Adam just turned over and seemed to be going to sleep. Without clothes Kris could really only escape to the bathroom. Kris grabbed his cell phone and went into the bathroom. He noticed it had been off probably since the plane. He called Katy even though it was almost eleven at night.
“Kris, why was your phone off? I have been trying to call you all night. How is your friend?”
“He is ok, we got him settled into his home and the doctor said he should recover.”
“That’s great. So now that he survived the plane ride when are you coming home?”
Kris noticed Katy sounded annoyed, “I will fly back the day after tomorrow. Maybe we can go to dinner when I come in. I miss you.
“Really, where are you in New York?”
Kris could not keep up with his lies so tried to stay closer to the truth, “I am staying in a hotel in Manhattan.”
“Alone?”
“Yeah, there was no room at Brian’s house. Sorry for calling so late, I just wanted to hear your voice before I went to sleep.”
“That is sweet but I would rather you come home. Call me tomorrow and stop turning off your cell.”
“OK, I love you.”
“I love you too, Kris.”
Kris went back out into the room and wondered where to go. It was dark and he had no idea how to set up the couch bed so he just climbed into Adam’s bed. Luckily, Adam seemed to be asleep and wasn’t awake to object. Kris fell asleep and woke up around 9am. Adam was still sleeping and had snuggled up against him which was surprisingly comforting. Kris was usually not one for giving up his personal sleeping space. Plus, he rarely slept in a bed with anyone since both he and Katy lived with their parents. Katy and he sharing a bed all night was rare and was one of the pressure points for getting married.
Kris moved to get up and woke Adam in the process. Adam seemed a bit disoriented and then seemed to put the pieces together. “What time is it?”
“It’s a little past nine. Sorry I woke you.”
“Sorry enough to make it up with a morning blow job?”
Kris was stunned and then realized he could actually feel Adam’s erection against his backside. Adam laughed and turned onto his back so that he was no longer spooning Kris. Kris was still gathering his thoughts when Adam ran his hand over his own erection and glanced over at Kris, “Such a waste. All the cute ones are supposed to be gay, didn’t you get the memo?”
Kris realized Adam was joking and laughed, “I guess not.” Kris turned on his side facing Adam and thought he was really cute without all his makeup and celebrity veneer in place. Adam looked over and quirked a brow, “Let’s pretend you did.” Kris was caught off guard when Adam unabashedly starting kissing him. Adam must have been fairly confident Kris would simply acquiesce because he continued to deepen the kiss. The aggressiveness was turning him on and Kris found himself pulling Adam closer.
Adam maneuvered Kris under him and started kissing his neck and tonguing his ear, “I want you so bad, Kris. Let me show you how good I can make it between us.”
Kris was not thinking with his head anymore and had crossed over to the “fuck-it” zone. Adam pushed Kris’ robe open and was trying to remove it. Kris decided it was uncomfortable anyway and assisted Adam in his task. Adam ran his hands along Kris’ body, “So beautiful. I am going to ravish you until you tell me to stop. Don’t get shy on me, I promise I won’t force you into anything or get upset if you stop me.”
Kris relaxed at hearing Adam’s words and feeling safe that he could pull back if he wanted. Adam continued to kiss and nip had his neck while maneuvering himself on top of Kris. At some point, Adam must have also maneuvered out of his underwear because Kris encountered a only skin has he ran his hands over Adam’s ass. Kris also realized that he was feeling Adam’s cock against his own.
Adam pulled back a bit and smiled, “Here is something you can’t do with a girl.” Adam wrapped his hand around both their cocks and started stroking them both together. Kris smiled back, “Very true, good thing you have big hands.”
Kris felt his orgasm nearing, “Adam, I am going to come.”
“Good, I will come with you.” Kris gave into his orgasm and felt Adam do the same. Adam gave him a quick kiss on the lips before getting up and grabbing a towel to clean up the remnants of their pleasure. Adam smiled, “I love hotels and having someone else changing the sheets every day.”
Kris’ guilt was starting to emerge, “Adam, we should talk-“
“Do you know what method acting is?”
“Er…like Robert Deniro?” Kris had no idea where Adam was going with this conversation.
