Guilty Pleasure

The Gas Lamp was our thing, our place. Sure the guys had taken over but they were on tour right now and the place was ours. We head straight for the bar. Nikki was distracted pouring drinks, it was too easy. She quietly walks up behind him and whispers in his ear J:"So what does a girl have to do around here to get a guy and a drink?" He almost jumps out of his skin at the sound of her voice Nikki:"Just talk dirty to me baby, you're wish is my command...." He turns to face her ".....What are you doing here, it's been too long" he kisses her cheek and pulls her in for a hug. J:"Nina invited me and I couldn't resist" Nikki:"You broke my heart when you left"J:"Ah I'm sorry love did it hurt much?" Nikki laughed "Bitch!, I've really missed you though" J:"Missed you too. How about some drinks" Nikki:"You got it beautiful go take a seat in the VIP lounge I'll have Nessa take them over she's gonna flip when she sees you" to me "Hey mama how are you? How are my boys???" Me:"Oh now you see me, now you say Hi" Nikki:"My Jewel's back can you blame me?" Me:"No I guess not, I'm good and they're great they're having the time of their lives, we're meeting them in Vegas on Monday." Nikki:"Sweet! Wait you're going Jewels? J:"Of course" he saddened a little J:"Don't look so glum I'll be back after Vegas." His face lit up again Nikki:"I'll get your drinks ready" we said our thank you's and went to find a table at the VIP lounge

J:"Wow this place hasn't changed." Me:"Neither has Nikki, after all this time he still has it bad for you" J:"I noticed, poor thing. I've got my sights set on a hotter, sexier fish!" We both laughed, she comes to the table and drops of our drinks Nessa:"Here you are ladies two kamikazes and two scorpion's kisses...............No...........freakin...........way!!!!" J:"What's the matter skank cat caught your tongue?" N:"Oh my God Julie!!!!!!" Nessa squeals with delight and they hug "What are you doing here?" J:"Came to visit my girl" Nessa:"Hey sweetie how are you?" Deja vu Me:"Now you see me, I'm fine sweetheart" Nessa:"OMG! I need a drink, we need to toast. I'll be back" J:"Somethings never change huh?" Me:"Nope!" I knew I shouldn't be drinking but Julie was here and it was like old times, I didn't want to ruin the fun. We start on our mixed drinks while we wait for Nessa I look at the stage and get lost in my memories. J:"You ok Love Bug? Me:"Hmm yeah, it's just...... this is where I was the first time I saw Jared" J:"You really miss him don't you?" Me:"Yeah! These last two weeks have been unbearable that's why I'm glad you're here" J:"Ah sweetheart, happy to be here for you. Just a couple more days and you'll be back in his arms." Me:"Thanks love bug" J:"Come on let's dance" Me:"Ok"

It isn't long before Nessa joins us on the dance floor, N:"Alright! Let's get this party started" she hands us our shots and makes a toast N:"To good friends, good times and to my two best girls in the world. Glad to have you back bitches" Me:"Glad to be back, skank" Julie starts to tear up J:"Now it really feels like home, I really missed my bitches" we clink our shot glasses and drink up, the kamikazes taste great but the alcohol feels heavy on my stomach, we continue to dance and enjoy our little reunion. Some random guys even come up to us and start getting friendly. The guy I was dancing with was wearing some cheap ass cologne the strong scent made my stomach feel worse. A few minutes later my stomach turned. Him:"You ok sweetheart you don't look so good" Me:"I'm sorry I ........... Oh shit! I'm sorry!" I ran to the bathroom he tapped Julie on the shoulder Him:"Excuse me Sweetheart but I don't your friend is feeling to good" J:"Where is she?" Him:"Bathroom I think" J:"Thanks, Nessa! It's Nina!" They apologize to their companions and run to the bathroom. I just made it, I threw up everything I ate today and last nights dinner I think. J:"Oh shit! Nina, love bug you ok:" I felt so sick to my stomach N:"Baby girl you ok" I come out of the stall looking pale as hell Me:"I think you can call the coroner now" I rinse my mouth out in the sink. J:"You're usually not such a lite weight what wrong?" Me:"Hell if I know I'm sure it's nothing......" I go back into the stall and throw up again. There went yesterday lunch and breakfast. N:"Nina, you can out drink us both without a problem, what's wrong baby? This is so not like you" I come back out and rinse my mouth again Me:"Fuck the coroner just call the cemetery" J:"Nessa's right Love Bug what's going on? Me:"I've been nauseated and lightheaded for the past few weeks" J:"Nina why didn't you say anything" Me:"You just got back I didn't want to spoil the fun" J:"Sweetheart you're like a sister to me, you come first, you know that right?" Me:"Yeah I'm sorry" N:"Does Jared know?" Me:"Yeah I collapsed in New York I have a doctors appointment after Vegas" N:"Oh my God baby doll are sure your ok? ..... Wait.....you don't think you're pregnant?" There's that word again Me:"Truth? I don't know, I mean according to my symptoms I might be but......Jared .......we've been careful. I mean its unlikely" J:"But accidents do happened love bug" N:"OMG you and McHotnSexy, that's sweet!" J:"Mc what???" Me:"That's what she calls Jared and Shannon is McSexy" J:"Oh really? Well hands off McSexy, he's mine" N:"Not you too? I really hate you two! So when did you and Shannon happen?" Me:"Its a work in progress they're meeting up in Vegas" N:"You lucky bitch! You won't be disappointed I promise" she gives us a mischievous smile. Julie raises an eyebrow I gasp in shock M:"You bitch!!! When?????" N:"The night you swapped him for his brother" so I am payback for Lea Me:"Oh! So how was he?" N:"He was... He was........" Either I'm really transparent or she was really honest! "Ok I probably got as far as you did!" Me:"Wait what???? So you didn't sleep with him?" N:"Not exactly" J:"Don't tell me has a little blue pill issue!!! Or have you lost your touch baby girl?" N:"No and No! Actually he was still hung up on some bitch who broke his heart!" Me:"Oh wow!!!! Sorry about that" So if I'm not payback than what am I Shannon? I'm so confused, this thing between us is it just curiosity, unfinished business or are we to children wanting a toy only because we saw it first. J:"You ok love bug?" Me:" Yeah I'm fine love, maybe we should just call it a night" N:"I think so too. Take care of you doll" Me:"Thank you sweetie I will, I'm sorry for ruining the night Jewels" she hugs me J:"No baby girl don't be, you have nothing to be sorry about". We decided to meet with Nessa for lunch tomorrow at the promenade.

