Please e-mail to frnceso@yahoo.com. Now on with the story. From out of the Ashes (A continuation of the series Twist and turns Chapter 5 I woke to A.J.'s face smiling down at me. "Come on, Kevin's gone to town for a while if we are going to do to this than we had better get started," he urged while pulling me from my bed and dragging me into the bathroom. Basicaly what we were planning was the mother of all jokes to play on Kevin. "Now A.J., you are sure that this is going to work ?" I asked. "Oh yea, it will work, Kevin hates it every time I dye my hair, trust me it will work," he laughed. So we went to work. A couple of hours later I stood infront of the mirror to inspect my self. We had dyed my hair jet black with blonde streaks running through it. It was perfect. This was sure to drive him nuts. And not to soon. We heard Kevin bellow for Brian. I hurried up and got dressed and snuck down the back stairs and walked into the kitchen. Nick was drinking a coke and he promptly dropped it on the floor and started choking. When he calmed down he walked up to me and inspected the hair. "Are you trying to give us all a heart attack?" he asked laughing. "No, just Kevin," I giggled. Brian walked in and grabbed my head and twisted it around to get a good look at it. He just shook his head and laughed "Man you are in so much trouble," he said. "Where is Kevin?" I asked. I heard the door open and I turned around and there stood Kevin. His eyes got big as saucers and he walked up to me and grabbed my head just like Brian did and inspected it up close. "A.J. GET YOU ASS IN HERE NOW!" he bellowed and laughed at the same time. AJ came strolling in like nothing was wrong. "Yea Kevin, you called?" he asked innocently. "Don't you act all innocent with me. Did you do this?" Kevin asked. "I cannot tell a lie," he said walking up to me to admire his handy work. "HMM not bad. Not bad at all." he said approvingly. "Why is that everytime I get a new boyfriend you have to dye his hair or pierce something?" yelled Kevin. I could tell he liked it but he was just giving A.J. a hard time. "Come on old man, you need to lighten up," laughed Nick. "I like Jason's hair." Kevin looked at his cousin for help. Brian just shrugged his shoulders and smiled. "Come on Kev lighten up man. You know the rules. A.J. gets to dye the new guy's hair. Besides I was kinda tired of the clean-cut look that Jason had going. But I still think his ward robe needs updating and we defiantly need to pierce something." By this time I got scared and held up my hand. "Whoa whoa, slow down, who said anything about piercing anything?" I interjected. "Hush Jason we're working on an image change here," Nick said turning towards the dinning room door he stuck his head in and bellowed. "Yo, Nsync, gang we need your input on Jason's new image." OK now I was scared what had started out as a simple joke on Kevin had turned into something more. I tried to sneak out but was stopped by a hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see Kevin's smiling face. "Uh Uh lover boy, you started this and now we get to finish it," he laughed. By this time the Nsync gang had arrived and they just stood there and stared. Justin was the first to recover. "Let me guess A.J. thought that Jason needed an image change, cool I like it," he commented. "Yea, but I would have gone with something like blue or green," interjected Joey. "Next time come to me for advice," he laughed. "So Jason what are you going to have pierced?" asked JC. "Who said anything about me getting something pierced?" I asked getting alittle scared. Kevin stepped forward and took my hand and kissed it. "Would you, for me?" he asked with those eyes again. 'I am going to have to smack him for having those green eyes.' I thought to myself. "One ear, that's it, just one," I relented. "Yess!" exclaimed Brian. "Quick before he changes his mind," he said grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the door Kevin blew me a kiss. It was decided that Brian and Justin and Nick would go with me to, as they put change my image. Little did I know, Kevin was up to something of his own. When we all left to go into town Kevin went up to A.J. "Uhh A.J. can I talk to you?" he asked nervously. "Sure Kev," he said. "You know you can talk to me about anything." "I want to show you something," said Kevin as he pulled out the velvet box and opened it. A.J.eyes popped out of his head. "Do you think he will like it?" "Any one would like it Kev.," replied A.J. taking a closer look at it. "When are you going to ask him and more importantly why?" "Tonight and because I love him. And I want to be with him," Kevin replied. "But Kev. he is dying. What kind of life can you