| I laid my head on his lap and he stroked my hair. I stared at the ceiling and he was looking at the pictures on the wall. �You remember when mom used to make us play outside. We never wanted to, but once we were out there, she could never bring us in.� He laughed but nodded his head. �Remember we would always come up with some weird ass shit. Like the game of you being a Queen.� �And I would always demand a King. We would rule over the flowers and other animals.� �Every once in a while Tommy would come out and play. You know, he had the biggest crush on you?� �No, when did he tell you that?� �When you left.� I frowned. �What?� �Well, we kept in touch, but he never said a word to me.� �He was that way though. Wonder what he�s up to these days?� �The last I heard, his wife was just getting ready to have their first child.� �Damn.� He shook his had. �Time surely flies.� �That it does bro.� I heard the door open and I watched as Nick, Terri, Shannon and Brian walked in. �Make yourselves at home,� he said. �Thanks man.� I got up and walked to the door. �I�ll catch you guys later. Call me ladies.� I waved and left. �No, no, no ladies. The song sounds like crap. I know you love to play hard stuff, but this is a love song,� Meshelle said. She left the room, talked to someone and walked back in. �Go, take a break.� Shannon, Megan, and Jennifer all ran from the room, followed by Meshelle. �I love the song Terri.� �Thanks Resa.� �What�s wrong girl?� �The fuckin� press. They keep commenting on the four year age gap between Nick and I. Well, Nick got upset and we had a fight last night.� She sighed and sat down behind my drums. �You know you shouldn�t let them get to you.� �I know. But that�s all we see.� �I see it a lot too. Look, just don�t let them get to you. They just need to sell a story. You love Nick and he loves you. That�s all that matters. And what is this I hear Nick might be asking for your hand in marriage?� Terri just busted out laughing. �Where did you hear that from?� �One of those stupid tabloids.� �Oh good Lord. No, that�s so far from the truth.� �I don�t know girl. One day I see all of us happily married.� �To the same people we�re dating now.� I sighed but looked at her. �I see you with Nick. I see Kevin and Jennifer together. As for Shannon and Brian, I don�t know. The same with AJ and Megan. But who am I to say anything? Look at my relationship with my mine? It�s been a fuckin� roller coaster since day one.� �Yeah, but you love him and he loves you, isn�t that all that matters?� �Yes, it is, but,� I ran my fingers through my hair, �sometimes I wonder.� �Girl, don�t wonder. He does. I mean, I�ve seen the way he looks at you. It�s like, I don�t know, but he loves you.� I glanced up at the door as Meshelle walked in. �I got some news for you ladies but I don�t want you to talk to the other girls yet.� �What�s up boss lady?� I asked. �I have the tour schedule. Except, you�re opening up for someone.� �Who�s that?� Terri asked. �The Backstreet Boys.� My head swam at the mention of that name. Don�t get me wrong, I loved my man and the Boys. But I hard a deep, dark secret that could totally come out at any minute and that would a bad thing. �You okay Resa?� I glanced at Terri and smiled. �Fine.� �There are some last minute things that I need to work out before I set it in stone and that�s why you can�t tell the girls anything, kay?� �Sure,� we both mumbled. �You know they would totally hate us if they found out we knew something,� Terri said. �Oh fuck yeah. Trinity would really be just three members.� We both busted out laughing as the girls walked in. �Let�s practice hoe�s.� On tour, tour�our tour, performing in front of thousands of people. Can you say �Oh my God�? Our dreaming was true. It wouldn�t really matter that much of the fans who was there, were there to see the Boys. We had fans too, and we knew that. �Earth to Resa?� I shook my head and looked at Shannon. �What?� �You okay?� �Oh, yeah, what�s up?� �The Boys want us in their practice studio.� �Did they say why?� �Nope.� I shook my head, not even guessing what they could want. �Strange people.� �So very totally strange. But none the less we must go.� �Probably wondering why we asked you here. Quite simple, you�re touring with us and there�s a couple of songs we want you to play with us on,� Howie said. We stood there, all eyes staring at him. �What?� �Woah, you want Trinity to play with you guys?� Megan said. �Yes. And maybe do a couple background vocals,� Kevin answered. �You�re shitting us,� I said, shaking my head. �No. Maybe songs like �Show Me The Meaning� or �Everyone� and a couple others. Of course it�s going to have to be in a set,� AJ said, counting off songs in his head. �Damn. Who, in a million years, would think that Trinity would play for the Boys?� Terri got out. �It�s not that big of a deal, really,� Nick said, laughing at us. �When do we start?� I asked, jumping out of my seat. �Start practicing now. We start touring in a month,� Brian answered. �And how long are we going to be together?� �A grand total of four months,� he answered again. I felt my heart beat start going faster and I sat back down. �You okay?� �Yeah. I mean, four moths of being with my best friends�� I trailed off and under my breath mumbled �family.� |
