The Gleaming Of Silver Chapter 4 At the Concert Arena, 3:30 p.m. "Man. Where's A.J.? He should've been here an hour ago." Nick complained. "Dunno. Did you call his cell?" Brian asked. Nick slapped his forehead, "D'uh! I can be soo stupid!" "Ain't that the truth." Brian mumbled unaudibly so that only the rest of the guys could hear him. Nick punched in the number, and listened as it rang.A.J. woke with a start, only to find his cell phone ringing annoyingly. "Damn." He looked around, and found himself on a leather couch. Panick streaked through him, as he forgot where he was, he then realized he was at Sab's loft. Sighing with relief, then smiling he looked around. Not seeing her. Again the phone rang some more, unfolding it up, he put it to his ear, and answered, "Hello?" As soon as he said that, he had to hold the phone away from his ears, as he listened to Nick yell at him. "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" "Somewhere." Calming down, Nick gave the phone to Howie, "Yo, Man, where the hell are you? Better yet I don't want to know. Rehearsals were hours ago." "Shit." "Yeah man. So do you need help, we'll come get you." "Nah. I'll be there, just hold tight." With that he hung up before Nick could say anything else. Coming into the main room, Sabriel sat by his feet, "You gotta go?" "Yeah. I'm kinda late for practice," A.J. looked at her blank face, and that got him to thinking, "you knew didn't you?" "Knew what?" "That I was a Backstreet Boy." "Yeah. But I liked you for you, not some fame and fortune." "Oh. What drew you?" "Your hair," she replied, making him break into hoots of laughter. "My hair, huh?" "Yeah." He smiled and drew her close and they both had a long and deep kiss, that lingered on their lips, when he pulled away. "Don't tempt me." Then he broke into fits of laughter. "What's so funny?" Sabriel demanded, and she hit his arm, once he didn't answer, but he just shook his head. "Wait till the guys hear this, first girl to tell the truth." Sabriel couldn't help but feel as if she weren't, she knew she had to keep it a secret for A.J.'s sake. "Sabriel! Sabriel!" Coming out of her daze of thought, she turned around, to wake up at the voice of A.J. "Hmm.." Becoming serious, A.J. looked at her. "I want you to come with me to rehearsals." "Ok." She takes his hand, and helps him up, pulling on his shoes, A.J. smiled at her. "My car? Or yours?" "Your car." And with that she led him out, locking the door knob lock, and the deadbolt she followed him. But before they left the hall she punched the buzzer's red button, to set an alarm on. They walk down the many stairs, Sabriel following A.J., as their feet make contact with the creaking stairs. Walking onto the top of the stair exiting, A.J. walked past the beefy guys, hand-in-hand with her, as he towed her along. One guy, new to Bruno's gang started to harass her, by pinching her ass. Sabriel, not used to this disrespect, let alone from Bruno and his newbies. Kicking her foot backwards, she lets the steel-tipped toe of her boots do the work, as it rams into his groin. Before he had to act, A.J. watch in amazement as he crumpled down on the ground. No mercy was given to him by his gang pals. Sabriel took his hand, and went down the final steps. "Which way to your car?" Swallowing hard, AJ lead her down to the red BMW, where he helped her in and he got in as well, and they drove off. An Hour Later. As the many fans saw that red BMW drive up to the gate, many screamed, and like a swarm of bees crowded around the car trying to get in and just get a glimpse of their favorite BSB singer. A.J. When the car finally got through the many swarms of teenie boppers, some girls fainted, while others screamed louder. Many hoping to catch a glimpse of Brian, Nick, Howie, or Kevin; but many only got to see one, and boy did they enjoy the sight. Parking in his usual spot, A.J. got out, and then went around and let her out. Sabriel smiled and gave him a kiss, not worrying about car theft they left the car unlocked. Howie turned around, seeing only A.J. walking in, he turns his head at the other guys and then looks back at A.J., and mumbles something, while Kevin looks up from the song he was looking over. "Where the hell were you?!!" Before A.J. could say anything in return to his tall friend, his hand still in Sabriel's, she walks out from behind him and looks over the group of guys, looking at the Backstreet Boys. They stared at her as if she came from another time. "Hi." She said cheerfully in greeting. The guys still stared, except for Howie, his nickname �Sweet D' truly coming up in full blast, he walked over and took her hand and lifted it up, and kissed her knuckles. Howie smiled up at her, and she smiled back. "Hi. I'm Howie, or else called Sweet D. And you are?" "Hi again, Sabriel." Howie still holding her hand, his thumb slightly caressing her palm. A.J. getting slightly jealous from his friend's charming self, pushes him away playfully. "Man, get your own chicks." Snickering, Nick stopped once everyone turned to glare at him, he looked over Sabriel's hair and earrings then approached her, and looking her over, he then lifted his head up and looked at his friend, A.J. "Damn....", patting A.J. on the back as he adds on, "good job, man." Then putting his hand to his self, "I am Nick." Then pointing to Kevin, hinting that he lead on to the introductions. "I'm Kevin and this-", before he could say a word, Brian stepped up and took her hand and shook it. "I am Brian." Greeting each and everyone in turn, while the boys still took her in, Sabriel smiled softly, feeling slightly out of place, knowing she broke the greatest rule of them all to each and every assassin. A.J. in spite of himself, smiled and then pulled her back against him, and kissed the back of her neck gently, nibbling at her flesh. Turning around, she kisses him softly then nibbles on his lower lip. A.J. getting turned on by this, kissed her deeply, wrapping his arms around her, as his left hand cradling her head. Both fall into each other's arms like a missing puzzle. "That answers your earlier question Kevin," Nick said staring at the two. "Yeah....noticed." He replied looking at the couple. "Ok guys, you can do that later," Nick said walking to the two. They kissed on ignoring him. "That's it." Brian says while walking over to the waterstand, catching his idea Nick follows, and helps him pick up the Gatorade water holder, making sure the lid is off. Then they both haul it over to the two kissing love birds. "On 3. 