That night, the guys were backstage at the show. Nick bounced
a ball off the wall in his dressing room. The door opened and Brian came in. He closed the door.
Hey Frack, Brian said.
Hey, Nick said.
I talked to Brizee again, Brian said.
What did she say? Nick asked.
She needs time to herself, and she needs you to prove what you said to her, Brian said.
Is she here? Nick asked.
Yes, shes out in the VIP section, Brian said.
I want to dedicate a song to her, Nick said. He wrote something down. He handed the paper to Brian.
Nick? Brian said.
Two songs, Dont Wanna Lose You Now and Back To Your Heart, Nick said. Brian nodded and went out. Nick got ready. They
went onstage and did the show. Halfway through, Nick stepped forward.
Everyone, we have added two songs into the show tonight, they both are on the Millennium album, they are special songs
to me tonight, Nick said looking at Brizee. She held the note and looked up at him. The guys performed Dont Wanna Lose You
Now and Back To Your Heart. After the songs were over, Nick looked down at the VIP area and saw Brizee gone. He went backstage.
He saw her standing there staring at him.
Nick, go get changed! Kevin said. Brian smacked Kevin.
Never mind! Kevin said. The guys went to change. Brizee came over to Nick and kissed him deeply.
Go, I wont go anywhere, and we can talk, Brizee said. Nick nodded and went to get changed.
After the show, Nick came backstage and didnt see Brizee and
he went to his dressing room and opened the door and saw Brizee sitting on the couch wrapped in a blanket. He closed the door
and she smiled at him. He locked it and she stood up and he came over to her. She looked up at him.
Are we okay? Nick asked.
Open the blanket and see, Brizee said. He opened the blanket slowly and saw that she was completely naked underneath.
He let the blanket fall to the floor and let his hands wonder her body. He kissed her slowly.
God, why was I so stupid, Nick said.
Nick, let it go, lets move on and be happy, Brizee said.
I wanted you when you wanted it, I wanted to finish that game, and when I lost, I got upset, and Im sorry for that,
I dont like losing, and I dont want to lose you, Nick said. She ran her hands under his shirt.
You have too many clothes on, Mr. Carter, Brizee said.
Briz, did you hear what I said, Nick said.
Yes, and you wont lose me, now get out of these clothes and make tender sweet love to me, Brizee said kissing his neck.
Nick moaned and stripped off his clothes and picked her up and laid her on the couch and laid on top of her and kissed her
deeply and he slowly made love to her. They were lying there holding each other when there was a knock at the door.
What, Nick said.
Time to go, Frack, Brian said. They got up and got dressed and Nick got his stuff together and they went out to the
buses.
God, Im so tired, Brizee said lying on the bed.
I wonder why, Nick said.
You wore me out, Brizee said.
You wanted it, well, we both did, Nick said.
I have a confession to make, Brizee said.
Okay, what is it, Nick said.
The reason I want to make love with you so much is that I want to get pregnant, Brizee said.
Briz, Nick said.
Nick, hear me out, I feel like theres this void in my life and I want to fill it, I feel like it was my fault that
I lost the baby and I want to get that back, Brizee said. Nick laid down on the bed and pulled her close and kissed her neck.
Baby, its not your fault, Nick said.
Yes it is, I should have stayed calm and relaxed, but I was so scared that you were never coming back, Brizee said.
I almost didnt get to, when you had the miscarriage, Willa let me go because she knows what it is like to have a miscarriage,
Nick said.
What do you mean, Brizee said.
Before she and I broke up, she was pregnant with my child, but she didnt know it until she had pains so she went to
the doctor and the doctor said she was pregnant and had a miscarriage, so she blamed herself for it and pushed me away and
we broke up, Nick said.
So she kidnapped you because she wanted you back, Brizee said. Nick held her close.
Yeah, she called me that day that I was kidnapped wanting me back, I told her that I have moved on, so she said she
wanted to meet me and I went down to meet her and she had two guys grab me and took me to her house where she had TV screens,
Nick said.
Why didnt you get back together with her? Brizee said.
Because Im married to you and I love you, Nick said.
Because there is no way out of this marriage, Brizee said.
Brizee, what is wrong, Nick said.
Do you still have feelings for her? Brizee said.
Brizee, I love you, Nick said.
Nick, just answer me, Brizee said.
Yes, I do, Nick said. Brizee sat up.
Then you have to deal with those feelings, Brizee said.
Briz, no, I dont want to be near her again, Nick said.
Nick, you need to deal with those feelings before we can move on, Brizee said.
Briz, Nick said.
Im taking our room at the next hotel, you stay with Brian, I cant be with you until the feelings are dealt with, Brizee
said.
No, Nick said.
Nick, I love you, okay, but you need to get these feelings for her, Brizee said.
And how am I suppose to do that, Nick said.
Go out with her, anything, Brizee said.
I dont think I can do that, Briz, I love you so much, Nick said. Brizee looked at him.
And I love you, but you have to do this, Brizee said.
Briz, I dont know, Nick said.
Nick, if you would do anything for me, do this, Brizee said.
Are you sure? Nick asked. Brizee nodded.
