Date: Mon, 27 May 2002 20:34:45 -0700 (PDT) From: AJ Shukla Subject: Josh and Just 59 ***HEY GUYS!!! Well here you go. Sorry it took so long! Well have fun reading and e-mail is always welcome. Happy Reading. Josh and Just 59 "Mom, I'm just so tired. I mean I'm sleeping as much as Josh does. I'm even starting to fall asleep like him everywhere." Justin said into his cell phone. He looked over at JC who was already asleep. It has been ten minutes since they left the hotel for the airport, and already he was snoozing against the window. "Justin. Let me tell you one thing about my son. When it comes to sleep he can never get enough. He will sleep for days if he could." Karen laughed happily. "Well Mom, he's pretty beat too. I mean we all are really tired. Today we are heading to San Francisco and are going to hang out there for a week. So maybe we can catch up on sleep. But we'll see. So how are the rugrats doing?" Justin asked, snuggling in closer to the warmth of JC's body. JC awoke and wrapped his arms around Justin before falling asleep once again. "They are doing fine. Amy has a bit of a cold. And Ben's talking up a storm. He has names for everything. He calls your father `ranpa.' It is just too cute." Karen informed. "Tell them I miss them. They are probably napping now huh?" Justin asked, laying his head on JC's puffy jacket. "Yeah. And Grandpa decided to nap with them. Tyler's coming home today, so he will keep them company tomorrow." Karen alerted. "Hey Mom, has Tyler found a girlfriend yet?" Justin questioned. He used his free hand to brush a curl back into place before glancing up at Chris who was sitting in the front seat of the van eating a sandwich he picked up from Subway. Justin watched Chris as he cracked open his bag of chips. He let out a small whistle to get Chris's attention. Chris turned and viewed Justin before holding out his arm with the chips. Justin took one and smiled in appreciation. "Well Justin, I don't know. I would think that you would know more than me. Has he talked to you about it?" Karen asked. "Kinda, I mean he says that he would like to be with someone, but he never actually finds someone. I'm thinking of hooking him up with someone." Justin suggested. "Would I approve of this girl?" Karen asked. "I dunno. Maybe one of our back up dancers." Justin shrugged. "Well Justin, I'm going to leave the girls up to you." Karen sighed. "Will do Mom." Justin laughed. "Okay Justin. I will leave you to go then. Have a good time and get some sleep on the plane." Karen said. "Okay Mom, Bye." Justin stated before turning off his phone. As he turned off the phone, they reached the airport. Justin shook JC awake and leaned back to shake Lance's knee. Lance awoke and gave Justin a small smile. "We're here." Joey announced. "Thank you San Francisco!!! I hope you enjoyed the show. We certainly enjoyed performing." Chris stated to the audience. "But now we are off to get cleaned up and off to bed. So once again, thank you and have a good night." Justin stated. The five guys began to walk off the stage to the music and flashing lights. JC took Justin's hand and walked by his side off stage where someone handed all of them towels. They were rushed into their dressing room where they saw Wade hanging out on the couch while flipping through a magazine. "Well men, that was a great show." Wade announced as the guys went about the room. "Justin and I, call the shower first!!" JC trumpeted. "No fair! You guys are going to take forever in their. I mean I know you'll be doing more than washing!" Chris bellowed. "You guys we have Post Meet and Greet in ten minutes. No one will do anything in the shower." Justin said, grabbing his towel and shucking his shirt. "Will someone go take a shower! We're wasting valuable time!!!" Joey rushed. "You guys! Your opening acts have two showers which they have long used while you were performing. If you ask them nicely, then maybe they will let you use it." Wade claimed, flipping the page on his magazine. "I call it!!!" Chris and Joey announced. They rushed out of the room to go use the shower. Justin and JC were already in the small bathroom under the stream of water while Lance sat with Wade. Once they were done, Lance rushed in and started to wash up. Justin had changed into his pajamas which JC had gotten him for Valentine's day. The silky shirt shimmered in the light while the embroidered letters stood out. JC wore a pair of pajama pants and a light blue basketball jersey with `Timberlake' written across the back. He saw Justin inhabiting a couch all by himself. He collapsed onto the couch with his head in Justin's lap. Justin started to subconsciously slide his fingers through his husband's hair. JC closed his eyes and relaxed in the proximity of his husband. "So Wade, how is my brother-in-laws best friend doing?" Justin questioned softly. "Matt is doing fine. I mean he's stressed with classes and stuff. But we try to talk at least every other day." Wade nodded. "Good to hear." Justin nodded. "Hey, do you know what our plans are for tomorrow?" Chris asked, walking in, wrapped in a robe. As soon as the door closed behind him, he let loose the robe and walked to his bag shirtless. He threw on a sweatshirt and stuffed his robe inside. "I don't know. JC and I are going to meet up with some friends. Do you want to join?" Justin questioned. "Who?" Chris asked. "Ryan and Reese." Justin responded, looking down at JC who was close to falling asleep. Justin lifted his hand and smacked JC's forehead, causing the man to wakeup with a start. He blinked into realization before glancing at Justin. "Thanks, I was about to nod off." JC mumble before closing his eyes again. "No problem, Sweetie. Any time." Justin snickered. "Yeah I think I'll join you." Chris nodded. "Join what? I want to join!" Lance said, walking out of the bathroom in a towel and a T-shirt. "We're doing something with Reese and Ryan tomorrow and Chris is coming. You game?" Justin asked. "I'm game." Lance nodded, slipping on a pair of windbreaker pants. "I'm game too!" Joey announced, walking through the door, fully clothed and wet haired. "Okay. I'll let you know tomorrow what we're gonna do." Justin sighed. They all heard a rap on the door, which sent them all to seats on two couches while leaving the third one empty for the fans The sofas made a U around the coffee table that was littered with magazines and bowls of food. Lance took a seat under JC's legs. JC sighed and sat up , sitting between Justin and Lance. JC snuggled up to Justin, wrapping both arms around him. Justin moved so that JC sat in the corner of the seat while Justin leaned into him. "Come in!" Joey sighed, sitting next to Chris on the couch with Wade. "Hey guys, we have four shifts of fans, four at a time. Can we send in the first batch?" the woman asked. Justin nodded sending the woman out. The next thing they knew, four teenagers came walking through the door. Two guys and two girls. They were about their late teens, still in high school. They guys held a girls hand. Obviously two couples. "Oh My God! It's N Sync!!!" One girl said ecstatically. "Oh My God! It's. . ." Joey trailed off, expecting them fill in their names. "I'm Cynthia, and this is my boyfriend Joey. And this is Lavina and her boyfriend Joey." Cynthia explained. "Well that's Chris and Wade. And this is JC. I'm Justin and this is our Joey." Justin snickered. The girls giggled while the guys gave small smirks. "Have a seat." Joey invited happily. "Wow. I can't believe that you guys are here!!! I mean I know you're here! But I never knew. . . " And the chatter began. The guys sat through three sessions of this. The first was of course, the two girls and their two