1. 2. 3!!" Simultaneously, they both dump it over the two, ice and all. "Mmmmm....wet." Sabriel said against the lips of A.J. as she kissed him on. "Great!!" Brian mumbles. Nick and Brian move back over to the stage, and greeted Fatima as she entered, and looked at the small groups of guys split here and there. Glancing about, she noticed A.J. and his new "friend" "Why aren't you guys on stage rehearsing? You should've started hours a go!!" "Sorry. Really we are, but A.J. was having a break and kept getting �distracted'." Howie said hinting as he glanced at the two love birds. Fatima glanced at the two, not saying anything, only raising a brow. "Oh really....A.J. if you do not stop kissing her, you're out of the band!" Before anyone could realize that he moved, he was on stage and dancing to nothing that was on, leaving puddles of water behind each step he took. Turning to her, he gestured to her to come over, Sabriel did, and he leaned down and told her, "Sorry, but I won't risk my job and dream for anyone." "S'ok. I feel the same way." But in her heart, she knew it was a lie. "So how long have you known each other," Kevin asked, looking at the two. "A day and a half." A.J. replied. "What?!" They all exclaimed, except for Brian, who seemed to be in his own little world. Sabriel looked at Fatima and noticed she was being checked out and "approved". Then Brian, shaking his head, came out of his daze, and told Fatima, "She fixed the speaker!" Bewildered the choreographer eyed him, and then turned and left. "What did I say?" Brian looked at Fatima's back surprised, as well as pained, for he didn't know what he said to make her leave suddenly. Sabriel gritted her teeth, and hoped that Fatima wasn't going to get in the way. Thinking of a way to see how much information the choreographer knew, she decided to call someone up who might know. Excusing herself from the rehearsal, she went into a hallway, and looking around made sure she was secluded from interruptions. "Time to get help from the Centre," she muttered to herself, as she started pulling out her cell-phone, she dialed in a number. A calm definitely male voice answered, "hello?" "Chivre, find out what their choreographer, Fatima, wants, and knows. She may blow my cover if she has any information on me." "Hey Sabby! Killed any new people lately?" "Nah." "So you want me to send you the information by fax, phone, e-mail, pager?" "Fax. Code: 5561943." "K...see you later babe, and I'll work over shift for you." "Ok. Love you too Chivre, thanks." "No prob, anything for you." -click- Putting her phone away, she turned, and went back in. Sat down, and watched as A.J. does what he does best. Jumping down from the stage, A.J. ran over to her dripping with water and sweat, and was about to give her a hug, when she ran from him. "Hey! You're supposed to hold still!!" "Unh-uh." A.J. dived and caught her by the knees and they both fell. "Got you now." He smiled and laid on top of her, making sure she's facing him. "Are you sure?" She asks him, and then slips her leg from under him, and rolls under, and over. Pinning him down, Sabriel is on top and she straddles his chest. A.J. looks at her dumbstruck, then smiles mischievously. "I like the view." A twinkle of mischief in his eye. "I bet." Kevin mumbled. A.J. looking at his buds, exclaimed, "What?!" They all just stared at him, and then looked at how Sabriel was straddling him. "Just don't have an orgy in front of us, dude, k?" Howie replied. "I thought an orgy had to contain more than two people." Nick said eyeing Sabriel. "Why? I think it would be kinda kinky?" She asked. They all looked horrified, except Nick, the image on his face was thoughtful, and nothing more, A.J. as well looks appealed to the idea. "Actually-," he began. "Don't say it." Kevin told him, cutting in. "But-," A.J. tried. "No! Unh-uh!" They all yelled at him. "So Sab, want to come with me on tour?" A.J. asked her. "Sure...I guess.." Thinking it was a great opportunity to finish the job on Nick. "No prob....Nick and Brian'll help." He said, volunteering the two.A Couple of Days Later....On a Private Paradise Resort Somewhere on the Bahamas. "Ok. Time is up, send the Skilluf Brothers." Bass intoned as he looked at his bodyguard, Stillion. "What about the girl?" Stillion asked looking at him, getting ready to call. "You know what to do with her," he replied and turning his blue eyes to Fatone, his colleague, who just entering caught parts of the order. "What happened to that month?" Fatone asked Mr. Bass. "I lied. She can possibly take care of it, but since she hasn't, well....the solution to our problem is the absolute one. To kill her." "Oh."Back in Orlando, Florida. "You guys did great," Sab said hugging each one as they walked off the stage. "Thanks Babe." A.J. said, grabbing her to him, and then planting a kiss on her lips. "Mmmmm..." Sabriel purred smiling into it.Next: Chapter 5 |
