Guilty Pleasure

Page 32

New York has been amazing and hectic the guys are enjoying every second of their new found fame. They're on stage doing a final sound check before the concert tonight and Emma's making sure everything is taken care of on and off stage. While I'm in Jared's dressing room answering e-mails and confirming things for Miami. I was feeling exhausted but other wise good. My phone goes off it's one of the radio stations wanting to confirm their interview with the band, another e-mail another call. I feel so exhausted I decide to take a break and go for a walk.

I run into Shannon in the hallway S:"Hey babe you ok? You don't look so good" Me:"Yeah I'm fine, is sound check over?" S:"Almost, just taking a quick break while Jared talks shop with the venue rep" Me:"Same here, taking a break I mean. Is it hot in here or is it just me?" S:"Sorry must be the sweat" I wasn't referring to that but Me:"Really, Shannon" his chest was glistening with sweat, ah hell, I can't. He goes into his dressing room and towels off the sweat, how am I suppose to work with them on the road if the sight of Shannon shirtless and sweaty makes me weak at the knees. S:"You sure you're ok, sweetie you don't look so good" Me:"I'm fine, really but thank you for worrying" Damn it Shannon put a shirt on! I start breaking out into a light sweat. S:"Here have some water" Me:"Thanks babe" I drink a third of the bottle and it offers some relief. S:"Come here" he pulls me into his arms S:"I just want you to be ok." He kisses my forehead and the tip of my nose. He rests his forehead on mine, having his body this close is getting to me. I try to break free of him S:"Please don't Nina, I need you" Me:"Shannon please" he devours my lips and pulls me into the dressing room and closes the door behind us. Ah fuck I want him, he trails kisses down my neck to my chest and back up again. I kiss his shoulder, his neck the tattoo behind his ear. I devour his lips again Me:"Shannon this is insane" he searches my eyes S:"I know it is.... I can't help myself around you. I can't stop this Nina, I don't want to" Me:"Shannon......please....." My body's giving out, I'm so lightheaded I try to hold on to him but my knees buckle. S:"Nina!, what's wrong baby? Oh shit!!!! Nina! NINA!!!!!" I've lost consciousness, he lays me gently on the couch and runs to get Jared. He runs into Emma in the hallway. "Emma go get Jared it's Nina!" E:"What happened? Is she ok???" S:"I don't know we were talking and she collapsed, I'm scared Emma please go get Jared" E:"Where is she?" S:"In Jared's dressing room, just go get him please, hurry!!!" Emma runs to get Jared. While Shannon comes back to me, I'm still out he scoops me up and takes me to Jared's dressing room. S:" Come on baby , come on, come back to me please"

Emma finds Jared on the stage she calls to him, she must of looked pale and scared shitless J:"What happened????" E:"It's Nina! She......" he didn't even let her finish and he just ran toward the dressing rooms. T:"Emma What happened????" E:"Nina collapsed" T:"Oh Shit!!!" He runs after Jared and Emma follows. Jared gets to his dressing room, J:"Nina! Baby I'm here" he drops to his knees at my side, to Shannon "What happened? Whats wrong with her??" S:"I ran into her in the hall, she didn't look right. We were talking and I caught her mid fall" he turns to me again "Baby can you hear me, please wake up sweet angel" his eyes fill with tears and he kisses my lips "Please baby, please come back to me" I start to come around and moan Jared's name J:"Im right here baby, I'm right here" T:"How is she? S:"She's coming around" Tomo gives Shannon's shoulder a gentle squeeze. Emma brings me a bottle of cold water "Hey sweetie you ok?" She sounds muffled and looks like a pretty blur. Me:"Em?" E:"You feeling better Honey?" Me:"I will be as soon as your twin goes away" they all laughed, I try to focus on Jared, tears are falling from his beautiful blue eyes. Me:"Why are you crying baby?" I reach to touch his beautiful face J:"You scared me, love" Me:"I'm sorry baby I didn't mean to" he kisses my lips. S:"You had us all scared sweetie" he'd been crying too. Me:" I'm fine, really...... I'm fine" Emma handed me the water E:" How long have you been sick? Have you seen a doctor?" Me:"Not long, and I'm sure it's nothing, I'll see a doctor when I get back to L.A. I promise." J:"Baby why didn't you say anything?" Me:"Because I didn't want to worry you" I sit up and he sits next me and I lean on his chest. J:"It's my job to take care of you love" Me:"I love you, so much" J:"I love you more. I'd die if anything happened to you, don't you know that?" I kiss his lips tenderly Me:"I do baby, it's just you have so much on your plate already." J:"Not that much baby, you come first, there is no me without you" my heart swells with love for this beautiful soul. I reach for his lips Me:"And you are my life, my love, my everything" E:"Jared showtime is in a few hours why don't I take care of Nina while you guys get ready for the show" J:"No, I'm not leaving you" Me:"Baby, you're not missing the show.....J:"Nina....." I put my finger on his lips, Me:"Ssh you've work too long and too hard to give this up. I'm feeling much better, I'll be fine I promise, go have fun Emma will take care of me" Jared looked at me then at Shannon, he seemed to be asking him what he should do. Shannon nodded with tear filled eyes and Jared searched my eyes before he spoke again J:"ok......ok, but promise me you'll be ok." I nod yes and kiss his lips and he hugs me tightly. To Emma J"Take care of her, if anything happens come and get me. I mean it Emma I don't care if I'm the middle of song you come get me" E:"You got it J, just make sure you let you're bodyguards know I wouldn't want them to think I'm jumping on stage cause I'm trying to rape you" we all laugh at that Me:"Yeah baby, raping you is my job" Jared smiles and devours my lips.... Shannon and Tomo look at each other and they both say "Get a room!!!!" We both laugh at that J:"Last time I checked this IS my room, so if you don't mind can you give us so privacy" he goes for my lips Me:"Mmm.....As much as I would love to rape you right now, you have a show to put on" E:"come on guys let's go back to the hotel so you can freshen up and get back for the show" we all get our stuff together and head back to the hotel.
