Moral courage. Kris left Adam to mingle with all his other well-wishers. About a half hour later, Kris noticed Adam’s guest was sitting alone. Adam was across the room talking with some label executives.
Kris went over,
“Melissa, right?”
Melissa smiled at Kris, “Yes and your Kris Allen. I voted for you way back when on idol.”
“Thank you. I wouldn’t be here today if not for those votes. So what do you do?”
“I am a dancer. I was in the Glitterfest show.”
“Impressive. I was lucky enough to see it and it was great. Is it still on?”
Melissa shook her head, “No, are supposed to take it on the road but we need to replace Adam and probably Brad.”
“Why can’t Brad go?”
Melissa shrugged, “I doubt he would leave Adam. Last time they were separated they broke up and recently it seemed like they were finally getting back together. Well, er, before all the stuff with you.”
Kris was a little taken aback, “I thought they were just friends.”
“They were boyfriends and really, really in love. Everyone thought they would last forever but then Adam went on the road with Wicked and it strained their relationship. Brad has been trying to get back with Adam for years and it seemed like they were together again but I guess not. They were so cute together.”
Kris wondered how close they were. He knew they were lovers but the fact that Adam had been willing to risk his career sticking up for him must mean that he was also emotionally committed to the guy. Kris hoped he wasn’t standing in the way of true love especially if he was not sure what he wanted. Kris looked at Melissa,
“Do you think Adam loves Brad?”
“Without a doubt. He was devastated when they broke up and I have never seen him fall for anyone as intensely. I think eventually they will get back together since neither one seems to have moved on.”
Kris saw Adam coming over and excused himself. He continued to socialize and didn’t see Adam leave. He decided to drink. He proceeded to get pretty drunk and was happy when Jake took him home. He had decided not to go to Adam’s apartment. If Adam had a chance at being with his true love, Kris had no right to get in the middle. He did not want to ruin Adam Lambert’s life anymore than he had.
Kris went to bed and woke up the next day hung-rover. He checked his cell phone and there were no messages which meant either Adam didn’t care or he was mad. Kris kind of hoped it was the latter but then dismissed the selfish thought. Kris met with Jason and went over the next week’s hectic schedule. Jason suggested he get a personal assistant to help him manage his daily life.
“You are going to be busy over the next few months and you needs someone telling you where to be, what to where etc and that really isn’t my job. I can’t believe you don’t already have one.”
“Gina did everything. How do I find one?”
“I’ll talk to Rick. How about we give you like three to choose from.”
“OK.”
Kris said goodbye to Jason and went to the studio. He wanted to thank some of the studio musicians since he did not have a chance to speak with them the night before. He went in and went into the sound booth. He saw Rick there and he was talking into the microphone,
“OK, Adam. Do it again just like that. OK, recording.” Kris thought Adam’s voice sounded great in a theater but it was nothing to what it sounded like in a studio. Rick noticed Kris and pointed to a seat. Kris sat down and watched as Adam recorded a very dark, melodic song. It was gut retching and beautiful. When Adam finished the last note Rick spoke in the microphone,
“Perfect, Adam. Relax, take a break and I will play it back in a few minutes.” Rick motioned for the technician to set up the equipment, “So, Kris, what brings you to the studio?”
“I was going to thank the musicians since I got waylaid most of the night. I didn’t know you handled the technical aspects of recording.”
“I usually don’t but I wrote this song with my ex-girlfriend and wanted to be a part of its production. The actual album producer will be coming by in a couple hours. I think the musicians are in the lounge.”
“Thanks. I’ll just go find them.” Kris walked out and bumped into Adam who was coming out of the studio.
“Hi, you sounded great in there.”
Adam just looked at Kris. Kris shifted, “When is the album going to be complete?”
“Why did you stand me up? You could have called, you know.”
Kris looked down, “I couldn’t get away from the party and then I was tired. I thought our plans were tentative.”
“Were you just busy or did you decide WE weren’t a good idea? I’d rather not be led on.”
Kris looked at Adam and saw the vulnerability in his eyes. Kris knew he should be quick and firm and just end it but he wanted Adam. All his conviction to do the right thing was going out the window. He moved closer to Adam and placed his hand on his chest. Adam jerked a little from the touch but kept his gaze steady.