Joey's. The second was a group of four girls who claimed to be best friends, yet bickered most of the time over who got to ask the question. The third group, was four guys who won the passes through a radio contest and didn't want to be there at all. They came and sat around and talked about Britney the whole time, which irked Lance to the point of emotional frustration. "Okay you guys. One more." Justin sighed. He curled up to JC tighter and rested his head on JC's shoulder. "It's okay sweetheart. One more and then we'll head straight to the hotel." JC whispered. Justin let out a small yawn and nodded. "It better not be another group of jackasses gawking over Brit." Lance mumbled. Justin cracked a smile as Chris and Joey let out a series of laughs. Justin looked at JC and noted the signs of him falling asleep. "Okay everyone, last group." The woman said with a smile. Two guys walked in, carefully looking after a younger boy. "Hi. I'm Justin. This is JC. Lance. Chris. And Joey. And that there is Wade." Justin introduced. Both older guys waited until their brother was comfortably seated before sitting themselves. "Hi. I'm Blake. This is my boyfriend Trent and this is my kid brother, Kirk." Blake introduced. There was a strong silence in the room. Neither party choosing to speak first. Blake looked up to the group and watched them stare back at them. "Well I guess I should explain. My brother has cancer. And well through the Make A Wish Foundation, he has chosen to come to your concert and meet you." Blake summarized. "Oh wow." Chris stated. "Why did you come and choose us Kirk? We're not really that special. I mean you should have used your wish to see the President. . . or Tom Cruise or something." Lance smiled. Kirk laughed a bit and looked at Blake. Blake merely gave a small nod of permission. "You guys are my role models." Kirk said shyly. "How old are you Kirk?" JC questioned quietly. "Ten." Kirk responded. "Why didn't your parents come with you?" Justin asked with a small smile. Kirk looked down at the table with a small frown. Justin looked to Blake and Trent for an explanation. "Our parents died a couple of years ago. Kirk lives with me and Trent when he can, but if something comes up, he usually stays with an aunt of ours." Blake explained. Justin's smile faded and gazed sadly at the young boy. "You know, your wish was a waste. You only get to see one performance and meet us for ten minutes. I think you should hang with us a little more." Joey responded. "Yeah, let me give you my cell number and why don't you give us a call tomorrow. And maybe sometime this week, we can head out and do something together." Justin said, pulling out a card with his cell number on it from his pocket. He handed it to Blake who gladly took it and pressed it into his pocket. "If so, it has to be in the next three days. We're going back to Florida." Trent alerted. "Where in Florida do you live?" Lance asked. "St. Augustine." Gary responded. "We live about an hour, hour and a half away from there." Justin snickered. "Hey Kirk. Now that you have met us, what's the next wish you want fulfilled." JC asked. "I want to meet Ben and Amy. My friends dared me to get a picture with them." Kirk smiled. JC and Justin looked at one another and looked back at the boy. "Well kiddo, that might be a problem. You see, Ben and Amy are at home in Bowie with Josh's parents." Justin responded I a somber tone. "But how about we give you a picture of them and we'll sign the back for your friends to see, and when we get back to Florida we can hook up and take an actual picture." JC suggested. Justin hopped up and grabbed JC's backpack. He pulled out a recently developed role of pictures and brought them back to the couch, After taking a seat with JC, he started to sift through the pictures; flipping past causal pictures of Lance sleeping in the hammock, Joey wrestling with the dogs, or Chris nuzzling Sarah. He finally came across a picture of JC leaning down between both children who stood, smiling brightly at the camera. JC had a cheesy smile which always made Justin laugh. "Here you go." Justin said. He took a pen out from the bag and scrawled something on the back. He handed the picture to Kirk. "I'm sorry guys. But N Sync has to be moving along. They have a busy schedule to meet." The woman at the door mentioned. With that everyone stood up and shuffled out. "Bye Kirk. Give us a call okay." Justin said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Okay Bye Everyone." Kirk smiled. "Grandma!!! I can't find my camera. Teddy is coming over any second for our date and I can't find my camera!!!" Amy screeched as she tossed shirts and pants across her room. The thirteen year old girl let out a sigh of defeat and rushed out of her room and down the stairs. "You look nice Ames." Ben commented as he sat on the couch with Grandpa Roy watching a football game. Roy had his arm around his grandson and was intently watching the game. Once Amy entered the room, he looked toward her and smiled. "There is my beautiful granddaughter." Roy mentioned. "Grandpa? Have you seen my camera?" Amy questioned. "Sorry Princess, maybe your Uncle Tyler has. He's in the kitchen." Roy directed. " Uncle Tyler!!" Amy called as she entered the kitchen. She found her uncle standing next to Karen in the kitchen, while leaning against the counter. "Yeah Amers?" Tyler asked. "Have you seen my camera?" Amy asked. "I haven't." Tyler responded, leaning down to press a small kiss on the girl's cheek. "Why do you need a camera Amy?" Karen asked, wiping her hands on a dishtowel. "Grandma, this is my first date and since Daddy and Papa couldn't be here, Daddy told me to take pictures of us and of Teddy and then e-mail them to him. But I can't find my camera and Daddy's gonna be mad." Amy said in frustration. Tyler wrapped his niece in a tight hug and calmed her down. "Don't worry Amy, your Dad or Papa won't be pissed. . . er. . .angry at all. And we can always take pictures of your second date and send it to them." Tyler reassured. "Yeah. . . I guess. I just wished they would be here." Amy sighed as she walked into the living room. "Amy! Look! It's Dad and Pops!" Ben said pointing to the television. The screen showed the five men of N Sync stepping out of the limo onto the red carpet of another award show. The fans screamed and hollered for them. Justin and JC stepped out holding hands and waving at their fans. "Papa chose some ugly pants to wear." Amy commented, seeing JC's zebra print pants. "Dad just gave the signal!" Ben shouted as he pointed to a shot of Justin tugging on his ear. "Maybe Dad has my camera." Amy sighed. Justin awoke abruptly. He sat up in bed and released a series of pants. His bare upper torso hit the cool spring air that San Francisco offered. His eyes adjusted to the darkness of the room, sending a familiarity over him. He rested in his room of a suite in the Palomar Hotel. He looked down next to himself and saw JC curled up and unfazed with a hand resting on Justin's lower abs. He let out a final sigh and gazed at the clock. It was just about almost four o'clock. He gently moved himself out of bed. After pressing a kiss on JC's cheek, he took a hold of his cell phone, resting on the dresser. He stepped out of his room in the common living room the rooms of the suite shared. Justin grabbed Lance's robe which was laying on the chair and slipped it on. He walked out onto the balcony and took a seat on the wicker bench. He leaned back against the cushions and dialed a number quickly. After the first ring, the phone was answered. "Hello?" Came a chipper voice. "Hey Mom." Justin responded. "Justin! Aren't you in San Francisco?" Karen questioned. "Yeah." Justin