have with him?" he asked. Kevin looked at him like he was shocked. "I don't care if he is dying! I love him and I am not going to abandon him. He would be there for me and dammit I am going to be there for him," he shouted. "OK ok Kevin, I'm sorry if I have upset you. I just wanted you to understand what you are getting youself into, I care about you man,"replied A.J. "I know more than any one does what I am getting myself into and I choose to get myself into it if he will have me," sobbed Kevin. A.J. pulled him into a hug and soothed him. "It's alright Kev. I'll be here to support your decision. But I should warn you about something," soothed A.J. "What's that?" sniffled Kevin. "What if he says no. Maybe he doesn't want you to suffer with him," he asked. "Than I will accept his decision, I wont like it but I will accept and back out of his life," he admitted sadly. "But in the mean time we have a romantic dinner to plan. For the rest of the morning and into the afternoon they planned the dinner and I still had no Idea what was going on. I was too busy at the mall being dragged litterly from one store to another. "Here try this on!" demanded Justin as he shoved a pair of pants and shirt in my hands. I turned and walked into the dressing room and changed again for the fifth time at this store. I stepped back into the store to be picked apart again. "HMMM nah to blue," said Justin. "And to baggy," said Brian scrunching up his nose. "Yea his blonde hair doesn't go with the shirt," inputed Nick. "Here take this off and try this on," ordered Brian shoving anouther pair of clothes in my hand. "Yea and try these shoes on," insisted Nick. I rolled my eyes and turned to head back into the dressing room. I tried on the outfit. It consisted of white pair of light cotton pants and white silk shirt with a blue saphire tie. The shoes were white wing tips. I heaved a sigh when I heard a knocking on the door and Justin's voice demanding that I hurry up. 'I wont have to worry about the cancer getting me all I have to do is get shopped to death by the shopping death trio Nick, Brian and Justin.' Stepping out of the booth wincing at the anticipation of the complaints. Instead I heard silence. I opened my eyes and saw approval. "Cool, I like it," said Justin. "The tie will go great with the stud," said Nick. "Come on come on, time is a wasting," exclaimed Brian dragging me to the check out line. After paying for the clothes, which was a battle too. While all three were arguing over who was going to pay for it I slipped the cashier a credit card and took care of the bill. I turned around and they were still arguing. "Ahem, are you children through arguing?" I asked waiving the receipt infront of them. "Hey, we were supposed to pay for that," complained Brian. "You snooze you loose," I laughed. "Next stop the jewlry store," said Justin rubbing his hands together. When we got to Zales a nice young man approached and asked if he could help. "Yea, he is here to get his ear peirced and we are here to make sure he gets it done," said Nick. The sales man looked at me and I nodded my head yes. After signing all of the papers he peirced my ear. And put the stud in place. "Hey, I wanted to pick it out!" I complained. A mirror was placed in front of me and I looked in it. There staring me in the face was a saphire stud in my left ear. "HMMM, I like it," I approved. After getting my ear pierced they insisted on taking me to lunch that proved to be another battle trying to decide who would pay for the meal. Brian won the battle and got up with check and walked towards the checkout desk and his cell phone rang. "Yea whach ya want?" he asked handing the cashier the card. "Brian," replied Kevin. "I need a huge favor from you guys." "Sure what do you need done?" Brian asked. "Keep Jason occupied until this evening. We're planning a surprise for him. Keep him out until this evening," urged Kevin. "I don't know Kevin he is dragging now as it is. I'm worried that he will fall asleep on us," replied Brian worried. "OK bring him home and sneak him up the back way and make sure he takes a nap," reasoned Kevin. "Alright Kevin, we'll be home in the hour," replied Brian slapping the phone shut. He headed back to the table where the rest of the guys were trying to decide what to do next. "Hey Jason, how about a movie?" asked a Hyper Justin. I nodded half heartedly and yawning at the same time. "UH guys I think that Jason needs to home and rest!" spoke up Brian sitting back down. The rest of the guys agreed and we gathered our bags and headed back to the limo. It was uneventful because it was a school day. Once inside of the car I leaned against Brian and went right to sleep. "I guess we