Calmness. Kris woke up with a pounding headache and a warm body next to him. After running his hands along the person, he knew it was Adam. He noticed he was wearing sweatpants and Adam had his boxer-briefs. Obviously, not a lucky night. The night start replaying in his mind and he cringed when he remembered calling Adam a slut. Kris was surprised Adam didn’t knock him out especially since he said he had been faithful. Although Kris didn’t know for sure, he decided he would take Adam at his word.
Kris continued to stare at Adam sleeping. He looked so angelic and fresh. Adam opened his eyes, “You're not planning my demise, are you?”
“No I was planning out my apology. I am sorry I called you a slut. I am not usually a jealous person.”
“Really? This isn’t the first time you called me a slut and went on a jealous tirade.”
Kris nodded, “I know it’s crazy. I never did that to Katy or anyone else. I don’t know why I go so insane when I think about you with another person. I think I just assume everyone else is feeling the same things I feel for you which means they want to ravage you.”
Adam laughed, “You are so full of shit. You don’t trust me, plain and simple.”
“I don’t trust Brad.”
“It takes two to tango. Unless, you think Brad is capable of overpowering me which is ridiculous. Besides, you are jealous about Nick too.”
“I know I am an insecure idiot but I am going to try and fix it.”
“Prove it by not freaking out next time.”
Kris ran his hand over Adam’s chest, “OK, how about I also make it up to you.” Kris’ throbbing headache was being replaced by his desire to have sex with Adam. When did I become a nympho? Kris had always liked sex but he was never ruled by it. Must be the Lambert factor. They spent the next hour fooling around and exploring each other’s bodies. Kris wished they could sleep in but they had promo-work. They got up and faced the day. Luckily the interviews were basic and no one asked personal questions.
Kris was going to have Jade book Adam’s flight to Arkansas figuring he would pay for it since he invited Adam. As a piece offering, he told Adam he would buy Nick’s ticket and pay for his hotel.
“I invited you and I don’t blame you for being wary. I will pay for Nick or Nolan or both if you like. Besides, it might be good to have Nick there just in case Gina’s story comes out.”
“Thank you. Even though I am nervous, I am looking forward to meeting your family. Do you think they will like me?”
Kris didn’t want to set Adam’s expectations too high, “I don’t know. I am not sure if they really are embracing the idea of me being in a same sex relationship.”
“You think this is a set-up?”
Kris regretted his words when he hears the trepidation in Adam’s voice, “No, of course not but I think they may be awkward at first. They will like you as a person because you are charismatic and sweet. But, I must get my social gracelessness from somewhere and I am guessing it may be in the genes.”
The two concerts in San Diego went really well. Kris had Adam join him on stage for a duet as an encore. The audience seemed to enjoy it. They headed to Los Angeles. They would head to Arkansas before their LA shows which was why Adam had to change his plans with Brad. They would do some media events and fly out the next evening. Adam rode in Kris’ bus to LA. When they arrived at the hotel, Adam spoke to him as they waited for Nick and Jade to get their keys.
“Tonight, I am having dinner with some of my friends to include Brad. Do you want to go?”
Kris didn’t want to see Brad but he also didn’t want to leave Adam alone with him. If I go I will fuck it up and he will cancel his trip to Arkansas. Plus, I can prove I am not a psycho all the time. Taking the high road Kris responded,
“Actually, why don’t you just go and catch up with your friends. We will be joined at the hip in Arkansas and I don’t want you to get sick of me.”
“I would never get sick of you. I will probably stay out late.”
Kris nodded, “I trust you, Adam. I promise I won’t drink and make a scene if you come home really late. I know you like going out clubbing so go have a good time. I’ll be here when you get back. Take the extra key to my room in case you want to sleep there.” Kris didn’t care if he sounded pathetic.
Adam kissed him. “Thanks, baby.”
Jade came over and gave them each a set of keys, “You both are next door to each other.”
“Perfect,” Kris gave Adam one of his keys and then followed Jade to his room to get settled. Kris went to dinner with his band. He wanted to forewarn them about Gina and Scott. They ordered drinks and dinner. Kris decided to broach the subject of his blackmail,
“Gina tried to blackmail me and is going to do a tell all article with Scott. So I am probably going to be publicly outed.”
