She never thought she'd have him come back in her life once again. But he had to when she took her new job working for a friend of his.
Holly Portor once was in love with Joey from NKOTB just like any other teen girl in the 80's. Now seeing him bac...

"Joey come with me. Forget Jordan. Come on let's celebrate this day. We have a lot to celebrate" I plead with Joey as I hold on his arm. Trying to keep Jordan and Joey from fighting in the hall.
"Fine! But this is far from over with Knight" warns Joey.
"Didn't figure it was" snaps Jordan.
"Jordan please....for me. No more" I beg him. Jordan's face softens as he nods.
"Fine" he mutters. I lead Joey away from the group. We head into my room for more privacy.
"I don't want you working for him any more" Joey suddenly demands.
"What?" I stammer.
"You heard me Holly. If you want to be with me you better quite working for that ass" warns Joey.
"Joey come on. Forget what happened tonight. Calm down. We can talk about this like adults in the morning" I plead. Joey's face. He was so mad. I never had saw him this upset before. So tensed up.
"Joey" I whisper softly. "You are the one I have always wanted to be with. Forget him"
"I am sorry. He was supposed to be my best friend. What kind of friend goes after the woman his best friend loves? He is a snake" snaps Joey. I pull him in my arms. Trying my best to calm him down.
"Joey we are together now. We have a lot of time to make up for. Why not start now. If you are upset all night Jordan wants that. You are giving him what he wanted" I point out.
"Alright" he sighs. "You are right"
"I know I am right" I say. I lean in and kiss him. He had a cut on his lip where Jordan slugged him one.
"Ouch" he winces in pain.
"Joe come here" I sigh. I smile. I had ice in the ice bucket for drinks earlier. I get a napkin out. Wrap up some ice in the napkin. I place it on Joey's cut. He softens as he smiles my way.
"I am happy we made it back together" he tells me.
"Me to" I say happily. "When I came here I was dreading it. I thought you were still happily married"
"Nope. I never was happily married. I never got over you. I tried to basically replace you. It did not work. She was not the one I wanted. She was never going to be you" he says softly making my heart melt.
"I felt the same way Joey" I admit. "I could never get over you"
"I am glad you didn't" he tells me as he touches my cheek with his hand. I smile. I could see how much love he had for me in his eyes.
"I am sorry for fighting. Now I am a bit sore tonight to do anything" he sighs.
"We have so much time. We should go on a real date. Get reconnected. Have a romantic night in. Like we always dreamed of" I say happily.
"I like that idea. I will make it the night of your dreams" he vows.
"I can hardly wait" I say.
"Can I stay with you tonight? I don't want to go to my room alone" he asks me.
"Of course you can stay here" I say.
"Snuggle up with me all night long. How does that sound?" he asks me.
"Like paradise" I giggle. He grins. He kisses me.
Later that night he went to get his things from his room.
He kept them in my room. I was pleased about that. Then we snuggled in bed. Watching tv. Chatting away. Like old times. Almost like things never had changed between us. It was a good thing we had connected so fast here. I was so excited I could hardly fall asleep. Joey fell asleep before me that night. Laying on my shoulder while I held him. I just kept watching him sleep. So peaceful. He even had a smile on his face as he slept. I gently ran my fingers in his soft curly hair. Kissed him on the forehead before falling asleep.
"I love you Holly" I hear him whisper. I thought he had been asleep. I smile brightly. Drinking in all his warmth that was coming off his body heat to mine.
"I love you to Joey. I always have" I promise. We fell asleep like that. The next morning when I woke Joey was in the shower already getting ready to perform. I yawn as I roll over in bed. I stretch feeling utter joy inside of me. I smile ready to enjoy the new day. I hoped Joey and Jordan could forgive each other and work past all this mess. I get a text from Jordan.
Call me now, Jordan.
I do as the boss asks me to do.
"Hey I can't stay on the phone long. Joey will be out of the shower" I warn him.
"So are you forbidden to talk to me now?" grumbles Jordan.
"Sort of. He wanted me to quit working for you all together. I had to calm him down last night" I explain to him.
"Well screw him! We had a deal Holly! Before all this mess. I really need your help" mutters Jordan.
"I did not say I quit. I said he wanted me to" I remind Jordan.
"Well are you going to?" worries Jordan.
"No, let me smooth things over with Joey first okay? Then I will work for you again. I promise boss" I vow.
"Fine. I don't like it but fine. You are a big girl. He can't tell you whom to be friends with or whom is your boss" says Jordan sternly.
"I know this. He is just feeling insecure is all. Let me deal with Joey" I demand.
"Fine. Call me when you have time" sighs Jordan.
"I am still your friend Jordan. You can't get rid of me that easily okay? Do not worry" I say.
"Alright. Talk to you soon" he says before hanging up.
I sigh. I hoped Joey and Jordan could work out their differences. I was not sure things could be fixed. Joey soon comes out of the bathroom. Drying his hair with a towel. He comes in wearing nothing but a towel. I swear my eyes were going to pop out of my head. Wow. He got better looking with age. If not better.
"Did I miss a spot?" he jokes. I shake my head no.
"Not at all Joey. You look amazing" I say softly.
"Why thank you beautiful" he says as he smiles happily at me. He leans in and kisses me. His body was warm from the shower. My hand rests on his bare chest. My heart races faster. He kisses me faster. Hungrily. He smelled so nice and soapy.
"I better stop. Or I can't quit" he laughs.
"Me either" I giggle shyly. He kisses me once more.
"We will have one amazing night Holly. You and me. I can't wait to plan this date" he tells me happily.
"I can't wait either" I say.
I sigh.
"Something wrong Holly?" he wonders.
"No nothing at all" I say. He grins.
"Good. Get dressed. We have enough time to have breakfast together before I have to go to practice" he says. I nod.
"You got it" I tell him.
I sigh. I had something to tell Joe. I was a virgin. I waited for Joey when I was younger. I never had anyone compared to him. I never was able to get close to a man before. What would Joey think of a thirty year old something virgin? He was bound to laugh at me. Should I tell him? Or not at all? Just wing it? I was in a mess.
