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 As the first rays of the new morning came shining through the window,Justin awoke with Michael laying against him. This was a new morning. A new morning filled with a new love.Last night had bonded their relationship in a new way. Justin and Michael were in love.In true love. Justin smiled looking down on his lover. Michael had a smile on his face. Yes,they were in love finally.A trusting ,loving relationship. Justin heard a banging noise,and a distant buzzing.It took a moment for him to realize someone must be knocking and hitting the buzzer of the front door. Justin got up,pulling on a robe. He looked quickly at Michael.He hadn't moved much,deep in sleep.The smile still on his beautiful face. Justin smiled. He ran down the hall,now hearing the hammering. He went to the front door,opening it. There stood JC Chasez. Chapter 26 Justin stared at his friend,surprised and shocked to see him. Lonnie was standing behind him in the hallway,his face showing embarrassment. "Josh,what are you doing here?" "Is that the best way to say hello to your best friend?" Justin smiled,hugging Josh,Josh returning the hug. "So,let me in.We need to talk.Right now." Justin's guard went up.Josh never showed up unannounced. Josh walked past him,looking around the apartment. "Who's place is this,Justin?Why weren't you at your hotel? Lonnie wouldn't tell me why your here?I had to threaten it out of him,where you were." Justin looked at Lonnie,Lonnie smiling at him,but avoiding his eyes. "This is Michael's apartment.I've been staying here with him the last couple of days." "Oh,yeah.That writer guy you told me about.Where is he?" "He's sleeping.It's only seven in the morning,Josh.Why are you here so early and why are you in Chicago?" Josh looked at his friend.He saw Justin's back was up,like he was on the defense about something. "Hey Jus,relax.I was worried about you,buddy.I read the story in the paper yesterday.I couldn't get ahold of Lynn,so I flew up here to make sure your okay." Justin relaxed a bit, but was feeling trapped here. "You could of called me,Josh? You didn't have to come here." "I had some free time till the weekend,so I thought I'd come up and make sure your alright.I care about ya man." Josh saw the red mark on Justin's neck,he knew what that was.Did Justin have a new girl here in Chicago? He had more important questions to get answered first. "What the hells going on,Jus?You fighting people? Do you know how dangerous a situation you almost got yourself into? My god,man,you could of been killed." "I wasn't in the fight at all,Josh.Michael took those two guys on,not me.The newspaper got the whole story wrong.I was just a bystander.Lonnie and I.Michael saved Christina and Becky,not me." Josh looked at Justin,relieved that he hadn't been involved with those creeps.But this Michael,he had let his Justin walk into that kind of danger.What kind of a friend was this guy. Justin could see Josh was becoming agitated. "This doesn't say much for your so called friend,Jus.Does he always go around fighting people? Does he always put his friends lives in danger? What kind of a freak is he?" Justin anger flashed brightly.His voice rose. "Don't you ever call him a freak,Josh.Michael is my friend.You don't know him,you don't know anything about him.I don't ever want to hear you say anything like that again about him,got it?" Josh was shocked,Justin had never laid into him like this.Especially defending someone he'd just met.Why was he defending him so openly? Josh stared at him,deciding to calm things down. "I'm sorry,Justin.Forgive me,I didn't mean to upset you.Your right,I don't know him.I shouldn't critized someone I haven't even met.". "So maybe its time you met him.How does right now sound?" Josh turned around,looking at the young man standing in the doorway.Josh's breath caught in his throat.He was beyond handsome.His face was flawless,so beautiful to look at.Dark,chiseled, good looks.He wore a tight tshirt and sweatpants,his slim muscular body showing underneath.Josh felt a stirring inside him,an instant lust for this man.This man was breathtaking. Justin beamed at Michael,seeing his love standing in the sunlight,looking so alive,like a new man. Michael walked over to Josh extending his hand. "I'm Michael Tavarro,Mr.Chasez." Josh looked into his eyes,never before seeing such golden eyes.They seemed to gaze into his soul.He sensed something familiar about them. "Nice to meet you,Michael.Please call me JC." They shook hands,Michael feeling an instance of pain.It went to his mind and he began to understand what that pain was. Justin saw Michael's