Cale got really angry, “What a bitch and Scott has a lot of nerve after what happened on the hiking trip. I guess he doesn’t feel that guilty for allowing Daniel’s buddies to try and rape Adam.”
Kris was shocked that Cale knew what had happened, “You know the details?”
“Dude, how many times do I have to explain there are no secrets on a tour. In fact, I think it is funny the great lengths you go to cover up what is obvious to the world. Besides, according to Tommy playing with a gay musician is a chick magnet. He gets all kinds of action since Adam’s groupies are hot and they realize he is unavailable.”
Kris laughed when he realized his band was really cool whether he came out or not. “For the record, I am bisexual not gay.”
“Like I said, play up the gayness, your groupies have tended to be too prudish. Adam’s seem to be…er… adventurous.”
“His groupies are older.”
Cale laughed, “Exactly most of yours are jailbait. Cougars would be better.”
Kris went back to the hotel and tried to watch TV. He was trying not to think about Adam out with his friends, Brad and probably a slew of beautiful men that wanted to fuck him. Kris purposely did not drink. Finally about midnight he fell asleep. He woke up hard and realized someone was licking his nipples. Kris looked down and saw black spiky hair.
“When did you get in?”
“About a second ago. I didn’t mean to wake you but…” Adam bit him on his nipple which made Kris jump and Adam giggle. Kris could tell Adam was drunk and he reeked of stale cigarettes, pot, booze and other people’s cologne. Kris made a face,
“You need to take a shower if you want to get in bed with me. I don’t feel like smelling Brad’s cologne all night.”
Adam froze, “I didn’t do anything with Brad. We danced a couple times that’s it.”
Kris noticed it was only two am which was probably very early for Adam. Since Kris was sober, he could reason that Brad probably intentionally hung all over Adam. For once he would not let Brad win.
“Knowing Brad, he probably sprayed you with his cologne when you weren’t looking. I didn’t say it to accuse you of anything. I knew you were out with him. I just want you to shower so I don’t have to choke on the smells of the club you were at when we fool around.”
Adam smiled. “OK, I’ll be right back.”
It seemed like Kris blinked and Adam was back freshly showered and very enthusiastic. A drunk!Adam was a horny!Adam. Adam was all hands and mouth. Kris didn’t mind being the focus of Adam’s attention. Unfortunately, the booze seemed to be interfering with his technique and he was more eager than usual. Kris took the lead in getting the condom on Adam and lubing him up Kris smirked as Adam seemed to be struggling with his coordination. Adam fell back against the bed,
“Fuck! I am too drunk. A little help here?”
Kris laughed, “How about I top this time? You are drunk, it won’t hurt too much.” Kris was only half asking since he knew Adam didn’t like to bottom. Adam seemed to think about it.
“Are you sure you know what you are doing?”
“No, but how hard can it be.”
“You’d be surprised. I’m too drunk to guide you but if it is something you want to try, we can do that. I don’t usually bottom but I will make exceptions for my hot boyfriend. How about for tonight we just stick to the basics before someone gets hurt.”
Kris laughed and fooled around with Adam keeping it simple with some mutual hand jobs. Unlike Kris, Adam was a very mellow drunk and incredibly affectionate. Adam insisted on telling Kris all about his fan-boy crush on him during American Idol and how he almost died when Kris answered the door the first time he went to massage him. Kris blushed at some of the things Adam said and hoped he didn’t remember his confessions. After hearing them, Kris fell just a little more in love with Adam and slept like a baby in his arms. His watch alarm woke him early and he quietly rose without waking Adam. Kris had an early morning interview at the radio station. On his way, he became nervous realizinf in a few hours they would be flying to Little Rock and confronting his family.

Adam was relieved Kris let him go out with his friends without making a fuss. He really hoped he didn’t pull a Jekyll and Hyde. Adam met his friends in WeHo at one of his favorite restaurants. As a precaution, he asked Nolan to join him and Nick agreed to tag along. Nolan and Nick grabbed an adjacent table allowing Adam some privacy with his friends. Brad showed up and immediately went by Nick,
“Hi Porn-king, this must be your new boyfriend since we know what a sub you can be.”
