Here is the second part of Question of Faith. I am taking it a bit slow in this story so bare with me.
I want to thank all the people that emailed me with positive feedback. Toby, again a big thank you!
DISCLAIMER:
This story is PURE fiction based on ideas that pop in my mind. As far as I know NO members of 5ive, Nsync or BSB are gay. I have NO relationship or connection with the bands, their families, management or recordcompany.
Enjoy part two
Justin sat back on the couch. He knew nearly everyone in the room. It was too bad Nick wasn't there. He was always fun to be around with. Some one sat down next to him. 'Hey JC.'
JC smiled at him. 'Why are you sulking on the couch? Don't want to go back to work after a well-deserved holiday?'
Justin punched JC in the shoulder. 'You know how to make someone very happy.'
JC was just about the answer when someone nearly jumped on the couch.
'Hey guys, I'm Scott. Who is the chick over there?' Scott pointed at the young woman reading a book, not really noticing she was in a room with three of the most popular boybands at this time.
'Hi, I'm JC and that chick is my girlfriend. She is a no-no zone.'
Scott started laughing. 'No worries. Damn she is hot.'
He got up again and Justin turned to JC. 'Why did you take Lexie with you?'
JC looked at his girlfriend. 'Cause I don't want to listen to you swoon over some guy all night.'
'Will you keep it down?' Justin franticly looked around if anyone had heard JC talk. JC grabbed Justin's arm.
'Listen it is not a world sin to be gay. Just relax and enjoy yourself.'
Justin sighed. He was too tense. 'I'm just going outside and chill for a moment.' Justin got off the couch and walked outside to the balcony. Someone was sitting on a chair.
'Hey.' Justin sat in a soft voice.
The young man opened his eyes and Justin stared in a pair of beautiful blue eyes.
'I'm Justin.' He stuttered.
The man smiled. 'I am Richard. But please call me Richie.'
Justin nodded. Richie's eyes hypnotized him.
'So you are excited about the tour.'
Justin nodded.
'And you are ready to hit the stage?'
Justin nodded again.
'And you can talk?'
'Huh?' Justin snapped out of his trance. 'Sorry I was just thinking.....I didn't mean to.'
Richie raised his hand. 'It is okay. I get shy around new people too.' Justin sat down in the chair next to him. Now that the ice was broken they started talking about life on the road, concerts and fans. Justin occasionally glanced at Richie. Justin knew he shouldn't jump to conclusions but if his sixth sense was right this tour could be fun.
Nick slowly lifted his head from his pillow. Again he had slept most of the day. He looked around and was disappointed to see Kevin wasn't back yet. He got up and roamed around the room. It took him 35 minutes to get dressed and he was exhausted when he was done. Nick took his room key and walked to the door. Maybe he should make an appearance at the little party downstairs. Nick took a deep breath and walked to the elevators. He silently blessed Kevin for getting them a room next to the elevators. Nick arrived on the first floor and looked around. Kevin said something about the millennium suite. How appropriate. Step by step Nick came closer to the suite. He had to stop after every few steps to take a deep breath. 'Come on, don't be a wuss. You can do it.' Nick said to encourage himself. Finally he made it to the suite. He opened the door and walked inside. Several heads turned including Kevin's. His eyes grew big but Nick knew he wouldn't come to see him as they were in public.
'Nick, what are you doing here?' Brian grabbed his arm and led him to a couch.
'I wanted to join in the fun. I was getting lonely up stairs.'
'You could have called and we would have come up.'
'You would.' Mumbled Nick.
'Hey Nicky.' AJ sat down next to him. 'Feeling any better?'
Nick shook his head. 'My back is killing me.'
'Do I need to massage it or does lover boy do that for you?' Whispered AJ in Nick's ear.
Nick blushed. 'God AJ, maybe I should take you up on your offer.'
This time AJ blushed. 'No man. I am not into that kind of stuff.'
Nick smiled. 'It is okay. As long as I don't move I can't feel a thing.'
Brian playfully smacked his head. 'Smart Nick.'
Nick pouted. 'Hey, be gentle I am sick.'
Brian pouted back. 'And I've been here all alone meeting these people.'
Nick smiled. 'Well who are they?'
Brian started to tell Nick who everyone was. Nick felt his head get heavy and leaned back on the couch. Brian's voice seemed to get more and more distant. Nick closed his eyes and fell asleep. 'And that was Five.' Brian looked over at Nick. He smiled.
'Poor thing.' Brian got up and walked to Kevin who was still talking to J.
