Chapter 19: Operation Cheer Up Chris Rich
∞

Our show that night went great, but I could tell that, especially during the cake medley, Chris just wasn’t into it, as he usually was. I knew it probably had something to do with the tour being almost over. I knew he worried about us drifting apart. I could see why he would worry. A lot of times, being famous does tear even the closest couples apart. However, I was not about to let that happen to Chris and I. I loved him far too much to ever let him go. I didn’t know how our separate careers were going to go, but I knew that no matter how busy we may or may not get, Chris’ and my love for each other would never die down. From then on, I planned on doing everything in my power to cheer him up.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried about Blake and I drifting apart. I was worried that we would both get so busy in our own lives that we would eventually just stop having time for each other. I couldn’t bear to lose him. I had fallen hard for Blake, and I knew that if he and I were to ever break up, it would hit me hard. I’m sure it would even affect my career, for without Blake in my life, I wouldn’t have the will to do anything. I knew that I should be secure in his and my relationship. After all, I knew he loved me as much as I loved him. I guess seeing him dance like that with Shyamali got to me more than I initially thought it had. In my mind, I kept replaying the look on her face as he ground up against her. She supposedly had a boyfriend, but I wasn’t quite sure if she and her boyfriend were still dating or not. All I knew was that she was hanging around Blake a lot more than I was comfortable with.

Our next two shows flew by. It wasn’t long before we had one last day off before our final two shows. I was kind of sad, actually. I was sad that this tour would be over. My worries existed even more with every day that made us closer to the end of the tour. I knew that even though Blake and I would have a place together, we still wouldn’t see each other as often as we had since January. I’d probably be spending time songwriting in Nashville sometimes, and he would be recording his album in Seattle. Also, I didn’t know what we would do when the other toured. I hoped I could tour with him and he could tour with me, and that our schedules wouldn’t collide. I knew I shouldn’t worry about that though. Blake and I loved each other, and I knew deep down that we could make it work no matter what our schedules were.
Anyway, the ten of us decided to all do something together since it was our last day off together. Soon we would be going our separate ways, and who knew if we would ever all be together again, as sad as that was. Well, we’d have Haley and Gina’s weddings, but still…
We had driven straight from our Connecticut show to New Hampshire instead of getting a hotel in Connecticut. That left us an early start on our day together. We had decided to go to the mall and a movie. I knew the day should be fun, but at the same time, I was just too darned depressed to really enjoy it. I knew I had to try my best though, as hard as it might be. After all, I didn’t want to ruin everyone else’s moods.
B∞C

When Chris was moping in our hotel room (no, I am not making light of it; I’m just saying), I went over to the others’ hotel rooms and talked with them each individually. You see, I was on a mission that day to cheer Chris up. I got everyone else in on it too. We were all going to do our best to cheer him up, for we knew how he felt. The end of the tour was going to be sad. We were just handling it better than he was. We were like family, and when one of us was hurt, it was up to the rest of us to help.
So, when we got into our two town cars that the producers had provided for us, it was on.
Phil drove the town car that Chris and I were in. Haley sat in the back with Chris and I, and Gina sat up front with Phil.
“Hey, Chris. At least you weren’t engaged to someone and kissing someone else who is married,” Haley quipped.
Phil stopped the car so suddenly that we were all flung forward a slight bit.
“Whoa, dude. None of us back here are wearing a seatbelt. Watch it!” I said.
Gina and Phil both turned to face Haley.
“Say it again, and I swear I will shove that new tube of red lipstick you just got last month so far up your nose it will come back out your mouth,” Gina said to Haley.
“You know that kiss meant nothing. It should be forgotten about and never mentioned again, please,” Phil added.
I glanced at Chris, who was smirking. Well at least it had made him smile. I just hoped Gina didn’t kill Haley in the meantime.
“Sorry! I was just trying to cheer him up. I‘m reminding him about the good times we had so far. Sometimes it helps to remember the good times, and know that they don‘t necessarily have to be the last memories we all have together. You‘re the ones who cheated anyway,” Haley stated.
“We didn’t cheat. We only kissed. And the next time you want to cheer him up, please leave our private lives out of it,” Gina said, seeming to calm down a bit since Haley’s tasteless attempt had been for a good cause.
Phil began driving again.
“You could have caused an accident, Phillip,” Chris said. It was as if the whole conversation hadn’t even taken place.
“Please. There was no one behind me. We’re following Sligh’s car. He’s not behind us or anything. Besides, it’s not my fault if you guys don’t abide by the law and buckle up.”
“It’s not a law to buckle your seatbelts in the back seat once you’re over fifteen,” I reminded him.
“But they still like you to buckle up,” Phil said.
“Gosh, you are such a nag,” I said to him.
He rolled his eyes at me in the review mirror.
Chris grinned, causing me to grin too. I was glad we had made him happy already. So far so good.
B∞C

