Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2007 23:22:48 -0500 From: Angel J Subject: Justin's Angel-23 This is a sexually explicit story (at times) involving homosexuality. By continuing to read, you affirm under penalties of perjury that you are not a minor or in the company of a minor and are entitled to have access to this story. The following is a fictious story with no real basis or credibility.It is solely for the enjoyment of the reader.Its all just fun. It does not imply anything about the sexual preferences or lifestyle of Justin Timberlake or any other celebrity mentioned in the story. Previously Michael opened his eyes,staring into Justin's blue ones. He started crying,Justin holding on to him,holding him till he could talk. "Oh, Justin.I heard music,so much music.When you tasted me I felt your soul enter mine,I felt all your music inside me. It was as if the life inside you finally has come alive inside me.We are together now,for now and always." "I felt the same thing last night,my love.I felt your soul was with me too." Justin began crying too. They held each other,until their emotions had calmed. They looked at each other,their passion mixed in their eyes. They both felt their passion stirring again,Michael sensing Justin's needs. Michael made love to Justin again,slowly and tenderly until he had satisfied Justin's hunger as well as his own. For an hour they made love,slowly,passionately,both being satified completely. At the end they were back in their favorite spot,Michael's head resting on Justin's chest. "That was amazing,babe.I've never felt so complete,so satisfied." Michael smiled,rubbing Justin's hairy arm. "Me too,lover.Your pretty amazing yourself." Michael lifted his head,kissing Justin again. "I love you,Jus." "Love ya more,babe." Michael settled back into Justin's arms,closing his eyes. "We have two more days to be like this,Michael.but no worries,I will be back.And then we have the rest of our lives." Michael didn't say anything for a while,he just continued stroking Justin's arm. After a while Justin began to doze off a bit,but he heard Michael. "I love you,Justin." And then Justin felt Michael crying.He pulled him closer. Michael continued to cry until he had cried himself to sleep. Justin assumed it was tears of happiness,he fell asleep smiling. Chapter 23 Justin opened his eyes, adjusting to the morning light shining in the window. He had always been a late sleeper but since he'd started sleeping with Michael he usually woke before him. That suited him fine,it gave him time to lay quietly and just look at Michael. He looked at the clock,reading six o'clock,smiling to himself. Michael lay against him,his arm draped across Justin's chest.Michael always had to have contact with him. Justin felt it was his insecurities showing through,his fear that Justin would leave. Justin wasn't going anywhere.He was home. Justin lay quiet thinking about last night,how he had made love to Michael. How wonderful it had been to make him so happy.And how exciting and new it had all felt for Justin. He couldn't believe how soft and subtle Michael's body had felt,the taste of his skin,and the taste of his sweet nectar. Justin had felt unbelievably alive with all his senses.The smell,touch,and taste of Michael.And the beautiful sounds of Michael's heavy breathing and gasping. Justin was in awe of how Michael had reacted to his touch,to his slow seduction.To think that he had pleased Michael that much made Justin's eyes water. Justin looked down at him,scanning his face. It was the face of an angel.He looked so peaceful,his lips so full and beautiful. Justin just wanted to taste them,feel them against his. But he lay still,continuing his watchful gaze. Michael's nose was long and smooth,blemish free.His eyelashes were black and thick.His ears were slim and almost came to a point,like elf ears. Justin smiled,loving this time alone with his love. Justin thoughts lingered on his leaving in two days. He hated the thoughts of that.Of saying goodbye to him.He knew that it would be hard on Michael. Their love was new,and intoxicating.Both of them needing this contact,this feeling of intimacy. Justin remembered that he had brought it up last night after their love making. He suddenly realized why Michael had cried himself to sleep. The thought of his leaving had been too much for him,too heartwrenching. Justin felt dissappointment with himself, and mostly sadness that he had made Michael react that way. He'd promised to make him happy,but instead he