face cringe a tiny bit,as if he was in pain for the briefest of moments. It passed as quickly as it had come. Michael smiled at JC. "Justin has told me so much about you,and I am a great fan of your music.But I should get something straight first." Justin smiled,seeing Michael taking control of the conversation. JC smiled back at Michael,cautiously. "I heard most of your conversation,I understand your deep concern for Justin's safety.Your truly are his best friend.But believe me,I would never put him in danger,you have my word on that.I would only ever protect him." Michael looked at Justin,Justin seeing the love ever present in his eyes. "Your right.Justin is my best friend,I love him." Josh threw the statement at Michael. Michael smiled at JC,who's eyes seeming to be judging him. "Would you like some coffee? I can whip us all up some breakfast." "Thank you,Michael.I'd like that." JC said,never taking his eyes off this handsome stranger. "Justin,can I see you for a moment.Lon,take JC ahead into the kitchen,I will be in shortly." Michael smiled at Lonnie. "Sure thing Michael.JC,this way.I'll start the coffee,Michael." "Thanks,Lon." Michael walked back towards the bedroom,Justin following. When they were behind the closed door,Justin started to say something but was silenced by a deep kiss from Michael. Their lips felt on fire,Michael seemed to be sucking the love out of him. They parted,Justin staring at Michael. "Wow." Michael beamed at him. "Thats my thanks for last night.My love." Justin felt a tear in his eye. "I'm sorry he showed up,Mikey.I wanted us to wake up together and make love again this morning.Last night was heavenly and this was to be just the start." Michael put his finger to his lips. "He's your friend,Jus.He cares about you.Thats why he's here.And we have the rest of our lives to make love to each other." Justin smiled at Michael's understanding and his immediate acceptance of Justin's friend. "So why don't you get dressed,before Mr.Happy makes another appearance from underneath that robe.I know your naked under there,I say his head peaking out when you were standing in the living room,your robe was open a bit." Michael put his hand under the robe,gently grabbing ahold of Justin's enlarging member. Justin moaned.He so wanted to have Michael make love to him right now.Justin pulled opened his robe,letting it fall to the floor. Michael looked at the beautiful nude man standing in front of him.He was breathtaking.His body there for him. But this wasn't the time. Not now,not after what Michael had just felt. He leaned in,kissing Justin on the lips,then backing towards the door. "Your too tempting my love.I have to leave because I can't resist much longer.If that were to happen,we'd be in here forever,your too fantastic to just taste for a moment." Justin teared up,knowing Michael loved him so much. "Get dressed,my love." Michael started to leave,Justin grabbing his arm,Michael turning to look at him. "I want to tell him,Michael.I want to tell him about us.I don't want to hide this from him,not when I love you so much." Michael put his hand against Justin's cheek,looking into his eyes. "Whatever you decide,I will be by your side,my love.Its both of us together,Jus,neither of us will ever be alone again." Justin kissed him, a kiss of pure love. "I promise you the same,my love." "Get dressed,and wear something sexy." Michael winked at him,patting his nude ass. Justin smiled, his love so evident. Michael walked out closing the door. He stopped,and leaned against the door. How could he tell Justin what he saw in Josh's soul. That Josh was in love with Justin.That Josh's love for Justin was hammering at Michael's soul.Threatening to break in and steal his love,the love given by Justin. But it didn't change anything for Michael.Justin was his now,Michael needed him. If Josh wanted him he would have to fight him for Justin. Michael's heart was free now,free to be given.And he had given it to Justin. No one else would ever have it. And no one would take his Justin from him.Without his Justin he would be lost. Michael smiled,a new determination in his soul. His love would be Justin's,now and forever. And he would make sure Josh understood that. He walked down the hallway,entering the kitchen. Lonnie and Josh were sitting at the table. "Justin is just getting dressed,he'll be out momentarily." Michael started getting breakfast ready. "So how did you and Justin meet? Justin said your a friend of Vicky's?" "Yes, I'm her roommate actually,this is our apartment.She's due back this aft.As for Justin's and I meeting,its quite a story." Michael told JC about their colliding