'I think it is your turn to carry Nick upstairs.' J looked confused.
'We all take turns in taking care of Nick. This week it is Kevin's week.' Explained Brian.
'Thank you.' Mouthed Kevin. He walked to Nick and scooped Nick in his arms. Nick automatically wrapped his arms around Kevin's neck.
'I love you.' He whispered softly in Kevin's ear.
Lexie walked through the empty stadium. In a few hours it would be filled with the people standing outside the gates waiting for the security to open them. It was very quiet now but sometime she could hear the fans scream. JC was at a meeting and she was bored. She suddenly remembered that JC mentioned something about Kevin having his girlfriend with him. Maybe she would like to go shopping with her. She walked to the dressing room and knocked on Kevin's door. Kevin opened the door. He had a disturbed look in his eyes. 'Hi, can I help you?'
'Hi, I am Lex, JC's girlfriend.' Lexie didn't wait for an answer. 'JC told me you had a girlfriend here and I was wondering if she wanted to go shopping with me. I kinda like that, as I am pretty bored.' Lexie tried to look over Kevin's shoulder to see if she could see the girlfriend but all she saw was a bundle of blankets on the couch.
'I have no girlfriend here.' Kevin said. 'I think JC was wrong about that.'
Lexie's face dropped. 'Oh, I had hoped that she and I could spend some time together. It is kind of lonely as a girl on tour with so many guys.'
Kevin nodded. 'Well, you could come in for a coffee or something.' Lexie nodded eagerly. Kevin opened the door a bit more and let Lexie in. Lexie looked around the room. One side was very neat and the other side was a mess. A Nintendo game was set up in the corner of the room.
'Do you play?' Lexie asked and pointed at the set. Kevin shook his head. Suddenly the bundle of blankets moved and an ill voice said: 'I am going to be sick.' Kevin scooped the bundle in his arms and walked to the adjourning bathroom. Lexie frowned. 'Are you okay?' She asked.
'Yeah, we are great.' Shouted Kevin.
Lexie sat down on a chair and waited for Kevin to return. That didn't take long. Lexie turned around as she heard a door open. Kevin came out of the bathroom again followed by a young blonde guy wrapped in blankets. He was shivering.
'Are you cold?' Asked Lexie. The young man nodded. '
That is Lexie.' Said Kevin.
'Hi I am Nick.' The man said with a faint smile.
'I might be able to help you get rid of the cold.'
Nick looked at her. 'You can? I have the feeling I am stuck in a freezer.' Nick sat down on the couch again.
'Just lean back and give me your foot.'
'Foot?' Echoed Nick and Kevin. Lexie nodded.
'I want to give a reflex massage.'
Kevin looked sceptical. 'Does it hurt?'
Lexie shook her head. 'Nick may get a bit sleepy but that is all.' Lexie sat down in front of Nick and took his foot in her hands. She slowly massaged his foot paying extra attention to his reflex points. Kevin moved so that he was sitting behind Nick. Nick rested his head on Kevin's shoulder. Slowly but surely his shivering stopped and Nick started to feel warm again. He looked up at Kevin. Nick closed his eyes as he felt Kevin's warm lips on his. He slightly opened his lips inviting Kevin in. Kevin needed no further warning and slid his tongue deep in Nick's mouth. Lexie looked up and softly gasped. She had never seen two men kiss each other before. But she could tell that they really loved each other. Lexie smiled and took Nick's other foot in her hands.
'I am sorry Lexie.'
Lexie looked up again. 'Sorry for what?'
Kevin smiled at her. 'We didn't mean...We kinda forgot....'
'I am not suppose to tell anyone right?'
Kevin nodded.
'Well, I hate lying to JC but I won't tell a soul.'
Nick tried to stop a yawn. 'You are really good at this. I feel warm again.' Lexie wrapped Nick's feet in a blanket and sat on the chair again.
'Being on the road all the time is pretty boring so I read a lot of books. And I am diabetic and I have these cold phases too and I taught JC how to massage my feet to get me warm.'
'You learned this from a book?'
Lexie nodded.
Nick looked at her with surprise in his eyes. 'What else did you learn from a book?'
'Nosy boys should get enough sleep at night.'
Nick gasped. 'I am not a nosy boy. I am a man.'
Kevin wanted to say something but at the same time someone knocked on the door.
'That will be the physician.'
'For what?'
'Nick needs his shots to give him an energy boost so that he can do the show.'
Lexie looked at Nick. 'You are doing drugs so that you can perform?'