“Exactly, now why don’t you just slide into your role as my boyfriend. Let me help you with some vision, my boyfriend would never want to ruin post-sex euphoria with an annoying conversation. As a matter of fact, he would keep himself occupied ordering me room service while I jump in the shower. Please, keep the carbs at a minimum.”
Adam went into the bathroom to shower. Kris was a bit annoyed at Adam’s refusal to listen and his condescending manner. Kris acted out his frustration by ordering pancakes and croissants from room service hoping to induce a carb coma in the man.
Adam came out looking refreshed and unfettered. He pulled on a pair of jeans just in time to get the door. Kris was happy when Adam let in a valet carrying not only his laundered clothes and but also his long lost suitcase. Unfortunately, Kris remembered it was filled with dirty laundry.
“I may need to wash some more clothes.”
“Are they like what you wore on the plane? You may have to pick up something a bit fancier.”
Adam looked at the clock, “It is only 1130 so I can take you over to my friends store and leave you with him while I do my interviews. He can help you pick a couple outfits out for tonight and tomorrow.”
Kris frowned, “This isn’t pretty woman, I am perfectly capable of going to a clothing store and picking up a pair of slacks. I don’t need a coat and tie, do I?”
Adam frowned, “Based on that question and my fear of you coming back with khakis, I do think you need my friend. Everyone knows I am a fashion snob and you showing up in a kmart outfit will seriously undermine our façade. In for an ounce, in for a pound. Hurry up and get dressed, lover.”
Kris shook his head, “I know I barely know you but I can’t help thinking fame really gets in the way of manners. Were you always this obnoxious?”
Adam paused, “Yeah, pretty much. Now stop stalling.”
As Kris was gathering stuff for his shower he heard a knock on the door and hastened his movements. Kris went into the bathroom before Adam made it to the door. Kris turned on the shower but could hear Adam cursing up a storm, “Real cute, Kristopher, two can play at this game so I hope you will enjoy your flamboyant outfits.”
Kris wondered if the carb loaded breakfast was such a good idea. Kris came out a whole later giving Adam time to cool off and noticed Adam was eating an egg white omelet he must have ordered. Kris grabbed a croissant, “You do realize you have a very nice body and probably don’t need to have such a dramatic diet.”
“Says the gorgeous boy with a natural six pack. Trust me, I have to watch every calorie. Now stop trying to kiss my ass before we get to the store.”
They grabbed a cab and went to a boutique in the village. Adam’s friend, Paul, was a bit over the top and seemed to be a fashion designer as well as a shopkeeper. The man looked at Kris, “Oh dear, I can see we have some work ahead of us.”
Adam smiled and explained that Kris needed a couple outfits to go to his show and then for a dinner party. Kris decided it was best to just play along. Adam told the Paul to just throw it on his tab. Adam turned to Kris, “I gotta go, sweetie. I will see you back at the hotel.” Before Kris could respond, Adam kissed him as a doting boyfriend would knowing he would be separated from his lover for a time. Kris was surprised that it almost felt real.
Kris spent about two hours in the store and felt exhausted from trying on clothes and being pricked by pins. It seemed like a ridiculous amount of time to spend on just two outfits. It just wasn’t worth it especially since he could have been doing a bit of sight-seeing. Paul had to shorten the pants so he agreed to just send the clothes to the hotel later. Freed from the burden of carrying packages, Kris decided to at least walk back to the hotel in order to get a feel for NYC. At around four his phone rang, “Kris, its Lane, where are you?”
“I am heading back to the hotel, I think I am about 20 blocks away.”
“Why are you walking? We need to leave for sound check in about 45 minutes. Didn’t Adam tell you the schedule? Maybe you should catch a cab-“
Kris heard the phone jostling, “Kris, its Adam, are you sight-seeing?”
Kris felt a bit guilty, “Sort of. I just thought I would just walk back to the hotel.”
“Sure it’s a nice day. I wish I could walk around with you. Look, you don’t need t to come to sound check but be at the concert hall early say by seven. We may have time to grab a bite to eat before my makeup artist gets there. I’ll make sure there is a backstage pass for you in the room. Did you get some cute outfits?”