at the party,his injuries,Justin's caring for him and their fast track to friendship.He didn't relay any of his own painful past. "So he became friends with you because he felt sorry for you." Michael tensed up,his doubts appearing.Lonnie picked up on it. "No,I became his friend because I saw the real him." Justin said as he entered the room. He wore a skin tight baby blue tshirt and faded blue jeans that were riding low on his hips. Michael's smile came back on his face,bigger than ever.That was indeed something sexy he was wearing. Lonnie relaxed seeing Michael's smile back.But he still didn't like what was going on here. Justin looked at Lonnie,Lonnie feeling for him. "I think its time you understood whats going on here,Josh." Josh looked up at Justin,seeing determination and something more in his face. He watched Justin slowly look at Michael,and he saw Michael's face radiate a beauty that Josh felt was only meant for Justin. What the hells going on here,their looking at each other with love in their eyes,Josh thought,feeling unsettled. Justin sat down in the chair beside Josh. "Josh, this is hard for me to say,so I'm just going to try and say it." Josh was still looking at Michael as Michael walked over and stood behind Justin,leaning against the counter.As if he was there to give Justin support.Jc turned his gaze to Justin. "You and I have been friends for a long time,Josh.I think of you as a brother.what you think of me is important to me.I need your acceptance." Jc put his hand on top of Justin's. "Go on,Jus." "This is hard for me to talk to you about,Josh.I've had these feelings inside me for a long time.Its part of why Cam and I broke up." Josh held his breath,sensing what was coming. "I'm gay Josh." Josh's felt his heart soar,his friend,his Justin,was like him.He could now fall in love with him,his dreams could be fullfilled.Hope leaped into his heart. He looked at Justin,seeing Justin's fear,his fear that Josh would hate him. JC got up,and put his arms around Justin,hugging him. "It's alright,Justin.This doesn't change how I feel about you.It makes me love you the same,if not more.I am still your friend,Jus." Justin smile lit up his face. Even Josh didn't turn away from him.It gave him hope that everyone could accept him. "There's something more,Josh." Josh broke the hug,watching Justin stand up and go to Michael.He put his hand in Michael's. "Michael and I have fallen in love." Josh froze.He stared at Michael,looking him in the eyes. Michael stared back,his golden brown eyes showing his love,his love for Josh's Justin. "Your in love with him? How can you be in love when you've only met him a few days ago." Justin looked at Michael,who squeezed his hand. "The moment I met him I knew he was my soulmate.Its that simple,Josh.I have been searching my whole life for him,the true one who'd love me completely." Justin kissed Michael,tenderly. "This beautiful man has my love,my heart and my soul." Michael teared up hearing Justin profess his love for him in front of his best friend. Josh stared at them, hurt showing in his eyes,hurt beyond measure.His love,the one he'd wanted for so long,was in love with this stranger. No,it wasn't possible. "No,I can't allow this,Justin.You can't be in love with this guy,you don't even know what he's capable of.He's already endangered your life,I won't allow this." Justin stared at his friend,realizing he wasn't going to accept Michael.That he didn't want Justin to be with him.But Why? "But,Josh,you don't know him.You don't know whats happened between us." "I know damn well whats happened between you.I see the evidence on your neck.He's lured you into his bed and fucked you,or let you fuck him,and now he's got you totally confused.Your just thinking with your dick,Justin.I've seen guys like this before,they only use you to get ahead.He's after your money or your fame,Jus.Smarten up and see the real him." Justin's face changed,to a look of immense hurt.Michael could see tears forming. Michael's anger was simmering. "How dare you talk to Justin like that.Our love life isn't any your concern.Justin has been thinking and acting on his own,I haven't forced him into doing something that he didn't want to happen." Josh looked at Michael.He knew his type. "How did it feel to get fucked by Justin Timberlake? Did that give you a rush,or would you like me to fuck you,too.Are you looking to become a boy band whore? Or are you just a whore?" The floodgates to Michael's anger broke. He grabbed Josh by the shirt,lifting him up and throwing him backwards,Josh landing back in his chair. "Don't you ever call me that.Do you understand me." Josh sat