kinda wore him out today," commented Justin. "Yea that would be an understatement," said Brian. "Um you guys we have to be more careful in the future. He tires easily. Well this solves one problem." "Yea what is that?" asked Justin. "Kevin wanted us to sneak him in the back way. Now all we have to do is carry him up stairs," he replied. The car stopped in front of the house and Brian picked me up and carried me ustairs. He was shocked at how light I was. A few months ago I weighed 170 now I weighed 149. Once inside the room I had woke up and changed into a pair of pajamas and laid down. Brian headed back down stairs and into the living room where the rest of the gang was gathered. They put the finishing touches on the evening and after getting their assignments they went there separate ways. Chapter 6 I woke to a pair of lips on mine. I opened my eyes to see Kevin laying ontop of me kissing me softly. I moaned his name and wrapped my arms around him and returned the kiss. I stop kissing him on the lips and moved to his exposed chest. He moaned to and groaned in frustration. "Sorry Babe that is going to have to wait. I need you to shower and get dressed and wait up here for your escort," he ordered with a wink. "Escort?" I asked. "What do I need an escort for?" But he had already left. I shrugged my shoulders and shuffled into the shower. After showering I stepped out into the room and heard a whistle. I turned around to see Brian standing there. I flipped him off and slid on a pair of boxers. "Here wear this," he demanded shoving a pair of clothes in my hands. It turned out to be the same one I had bought earlier that day. After getting dressed I sat waiting for my escort. I heard a knock at he door so I opened it. Standing there in a butlers suit was Nick. I busted up laughing. He glared at me and gestured for me to follow him. We started walking down the stairs and I gasped. Along the stair way was blue Christmas lights. Posted on flower stands were Blue and White Carnations. I looked at Nick and he just smiled. There were also blue and white candles lit every where. Playing over head was some classical music. He stopped at the closed double doors leading into the living room. He swung the door opened and I stepped in. There standing by the fireplace was my lover. He was dressed in a black suit with a royal blue silk shirt and black silk tie. He had his diamond studs in both of his ears. He smiled and walked towards me and took my hand. "Will there be anything else Sir?" asked Nick formally. I had to choke back a laugh because I knew that Kevin had worked hard to make this evening special for me. "No that will be all for the moment," Kevin replied. Nick left and Kevin led me to a table set up by the bay window and pulled out a chair for me and I sat down. He sat down across from me and picked up a small bell and rang it. I almost lost it but managed to control it. In walked JC and Justin carrying trays. They placed a covered plate in front of both of us. Kevin lifted his lid and I lifted mine lid. Kevin had made Grilled chicken with pasta covered with a light alfredo sauce and steamed brocoli. We ate in silence enjoying each others company. After we finished eating the plates were removed and glasses of sparkling cider were brought out. Kevin pick up his glass and looked into my eyes and smiled. "This night is yours Babe," he said speaking for the first time. He than snapped his fingers and the voice of angles started singing. A blue spot light lit up and the Nsync gang appeared in white. The music of "God must have Spent," started and Justin stepped forward and started singing. Kevin stood up and extended his hand. "May I have this dance?" he asked. I accepted his hand and we danced slowly around the room I closed my eyes and leaned my head on his shoulder and got lost in the music. The singing stopped and the guys quietly snuck out of the room. We held each other kissing for a few more moments. We broke apart and he looked me in the eye and than led to the couch. He knelt down at my feet and looked me in the eye. "I come before you a man with all of his faults and imperfections. I only have money and my love to offer you. I want to be first person you see in the morning and the last person you see at night. I want to be the reason you live though I have no right to ask you, I am asking you. I love you with out measure Jason. I think of only you all of the time," he said solomnly looking me in the eyes. Reaching into his suit pocket he pulled out a black velvet box and opened it for me. "Jason, my love, will you do me the honor of becoming my husband?" he asked. My breath caught in my throat. I looked at the ring. It was gold with a huge