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

Chapter 27: Bittersweet Moments

"I can't believe this! I'm actually here inside the dressing room where Jordan, Joe, Jon, Donnie and Danny hang out before their concert! And I'm sitting on the same couch where each of them sat as well! Steph, you are seriously the luckiest girl in the world! I...I'm doing it again aren't I?" Anne's excitement quickly took a backseat, pausing herself with a look of regret on her face. I knew she couldn't help herself from gushing over the guys and I didn't blame her because of it.

"Yes, you are but it's okay, Anne. I've done the same thing the first time I joined them on tour, Jordan thought it was cute the way I acted. Speaking of J, I noticed how his brother kept glancing at you the whole time. Jonathan couldn't keep his eyes off of you even when he was busy around the fans..." My lips widened after the words fell from my lips, her cheeks turned hot pink from embarrassment.

"Shut up..." Anne spoke out, trying to hide her smile but couldn't contain it as the two of us began to laugh.

"I'm serious, I think Jon really likes you and possibly a lot more than Tiffany, Anne." I told her sincerely, Jon was attracted to my best friend. Anne bit the bottom of her lip in response.

"I really like him too and you know it's not because he's famous. There's just so much we have in common and every time I see him or hear his name I get this strange feeling inside. If you ever marry Jordan, which I know you will and if I ever marry Jonathan, the two of us can be sister in-laws." She let out as I smiled at the idea except deep down I wasn't sure if I would end up with Jordan forever. I'm not doubting myself, I do love Jordan but with his career as a New Kid and selling out concerts all over the world, I'm not convinced he's thought about marriage or anything along the lines of settling down. Maybe I really am doubting myself.

"Yeah, that would be pretty cool." I looked away from her staring blankly at my shoes as the both of us heard the door opening suddenly and screams of girls echoed in our ears. Once the fanfare died down after the door closed and voices of laughter filled the air, we came across the guys who instantly put a smile on our faces. Jordan's chocolate eyes set off a spark once I caught his attention and looked at me with a wide grin as neither of us had to hide our relationship now.

"Hi." He spoke out to me, now standing in front of me as I continued to stare at his wonderful gaze.

"Hello." I responded back to him, playing along to his game while trying to contain my excitement.

"Anne, do you mind if I borrow her?" Jordan looked over at my best friend, who couldn't resist smiling back at the man who could never fail to make any girl smile with his handsome charms.

"Go right ahead." She turned her eyes back on me and winked as I grinned at her. Jordan soon extended out his hand for me and after gladly accepting it, he pulled me up on my feet as I noticed the mischievous look in his eyes.

"Come on." Jordan let out, pulling me away from our friends as I heard Joey's voice in the background.

"Play it safe, Lovebirds!"

"Don't take so long, J! Remember we have to get on the bus soon and it would be nice to spend some time with Steph before we go!" Jon reminded his brother which made him crack a smirk as I softly laughed.

"Let him have some time with his girl, Jon. He knows when to get on the bus." Danny spoke to him while chuckling along with Joe. I turned to look over my shoulder, catching Danny's large contagious grin spreading along his face and then my eyes noticed the look on Donnie's face. He had a smile to let everyone know he was content, but it wasn't any smile I've seen before and it was as if he was hiding something inside as I felt a pang inside my chest.

'You know why he's hiding his emotions, girl...' I heard that voice speaking within my thoughts again, turning away from him not sure what to do.