there staring at Michael,in disbelief.How could such a small guy have such strength.He was sensing immense anger in him.His eyes almost seemed to blaze. Justin and Lonnie moved to grab onto Michael,knowing why that word had set him off. As soon as Justin touched him,Michael calmed down,focusing back to reality. He turned and looked at Justin,seeing the love still there,but also hurt,hurt at his friend's hurtful words. Michael calmed down,not wanting to do what he was being forced to do.For Justin,and for his love,he would have do this.He'd always promised to tell him everything,even this. He turned back to Josh,who still looked terrified of him. "You stand here,barking insults at Justin and me,when your heart carries its own secret." Josh mouth gaped open. "Why don't you tell your friend the truth.The truth about yourself." Justin stared at Josh,confused. "What are you talking about,Mico?" Michael looked at Justin,hearing that endearment from him,made his heart skip. "Ask your friend,Jus.Lets see if he has the guts to tell you." Michael backed away,leaning back against the counter,lowering his head. Justin sensed Michael was hurt about something. He looked at Josh,who was staring at Michael. "Whats going on Josh? Whats your secret?" How had Michael known,thought Josh.He looked at him,sensing something different about this man.That this man was doing this for Justin. Josh turned and looked at Justin.Justin was looking at him with hurt eyes.Hurt because of what he'd said to Michael. "I'm gay,Justin.I'm just like you.I've hidden it for years.But unlike you I've always known.Just like I've always known that I have wanted you.I'm in love with you,Justin." Justin stood stunned,staring at his friend,never imagining that he felt that way about him. Lonnie stared blankly at Josh. It couldn't be true,all these years and he'd never said anything. Why now,why tell Justin now. It dawned on Justin, what was happening here.This was Michael's doing. Michael made Josh confess,he didn't want him to,but he had to let Justin know the truth.EVen if it hurt himself.He did it only for Justin's sake, he wouldn't keep this from him. That was the hurt he felt in Michael. Michael's inner doubt, that he couldn't survive or even compete against the great Joshua Chasez. Justin looked at Michael,his love.His head was still lowered.He looked defeated. Justin moved away from Josh,walking over to his Michael. He put his arms around him,holding him close.Michael looked up at him,searching his eyes.It was still there,that endless love. Justin kissed him again,with passion. Then he turned to look at his best friend. "Thank you for being honest with me. But I'm sorry Josh.I don't and can't feel that way towards you.Your my friend,my best friend.We developed that friendship over years of trust and honesty. Once a long time ago,I felt something for you.A youthful crush.But I've grown up,Josh.You'll always have a place in my heart,as my best friend.Michael is my one and only love.Its him I love with all my heart.I'm sorry." Michael's heart filled with happiness.Justin was still his.He'd never leave him.His words sank to the core of him,his soul finally felt healed. Michael looked at JC,seeing the hurt and pain in his eyes.It hurt Michael to see him like that,he didn't want this victory at the cost of Justin's and JC's friendship. "It took courage to tell him that,JC.I sensed the love in your eyes.I knew what was in your heart.I'm sorry for putting you in that position.But you have to understand something about me. I love Justin with all my heart and soul.I am his forever.I don't want to come between your friendship.I trust Justin,with my heart.And I want to trust you with him also.Your always welcome to be his friend.And hopefully mine." Michael walked over to him,extending his hand. Justin's eyes were watering,seeing his man still willing to be Josh's friend. Josh stood up,looking into Michael's eyes.He only saw friendship and trust there. But he also saw what he couldn't get past,he saw the man who stole the only person he loved. He slapped Michael across the face,hard. Michael stood there stunned,the pain registering in his heart. JC rushed out of the room,slamming the front door behind him. Justin was stunned, the anger in him burning like a fire.He ran to the door meaning to go after Josh,to hurt him for what he'd just done to Michael. Lonnie stopped him,Justin looking into his calm eyes.Justin's anger was uncontainable. Lonnie motioned Justin to look at Michael.He turned and saw Michael still standing in the same spot.All his anger instantly evaporated. Justin rushed to him,seeing the red slap mark visible on