saphire in the center and diamonds surrounding it. It was the most beautiful ring I had ever seen. Tears came to my eyes and I looked away. "What kind of life can I offer you?" I sobbed looking at him. He took both of my hands in his looked me in the eyes again. His green eyes were aflame with so much love that I was lost for words. I bowed my head and sobbed quietly. He took my chin in his hand and looked at me. "I want to be the one you love. I want to be the one that holds you when you are in pain," he sobbed. "I want to be the one that sings to you when you are down. I want to be the one that wipes your tears of sorrow and pain away. I want to be the one who suffers when you suffer. I want to be the one holds you when you can't sleep at night. And I want my face to be the last one you see when you leave this cruel world. Please Jason, don't deny me this request," he said sobbing uncontrollably now. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him to me. After calming down he looked up at me and asked again," Jason my love, though I have no right to ask you, will you do me the honor of becoming my husband?" "Yes, Kevin my love, my heart and my soul, I will marry you," I sobbed out. With trembling hands he placed the ring on my left ring finger. He pulled me into a tight hug and brought his lips down to mine. His kiss was urgent like it was the last one he would ever give me. His tongue darting all over my mouth. I moaned and wrapped my arms around him too. When we finally broke apart he picked me up and carried me out of the living room. "Where are you taking me?" I asked smiling. "I am taking my Fiance to bed," he replied walking up the stairs. We could hear cheering at the bottom of the stairs. Kevin blushed and shook his head and continued to walk towards our room. Once inside he laid me on the bed and left to go into the bathroom. I could hear the water running and new he was filling up the tub. He came back and stripped off his suit and than came over to me and slowly took my clothes off. He was so gentle and caring, when he was done he picked me up and carried me into the bathroom and gently lowered me in the water. He than climbed in and pulled me to him. "I want you to make love to me," he asked kissing me on the lips again. I leaned forward and kissed him too. I than gently lay him down on the reclining part of the tub and lifted his legs to my shoulder. Placing the head of my cock at his entrance I Pause and look at him with love. "Please take me," he urged. I ease myself in him. He winced in pain and tears came to his eyes. I bend forward and kissed the tears away. I ease in some more until I am completely in. The pain is replaced with pleasure and I could see it in his eyes. He wrapped his legs around my waist. I started thrusting in and out. He reached down and started jacking himself off. "Come on Jason fuck me hard," he urged. I went nuts throwing my weight into each thrust. My balls slapping his buttocks every time I slammed into him. I was moaning and groaning his name with each thrust. I could feel my orgasm growing. I could tell that Kevin was getting close too. Finally I couldn't take it anymore. I shoved in one more time and exploded deep into his bowles. That did it for him too. He shot his load all over his chest and some of it hit me in the face. We fell into eachothers arms gasping for air. "Man that was intence," he breathed. "Tell me about it, I have never cum like that before in my entire life," I responded. Looking down I saw that he had tears in his eyes. "Did I hurt you babe?" I asked concerned. He looked up at me and smiled. "You could never hurt me Lover boy," he sighed. "Than why the tears?" I asked licking them off of his face. "I am just very happy is all. I have the love of my life and everything is perfect," he replied. He leaned in for a kiss but I yawned, (must remember to kick myself in the morning, bad me bad me, never yawn in your lovers face.) He just laughed and helped me up and we got dressed in our boxers and went back into the bedroom. After turning on the gass fireplace we crawled into bed. Kevin wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close. I felt very warm and secure in his arms and soon drifted off to sleep. (From Kevin's point of View) I looked down at my lover sleeping in my arms. I was the luckiest man in the world. I continued to watch him sleep. He always looked so innocent while sleeping. He moaned out my name and I stiffled a laugh. A soft knock interupted my thoughts. Carefully untangling myself from him. (not an easy experience) I went to the door and opened it. Brian was standing there. "Yea Brian what do you need?" I asked. "We need you to come down stairs