Subject: Here And Now (Part Three / Boybands)

Disclaimer: I am in no way related to, know, or have ever met N Sync. This
story is completely fiction, and as far as i know none of the members of
nsync or anyone else in this story is bisexual or gay (oh what i would do if
JC really were). If you are 18 or you are not old enough in your local area,
i suggest that you hit the back button right now.

Authors Notes: This is the place people usually put this is their first
story. However, this isn't my first story. Hopefully it will be the first
story i finish. Anyone remember the story Mitch and Lance??? Didn't think
so. Well, i wrote it. You gotta scroll down a lot just to read it. IT was a
boring story anyhow. I wish i could tell ya that i have everything worked
out and i know what's going to happen, but i don't. It will be just as much
of a surprise to you as it is to me. But have no fear, i'm going to be
throwing in a lot of twists and turns, and a few unexpected things.

Special thanks to Darren For helping me out with a few things. Go read his
story called Everything i said. it will drive you NUTS trying to figure out
who Jay is, but don't worry Darren, i have it figured out now. i had a
feeling it was him from the beginning and i was right!

***Last Time***
When i got to the hotel, i walked to the front desk and told the lady my
name and she gave me the key to my room. I had been told that due to the
lack of rooms on that floor everyone had to sleep two in a room. I didn't
mind at all. I rode the elevator up to the floor i was staying on and found
my room. I inserted the key and walked in. I set down my stuff on the one
bed that didn't seem to be occupied already. I started digging through my
suit case to find my shaving kit. I then walked into the bathroom. I hopped
in the shower. I didn't usually take long showers, but today had been a
little stressful, so i decided to take a long one. I hopped out of the
shower and shaved. I then got dressed. I walked out of the bathroom, and
turned on the TV. I was watching for about 5 minutes when i realized i had
yet to find out who my room mate was. I didn't want to be nosey, but i just
couldn't help it. I got up and walked over to his suitcase. I hesitated at
first, but i decided i would go insane if i didn't find out who it was. It
would be hours before they came back, and i couldn't wait that long. I
looked at the luggage tag on the suitcase. I couldn't believe it. Of all
people did it really have to be him? I knew this couldn't be a good thing.

***This Time***
 I guess i would just have to deal with it when he got home. After all he
wasn't that bad of a person. I could handle him. I am a big boy after all. I
went back over to the couch and laid down. I turned on the TV, but i wasn't
really paying attention to it. I had a few other things on my mind. I had to
find a way to let Justin down easily. I knew he would be heart broken. As i
laid there i felt myself starting to fall sleep.

 I finally woke up and noticed where i had fallen asleep. I was pretty
cramped so i got up and stretched. I looked down at my watch It was getting
close to 10:00. I had a little while before anyone came back so I decided to
hit the bar that was downstairs. I made my way to the elevator and went down
to the bar. Nothing really happened there. I was old enough to drink, but i
wasn't really in the mood. Most people drank to get away from their
problems, but with me it makes my problems worse, so i just don't do it. I
instead had a few cokes. After i drank about 6 i decided to head back to my
room. It was late now and i figured the guys would be back by now. I had
heard some screaming earlier while i was in the bar so i figured they had
been spotted. I was hoping that my room mate would be asleep. The elevator
ride seemed to take forever, but in reality it only took less than a minute.
I wasn't too thrilled with who i got stuck with as my room mate. I figured
if all else fails, I could always request a different room somewhere in the
hotel or i could switch with someone. I was walking slowly to the room that
i would be sharing with him, but as i walked past one door i heard it open
and someone quickly pulled me inside. I was a little surprised at this, but
I soon realized who it was. This guy never seems to be one to just ask me to
talk, he just pulls at me. I wasn't expecting him to pull me in though, and
I tripped and ended up pinning him up against the wall. I looked into his
green eyes. I didn't know what came over me but the next thing i knew, i was
leaning in to kiss him. Lance wasn't pulling back, but he wasn't leaning
into the kiss either. My lips gently touched against his. It was a wonderful
feeling. It seemed like my whole world stopped for the few seconds that our
lips had met. It wasn't a very long kiss. It only lasted for a few seconds,
but to me it felt like a lifetime. I pulled away and just smiled at him. He
just stood there. No response at all. I then realized the JC was in the room
too. He had been lying on the bed. As soon as he saw me looking at him, he
closed his eyes. I looked at Lance and whispered to him, "Can we talk
outside." He just nodded and opened the door. When we were outside we stood
there for a minute not saying anything to each other. I was the one that
finally broke the silence.

 "Look Lance what just happened in there, I don't know what came over me.
I'm really sorry that I did that. I know that it was wrong of me, and I'll
just pack my things and be out of here in the morning. I shouldn't  have
been so stupid to have done that." I turned and started to walk away. I
heard Lance starting to cry. I turned around and saw tears running down his
face. He looked so cute. I walked back over to him and pulled him into a
hug. It wasn't a hug that said 'I love you' but more of a hug that said 'I'm
there for you'. He just cried on my shoulders for a few minutes. I could
feel my shirt begin to get soaked.

 "Don't go." I could barely hear him say the words. He wasn't very loud and
he was still crying. He then looked up and looked my straight in the eye.
"I'd be lying if I were to say i didn't like that Alex. Please don't go stay
here. It would break Justin to pieces if you were to leave. He likes you a
lot."

 "But Lance I don't want Justin. I don't know who i really want, but I know
its not him. I look at him and i see that he's a great guy and he would make
a good friend. And about that kiss... I don't know why i did it. I guess i
just wanted to see what it was like. To test the waters and to see what i
felt. I'm sorry if I misled you in anyway Lance."