had made him cry. Tears were forming now in Justin's eyes. Michael stirred beside him,his head slowly coming up,his eyes still half closed. "What's wrong,Jus.Are you okay?" "Everything is fine,babe.Lay back down,go back to sleep,its still early." Michael lay back down,hugging Justin tight to him. Justin was amazed.Michael had known he was upset. Was he reading his mind.No,Justin didn't think so.Michael had said that he couldn't just read anyone's mind.That it didn't work that way. Maybe they were so in love that the two of them were in sync. Justin smiled at that phrase,what irony. "NSYNC". He laughed out loud softly. Michael smiled beside him,murmuring. Justin looked at him. Could it be? Could they be in tune with each other that much. Justin though about Michael's gifts. Maybe there was truth in that,maybe they were that close.Two souls united. Maybe Michael's gifts had united them even more.When Michael woke up he would talk to him about it. For now Justin just lay there watching his man sleeping.After a while Michael stirred a bit turning over on his back. This gave Justin a full view of his chest.Its thick hair fascinated Justin.That hair felt so good against Justin's skin.LIke a thousand tiny fingers touching him. Justin put his hand on top of Michael's chest feeling its warmth. He moved his hand downward feeling the chest hair against his hand.Michael murmured, a faint smile on his lips. This man was so beautiful to Justin.He had never met anyone who excited him by just their touch. Last night had been Justin's awakening. He now realized in his heart that he was gay. Michael was who he wanted.No one else could make him feel this alive. The emptyness that had been inside him had been filled,filled with Michael's love. Justin leaned over,kissing Michael lightly on the lips,tasting his sweetness. Michael stirred, his beautiful golden eyes opening to stare into Justin's blue eyes. "Mmmm, what a way to be woke up,by looking into the eyes of an angel." Justin smiled,knowing that feeling. "Good morning babe.Didn't mean to wake you." "Then why did you kiss me?Your sexy lips would wake any one up." "My sexy lips will only wake one person.You,my love." Michael smiled,lifting up to meet Justin's lips. Justin smiled himself.This man was so giving. They cuddled together,at peace with each other. "Thank you, Michael for last night." Michael smiled,kissing his neck. "I should be thanking you,my love." Justin blushed. "I hope I was everything you expected." Justin looking a bit embarrassed. Michael looked into his blue eyes. "You were more." He leaned in kissing him again. "You touched me in ways I have never felt,Jus.It was beyond my greatest dreams.I now realized that you,and you alone, are the one that can satisfy me,that can make me feel complete." Justin hugged him close again,feeling Michael's happiness. "Why did you cry yourself to sleep last night?" Michael looked at Justin,seeing the feelings in his heart. "It wasn't you,Jus.I know that you feel your bringing up your leaving was the cause.It wasn't." Justin looked at Michael.He was totally aware of Justin's feelings. Michael sat up,looking at Justin. "Ever since I have given in to my feelings for you Justin,I have felt a connection with you.I am in tune with all your feelings,all your thoughts.I can't read your mind,I would never want that.I can feel your feelings.I think our souls have connected on a higher level.Do you think thats stupid?" Justin sat up beside him. "No,Michael,I don't.I believe your right.I saw it this morning. You were right,I did feel it was my fault you had cried.And I felt sad about it.You woke up as soon as I felt bad,wondering if there was something wrong.We are connected.And I wouldn't want to be connected to anyone else." Michael smiled,kissing Justin again on the cheek. "I was crying because I finally realized your mine,body and soul." Justin looked at Michael with love. "Its true,Jus.I love you completely." Justin's smile was the largest Michael had ever seen it.He looked like the happiest man alive. Justin jumped on top of Michael,kissing him with wild abandonment.It turned into passion quickly. They kissed and fondled each other,making their lust evident. "We better calm down,babe.As much as we both want this,we do have other people here.Nana should be getting up soon." Michael smiled up at him. "I want to get up and make breakfast for everyone." Justin smiled.There was Michael's caring heart again. They got up,kissing and flirting with each other,putting robes on. Justin started to