Kris took a deep breath filling his nostrils with Adam’s faint cologne, “I think we are a really bad idea and I think we should stay away from each other but…” Kris ran his hand over Adam’s hardened nipple.
“Fuck,” Adam groaned just before kissing Kris and pushing him against the wall. Kris kissed him back and was getting turned on by Adam’s aggressive passion. It was unlike his experiences with Katy. Kris was pinned against the wall and Adam had his thigh between Kris’ legs pressed up against his erection. Adam started kissing Kris down his neck and leaving painful little bite marks. Kris was lost and readily gave himself up to Adam’s control. Adam lifted Kris wrists over his head against the wall which gave Kris the leverage he needed to rub himself against Adam’s thigh. It was so hot and Kris was hard as a rock.
“Adam! Let go of him. Are you fucking nuts!”
Kris was vaguely aware of Adam releasing him and falling to the ground. Kris was trying to clear his head as he heard Rick asking him if he was OK. Kris nodded and was just catching his breath as he heard Rick yelling at Adam.
“I’ve dealt with a lot of shit in my time but never someone trying to rape another artist in the fucking hallway. You need help. I’m calling the cops.”
Kris looked at Adam who just had his head in his hands looking completely dejected.

Adam woke up and checked his cell phone. Kris hadn’t called or text him so it was officially a blow off. Adam putzed around the apartment and became hopeful when someone knocked on his door. Adam quickly checked himself in the mirror and opened the door expecting an apologetic Kris.
“What’s with the shit eating grin, babe?”
Adam felt crushed again, “I thought you were someone else.”
“Fuck you, too. Who did you think I was? Your lame pocket idol? You really need to move on dude this is getting beyond pathetic.”
“What do you want, Brad?”
“I came to visit and make sure you are still alive. You have been off the radar screen for weeks.”
“I am busy recording.” Adam watched Brad make himself at home on his couch. So much for a relaxing afternoon. “Is something wrong, Brad?”
“Joey won’t introduce me to his parents.”
“Perfect. You hate meeting parents.”
“Yeah but the point is he doesn’t WANT me to meet them. Don’t you think that is fucked up?”
“Do his parents know he is gay?”
“No, but I said I would pretend I was just a friend.”
Adam laughed, “Sorry, babe, but you are way too obvious to keep the cat in the bag. Give the guy a break, not that many people would have taken you back after cheating on several occasions.”
Brad smiled, “I don’t know if I should stay with a loser that would put up with that. Anyway, I am still pissed and think it would make me feel better to be passive-aggressive. Do you want fool around with me?”
“Um…no.” Adam needed to talk, “Kris blew me off last night.”
Brad looked at Adam, “Don’t you have to be dating to be blown off?”
“He said he was going to come over and then he didn’t; no call, nothing.”
“What is with your obsession? Did you even fuck him?”
“No-
“Of course you didn’t because he was too busy getting your ass thrown in jail. Adam, this is without a doubt the most self-destructive pursuit know to humankind. I am literally worried for your safety. You can do so much better. You are gorgeous and can be an amazing boyfriend that any guy would be lucky to have.”
Adam was comfortable on his pity pot, “You didn’t want me.”
“Oh contraire, I always want you; I just don’t like all your emotional baggage and rules. But, hey plenty of men like that shit. Kris Allen is so not worth you getting upset. The guy is a douche and if you gave him a ninth chance and he still fucked it up maybe it’s a sign.”
Adam laughed, “Yeah, a real subtle sign. Thanks, babe, now leave so I can do something useful with my day.”
Brad pouted, “Can I have a blow job at least so I can feel like I cheated?”
Adam rolled his eyes, “Why don’t you just tell Joey how you feel instead?”
“I’d rather get head.”
Adam agreed at some level it would feel good to be with Brad after getting blown off but that was a dark road. For once Adam was going to not act with his hormones in control. It helped that he had a hangover and doubted Brad would return the gesture but it was still progress.
