Legal stuff, you know the deal. If you're under 18 don't read even though I haven't added any sex into this. But it does deal with homosexual relationships. I'm also not saying the Kevin Richardson is homosexual granted myself and a lot of other guys wouldn't mind if he is. He isn't so him loss you know.
First off, I have to say sorry for my god awful spelling and grammar of late. I don't know what to say but sorry. Anyway who cares right, its only words on a computer screen. It's not like its going to be around for all time in reprint and what not. Second, thanks for the emails everyone, I have had fun reading them, if I haven't gotten back to you, I will soon. I hope, after I get a real nights sleep. Okay well on with why you all are here. The Story, so enjoy.
Fear of the written word Chapter three
By the time we get to my house it was about 3 in the morning. It took us about an hour to get to my place. Which was crazy, normally that walk takes like 15 minutes. But being that it was Friday night at 2 in the morning when we walked through there, we got hit with all the collage students, bar hoppers, club runners, and weekend party goers from Virginia. It was a mad house to say the least. I didn't remember seeing all the bars there last week. But then again I have been living in a self-pity party for a few months now. Well getting back on track we made it to my house and Michelle was showing AJ where he could sleep. While I got right on the phone with my insurance company. I told them that I would meet a rep at my car tomorrow around 9 in the morning. They knew Georgetown like I did; you try not to travel in or around this city by car this late at night. Finishing up the call I turn to the kitchen to get something to drink. About 3 feet from the door I hear Michelle and AJ talking.
"Do you think they will hook up." Asked the one voice, it sounded like Michelle's.
"It would be nice, Kevin has been on your asses for weeks now. His boyfriend broke up with him about 6 months ago, so as you can guess he's still moody about it."
"How long where they together. If you don't mind my asking." There was silence before AJ started talking again.
"Nah I don't mind, but you can't tell anyone what we talk about tonight. Okay."
"Yeah sure AJ.... Dave might be a lot of things but he is no snoop. As long as I have known him, he has been a very sweet guy. A little weird but really sweet, he can't hurt a fly with out feeling sorry for the bug. At times it can be a real pain. But yet it shows that he cares you know. David and myself or trust worthy, he won't tell what he found out tonight and know that I won't either." I couldn't hear or see anything but in that silence I knew volumes where spoken in body language. I start walking back into the room.
"Hey guys, what you talking about?" I say walking over to the fridge for something to drink.
"Oh nothing really." Replies Michelle.
"You don't have to hide what you're thinking from me. I can handle it, I know your talking about Kevin and myself." I say looking back and forth between the two of them. Stopping on AJ, I stare into his eyes and shake my head. "AJ... I can say this; with out a shadow of fear or self-doubt, I like Kevin. I like him a lot. I can dream... no I can envision him doing things to my body that only 4 other men have done to me. Sexually, god he is one, but I don't know him emotionally. You know, I don't know what makes him tick and even though I would like to be one to learn this, all three of us know that this wont happen. I won't write a article about what I know, you can trust me on that." I turn and face Michelle now and finish my speech. "I might be a reporter, but I'm a human being first. Now if I found out that one of you guys slept with a 12 year old oh lord child I would all over that story like white on rice. But you guys haven't....... have you?" he shakes his head no. "I though as much, anyway what Kevin choose to do with his life is his business, sexually and non-sexually. And at that I'm going to shut up cause I'm finally getting a headache." I say closing my eyes and pinching the bridge of my nose.
"Dai... I have to say thank you for tonight. You know you didn't have to do that. I could have taken the blame." Says AJ reaching over and taking one of my hands. I start to laugh.
"Oh AJ yes I did. We both know, that if you got arrested you would be in so much trouble. Besides now I can say you owe me and tell me how many people do you know can say that a Backstreet Boy owes them." I say leaning back in my chair and laughing.
"Anyway," he replies laughing, "But Dai really man thanks. As for me owing you, lets just say that I owe you my lif..."
"Oh hold up you don't owe me anything, I was playing man. If you want to owe me something, ill take just your friendship. That's all I ask, people can never do with out to many friends, ya know." I say standing up out of my chair. "Well kiddies, I'm off to bed I have to be up early to meet the insurance rep down at my car. So after I leave you can figure out how to get me and Kevin together and work out our little problem, okay." I say smiling at them, then I walk out of the room.
"Do you think he heard us?" asks AJ.
"Oh he heard us. He heard everything that we talked about. That was his way of telling us to get the two of them together in every sense of the word." She says turning to AJ and smiling.
"Then lets do this, they both deserves some happiness in their lives." He replies. They start to lie out a plan to get Kevin and myself together. As I get to my room I just stand in my doorway and stare out at my room. If this place could talk sometimes, I walk into my room and remove my shirt. Now like I said before I'm no god but I'm also not that bad looking, I can turn heads when I want to. Well I walk over to my bed and shed my shoes, socks, and finally my pants. Falling back on my bed I look up at the ceiling. Tracing the lines of the crown molding with my eyes. Soon I'm asleep and dreaming.