go out the door,but Michael put his hand on his,stopping him. "Come here,my love." Justin turned to him,Michael kissing him deeply.They stood there,lost in each other's lips. After a few moments,Michael patted Justin on his butt. "Time to shower,sexy.Then we can start breakfast." Justin smiled. "Don't even think it,mister.We have to behave,Nana is here,remember." Justin pouted. "But we can shower together,quickly." Justin's smile returned. They walked out,quietly making their way to the bathroom. They spent twenty minutes,showering together,shaving together,just being together. After dressing and making the bed, they walked hand in hand into the kitchen. Justin helped Michael start breakfast,putting coffee on while Michael started the cooking.He kissed him now and then,to show his love for him.Michael enjoyed it as much as Justin. They heard the running of little feet heading towards the kitchen.Turning they saw Becky run into the kitchen,throwing herself at an already kneeling Justin. "Good morning,Justin." She yelled,laughing. Justin smiled a big smile for her,hugging her."Morning,Becky." Michael beamed at Justin's happiness for this child. Justin carried her over to the table as Nana walked into the kitchen. "You beat me to it, Michael.Your too quick." Nana said,kissing him on the cheek. "Good morning,Nana.Just relax,have a seat with Justin and Becky.I have everything under control." Michael smiled at her. She sat down at the table.Justin got up to go and get the paper. Nana gave Becky a glass of juice from the already set table. Michael stopped suddenly,feeling something was wrong. Justin walked into the kitchen again,his face white and in shock. Michael ran up to him. "What wrong,sweetie?" Justin showed him the front page of the paper. There on the front page was a picture of Justin holding Becky. The headline read: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE SAVES MOTHER AND SMALL CHILD FROM RAPISTS "Oh,my god,Justin.Where did that pic come from?" Michael was just as shocked as Justin. "I don't know,babe.I don't remember seeing anyone else there.But then we were busy.This was taken right after you gave Becky to me. Michael looked down at the picture again,starting to read the article.Justin ran his hands through his own hair trying to calm down about this. "This isn't right,Mike.Your the hero here,not me.I didn't do anything.All I did was take care of Becky.This is nothing but fabricated lies." Michael stopped reading, looking up at Justin,pulling him into a hug.He had sensed Justin's anger rising,needing to nip that in the butt. "Calm down,sweetie.This is just a pack of lies.They haven't gotten any of the facts straight.We know the truth,all of us.Thats all that matters." "No,Michael.Thats not right.I am not a hero,I didn't do anything.Your picture should be there,not mine.This is just cheap sensationalizm to sell papers.Why didn't they check the police reports,find out your name.Its just not right." Michael continued to hold Justin,Nana taking the paper from Michael's hand,reading it. She sat down showing Becky her picture. Becky smiled up at Justin. "Hey Justin.Its you and me.We look really hot." Justin started laughing,Michael joining in. Becky's innocence had eased the tension in the room. Nana smiled at the child. She read the article out loud to everyone. Michael and Justin sat down together,shoulder to shoulder,hands entwined. After a few minutes,Nana sat the paper down. "So it was a passerby who snapped the pic.She didn't realize who you were till you walked by her when you were leaving.Then she took the pic to the papers."Michael said,looking at Justin. "Oh god,Mike.The police.Won't you get in trouble for not telling them I was there." Michael patted Justin's arm. "I did tell them,Justin.I told them you and Lonnie had left before they arrived,and your reasons for that.The officer was understanding about your predicament.I told him that you weren't involved in the attack at all.I'm sorry,Jus.I have always tried to be truthful,even you can't change that in me." Justin smiled,kissing Michael. "I wouldn't want you any other way,babe." Michael smiled back. "What pisses me off,is that your not even mentioned,Michael.That lady must of seen your fighting them.How could they distort this so much." "Because I don't sell papers,Justin.You do." There was a knock at the door,Michael got up and dissappeared into the living room. Justin and Nana looked at each other,Nana smiling understandingly. "Your remarkable Justin.You want Michael to get all the