| �I�m sorry Shannon,� AJ said. She bent down and gave him a little kiss. �As hard as it was, I forgive you,� she said. She got up and gave AJ a hug. �I love you, now and forever.� �I love you too. Now and forever.� I just sat there, gazing into Howie�s eyes. I wanted him to make the first move. He slowly put his hand on my waist and then traced my tattoo. He bent his head up and gave me a kiss. �God, I missed that,� I thought. �Theresa, I can�t ever began to tell you how sorry I am,� he started. �It may have taken awhile, but I forgive you. Don�t forget that I never stopped loving you.� �I love you, too.� I got off his knee and he gave me a hug. The curtains were drawn and we went backstage. �I forgot about Lance. Let me go get him.� I ran back on the stage and called out to him. He got up on stage and followed me. �You know it�s different when your in the crowd.� �I guess,� I said. I linked my arm through his and went to the guys private room. Lance walked in first and when I came in, everyone just stared. �What?� I asked. I was confused as to why everyone was staring at me. �What happened to you?� Brian asked. He stood up and walked over to me. He lightly brushed my cheek. �Oh, that. Um..well�you see��. Okay, I�ll just spit it out. My first boyfriend, Neil, stopped by. I called him a jackass and he decided he felt like hitting me again,� I told them. �Again?� Nick asked. I looked down and explained my whole, exact, relationship with Neil. I said things that I never mentioned to Lance or Shannon. As I finished, I looked around the room and saw everyone was angry. �God Theresa. If you would have said something at the club..� AJ said. He came over to me and gave me a hug. �I�m okay. Imean, I�ll live. But, I don�t want any of you guys going after him. Just leave him alone,� I told everyone. Everyone nodded then heads. �Theresa, why didn�t you ever tell me?� Shannon asked. �I loved Neil at the time and I would have liked to have my boyfriend around. I mean, he was drunk that night, he doesn�t ever remember,� I answered Shannon. �How can you forget trying to rape someone?� Howie asked. �Simple, ask Shannon.� After the words left my mouth, I wished I could take them back. I glanced over at Shannon and she looked very surprised. What I had said, wasn�t supposed to come out at all. �What does she mean?� Kevin asked. Shannon just looked at everyone and began to explain. Once again, everyone was in awe. �Look guys, we�ve talked for the last two hours and I�m kind of tired,� I told them. �How about one more song?� Brian asked. �Okay, just one,� I said. The Boys got down on one knee and started. �I�d go anywhere for you, anywhere you asked me to,� filled the room. As they finished Shannon hugged all the guys, followed by me. As she reached AJ, she just looked in his eyes. They gave each other a sweet kiss. I stopped at Howie and just gazed into those brown eyes. I pulled him close and gave him a kiss. �Please, come back to my place?� �You don�t even have to ask,� he said. We all left the room and walked out to the limo. I got into the limo and watched Lance walk away. I called out to him and asked where he was going. �To the hotel. You guys need to be alone. And I�m sure your in good hands,� he told me. �Thanks. I�ll see ya tomorrow.� �Yeah. Have fun,� he said. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and left. I sat down next to Howie and he grabbed my hand. I glanced over at AJ and Shannon. They were both happily gazing into each others eyes. I laid my head down on Howie�s shoulder and smiled. �What?� he asked. �Oh, I�ve missed this.� We pulled up to our place and left the limo. I stepped inside and plopped down on the couch. �Um, Theresa, why did you guys leave?� Howie asked, sitting down beside me. I explained how we got the note and saw their signatures and we thought that they were cheating. And then we got mad because we assumed they were like our other boyfriends. AJ and Howie just nodded their heads. After I finished I looked at them and saw a look of understanding in their eyes. But I also saw the truth in there. We were wrong in assuming. Don�t they always say that assumptions are the mother of all fuck ups. Well, they weren�t wrong in this case. AJ and Howie went on to explain what truly happened. �See, yes we did get paged, and yes we signed a piece of paper by them, but we didn�t know what it was. But we wound have never cheated on you guys. And worst off with them.� �Oh, my. I�m so sorry,� I said as I held my head in my hands. I couldn�t believe what I�ve done. �Why couldn�t I just trust them?� I asked myself. �It�s okay. To say the truth, I think we would have done the same thing,� AJ said. �Come on AJ. I think, um, we need to talk in my room,� Shannon said. She realized that we made mistakes and now she was really going to show she was sorry. �Yes ma�am,� AJ said. He walked in her room and stopped. �Nice room,� he commented. �It�s okay.� �Were you and Theresa planning on sticking together after you leave college?� �Yeah, probably,� Shannon answered, sitting down on her bed. �Look, AJ I�m really sorry. I mean, I should have trusted you. I loved you and I still do..� AJ cut Shannon off with a kiss. �Baby, please don�t worry. We all make mistakes. I totally understand.� AJ sat down next to Shannon and grabbed her hand. �I missed you,� AJ said. He bent his head closer and gave her a kiss. He pulled away and just stared into her eyes. Shannon wrapped her arms around AJ�s neck. They kissed again. First it was soft and gentle, but when AJ pushed Shannon back on the bed, she deepened the kiss. She explored his mouth with her tongue. AJ pulled away and started kissing her neck. First soft and gentle but when Shannon started taking off his shirt, he kissed her neck with more force. AJ slipped his hands to the bottom of her shirt and pulled if off. Since she was wearing a strapless bra, he started kissing her shoulders. He slowly went to the top of her chest and then down to her stomach, placing soft kisses everywhere. He stopped when he reached her ring. He traced the outside of her belly button with his finger then he bent down and drew the ring in his mouth and played with it. Slowly he stopped and started kissing her body again. Once he reached her lips, she turned him on his back. She tired to take his shirt off and ran her hands over his shirt, tying to feel his muscles. She bent down and started kissing his neck. She, this time, planned on something being there, so she kissed with more force then ever before. As she pulled away, she started to take his shirt off again. She bent down and kissed his muscles, given him soft, sweet kisses. |