“They are different.”
“That’s a good sign. Anyway, I gotta go but I’ll see you in a few hours. I can’t wait to see you all decked out.”
Kris laughed, “Hey, I am not the one with a makeup artist so keep the expectations low.”
Kris heard Lane in the background getting pushy and Adam bitching back, “Later, Kris.”
Kris had expected Adam to be a jerk about things but other times he was a really god guy. go the hotel and decided to get done and head down to the theater. His clothes had already arrived by the time he made it to the room, as well as, the backstage access pass. Kris showered and dressed in his new clothes. He had tried to stay fairly conservative with jeans and a black button down shirt. The jeans were tighter than he was used to as was the shirt. The material was soft and obviously very expensive. Paul, the shopkeeper, insisted on accessorizing him so he also had a belt, silver and leather necklace and some matching bracelet. Kris insisted on keeping his converse since everyone knows they go with everything. He topped off the look with some gel in his hair and headed out.
Kris was a bit clueless in how to get backstage but Adam’s fans were very knowledgeable and helpful. Even more scary they seemed to know he was a friends with Adam. As they directed him to the backstage entrance he asked, “How do you know I am friends with Adam?
“Please, we saw you at the airport and he presented you to us. Are you his lover?”
Kris was shocked by the question but worse he knew he was blushing, “Er…”
One of the other fans pushed the girl that asked, “Hey be respectful. It isn’t any of our business whether they are more than friends. Besides, isn’t it obvious enough?” SHe tuned to Kris, “What’s your name, cutie?”
Kris wasn’t sure what to do but his southern manners took over, “Kris, Kris Allen.”
Kris was happy that they finally arrived at a door blocked by a guard. The fans smiled, “Tell Adam we love him and can you give him these letters?”
Kris was in their debt since it definitely was not easy finding the secret entrance, “Of course, Adam is lucky to have such good fans and thanks for your help.”
“Bye, Kris.”
Kris showed the pass and was let in. He could hear Adam’s gorgeous voice belting out a cover of “Stay”. Kris went up t the stage entranced by Adam’s rendition. Adam had his eyes closed and seemed to be pouring his heart into it. He finished the last note and opened his eyes and looked at Kris. Kris totally understood why Adam evoked such a frenzy of emotion in people. Adam’s demeanor brightened and he smiled at Kris and whistled, “You clean up very well, Mr. Allen.”
Kris laughed, “Amazing what an over-the-top outfit can do.”
Adam laughed, “I say that everyday. Hey come on up and meet the rest of my crew.”
Adam introduced Kris to the technicians and stage crew. Adam had slipped into his role as Kris’ boyfriend. So much so, even his band seemed to buy into it. Brian came over by Kris and gave him a beer, “Having fun?”
“Yeah, I had no idea how complicated a concert would be. I played a few acoustic shows but all I had to worry about was one amp.”
Brian smiled, “Ah a fellow musician. Come on and take a look at the sound board. It really is like magic.”
Kris was given a thorough explanation of the sound system and lighting. Kris had once thought of being a musician full time but this further entrenched the idea that playing at a bar was more his speed. Brian took Kris backstage to where Adam was getting his make up done and drinking tea. Kris went over and sat down, “I am totally impressed.”
“Wait until you see the show. Have you ever seen me perform?”
“Yeah, I saw you on TV with Queen and I have seen clips of you from American Idol.”
Adam laughed, “Wow, aren’t you a real glambert.”
“Sorry, if I had known we would meet, I would have watched more and maybe caught a concert.”
Adam laughed, “Actually, I like it that you aren’t all into my music. Well, I will be insulted if I don’t convert you into a fan but it is cool that you aren’t into my image.”
Kris was watching the makeup artist putting on very intricate eye makeup. Although Adam was starting to look flawless and striking, he started to look almost ethereal and untouchable. Without thinking Kris voiced his feeling, “I like how you looked this morning better.”
The makeup artist coughed and Kris realized the implication, “I just meant without makeup…”
Adam laughed, “I am not sure how to take that but you can tell me that tomorrow morning.”