answered. "Good heavens! It must be about four there. Why are you up at this time?" Karen questioned. "I wanted to see how the kids are." Justin explained. "Oh they are just fine. Amy got up, when Me and Roy woke up for the morning. And Ben is still sound asleep." Karen said. "Are they talking up a storm?" Justin questioned. "Amy keep chattering and Ben keeps responding. It's like they are speaking in their own language. And the two words I can understand are papa and dada." Karen chuckled. Justin gazed towards the door when he heard the sound it creaking open. He caught sight of a groggy and half nude JC walking out onto the balcony. JC rubbed the sleep from his eyes while his hair was disheveled every which way. His boxer briefs clung to his tight muscled legs. JC silently took a seat on the bench and pressed a simple kiss on Justin's cheek. He eased back in the bench and wrapped his arms around Justin's waist. "I miss them Mom." Justin sighed. "I know Sweetheart. I know. But you only have three more weeks until you will meet up with them in Texas." Karen reassured. "I know. Well I better let you go and get ready. Tell Dad I said hi. And Josh says hi to both of you." Justin commented, turning to look at JC who was fast asleep with his arms around Justin. "Bye sweetie." Karen said, ending the conversation. Justin turned off his phone and leaned back against JC. JC let out a small mumble before molding himself around Justin. Justin closed his eyes to the night sky. "Why'd you get up so early?" JC asked. "I missed the kids." Justin replied softly. "Hmmm. . .I miss them too." JC added. Justin turned and nuzzled JC's neck. Justin ran his hand over JC's stomach and stopped when the feeling of bumps forming of JC's tight flesh. "Josh, you have goose bumps. Let's go inside and head to sleep." Justin suggested. JC groggily complied and followed Justin back inside. Justin took off Lance's robe and placed it back on the chair. He went into their room and took his spot, as did JC. JC spooned up to Justin from behind and placed an arm around Justin, pulling him close. Justin took a deep breath and released. A small child crawled on the bed, making her way up the two bodies that lay nuzzled together. She gently started to pat the younger blonde's head with a giant grin on her own face. "Dada." She commented as she patted the man's head. Justin opened his eyes the incessant patting and turned to see a toddler tapping his head. "Ugh Josh?" Justin questioned. "Hmmm?" JC responded. "There is a baby on me and it's not mine." Justin said, laying on his back so that the toddler was seated now on his stomach. JC popped up and looked down in his state of weariness at the child. "Who are you?" JC asked the baby frantically. The baby smiled at JC and looked back toward the door. Justin and JC followed her gaze to where Ryan and Reese stood with wide grins. "I hate you both for ruining my sleep. Come on Ava you can come to bed too." Justin said laying down and putting an arm around the girl who was now laying on his chest. JC snickered and got out of bed. "Hey Ryan. Morning Reese. Why did you guys come so early?" JC asked. He threw on a robe and walked up to both of them to give them a hug. "I got an early call from Danny. Did you know he moved to Seattle?" Ryan announced. Justin popped up from bed carefully and looked at the couple with groggy eyes. "Danny? Our Danny?" Justin questioned. Ryan simply nodded. "Danny Roberts?" Justin clarified. Ryan nodded once again. "Ben and Amy's godfather, Danny?" Justin asked. "Yes!" Ryan said, taking a seat on the bed. Ava made her way on the wobbly bed to her father and took a seat in his lap. "He didn't tell me!!! And he's my children's godfather!" Justin barked. "Justin." JC said groggily. Justin put on his glasses before he looked over towards a weary JC who looked sleepy eyed and tired. "Quiet now, yell later." JC said quietly. "Shut up." Justin snickered and rose from bed. "Sexy underwear Just." Reese commented when seeing Justin's tight boxer briefs. "Thank you, they are Josh's." Justin commented, quickly pulling on a robe. "Are you guys hungry?" JC questioned. "Not really? Are you?" Ryan questioned. "We just woke up. Of course we're hungry." Justin retorted. "Why don't you guys go get ready and we'll get you guys some breakfast. And why don't you call the other guys. We'll get them food too." Reese responded. "Thanks." JC mumbled as he made his way to the bathroom. "Hello?" Paul asked as he answered telephone. "Hey Paul, is Danny there?" Justin questioned. Ryan rolled his eyes and forked a piece of chicken from his chicken Caesar salad. He looked over to his side and saw his wife, Reese Witherspoon, feeding their baby. He brought the fork in front of Reese who gladly took a bite. "Thanks." Reese mumbled as she chewed. "Anyone want to try some of my panini?" Lance asked. Chris took the grilled sandwich from his hand took a generous bite. He handed it back to Lance along with his own bowl of soup. Lance took a slurp and made a disgusted face. "How dare you move and not tell me!!!" Justin shouted into the phone. "Soooo. . . Ryan, any new movies coming up?" JC asked. "Maybe a couple. Not sure whether I'm going to take it or not. I have to fly to Europe and stay there for two months." Ryan stated. "So you're worried about leaving Ava?" JC asked. "Yup and I just got off of a shoot and need a little time with family, you know?" Ryan asked. "I understand." JC replied. "So when do you get to meet the kids?" Ryan questioned. "In a bout three weeks. My sister and her fiancé are flying out with them." JC responded. "How long are you going without seeing them?" Reese inquired. "It'll be about a month and a half." JC said with a sad nod. "Poor kids are missing both of their parents." Reese sighed. Ava started to jerk away from whatever food Reese was trying to feed her. "Mi Wak." Ava chattered. "You wanna walk?" JC asked. Ava smiled bashfully as the man spoke to her. "huh?" Ava asked softly. "Wanna walk with JC?" Ryan asked. Ava gave them a small nod and hopped out of Reese's lap and walked quickly toward JC. Justin watched his husband walk around the area with Ava clutching his hand tightly. "Sorry Just! We got caught up in moving and we forgot. I mean we just remembered that you were on tour this morning and so I didn't call you." Danny apologized profusely. "Why did you move?" Justin asked. "Paul and I got job offers in this area. So we both decided to move." Danny responded. "I hate you. I hate you both." Justin pouted. Justin felt a small child grab a hold of his pant leg. He held the phone with his shoulder and leaned down to pick up Ava. She sat in his lap and suddenly had a shocked face when finding that he wasn't her father. She looked across the table and saw her father. "Hey Ava. Wanna come to me?" Joey asked. She giggled at Joey and gave a small nod. She reached out to him and was gladly taken by Joey. "Well okay. Why don't you call me after you guys get unpacked. Okay?" Justin said into the phone. He ended his call and hung up. "We have to go visit them." Justin said to JC. "When?" JC questioned, taking his seat next to Justin. "After the tour." Justin responded, slipping on his sunglasses and linking an arm through JC's. Justin rested his chin on JC's shoulder and felt JC press a small kiss into Justin's curls. "I love you." JC whispered. "I love you too." Justin responded. "What are you guys doing tonight?" Chris questioned, making his way to the door to the suite. "Well E! is having a celebrity wedding thing and ours is on it. So we're going to stay home and watch that." JC claimed. "You guys are getting boring. You sure you don't want to come to a club with us?" Chris