his face. Michael's eyes were in a panic, memories flooding his mind.The pain,the hurt.That feeling of failure. Justin hugged him to him,Michael instantly coming back to reality. "Oh,Jus.I only wanted to be his friend.I only wanted him to like me." Michael started crying.Justin holding him close. "I know baby,I know.I"m sorry,I'm so sorry.He'll calm down,and when he comes back,he'll apologize.I'll never let him hurt you again." Justin hugged him,feeling him calming down.Justin would make damn sure Josh apologized.All he could think about was Michael's pain. The pain of failing again. He was so good,so decent,only wanting to be Josh's friend,his was also thinking about Justin's feelings too. He's said it himself,he trusted Justin with Josh,and he was willing to trust Josh. Justin's knew now his love for Michael would never faulter. Lonnie watched the two consoling each other,thinking. Dammit,Josh.What are you doing? Don't hurt these two guys.They love each other so much.Don't get in the way of that love.You've lost your chance.Leave them alone. Michael was calm again. "Its okay,Jus.I can sense how upset he must be.It's hard to love someone in secret for so long and then see that hope blossom again, only to lose it for good.I feel for him,deeply.I'm not mad at him.And you,my love,you shouldn't be either." Michael was looking into his eyes.Justin saw the love as strong as ever. "Your remarkable,Michael.I love you so much." Josh walked the streets,not feeling the cold wind around him. His mind was on Justin.On his revelation. He spotted a small Starbucks on the corner and walked in,ordering a latte. The young man behind the counter smiling at him.He was around 22,blond,crew cut hair,slim build,hot.A Justin lookalike. Josh thanked him,smiling his killer smile.The guy blushed. Josh sat down at an empty table thinking about Justin. On the one hand,Justin was gay like him,but more important at the moment to Josh, Justin was in love with someone else.Thats what was destroying Josh's dreams. Josh though about Michael.The man was attractive,he was damn attactive. He could see how that would attract Justin. But Josh knew it was more that just the looks. Justin could have anyone he wanted,his own looks gave him the opportunity to be choosy. But he felt there was something different about Michael. Josh couldn't get over Michael's eyes.Their color was amazing.He felt that he'd seen those eyes before,but for the life of him he didn't know where. Thats what had got his defenses up.If Josh knew him from somewhere,then he was going to find out where. Josh had made the mistake of thinking Michael weak.He realized quicky that he wasn't.He'd figured out what Josh was hiding inside,how he's guessed that, he didn't know. But he'd wait,he'd wait forever if it meant a chance of being with Justin. All this did was give him hope.Michael would show his true colors.Or Josh would make him show them. Yes,he'd make sure Michael would be exposed for whatever he was. And then Justin would leave him like the trash he was. Josh saw the young man still watching him,Josh smiled at him again.The young man smiled back. It was so easy some times.Everyone wanted him.Why couldn't Justin want him. The young man walked over to him smiling,asking if everything was okay. Josh smiled saying everything was perfect. "Glad your happy with my service." "I am very happy,thanks.Especially with you." "I've been known to give even better service,to really exceptional customers."His hand came to rest on Josh's thigh. Josh smiled his best smile.He saw the lust in the young man's eyes. "Too bad your working,I'd like to see if you can live up to your boast." "I just came in to start the morning staff.I can leave whenever your ready.I live close by." Josh winked."Whenever your ready you can show me your premium service." In a few minutes Josh was walking down the street with the young man.He didn't even know his name,he'd told him,but it didn't matter.All Josh wanted was his body.To take out his needs and his frustrations. They walked into a small apartment building going up two floors. They entered a small clean apartment. "Where's the bedroom?" Josh asked. The man led him down a small hallway into the back bedroom.Josh leaned against the door when it was closed. "What's your name again?" "James." "Well,James.For today, its Justin.Got it?" "Whatever man.Use me like you want." He leaned in,rubbing Josh's crotch with both hands.He leered at Josh. "Take your clothes off,Justin." The young man peeled his clothes off.His slim body was smaller than the real Justin's,smooth with a few tattoos.His cock was hard and long.He was a bit shorten