Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2001 20:14:28 -0800 (PST) From: christopher burns Subject: Chance Meeting Chapter 5 Here it is, chapter 5, I know it's late but what ya gonna do. Please E-mail me to let me know what you think. The next chapter will be alot more exciting. As usual: This story is purely fiction and is not intended to imply anything about the true sexuality of 'N Sync or anyone associated with their organization. It is meant for those over the age of 18 only and those who wish to read stories with sexual content. I told the cab driver to go; I didn't care where, just to drive. I was in the cab for about fifteen minutes when I looked at the meter and noticed that I only had enough to pay up to that point. I told him to let me out here and paid him my last fifteen dollars. I started to walk. I was confused, excited, hurt, and scared. I have never kissed another guy before, and the fact that I was pushed on him and drunk didn't help the matter. I walked and walked just thinking, I actually walked all night, yet within the first hour of walking, I sobered up as rain began to fall. BACK AT THE CLUB Justin pulled his drunken body off the floor and watched as I ran in the other direction. He then looked at JC and Lance; both had shocked looks on their faces. Justin calmly walked outside to find me. JC and Lance followed. I was nowhere to be seen. " Why did you have to do that, I told you I didn't want him or anyone else to know!" Justin yelled at JC. " I thought I should tell Lance and we figured we would help you two along." JC responded. " Ya, well now look, he's gone, he's probably pissed at me, thanks guys it nice to know your great friends." Justin said as he flagged a cab. " Where you goin?" Lance yelled. " To find him, where do you think I'm goin." Justin yelled as he entered the cab. He then was gone. In search for the man of his dreams. JC and Lance went back into the club to get Chris and Joey. All four of them got in different cabs and went to look for me as well. With the entire band looking for me they would have a better chance at finding me. They all met at Justin's house later that night. With no avail of finding me they all fell asleep over Justin's. The next morning, still walking, I ended at the front of Justin's house. I went the back door, and knocked loudly, hoping someone came home last night. I was wet, cold, exhausted and sick. Lance opened the door and caught my exhausted body as I almost fell to the floor. He then carried me to the couch that he was sleeping on and ran to wake everybody. Once everyone came running down, Lance tried to wake me up, with no avail, I was exhausted. I slept most of the day. All the guys went home while Justin sat at my side. Around four in the afternoon I began to stir. I slowly opened my eyes; there in front of me stood an angel. Justin was standing there just looking at me. " It's about time you woke up sleepy-head." Justin said. " Ya well you didn't walk around all night in the pouring rain, and didn't get any sleep." " Ahh poor baby." " So how you feeling?" " OK, a little cold and still wet, overall sick." I answered. I jumped up off the couch and started to the bathroom. There I threw up and held on the toilet for life. As I hurled Justin came in with a glass of water, a warm washcloth, and some paper towels for me. I was bad. Justin laid them on the counter and quietly left the bathroom, wondering if I was mad at him. After my shower I was feeling much better. I shaved and got all ready to confront Justin. WHILE I WAS IN THE SHOWER 'What am I going to say' Justin thought to himself. He didn't know who to call or even whom to ask. He thought long and hard and he came up with one answer 'His Priest'. So he ran into the kitchen and left a note stating that he had to get some fresh air and clear out his mind. And he was gone. I finished getting ready and headed downstairs to see Justin, but I was confronted with a note. ' Dear Scott, I will be back in a bit, I have to go somewhere to clear my head, I will be back soon.' Tears began to roll down my face, I decided that then and there I would not be able to comfort him, he was mad about what happened last night, he didn't want to actually see me, wow was I stupid. I gathered my cloths and called a cab and headed for the airport. As I was walking out of the house I was confronted with Lance. "Hey Scott, where you going in a hurry?" " O, hey Lance, I am off to New York, my manager called me a few days ago to get started on the new catalog for the Christmas edition." " O, I see, well is Justin home?" " No he just left to go to the store, he said he would be back in a few." " Ok, I will just wait here for him, see ya around." " See ya Lance." And I was off, I hated lying to Lance like that but I had no other choice. I got to the airport changed my flight days around and I was off, with Justin left in my past. " Hey Justin where have you been?" Lance asked as Justin came through the door. " O, hey Lance I was at Church, had some things to clear up." " Church? Scott said you went to the store." " What, where is he anyways?" " He said he was going to New York today and that he would see me around." " O no, FUCK!!!!" Justin ran into the kitchen to find another letter placed next to his own. ' dear Justin, I know