Have Fun and Enjoy the Story. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What did he say to do about John?", Kathy said, "Aren't you two still dating?" Kathy hadn't finished her sentence as Kevin, appearing out of nowhere and replied, "Bill and I haven't discussed him yet. So....Who's John?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 6 Begins Now.... Bill looked over at Kevin and frowned. "John is my roommate. We had dated for a few years. He was the reason I moved to North Carolina." "Roommate?", Kathy said, "I thought you two were still together." "No....we just live together....until the lease is up on our apartment. We had something there for a while, but it kinda fizzled out after a year or two. He and I work together and live together now. He's a good guy, a great person...but he wants to be free and I want to be committed to someone.", Bill said suddenly. "Right now, he is probably having sex with some UNC college guy in my bed. He still believes he loves me, or at least is comfortable with me there, like an old pair of shoes. I don't wanna be in that kinda relationship anymore, I don't want an open relationship anymore. I just want one guy who wants me back just was much." "Really?", Kevin asked quietly. "Yeah. I want a guy who loves me and tells me he loves me and means it. I want a guy who has eyes just for me.", Bill said quietly "I didn't know you two were like that.", Kathy said as she patted Bill's thigh. "No one did. He doesn't think of it as a problem and I play it down.", Bill replied sadly, "I think the worst came on my birthday two years ago when he handed me my present and then went out to a sex club. He then made a point of telling me that the guy he hooked up with looked just like me.", Bill frowned. "NO....He DIDN'T!!", Kevin yelled. Bill looked up into Kevin's eyes and nodded. "Sonofabitch!!", Kevin and Kathy replied in unison. "So when are you gonna tell him?", Kathy asked. "Our lease on the house is up in May. I will tell him in March. I am gonna pack up my stuff in separate boxes and rent a U-Haul.", Bill stated quickly. "Where are you gonna move to?", Kathy asked worriedly. "Orlando!", Kevin said nodding his head. "Bill is gonna move down there and find an apartment there by us. That way we can all keep an eye on each other. Besides, Kathy, you can kill two love birds with one stone then, you can visit him and see Howie too!!", Kevin continued grinning. Kathy smiled and looked at Bill, "Are you gonna move to Orlando?" "I had that in my mind a few months back. I couldn't handle the memories of Rick in Miami so I thought of Orlando as a nice place to settle in.", Bill replied, "I have to get online in March and April and line up some job interviews, that way I can be gainfully employed when I get there. I have to find a place that will accept dogs as well since he said he'd put them down if I ever left him, and he wasn't kidding!" "I am liking this guy less and less the more I hear about him!", Kevin replied looking at Bill angrily. "He's a good man, Kevin. He's just not the relationship type these days. He got out of a horrible one before he and I got together and just would rather be in a relationship like the one we had rather than be alone!", Bill stated. "Whatever", Kevin replied, "I just hope I never meet him. He sounds like a jerk!" Kevin leaned over to Bill and wrapped his arm around his shoulders, giving him an affectionate squeeze before re-joining the others on the stage. "Kevin is a really nice guy. He wants to be close to you.", Kathy commented, staring at Kevin as Kevin danced through his movements with his eyes on Bill the whole time. Bill smiled and nodded, "I know. I wanna get to know him better too. I feel like I am dumping on him too much. I hope I can leave my baggage in NC when I move to FL." "I hope so too. I think you picked up too much in the last year or so, with Rick's death in DC and John at home." About thirty minutes later, Kevin and Howie came over and collected the two spectators from their their silent reverie. "We're all done.", Kevin said, smiling at the two siblings, "Let's go back to the hotel and just sit around for an hour and a half or so til we have to hit make-up and get in costume." "Yeah. Let's just go back to the rooms and talk...this time I promise I won't fall asleep.", Bill laughed as he stood up from the chair and helped Kathy up from hers. Kathy took Howie's arm and Bill walked alongside Kevin quietly. Kevin smiled and punched Bill lightly in the shoulder, "What's past is past. Live in the present....or whatever you said on the plane." Bill smiled up at Kevin and as the area was empty, leaned into him and gave him a hug and a quick kiss. "Yeah, I know. Just gotta keep telling myself that. I am tired of bringing you down with all my horrible problems and miseries. I hope that this is it and you can see that I am a just a ordinary normal person.", Bill sighed. Kevin grabbed Bill by the shoulders, stopping Bill from moving forward. He then folded him up in a strong hug, "You're better than ordinary, you're extraordinary. There is a normal person there, deep inside, but he constantly is doing all the little things that make the ordinary extraordinary. Like the way you made us all feel at ease with you at the airport, the way you sliced through the crowds and saved Nick, the way you handled the media and helped dispel any questions that might hurt our image. You're extraordinary.....that's why I like you so much.....that's why I wanna be around you so that I can hope to grow to love you!" Bill looked up at Kevin and hugged him tightly, whispering a thank you into his ear. The quick ride back to the hotel was quiet again, as Kathy smiled as Howie held her hand and Bill and Kevin, hand in hand, gazed into each other's eyes. "CAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TOOOONIIIIGHT!", Nick sang the Elton John song in a funny off-key pitch that broke the quiet, making everyone look over and chuckle and smile. "Wow....cuz! I have never seen you so quiet and happy.", Brian said with a smile. "It's about time too!", AJ laughed, "Bill finally came along and removed that stick that has been lodged up your butt since forever and you have turned into a normal person." "AJ....are you trying to tell me that Kevin here isn't always this charming, nice, adorable, well balanced person I am looking at now?", Bill grinned. "No.....normally I feel like I am in the army or something and he's a drill instructor.", AJ smiled as Kevin laughed. "I am sure its all a cover he puts on to make sure that you all don't sit around, procrastinate and slip into mediocrity like some other boy bands of the past. Besides, You all know that procrastination is like masturbation, don't ya?", Bill asked, a slight smile on his face. "Really?", Nick replied, a serious look on his face, "How is that?" "Well Nick", Bill replied grinning ruefully, "In the end...you're only fucking yourself!" The guys began to laugh hysterically as Nick thought about it for a second and Bill waited patiently for the satellite delay to hit the very blond, blond youth. "OHMYGOD!", Nick laughed, blushing a deep crimson, "Fucking yourself! That's SO funny!" Bill chuckled and looked at Kevin who had just begun to wipe away the laugh tears from his cheeks. Kevin looked at Bill and grabbed the back of his head and pulled him into a passionate kiss. Bill and Kevin's tongues danced with each other as Bill's hand reached up to Kevin's chest and tweaked his nipple lightly as Bill softly bit down on Kevin's tongue, causing Kevin to moan in pleasure before Bill broke off the kiss. Kevin's eyes stayed closed as he laid his head back onto the side of the limo. Bill smiled lightly until he heard a small cough. Bill blushed slightly as he turned back towards Brian, Nick, Howie, Kathy, and AJ, who were all looking at him with eyebrows raised.
