Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2000 12:27:41 -0400 (EDT) From: Angel & Author_Clive Subject: If Only You Knew Chapter 2 Well what can I say? This is the second chapter. I know it was a long time in the making, but I think that it'll be worth it. As usual I have a couple of shout outs to give. First and foremost goes to Tommie. Thanks. You know for what. Clive, what can I say? Henry, you're great man. Chris, babe, I've already said it all to you. I hope that you enjoy the story. Angel ~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~ I would like to take this opportunity to say that you can find this story and other stories by myself, Angel and other authors on my website and it will be updated weekly (addy at bottom of page). Finally this part of the story written by me is going out to someone special. This is for you Tommie. Clive ~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~ Anyway, you guys know the rules. If you're not of age then don't read. If it's illegal for you to read then don't. If it's against you religion then either don't read it or get a new religion! :p Also this story in no way implies that any member of NSYNC is gay. It's just how we made the story out to be. If Only You Knew Chapter Two: Surprise by Angel & Clive The next day came all to soon for Clive's liking... he had been out of it from the time that he had landed at the airport but hadn't wanted to say anything to Angel especially as it was his first time in America and the other small fact that he had only just met up with the person that he had come to call one of his closest friends. In fact the two of them were so close that a lot of people asked them if they were brothers on more than one occasion when they were chatting in one of those IRC channels. So as it was nine in the morning Clive started to stir from his slumber he could only day dream from this point on in the day what it would be like to spend the whole day in bed and inevitably the thought of spending that day in bed with someone else took over his thoughts like many other times before. Sitting upright in the bed Clive began so stretch and reach for the sky and in response a surrounding popping of his lower and upper vertebrae rang loud, and he knew that that was a sign that he mad been to comfortable to even move one bit in his sleep, 'this is going to be a good day' he thought to himself as he forced himself further back up the bed so that he was now sitting with his back against he massive wooden headboard. "You awake yet?" Angel quietly questioned as he made his way into the dimly lit room. "Yep... just. How long you been up?" Clive returned still slightly tired but as time went on waking up more and more. "Not long. So what do you want for breakfast? I thought we would order in!" and not wanting to add that by the look of him Clive wasn't quite up to going down to the restaurants at the point Angel thought eating up in the room was the best course of action. "just fruit for me thanks, got to watch the figure" Clive said as he ran his hands through his hair to try and fix it after all he didn't look his best at this part of the day. "Ha... I'm watching it but if you ask me it's not all that impressive. Man you need to cut down on all that junk food" but Angel didn't say this with a hard tone, instead it was a friendly comebackwhich in all honesty both of the men knew was a simple witical comment. "Whatever, I am in tip top shape thank you. Any waz I still do swimming everyday for 3 hours that is how I keep myself looking so good!" Clive rebutted playing along with the joke and adding an air of sophistication with his British accent. "Whatever, we know that's all you Brits are good for. Well besides looking down your noses! I'll go order" Angel laughed it off as he made his way back to his room to order the breakfast. As Angel made his exit Clive reached over to the night stand and picked up the remote control for the 36" wide screen TV that sat in the corner of the room. Screening the channels for anything of interest he decided to stop on the well know MTV channels. Several minutes passed by with nothing of great interest, the odd bit or R&B came on and the same old same old bubble gum pop was shown. But what got his attention was the interview that they were going to be featuring in less than 10 minutes according to the clock that also sat on the night stand where the remote had been. Thinking to himself that he had to see that interview he decided that now was the best time to get himself up and start to get ready for the day to come. The next 10 mins flew by as he went through his clothes and decided on what he was going to wear and what after shave he was going to put on. In fact he spent so much time in selecting the perfect look that he hadn't even got dressed when the start of the interview came on. Out in the main living area Angel could hear the TV blasting from Clive's room and had to smile inwardly when he heard the begging of the of an interview which they had been showing for the