Ok, I have NEVER met any member of New Kids on the Block....So I'm kind of shooting in the dark with their personalities...I apologize for adding them into the story, cut me a break...I'm an 80s kid, and I just saw them in concert, and ideas flooded my mind when I was at the concert...
***********
Jay pulled the car into a parking spot in the parking garage, he turned the motor off as he turned to face me in the car. I held the tears back as I looked out the window, doing whatever I could to avoid the eye contact. I was brought out of it when I felt Jay's soft fingers grasp my chin, slowly turning it to face him as he spoke "I could never hate you..." I swallowed the cryball that attacked my throat as I spoke "After all I put you through? After the way I treated you?" I rambled on, when Jay interrupted me "After everything you put me through, but guess what?" he spoke with a smile, as I shrugged my shoulders, when he continued "I'm still here…still here for you…waiting for you" I smiled as I wiped a stray tear that escaped from my eye, I watched as Jay smiled before he spoke "Let's get this show on the road" wagging his eyebrows, and jumping out of the car.
We walked up to the line that was already forming, I had learned that Jay was actually staying in the same hotel that the concert was being held at…we stood in line together and to say it didn't feel good would be lying. I missed Jay so much, not just on a sexual level, but I missed my friend, my companion. I missed the way he could always make me laugh, I missed the sound of his boisterous laugh when I would say something funny. I missed the way we would gently tease each other verbally, I couldn't deny the fact that I missed him. We stood in line together, when I felt his hand reach for mine, his fingers intertwining with mine, when I turned back to him, looking deep into his eyes. He simply smiled as I allowed our hands to stay connected as I smiled back. Over the last few days, I had thought a lot about Jay and I, and my true feelings for him.
I looked around and quickly noticed that Jay was the only guy in line, besides a little boy who was a few people in front of us. I leaned closer to Jay as I whispered "Are you sure you want to do this? I mean…you do kind of stand out?" Jay smiled back at me, as he glanced around, he leaned in to me and whispered back "Do you want to do this?" I simply shrugged when Jay nudged me with his shoulder as I looked back into his eyes "Liar!" he exclaimed with a smile. I laughed to myself, when Jay spoke "It'll be fine" as I felt his hand leave mine, and he wrapped his arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer to his body. Feeling my body being pressed against his, I could feel the fire underneath my skin burning, just being near his body, even though there were layers of clothes between us.
I was pulled out of those thoughts, when an employee approached us. The employee seemed to be very excited as he spoke "You're Christian Cage?", I watched as Jay smiled, and shook the young employee's hand. I helped the employee, by snapping a photo with his cell phone of Jay and him, as the excited employee went back to his post. Only a few moments later, the same employee returned "Christian, would you two follow me?", Jay and I glanced at each other, as we followed the employee. He walked us backstage and into a cool air conditioned room, there were quite a few other people in the room, but nothing like the people standing outside in line. Jay and I looked at the employee confused when he explained "I checked with my boss, and he agreed for me to upgrade you two" he explained handing us two new VIP laminated passes. My eyes open wide as I spoke "Are you for real?", the employee smiled when he spoke "Yep, you'll be escorted to your seats in the first row after your meet and greet with the other VIP's" I looked to Jay who simply shrugged, then shook the employees hand, as Jay and I glanced around the room. Jay smiled as he looked over to me "See, it's a good thing I was here" I smiled as I nodded in agreement and took a seat on a chair next to the far wall.
In only moments, the doors on the other side of the room opened, and the crowd erupted into applause, as I saw the 5 guys I had dreamed about when I was 8 walked into the room. I felt my stomach tighten as I watched them as they all split up and they began walking around the room, talking to people, taking pictures, laughing having a good time. I watched from my seat, on the far side of the room, I was practically in shock. I watched them for what seemed to be an eternity when I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard Jay speak "Ya know, you're never gonna meet them sitting way over here" I looked to his smiling face, as I nodded my head quickly "No, it's ok". I watched the confused look on Jay's face appear, as he spoke again "You mean you don't want to meet them at all?" I nodded my head quickly "No, I'm cool". I was panicked plain and simple, as I turned my attention back to the guys who were entertaining the women across the room.
I could hear Jay laugh when I glanced back over to him, "What?" I spoke curiously when Jay answered "You're Scared". I nodded my head "No I'm not…I just changed my mind". Jay laughed again, I looked to Jay when he stood from his seat. My eyes grew wide, as I panicked that he might go say something to one of the guys, Jay spoke sternly "Hand me your program" I asked curiously "Why?" Jay smiled as he grabbed the program from my hands "Well, since you're not gonna go over there, I'm gonna at least get you an autograph!" he said as he turned and made his way across the room. I was in slight panic mode as I saw him walk and actually get in the line that had now formed for autographs and pictures. I watched as Jay confidently walked up to them, I hid my eyes as I could hear Jay speaking to them, I glanced over to see what was happening, as I watched all 5 men huddled around Jay as he was talking lively with them. I hid my face in my hands, and waited for the report from Jay when he got back.
Moments later, I heard the familiar voice of Jay speak "Here ya go, 5 fresh autographs". I slowly looked up as Jay handed me the autographed program, I glanced at the autographs as I asked "They didn't say anything?" Jay smiled as he spoke "Nope, they were nice guys though". I sighed with relief as I stood and enveloped Jay in a large hug, I felt his arms wrap around my waist tight. I thanked him for the autographs, when suddenly I felt my feet lift off the ground, I screamed as I felt Jay carry me. "I did promise them I'd make you meet them though" he spoke calmly as he carried me to the end of the line. He put my feet down on the floor, as I started panicked. I immediately tried to bolt, hearing Jay speak "No No No" as he grabbed me by the waist and pulled me closer to his body. His arms holding me tight as I rest my hands over his arms. I struggled to get free, when I heard Jay whisper "Calm Down" I nodded my head, as I whispered back sternly "I don't want to do this." Jay laughed loudly, as he spoke "Don't lie Lily, you're not good at it" I turned my head back to look at Jay's face when I saw the smirk on his face, his arms still wrapped around my waist tight. Before I could argue I heard a voice speak "Next…"
