Chapter 5 - Giving in...



By now, both Fifi and Maddie were well underway with their work; each outfit has now being duplicated for when they're at one place, the girls can make sure the duplicates are then sent to the next tour destination. Thie was a first for the Backstreet Boys having duplicates. They had to prepare the guys for a promo photoshoot for the tour and then they all had a dress rehearsal to see how everything worked together. All of the next few days, everyone went and did different promo interviews for the press media. It was interesting to seeing the guys being so professional and confident, and Fifi couldn't wait for the tour to start although she was dreading having to spend so much time with Alex.

Fifi was up early and left the apartment to go shopping. She wanted to treat herself to some new clothes and sort out her finances at the bank, making sure her bills would get paid on time. Fifi has never gotten into any financial troubles and wasn't prepared to start now. Suddenly, she remembered Nick asking her to get him some hair spray that she uses on him and the guys so hastily goes in search for the 'Salon' store. Before she forgets, she decides to stop off at Nick's on her way to a local restaurant for her meal with maddie and other friends.

Stood at the traffic lights, annoyingly, she ends up getting soaked from a passing truck as the city had a heavy downpour earlier in the day. She manages to hitch a taxi and pays him to take her to Nick's home.Standing on Nick's doorway, soaked and loaded with shopping bags, it seems or ever when he finally answers his door. After he invites her inside, he offers her a drink. She blushes as she asks Nick if he would mind if she could go and get changed in his bathroom. Remembering where the bathroom is, she hurries straight to it with one of the bags. Just a few moments later, Nick hears a frustrated voice coming from his bathroom and he's goes to check everything is okay. As soon as he opens the door, he finds her standing there with just a towel wrapped round her little body...

"I undressed thinking I brought the right bag in here with me, please could you find my new bright pink cocktail dress and... Err my matching lingerie as well for me? Oh and can you grab my phone please, I better let my friends know that I'm gonna be late."Nick goes to get her things for her while she rinses her face. He tells her she's welcome to take a shower as well if she wanted. Once he gave her the things she asked for and she phoned her friends, she's relieved that she doesn't have to rush now as they told her to not worry about coming. They said they'll do something another time. Fifi is gutted but slightly relieved that she can relax now and not having to get another taxi, although she's unsure of what to do with herself. Nick has now gone back in the living room area.

 Slung back in his arm chair, he's in the middle of watching a football game when he hears Fifi shrieking and he rushes to the bathroom to find her standing there in the nude trying to work out the shower. He sees to it and then leaves her to be, heading back to watch the football. There was no denying he liked what he had just seen but tried not to let himself get carried away with his wicked thoughts.

"I'm sorry about what just happened, I didn't mean to embarrass you, Nick."

Now with her hair scrunched up in a bun, wearing one of Nick's t-shirts standing at the end of the kitchen counter (it's an open living space). As much as she felt embarrassed at standing in the shower naked, she secretly loved how he looked at her; full of desire and the way he absorbed her. She saw how he couldn't take his eyes off her and before she could engage her brain to connect with her mouth; found herself muttering...

"No stop it, Fifi!" She was surprised when he looked up at her...

"You okay babe?" "Yeah, sorry. I was just... Just thinking but it doesn't matter."

This caused Nick to raise an eyebrow making him keen to know what was going on in that pretty head of hers. Trying to change the topic, Fifi thanks him for letting her borrow his top.

"So what are you watching... Football?"

"Yep! Wanna watch it with me?" 

Sitting down on the edge of the sofa with her drink, trying her best to understand what's going on on the game. Sure. She's enjoying watching it but for some reason, she can't help but glance to the right of her where Nick is slung back on the sofa next to her. Twiddling with her thumb, she's not sure what to say or do so sits quietly. Observing her body language, Nick can't be sure what she's thinking is and is surprised when she suddenly stands up. Not wanting to lose this moment, he grabs her hand and stands up in front of her.

"Where you going? Are you okay?"



Feeling anxious, Fifi avoids making eye contact and focus her attention to the floor...




"I should go... This feels awkward, weird maybe. I'll bring your top when we're next at work together."




Keeping hod of her soft, velvety dainty hand, he gently pulls her closer to him. He can see her shaking and sees her biting her lip...




"Don't go, please. Will you stay? I apologise if I've made you feel uncomfortable and look at me, sweetheart. Let me see those pretty eyes of yours. You're thinking of something, fretting perhaps but I'd love to know what it is."




Gently lifting her chin up with his fingers so he can gaze into her eyes and wraps his arms around her. She eventually looks up at him and moves in closer, placing her arms around the back f his neck. He thinks she's about to say something when he feels her kissing him on the cheek.




"Thank you for making me feel crazy, I was thinking about stuff that I shoudn't be..."




He smiles when he sees her blushing...




"What like?"




"It doesn't matter."




Testing the waters and feeling a little frustrated at her being so coy around him, he goes in to kiss her on the lips, pressing his own against hers. To his delight, she doesn't push him away and embraces him more. She pulls him lower to her, slightly. He then stops to check to see if she's okay. Longing for him to kiss her again, she smiles and runs her fingers through his short blonde locks whilst gazing into his blue eyes. With burning desire racing through his veins, he presses his lips firmly onto hers making his way slowly down to her neck...




The next morning, she and Nick have breakfast together before he drops her off at home. Whilst in the car, they kiss and talk for a little bit.




"Fifi, I'll see you soon then baby. I'm here for you whenever need a chat or whatever, okay?"


"Yes Nicky, thank you. The same to you too, see you. Bye..."

They share a kiss and embrace in a cuddle before Fifi climbs out of the car. She gives a little wave and walks into her apartment. Nick stayed put for a few moments in the car before driving off. Inside the apartment, Fifi walks around looking for Maddie but to her delight, she sees her friend all curled up in bed with a sick bucket next to her. She decides to have a relaxing soak in the bath, replaying over what happened with her and Nick. Not realising that she dozed off, she is slightly startled when she hears Maddie calling out to her...

"Fifi, have you had anything for tea? Oh, and what time is it? My head's a little fuzzy from last night."

Checking the time, she shouts back to her. Maddie then comes into the bathroom and tells her that she hopes she didn't wake her up when she came i through the night. 

"As you can tell, it was a good night ha! Lots of cocktails and shots; oh and wine!! Shams you missed it though honey... Next time hopefullu? N i cannot believe it's nearly tea time... When I fell into bed with my bucket, I was out like a log. Oh my god!! I've still got my dress on!! That's how wasted I got!!"

Fifi couldn't help but laugh at the state her best friend looks. She is glad that Maddie was too drunk to notice that she wasn't there when she came home. She wants to treasure her night of passion without it turning into a gossip session. With both of the girls worn out, they decided to ave an early night ready for work the next day.
