Murphy walked back into his suite and went to get the door. He greeted T.I. and let him into the room. T.I. greeted all the men and watched as they were playing a football game for a little while. Murphy went into the kitchen to get him a beer as he looked around the spacious hotel suite. His eyes stopped on Nelly's back as he saw his man looking out into the Miami skyline. He got butterflies in his stomach and was lost in reality as he felt someone tapping his arm.

"Here's your beer man. You aight?"

"Huh? Oh yea. What's up with yo boy?" T.I. asked, motioning to Nelly.

"He's dealing with some shit. He wouldn't even talk to me about it."

"Oh."

"You should go talk to him. Maybe you'll have better luck than I did."

"Nah. He looks like he wants to be alone."

"Well he better get out of that mentality because we're all going to Jay's party and he better have a good time or I'm gonna personally kick his ass."

T.I. just smiled faintly as Murphy sat down and was watching the rest of the guys play. His eyes were transfixed on Nelly. He himself didn't understand their last conversation entirely and although he did want to talk to him badly, he didn't want to do it with a crowd around. He decided to play it cool until they would have time to be alone and talk. He took a gulp of the beer as he sat on the arm of the couch and watched the game. He stole quick looks at Nelly from time to time, just to appease his mind and his heart. He would have given anything at that moment to know what he was thinking. He was anxious and on edge because he didn't know how this night was going to turn out. He was thinking hard when he heard Murphy's voice.

"Aight boys it's almost ten. Let's roll up outta here."

T.I. was brought back to reality as he saw Murphy walk to his balcony to get Nelly. They came into the room as Nelly finally noticed him. He smiled at him so as not to arouse suspicion and T.I. did the same. The men walked out of Murphy's suite and silently boarded the elevator. There was tension in the elevator as no one said anything. They all filed out of the lobby in a hurried fashion and got into the limo that was waiting for them. The mood loosened up a bit as the men began talking and laughing slightly on the way to the party. T.I. was uncomfortable the whole way there because he sat next to Nelly and his smell was driving him wild. He wasn't sure if he could contain himself but more than anything he wanted to talk to his man. He didn't want them to be fighting anymore, if that's what they were doing.

They arrived to the party to see it packed with people on the outside. They exited the limo and fought through the crowd to the entrance. The bouncer immediately recognized them all and they were all allowed to pass through the velvet rope and entered the club. The music was on blast as the men entered the club. They noticed the mixture of celebrities and regular people as most of their group made their way to the open bar. Murphy almost instantly disappeared onto the dance floor with a girl. The rest of the guys chilled out buy the bar and talked. Jay-Z personally came to greet them and wished them well in the New Year. Nelly had already ordered three drinks and was going on his fourth one as he noticed that his group was getting smaller due to ladies. He was asked to dance numerous times but denied. T.I. was nowhere to be found as he continued sipping his drink. He was alone now. The party was great but he really didn't want to be here. In fact, here was the last place he wanted to be. He wanted to be by himself and decided to leave after he finished his drink. The rest of the guys were too preoccupied with themselves and the women on them to even notice when he stepped out of the club and inconspicuously walked down the street.

He didn't know where he was going as he kept walking down the street. He walked for a while until he noticed the ocean. He decided to go there as we walked toward it. He stepped on the sand and walked towards the water. The air was chilly and filled with loud music as he sat on the sand, close to the waves, and stared out into the ocean. He didn't know what to feel at this moment. He wanted to explain himself to T.I. but he wasn't sure how he would or if he could. He let the sand flow through his fingers as he watched the waves crashing onto land in the pale moonlight. He was tired of it all. He was tired of hiding his relationship from the world and tired of the tour. He already made a commitment to the tour though and he was going to see it through but he was completely lost when it came to T.I. Being alone wasn't helping him as much as he thought it would. He still kept sifting through the sand until he felt someone kneel beside him and brush up against his arm. He looked over to see T.I. hazel eyes looking back at him.

"What are you doing here?" Nelly asked after his initial shock.

"Looking for you. You aight?"

"Yea. How did you find me?"

"I know you. This is the only place you'd be."

"Oh."

"Listen," T.I. said as he sat next to Nelly, "Can we talk?"

"About what?"

"Earlier today. What happened?"

"I dunno."

"Is that all I get?"

"I can't give you what you want because I don't have it."

"Why were you questioning me like that?"

"I honestly don't know."

"Are you mad at me?"

"No. I'm just stressed out about everything."

"Like what?"

"The tour and having to keep this relationship a secret. All this shit is getting to me."

"But you knew that this wasn't going to be easy when we started so why is it bothering you now?"

"Because I didn't think it would be this hard."

"Yea. It's hard for me too."

Nelly looked at T.I. as he was staring out into the ocean. "I'm sorry about earlier baby. I don't know what's wrong with me or why I snapped at you like that."

"It's okay," T.I. said as he laid his head on Nelly's shoulder. "Being stressed out isn't always an easy thing to deal with."

The two men stayed that way for a long while. Neither said anything as T.I. still had his head on Nelly's shoulder and they both stared out into the water. It looked inviting as the waves danced and crashed into the sand. It was surreal for a moment but it didn't last long as both men heard loud commotions coming from behind them. They both got up and looked back.

"Oh. The Orange is starting to drop," T.I. said in an excited voice.

"Yea," Nelly said as he embraced him from behind.