last few weeks... and even Angel has spent a few hours watching that interview over and over again not because Carlson Daylie was the host but because of one individual out of a group of five took is breath away at the mere thought of him. Mind you it wasn't only Angel that had a thing for Nsync he had know for years that Clive had a 'thing' for JC and that is what made the surprise that he had in store for Clive almost a god send. The interview lasted twenty minutes and by that time Clive had finished getting dressed and all done up for the day. As he emerged from his room he met Angel and a tray of food that had been waiting for near 5 minutes. "Right I'm good to go now bud, so what are we doing today?" Clive asked as he re-arranged is collar on his shirt. "And what makes you think that I have anything planned for today?" but knowing that he had more in store for Clive than he could imagine. "Because I know you better than you know yourself babe" Clive quickly shot back causing Angel to just shake off the comment. "True to true. Well you said you wanted to do that Disney thang while you were here and as it happens Nsync will be there signing later on" "You sold it to me... when we leave?" sounding like a child he ran up to Angel and began pulling on his friends jacket in an annoying manner as if to get his attention. "After you've had that..." and playing along Angel responded in an adult like tone. "I'll have it later... can we go now. Please?" still sounding childlike but now pleading Clive attempted to make eye contact with Angel as he dropped to his knees in a begging fashion. "You know JC will wait for ya!" Angel just shook his head. "Whatever..." Clive started to say as he stood up but was interrupted by Angel. "Again with the whatever's..." and this time Angel was cut up by Clive who was no back to his feet. "Well I know you wanna see Justin so come on let get out of here!" this time there was no pleading in his voice Clive just turned and grabbed onto his friends sleeve and started to pull him out towards the door. Angel shook his arm loose and explained he needed just a min to get his self ready and then they would head out to see if they could get a least a glimpse of the group. But all the time knowing more than he was sharing with his British bud. Both of the men got there selves looking presentable, or at least enough for a trip to a theme park. ~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~ "I can't believe that management are getting us to do some friggin' meet and greet sign'in thang on our one day off! I mean were suppose to get a least 1 day every 2 weeks off right? I mean it's in the contracts isn't it?" Chris sounded pissed as he looked over to Lance. After all it was Lance that knew most about the business side wasn't it, he knew their contracts inside out. "Prob is that you and Joey had time off last week Chris, you remember you went home." "Ahh come on that was an emergency, they can't count that can they?" Chris' tone was pissy and questioning at the same time. "Fraid so bro... and they have done it," Lance stated with a tilt of the head, "but look up on the bright side we doin' it at Disney and it is only for half the day.""Still..." Joey started this time "Still nothing Joey we don't have an option so lets just do it." JC stepped into the conversation and at the same time bringing it to a close. After all when JC spoke he did it with an air of authority, like a father figure (even though Chris was 4 years older than him JC was the one that everybody looked to when things didn't go as planned). The five guys got all there stuff together and started to make there way to the park, the goup were escorted by their own security team as well the agreed support that would be at the park at the other end. Through out the whole journey (which took near an hour) Chris was bitching about the who working thang but then like JC had mentioned earlier there wasn't a thing he or any other one of the group could do about it. "Hey Lance ain't we picking up some new baggage today?" Justin questoined looking over at the older man. "Urmm yeah your right Curly, got to say I am impressed you remembered." Lance replied looking at JC with a questioning look as if to say and how did he actually remember! "Hey don't look at me Lansten I didn't say nada to the freek. He must have been listening to one of our meetings for once!" and at that the group broke out into laughter all except Justin, but then that was becuase he was the reason they were laughing. "So what we picking up?"Joey thought he would take up the line of questioning "Two pieces I think, don't worry about it though managment has got it all sorted." was all Lance wanted to say before leaving, hoping that the others would leave it at that which they did. ~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~ "So you going to tell me?" Clive questioned as he turned to face his friend whilst they were walking towards the entrance of the park. "Pardon moi?" Angel acted with all his effort as if he hadn't a