“Hello, Brad, I would say it is good to see you but that would be a blatant lie. You obviously came to see Adam so run along and see him. Try not to make a scene tonight so I can relax and stay off the clock. For the record, this is Nolan, Adam’s body guard. Nolan, this is Brad, Adam’s…obnoxious ex.”
Adam did not want Brad making a scene so he pulled Brad over to his table. Adam had a good time with his friends but Brad kept purposely hanging on to him and flirting incessantly. After dinner they went to a dance club. They grabbed a table in the VIP section. Brad sat on Adam’s lap,
“You look gorgeous, rockstar. Tonight has been one of the best times I had in a long time. Speaking of which, where is your douche bag boyfriend? Was he too busy to sabotage your night?”
“He had alternative plans. Brad, don’t start and get off my lap because I don’t want any cell phone pictures of us posted on the net.”
Brad shrugged, “Sorry, you never use to be so prim and proper. But, then again you would think after the last few months, I would remember you are trying to climb in the closet.”
“I am not in the closet. I just don’t want any misleading photos surfacing and causing unnecessary fights between Kris and me.”
Brad grimaced, “Do you hear yourself? You are like an abused wife making excuses for a deadbeat. I am worried for you physically, emotionally and sexually. You are losing yourself and alienating your friends. It is unhealthy.” Brad seemed to take a dramatic pause, “I miss you so much, Adam. It’s really hard being apart after we were together so long.” Brad kissed his neck.
Give me a break. Adam knew Brad was fucking with this head to try and keep him from going to Arkansas. “Brad, you were my PA for like a month.”
Brad pouted which usually appealed to Adam but he was surprisingly immune. Brad spoke softly, “I’ve been so excited about you coming to see me and now you are going to Arkansas instead. I thought we would be friends forever but I guess it was just until you decided to fall for a douche bag.”
“I need to make my relationship with Kris a priority. I want to stay friends but we aren’t dating and I am tired of being alone.”
“Is that the problem? Because if so, we can date again.”
“I want more than just dating. I want to be in a committed relationship with someone.”
Brad rolled his eyes, “OK, fine I’ll take you back as a boyfriend.”
As if. Adam knew they would never work since Brad was a serial cheater. Adam laughed, “Brad, you would never stay faithful besides I am in love with Kris.”
Brad stood up, “He doesn’t deserve you, Adam. He is going to keep freaking out and hurting you. I am really scared this trip is going to implode. You are a bigger star than him now, move the fuck on.”
“Stop making a scene and sit down.” Adam waited until Brad sat in the chair next to him, “He is really trying. He is even paying for Nick to come with us when I told him my concerns. Nothing is going to happen.”
“I hope you are taking your bodyguard too. Are you going to dress conservatively to try and fit in with plaid country? That will be so cute when you become as fashionless as him. Just think how convenient it will be when you can travel with one pathetic outfit.”
Adam laughed at the look of horror on Brad’s face when he uttered those words, “First off, I could never be fashionless. Second, I am sure my attire will be the least of his family’s concerns.”
Adam just started talking about Brad’s show and Brad’s life. Luckily, Brad could never resist talking about himself and allowed the conversation to flow into less heated topics. Adam proceeded to get drunk which was not a good thing. Luckily, Nick intervened when Adam started to cave into Brad’s overtures. Adam had been grinding against Brad on the dance floor when Nick cut in. Adam proceeded to grind against Nick for a while. At around one thirty, Nick suggested they go back to the hotel. Adam was horny and realized he only wanted to be with Kris. Brad had tried to coax Adam to stay out longer but was unsuccessful once he remembered Kris was waiting for him. As soon as they got back to the hotel, he went straight to Kris room, praying he would welcome his presence. Kris was sound asleep and looking completely irresistible. Adam climbed in the bed and began to fondle him. Kris awoke and to Adam’s delight, seemed happy to see him. Thank God. Adam was far too drunk to deal with a freak out.
Adam awoke hungover and alone. He noticed Kris’ suitcases on the other bed and smiled that Kris had not kicked him out. He remembered Kris had early interviews and just went back to his room. Nick came in at eleven and told him he had an interview at noon, a meet and greet at two and then they would head to the airport for a five o’clock flight. Adam also learned Nolan was coming with them to Arkansas.