The next morning, I'm awoken by this god awful beeping BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP "Go away." I say pushing my alarm clock off the bedside table. SMASH "Okay, okay I'm up." I say to myself sitting up in my bed and looking around my room. "What time is it?" I yawn, scratching my chest I look down at the clock on the floor. "Oh fuck I'm going to be late." jumping off my bed and running towards my closet. "No time for a shower right now D, you have to go." I say pulling on some sweats and a sweatshirt, I grab a pair of socks and I'm out of my room and down the stairs 2 or 3 steps at a time. Running to the front door, I hear someone calling after me.
"Dai, where you off to?" I turn around and see AJ stare back at me; it takes a second for me to register that there was a strange man standing in my living room. Let alone a stranger in his boxers.
"Um, who are you?" I say looking at him.
"You're telling me that you already forgot about me... AJ?" the name strikes something in my but I cant place it. "How about Kevin?" That name visually shocked me. "I'm sorry David, I didn't mean to say his name I ju..."
"Don't worry about it AJ, you didn't register in my head. I knew you; I just couldn't place you. Now look I have to run down to my car so the insurance rep can look at it. If Michelle wakes up before I get back, tell her I'm out taking care of the car. If you guys want to go out to eat for breakfast cell me okay. I have my cell phone, here's my number." I say scratching it down on a piece of paper on the table next to the front door.
"Okay man, travel safely." He says smiling at me.
"Thanks see you later, peace." I say bolting out the door and jogging down to my car. It was cold that morning so I was glad I decided on the sweats. I wasn't much into sports at school, but don't get me wrong, I liked some sports, like soccer, I love soccer. I have year round tickets to DC United. All other sports are second to soccer. I can spend all day down on the ?????????? playing in a pick-up game of soccer. I've even met some of the guys from DC United playing there. Anyway as I get to my car I noticed that I was early, so it's not all that bad.
I walk into the building that owned the parking lot that my car was being held in. I start looking for the owner. "Can I talk to the owner please?" I say to this Britney Spears look alike only this girl was nicer looking. She goes off and gets the owner. Coming back a few minutes later with the owner in tow. I tell the own what happened and why my car was in his lot. I told him that most likely it will be there till Monday, cause my repair shop is closed on the weekends so they can get caught up on work. He said it was okay but the car has to be out of there no later then Tuesday. After I got that handled I grabbed a drink out of their cooler and went to wait for the insurance rep.
The woman from insurance company was right there at 9 like they said she was going to be. "Hi, my name is Jeri. I'll be the representative handling your case. Now I have a few questions for you. If you would follow me to my office." With that we walk over to her jeep. Which was set up like an office, the back had a computer in it with boxes of papers and a printer. She got in the drivers' seat and hit something. Her chair spun around and she was able to work on the computer back there. I'm thinking I want this car. Well she takes my statement; I give her all the information that the cop gave me, minus the detail about him trying to pick me up. "Well that's it, you can stay here while I take some pictures of the damage to the car for our records. I'll be right back." With that she ran the report, grabbed a digital camera and was out of the car in a flash. She's not gone 2 seconds and my cell starts to ring. I never look to see who is calling me. I just answer; it has lead to some mighty embarrassing phone calls.
"Captain Dave's seafood, you stake it we bake it. How may I direct your call?" I say into the food. I hear nothing on the other end. "Um hello, who are you looking for?"
"Um... you num nuts." Said AJ on the other end.
"Oh hey J, what you need man. Michelle tweaking your balls again." Again silence, this boy has to get out more. "I'm playing AJ, breath man."
"I know your playing, I'm just not used to people talking to me like that. Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah sure, always."
"How did you know she was tweaking my balls." It was my turn to be silent. "Got you."
"Bitch." I say laughing. "Anyway what you want man?"
"Well Michelle is in the shower right now. I need one also, but"
"You don't have any thing to wear. Go look in my closet, we look to be about the same size. If you need boxers, use the ones you have on. I don't let strange men in my boxers."
"That's not what Michelle says."
"Oh fuck you. Go get something to wear after your shower, are we going out to eat this morning?"
"Sure let's go my treat even."
"Cool if your paying I am there, with a bib on even." We laugh at that.
"Okay man I'm off to the shower, see you when you get back k."
"So'k, see you in a few man." We hang up. A few minutes later Jeri comes back. "Welcome back."
"Thanks. Okay the damage doesn't look that bad. I looked inside the engine, nothing in there looks broken or damaged. Mostly it all looks like body work. So what I'm going to do is, call the body shop that, fixed your front window, if that's okay with you," I shake my head yes. "They will also look to see if there is any internal damage to the car, so now we have all the bases covered. Now the fun part the signing of the paper work."