Brad left and Adam spent the day doing laundry and cleaning his apartment. He went to bed early and hit the studio in the morning. Rick was there to oversee him recording a really beautiful ballad he had given him. Adam had appreciated the gesture and was pleasantly surprised to hear how good it was. By early afternoon, they were ready to record the vocals. Adam did a dry run and noticed someone had joined Rick in the sound booth. He recognized Kris and was mad. He had secretly hoped Kris had gotten into a car accident and that was why he hadn’t called. But, it was obvious he had just chosen not too. Adam just focused on his vocals.
Adam finished the song and was told to take a break before the play back. He didn’t see Kris in the booth and figured he had left. Adam walked out of the studio and collided with the very person he was hoping to avoid.
Kris smiled at him, “Hi, you sounded great in there.”
Is he really just complimenting me instead of apologizing to me. Adam just looked at Kris.
Kris shifted, “When is the album going to be complete?”
That fucker is really going to just ignore blowing me off and act as nothing happened. Hell no, he’s not, “Why did you stand me up? You could have called, you know.”
Kris looked down, “I couldn’t get away from the party and then I was tired. I thought our plans were tentative.”
“Were you just busy or did you decide WE weren’t a good idea? I’d rather not be led on.”
Adam needed resolution one way or another. Adam was surprised as he felt Kris’ hand on his chest. It felt like an electrical current was passing through his body as he stared at Kris.
“I think we are a really bad idea and I think we should stay away from each other but…” Adam felt Kris’ hand graze over his hardened nipple which sent the blood out of his brain straight into his cock. Not good.
“Fuck,” Adam groaned and against every principle and instinct of self-preservation, Adam pinned Kris to the wall and started ravishing him. Adam couldn’t believe he still felt as hot for Kris as he felt the first time he touched his body. He still felt that electricity he experienced on that fateful day when he filled in for Eva and gave Kris Allen a massage. Adam knew he was being aggressive but Kris was responding passionately and Adam could feel the heat between them. Adam could not help marking Kris and was surprised when Kris arched into him pumping against Adam’s thigh. Kris was a hot little pocket, alright. Adam was envisioning taking him when he heard a chilling voice.
“Adam! Let go of him. Are you fucking nuts!”
Adam froze and immediately released Kris. Kris seemed unprepared for Adam’s sudden release and collapsed to the ground. Adam turned to an irate, disgusted Rick and realized how bad it must have looked.
“I’ve dealt with a lot of shit in my time but never someone trying to rape another artist in the fucking hallway. You need help. I’m calling the cops.” Adam’s blood chilled as he noticed Kris was not saying anything. He was going to leave Adam out to dry again. Adam just became resigned to the fact that he was going to bear the brunt of it and probably get arrested again. Feeling tears forming, Adam just put his head in his hands and hoped he could maintain some shred of dignity. A few seconds later he heard a soft voice,
“He didn’t attack me, Rick.”
“Kris, you don’t have to stick up for him. I know you don’t like scandals but-“
“-Rick, it was a mutual kiss. He wasn’t doing anything I didn’t want him to do.”
Adam saw Rick’s face transform to shock and then anger, “Kris, for chrissake you are in the hallway of a major studio not to mention it is costing the label over $600 an hour to record this fucking album.”
Adam tried to deflect some of Rick’s anger from Kris and offered lamely, “You did say to take a break.”
“Yeah, well I didn’t mean to go in the hallway to make out with America’s golden boy. Are you two planning to go public with this?
Kris looked down, “No.” Adam felt a small stab in his heart. Great, the best he could hope for was being Kris’ dirty little secret. Well, not ideal but perhaps workable.
“Then I suggest you leave that shit to the privacy of your own homes. Kris, Perez is convinced you are gay and is chomping at the bit to get evidence. At this rate you will be outed before Wednesday. Adam, get back in the studio and Kris go home.”
Adam looked at Kris and offered a small smile. Kris was looking down somberly and then winked at Adam before turning and leaving. Adam let out the breath he was holding and was relieved to not be going to the joint for attempted rape.
Rick looked at him, “You must be one hell of a lay that Kris Allen keeps jeopardizing his million dollar career. Both of you need to chill out and be a hell of a lot more discreet. Come on, lover boy, and lets finish up this track.”
Adam went back in the studio feeling elated. Kris had finally stuck up for him.