asked. "Yeah we're sure. We're just gonna head in early." Justin nodded. "Party poopers." Joey nudged. Justin and JC collapsed onto the couch and watched the guys rush around, getting ready. "Josh! Can I borrow your dark blue silk shirt?" Lance called. "Yeah go ahead." JC called back. "Well come help me find it! It's not in any of your bags!" Lance shouted. JC let out a groan as he pulled himself off the couch and made his way to their room. Joey took a seat in his place and stared at the TV showing pictures of the latest movie premiere. Justin tossed a cushion into Joey's lap and placed his head down on it, allowing him to lay out on the couch. "Hey Joe." Justin greeted. "Hey Just." Joey responded, placing a hand on Justin's head and ruffling his hair a bit. "Joe, is your mom coming down to Florida anytime soon?" Justin asked. "Maybe, why?" Joey asked in return. "I'm craving her lasagna." Justin commented. Joey let out a snicker and gave Justin one last ruffle. "I'll let her know that. She'll probably overnight mail you one as soon as I tell her." Joey laughed. Justin chuckled along and stared at the TV. "Look Joe! It's you!" Justin pointed. Joey saw himself on the TV and listened to what was being said. "Hey I didn't know I have to be on TRL this month!" Joey commented, turning up the volume with the remote. "Yeah well. Too bad." Justin said, taking the remote from Joey and changing channels until he came across the E! channel. "Coming up next we have an inside look at some of the most famous celebrities and their weddings. See what Drew Barrymore and Tom Green put on top of their wedding cake. See who sang at Brandy's wedding. And see the hill topped fort where Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez got married. All coming up next on E! Insider: Celebrity Weddings." The television voice announced. "You guys were at your wedding. You need to watch a show on it." Joey chuckled. "Yeah but I was so nervous that I didn't get to admire anything." Justin snickered. "Well you looked dashing Mr. Timberlake Chasez. You looked very dashing. And that husband of yours wasn't too bad himself." Joey nodded. "Thanks Joe." Justin replied softly. "You sure you don't want to come with us?" Joey asked. "Yeah I'm sure. I'm not in the dancing mood. I miss the kids too much. But if Josh wants to go. Take him." Justin urged. "Justin, If Josh wanted to go and you didn't, then I'm pretty sure we know that he won't go at all." Joey insisted. "No! He goes out with friends all the time. We're not like those couples who have to be together all the time. We can have separate social lives." Justin justified. JC walked into the room with Lance in tote who was buttoning up JC's shirt. Justin looked up at them both and gazed at Lance for a second. "What?" Lance inquired. "That shirt looks better on Josh." Justin claimed before averting his eyes to the TV again. "You think everything looks better on Josh." Lance jested. "No! I don't think you look good on Josh." Justin joked back. "That would be a good thing." Lance snickered. "Josh, you wanna go clubbing with us?" Joey asked. "No my feet kinda hurt from wearing those new shoes all day." JC responded. Joey stood from the couch and allowed JC to take his place. "Fine, then we are heading out." Chris commented, coming out on his room. "Bye guys." Justin said, with his head in JC's lap. "Bye." Came a collective mumble. "Welcome back, Let's now travel into the luxurious wedding fit for a Prince. Well two princes to be exact. N Sync has been declared the Princes of Pop. The five young men were adored by millions and admired by all. The two heartthrobs the group, JC Chasez and Justin Timberlake had worked together since their were mere teenagers. But in December of 1999 they took their friendship to another level. Singer, Justin Timberlake: "JC was the closest person to me at that time. He was the one I ran to when I had a bad day and he was the person I ran to when I needed good laugh." Justin said into the camera. Pictures of Justin and JC as young kids came onto the screen. "I mean, they were two peas in a pod. We couldn't go anywhere without taking JC with us. And Justin had to go with JC wherever he went. It was like having another son." Lynn commented with a giant grin. "Justin and JC kept their relationship secret in a world where few celebrities were gay. In July of 2000, the two accompanied the rest of the group to attend a former tour manager's wedding. They traveled to the exotic islands of Hawaii. JC took this romantic weekend as a perfect time to propose." "Well his brother had come with us. So Tyler and myself decided to go to a club with the rest of the guys. Josh decided to stay back in the room and hang out, I thought he was tired or something. Little did I know, he was preparing the room." Justin said with a small smirk of remembrance on his face. "I remember he had turned the hotel room into a candle lit wonder. White roses were everywhere. And he had a wonderful dinner prepared. And then right after dinner, he told me to uncover my desert plate. I did and found a slice of my grandmother's peach cobbler with a ring sitting atop it." "And then I took it and went down on one knee and proposed to him." JC said with a giant grin. "From July to December the pair inserted time for their wedding, in their busy schedule." "It was extremely difficult for them to have time for their wedding. They were not only sticking to their schedule but meeting at night and in the morning about their wedding. The guys as well helped the two tremendously." Lynn commented. "For the wedding, Justin and JC requested their close friend and fellow pop singer, Britney Spears, be in charge of coordinating. Singer, Britney Spears:" "Well I helped for the wedding just because it was my two best friends and they were way to busy to handle anything themselves. And they basically told me what they had in mind and I went with it." Britney said with a ginger smile. "For the wedding, the pop princes took over Tennessee Fort Mason, located in Justin's hometown. With the help of Britney, the two made the historic fort into a castle fit any royalty." "Well Justin's favorite color is a light baby blue. And they wanted to go with traditional white with a twist, so what we did was use those two as our base colors. Everything was either white or light blue. And then we added some greenery to break the monotony." Britney explained. "Both men looked like crowned kings with white studded tuxedos and silver crowns atop their brow. They walked into the garden hand in hand led by a procession of close family and friends. Among the procession was their unborn twins carried by cousin Kelly." Justin watched as he saw pictures of Kelly in her gown in the wedding procession. He sat up in his place and hugged a pillow as he watched the screen intently. JC noticed Justin's change and moved closer. He placed an arm around Justin and pulled him closer. Justin placed his head down on JC's shoulder and wiped a stray tear away. "After a modern style wedding, the newly married couple rolled off down the hill in a horse drawn carriage to the reception held at the banquet hall at the bottom of the hill. "The reception was a small quiet event. Nothing too fancy. Just a nice place for Justin and JC to celebrate their wedding." Tyler mentioned. "I have to be the luckiest person on the face of this earth. Not only am I blessed with an awesome career, a loving family, and a great friends, I also have the best man on earth as my husband." Justin smiled. "I thank God everyday that I have Justin. I've said this before and I'll say it again, He is my other half. Without him I truly would die." JC said sincerely. "Next on our