| I walked along the beach and sat down at the shore. I felt the water come up around my legs and shivered. But the pain that it caused wasn't nearly the pain that was in my heart. My now ex boyfriend told me he wanted to call it off for some dumb bitch. I was crushed. This was a man I loved with all my heart and he was going around and cheating on me. Oh well. Life doesn't always hand you great cards, at least that's how I looked at it. I stood up and walked along the beach some more, kicking at the sand and the water. I glanced around me and noticed no one was around. 'It's not to late to go for a little swim,' I thought to myself. I took my shirt off and glanced down at my jeans. 'Might as well,' I thought again. I quickly slipped them off and ran into the water. I shivered at the coldness but quickly got used to it. I swam for about ten minutes before I thought I should get out. I got out and gasped as I saw a man sitting there, by my clothes. I quickly got mad, thinking this man was spying on me. But I looked closely and I saw his distant look and the hurt that ran in his eyes. "Um, excuse me?" I said. He shook his head and looked at me. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you or anything," he said. I looked at his eyes and just about melted. He had dark chocolate eyes, eyes that captured you and made you forget everything. And his lashes, long lashes that framed his oh so lovely eyes. He blinked and I slowly came out of my trance. "Oh, you didn't. I was just going to get dressed. Oh, don't mind me." I quickly picked up my things and started heading off in the other direction. "Wait, I don't want you to go. I mean, I could use the company," he said, shrugging a little. I smiled at him and he smiled back. "Well, just let me, um, put this back on." He smiled and quickly turned around. I quickly got dressed and smiled. 'He's so cute,' I thought. "So, stranger, what's your name?" I asked. He stuck his hand out and smiled. "I'm AJ. But friends call me Bone," he said. "Bone huh? I'm Megan." �It's a pleasure to met you Megan," he said, softly kissing my hand. I blushed and quickly started walking away with him. "So, what brings you out this late," AJ asked. "Oh, I needed some time alone. My ex boyfriend broke up with me and I just needed to get away." "Really? I came out here for the same thing too. My girlfriend was cheating on me. She complained saying that our time together was to short cause I was tour all the time." "I'm sorry to hear that AJ. You seem like you really cared for her." "I did. But you know, you gotta move on. There's always something staring right back at you," he said, looking closely at me. I smiled and he walked me back to me car. The months went by and a lovely friendship grew between us. He called every other night and I called him the other nights. We usually did something on the weekends. Just us or the guys included. He told me about the Backstreet Boys and I quickly became friends with Howie's girlfriend, Resa, as everyone called her. She was a sweetheart. And Howie was totally cool. Actually, everyone was just so sweet to me. And we all got along great. AJ warned me that he was going on tour soon and that he wanted me to join him when they came back to the States in four months. I quickly agreed, thinking it would be a great thing to see him like that. He told me until then, I could hang with Resa. I smiled at his caring ways. He told me that he wanted me at his first concert cause he had a surprise for me. I just laughed at him and asked why couldn't he give it to me now and he said just to wait. I finally agreed and he told me the concert was in two days. For the next two days, he didn't call cause he told me he was going to be busy. So, I was nervous about his surprise. I called up Resa to see if she was alone and she said yeah. So, we talked but she wouldn't tell me what AJ was going to do. I just laughed at her and told her I would met her at the concert. At five o'clock on the concert day, AJ, plus a limo, pulled up outside my door. I was shocked to see this and he quickly smiled and said this day would be perfect. I quickly followed him out to the limo and quickly climbed in. Throughout the whole concert, I couldn't help but picture what the surprise was. As the Boys reached one song, I just about died. Kevin spoke the opening to words to 'I'll Never Break Your Heart' and AJ walked along the stage till he stopped right in front of me. I smiled up at him and he smiled back. He sat on the edge and just sang to me the whole time. I thought it was different but at the end of the song, he mouthed some simple words to me, but words I would never forget. I just looked at him and he smiled. He handed the note to a bodyguard the guard gave it to me. I looked at the note in my hand and I just glanced up at AJ but he was already gone. I opened the note and I could smell the faint cologne that AJ sprayed it with. *~* I saw you that first night on the beach, and I knew you were hurting. But, my heart ached just to hold you close to me. Since that night, I have longed to have you as mine. Please say that you'll be my girl? Speak to me after the concert, please? *~* I glanced up at AJ and he smiled to me. I just looked at him and quickly wiped the tears away. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked over at Resa. "Well?" she asked me. I just smiled. "You should know," I said. "Yeah, I do. You love him and you'll make this work. I'm happy for you Megan, I really am." She gave me a hug, and with the next 15 minutes, the concert was over. Everyone started getting up and leaving but Resa and I stayed back. The bodyguard came up to me and we quickly went backstage. I saw AJ sitting on the chair, laughing with the guys. He quickly looked in my direction and I ran to him. He stood up and opened his arms. I gave him a passionate kiss and when we finally pulled apart I just gazed into his eyes. "I love you Alex. I think I have for quite awhile. And I love how you sang to me," I said against his lips. "I love you too babygirl." He leaned in and gave me another kiss. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I gazed into the candle light, feeling the cool air coming off the ocean. The cd player was playing some love songs that AJ recorded for me. I turned my head and watched the water coming up on the shore. I thought over the last year, and how I grew to love AJ so much that he became my world. Without him, I knew I would be lost. I would die, just plain die. He was my everything. And I knew his feelings ran as deep for me. We trusted each other from day one as friends, and even on tour, I trusted him. I knew he wouldn't hurt me again. I learned that my ex was cheating with his girlfriend and we both believe faith had a helping hand in bringing us together. I felt AJ brush his hand against my cheek and down my left arm. He quickly grabbed my left hand and his thumb lightly caressed my ring finger. He brought my hand up to his lips and lightly kissed it. I looked him over. He was wearing black slacks, a white shirt and a black vest. He looked like he did on the Grammy's just no hat. But, that was AJ and I loved that about my Alex. He was so strange and outgoing, but so sweet and caring. You just couldn't help but love him. I gazed into his eyes and he smiled at me. It was a sly smile and my eyes narrowed just a little. "What's that for baby?" I asked. "Nothing hun. Just something I got to thinking of." "And that is?" "How you would look in my bed, in my arms, after a night of complete loving from me," he said as he drew me to him. I smiled and just sighed. Another thing I loved about AJ. He didn't pressure me into having sex. Yeah, there were many times that we came close, but both of us wanted it to be prefect. I glanced around and noticed the food he made, or helped making. I walked in on him and D making dinner. Okay, so he wasn't prefect, but he was damn close. I noticed the bottle of wine he got. Red wine. A lover's wine. I glanced at the candles and the red holders. Another lover's touch. And than the red blanket which we were sitting on. Love is on his mind. I laughed softly and he looked at me. "Now, what are you thinking about?" |
