More Than What You See

First Impression

When Nina told me that she really wanted to go to the small intimate show but couldn't get tickets, I just knew that I had to intervene to enable her to go. Hearing how much she enjoyed and loved seeing them, I knew how sad she was. We might have dated for a while years ago but she's one of the most important people in my life. She's always been there for me, even stood by me when I came out as bisexual and some people who I cared about couldn't accept me. She did. She stayed by my side and has been ever since.
From our many conversations over the years about the New Kids, and there's been a lot, trust me, I knew that Jon Knight is gay and I found myself checking him out on Nina's vlog and photos. I was curious to see what he was like in person. Also for Nina to see her 'beloved' Jordan again, whom I'm intrigued with because of what she said about him to me.
I wasn't sure how to even try and arrange for her to see them so I DM'd Jon on his Instagram. I explained who I was and why I was DM'ing him. He knew who I was talking about with regards to Nina as he's been really lovely towards her. I told him that it was okay if he couldn't do anything and that I'd understand so that he didn't feel pressured.

Thankfully, he was more than happy to help arrange something. He let it slip that Jordan was actually smitten with Nina although he wouldn't admit it without a gentle push. I can see why Nina likes Jon, he's so easy to talk to and laid back.
When Jon contacted me to let me know that Nina and I were going to be their vip guests, it was so hard to contain my excitement. Thank goodness I was at my place and not at Nina's because I may not have been able to keep it a secret. It's going to be a surprise for her. What fun it's been getting everything set up and I can't believe it's the day. Later on, we'll be seeing the New Kids!
Feeling a little nervous, I decide to have a drink to soothe my nerves. I'm not religious but I'm praying that everything will go smoothly tonight. I wasn't sure what to wear, normally I'm the first to put an outfit together but not today it seems. I want to give a good first impression, especially to Jon. Feeling satisfied with my outfit and having the bit of a beard. Nina has always said I look hotter with facial hair so if she thinks that, hopefully Jon will be impressed too. Some people say I look like that Ian Somerhalder which is a great compliment but I'm me although it has at times helped me pick up dates. Not that I tell Nina how many people I've dated because I don't want her to put herself down, she struggles with her self image. She thinks people only see her disability and not her, but she's more than that. I think she is a hot girl and beautiful, I make sure to tell her but before you say anything, we did date but we weren't 'in love' with each other. Guys and girls all think Ian is sexy so I can't complain. If I didn't look so much like him, I'd say he's hot but I'm not that vain. Grabbing my phone, wallet, tickets and mints, I lock up and head to Nina's place.
After about half an hour of being at Nina's, I order to get ready because I'm taking her out.

I told her to pick something cute to wear. I'm having to be careful to not say too much and I feel awful for being so vague with her but hopefully she'll understand once she knows. She jokes about me taking her on a date to which I laugh, it's not a date but it's a date she'll never forget! She comes out of her room now ready... wow! Jordan is gonna lose it when he sees her.

My phone bleeps and Nina is trying her hardest to get something out of me so I just laser focus on communicating with Jon about tonight's plans. Her getting anxious because she's not aware of anything is making me feel more nervous but somehow I manage to hide it.
I have to stifle myself from laughing looking at her cute face because I'd feel mean. Just you wait girl, you're not gonna know what's hit ya until you see the guys, I muse to myself. We're greeted by a big guy dressed up and he lets us inside the theatre. Looking at Nina, if she was confused before, I can't imagine what will be going through her mind right now. I'm actually curious to see who will come out first but I imagine it'll be Jon seeing as he's the one who has been sorting this out for us.
I don't know who saw who first but Jon comes through the door with a smile on his face. Even though I've never met him before, it kind of feels like we already know each other. Maybe that's just how he is, or something between us, I'm not sure. Damn I've never met anyone who takes my breath away, his face is so handsome. Scrap that. He's absolutely freaking sex on legs! I can feel myself shaking as he shakes my hand. God I hope he doesn't notice the shakiness, I don't want him to think I'm some sort of dummy. Jon invites us further backstage where one by one, we're greeted by the other New Kids. I notice Nina trying to hide her frown because Jordan has yet to show his face. He better bloody show his face or I'll be saying something but not in front of Nina, I don't want to scare her. I try to use crude humour to lighten her spirits back up. She may get embarrassed and blushed easily, but she certainly has a dirty mind. After what seemed like an eternity, even though it's only been minutes, Jordan finally appears by his brother's side, obviously happy to see Nina. I watch how Nina's face is beaming especially as he goes to hug her and kiss her on the cheek.
A few moments later, the guy's manager comes to call them up to finish getting ready for the show, I notice the death glare from Jordan as he watches the interaction between me and Nina. Does he think me and Nina are more than just friends, is he jealous, I ask myself. Damn. Well, Jordan, if only you knew mate.