show. We look into the wedding of actress: Drew Barrymore." Justin and JC sat staring at the screen long after the show went to a commercial. JC just held onto his husband, refusing to let go until he made a move. "Sweetheart?" JC asked. "I'm okay Josh. I'm okay." Justin nodded. "You sure Justin?" JC asked. "No really I'm fine. It was good seeing Kelly." Justin nodded with a somber look. He ran the back of his hand across his eyes and forced a smile. "No I'm fine." Justin nodded. "I know what will cheer you up! How about a shower?" JC asked, rubbing Justin's shoulders. "No, I'm okay. Why don't you go ahead and shower." Justin said, giving JC a brief kiss. JC gave him a skeptical look and nodded. "I love you." JC said, quietly, before hopping up. "I know." Justin snickered, to himself. Cole stood on the doorstep with Christina. Both looked back at the rain that fell over Orlando. She gave a quickly shudder, though she had Cole's jacket draped over her. "So you were saying?" Christina said, as she jiggled the door open. "I was? About what?" Cole questioned, completely spellbound by Christina. Christina connected eyes with him and giggled when seeing his dazed look. "You were talking about treating that seven year old." Christina reminded. Cole broke from his spell to remember the rest of the story. "So she is crying and yelling that I am a liar and screaming at the top of her lungs that I don't know you or the guys. I mean she was making so much noise that her mother came running into the room with nurses following." Cole snickered, following Christina into the house after she had opened the door. "So what did you do?" Christina asked, making her way to the living room, shucking the nice warm jacket on the way. "Well I had to dig out my wallet and show pictures of all of you to her. And then she refused to let go of my wallet. The mother had to pry it from her hand." Cole laughed. Christina chuckled along and fell onto the couch. "Well I guess I would clutch onto your pictures too. But just to have your picture." Christina smiled. Cole gave her a tender smile. "You want a fire? I can start one." Cole offered, heading to the fire and picking up a piece of wood from the decorative basket. "Don't bother with the wood. It's a gas fireplace." Christina stated, picking up a remote and turning on the fire place in front of her. "Wow, classy. Back where I grew up, if wanted a fire, we had to go out back. Take a part of a tree and cut it into a log. Which was about everyday in winter." Cole claimed. "Did you wear flannel shirts and have tight jeans?" Christina asked, mischievously. "Not really, pretty much, just a pair of shorts." Cole teased. "Even better." Christina laughed. Cole made his way next to Christina and took a seat on the comfortable wrap around couch. He leaned forward and placed a small peck on her lips. She smiled and looked down a bit. Cole's hand gently lifted her chin so their gaze met, before he planted another tender kiss on her lips. She felt herself moving back, so she could lay against the couch. Cole hovered over her as he pressed tender heartfelt smooches on her. His shadow covered her blocking out the illumination of the fire. She closed her eyes lazily and opened them to find Marvin in front of her. She saw him lift his arm in the air, sending a large shadow over her. His eyes white and glowing while his body is dark in the faded light. Christina reacted swiftly and shoved Marvin off of her. "Chrissy? What are you doing?" Cole shouted as he fell backward. Christina gasped when seeing Cole on the floor. She looked about the room and didn't see Marvin in sight. "Right now, we are on our way to this theater for the premiere of Joey's new movie. He was starring in `My Big Fat Greek Wedding.' So we're going with him to the premiere." Justin said into his cell phone. He was sprawled across his limo seat, resting heavily on JC who was reading an article in the newspaper. Lance was sleeping against the window while Chris was looking out the window at the sights of San Francisco. "Where is my brother?" Tyler asked. "I'm laying on him." Justin responded with a chuckle. He lay into JC while JC's right arm wrapped over Justin's chest to his left arm. He rubbed his arm gently while continuing to read. JC leaned down a bit and gave him a kiss on his head. "Okay Ty. When I get back to Orlando I have this girl I want you to meet." Justin stated. "Justin! I don't need you to find me a girl." Tyler huffed. "But I can help. And she's gorgeous. I mean if I didn't love your brother so much and if I was straight I would date her in a second." Justin stated. He looked up at JC who had a grin. "Who is this girl?" Tyler asked. "Here name is Kristen. And she's JC's dance partner when we do couple work. So we know her really well. And she is the sweetest girl you'll ever meet." Justin gushed. "We'll see." Tyler mumbled. Justin got the point and switch off the subject. "So what's new?" Justin asked. "Not much, I saw my niece and nephew the other day." Tyler explained. "really? How are they?" Justin asked happily. "Ben has these little fits of crying and he won't stop until he sees your wedding picture of all things." Tyler explained. Justin's heart wrenched as he heard Tyler's words. "And Amy is as happy as can be. She watches you on the TV and thinks you guys are right there in the room with her." Tyler laughed. "I miss them, Ty." Justin said softly. "I know you do, Just. It's only a couple more days until you are in Texas. It'll go by quickly. I promise." Tyler snickered. "I know. I know. I just want my children back." Justin sighed sadly. "We're here." Chris announced. "Hey Tyler, I have to head out. I'll talk to you later okay?" Justin mentioned. "Bye, Justin." Tyler ended. Justin pocketed his cell phone and sat up. The car came to a stop in front of the red carpet and everyone got prepared to leave. Chris opened the door and he stepped out. Lance stepped out after him. Just as Justin was going to step out, JC grabbed his wrist and gently pulled him back to place a kiss on his lips. "It's okay Blue, we're going to see them again soon." JC said, resting his forehead against Justin's; their noses brushing past each other. "I know Josh." Justin responded with heavy eyes. He turned and stepped out of the limo with JC following. The four guys smiled for the sudden blaze of flashes that blinded them. "Guys!!" They heard a familiar yell. They watched as they saw Joey come running down the red carpet and towards the four. "Joey!!!" JC waved. "Hey guys, thanks for coming." Joey said. He received hugs from all the guys. "NSYNC!! Over here." A reporter yelled. They guys gave them a small smile and waves. JC took Justin's hand and started to follow the rest of the group. The two made a lazy walk towards the theater and smiled for everyone. "Do you think that we'll see anyone famous here?" Justin asked, whispering into JC's ear. "Sweetheart, we're at a movie premiere. I think everyone here is famous." JC replied equally as soft with a chuckle. Justin smiled bashfully and clutched onto JC's arm. "Justin! JC! Over here! We're Entertainment Tonight. Can we get a word with you." A man asked. Justin shrugged when gaining a questioning glance from JC. Both obliged and stepped up to their place. "Hi. We're here with Justin and JC from N Sync here at the movie premiere of fellow bandmate's new movie `My Big Fat Greek Wedding.' So guys. What do you think of Joey becoming an actor.?" He asked. "Well I think Justin agrees with me when saying that we are proud of Joey and are definitely waiting to see what the movie is like. We heard stuff from Joey but we want to wait and see ourselves." JC snickered. "I think anything Joey wants