I have to admit, the scene in the car ride to the mall did amuse me a bit. I could totally see Gina shoving that lipstick up Haley’s nose. Now that would have been a sight to see!
When we arrived at the mall, we parked, and then met back up with the others.
“So, I say we eat first. I’m starved!” Sligh said as we all headed into the mall.
“Why am I not surprised?” Blake asked.
Sligh glared at him.
“Now boys. Let’s not fight. We have to figure out what movie we want to see and at what time, and then go from there,” Jordin said.
We all agreed on that, and headed to the theaters. I swear it took ten minutes to decide upon which movie to see.
All the guys (aside from Gina, who was all for seeing it) had wanted to see Rush Hour 3, but the rest of the girls wanted to see The Nanny Diaries.
“I’m not seeing any chick flick,” Blake had said about The Nanny Diaries.
“Why not? You’re gay,” Sanjaya quipped.
I smiled. I would miss Sanjaya and Blake’s bantering.
“Look who’s talking,” Blake snapped.
“I wouldn’t mind seeing it,” Sanjaya said.
“There you go,” Blake said with a nod.
Eventually, we all agreed on seeing Halloween.
We got our tickets ahead of time, and then headed down to get lunch before the movie started. We had an hour.
We found a Red Robin that was in the mall and decided to eat there since their food court sucked.
We got seated right away, and instantly the bantering began again. For a group of friends that loved each other like family, we sure liked to taunt each other, I noticed.
“We better hurry up and order before Sligh eats everything and leaves nothing left for us,” Melinda joked.
“Why does everyone crack on my weight, man? I’m not that fat. I’m just a little chubby,” Sligh said.
“Fat is the same as chubby,” Sanjaya quipped.
“You’re the one who ate a hot dog that fell in the sand,” Melinda reminded Sligh.
“Ew!” Jordin exclaimed as the rest of us made faces of disgust.
Sligh shrugged. “What? I was hungry, and wasn’t about to see it go to waste. I washed it of in the ocean.”
We all shook our heads, still disgusted.
“You can finally get into an R rated movie, Sanjaya. Too bad you still look like a kid,” Blake commented. Sanjaya had finally turned eighteen just over a week before.
“I could get in before too since I had Shyamali as my guardian, moron! Besides, it‘s better to look youthful than to look balding and old like you.” He stuck his tongue out at Blake.
Blake rolled his eyes. “Just because I don’t have hair like a girl’s doesn’t make me balding. And just because I‘m more mature than you, doesn‘t make me look old.”
Sanjaya snorted. “Who’s the one with the SpongeBob fascination? Not me.”
Blake looked like he was going to say something smart in return, but the waitress came and took our orders then.
After we ordered, Jordin spoke up. “I’m still seventeen, you know. You never taunt me.”
“Thank you!” Sanjaya said.
Blake shrugged. “It’s not as fun.”
Sanjaya glared at him.
Again, I smiled to myself. I took Blake’s hand in mine and gently squeezed it underneath the table. I knew that with Blake, I could get through anything.
B∞C

After we ate, we headed to the movie. We had to sit five in one row and six in the other since the other seats were taken.
Chris was on my right, Jordin was on his right, Melinda was on Jordin’s right, Phil was on my left, and Gina was on Phil’s left. Sanjaya sat in front of me, Shyamali sat in front of Chris, Sligh sat in front of Jordin, LaKisha sat in front of Melinda, and Haley sat in front of Phil.
I was sure happy to be behind Sanjaya. I was going to have a little fun.
I chose to do so when Michael was in the sanitarium about ready to stab the nurse that was in the room alone with him.
As soon as Michael attacked, I placed my hands over Sanjaya’s shoulders. “Rah!”
He jumped so high, half his popcorn flew into Shyamali’s lap.
“You jerk face!” Sanjaya snapped, turning around to give me his best attempt at the evil eye.
I was dying laughing. I even got a few people shushing me, but I couldn’t help it.
“Let me help you with that,” Sligh said to Shyamali, taking some of the popcorn off her lap and eating it.
This made Jordin giggle too, and from then on, the laughter passed through all of us. I knew we were close to getting thrown out.
I managed to shut up when I felt Chris massage a hand over the front of my pants.
I looked up at him.
He smiled, giving me a wink. “We don’t want to get kicked out now.”
I pressed my hand overtop of his, and kept it there for a moment. “I’d much rather get kicked out for this,” I whispered in his ear.
He smirked. “Later,” he said, his mouth so close to my ear that his warm breath tickled my neck.
We grinned at each other, and then went back to watching the movie. Sanjaya had switched seats with Shyamali. Like I couldn’t just switch with Chris in return. I left him alone though. After all, I really did want to see the movie. I didn’t want to get kicked out. There were be more time for taunting after the movie. Heh, heh…
B∞C