Julie was quiet on the way home Me:"You ok Love Bug????" J:"Can I ask you something?" Me:"Anything" J:"Do you still have feelings for Shannon?" Oh wow I guess I saw that one coming. Me:"I'm in love with Jared! I love Jared" J:"That still doesn't answer my question, I mean what's the point of starting a relationship with him if I'm always going to have to compete with you" Me:"No! I....... I mean things are, feel a little unfinished but No! You two would be perfect together. You haven't even met him and you're already giving him up." J:"I'm not giving him up. It's just......" Me:"He'll love you I know he will" she smiled and a tear left her eye, there was no denying it she loved him already. We decided on a Twilight movie night in my room, it was like the sleepovers we used to have as kids only better. We had crepes and tea, when my stomach finally settled I even had some kettle corn. I fell asleep half way through the second movie, Julie cleared out the food, turned off the tv and went to her room. She took a warm shower got under the covers and fell asleep.

Hours later her eyes flutter open he's standing at the window looking at the lights of the city below. He looks at her and smiles as he walks back to the bed S:"I'm sorry did I wake my love" It cannot be, how is this possible? J:"Shannon" he drops his pajamas pants and get into bed with her, only now does she realize her body is bare. The feel of his bare skin on hers is intoxicating,he kisses her lips softly as his fingers gently dance on her skin. He pulls her body close as his lips travel from her jawline to her neck and lower still. He gently caresses her breast as he takes her nipple in his mouth she moans in pleasure, she runs her fingers through his hair as she enjoys his touch. He moves to her other breast and his hands tilt her hips S:"You want me baby?" J:"Come to me Shannon" he moves up and comes into her rocking her hips over and over again. Slowly at first then faster and faster, he devours her lips and she moans into him in pleasure speeds up his pace he's so close so is she. He growls in pleasure turning her on more S:"Mmmm......Not yet baby" and he slows down his pace. He kisses her lips her jawline her neck and lower still to her breast, he slowly rocks her hips making her want more she moans his name over and over again. He slowly pulls out making her body arch to the last of his touch. His lips travels lower still he tilts her hips and devours her sweet spot sending her body into a frenzy she moans in pleasure as her body shakes trying to keep him in place. She can't breathe J:"Aah...........mmmm.......... Shannon .......... Shannon"He slowly makes his way back up to her breast he enters her again and rides her at a slow pace driving her insane. He speeds up as he devours her lips and they moan in pleasure till they come together. J:"I love you Shannon, so much" S:"I love you more my Jewel" exhausted and content they fall asleep in each other's arms. She's drifting off to sleep and her eyes flutter open she reaches for him buts he's gone "Shannon!... Shannon!!!" She sits up and looks at the window her heart is pounding. She can still feel his lips on her skin, his touch on her body. She closes her eyes and whispers his name. In a hotel room in Dallas he wakes from a restless sleep drenched it sweat, he can still feel her lips on his skin, the feel of body underneath his finger tips. Her hazel eyes, her sweet smile so familiar to him. He closes his eyes, gets lost in her memory and whispers her name "Julie".