credit.Takes a fine man to admit the truth." Justin leaned over kissing her on the cheek. "Michael deserves the credit.And I am going to make sure he gets it." Michael walked back into the kitchen. "Is someone in here missing a mommy?" Becky looked up from her chair at Michael. Her mother walked out from behind him. Becky's face lit up ,her smile infecting everyone's heart. She ran over to her mom,leaping into her arms.Her mother had tears in her eyes. Lonnie walked out from the living room,Justin looking at his strange. "Mike asked me last night to swing by and pick Christina up this morning when she was released." Justin smiled at Michael,knowing his man took care of every detail in everyone's lives. Michael introduced Christina to his grandmother,Nana hugging her,telling her how special her daughter was,a little angel. Christina smiled. "Okay,everyone.Grab a chair and park it.My breakfast feast is ready." Michael headed to the kitchen,bringing in bowls and platters of food. He had prepared a lot,knowing Lonnie and Christina would be showing up. Everyone dived in,filling their plates with eggs,bacon,sausages,fruit and an assortment of pancakes,crepes and johnny cakes. Michael was indeed a wonderful cook.He set a large basket of his rolls was in the center of the table,Justin grabbing two. Michael smiled at him,knowing his feelings for his rolls. "Ya gotta try these,its heaven in your mouth." Everyone grabbed one. He received basically the same reactions from everyone including Nana when they tasted them.No one could believe he had baked them. "Where on earth did you learn to bake these,Michael?" Nana asked,looking at him with awe. "Who said anything about earth." Michael said straight faced. Everyone was quiet. He started laughing ,everyone soon joining in. They continued eating, lost in the flavours of Michael's food. After everyone had their fill,Justin showed Lonnie and Christina the paper,both looking on with anger once they had read the article. "Thats so unfair.Michael was the hero there,not you Justin." Lonnie said,Justin agreeing with him. "Yes,I owe my life and my daughter's to him.I agree with Justin." Everyone was adding comments and their own views. Michael looked at all of them,seeing them all sticking up for him. "Stop." Michael's voice carried around the room,louder than everyone else's. Everyone went silent,looked at him. "I want everyone to understand something.I am not a hero. I knew someone was in danger and I reacted.I did what I felt I had to do.nothing less.End of story. I don't care about the world knowing,about fame and reknown.That doesn't matter to me. All that matters to me is that two people who I now consider friends,are safe,unharmed and here. I'm mad that Justin had to take the brunt of this,thats exactly what I didn't want to happen. I'm sorry Justin,I'm sorry that I failed you." Michael got up, heading out of the room. Justin was out of his chair in a flash,stopping him before he could leave. "God,Mikey,you didn't fail me.You protected me, you protected all of us.You can't stop one stray person from taking a picture,thats not your fault.You were the one who had the hindsight to get me out of there fast.Imagine if I had stayed.How many other photographs would there of been.Photographs of you and me.You protected me,Michael.You reduced the chaos,Mikey." Michael looked at Justin,feeling his truth,his reasoning. "Its unfortunated that everything else turned into a lie,that the truth was lost.But you are a hero,Michael.Your my hero." "And mine." Christina said standing. "And mine too." Becky stood beside her mom. Michael's eyes were watering,Justin kissed him on the lips. "Mommy,Justin and Michael are always kissing." Michael started laughing while Justin continued to kiss him. They both turned looking down at Becky. "Thats because they love each other,Becky." Christina saying what they were feeling. They both smiled at her. She winked back at Justin. Justin looked at Michael. "She figured it out yesterday.You and your bad poker face.What am I going to do with you?" Justin laughed, tickling Michael until he was on to the floor.Becky climbed on top trying to tickle him too. Michael's laughter was filling the room. "Stop them,help me.Get these two kids off me." Christina and Nana were laughing,while Lonnie was eating another of Michael's rolls. "Ok,you two,thats enough.Leave poor Mico alone."Nana said,coming to his aide. Nana winked at Christina,both getting up. Justin and Becky got up,but only for a moment was Michael free.Two wild