to do that makes him happy. I'm okay with." Justin smiled. "Thank you, you two. Do you mind telling us who you are wearing?" the man asked. Justin looked down at the shirt he was wearing which was a black silk shirt tucked into brown leather pants. "I'm not sure. The shirt I've had for a while. And the pants are JC's." Justin snickered. "Well how about you JC." he asked. "I'm wearing a Armani black turtle neck sweater with a pair of J Crew khakis." JC told everyone. `Well thank you very much." He said, allowing them to walk away. "That was weird." Justin said, clutching JC's arm. Together they joined the rest of the group and followed them from reporter to reporter. Finally it was time for the movie screening. They found themselves seated somewhere in the middle with people filling in all around them. Justin moved closer to JC and rested his head on JC's shoulder. "I love you." JC said aloud. "You do?!!" came a chipper voice behind them. Justin winced. He knew that voice. Where did he know that voice? He looked at JC who looked back at him. They both shrugged and looked over their shoulders. There she sat, with a little denim mini skirt and a white blouse. Her blond hair was pulled up into messy bun while her face was heavily made up. "St. . . Sta. . ." JC struggled. "Stacy???" Lance questioned loudly from beside Justin. Justin cast a glance to toward Lance and gave him a horror filled look and looked back a Stacy. "Hi guys!" Stacy smiled brightly. "Wha. . .What?. . .What are you. . .uhm. . . doing here?" JC asked. "Well we are on the soundtrack so we are here to see the movie." Stacy smiled happily. "Well it's good to see you again." Justin said, turning to face the screen. He had a taut jawbone and a scowl written on his face. He glanced over to JC who was still turned, staring at Stacy. "Josh!" Justin chastised. JC gave a startled looked towards his husband and turned to face the screen. "Sorry." JC mumbled. He took Justin's hand and held it tightly. "Justin, I love you." JC whispered. Justin turned to look at JC. From the side of his eye he saw Stacy looking at him. He instantly grabbed JC and crushed his mouth with his own. JC had little time to react. He took a hold of Justin and fell into the kiss. Both shared the passionate smooch. JC's eyes were locked shut while Justin viewed Stacy with a menacing look. The kiss was broken by Justin who pulled back a bit. "I love you too Sweetheart." Justin said slightly louder than usual. He put his head down on JC's shoulder and clutched his arm tightly. "Just, that's a bit tight. You mind loosening up a bit?" JC asked. Justin glared up at JC who averted his gaze back to the screen. "Nevermind." JC mumbled. Texas was hot. Never had Justin been more enthusiastic to enter the Dallas airport. He was hit with the cool air conditioning that the airport provided. His loose white T-shirt with `California' printed on it, and his khaki shorts clung to his body while sunglasses draped his eyes. A red studded cloth covered his blond curls as well as keeping his brow dry. "Justin! Wait up!" he heard. He turned to face the voice and smiled when he saw his husband carrying a large stuffed bear the size of his upper torso. "Josh! Why did you buy that thing and haul it all the way with us?" Justin asked. "I wanted to spoil the kids the first second I see them." JC said, entering the air conditioned building. JC hefted the giant bear and followed Justin up the escalator and down a long corridor and into a terminal. Justin looked around for signs a bit, before taking JC's free hand and walking with him to their gate. "That's the gate!" Justin said, pointing a gate at the far end of the terminal. "Now announcing the arrival of flight 251 from Washington D.C." "That's their flight! Run Justin!" JC said as he started to dart off in a full run toward the gate. Panting and out of breath, they arrive at the gate. JC placed the bear down and looked intently for his kids. Streams of people exited the plane, but either man didn't see their children. Finally the trickle dwindled down last minute passengers. The gate was almost empty with only airport faculty around. Justin peered down the gate and saw the last couple leave the plane. He smiled when he recognized Heather and Tim, carrying two children who were cleanly dressed and wide away. They exited the corridor into the terminal and placed their kids down. Ben and Amy stood around the standing adults before catching sight of their parents. They smiled and started to run toward them with arms outstretched. Justin and JC simultaneously crouched down and spread their arms out wanting to catch their children. Ben and Amy ran toward their parents. Justin had a huge grin on his face, watching his kids' wobbly sprint towards them. JC laughed at their smiles. Suddenly the kids ran past Justin and JC and gave the giant bear a giant hug. With arms outspread, JC and Justin watched in confusion as their children collapsed in the arms of a stuffed animal. "Oh! Rejection for a piece of stuffed rug." Heather jested as she came up chuckling. Both men stood up and gave the girl a hug. "Hey Tim." Justin said shaking his hand. "Hey brother-in-law." JC said, giving Tim a hug. Justin stepped back and watched his husband hug his family. Justin jumped when he felt a pair of arms wrap around both of his legs. He looked down and saw Ben and Amy hugging his legs while looking up at their father. Justin crouched and fell into a sitting position to catch both children who stood before him. "Hey kids. I missed you sooo much!" Justin gushed, holding on to both children tigthly. "Dada." Amy remarked. "Dada bup." Ben reciprocated. Justin laughed and kissed both children on the cheeks. "I love you guys so much. Why don't you go say hi to Papa." Justin stated. He pointed to JC who crouched on the floor to reach their level. Both toddlers fell into JC's arms. He lifted both of them off the ground and held them as he gave them small pecks on the forehead. "Hi guys. How are you doing?" JC asked, watching both kids as they rested their heads on his shoulders in weariness. "It was a long flight for both of them." Tim stated. "Any problems on the plane?" JC asked. "Nope they were perfect angels." Heather responded. "Good kids." Justin smiled. He held out his arms which Amy reached out for. He took a hold of Amy and held her while he took a hold of the bear with the other. "So how is touring?" Heather questioned hefting the diaper bag onto her shoulder. "Stressful." Justin sighed, kissing Amy's head. Amy rested her head down onto his father's shoulder and watched everyone move about the terminal. "Let's take the elevator you guys. I don't feel like lugging this bear all the way down." JC said, taking the large stuffed animal from Justin. "I told you!" Justin snickered. Walking behind JC. They all started to move down the corridor toward the elevators. As they stepped into the elevator a separate family did as well. A young man and a young women with a child the age of Amy and Ben stepped in and waited for the ground floor. Amy looked at the small boy and spoke up a bit. The women, who was holding the boy, turned and looked at Amy. She smiled and waved to the small child. "mama?" Amy questioned, pointing to the woman. Justin looked toward his daughter who glanced at him with question. "No Princess." Justin said softly, pressing a kiss to her cheek. Amy stayed erect and continued to stare at the boy who rested on the woman. "Dada?" she questioned. Justin sighed and was expecting to find Amy pointing to the young man. But instead, Amy was pointing to him with a goofy grin. Justin smiled and pretended to munch on her fingers. Amy giggled and looked over toward JC who