Three months later, I was done recording my first album. Nick and the guys were going on tour again and this time I was going with them to open for them. Nick and I were packing. "I'm glad you are going with us, I would have missed you alot," Nick said. "I would have missed you, too, we will be together now," I said. "I know," Nick said pulling me close and kissing my neck. "I don't think so, Mr. Carter, you need to finish packing," I said. "But I'm done, all I had to do was put fresh clothes in the bags, and I did, I'm done, and you are done, I want you," Nick said lying me on the bed. We pulled each other's clothes off and made love. We laid there holding each other. "Come on, let's get going," I said getting up. I got dressed and closed my bags up and carried them downstairs. Nick came downstairs with his bags. Two hours later, we were on the tour bus. I was talking to Brian when I saw Nick come over and sit down beside me. "Mrs. Carter," Nick said. "Yes," I said. "Can I talk to you?" Nick asked. We went back to the entertainment room and he closed the door and locked it and looked around. He came over to me and kissed me hungrily. He turned on the stereo with the remote. He pulled my shirt off. "Nick," I said. "Hmm," Nick mumbled as he kissed my neck. "Not here," I said. His hands ran over my body. He pulled me closer. "I want you so bad, I can't wait," Nick moaned as he kissed my collarbone. "Oh god, Nick," I said. I pulled his shirt off. We pulled the rest of each other's clothes off and laid on the floor and he got inside me. He picked up the pace and we both reached our peaks. He laid on top of me and kissed me softly. "I love you so much," Nick said kissing my neck. "I love you, too," I said. We got dressed and straightened up and joined everyone up front. Three months later, we returned to Orlando. I was staring out the window of the Durango. "Baby, you okay?" Nick asked. "Yeah, I can't believe it's over, I had so much fun, the fans were incredible, every city loved me, did you hear the cheers," I said. "Yeah, you will make it big, baby, I know you will," Nick said. "I hope so, I just don't want anyone to hate me," I said. "Baby, there will be people who hate you and people who love you, don't worry about the people who hate you, focus on the ones who love you," Nick said. "Like you do, when the ones who hate you guys love N'Sync, and the ones who love you hate N'Sync," I said. "Yeah, we care about the fans who love us, not the ones who hate us, the ones who hate us, not our problem, the ones who love us, we do anything for them," Nick said. "That's why you guys dedicated Larger Than Life to the fans, because they love you and you wanted to show them that you love them," I said. "Yeah," Nick said. "I know I love you guys, especially you," I said. "And I love you," Nick said. He squeezed my hand. We arrived home. We carried our stuff in. I unpacked the clothes and put a load in the washer. I turned it on and went back out and Nick pulled me close and picked me up and carried me upstairs and laid me down and we made love. We fell asleep holding each other.