than Justin,but all in all,Josh could make it work. "you want me don't you?"Josh said,lust in his eyes.He stroked the hard cock in front of him. "Say yes,Josh." "Yes,Josh.I want you.I want you now." "You've always wanted me,right?" "Yes Josh,I want you,always have.From the first moment I saw you." Josh smiled pinching Justin's nipples. "Then take my clothes off,Jus.And make my body come alive." The man slowly removed his clothing,licking and touching him everywhere,kissing his nipples,licking him chest.JOsh was hard as a rock.He was really into this. He took all of Josh's clothing off. "OH god,Josh,YOur so fucking hot."" "Get on your knees,Justin.Suck my hard cock." Justin got on his knees,taking Josh's large cock deep into his throat. Josh let out a deep sigh,Justin was so talented. "YOur a good cocksucker,Justin.Did your whore teach you that?" "Yes,Josh.My whore taught me how to please a man,how to get a man to please me.I've been trained to serve you." Josh picked him up,throwing him on the bed on his back. "YOur mine now,you'll never want anyone else,understand.I'm going to make you forget all about him." The young man didn't know where this was going ,but he wanted this man to fuck him.And hard.That big cock sunk deep inside him. "Make me forget him,Josh.Fuck me long and hard.Fuck him out of my mind." Josh climbed on top of him,kissing him deeply.He started licking and sucking every inch of this young hot body. Yes he was with Justin.Justin who cheated on him.Who fucked someone else.He'd make him forget. HE pulled the man up,flipping him over. "YOur mine,Jus.You've always been mine." He spread Justin's legs,inserting his fingers deep into him. Justin moaned. "Oh god ,Josh.Make me yours,fuck me please?" Josh positioned his large sheathed cock against Justin's hole,not waiting to adjust,just pushing forward. Justin gasped,screaming Josh's name. Josh smiled,starting a fast rhythm. "You like that Jus,You like my fat cock up your ass.YOur mine,now aren't you?" "Yes,Josh,fuck me deep," "Your not Michael's now,your mine now." Josh pounding into him,feeling Justin's body against him,stroking his cock in front,feeling his semen explode all over his hand.BUt Josh kept ramming into him,bringing his hand up to Justin's mouth. "Eat your cum,Jus.Taste your sweetness." Justin licked Josh's fingers clean., Josh felt alive,his cock throbbing inside Justin's ass.He thrust deep into him.He exploded into the condom he was wearing,his seed filling the condom. He fell on top of Justin,wrapping his arms around him. "I love you,Justin." The young man looked around at him. Josh looked into his face. This wasn't Justin. It wasn't him,it was the guy from the coffee shop. Josh got off the bed,grabbing his pants. "Hey,don't go,stay for a while.Let's fuck all day.My ass can take it.I want to ride that hard dick all day.I can invite a friend over too,if you need more." Josh stared at him. "No thanks,we're through." Josh put the rest of his clothes on and walked out.The man staring after him. He lay back on his bed. Man what a hot fuck.That Justin guy must be the luckiest guy in the world. Josh walked back out into the street heading back to Michael's. He'd go back there and he'd apologize.And then he'd sit back and watch.He'd find out what was really going on.And he'd use it against him. Justin was his by right.His friendship counted far more than a few days of sex. They'd had sex,Josh was certain of that.He'd seen the hicky.Michael was a whore,and he'd prove it to Justin. That spawned some ideas in his head,he'd have to think this through.Make it foolproof. He smiled, a smile of hope. He thought of Justin,of what he meant to him. He needed him.He felt so alone. The three of them had sat down and talked.Lonnie telling them how JC had showed up at his door at six am,wanting to see how Justin was.Threatening to fire him if he didn't show him where he was. Michael told him about getting JC's thoughts when he shook his hand.How he knew he loved Justin. Justin put his hand in his,telling him he knew what Michael had done.How why he made Josh confess.That he loved Justin enough to rish losing him to Josh,because he couldn't withhold the truth from Justin. Justin kissed him,letting him know who he loved,and would always love. A half hour later Justin sat at the kitchen table reading today's newspaper article over again. They'd made the papers again. But this time it was the truth. Michael's picture was on the front page.There was also a picture of the four of them on the Oprah show. The headline read: RELUCTANT HERO HONORED BY JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE Justin smiled.The