women were on top of him in a flash,tickling him again. Justin and Becky were laughing now. But Justin couldn't let his man down. He reached down pulling the two women off him,pulling his Michael up to him. "I saved you,babe.Those sexy women won't hurt you any more." "Thanks,lover.Glad your on my side.But remember,payback is a ..." Justin silenced him with a deep kiss. Everyone looked at them. "Awwwwwwwwww" They all said in unison. Justin and Michael walked out into the livingroom,everyone following with coffee. "So whats up for today,babe?" Justin sitting in his lap for a change. "Well,its almost nine now,my appointment with Anna is at ten thirty." "Oh yeah,right.And I have some work related stuff this aft." "Oh yeah,I remember you said you had some stuff to do on your mini vacation." "Yeah,sorry about this,Mikey." "Don't apologize,Jus.You know my feelings about your career,so stop it." Justin smiled at him,Michael was so understanding. "So what do you have to do,an interview or something." Justin smirked,looking at everyone. "How would everyone like to come and see Oprah." Everyone looked at Justin with shock. "I'm on her show today.I can get you all in if your interested." Everyone agreed,but Michael felt a touch of unease. This would be his first time in public with Justin.He didn't know what his role would be,although he knew he would be on the sidelines.He wouldn't let anything interfere with the Timberlake image. Justin sensed Michael's unease,his own senses were coming in tune with Michael's. "Babe,I want you there.I am not going to hide you.You are my friend also,remember.To everyone thats what you will be,a close friend.And I don't give a hoot what anyone thinks." Michael smiled at Justin,knowing his true feelings were the same. "Ok,Jus.Its your call,I will follow." "Only in public,babe.In private we walk together." Michael smiled,kissing Justin. "So what time should we be there? my appointment is only for an hour and a half. I'd like to drop by Vito's and introduce Christina to him." Christina smiled,remembering Michael's news. "I'd like to meet him too,if I am going to be working for him." She smiled. "Well the taping starts at four,so you should be there by three or three fifteen.I will call and set it all up." "Okay,Justin.Then,Chrisina, if we have time we can swing by your apartment and take a look at it." Everyone looked at Christina,she had a confused look on her face. He smiled at her. "Vito's brother owns a complex about three blocks from here.He has a three bedroom apartment for rent.I've done a lot of work for him,so he's more than happy to help me out, with a lowered rental fee." Christina began sobbing,her emotions overtaking her. Justin got out of Michael's lap,both of them going up to her,hugging her. "Michael,you are so unbelieveable.I can't begin to thank you."She sobbed into his chest. Michael lifted her face up. "Friends help friends.Always remember that card.Never give up hope.I am a firm believer in that." Michael looked at Justin. Justin understood Michael's meaning. She hugged both of them together,Becky grabbing onto Justin's leg and Michael's,Nana and Lonnie smiling. They all sat down,organizing the day,making plans. Michael would take his car to his appointment,slip back and pick up Christina and Becky,go to Vito's and then,time permitting stop at the apartment.Justin,Lonnie and Nana would stay at Michael's apartment,till they got back.Then Lonnie would drive Nana,Christina and Becky to the studio.Justin would drive there with Michael. They sat around chatting for a few minutes until Justin's cell rang. He answered it. "Hello,Justin here?" "Baby,whats going on.I just saw on televison that you saved two people in a fight.Are you alright.What the hell's gong on.Jesus,Justin,are you crazy?" Justin's face dropped. "Mom,calm down,its just a big misunderstanding." Justin looking at Michael.Michael pointed to the bedroom.Justin walked down to the bedroom closing the door. Michael sat waiting for Justin to finish talking to his mother.After a few minutes he got a feeling,Justin was upset,he was upset and feeling alone. Michael got up,everyone watching him leave. He walked into the bedroom,finding JUstin still on the phone,his eyes were full of tears. "Please mom,try to understand,I'm sorry.No I don't want to.Please,he's my friend.You'd like him,he's so nice." Justin looked up at him,Michael could see the hurt in his eyes.He was almost on the brink of sobbing. "Give me the phone,Justin." Justin looked up at him. "Now." Justin saw a look