Never Too Much Chapter 16
by JT Poole and Nicole Brown mznikkigotstyle1@sbcglobal.net mznikkigotstyle@aol.com
// Orlando, FL -- AJ McLean's House //
"Okay... dinner is ready. Music is playing... everything is perfect," AJ muttered as he walked through his house one last time while waiting for Serena to get there. He stopped in front of the mirror, smiling at his reflection. "Damn I'm sexy."
Even though he would never admit it if asked, he was both excited and nervous at the prospect of spending the evening with the reluctant music exec. They were just getting the chance to make good on their promised date after several cancellations on both their parts, and AJ had every intention of making this a night she remembered.
He was in the kitchen stirring the spaghetti sauce when Serena rang the doorbell. With one final glance in the mirror to make sure nothing had gotten on his clothes, AJ hurried over to answer the door.
"Well hello Ms. Kyle," he said in his best "I'm too sexy" voice. Serena grinned at him briefly, then extended a hand for him to shake.
"Hi Alex... and it's Serena," she quipped as she stood in the doorway. When AJ just continued to stare at her, she finally asked him, "Ummmmm, are you going to let me in sometime tonight?"
"Oh! I'm sorry!" AJ exclaimed as he moved aside to allow her to enter his house. "Don't mind me, I'm not fully house broken yet."
"Aren't you always the joker," Serena said with a smile over her shoulder as she walked into the living room.
AJ stood at the door watching her walk, mesmerized briefly by the sashay in her stride. He shook himself mentally and then hurried to join her on the couch.
"Serena, I just have to say that gold is definitely your color," AJ said softly as he made himself comfortable on the couch next to her.
"Thank you," Serena replied, thankful that she'd decided to take the day off and go buy the dark gold blouse and skirt she was wearing. "I was hoping you... I mean I was hoping it would look ok."
"I... I mean it looks lovely," AJ stammered on purpose, eyes darkening as he watched Serena finger the edge of her skirt absentmindedly. "Would you like something to drink?"
"A Cherry Coke if you have it," Serena said as her eyes locked with AJ's briefly before they wandered off to explore the room.
"One Cherry Coke coming right up," AJ said as he got up to go get her drink. "Feel free to have a look around."
Serena got up and walked over to his trophy case and smiled as she read the labels on the gold and platinum records that it contained. There was also a picture of AJ with a woman she assumed was his mother. They had matching smiles and AJ had definitely inherited her beautiful dark eyes. Serena couldn't help but to grin at the looks of mischief worn by mother and son.
"He loves his Mom. Two points for Alex," Serena whispered as she continued to explore.
There was a photo album lying open on a table and curiosity got the better of her. She picked it up and was astonished to see one of her favorite pictures of AJ in prominent display. AJ was lying on the floor shirtless and bathed in golden light, arms outstretched, his sixty-nine tattoo prominent. Serena felt her temperature rise slightly as she continued to stare at the picture.
"Damn I wish he had been laying there like that for me," she said softly, not noticing that she had company.
"Serena?" AJ said from behind her. Serena started slightly and put the photo album down. AJ's eyes never left hers as he held out the ice-filled glass. "Your drink."
"Thank you," she replied, moving to sit back on the couch, her cheeks burning with embarrassment. AJ caught a glance of the picture that had held her attention so raptly, grinning when he saw which one it was.
"By the way, dinner is ready whenever you are," AJ said as he sat on the couch next to her. Serena shifted closer, inhaling the scent of his Ferragammo cologne.
Shit, he smells good too! She thought with a smile in his direction. Ten points... plus he gets a twenty-point bonus for being sexy as hell in black.
"Let's eat then!" Serena exclaimed, accepting AJ's hand and letting him lead her into the small dining room where the table was set for two and candles burning gave the room a soft romantic glow. She looked at AJ speculatively, wondering what he was up to.
"Have a seat pretty lady... I'll be back in a sec," AJ said, kissing her cheek briefly before disappearing into the kitchen.
Serena touched the spot where AJ had kissed, smiling wickedly as she imagined those lips elsewhere on her body. Just the thought of AJ touching her made her body begin to twitch, so she hurried to think of something else as she moved to take a seat at the dining room table.