was smiling back at her. "papa?" she mumbled. Justin nodded and brushed her wavy blond hair out of the way of her face. "Who is that?" Justin asked, the elevator finally reaching the first floor. He pointed to Heather who was staring at her with a smirk. Amy shied away in embarrassment. "That's Aunty Heather." Justin said. "Huh?" Amy asked. "Aunty Heather." Justin said softer into her ear. They all stepped out of the elevator. And made their way to the exit. "Are you guys hungry?" JC asked. "A little." Heather stated, linking her hand with Tim's. "Tim!" Amy smiled happily "Yeah! But that's Uncle Tim to you!" Justin snickered. "Unka." Ben shouted when seeing Lance walk through the door. He darted toward Lance and grabbed his leg. Lance leaned down, though still panting from the performance he just finished, and scooped up the child. "Hey Benji." Lance said, pressing a kiss to the boys cheek. "Unka yuck." Ben responded. "Sorry Benj, I've just been dancing for three hours straight. Why don't you stay with your Uncle Tim and Aunt Heather why we take showers." Lance suggested, handing Ben over to Tim, who was seated on the couch. The dressing room for the guys was empty but soon changed as they all filed in. JC came in last, stripping his shirt off before closing the door. "Thank god Dallas gave us three showers instead of one. Who's first?" Justin asked. "Justin, you go first. I'll stay here with the kids and then I'll go when you are out." JC said, collapsing onto the couch. His bare chest bounced with his panting. Justin threw him a towel before slipping into the shower. JC wiped his face before placing the towel in his lap. Amy crawled across the couch and into her father's lap. "Hey Princess!" JC said, watching his daughter stand in his lap. Amy smiled and buried her face in JC's bare shoulder. "I know. I know. We'll be on the bus in thirty minutes okay? Then you and your brother can go to bed. I promise." JC said to Amy. "ehhh!!" Ben chimed. His eyes on JC. "Benjamin. No whining." JC warned. Ben obliged and sat quietly next to Tim. Amy grabbed a hold of JC's Leo pendant. He moved his engagement ring aside and watched as Amy toyed with the ivory piece. With a loud sigh he heard Chris emerged wet from the shower in a robe. Joey quickly jumped into the shower after him. "Well guys. Me and Tim are going to let you guys get changed. You want something to drink?" Heather asked. "No thanks. We have water. Can you put Ben by my side?" JC asked. Tim gladly obliged and put the child next to his father. They walked out of the room just as Lance entered the room from his shower. "Hi kids!" Lance said, slipping on his pajama pants under his towel. He toweled his chest off before slipping on a T-shirt. He took a seat on the couch next to JC and tapped Ben on the shoulder. Ben turned and smiled at Lance. Ben bashfully lifted JC's arm and wrapped it around himself. "Ben, it's only your Uncle Lance." JC said, watching Ben bashfully toy with his bracelet. "Okay Josh. Go ahead." Justin said, coming out refreshed and partially dressed. He stood in a pair of mesh basketball shorts, making his way nonchalantly to the couch. JC gave Justin a quick kiss before heading to the shower. Justin took JC's place, Amy on one side of him and Ben on the other. "Dada." Ben said. "Hmm?" Justin asked, looking down at Ben. Ben just gave him a cheesy grin. Justin smiled brightly and leaned down to place a kiss on Ben's nose. "I love you." Justin said. Ben sat up and pressed a kiss on Justin's cheek. "I ya yoo." Ben imitated. "I ya yoo." Justin said to Amy. "I ya-oo." Amy replied, playing with her shoes. "Do you love me?" Lance asked. Both Ben and Amy looked over to their uncle and smile. "I Ya oo!!" Amy smiled brightly. "How bout you Ben?" Lance asked, poking the boy. "I ya yoo." Ben said shyly. Chris collapsed on the couch opposite of them and let out a large yawn. "Unca!!" Amy pointed. "Yes Ames, another uncle." Justin snickered. "Unca!!" She piped again as she caught sight of Joey. "Sweety, you have a lot of uncles. You have Uncle Tyler, Jonathan and Steven. You have Uncle Joey, Chris, and Lance. You have Uncle Trace, Uncle Wade. How bout you try saying a first name. Say. . . Lance. L-an-ce" Justin said pointing to Lance. Amy stopped and stared at her father for a second before looking over towards Lance. "Unca!" She chimed. Justin winced and nodded. "Yes Dear, he's your uncle." Justin stated. "Dada owwie?" Ben questioned, pointing to Justin's tattoo on his arm. "No, Daddy has a picture on his arm. Not an owwie." Justin stated. Ben gave a confused look before turning toward Lance. He crawled over and took a seat next to Lance. "Papa!!!!" Amy shouted happily when seeing JC walk out of the shower room. JC flashed her a small grin before throwing on his pajamas. He walked over to the couch and took a seat on the arm. Amy stood on the couch and tried to touch her father's nose. JC leaned down and let her tap his nose. She smiled brightly before falling back on the couch. As she fell back, she missed the couch and started to tumble for the floor. JC attempted to catch her but it was too late. Amy fell back off the front of the couch and hit her head against the coffee table on the way down to the floor. She opened her mouth in silence with nothing but a painful look on her face. She let loose a series of tears but no sound was elicited from her mouth. And then, as if someone has pressed an On switch, she let loose a loud screaming cry. JC rushed to her side and scooped her up. He felt her head and sighed when not seeing any blood. He cradled her though she continued to scream constantly. "Okay guys. Some bossy chick outside to me to tell you that we should head for the busses now." Heather said, poking her head in. "Okay. Thanks Heather. Indy, you take Amy and I'll take everything else." Justin said, running a hand over the screaming child. Amy continued to scream as JC started to bounce her. "Chris, could you get an ice pack please." JC asked. Chris quickly ran out of the room. Together they all packed up and braced themselves for all the yelling. They headed down a corridor, arriving at the exit door. They heard the mass of screaming accumulated behind the door. Amy continued to cry loudly, as JC covered her with his jacket. She cried into JC's pajama shirt, her tiny arms tried to wrap around JC's neck. JC nuzzled her head softly before rushing out. Her screams were loud and distinct as they entered the cool night. As they walked out and rushed toward the bus. The screaming girls around them slowly started to pipe down. The guys stopped when they heard Amy's screams and her's alone. "Is she okay?" one girl asked. "Yeah, she just hit her head." Justin explained carrying Ben next to where JC stood. "This is for her." Another girl said, holding out a plush Dalmatian dog. JC carried the crying girl to the fan and pulled back the jacket so Amy could see the girl who was offering her a gift. Amy shied away and buried her face in her father's neck. "She's a bit shy." JC said. "well you can give this to her anyway. She can play with it when she's feeling better." The girl stated. "Thanks. I appreciate it." JC smiled, leaning down and pressing a kiss to the girl's cheek. "I hope she feels better." Another girl stated. Justin smiled while trying to maintain control of a squirming Ben. Justin reluctantly put Ben on the floor, who happily started walking, yet stood fearfully by his father. He clutched onto Justin's shorts and started to lead him straight forward. The mass had moved back a bit, making room for the children. "We should get going." An attendant urged. "Bye guys. We have to go." JC said making his way to the bus. Justin followed, with