in Michael's eyes.It was a look of determination.Michael's protective nature lay in that look. He handed him the phone. "Hello,Mrs.Timberlake.My name is Michael Tavarro." Michael sat down beside Justin,putting his arm around him. "Mr.Tavarro.Why are you on the phone?" "I wanted to talk to you,Mrs.Timberlake.But please, call me Michael." "Okay,Michael.My name is Lynn." "Nice to meet you,Lynn.Justin has told me a lot about you.If its okay,could I ask you a personal question?" "All right,you may." "Why are you hurting your son?" Justin looked up at Michael.Shock and fear in his eyes.Fear for Michael. "Excuse me? What are you talking about?" "Well lets see,your son is sitting here crying because of something you said.He's visibly upset.What did you say to him?" "Well,if you must know,I told him he was crazy to make friends with someone who would endanger his life.Thats what you did,wasn't it? You endangered my son's life.And you say your a friend?" Michael could feel her anger through the phone. Michael felt his own anger simmering.He had to play this right. "I never endangered his life.The only life I endangered was my own.He wasn't involved in the fighting at all.If you find you have to believe a newspaper before your own son,then maybe I misjudged you.Justin told me you were his strength,his support and most of all,his mother.Isn't it time you showed him that strength." "Of course that is what I am.Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?" Michael looked at Justin. "I am his friend.I care about him.And anyone who hurts him,or upsets him,regardless if their his mother or whoever,will have me to deal with.I will defend him when he's being hurt.I don't want to upset you,madam,but those are my feelings.Instead of yelling at your son,you should talk to him.And listen also.Give him the credit of your upbringing before you chew him out.For god sake's your his mother.His love for you knows no bounds,shouldn't yours also?" Lynn ran through her mind everything Michael was saying.She realized that maybe he was right,she shouldn't of become angry with Justin without getting all the facts first.She had overreacted and badly.She hadn't realized how badly,until Michael had said Justin was crying." "All right,Michael. I understand where your coming from.I'm sorry if I overreacted." "Its not me you should be saying that to,its Justin.I'll put him back on the phone.I wish we could of met under better circumstances.but it has been nice meeting you,Lynn.Take care." Michael handed the phone back to Justin.Justin looked at him in wonder. He put the phone back to his ear. "Mom,you there." "Yes,Justin.I need to talk with you some more.First off,I'm sorry." Justin was shocked,his mom rarely apologized for saying her mind. "That's okay,mom." "No,Justin its not.I flew off without giving you a chance to explain.Please go ahead,I've calmed down.Please talk to me." Justin smiled,looking at Michael.Michael blew him a kiss,walking back out of the bedroom. He walked back into the living room,sitting down.No one said anything,they could all see a look of determination on Michael's face. Becky got up off the floor with her doll,climbing into his lap,hugging up against him. "Love ya,Michael." She said. "Love ya to,Becky." He smiled at her. He just sat there,talking quietly to her about her doll. After another ten minutes Justin came back into the room,his face had a smile on it. He leaped onto the couch beside Michael and Becky.Becky laughed,crawling into his lap,putting her doll up to his face.He kissed her doll. "Tina loves ya,Justin." "Justin loves both Tina and Becky." Becky smiled,getting off his lap and sitting down on the floor again playing with her doll. Justin looked at Michael. "Your a piece of work,Tavarro." Michael smiled shyly. "No one has stood up to my mom like that.I'd thought she would of tore you a new one." Michael put his head down,thinking he had gone too far. "She wanted me to tell you,thanks." Michael looked up at him. "She said thanks.Thanks for making her look at herself.She realized she'd made a fool of herself.We talked all about it,Michael.She understands how she's reacted with me.I told her all about what happened yesterday,using discretion of course.She said to tell you that she thinks your a hero too." Michael raised his eyebrow.He hated everyone using that word. "I know,I know.Your not a hero." Justin rolled his eyes,Michael pinched him in the ribs. Justin laughed. Everyone smiled ,understanding that there had been some friction between Justin and his