Once AJ had brought a steaming bowl of spaghetti and loaf of garlic bread, he sat down next to her and they began to eat. Serena found out that AJ was obsessed with buying hats, loved McDonalds French fries, and loved Star Trek as much as she did. AJ found that Serena was a fellow shopaholic, even though her purchase of choice was shoes and clothing, preferred the taste of Burger King, and loved to spend time alone with her cats Misty and Togapi.
"So Serena... what made you decide to come to work at Jive?" AJ asked, twirling his spaghetti onto his fork.
"I used to work over at Maverick, but I decided that what I really wanted to do was work someplace a little friendlier," Serena explained as she enjoyed her garlic bread. "I initially took the job at Jive hoping to get the chance to help make somebody famous. I had no idea that I would end up working with my favorite boybands. I always knew that there was a chance I'd get to meet you... I just didn't think it would be this soon."
"That's vocal harmony groups," AJ said with a grin.
"Whatever cowboy!" Serena replied with a grin. "Anyway... I've been a fan of both groups since day one, so this is really a cool opportunity for me to relive my teenage obsession with five cute white boys who can sing and dance, and still be able to help shape what Backstreet and NSync become."
"You have given this a lot of thought, haven't you?" AJ asked as he watched her. Serena grinned, nodding her head in answer as she finished eating her food. AJ watched her silently, glad that she didn't seem embarrassed to help herself to another slice of garlic bread before he remembered something she said. "So Serena, which one of us were you interested in meeting?"
"Well... I'd have to say you," Serena replied, red staining her cheeks as AJ leaned closer to her. She felt the warmth of his body as his hand rested on her thigh, and the sensations he was creating were making it hard to think. "I... I was always fascinated... w-with you."
"Really? Why?" AJ asked softly as he drew lazy circles on her skin. He watched her flush dark red, her eyes darkening with desire.
"You are incredibly sexy to me," Serena replied, tongue going out to lick her lips. AJ caught it, sucking it softly until she moaned. He deepened the kiss, bringing his hands up to cup her face. Serena broke the kiss, albeit reluctantly, and looked at AJ, confusion apparent in her eyes.
"What are we doing?" she asked, caressing his cheek.
"I thought we were kissing pretty lady," AJ replied, capturing her lips again. Serena pulled away again, this time moving out of his reach.
"No Alex. I mean, what's happening between us?" Serena asked earnestly, watching him. She reached over and took off his sunglasses, looking deep into his dark brown eyes. "I want to see your eyes when you answer me Alex... your real eyes, not the ones you allow the world to see."
"Serena, I think you know how I feel about you already... but if you don't, let me tell you now that you are amazing to me. You don't let me hide behind any of the facades that I try to erect and you tell it like it is," AJ explained, smiling at her. "You are smart and beautiful, and best of all, you love to shop too! A match made in heaven!"
"You are SO silly!" Serena said, laughing as she got up from the table and went back into the living room.
The Isley Brothers were singing about sensuality and she began to dance, loosing herself in the music. AJ watched her movements for a minute, enjoying the show she was putting on before he decided that watching her wasn't enough. He came up behind her slowly, wrapping his arms around her as they swayed together to the hypnotic beat pouring from the speakers.
AJ held Serena close, his hands roaming her body as she relaxed against him. He cupped her breasts, teasing her nipples until she moaned and pulled away. She turned in his embrace, kissing him almost violently. AJ speared his fingers into her hair, pulling her head back so that he could tease and suck on her neck. Serena held on tight, loving the feel of his lips on her skin, but wanting more.
She pulled AJ's shirt free from his pants, alternating between kissing him and unbuttoning his shirt. AJ busied himself with pulling her top over her head, laughing when it got stuck. When she was finally free, Serena stepped away from AJ and began to strip out of the rest of her clothes. When she stepped out of her shoes, he held out his hand. Serena took it, following him silently down the hall to the guest bedroom.
AJ laid her down on the bed, and then hurried to shed the last of his clothes before rejoining her. Serena lay quietly while he explored her body, and then returned the favor... the only sound between them the occasional moan or sigh. AJ pulled away from his teasing long enough to roll the brightly packaged condom on, and then lay down beside Serena again.
"Are we... really gonna?" he whispered, panting as she teased his hardened cock.
Serena pulled his face down to hers and kissed him feverishly. "Yeah... we're gonna..."
