smiled sweetly. We talked while we ate and joked around about how we were going to have to upstage Nsync. We were mostly kidding but I sensed a little apprehension about touring with what was essentially competition. We all finished eating and sat down and discussed the next days itinerary for our next concert. Then we all went back to our rooms to get packed and ready I had never totally unpacked so I helped Nick get everything ready. When we were all ready to go I came up behind Nicky and hugged him tightly and gave him a kiss on the cheek. " I love you Nick" I whispered. " I love you too Ethan. " Nick said. Then he turned around and kissed me so sweetly and said " I want to stay like this forever." " I do too" I said. We both jumped when the door flew open and Brian told us to get downstairs it was time to go. We walked to the waiting elevator and went down to the waiting busses. Normally I would be on the bus with the technical crew I was in charge of but the guys wanted me to travel with them. Nicky had already volunteered to share his bunk. So we were off to our next stop on the tour. We checked in to our hotel and I went to supervise the setups at the arena while the guys rested up a bit before rehearsals. I was done in no time the guys on the crew were amazed at my sense of order and how the small changes I made streamlined everything so dramatically. I decided to go back to the hotel and spend a bit of time with Nick before he had to leave. I got to our room and walked in and there he was crashed out on the couch looking so cute sleeping. I went over and kissed him lightly on the cheek to wake him up. He opened his eyes and smiled at me and put his arms around me and kissed me deeply. he broke the kiss and whispered in my ear "Hi Hon!!" "Hi babe how are you?" I said. " Better now that your here." He said and gave me a look that could melt butter. "You want to get some lunch before you go to rehearse?" I asked. Yea lets get a pizza." Nick said. So we ordered a pizza and we got out the playstation while we were waiting. We polished it off in record time and right after that Brian called Nick to be ready as it was time to go. Nicky gave me a long sweet kiss and a hug before he left and told me that they would be back in 3 or 4 hrs. That meant I had the afternoon free while the guys were at the arena rehearsing so I decided to go out and buy Nicky a little present. I really had no idea what to get him but I went into my third shop on rodeo drive and it hit me the second I laid eyes on it. I knew that was what I wanted to get so I asked the clerk if they could engrave it right away they said sure so I wrote down what I wanted it to say and handed them the note. The clerk said aw how sweet the girl that gets this is very lucky. I had written " You have my heart forever! All my love Ethan" I had picked a silver and gold bracelet with the letter N engraved on it. It took about 20 minutes and I walked out with the brightly wrapped package. I decided to take the package back to the hotel and then hit the gym and sauna a bit. I was getting a bit flabby from hanging around the guys they sure did eat a lot. After my workout I went to our room and got ready to leave as the limo would be there to take me back to the concert very shortly. I went to the dressing rooms when I got there we went over everything and the guys went to get ready for the show. Nick kissed me and told me he had a suprise for me and that he loved me. After he left I gave the crew their orders and went to make sure everything was in order before I went to me seat. The arena was already mostly full of screaming teen girls. I just gave myself a secret smile and knew that the heart of the cutest sweetest BSB belonged to me. The concert went off without a hitch all the new technical ideas I had instituted enhanced an already terrific show. I was wondering what my suprise was when the lights went down and Brian announced a song going out to a special someone in the audience. Then the music came up and the words that filled the arena started and the guys went into I need you Tonight. I was in the front row nearest to Nick and I could see that his eyes were on me the whole time. I met his eyes and we silently felt the love that was growing ever more deeply between us. It seemed like it had just started but before I knew it was over and I was being escorted under guard backstage. As I went into the sitting room Nick gave me a huge hug and asked "Did you like your suprise?" "I sure did babe" I whispered quietly. Its OK Ethan Nick told us you guys are together and its cool with us as long as he is happy we are happy for him." Brian said as he came up and gave us both a hug. A.J. Howie and Kevin were all nodding their heads in agreement. A.J. was the first to say that Nicky was so lucky to have found someone like me. After a big group hugfest we all sat down and talked while everyone took turns showering and getting ready to go get some dinner. Now that Nick had come out to the guys he sat right next to me with his head on my shoulder. It was so liberating not to have to hide our feelings from the guys anymore. We all decided we wanted Italian so Brian called and made reservations at the best restaurant in town to celebrate. We piled into the limo and were on our way we expected to be mobbed by fans but Brian has secretly reserved the entire place so we could eat in peace. Dinner went very well we all talked and joked and had a good time and before long we were on our way back to the hotel. everyone was beat so we all said goodnite and went to our rooms. I went to the desk to get the present I had bought and when I got back poor Nicky was already asleep before he had even undressed. I set the box on the nightstand and carefully undressed Nick and tucked him into bed I stripped to my CK Briefs and slid in next to him. He felt my presence and in his sleep cuddled up next to me and put his arm around me. The big day quickly took its toll on me and I was out like a light myself. The night passed quickly as always but instead of the phone waking me up I awoke to the sound of rustling paper. I opened up one eye a crack and I saw Nicky opening the present I had got him. I still pretended to be asleep so I could see his reaction. He opened the box and took out the bracelet and looked at it carefully I could see a tear in his eye and then he turned it over and read it and saw the tears flow like a waterfall as he clutched it to his chest. Then he put it on and leaned over and hugged me tightly and then I opened my eyes and smiled. "Good Morning babe" I said. Nicky was silent for a second and then with a sniffle said " You have my heart forever too!! I love you!!" with that he kissed me deeply and I felt out hearts were together as one. " Whenever you look at your wrist I want you to remember that I love you with all my heart and soul and I am here with you always" I whispered and hugged him as tite as I could so I could feel his heart beating next to mine. We have to get up we have to get ready we have a full day ahead" I said as I kissed him on the lips and hugged him and went to get ready for breakfast. We walked to breakfast holding hands and when we walked in to the room we were met by all the guys saying "aw how sweet look at the lovebirds." We all loaded our plates and chatted while we ate. Mainly talking about the next two days as we had two shows to do as it was a huge venue that we were playing. This was our last show before we joined up with Nsync in Lake tahoe. The nites show went off as well as the first and as usual I was front row center for the show. I never grew tired of watching my love do what he loved so much. This time when I went back stage Nicky was waiting for me outside of the dressing room and we were escorted under guard to a limo that was waiting for us. "aren't we waiting for the guys?" I asked. "No not this time tonight I want to be totally alone just you and me" Nicky said with a smile. Then he gave me a kiss and laid his head on my shoulder. We stayed like that till we were in the parking garage and we were lucky no fans were waiting for us so we made it to the elevator without being mobbed. We got to our room and Nicky said "close your eyes" he guided me into our room and told me to open my eyes. What I saw took my breath away he had the room all candlelit and there were roses everywhere. "Nicky when did you have time to do all this?" I asked. "I left a note with the front desk before we left this morning. I wanted this nite to be special so we remember it forever." Nick said.