20 minutes later I was out of her car with my copies of the paper work and heading home for a shower. It was 11 when I got back to my place. Miss Winters what sitting out on her front steps again. "Hey baby, where's your car?" She screams across the street to me. I start walking across the street to talk to her. Reaching her front steps I sit down.
"I was in a accident last night on the way back from a car."
"Oh sugar are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm good.... I met someone last night."
"Really, where is he. Is he going to come over to lunch or dinner tonight?" she says firing off 20 questions.
"He doesn't like me, cause of my job." Look down at my hands.
"Well then he isn't worth your time or troubles. No person should be judged on what they do for a living." I snap my head up to look at her, not hearing anything else I start to form a plan to talk to Kevin.
"Miss Winters, you are the best, better then all the rest. I have to run I need to go have a talk with someone. I'll see you later." I say standing up and running across the street to my place. Bolting threw the door I start up the stairs not even saying hey to AJ or Michelle. Running back down the stairs, I say hi to them and start talking a mile a minute. "Okay you 2, I know you are planning of trying to get me and Kevin together. But I have one thing to say, and AJ I want to try this out on you first. Is that okay?" I say looking at him.
"Sure I guess, your not going to kiss me are you?" I laugh at him while he smiles at me.
"Not unless you want me to."
"Nah that's okay?"
"Okay, cool then." I say walking around the room for a few minutes. "Okay I'm going to be a real asshole for a few minutes, don't take all that I say personally. Okay, I also know when I lay this on Kevin he is most likely going to hate me more then, then he hates me now."
"Well start and we'll see if we can help." He replies sliding to the edge of the couch.
"Okay this is what I'm thinking of doing." I lay down the basics of the plan for them, "then when we meet again. I want this to be somewhere we can yell at one another and not be bothered by anyone."
"Then why not at the hotel. You can use my room back at the hotel. We got the whole floor to ourselves till the guys get here."
"Great, oh I have a question that's been on my mind all day today. But lets handle that later okay." He shakes his head yes, "Now, you need to go and take care of your end of things AJ."
"K, where's the phone?" he asked as I pointed to it sitting next to him. "Cool." He screams as he jumps up and then sits down on the floor next to the phone.
"Hey press the voice button after you pick up the phone." I ask him.
"Um okay," he says as he starts to dial a number, then he presses the button "Hey Kevin" AJ said into the phone.
"AJ where the fuck are you?" Kevin's voice can be heard over the intercom.
"Woo, woo there man, I'm over David's house. Trying to do some ground control, over here."
"So he is going to write a story about me."
"Is that a question or a statement? Cause if it's a statement, Kevin get over yourself. If it's a question, the answer is no. He never was going to write a story about you. You know Kevin sometimes; you are so freaking conceited its not even funny. Here was a guy that really liked you. And I don't mean liked the Backstreet Kevin. He saw you in line and was attracted to you. Before he even knew about you man and I know I've been talking to him for the last 12 hours. I've been trying to find some way to get the two of you together, so you would see that this guy is great. Hell if I liked men I would take him in instead of letting you have him. But I so like his friend more." He says into the phone while smiling and staring at Michelle, who mind you was blushing a lovely shade of scarlet.
"Is he in the room with you now?"
"No he isn't, he had to go handle the car crash that I got us in to last night."
"Car crash are you okay? What happened?"
"I was driving, I was drunk. I was driving drunk in David's car. We crossed an intersection, another drunk driver plowed into us. I don't know what happened to that other driver. David shoved me into the back seat and took any blame for the accident. The officer that took his report was flirting up a storm with him. It was really bad man, but if it wasn't for that my name might have been put in some paper. David was a really nice guy to me last night. Even after one of my best friends was a complete asshole to him."
"God.... I don't know what to say."
"Oh my god Kevin Richardson is speechless and no one is around to see this. Damn it and me with out my tape recorder too." Replied AJ laughing into the phone.
"Fuck you AJ."
"No that's the problem you're not getting fucked, so you're up all our asses all the time. Kevin....... all the guys and I want is for you is to be happy, you where happy with Rob. But he wasn't happy with you, David here is a really nice guy, the least you can do is come out to dinner with us tonight and see what happens okay."
"I'll think about it, okay."
"Good, that's all I for you to do is think about it. Now when he comes back, I'm going to set up the dinner date minus the fact that you're going to be there. Then I'm heading back to the hotel so we can hang out for the day and I can tell you about him over lunch."
"Okay see you when you get back."
"K, talk to you later man. Peace." he replies hanging up and turns off the speaker before Kevin can even say good bye. Turning around to face us he has this big cheesy ass smile plastered on his face. "Man that went GREAT." He screams jumping up and down.
"AJ chill, where are you planing on going to lunch?" asks Michelle.
To be continued.