Kris just sat there enjoying his beer. The make-up artist finished and told Adam not to mess up his makeup until after the show. Adam stood up and towered over Kris. He was about 6’5” with his rhinestone heeled boots. Kris really looked at him and could not believe anyone this gorgeous would even be giving him the time of day. Adam seemed to notice the look, “Too much?”
“You look amazing and intimidating as hell. Is it ok if I act a bit like a groupie?”
“How about you act like one of the slutty groupies and offer me a blowjob?”
Kris was taken aback, “Do they do that?”
Adam shrugged, “Not always but I have quite a few offers, none as appealing as one from you would be.”
Kris was a bit flustered but then realized Adam was probably just being outrageous, “Now you are just bullshitting me.”
Adam pulled Kris closer and squeezed his butt, “Only a little bit, my sexy southern innocent.” Adam released him, “Let’s go by the rest of the band before I start sporting a hard on which is on stage becomes a bit uncomfortable. My fans are always checking out my bulge.”
Kris just shook his head and followed Adam. They all decided to grab a quick bite to eat at the restaurant across the street. They got a booth and Adam sat next to him. Adam kept his arm on the back of the booth around Kris which again felt natural. Adam was a touchy-feely person and brought the same trait out in Kris. By the end of the meal, Kris was leaning into Adam’s side enjoying the warmth. Kris was also having fun with the group. Being an avid music lover, Kris was able to hold his own in the conversation and found himself laughing throughout the meal.
Ashley looked at them, “You two really look good together. I wouldn’t even guess that you had met less than a week ago.”
Adam nodded, “That’s good because tomorrow we have to convince my ex we are a couple.”
Tommy snorted, “I don’t know why you even care what that plastic wanna-be thinks. He wasn’t that great a catch and Kris here is a thousand times more fun. Plus he treats you better.”
Adam rolled his eyes, “He is treating me good because we are role playing.”
Brian snorted, “So was Gavin and he was still an asshole to you.”
Kris could sense Adam getting annoyed and wasn’t surprised when Adam snapped, “Since when did I hire you all as relationship counselors? Last I checked you were my fucking backup band so stop commenting on my love life.”
Brian shook his head, “Back-up band? We are your only band, Adam. Look, you are right it is none of our business but I just find it interesting that at even the mention of Gavin you become a dick. I just think you are a better person without him and acting or not, Kris here is a cool guy and doesn’t bring out all your unlikable qualities. And yes, Adam despite the fame and money your shit still doesn’t smell like roses.”
Kris did not want to cause another major conflict within the band but wasn’t sure it was his place to intervene. Still Kris hated conflict so he put his hand on Adam’s thigh, and looked up at him, “Adam, you have a show in two hours and you getting upset might affect your performance. Think about all your fans so excited to see you and happy you are going to make them.”
Kris took a chance and slid his hand higher toward Adam’s cock which got his attention. Adam placed his hand over Kris’ and moved it on top of his cock which was hardening, “OK, I will be the bigger man if everyone shuts up about my love life. Now let’s talk about the set list…”
Kris noticed the band exchange glances and then looked at Kris amused. Ashley started talking about the upcoming show and everyone seemed to forget about the averted fight. More concerning was how the band seemed to not be fazed by Adam’s outburst and sudden mood swing.
After the meal which Adam paid for they headed back for the meet and greet. Kris was allowed to stand by Lane and watch. He frowned noticing many of the glamberts were taking his picture and was glad they were fans and not paparazzi.
As soon as the meet and greet finished, Adam was rushed to perform. Kris was taken to a VIP section to view the concert. There were a bunch of people he didn’t know but some looked famous. Kris decided to take a few moments and check his phone, He had about 40 missed calls and 30 text messages. Kris was worried someone had gotten sick or ill. He scrolled down and saw his family and friends had been trying to contact him for the last three hours. Kris called his mother, “Mom, its Kris, is everything OK?”
“You tell me Kristopher? Katy is crying hysterically, I am getting calls from everyone we know asking me when you came out and started dating Adam Lambert! Not to mention the visits from our church with conversion pamphlets. What exactly is going on Kristopher Neil Allen?”
Not good.

Adam laughed, “I am not sure how to take that but you can tell me that tomorrow morning.”