for a moment," he requested. "Can this wait until morning?" I asked. He shook his head no. I reluctantly left my small piece of heaven and my sleeping angle and followed my cousin down stairs. We head into what was going to be Jason's study. There sitting in a chair covered by Nick and JC was a man in a black sweat suit. Both Nick and JC had extremely pissed off looks on their faces and they were holding him down. The man looked scared as hell. "You all want to tell me what this is about and why you are holding him hostage?" I asked. Brian handed me a 35 mm camera. It dawned on me what was going on and anger filled me. I drove my fist into this guys face. "Who the hell sent you!" I screamed at him. He spit in my face. I drove my fist in his stomach causing him to double over in pain. "I would tell me what I need to know or it is going to get real painful for you!" I shouted at him. "Now, who sent you and what are you doing with this." He didn't answer me. "Take him to the cellar and call the cops. Maybe they can get something out of him," I said. "No no, wait, I'll tell you!" he yelled. "Well it seems our mystery man had a change of heart," I gloated. "Good now start talking. You can began with this," I said as I ripped the back of the camera off and ripped out the film and exposed it. "Joshua Gibson hired me to dig up dirt on you guys," he said. "Why!" all three of us asked at the same time. "I don't know, he didn't tell me and I didn't ask," he whined. I walked over and picked up a phone and handed it to him and he looked up at me like I was nuts. "Here is what you are going to do. You are going to call him and tell him that your mission is completed and ask him to meet you at the park tomorrow morning at 9:00. You will of course be there and so will we. And don't even think of betraying us. If you do we will go to the cops. Now get the hell out of here!" I yelled storming out of the room. I was to upset to go back to bed so I headed into the living room the guys had returned it to normal after my special night. I gazed over to the fireplace and was reminded of out special night together. I smiled at the memory. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked back to see Brian standing there. "What are you thinking about?" he asked. "Every time things get almost perfect something happens to stir up the fire," I complained. "I wonder what Josh is up to? I never did like him the moment I saw him." "Why? Because he looks like Jason?" asked Brian. "No, one look at his eyes and I knew he was trouble. They were hard as stone and mean. I'm telling you Brian this guy is mean. Meaner than that nut Sam. Dammit why can't they just leave us alone?" I sobbed. "We'll take care of him Kevin. Don't worry about it," Brian assured me. I rubbed my hand over my eyes and yawned. "You need to get some sleep Kev. It's not going to do you any good to get sick," he scolded me gently. "Yes Dad," I retorted and headed upstairs to my small piece of heaven and to my angle. Once inside of our room I crawled under the blankets and wrapped myself around Jason and promptly went to sleep. (From Brian's point of view.) I watched my cousin walk up the stairs and I noticed that the dark circles had returned. He wasn't sleeping again I could tell. Or if he was he wasn't getting enough. I decided to talk to Jason about it in the morning. But now I had some important work to do. I went upstairs and knocked on Nick's Door and A.J.'s door. They came down stairs and met me in the kitchen. I started a pot of coffee. The cook was there preparing for the Thanksgiving meal. We took our coffee in the Dinning room and sat down at the table. "What is so important that you had wake us up at four in the morning?" asked Nick yawning. "Yea we had a rough day yesterday," complained A.J. "Well we have to decide what to do about Josh. He's hired a P.I. to investigate us. Nick found him outside taking pictures. I want to hire us our own P.I. and find out what Josh is up to." "I don't know Brian are you sure that's wise?" asked Nick worried. (From Jason's Point of view) I woke up to find Kevin in bed with me. He was tossing and turning not able to sleep although he was pretending to sleep. I quietly crept out of bed and padded down the stairs. I had a terrific head ache and decided that I needed to take some medication. As I walked by the dinning room I heard voices. I looked at the clock on the wall and it read 4:15. So being nosy in my own home I peeked in just in time to hear Brain say. "Well we have to decide what to do about Josh. He's hired a P.I. to investigate us. Nick found him outside taking pictures. I want to hire us our own P.I. and find out what Josh is up to." "I don't' know