how you must feel after all that has happened. I am sorry about last night. I wish things could be different, but that isn't my decision. Thanks for all you have given me, when I get some money together I will donate it to your foundation to repay you, thanks again, Scott'. Justin fell to the floor and grabbed his knees and started to sob. Lance came in the kitchen read the note and began to comfort Justin. Then the door opened, it was JC. " Hey what's the matter?" Lance handed him the notes and JC read over them. " Lets go, this has got to stop!" JC yelled. JC grabbed Lance and Justin and drug them outside to his jeep. They all got in and JC began to tell Justin everything. After JC was done Justin didn't have tears in his eyes but a smile on his face. He now knew the whole story and that I really liked him. Yet that was replaced with fear that he would never see me again. They got tot he airport and found that my flight had just left. The three guys got back into the jeep and headed home. JC dropped Lance and Justin off and headed home himself. He still had to get packed, because tomorrow they too would be heading to New York. Once home Justin began how think how he could find Scott in the Big Apple. He thought the rest of the day and came to only one answer, he would have to either find where the shoot was being done, or he would have to say something on the TV to let Scott know his true emotions. The next day was a busy one for the guys, while on their way to the airport Justin was flipping through a phone book looking for some number. "What number are you looking for Just?" Chris asked. " I don't even know, how would I find where they are shooting that catalog for Abercrombie?" " Call Mel up, I'm sure she could find out." Joey blurted out. " Good idea Joe, thanks." A few hours later Justin had a number, yet it still had to be seen if they would tell him where they were shooting it. " Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me where they are shooting the new Catalog?" " I'm sorry sir we do not give that place out to anyone?" The woman on the other line stated. " Well I am looking for a friend of mine that is modeling in it, and my name is Justin Timberlake, of N'sync. Could you tell me now?" " I'm sorry sir we do not give that information out, even to so called Justin Timberlake's." The woman snickered over the phone and hung up. Justin was pissed, he couldn't figure out how he was going to find Scott in New York. The flight to New York was pretty uneventful, besides for an aggravated Justin. JC and Lance tried to talk to him, but he just ignored their comments. In New York the guys went to their rehearsal, and during their break Justin came up with his last option, he would try to contact Bode. After fifteen minutes on the phone with the Orlando area directory he was given the number. He dialed the number and preyed. " Hello!" " Bode?" "Ya, who's this,?" " Justin Timberlake, Scott's friend." " O, hey what's up?" " Didn't think I would be hearing from you anytime soon." " Well I was wondering where is Scott shooting that catalog in New York this week?" " O, sorry dude, I don't know, he didn't tell me, their pretty hush, hush about that." " DAM!" " Why are you looking for Scott?" " Ahh, I was in New York and I thought we could get together for lunch of something." " I see, why don't you try his cell, he always has it." " O ya good idea, do you have that number?" " Ya, its 567-789-1344." " Got it, thanks Bode, I owe ya one." " Any time, see ya around." After his short conversation with Bode Justin hurried to dial the number. "Ring....Ring......Ring......" "Hello" " Scott?" " No, he's shooting right now, is this Cotter?" " Ahh Ya, this is his older brother Cotter." " Hey man, what's up, this is Johnny." " O hey Jon what's up with you, I'm good." " O nothing much, how's the whole Lawyer thing going?" " Great, Great, about my bro is he around?" " No, Why?" " Well I got in town early and I wanted to take him to lunch." " O, well he should be done soon, do you want me to give him a message?" " Ya, tell him to meet me at Planet Hollywood for lunch at two, it's important." " Will do Cotter, talk to ya later." Justin felt bad lying to that poor guy and to Scott but he couldn't just say whom it was, Scott might have not met him if he knew whom it really was. At two Justin got out of rehearsal and headed to Planet Hollywood. There across the street was Scott. Justin pulled his hat down lower on his face and adjusted his sunglasses. As he approached Scott all that kept going though his mind was what was he going to say or do. ' Keep it together Justin'. He thought to himself. " Scott!" " Ya, I'm Scott." Scott turned around. " Justin is that you?" " Ya, it's me." " How did you know I would be here?" " I called Bode, and he gave me your cell number, I called it and told whoever answered that I was your older brother. I had to see you." " Ok well you see me." " Can we go inside and get something to eat?" " Ok, I am hungry." We walked inside and were seated in an exclusive corner of the restaurant. We sat and ordered some drinks. " So how have you been?" Justin asked. " Ok, just got done with a photo shoot, how bout you?" " Good, just got done with a rehearsal for TRL?" The questions were too simple; the time would have to come when the