Baby, I Believe in You [Jordan Knight • NKOTB]

Chapter 14: Lingering Kiss

Hi! I'm really sorry that I haven't updated in over a month. I was really sick and I'm feeling a lot better now so hopefully I can get back into my writing groove :)

Here's the latest chapter and I tried to come up with a good title for this chapter so I hope it fits well.

Throughout the entire concert held in Lake Placid on this unforgettable night was truly outrageous. My coffee colored irises never left the stage as the special effects team really outdid themselves decorating the show with colorful laser lights, loud explosions, and wonderful magic tricks performed by the New Kids as this was the Magic Summer Tour. Hearing the guys singing and dancing to their music within the venue sent a rush of excitement throughout my entire body as I enjoyed seeing them right there on the large stage and truly shining in front of their adoring fans.

As the concert continued to roll on, I had to admit that most of the time my eyes couldn't stop staring at Jordan, who stood at center among the group and easily hypnotized me with his stunning movements while his voice lost me in a dreamy trance. Then when I thought the man couldn't be any more amazing, he proved me wrong in the best way possible. In one part of the show, the lights suddenly went out as the place grew dark for a few seconds until a single light focused on one solo New Kid with his head down and dressed in a white collared dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up and the shirt completely unbuttoned revealing his bare chiseled torso and black slacks. In that moment I knew it was Jordan as the cries of the girls surrounding me were able to scream a pitch higher and the music began to play to the notes of "Baby, I Believe in You".

There were also high powered fans hidden below parts of the stage as Jordan's hair and clothes blew freely throughout the whole performance as the sight of his exposed chest and fine abs made my heart drum faster while he moved to the rhythm of the music. There was a moment that I hated him for the way he was making me feel but it quickly subsided as I couldn't stay mad at him for this and part of me felt like he knew. During his performance and throughout most of the concert, Jordan would move towards to where I stood within the front row and the girls around me instantly began to throw themselves at him trying to get his attention. Yet those gorgeous brown eyes of his only had their sight on me and that loving genuine smile widely formed on his kissable lips couldn't stop the warm grin appearing on my face. Jordan even grasped my hand at one moment within the raging sea of girls and took a risk as he laid his soft lips against the back of my hand causing the girls around me to scream in jealously while my heart became thrilled.

As I was serenaded by the presence of my boyfriend up there on stage, there were certain moments when all of my attention wasn't purely focused on Jordan and my eyes slowly linger towards the direction of Donnie. At first there were small gestures I caught him doing which included him walking or jogging down the stage before stopping purposely in front of me with both of our eyes meeting one another and resulted in Donnie giving me a wide grin which made it hard to resist as I smiled back before he joined the rest of the group. He did this several times and I didn't think too much about it as I know he loved to make me smile and he could tell I was having a really fun time at their show and also Jonathan, Joe and Danny would smile at me from the stage too so it wasn't anything out of the ordinary or so I thought. When the next number was Donnie's solo song Stay with Me Baby, there was one point during the second verse that Donnie walked along the edge of the stage eyeing at the girls screaming for him to notice them within the first row and he did noticed them but once again his hazel eyes found mine as I caught the smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth.

This handsome man paused at the edge of the stage and leaned forwarded with his arm extending out for me to reach it and easily grasped onto my hand tight. In that one second, something within me made my heart jump as a warm tingling sensation began to brew inside my stomach and it began to grow stronger while two of us moved softly to the sounds of the Reggae beat. When Donnie finished singing his verse to me and the bridge was about to begin, he leaned in further and surprised me with a warm kiss against the left side of my cheek before leaving me standing there slightly stunned. Out of all the times Donnie has kissed me in a friendly manner, this one felt completely different to me and for the first time gave me a strange sensation inside me that was hard to describe. I continued to keep my attention at the concert trying to ignore the feeling despite the warm touch where he kissed me still lingering on.

As the concert had finished and the backstage festivities were done, I arrived back to the hotel with the Knight Brothers after being dropped off in their limo as we were going to gather all of belongings once more and step back onto the bus to head to the New Kids next destination, Saratoga Springs, New York. None of us wasted any time are Jordan and I packed our suitcases and headed out of the suite as he offered to carried my two bags but I declined his offer because I felt bad at the thought of him carrying too much luggage even though he could handle it and tried to let me take his offer but he knew I was too nice and easily I gave in to him.

After the two of us reached the bus, somehow my eyes found their way towards the sight of Donnie who was casually leaning against the side of the bus where he, Danny and Joey shared. Donnie's warm hazel eyes glanced in my direction as his lips formed a warm grin before I boarded on the bus with Jordan holding my hand ahead of me and smiled back seeing something odd flickering inside his eyes.

'You'll find out soon enough.' Once again, the voice echoed in my head and I decided not to listen to its nonsense as I entered the warmth of the bus.

Jordan pulled me into compact bedroom we shared on the bus and turned on the stereo to listen to the soft music playing on the radio tonight before the two of us collapsed on the bed. My fingers ran through Jordan's soft brown locks as I started to tell him how much I really enjoyed the concert tonight and also his performance during "Baby, I Believe in You" which easily made the smile on his face widen.

"Well, the look on your face surely made me knew that you did and I loved it. During that part of show, I did it all for you, baby and you're going to see more of it too on this tour and when we're alone..." Suddenly, I could feel the burning heat rising against my cheeks while my heart paused instantly at the sound of his words. Jordan stared at me with a large white grin spreading along his mouth as pulled me closer to him while my body easily produced chills and goosebumps all around me. Even though he knew we were going to wait to step further into our relationship, he knew how to make me melt and damn him for being too hard to resist.

"Jordan..." I could barely speak as he left me breathless which only let my mind running carelessly with thousands of uncleaned thoughts.

"Don't worry, I'm a gentleman with you, baby." He softly whispered out to me and placed his warm lips against mine before we pulled apart and felt his left hand stroking the hot side of my face brushing the same spot where D's lips stained my skin.

I hope all of you reading enjoyed this chapter. I'm sort of in a funk after being sick so I promise the next chapters will be better.

As you also read the next chapter will be the New Kids and Stephanie going to Saratoga and I'm including the incident involving Donnie with the trapdoor.

Love you all!