The movie was good. We all agreed that it was good. We all had enjoyed it.
“Man, that kid was wicked! I guess he was just wicked since birth,” Sligh sad as we headed out of the theaters and back into the mall to shop.
“That will be Blake’s kid taking after his father,” Sanjaya stated.
“Ah, what’s the matter Sanjaya? Are you still mad that I made you jump?” Blake asked, placing a hand overtop of Sanjaya’s shoulder.
Sanjaya shrugged him off. “Once an ass hole, always an ass hole.” He turned to me. “Are you sure you want to one day raise a kid with him? I say get out now, while you still can.”
I grinned. “There is nothing I’d want more than to raise a child with him.”
Blake grinned at me.
I hoped that Blake and I would stay together so that we really could have kids one day.
Blake, seeming to sense my change in mood, walked over to me and ever so subtly rubbed my back. It was quick, but he got the meaning across. He knew me so well. That was one of the reasons I fell so quickly for him I guessed.

We all took turns shopping at the stores we wanted.
Jordin wanted to check out The Icing jewelry store, so we did.
“Does this remind you of when we got our nipple rings?” Blake whispered into my ear.
I grinned and nodded. It was a store very much like that one that we had gotten them in. “I wish you still had yours. It was so hot.” I resisted the urge to nip at his neck and run a hand up his shirt.
“Would it make you feel better if I got one again?” he asked.
“But you don’t want one,” I reminded him.
He shrugged. “I’d get one if it would cheer you up.”
I hugged him, not caring if there were others in the store that could see us or not. “I love you. You don’t have to get one. You being willing to says more than enough.”
I released him, and he smiled at me. “I love you too.”

We all got to look at a store we wanted to look at. A lot of the times, there was at least one more of us who wanted to look at the store one of us wanted to look at. For instance, Melinda wanted to look in Rave. LaKisha and Haley did too. Jordin and Gina didn’t mind either, really.
Sligh wanted to go to the drug store to get some candy. Sanjaya wanted candy too. So in reality, we all got to enjoy the stores—not just one of us at a time.
When we got to the drug store, I saw Blake eyeing the condom aisle.
I walked up behind him. “Interested in anything?” I asked, amused.
He turned to me. “Did you know that they have flavored condoms, and also ones that glow in the dark?”
I shook my head. “No, I didn’t know that.”
Blake grabbed some lubricant. “They have edible lubricant too!”
“Well why don’t you get us a bottle?” I asked. No one was in the aisle, so I gave him a quick kiss to the neck. I was totally joking, but he didn’t take it that way.
He grinned mischievously at me. “Shall I?”
“Blake, I was kidding. What if the others see us? Heck, what would the clerk think?”
Blake shrugged. “The others already know about us. Just don’t come up with me to the checkout, and the clerk won’t know it’s for me and you.” He grabbed a box of the glow-in-the-dark condoms. “What flavor do you want?” he asked next.
I looked at the lubricant, blushing a bit. They had piña colada and strawberry.
“Piña colada,” I answered.
He grabbed it. “Shall we get the flavored condoms too?”
I shook my head. “No, one pack is enough.” I knew I was blushing from head to toe. Blake sure had changed. He had gone from being shy about us at the beginning of the tour, to now suddenly being open about us at the end of the tour. He was a little bit too open now if you asked me.
He smirked at me. “For now anyway. This should last us for half a week.”
I blushed even more, if that were possible, and he headed to checkout.
After he paid, Blake headed towards Sanjaya. “Sanjaya! I got those condoms and lubricant you asked for. I don’t know why you need them when you only have yourself to use them with.” He said it loud enough for the whole store to hear.
Sanjaya turned bright red.
Blake and I both ran out of the store, laughing so hard, I thought for sure we would die of lack of breath.
It felt good to laugh. Blake could always make me laugh even when I was in the crummiest of moods. I loved him so much for it. However, I knew he had better watch his back, for he had gotten Sanjaya good. And when Blake got Sanjaya good, Sanjaya always paid him back. The only question was when. Knowing Sanjaya, it would be very soon. Very soon indeed.