question would have to be brought up. It would be Justin who would bring it up. " Why did you leave the other day, I wanted to talk about some stuff?" " When I read your note that said you went to clear your mind, I figured that I should just go and forget about all that happened the other night." " Did you ever think that we should have talked about what happened that night?" " It won't make any difference. We both know that Justin, I don't want to lose what friendship we had." " Did you want what happened the other night to happen?" " I can't answer that Justin, it will change everything that we have as friends." At that point tears began to form in my eyes. I couldn't hold them back. Here I am almost ready to tell one of the biggest celeb's that I have a crush on him. " Well I can answer it for you." Just then a little girl came running over as well as another thirty odd girls behind her, wanting autographs. Justin sighed and started to sign away. After the first ten he decided it was time to go. We both stood and walked out into the streets. We started to walk and all of a sudden Justin threw me into an alley and pressed his lips to mine, never wavering. His lips felt so soft, tender, and moist; the taste was like candy; my feet began to give as well as my legs. Then we broke apart. " I'm sorry Scott I just had to do that." Justin stated. " Does that answer the question?" " Justin, I know that we are friends but what Bode told you about this James guy..." " Stop! I know the whole story." Justin answered. " You do?" " Ya, JC told me and Lance about the whole thing that happened." " And you're ok with it, because if you didn't want to see me anymore I would understand." Just then Justin leaned forward and planted another kiss on my lips. Now I was confused. We broke apart again. " Scott, I don't know truly how you feel, but I do know how I feel, and I would like to try and make this work." " Justin, from the moment I met you I wanted this, but I just wanted to let you know that I have never had a relationship with another guy before. I mean I know I'm gay, but I never did anything about it." " I'm the same way. Because of you I want too try it. You make me happy every time I am with you." " Ok then, Justin Timberlake would you like to go out with me tonight?" " On a real date, I would be honored Mr. Burns." It was settled. I mean here I am walking down the street with Justin. It was amazing. We walked to the hotel that he was staying at and there I told him that I should go back to my own hotel and get ready for tonight. We agreed, and went our separate ways. I went back to my hotel room gleaming. I had a real date with Justin Timberlake. I went and took a shower, shaved, and did my hair. Then I ironed some nice slacks that Justin had bought me and a button down shirt. After about two hours of getting ready I headed down to the corner where he was going to meet me. I got there about fifteen minutes early and waited. And waited. Finally about a half hour late a limo pulled up besides me. The window rolled down and by blond haired, blue-eyed beau poked his head out and apologized for being late. His excuse, ' he didn't know what to wear'. I got in and we headed to some small restaurant across New York. We arrived and were seated in a secluded section in the far back. " So what do you think?" Justin asked. " This is perfect!" I said with a glimmer in my eye. " So, did you tell the guys that you found me?" I asked. " No, not yet. I was too excited about tonight that I didn't even go tell them I was going out." " HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" I laughed. The waiter came over to the table and asked us what we wanted to drink, while we looked at our menus. " Ahh, we will have..........." Justin said as he spoke into the waiter's ear. " What was that all about?" I asked. " Ahh, something special for our first date, they take care of me here." " Ohh, I see." The waiter returned with two glasses, and a bottle of campaign. That looked like it cost a lot of money. He then proceeded to pour our two glasses. Then he left. " A toast, to our new friendship and love, may it last till the end of eternity!" Justin hailed, as he lifted his glass. " Cheers!" We said in unison as we tapped our glasses together. " Scott?" " Ya." " In a week we begin to train for our upcoming tour." " O ya, wow it must be so fun to see all those places that you go to and meet all interesting people." " Ya, but there is also the hour long rehearsals, interviews, meet and greets, and all other kind of time consuming stuff." " O ya, it must be hard." " It is, and its kind of lonely, I mean I love the guys but it gets lonely." " I hear ya, believe me, when I first moved here it was real lonely, but then I met you guys and Bode." " Scott, what I am trying to say is that I want you to come with me and the guys on tour. I talked to them about it and they were ecstatic. They hope you say yes." " Justin......WOW..... That's a great offer, but won't it look obvious to everyone that we were together?" " That's why we are going to Johnny and telling him we need a personal trainer and that we have someone in mind. You would be paid and you could be with me all the time." " Wow. If that's what you want, I don't want to rush things." " No, I'm not losing you again."