AJ lay down between her thighs, comfortable as he claimed her lips and found his way inside her in one powerful stroke. Serena wrapped her thighs around him, holding him close.
"A- Alex," she whispered, gasping and closing her eyes when he began to move inside her, lost in the swirl of sensations her body was creating.
AJ increased his speed, kissing Serena until she had to pull away to catch her breath. He reached between their bodies to finger her throbbing clit, his speed increasing again until she was almost crying from the intense pleasure. When his fingers quickened their pace to match the one his hips had set, Serena gasped, her body tightening instinctively around him as he brought them both closer to their respective orgasms.
Suddenly AJ flipped them over, putting Her on top of him as his hands caressed every inch of silken skin. Serena rocked her hips, watching AJ as he palmed her breasts again. He teased her nipples, smiling when she licked her own fingertips and began to play with his too. When he went back to teasing her clit, Serena threw herself into loving him with a renewed vengeance... her eyes closing again as she enjoyed their lovemaking.
Serena's eyes popped open, surprise filling them as the first mini explosions went off inside her body. AJ grunted, his own orgasm erupting like a volcano as her body milked him. She clung to AJ, tears falling down her cheeks as she cried his name again until she collapsed onto him, exhausted and sated, but content.
They lay there wrapped around each other, a tangled mass of arms and legs as they both welcomed the sense of closeness that existed between them.
"That... was incredible," Serena said softly as she tried to move off of him but was stopped by his hands holding her still. She looked at AJ, eyes filled with curiosity. AJ's only answer was to claim her lips again. Serena grinned down at him. "You keep that up and I don't think either of us is leaving this house again tonight."
"That's the whole idea," AJ rasped, his voice thick with renewed need. "I've waited for you for too long to let you leave before we are both too crazy in love to even think about not seeing each other again soon."
"Aye, aye Captain," Serena replied before AJ reclaimed her lips to take them away on another magic carpet ride.
// Fernandina Beach -- Baptist Medical Center -- Intensive Care Unit //
"No! Stay away from me!" Lance screams out, thrashing around in the bed. "Don't touch me! Don't touch me!"
"Mr. Bass please calm down." The doctor says, trying to calm Lance down as he still struggles with him and the nurse.
"No! Stop Don, don't touch me!" Lance screams, this time kicking the doctor, causing him to fall to the floor. "I won't be your sex toy!"
"Doctor Shafter are you okay?" The nurse asks, helping the doctor to his feet.
"Yes Betty I'm fine." The doctor replies, smoothing his jacket. "Let's leave him alone for right now. I will come back in a few minutes with something to put him back to sleep, he seems to be delirious."
"I guess the Don person is the one that left all these cuts and bruises on his body." The nurse says, handing Lance's chart to the doctor.
"Possibility Betty." The doctor says, scribbling some things down in the chart, handing it back to the nurse. "I will be back in a few minutes and we will try to examine him again."
"Okay doctor." The nurse responds, placing the chart at the foot of the bed as she and the doctor walks out of the room.
// At JT's Beach House -- His Bedroom //
"Oh yeah baby, that's what I'm talking about." Dan moans, moving up and down on top of JT.
"Oh you like that do you, how about this?" JT asks, pulling Dan down to him as they share a passionate kiss as someone starts banging on the door.
"Go away we are busy!" Dan shouts as he and JT both stop moving.
"Come on guys, this is important." Justin whines.
"What do you want Justin?" JT asks, still not moving.
"We need to talk to you." Justin says.
"We who?" JT asks, this time sliding up in the bed as Dan crawls off the top of him and pulls the comforter over the two of them.
"Me, JC, Nick, Robin and Ashley." Justin replies.
"Can you come back in a few minutes?" JT asks as Dan starts to snicker.
"Oh fuck this." Justin says opening the door to JT's bedroom. "God you act like you have something we have never seen before."
"Justin!" JT shouts, pulling the comforter up to cover his chest. "You can 't just barge into someone's room, we could have been indecent or
something."
"Yeah yeah whatever." Justin says, sitting on the bed.
"What's on your mind Justin?" Dan asks, sliding over to JT.
"Everyone has been caught by the police and we are about to go to the hospital." Justin states, as JC smiles at Dan and JT together. "Also Diane is on her way here."
"She's coming here? Here as in this house?" JT asks, sitting up in the bed.