“If Jade asks, just tell her you insisted Nolan tag along. She is pissed about not going and I don’t want to have deal with it.”
Adam looked at Nick, “Are you actually asking me to bail you out of a tricky love situation?”
Nick winked, “This isn’t a love situation. I have been very up front with Jade but like most women she is being unreasonable. Don’t be a prick about this especially when I am going to fucking Arkansas instead of networking in LA.”
Adam smiled, “Think of it as a vacation.”
Nick guided Adam through his media events. The meet and greet ran long so they rushed to the airport. Adam had wanted to tone down but they were not able to go back to the hotel before hitting the airport. Adam went to the VIP lounge and saw Kris sitting playing with his phone. He looked up when they walked in,
“I was beginning to wonder. I thought you were going to change before the flight?”
Adam thought about Brad’s accusations that Kris would try to control his appearance and responded icily, “We ran out of time. Is there a problem?”
Kris looked at Adam and shrugged, “Not for me, I just thought you might be uncomfortable on the flight. I didn’t realize Nolan was coming too.”
“You said it was ok. I thought you bought his ticket. Why are you starting with me?”
Kris looked annoyed but then took a deep breath, “Maybe Jade bought it. Adam, I am not trying to pick a fight with you. I am happy you are coming with me.” Kris kissed Adam on the cheek.
Nick came over, “I just got a text from Jason, Gina’s article hit the streets and apparently she paints both of you in a really bad light.”
Kris nodded, “We knew she would.”
Nick was scrolling through an email on his blackberry and looked at Kris, “She claims everything about you is phony, your marriage to Katy was a sham, you bought Adam’s silence about your homosexuality and that you were planning to use him for publicity when your album tanked. She also says Adam had a boyfriend and you made him choose between him and a career. Of course, Adam being incredibly ambitious dumped his boyfriend to go on tour. She then says your outbursts are because Adam keeps going back to Brad and fucking me. Scott claims he was fired because Adam came on to him and other men on a hiking trip and you became jealous.”
Adam felt nauseous at the lies especially regarding the attempted rape he kept silent about. Plus, Adam worried Kris’ family would read the story and think he was a slut especially since their son keeps calling him one. Adam noticed Kris was also looking pale. Nick just shook his head, “Well, no real surprise there accept maybe the part about Katy. Actually, I was expecting worse.”
They boarded the plane. Kris was subdued. Adam sat next to him and held his hand under the blanket. Adam nodded off for a couple hours and woke with Kris’ head on his shoulder. The flight attendant came by with a cocktail,
“You two are really cute together.”
Adam stiffened, “We are just friends.”
She smiled, “Well you are cute friends. Can I get you anything else, Mr. Lambert?”
“No thanks.” Adam just sat awake wondering what kind of reception he would receive. The pilot came on and said they were starting their descent into Little Rock. Kris woke up and smiled at Adam self consciously as he sat up,
“Sorry about drooling on your shoulder. Are we almost there?”
“Twenty more minutes. Are we taking at taxi to your house?”
Kris laughed, “Nah, either Daniel or my father will pick us up.”
Adam started getting more nervous and it didn’t help seeing Kris fidgeting. Adam squeezed Kris’ hand,
“We can totally just pretend we are only friends. Frankly, I am a little nervous facing your family as your boyfriend.”
Kris smiled sweetly at him, “We’ll play it by ear.”
They landed, got their bags and headed toward the baggage claim. Adam hoped Daniel picked them up. As soon as they exited the secured area, they were met by a few of Kris fans. It was obvious they were not expecting Adam but they seemed to accept it just fine. A couple obnoxious paparazzi asked if they were lovers and a slew of inappropriate questions. Luckily security kicked them out before they could take photos. Adam saw a sweet looking blonde lady and a friendly looking middle aged man headed their way. They immediately hugged Kris warmly and then turned to Adam. The woman spoke before Kris could introduce him.
“Welcome to Arkansas, Adam. We are so happy you came. I am Kim and this is my husband Neil.” Adam put out his hand and Neil shook it warmly and Kim kissed him on the cheek. Adam felt all the tension leave his system seeing the positive reception he received. Perhaps this was going to be a good trip after all.