world knows the truth now.His Michael was real to them now. Michael who was looking from the counter, while preparing breakfast, shook his head. "I hate both of those pictures,they made me look fake." Justin laughed at that. "There's nothing fake about you ,baby." Lonnie grinned. Michael blushed. They all heard the knock on the door. Michael looked at Justin,then walked slowly into the living room to answer it. Justin watched him go. Lonnie looked at him seeing the concern of Justin's face. Michael walked to the door opening it. Josh stood there,his hands together in front of him. "Hello." Was all Michael said. "Could I please come in again?" Josh had his head bowed. "Okay." Michael left the door open walking back into the kitchen. Josh sensed he was going to make this hard for him. Justin looked up as Michael walked back to the counter,to take the food to the table. Josh walked into the room. Justin saw him,not saying anything. He got up and went over beside Michael.He put his hand on Michael's shoulder.Michael didn't move. Justin turned to Josh. "What do you have to say for yourself,Josh?" Josh looked at Justin,seeing some hurt still in his eyes. "I'm sorry,Justin.I didn't mean to freak out like that." "For someone who calls other people freaks,you certainly acted like one." Justin's words hurt Josh deeply. "Enough,Justin.Thats not going to solve anything." Michael said turning to look at both of them. "You know what you have to say,Josh.And you know who you have to say it to." Justin said,sitting down again,not looking at him. Josh looked at Michael,seeing his reluctance to be a part of this. This man was different.He didn't need his apology.It didn't seem to matter to him. "I'm sorry,Michael.I had no cause to hit you like that.You were only trying to be sincere.You offered your hand in friendship and I hurt you in return.Please forgive me." Michael walked up to Josh,looking him in the eyes. Josh was trying to be sincere.He could see it in his eyes.He knew what he'd done was wrong.His feeling were real but the end result wasn't what should of happened. "Alright,Josh. I accept your apology.Lets forget about it.Friends?" Michael offered his hand again. Josh shook it again,Michael feeling the thoughts again.They hadn't changed.He still loved Justin. Michael somehow knew that this would be a long battle,but he would fight till his last breath.He needed Justin,and he'd show Josh how much. Michael all of a sudden got a flash of blue light again. He saw Josh and Justin,and other people he couldn't make out,running through a thick forest,up a rising path,searching for someone.The place looked familiar to Michael. They were calling his name.Michael looked down and saw water,water far below him. He zoned back again,Josh looking at him strange. "You okay,Michael?" Justin looked up from the table,at Michael.He saw that flash of golden brightness again. "Yes,I'm fine.Breakfast is ready.You still hungry?" Justin watched Michael,sensing something had unnerved him.He sensed another vision,in fact he'd felt it. He'd talk to him about it later. They sat down to a quiet breakfast,not much being said.There was still a lot of tension in the room. "Ok,thats enough.There are too many unhappy faces at this table.Lonnie get up on the table and give us gay guys a lap dance." Michael said,a dead serious look on his face. Lonnie just about choked on his eggs. Justin started laughing,Josh soon drawn into it,both of them really laughing now. Michael still had a dead serious look on his face. Whenever they looked at Michael they started laughing again. Lonnie calmed down,staring at Michael. "That wasn't funny,Michael." "Aw,come on.Don't lie to me,you love shaking that black booty,toots.Shake it for your daddy." Lonnie was stunned. Michael lost it,rolling onto the floor laughing. Lonnie shook his head,seeing his three friends bustin a gut. "YOu gay boys are sick in the head." The tension had been broken. Michael got back up into his seat. "Whats your stage name Lonnie,Brown suga ,or is it Black Mambo." Lonnie smirked. "Actually its Afro Sally." All four of them roared with laughter. It took a while for them to calm down,Josh finally stopping his laughing.He hadn't laughed like that in a long time. He'd missed this kind of fun. He'd missed Lonnie and Justin. Then he looked at Michael. This guy was unbelieveable.His sense of humor was astounding. Michael smiled at him. Josh smiled back. They had formed a truce,a limited truce. Both knew that somewhere down the road the gloves would come off again. And both were prepared to sacrifice everything to win. End of Chapter 26 Well,Josh is finally in the picture.