"Yeah, is that going to be a problem?" JC asks, getting nervous a bit.
"That woman doesn't like me! She blames me for Jamie being gay!" JT shouts, as Justin flinches back on the bed.
"Blames you? How so?" Justin asks.
"She said, `I blame you for making my son sin against the Lord like this,' that's how." JT says, holding his head in his hands. "That woman blames me for everything that ever happened to Jamie while he was with me."
"I don't think she blames you now. She must know that Lance was gay way before you and he got together." JC says, sitting next to JT on the bed.
"No she doesn't. I am the first person that he openly dated and took home to his parents." JT says, as the phone rings in the room. "Will someone answer that."
"Hello?" Dan asks into the phone. "Hold please. JT it's someone from the hospital."
"Is something wrong with Jamie?" JT asks, taking the phone from Dan. "Hello?"
"Mr. Poole, Doctor Shafter here at Memorial Hospital, how are you doing today?" The man asks.
"Doctor Shafter? Is there something wrong with Lance Bass?" JT asks into the phone.
"Well there hasn't been any change since he was admitted." Doctor Shafter states. "I gave you a call since your name was listed as the emergency contact."
"I was listed as his emergency contact? Hmmm, I thought he would have changed that by now." JT says as all eyes were on him. "Since there hasn't been any change with Lance, is there a way I can find out about the others that came in with him?"
"Since you are not immediate family, I'm afraid not." Doctor Shafter says. "This was basically a courtesy call to inform the emergency contact what was going on with Mr. Bass."
"Well thank you doctor for calling." JT says, handing the phone to Dan to hang back up.
"Well is he alright or what?" Justin asks.
"Doctor Shafter says there is no change with Lance, so since I haven't seen him, I don't know how he would be." JT says.
"Well Chris is gone to with that Craig guy to pick up Diane from the airport and we are about to go to the hospital. If you two want to come with us, I suggest you stop making love long enough and get dressed." Justin states, pulling Nick down in his lap. "We will wait for you to get ready and all."
"Ah well." JT states, looking at Dan as he starts to blush.
"Awwww look, Dan's blushing." Ashley states, laughing at his friend. "That 's so cute."
"Oh shut up Ash." Dan says, pulling the pillow from behind him and tossing it at Ashley.
"Now now girls, behave." JT says, smiling as glares come at him from all the guys in the room. "Sorreeeee."
"Give us about ten minutes, we should be ready to go by then." Dan says, taking a chance as he gets out of bed, turns around and walks over to the bathroom in the room, not caring about what the guys said or thought.
"Damn, guess he's not shy anymore. What did you do to him J?" Ashley asks, watching Dan as he disappears into the bathroom.
"Me? I didn't do nothing to him." JT states, slinking more under the covers now. "He did that of his own free will."
"Yeah if you say so man." Ashley says smirking at JT. "Thank you man. About time he comes out of that shell of his."
"Yeah yeah whateva, get out of here we will meet you all downstairs." JT says, shooing them out of the room. "Go on, I need to get up and I don't need all of you knowing what I look like without clothes."
"Well the three of us already know, we have caught you plenty of times in the past." Justin says, giggling as he and Nick got up off the bed. "We will be waiting for you."
"Okay get going guys, I am starting to get embarrassed in here." JT says as the guys all laugh at him and walk out of the room.
// The Hospital -- 30 Minutes Later -- The Hospital Lobby //
"JT can I speak to you in private for a moment?" Justin asks, walking over to JT.
"Sure Justin, what is it?" JT asks, as he and Justin walk over towards the windows.
"I just want to make sure you are okay coming here and all. Are you okay coming here? I know us bursting into you room like that sorta put you on the spot." Justin says, looking down at the floor.
"Yeah it did put me and Dan on the spot but it's okay Justin." JT says, looking at Justin. "Everything's going to be okay."
"Are you sure man, I don't want to do anything that's going to hurt you or make you feel bad." Justin says.
"I'm sure Justin." JT says, looking at Justin strangely. "Where did all of this come from?"
" Well considering all the crap that Lance has put you through, I didn't want you to get hurt again. You know I love you man. I don't want nothing else to happen to you." Justin says, hugging JT.
"Ahhhhhh." JT stutters, not knowing what to say. "I'm surprised Justin."