mom and that Michael had stood up for him. Somehow that didn't surprise anyone. They chatted for a while,just relaxing. "Well I should get going,its after nine thirty,and my appointment's at ten thirty." Michael said. Justin got up with him,helping him on with his coat,patting his butt while he did it. "Keep those paws off me Timberlake,who knows where they've been." "If there weren't people here,I'd show you where they should be." Justin countered. "How about I tie them behind your back and show you where mine ought to be." Michael winked at him. One upmanship again. Justin was blushing,Michael was laughing. Justin grabbed his coat walking out with Michael. "I want to see your car,Mikey?" "It's nothing much,Jus?"Michael knew Justin just wanted to be with him. They waved goodbye to everyone. They walked outside,Michael crossing the street to a small parking lot. He walked over to a small Toyota,just an average car. "Michael this is so small." "This, my love, is a piece of me.I have had it for five years.There is only me,Jus.Its big enough for me.Its always got me where I needed to go." Justin smiled,but picking up on Michael's reference to being alone.He wouldn't be that anymore. "You sure you don't want me to tag along?" Michael knew Justin would ask. He smiled,getting into the driver's seat. "No,sweetie.Its just me,remember.Me that need to do this,me alone." Justin smiled at his acceptance,looking around,leaning in for one more kiss. They parted,waving goodbye to each other. Justin walked back up to the apartment,Nana and Christina,as well as Lonnie were cleaning up the kitchen. He sat down at the table,not saying much. Nana picked up on his mood. "Man,you got it bad,son." Justin looked up at her blushing. "He's only been gone two minutes." "I know,that doesn't mean I don't miss him." Nana understood completely,knowing that the end of the week would be hard on both of them.Distance is always a killer. But she knew their love was global,no distance would come between that love. "So tell us about the Oprah show,are you going to sing?" Christina piped up. Justin smiled. "Yes, and I am going to do one better.But I need all your help." Everyone turned looking at Justin,seeing his mind working on something. Michael sat in Anna's office,relaxing on the white fabric couch.Anna in a chair beside her. "So, this is the famous physiciatrist's couch I heard about.I always thought they had to be leather." Anna laughed. "Sorry to dissapoint you,I am actually thinking of putting in a gucuzzi." Michael laughed louder. They had become fast friends,more than doctor and patient. Michael had told her all about yesterday,and some other things.She took it all in stride,seeing more confidence in Michael. He told her about Justin too,it didn't seem to surprise her.She told him she had suspected as much.He had to talk to Justin about his poker face.He laughed in spite of himself. He felt so relieved to tell her everything,although she seemed taken aback at first about his gifts.but she took it well. she even helped him to come to terms with some issues relating to it. Their hour and a half flew by.At almost the end of the session her secretary buzzed her,saying someone needed to see her patient. Since their time was up,she told her to send them in. Michael got up ready to leave,when Justin walked into the room. Michael raised an eyebrow,looking at him. "Surprise,babe." He walked over to him,kissing him. Anna smiled,behind him,loving Justin's openness. "Sorry to crash the party." Yeah,I bet you are.But,um,Justin,I hadn't told Anna about us." JUstin looked at Anna,a false shocked look on her face,her mouth hanging open. Justin froze,his face blushing a deep red. Michael started laughing,Anna couldn't help it either. Justin smirked realizing he had been set up. "Your so dead,Michael." "I must of been a cat in another life.Thats four lives I have used up since I met you." Justin started laughing,Anna joining in. Michael's humor was infectious. Anna looked at Justin. "Congrats on landing a great catch,Justin." Justin smiled. "Yep,I got the best one going." Anna smiled at Michael's reaction to that.His face was filled with love. He's going to be all right.He's accepted his feelings. "Well I won't hold you guys up,see you next week,Michael." "Yeah,doc,and thanks,again." He hugged her,she hugged him back. Justin hugged her too,then messed up her hair. "Later,Scotchgrass." Anna leared at him,trying to fix her hair. "Timberlake,you know what I said I'd do if you ever called me that again." Justin