February 1 � Washington, D.C.
Once they were in D.C. Nick and Shayna sat inside the parked bus. The rest of the guys went ahead and stood outside to sign autographs as they waited for the room to be figured out. He knew by waiting to be last he would get the crappiest room but he didn�t care. He didn�t want to be bothered. The ride from Philly to D.C. was filled with thoughts of his family. He wanted to know how his mother was doing physically. He wanted to know how his father was doing mentally. His dad was a gentle man. He wasn�t the type to want to hurt anyone especially anyone in his family. Nick�s mom could be a bit overbearing and she definitely knew how to push buttons. She had to have known that Bob wouldn�t want Aaron to be away for such a long time. All that being said, he loved his mother even when she acted crazy.
The door to the bus opened and Tim poked his head inside,
�Give it another ten minutes and I�ll be back for you.� He nodded at his bodyguard and returned to thinking about his family. His eyes were closed but not for long as his quiet time was interrupted by movement on the couch.
�What do you guys have to do today?� He looked over at her and she looked absolutely beautiful. Her hair was long and curly. He has always had a thing for her hair since the first time he saw her. It was so thick and it wasn�t until she moved in with him did he realize it wasn�t naturally blonde. To him her hair was like the sun, it was so shiny and just perfect. He ran his hand through her hair,
�AJ and Kevin have some radio interview during the rush hour traffic hour. And Howie and I have to call in to the morning show tomorrow.� He gently scratched her scalp with his nails, �Why?� Her eyes closed,
�Just wondering. I want to go somewhere, just you and me.� The trip wasn�t just quiet because he was concentrating on his family problems. He knew he had hurt her feelings when he told her she had to be nice to the fans and make sure there were no problems. It was unfair to put pressure on her to make sure her relationship with the fans was a good one. She had, and never would, do anything to cause a problem. It was like she had to be responsible for other people�s actions. He tried to explain to her that no matter who his girlfriend was there might be problems with the fans. It wasn�t an attack on her. It wasn�t her, it was them. But she didn�t want to hear it. She tuned him out and kept to herself.
�We can do that. Maybe we can grab something to eat and-� An idea popped in her head,
�Kristin mentioned a great place in Georgetown. We can go there. There won�t be any�it�ll be nice.� He knew she was going to say there wouldn�t be any fans there. He agreed and they sat on the couch watching TV as they waited for Tim to return.
He was ready to fall asleep after a nice meal when Shayna called out,
�Ooh, let�s go there.� He looked out the window as she kept pointing, �To the park.� She had to be crazy, he thought.
�It�s February in Washington, D.C. and you want to hang out in the park?� She tapped him lightly on the arm,
�Its not that bad. Just wear your jacket and we�ll be fine. Its not like it�s snowing or anything.� He instructed the driver,
�You heard her; to the park.� They parked in a parking lot near the park and walked across the grass. Shayna immediately went to the merry-go-round and pushed it around as she jumped on.
�I loved these things when I was a kid.� He pushed her around and watched as her hair flew wild and her smile grew bigger. She lay back and kicked her legs up in the air. Her feet were propped up on the bars and it was like an open invitation. He hopped on and positioned himself between her open legs and lay on top of her,
�Nick, what are you doing?� He smiled down at her. Her cheeks rosy red from the chill in the air.
�I�m not doing anything.� Before she could say anything more he kissed her. He braced himself by gripping the bars above their heads.
�Nick, we�re in public. And in a park. There are probably kids around.� He groaned,
�No way, its cold outside. No good mom would have her kid out here. It�s a cold waiting to happen.� As the merry-go-round slowed down his hand began to roam her chest. He squeezed firmly until she became vocal again. She gave in, as she always did he thought, and wrapped her arms around him.
�I can�t believe we�re doing this. We really should stop.� He knew she didn�t want to stop. She was simply saying it because it was expected of her. She had to say no at least twice. She took him by surprise and was able to push him off her.
�Where are you going?� She climbed off the merry-go-round and ran her hand through her hair,
�Maybe we should at least go behind a tree or something Nick.� He sat on the edge and pulled her close to him.
�We don�t need to go anywhere. We�re fine right here.� He grabbed the back of her thighs and pulled her onto his lap. She straddled him and he grabbed her head before she could say anything. He knew he just needed to get her heated up and she would go along with the program. Her hands were on his shoulders and he could feel her trying to pull away,
�Shayna, stop fighting it. We�re just kissing.� His hands ran underneath her sweater and her tank top and unbuttoned her bra.
�Nick, we really shouldn�t get too carried away. It could be trouble.� He sighed and pulled back so he could look her in the eyes. His hands, however, never stopped and moved around to the front and began to massage her breasts. Her eyes closed and she began to stutter when he rubbed his thumbs over her nipples.
�We can�t.� It was a weak attempt and he ignored her. He didn�t have to initiate the next kiss, she was so turned on. She leaned down and nibbled on his lips but he didn�t want sweet and nice. His hands were filled with her breasts, he wanted more. He took one of his hands and pulled her head down closer to him. His tongue filled her mouth while his hand worked her breast. It was then that she couldn�t take it anymore and began to grind into him. That was it. He knew if he could just get her going there would be no stopping her. The only thing that did stop them both was the ringing of his cell phone. He reluctantly answered and was disappointed that he did. She kissed him on his neck and ear as he listened to their tour manager tell him they had an informal meet and greet with a couple of fans.
�Who are they?� she asked as she tried to adjust her clothes while they walked back to the car.
�Some Senator�s daughter and her friends are going to meet us at our hotel.� She smiled at him and took a hold of his hand and snuggled up to him,
�Aw, that�s so cute.� He sighed. He didn�t think so. It wasn�t that he didn�t enjoy the fans and didn�t enjoy making them happy but he was enjoying Shayna a lot more.
�Yeah, cute.� He grabbed her butt tight and two of his fingers slid between her legs,
�Then we finish what we started.� She squealed as she ran away from his roaming hand. He followed her into the car and they settled in. Her head immediately landed on his shoulder and she intertwined her fingers in his. He felt like her protector and it made him feel good. It made him feel strong.
