	"I hate New York," Justin sighed as he unpacked his clothes neatly
into the drawer.

	"You cannot hate New York," I smiled as I sat on my bed across from
him. "It's beautiful, lovely city and."

	"Britney's coming," Justin sulked as he plopped on the bed.

	"And," I smiled as I punched him lightly in the arm. "You should be
happy. You gonna get some."

	"It's nothing like that, Josh. What happened at the VMA's was a
mistake. I mean who knew alcohol would get me and Britney horny.again."

	"And again, and again, and again," I laughed. "This is why you
can't drink until your 21."

	"Hey, how's the mystery man thing going," Justin smiled as he
looked at me.

	"Don't want to talk about it," I frowned as I got up.

	"Ok, fine," Justin said.

	He started to leave, and then he turned back around and sat on my
bed.

	"Before this whole gay thing," he started, "we used to be
friend. You would be able to tell me anything. We were practically
inseparable. I want that back, Josh. I miss thoughs days. I miss the days
we would sit up late and talk about nothing. I mean you don't know a thing
about what's going on with Britney and me because you spend all your time
with Lance instead of me. I am not trying to consume your whole life, but I
just want to be apart of it."

	"You are apart of it," I replied.

	"Then why don't I feel like it, Josh."

	"It's complicated," was the only answer that I could think of.

	"Well," Justin said as his anger started to rise, "it wouldn't be
as complicated if I knew what was going on," Justin said just as he got up
and walked out the room. Two minutes later, Joey came in.

	"Hey, Josh," he said, with a fake smile. "You still want to do
tonight?"

	Tonight, Lance, and I where to double date with Joey and his
mystery man, Jeff. Lance and I have been going over this for a while of how
we were going to go over this plan. Lance and I were going to "break up"
during dinner. I was scared and we, a little sickened at the depth of what
I was doing. The "break up" was so that Lance can be single and hope Joey
would hook him up with a friend or something.

"Yes, the plans are going," I said as I swallowed my emotion to jump into
Joey's lap and admit my love to him.

	Joey said cool and then ducked out of the room.

	Justin reemerged with a smile.

	"What's with the smile," I asked.

	"I knew it was Lance," was all he said as he grabbed his jacket on
his bed and left.


	So, here is Lance, Joey, and I looking at the door at 7pm waiting
for Joey's mystery man to enter the door. Was he tall? Was he thin? Was he
short? Was he fat? Was he cute? And the most important question. Was he
cuter than me? All this rolled in my mind as Joey and Lance talked.

	"So, are you guys happy," Joey asked Lance.

	"As happy as I could get with him," Lance said. "Sometimes I think
we would be better friends than romantic interest."

	Just then, Jeff Timmons walked up to the table.

	`Shit, no,' I thought as Joey stood up.

	"Baby," Jeff smiled as he kissed Joey on the lips.

	"Damn," Lance said as he looked at me.



TBC.


	Sorry about the delay. My imagination was on overload but it's back
for now. Look for my new story "He-Bang," which has some connections to the
story. I may even put both of them together soon, so stay posted.Cartoon