clue what Clive was on about. "I said are you going to tell me what you're up to?" this time there was a hint of annoyance in his voice. "Bro... you know if I had anything I wanted to tell you, then I would." This statement caused Clive to just shake his head in mock anger as it was clear that Angel was dancing around the question. Yeah sure if he has something he 'wanted' to tell me he would but why isn't he telling me was all that Clive was thinking. But all thoughts about what Angel was hidding from him dissapeared when they made it to the entrance, it was almost a dream come true. The idea not that they were going into the world famous park but the fact that if they were lucky they might just get to meet the group that both of them idolised. "So you ready to meet the guys?" Angel questioned his friend whith a quick sharp motion of his head. Clive's gaze followed the direction Angel has just pointed him in and there larger than life was none othere than the five members of Nsync. Clive could see their PR manager setting up stuff and a whole hord of screaming fans rushing around trying to get the attention of the waiting guys at the back. It looked as if the meet and greet hadn't actually started and Clive could just make out what the guys were doing in the mean time. JC and Justin were playing a card game by the looks of it. Lance was on the mobile phone whilst both Joey and Chris were talking to each other. From the looks of it neither Chris no Joey were in a good mood over the fact that they were there. Both sat with stern look to their faces and every now and again would look over to the PR and the assitant and make some comment abou this or that. All the looks though dissapeard when the PR assitant when over to the guys and they all made their way over to meeting table. "Yo Clive you there man?" "Say what?" "I said are you with me bud.. you were kinda 'out' of it there for a sec. Wouldn't have anything to being so close to JC" Angel pushed the last part where he said JC's name in a teenage school girl type of voice. "Screw your self..." was all Clive said before breaking into laughter as he watched his friend pout in mock anger and hurt as Clive had done earlier on. "Ahh but with Justin so close, where would the fun of that be!" Angel turned on his heals and started to make his way towards the screaming crowd, "are you gonna come meet 'em or are you just going to hang by there on your own?" Clive caught up with Angel and the two of them stopped when they hit the back of the line. "Fuck this, I ain't waiting to see them!" was all Angel said and as he said that the other turned to him and looked at him in horror! "You mean you are just gonna leave?" "Did I say that?" this was met with a confused look on Clive's face. "Come with me you and you'll see" Angel couldn't control the smile that was getting every apparent. ~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~ Emily the PR assistant walked up to Lance and explained that John (the PR) wanted them to meet with two get the 'lugage' and at that point handed Lance an envolope."Hey Lance what's that you got?" "Info on the lugage... John said it will be here shortly and he wants us to set up the stuff." "'k' you want me to do it? you got a load of stuff on with all those girls" JC pointed across the other side of the table to the left where the girls were slowly making their way (and slowly is the honest truth) from Justin to Chris. They hadn't made it to Joey yet then it was Lance and finally it wasJC. "Thanks Josh, here you go... Emily said that it was here so it shouldn't be too long." ~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~ "So what's the plan then bud... you just going to go up to them and talk to them?" "Would I do a thing like that bro?" Angel asked with a smile on his face. Clive pretended to think for a minute, then answered "Of course you would." "Oh shut up and follow me." The two of them made there way to the other end of the table and before they were stopped by security Angel has made it to JC and started talking to him. Clive couldn't believe that his friend would have the balls to actually just do that. If not for the fact that their security guard who was by JC's side now was kinda... 'large'. But even though he was expecting Angel to get heaved out of the way he didn't. Instead Angel waved him over... he couldn't believe it. 'Oh My God Im going to meet JC....' was all that occupied Clive's thoughts as he walked over to the group of ppl around Angel now. "Hi my name is JC..." Clive didn't catch the rest he was to absorbed with the fact that JC was actually talking HIM. The next thing that that Clive registered was the fact that JC was handing each of them an envolope. "Errm what's this?" was all that Clive could come up with, and that was after putting alot of effort into it. "Just open it and see" This response came from Angel and now Clive could see his friend beaming a smile and he knew something was up...TBC... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Finally Contact info.