 "I understand. I don't know who I want either. I didn't even know i liked
guys till just a few minutes ago when you kissed me. Look I don't want to be
alone right now. Is it ok if i come back to your room with you so we can
talk." I nodded. It wouldn't hurt anyone if he were to come over. I figured
that my room mate wouldn't mind.

 "Yeah you can come over." He got a huge grin on his face. He was pretty
gosh darn cute, but so were the other four.

 "Ok just give me a minute i want to go in and tell JC where i'm going and
then I'll be right over." He turned and went back in his room. I continued
down the hall to my room. I couldn't hear anything from inside the room so i
was guessing that he was sleeping. I inserted my key card and i heard the
click. I then turned the handle and opened the door ever so slowly so that i
didn't make any noise. I walked in and immediately was attacked by someone.
It wasn't an attack like he wanted to rob me or murder me but more of an
attack like he wanted me. I felt him push me back onto the bed.

 "I have been waiting all day for this Alex. Don't resist me. You know you
want me. Anyone would die to have me." I couldn't believe this. One of the
most popular members of N Sync was trying to force himself on me. I felt him
kiss me. I didn't kiss him back. I tried to force him off but he was too
strong. He kept kissing me. Then i heard a knock at the door. The door then
suddenly began to open slowly. Lance walked in the door and saw what was
going on. His face immediately turned red.

 "How could you! I can't believe that you would go and do this to me Justin.
You knew i liked him and here you are with him in bed already. So much for
being friends. A real friend wouldn't do this to me." He turned around and
started running down the hall. I finally got the strength to push Justin off
of me. I ran out of the room trying to catch Lance, but as i got to his room
i was met with a door slamming in my face. I knocked on the door. It was
more like i was pounding. I could hear Lance in there yelling for me to go
away. I was sure that JC would be comforting him by now. I just stood there
for a minute not knowing what to do. I finally got the urge to speak, but
since there was a door separating us, I had to talk through the door.

 "Look Lance. What you saw wasn't what you thought it was. When I walked in
the door Justin practically attacked me. I tried to stop him really i did,
but he was stronger than I was. When you walked in, you saw what looked like
me and Justin going at it, but Lance, I wasn't even kissing him back. I
wouldn't do that. Lance I know that you probably don't want to talk to me,
and I understand that. But Lance, I like you. I like you a lot. And I was
really hoping that what happened earlier between us wouldn't stop. Lance
please just open the door so we can talk. Please Lance I beg of you." I
waited another minute or so but still no answer. "Lance please... I love
you. Please open the door." The last part wasn't too loud but he must have
heard it. I heard the door click and he opened it. I saw him standing there.
His eyes and face were red. It looked like he had been crying all day long.

 "What did you say?"

 "I said please open the door."

 "No,, Before that."

 "Oh umm... I said... I love you James Lance Bass. I love you with all My
heart."

 "No. You can't Alex. You just met me today you can't be in love with me. We
don't know each other. It can't be love Alex." I was kinda shocked that he
said this to me. At first I didn't know how to respond to him.

 "Look Lance, there's nothing i can do or nothing i can say to tell just how
much I love you, but it's true Lance. I Love You. Not Justin. I know he
won't be happy, but he'll learn to deal with it."

 "No Alex. Justin got to you first. He deserves you more than I do. And Alex
don't take this the wrong way, but I don't love you. I like you a lot, but i
just met you. I can't possibly love you yet. But i would like to get to know
you a lot better if you'd like. Maybe we could meet for breakfast in the
morning."

 "Yeah I'd like that a lot Lance. You know what else I'd like? That is if
you don't mind. Can I have a good night kiss?"

 "I don't mind at all if you get a good night kiss." We just stood there for
a few seconds not knowing what to do. I noticed he was starting to lean into
me, so i started leaning too. Our lips connected. It was like heaven on
earth. His lips were soft and smooth. I felt like all other troubles in my
life were suddenly taken away. The kiss wasn't a very passionate kiss, just
a nice simple little kiss on the lips. It didn't matter to me though. It
still felt great. We said our good byes and he went back into his room. I
stood there a few minutes. I was still in heaven. I couldn't believe it.
Does this mean that me and Lance were a couple? Does it mean that we were
just friends? I would have to talk to him in the morning about that. I
slowly made my way back to my room. I didn't want to have to face Justin
again. Somehow i lucked out this time and he was sleeping. I quietly made my
way to my bed trying not to Justin up. I couldn't sleep right away. I laid
there for a while. Every now and then it felt as if Justin kept watching me.
I must have just been imagining it. I began to remember back to the kiss
with Lance. I could still feel the kiss. I could still smell his wonderful
smell. It was as if he was still there with me in my bed. That was the last
thing i remembered before i fell asleep.

 I woke up the next morning and felt different. I remembered back to the
night before when me and Lance kissed. I did notice though that someone was
in the bed with me. I couldn't see who it was because i was facing the
opposite way. I slowly and carefully rolled over to see who it was. It was
him. I couldn't believe it. I was surprised I didn't notice that he had
climbed into bed with me. I was a heavy sleeper but if someone were to climb
into bed with me I'd surely wake up. I got out of the bed and went into the
bathroom to take a shower. I didn't want to wake him because he needed some
sleep but I knew i couldn't let this go. I would talk to him whenever he
woke up.

That's it for chapter three. Hope you liked it. Don't you love cliffhangers?
Who is it that was in the bed with him? Will It be Lance that Alex actually
hooks up with? Will it be Justin After all? Could it possibly be one of the
other three? We'll have to wait and see won't we?! Please e-mail me at