The men stood in the sand as they watched the huge Orange make its way to the bottom, signifying the beginning of a new year. They counted down the seconds in their mind as T.I. grabbed Nelly's hands and held on to them. It was perfect and even better than he imagined it would be as the crowd burst into applause and laughter. The New Year was here.

"Happy New Years baby," Nelly whispered into T.I.'s ear and kissed his neck.

He turned to face his man and stared into his eyes for a second. "Happy New Years," he softly said as he leaned in and kissed him on the lips.

They stood there and savored the passionate moment. They kept kissing as T.I. felt Nelly wrap his strong arms around his narrow waist. He wrapped his hands around Nelly's back as their tongues massaged each others. The moment was perfect. T.I. suddenly broke away as he remembered something. He didn't want to share Nelly with anyone for the rest of the night.

"Come on let's go," he said as he grabbed Nelly's hand and led him away from the beach.

"Where are we going?"

"To my place. I don't wanna share you with anyone."

Nelly didn't bother to fight it as T.I. continued pulling him away from the beach. They stayed in the dark as much as possible as they walked back to the hotel. They entered through the back and took the service elevator all the way to the top floor, making out while en route of course. T.I. swiped the card to his room and opened the door as he let Nelly in. No sooner had he closed the door, did he feel Nelly press against him and kissing the nape of his neck.

"Oh baby," he softly moaned as he tried to grab the wall.

Nelly turned him around and caught his lips in a kiss and he wrapped his arms around him and picked him up. They continued kissing as Nelly made his way the bed. T.I. freely fell on it as Nelly followed and landed on top of him. He grabbed T.I.'s hands and held them above his head as he continued kissing and licking his lips. T.I. broke their hands apart and began undoing the buttons on Nelly's shirt. With one swift motion, he got the shirt off and saw the body that drove him wild. Nelly, following his man's lead, took his shirt off and tossed it on a nearby chair. He noticed that T.I.'s nipples were hard as he went down and started teasing them with his tongue. He moaned loudly but pulled Nelly's head off of him and brought it up to his face. He sweetly kissed his lips for a moment and stared into his eyes for a second.

"I got something for you baby," he said out of breath.

"Huh?"

"I got something for you."

"You got me something? What?"

"It's in my jacket hanging over there," T.I. said as he pointed and smiled to himself. "Go get it."

Nelly turned his head to see what jacket T.I. was talking about. "What is it?" he asked as he got off T.I. and went for the jacket.

He stared at Nelly's sexy chest as he crossed the room and went to fetch the jacket. "You'll see. It's in the right pocket."

Nelly reached into the right jacket pocket and pulled out a shining gold box. It was heavy as he walked back to the bed and sat on the edge. He looked back at T.I., who had a huge smile on his face. He crawled behind Nelly and grabbed on to his waist as he began licking his earlobe and neck. Nelly closed his eyes and had almost forgotten about the box in his hand as T.I. continued pleasing one of his most susceptible areas. He only came back to reality when he heard T.I. whispering into his ear.

"Go ahead baby. Open it."

"What did you do?"

"I hope you like it."

Nelly stared at the golden box for a minute. For a moment, he felt like a kid at Christmas, as he opened the box. He searched through the bright blue paper until his fingers felt something cold. He picked it up through all the paper and was speechless. It was a platinum nameplate with his name written in cursive letters. The chain was extra long and it shined as bright as the moon on the darkest of nights. Nelly just stayed there and stared at it. He didn't know what to say or do. He saw his reflection amongst all the sparkling diamonds. He turned to face T.I., who still had a smile on his face.

"What do you think? Do you like it?"

"Baby its perfect. I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything. Happy New Years baby," he said as he kissed Nelly. "Well try it on shawty."

He took the chain and put it over his head. The metal was cold against his skin as the nameplate dangled around his navel. "It's perfect."

"I'm glad you like it."

Nelly rushed T.I. onto the bed and kissed him passionately. "Baby you shouldn't have."

"I know. I wanted to though."

"Now I feel bad because I didn't get you anything."

"Don't worry about it. I just wanted to make you as happy as you've made me."

"Even though I love it, the jewelry doesn't make me happy. You do."

"Thank you baby."

"How much did you spend on it? It doesn't look cheap."

"It isn't and I'm not telling you," T.I. said with a smile.

"Please," Nelly pouted. T.I. found this extremely sexy.

"Eight hundred and ninety five thousand."

"That's too much baby."

"No. It was well worth it."

"I thought I was the one that was supposed to be making you happy."

"You do. You'll never know how much you do."

"I think I have an idea."

Nelly kissed T.I. again and, like every time before, everything just seem to vanish into thin air. All his worries and fears were gone and were replaced by warmth and compassion. Feeling T.I. kissing him and rubbing his back was driving him wild. He suddenly stopped as a thought popped into his head. He looked at T.I.

"This is where you went isn't it?" He asked in a serious tone.

"Huh?"

"This is why you left me earlier today isn't it. You went to get this."

"Yes it is. That's why I couldn't tell you anything."

"Oh baby I'm so sorry."

"Don't worry about it."

"No. I can't believe I acted like such an idiot when you were only doing something nice for me."

"But you didn't know that."

"I'm such a jerk."

"Maybe, but you're my jerk," T.I. said in a sexy voice. "Now come here and make it up to me."

"I don't deserve you."

"Maybe but I keep coming back for more so obviously I see something I like."

"Maybe."

"Baby come on. I love you. You know that."

"Yea I know you do. I do too."

"Well then I'm ordering you to come and make me happy. I still own you remember."

"You don't have to order me to baby. I'm more than happy to do it."