Phil wanted to go to the toy store to pick out some toys to bring home for his children, so we ended up going there next.
Things were going innocently enough. Sligh was looking at a toy that made real ice cream, Phil was looking at the stuffed animal section, the girls were looking at the Barbies and reminiscing on the times when they all used to love Barbies, and Chris, Sanjaya, and I were all tossing around a Nerf football. I kept missing, and hitting Sanjaya’s head. It was an accident. Really it was. Okay, maybe it wasn’t.
He was throwing it back at my head, and it took me a moment to realize what was going on with Chris. I saw him staring at someone. I looked to see whom it was, and saw that Shyamali was smiling at me, and heading my way.
“Look, it’s SpongeBob,” she said once she got to me. She was holding up a SpongeBob-shaped pillow.
I grinned, and took it from her. “It’s awesome! Cool, man.” I hugged it. “It’s soft too.”
“I’m gonna buy it for ya,” she said with a wink.
“Aw! You don’t have to do that,” I assured her.
“I want to!” She took it back from me.
“Well thank you,” I said. I kissed her cheek.
She blushed. “Don’t mention it.” She kissed me cheek in return.
“I’m gonna wait outside,” Chris said, suddenly handing the ball to me and walking out the store.
“What’s up with him?” I hadn’t meant to ask it out loud, but I had.
“He’s obviously jealous. You’ve been grinding up against my sister at clubs, and hanging out with her just the two of you on the bus. Now the kisses? Not cool, dude,” Sanjaya said, taking the ball from my hands and tossing it at my head.
I glared at him, but left the ball on the floor. “We were just having some innocent fun when we danced. As for the bus thing, we weren’t ‘hanging out’. She was helping me carry my things on. She and I are just friends. And I kiss all my lady friends.”
Sanjaya shrugged, and picked the ball up. He began tossing it in the air and catching it. “I’d tell Chris that if I were you.”
I sighed. Could Chris really be jealous, or was Sanjaya just pulling my chain? I didn’t know, but I was going to find out.
I headed out of the store to find Chris and have a little talk with him.

B∞C

I’ll admit, seeing the exchange between Shyamali and Blake was the last straw. She definitely had a crush on him whether she had a boyfriend or not. And buying him a SpongeBob pillow had ticked me off almost as much as the kisses had. She was buying him something to bring into bed with him. Not only that, but SpongeBob was my thing I had with Blake. It wasn’t supposed to be her thing too.
“Hey. Sanjaya tells me you’re jealous of Shyamali. Is that true?”
I jumped as I felt Blake’s hand on my shoulder, and heard his voice. I hadn’t heard him come up behind me.
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. Why did you take off so fast?” he asked.
I shrugged. “I guess I just didn’t want to see Shyamali crushing all over you. I also hate seeing you two all up on each other.”
Blake sighed. “So the grinding bothered you?”
I nodded. “Well, yes! And the kissing just now didn’t help either. And SpongeBob is our thing. Not yours and hers. I also don’t like that she is buying you something to take to bed with you.”
“I’m sorry, okay? I won’t dance with her like that anymore. You know I kiss all my lady friends. I’m just an affectionate person. It doesn’t mean anything more than friendship with Shyamali or any of the girls I kiss. If it makes you that uncomfortable, I’ll stop,” he said.
It made me feel better knowing that he would be willing to stop doing that for me. “Really?”
He nodded. “I don’t want to do anything that hurts your feelings, or makes you feel uncomfortable.”
“Well, you don’t have to stop kissing your friends. I know that is just you. But when it comes to Shyamali, could you please not dance with her like that anymore? And I think she seriously has a crush on you. For that reason, I hate seeing you kiss her—platonically or not.” I knew I was being demanding, and maybe a little divaish, but I couldn’t help it. I was possessive of Blake, and it was something I just couldn’t help.
“You really think she has a crush on me?” Blake asked.
“Duh!” I said.
“Well it doesn’t matter how she feels about me because I feel nothing but friendship for her. I love you, Chris. And as far as the SpongeBob thing goes, well… All I can say is that you’re my favorite thing to take to bed, and that is never going to change.
I grinned. “Really?”
Blake grinned too. “Really. I love you, Richie—no one else. And I don’t plan on ever letting you go, so you better get used to it.”
“I love you too,” I said, instantly feeling better about the whole situation, and maybe a little stupid for reacting the way I had.
He hugged me. “Don’t worry. My dancing with and kissing Shyamali days are over.” He moved so that his lips were brushing against my left ear. “From, now on, I’m gonna focus all my energy on you.”
I smiled. “Promise?”
“Cross my heart,” he said, looking me in the eyes now.
We smiled at each other, and I knew then that as long as I had Blake, everything was going to be all right.