Ben following the figure of his papa. Chris swooped by and scooped the child up in his arms, lifting the boy above his head. Ben squealed with excitement while the crowd laughed at his reactions. Chris put the child onto his shoulders while holding his hands and headed toward the buss behind JC who had already climbed aboard. After getting on the bus everyone headed their own ways. Chris sat in the front talking with Sarah on his cell phone. Joey hit the computer and started to sift through and reply his e-mails. Lance lay on the couch, watching television while JC was in the corner of the other couch holding a hyperventilating child. Heather and Tim took an empty bunk and fell fast asleep. Justin entered the lounge area with Ben following, ready for bed in his pajamas. He walked, fumbling here and there, while clutching his Dad's hand. Justin took a seat on the couch and lifted Ben into his lap. "Benny, you feel like going nite nite?" Justin asked. Ben rubbed his eye obliviously and glanced over to his sister. "Dada? Stoy?" Ben whispered softly. "What's stoy?" Lance asked. "Story." Justin responded with a grin. Lance chuckled and nodded. "Benji, want me to read you a story?" Lance asked. Ben just stared at his Uncle Lance. Justin leaned down next to his son's ear. "Ben, why don't you get your story and Uncle Lance will read to you." Justin said to his child. Ben dropped to the floor and raced to pick up a large pop-up book. He raced over to Lance and stood by the end of the couch obediently. "Unca?" Ben asked. Lance looked at him and smiled before lifting him up into his lap. Ben rested against Lance's chest while Lance lifted the book in front of the boy. Justin sighed and laid down on the couch. "Indy, want me to take her?" Justin questioned. "Will you? I'm gonna get her pajamas and blanket." JC said, handing the child over to his husband. JC leaned down and pressed a kiss to Justin's mouth. "I Love you." JC whispered. "Ditto." Justin replied softly. Britney slouched on her bed with a bowl of popcorn. She had just finished her concert in London and decided to do nothing but sit in her room and catch in a few chick flicks. As she sat sullenly on the bed, staring at the television in the posh room of some fancy hotel, she couldn't help but think of what Lance was doing at that moment? The time difference gave but two options. Either preparing for a show or in the midst of radical publicity appearances. She looked over to her night stand and glanced toward a simply framed picture of her and Lance sitting in the Chasez house, with Ben and Amy smiling happily with them. She let out a loud sigh and dug her hand into the bowl of popcorn, pulling out a handful and bringing it to her mouth. She looked over at her cell phone and pondered whether she should call him or not. She hadn't talked to him for a couple days and needed to hear his voice. "Britney!" Sarah yelled from the other side of the door. "What?" Britney called, getting up and making her way to the door. She opened it, resting herself against the wall. "Wanna come? We're all going for a late snack at the diner on the corner." Sarah invited. "No. I'm not in the mood." Britney turned down, politely. "You miss Lance." Sarah stated. "I do." Britney nodded softly. "As big of a lug that he his, I miss my lug." Sarah sighed. "Sarah, do you know where the guys are at this moment?" she questioned. "I think Chris said they are at a charity thing." Sarah shrugged. Britney nodded to herself and folded her arms over her chest. "Okay. Thanks Sarah." Britney stated. "You gonna be okay?" Sarah asked, concerned with her friends well being. "I'll be okay." Britney nodded, forcing a smile. "Well if you want to talk. I'm just down the street and I have my cell phone. And if I'm not good enough for you, that hot dancer who hangs out by himself is staying behind too." Sarah said, lifting her eyebrows as if incredibly happy. Britney gave a simple snicker and nodded. She watched as Sarah bounced down the hall to meet up with the rest of the group. Britney closed the door and headed back to the bed. She flicked off the TV and sang to herself as she made her way to the bathroom. After turning on the faucet to the whirlpool, she shucked her clothes until she stood naked in front of the mirror. She examined herself slightly before grabbing a robe and throwing it over herself. Closing it tightly, she walked out of the bathroom to her suitcase which rested on the stand. Britney sifted through the pile of clothes and found a comfortable pair of Lance's boxers and one of Justin's plain white T-shirts. She was about to walk into the bathroom once again when a knock came at the door. "Sarah, did you forget something?" Britney asked, closing her robe with one arm around her waist, and the other pinch the lapels. She gave a startled look when she saw Drake. Drake was the newest member to the dancers and pretty much stuck with himself. Occasionally he would smile a hello and take part of a conversation, but most of the time he was reserved and quiet. "Hey Brit. Sarah told me you were gonna stick around and I thought, that maybe we could stick around together." Drake shrugged meekly. "Well. . . uhm. . . sure why don't you come in." Britney smiled, moving aside. She moved into the bathroom and turned off the faucet before unplugging the tub. She slipped on Lance's boxers and Justin's shirt before placing the robe back on over her clothed form. She flicked the lights and entered her room to find Drake sitting on a chair in the corner, with his knees brought up to his chest. "So, Drake. What's up?" Britney asked, taking a seat on the bed, sitting in the same position as the man across from her. "Not much, just a little bored. . . and. . ." Drake trailed off. "Lonely?" Britney questioned. "Yeah, lonely." Drake nodded. "I understand. Are you missing someone in specific back in the U.S.?" Britney asked softly. "Well yeah. My girlfriend. Sandy." Drake mentioned. Britney smiled when seeing Drake's meek smile. "Yeah me too." Britney nodded, looking down at her knees. "What's his name?" Britney looked up at Drake in slight shock. Everyone seemed to know about her and Lance. How did he not know? "His name is Lance." Britney responded. "Is that him?" He asked, pointing to the framed picture on the nightstand. "Yeah that's him." Britney responded. "Are those your children?" Drake asked in shock. "No!!" Britney responded loudly. "Siblings?" Drake questioned. "No those are my best friend's kids." Britney responded. "He looks familiar. Do I know him?" Drake asked. "He's in a pop band." Britney hinted. "Oh. I see." Drake nodded. "I was just about to watch a chick flick. Wanna watch it with me?" Britney questioned. "Uhm, sure I guess." Drake responded. Britney moved aside and Drake took a seat on the bed next to her. She flicked on the VCR with the remote and sat back, readjusting the bowl of popcorn which was now between them. The movies came on and both settled in. "Can you see with that light on?" Drake asked, referring to the lamp next to the TV, which cast a giant glare. "Not really, here let me turn it off." Britney said, standing on the bed. She lost her balance and fell back against Drake. Her hand smacked the bowl of popcorn, sending popcorn every which way. Drake wrapped his arms around her to cushion her fall. She leaned back against him and looked up at him a bit surprised. "You okay?" Drake asked. His mouth mere inches away from Britney's. Britney gave a small nod and let out a small sigh. She looked up towards Drake and suddenly was enveloped in a kiss with her dancer. She closed her eyes and reveled in the warmth of a mouth over her's. TO BE CONTINUED. . . ***That's it you guys.