Brian, are you sure that's wise?" asked Nick worried. I stepped into the dinning room and asked, "What is this about Josh and what is going on?" I demanded. "Jason, you should be in bed resting," scolded Brian getting up to come to me. I waved him off and sat down beside Nick grabbing his coffee and taking a drink. Nick just shrugged his shoulders and got himself another cup. "Now tell me what is going on," I demanded. "We are taking care of it Babe," Kevin's voice said behind me. I turned around and saw him standing at the door. "Come on let's get you back to bed." "I'm not a invalid yet! And Don't treat me like one. I want to know what my jack ass of a brother is up to!" I said raising my voice. My headache was getting worse. I closed my eyes and rubbed my forehead. I got up and left the room and headed into the kitchen and Kevin followed me. I went to the counter and picked up a pill bottle and opened it and took some pain medication. I noticed Kevin's worried expression on his face. "It's just a headache, Kevin don't worry about it!" I snapped. I saw the hurt expression on his face and I went up to him and hugged him and kissed him. "I'm sorry I snapped at you Babe. I'm just in a lot of pain," I explained. He put his arm around me and guided me back into the dinning room. "We really do have it under control Jason. We can tell you are in a lot of pain. Please let us handle this for you," said Brian. I sighed and looked down at the table. I was mad, mad at Brian and the guys for treating me like an invalid and mad at Josh and frankly mad at the whole world. I looked back up and around the table at my friends and Fiancée and saw nothing but love and concern on their faces. "Why doesn't the world just leave us alone!" I yelled slamming my hand down on the table making poor Nick jump out of his skin. "All I want to do is live my life with my lover. Is that to much to ask?" I sobbed leaning against Kevin. He looked around worried and rubbed my shoulder trying to comfort me. When I had calmed down enough or the medication started to take affect I went back up stairs to bed and fell into a restless sleep. At some point Kevin joined me. Later that morning I awoke to find that Kevin had left. I looked at the Clock and saw that it was 11:00. I got up and showered and dressed in a sweat suit and socks and headed down stairs. I was assaulted with an army of smells and I walked into the kitchen and saw Justin and JC bent over the stove arguing if the turkey was done or not. "Justin that thermometer thingy hasn't popped out yet so the turkey isn't done yet!" JC insisted. "But look at the skin it's brown so it has to be done," Justin argued back. I started laughing. They looked up at me with shocked faces. Which made me laugh all the harder. "Like you could do a better job!" glared Justin. I went up to the turkey and pulled on it's leg and checked the thermometer and put the lid back on the roaster. "It's not done yet," I announced. JC did a little victory dance as he slid the bird back into the oven. Justin just rolled his eyes and walked out of the kitchen leaving JC and I alone. "So JC, how are things going with you and Justin?" I asked. He blushed and looked down at his feet. "OK now I know you had better spill the goods man, what happened?" I urged. "We kissed last night," he said quietly. My eyes about popped out of my head. "And And what next?" I asked jumping up and down. "And it was nice," he said. "Nice, NICE! Is that all you can say?" I asked grabbing him by the shoulders. "OK it was great!" he shouted smiling. "What did Justin think about it?" I asked. "He was the one who initiated it," JC replied. We sat and talked some more about their budding relationship. It was great to see them finally in love. I heard the front door open and heard angry voices. We run into the foyer in time to see Kevin get into Brian's face. "Just stay the fuck out of our lives. You hear me?" he shouted. "All I am saying is that it was real stupid of you two to have sex right on the front porch. I mean those pictures said it all. God what do we do if those get out?" Brian shouted back. "Hey what is going on?" I asked. "You and my stupid cousin may have fucked up our careers!" Brian yelled at me. I took a step back and looked at Kevin. "Kevin, what happened?" I asked shaking. Kevin didn't say anything as he stormed past me. "I always knew you were nothing but fucking trash!" yelled Brian as he hit me in the face. I fell to the floor hitting my head on the bottom step. The last thing I saw was J.C. jumping on Brian wailing the crap out of him. After that I blacked out. Ok that is it for this section. Please let me know what you think. E-mail me at frnceso@yahoo.com