put his hands in front of his crotch,protecting himself. Michael just laughed. "Scotchgrass?" "Lets just say I had problems with my hairstyle when I was a kid and leave it at that." Justin winked at her,pulling Michael out of the room. Everyone was in the waiting room. "Whats this?" Michael said,looking at everyone. "Well,since your going to Vito's anyway,we thought we might as well all go there for lunch." Nana said. Michael smiled.Why hadn't he thought of that? "You can't think of everything,Mikey." Justin replied,Michael amazed he had read his thoughts. Justin smiled at him. They all walked out,seperating downstairs,Justin going with Michael in his car,everyone else in Lonnie's SUV. Justin and Michael talked while Michael drove,Michael keeping both hands on the wheel.Justin's hand was on Michael's knee,but gradually working its way up to his crotch. MIchael knew where this was heading.He wished it could go all the way.Justin had a sexy look on his face,and Michael wanted him bad. "Sweetie,your such a tease.Do you know how your affecting me right now?" Justin moved his hand into Michael's lap,feeling how he was affecting him. Michael moaned,trying to concentrate on driving. "God,stop please,Jus.I can't take any more." Justin smiled. "Wait till tonight,I will show you how much you can take." Michael caught the double meaning. Justin didn't know it,but Michael was ready.Ready to go the final step.To give himself completely to Justin. To erase the pain of that act,and replace it with love. That was going to be Michael's parting gift to Justin. A gift that hopefully would make him come back. Michael still believed in a small part of his heart, that Justin wouldn't. JUstin sensed some unease in Michael.That he was worried about something. "What's wrong babe? I sense some unease in you.What's bothering you?" Michael wished that Justin couldn't feel that in him. "Damn these gifts,they have made us one in an uncomfortable way." Justin looked at Michael. "What do you mean,babe?" "I mean we can both feel each other's feelings now.Maybe sometimes,we don't want the other to feel them." Justin felt hurt.Michael realized it immediately. "Oh,Justin.I said that wrong.What I meant to say was that maybe I am a bit uncomfortable with this.I am not uncomfortable with you." Justin smiled again. "I know what you mean.But I don't think there's anything we can do about it,my love.We're stuck with each other,and with our knowing each other's feelings." Michael smiled. "So,you never answered my question." Michael sighed. He pulled into the parking lot at Vito's.He shut the car motor off,waiting for Lonnie to pull in. "I'm still worried that you won't come back." Justin was shocked.Michael was that insecure. "I talked to Anna about you today,Jus.About all my feelings. I am in deep,Jus. I am head over heels in love with you.I've taking the leap,and my trust and love is all yours. And I want to take that final step.I want you to make love to me. The true act of love between two men,I want to be yours completely. I want to give myself to you.I want that act to mean something more than pain.Thats all its meant for me for six years. I couldn't let anyone touch me for that fear. Now its gone,and I've found a loving man,a man I love.I want you,Jus. I want you to be mine,forever. I will give myself to you,if you'll only come back." Tears were in Michael's eyes. "Listen to me Michael.I am coming back.I wish I didn't have to leave.But you have accepted my career and you know we will be seperated.I don't like it just as much as you don't.But I am coming back.You are my life now,Michael.Without you I am nothing.I can't live without you. You don't have to sacrifice your body to make me come back.I love you,knucklehead. Its time you got that drilled into your head. Understand?" Michael's tears were flowing. "Yes,Justin.I feel it in my heart that you'll be with me forever.I just wish my mind could have a talk with my heart." "Its only ten days,Michael.Then we can discuss the future after that.I want you with me.I have already asked you,its up to you to decide where you want to be.I will abide by your decision.I love you,always remember that." Justin kissed him,all Michael's fears now in the open. Justin could deal with them in only one way. By walking back into Michael's life after those ten days apart. That would end Michael's fears.That and Justin's surprise gift. And Justin knew that nothing would keep him from Michael. End of Chapter 23 Another chapter completed,but not that much farther ahead.