Kris just sat there enjoying his beer. The make-up artist finished and told Adam not to mess up his makeup until after the show. Adam stood up and towered over Kris. He was about 6’5” with his rhinestone heeled boots. Kris really looked at him and could not believe anyone this gorgeous would even be giving him the time of day. Adam seemed to notice the look, “Too much?”
“You look amazing and intimidating as hell. Is it ok if I act a bit like a groupie?”
“How about you act like one of the slutty groupies and offer me a blowjob?”
Kris was taken aback, “Do they do that?”
Adam shrugged, “Not always but I have quite a few offers, none as appealing as one from you would be.”
Kris was a bit flustered but then realized Adam was probably just being outrageous, “Now you are just bullshitting me.”
Adam pulled Kris closer and squeezed his butt, “Only a little bit, my sexy southern innocent.” Adam released him, “Let’s go by the rest of the band before I start sporting a hard on which is on stage becomes a bit uncomfortable. My fans are always checking out my bulge.”
Kris just shook his head and followed Adam. They all decided to grab a quick bite to eat at the restaurant across the street. They got a booth and Adam sat next to him. Adam kept his arm on the back of the booth around Kris which again felt natural. Adam was a touchy-feely person and brought the same trait out in Kris. By the end of the meal, Kris was leaning into Adam’s side enjoying the warmth. Kris was also having fun with the group. Being an avid music lover, Kris was able to hold his own in the conversation and found himself laughing throughout the meal.
Ashley looked at them, “You two really look good together. I wouldn’t even guess that you had met less than a week ago.”
Adam nodded, “That’s good because tomorrow we have to convince my ex we are a couple.”
Tommy snorted, “I don’t know why you even care what that plastic wanna-be thinks. He wasn’t that great a catch and Kris here is a thousand times more fun. Plus he treats you better.”
Adam rolled his eyes, “He is treating me good because we are role playing.”
Brian snorted, “So was Gavin and he was still an asshole to you.”
Kris could sense Adam getting annoyed and wasn’t surprised when Adam snapped, “Since when did I hire you all as relationship counselors? Last I checked you were my fucking backup band so stop commenting on my love life.”
Brian shook his head, “Back-up band? We are your only band, Adam. Look, you are right it is none of our business but I just find it interesting that at even the mention of Gavin you become a dick. I just think you are a better person without him and acting or not, Kris here is a cool guy and doesn’t bring out all your unlikable qualities. And yes, Adam despite the fame and money your shit still doesn’t smell like roses.”
Kris did not want to cause another major conflict within the band but wasn’t sure it was his place to intervene. Still Kris hated conflict so he put his hand on Adam’s thigh, and looked up at him, “Adam, you have a show in two hours and you getting upset might affect your performance. Think about all your fans so excited to see you and happy you are going to make them.”
Kris took a chance and slid his hand higher toward Adam’s cock which got his attention. Adam placed his hand over Kris’ and moved it on top of his cock which was hardening, “OK, I will be the bigger man if everyone shuts up about my love life. Now let’s talk about the set list…”
Kris noticed the band exchange glances and then looked at Kris amused. Ashley started talking about the upcoming show and everyone seemed to forget about the averted fight. More concerning was how the band seemed to not be fazed by Adam’s outburst and sudden mood swing.
After the meal which Adam paid for they headed back for the meet and greet. Kris was allowed to stand by Lane and watch. He frowned noticing many of the glamberts were taking his picture and was glad they were fans and not paparazzi.
As soon as the meet and greet finished, Adam was rushed to perform. Kris was taken to a VIP section to view the concert. There were a bunch of people he didn’t know but some looked famous. Kris decided to take a few moments and check his phone, He had about 40 missed calls and 30 text messages. Kris was worried someone had gotten sick or ill. He scrolled down and saw his family and friends had been trying to contact him for the last three hours. Kris called his mother, “Mom, its Kris, is everything OK?”
“You tell me Kristopher? Katy is crying hysterically, I am getting calls from everyone we know asking me when you came out and started dating Adam Lambert! Not to mention the visits from our church with conversion pamphlets. What exactly is going on Kristopher Neil Allen?”
Not good.