"Why are you surprised?" Justin asks, looking at JT, tears forming in his eyes. "Don't you believe I care about you?"
"Well Justin it's not like we are really close or anything. It's not like you really hung out with me, Jamie and Chris." JT states, as Justin gasps and tears start flowing from his eyes. "Justin?"
"You don't think I care about you?" Justin asks, crying softly now. "I have always cared about you JT, you are like one of the guys."
"Really? You never showed it Justin." JT states as Nick and Dan walk over to where the two of them stood.
"What's going on over here?" Nick asks, surveying the scene between JT and Justin.
"I really don't know right now." JT states as Dan stands next to him.
"What did you say to him JT?" Dan asks, looking at Justin as he continues to cry in Nick's arms.
"We were talking, he asked me was I okay coming here and and..." JT states as Justin starts speaking.
"He doesn't think I care about him, he doesn't believe I sincerely care about him." Justin says, laying his head on Nick's shoulder as Nick held him in his arms as he continues to cry.
"JT how could you be so insensitive." Dan asks, walking over to Justin and hugging him. "Justin is your friend, you know he cares about you."
"Well I didn't say he didn't care, I just said he has never shown it towards me." JT says as Chris, Diane and Ashley walk over to them.
"Hello guys, what's going on?" Chris asks, as he notices the look on Nick, Dan and Justin's face. "Okay what happened to Curly?"
"Just a bit misunderstanding is all." JT says as Diane glares at him.
"Whenever you are involved it's always a big misunderstanding." Diane says, turning away from JT before he is able to rebut what she said.
"Why don't we all just go check on Jamie and the others and call it a day." JT says, walking away from them, heading to the elevator.
// Up in ICU -- Lance's Room //
"Jamie, Jamie darlin, it's mommy can you hear me?" Diane asks, sitting next to Lance's bed.
"He might not be able to hear you miss." Doctor Shafter states, walking into the room. "Hello there, I'm Doctor Shafter."
"Hi doctor, I'm Diane Bass, James' mother." Diane states, shaking the doctor's hand. "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too ma'am, I'm just sorry we had to meet under these circumstances." Doctor Shafter states, picking up Lance's chart.
"Has there been any changes since he was brought in?" Diane asks, rubbing Lance's hand.
"Not that I know of. When I first saw him tonight he was showing signs of delirium." Doctor Shafter explains, walking over to the heart monitor in the room. "I had to sedate him then, he thought that we were the people that had hurt him I am guessing."
"Oh my Lord." Diane says, covering her eyes. "Lord please protect my son and help him through this."
"Well we have him on some antibiotics that will kill the infections that he contracted while being held captive." Doctor Shafter says, checking things off on Lance's chart.
"Is he going to get better Doctor?" Diane asks, still rubbing Lance's hand as JT, Dan and Chris walk into the room.
"Right now his body will heal, but I don't know about his mind and soul." Doctor Shafter says, shaking JT's hand. "Hello Mr. Poole, glad to see you looking better than the last time I saw you."
"What are you doing in here? Haven't you caused enough problems already?" Diane asks, standing up, walking over to JT, getting in his face.
"I came to check on Jamie Diane." JT says, stepping back from her. "It's not my fault that Jamie is in here. I had nothing to do with Lou and his cronies kidnapping him."
"You shouldn't be here, he doesn't need you here. If it wasn't for your meddling he would have never gone down that road of sin." Diane says, smacking JT in the face.
"Okay enough. I think you two need to calm down and now. Don't make me ban both of you from this room. I will not tolerate this arguing.
"Come on JT baby calm down." Dan says, holding JT's hand. "Breathe and shake it off baby."
"Is he another person you have led down the road of sin?" Diane asks, looking at Dan.
"He hasn't led me anywhere. What's your problem lady?" Dan asks, stepping in front of JT as Chris and JT move back again.
"Dan don't." JT whispers, barely audible.
"How dare you put your hands on him, he has done nothing to warrant you attacking him the way you have. I will not stand here and watch you hurt him, he's gone through enough and I am not going to let you cause him pain." Dan says, as Chris grabs Dan and pulls him back from Diane.
"Dan man stop, don't do anything." Chris says as he could feel the tension in Dan's body.
"All of you out, out right now!" Doctor Shafter says, escorting all of them out of the room.
