"So, we're on our way." I said to Lance over the phone.

"Ok, we'll be waiting." He replied.

"Wait! Let me speak to Justin!" Jay said.

"Jay wants to speak to Justin." I said.

"Ok, hold on." Lance said, "Hey curly! Jay wants to speak to you."

"Hello?" Justin said taking the phone.

"Hey! So, where're we going?" Jay said.

"I don't know, where do you feel like eating?"

"I don't know, hoe bout we figure that out when I get there."

"Fine with me, see you in a few."

"Ok, bye!"

"Bye!"

"Ok, come on let's go!" I said as he hung up the phone.

"Alright, I'm coming!" He said grabbing his coat.

We headed out to the car and drove to the hotel. It was about 7 when we got
there, JC had already left for his date and the rest of the guys were
waiting for us in one of the conference rooms in the back of the hotel.

"We're looking for Lance, Justin, Joey and Chris." I said to one of the
receptionists, "I called upstairs but they don't seem to be in their
rooms."

"Yeah, ok... whatever! Just like every other psychotic fan is looking for
them!" she said back.

"Um, no... they are expecting us."

"Yeah, whatever, Security!"

"HEY!! What are you doing?!?" I said as Security came and grabbed me by the
arm.

"Get them out of here!"

"What are you doing?!? Let them go!" one of the managers said, "I am soo
sorry! She is new here and didn't know that you are a frequent
visitor. They are in the back conference room, go right in, they're
expecting you!"

"I....I'm sooo sorry!" the receptionist said.

"Come on Jay!" I said giving her the evil eye then turning to the manager,
"Thank you sir."

We got in the conference room, Jay was laughing and I was pissed.

"That was hilarious!" Jay said as we entered the conference room.

"Shut up!" I said.

"What happened?" Joey asked noticing us.

"Nothing!"

"We.... we almost got thrown out by Security!" Jay said still laughing.

"Shut up! It's not funny!" I said punching him on the shoulder.

"Ow!" he said still laughing and rubbing his shoulder.

"If you don't stop laughing I'm gonna beat the living shit out of you!"

"Try it!" he said still laughing.

"That's it!"

I grabbed him in a headlock and started lightly punching him in the side
and he still laughed.

"Shut up!" I said as he still laughed.

"Ok, ok! Stop! I can't breathe!" he said in between laughs.

"You gonna stop?"

"Yeah!"

I let him go and he fell on the floor, his face red and breathing heavily.

"And you say we act like five year olds?" Justin said.

"You want some of this too!?" I said putting my hands up.

"Boy....I'll kick your ass!"

"Oh really? Remember what happened last time when you underestimated my
strength!"

His eyes widened and he couldn't believe that I had said that.

"It's ok, he knows and he isn't mad."

"Knows what?" Chris asked.

"About when Justin put the moves on Rob." Lance said.

"Oh, yeah."

"You know too?" Justin said in shock.

"Yeah, JC told me."

"And he told me." Joey said.

"Rob told me." Jay said finally catching his breath.

"Don't worry about it Just." I said.

"Whatever..." Justin said.

"You're not mad are you?"

"No, I just wish you would've told me that you told him!"

"It's not like I had a chance, I mean you've been... Busy."

"Yeah, well still."

"Get over it! We all know, none of us are mad, move on!" Chris said.

"Yeah, what's the big deal?" Lance asked.

"Fine, you're right!" Justin said.

"So, where're we gonna eat guys?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"I feel like having steak!" Joey said.

"Yeah! I haven't had that since the last time we barbecued at my parents
house!" I said.

"Then steak it is!" Lance said.

"But where?" Chris asked.

"I know a place." I said.

"What about us?" Jay asked Justin.

"I don't know, where do you wanna eat?" Justin replied.

"How bout some Italian?"

"Ok, let's go then!"

"How you gonna get there?" I asked.

"We got a van."

"Oh, when will you be back?"

"You're really starting to sound like JC now!"

"Sorry, where is he anyway?"

"He... He had a date." Chris said.

"Yeah, remember, I told you." Lance said.

"Oh, yeah! With who?"

"With...." Chris started to say.

"Some girl, I don't know!" Lance said cutting him off.

"Ok, let's go then, I'm starving!" I said.

We all left, Jay and Justin in the van, and the rest of us in my car.

"Shot gun!" Chris said.

"No!" Lance said.

"Now, now boys. We mustn't fight, there's plenty of me to go around. Chris
you can sit up front going and Lance can sit up front coming back." I said
mockingly.

"But, what about me??" Joey said playing along.

"You can sit next to me during dinner."

"Yes daddy!" Lance said.

"That's right! Who's yo dadddy?!?"

"ILL! Shut up!" Chris said.

"You are, you are!" Lance said in a moaning voice.

"LALALALAALAAA! I'm not hearing this!" Chris said covering his ears.

"Alright, alright! Let's go, I'm hungry!" Joey said.

"Yeah, come on." I said.

We got into the car and drove to the restaurant. We were seated with no
problem because there was hardly anybody in there, which was weird cause it
was a Saturday night. We ordered and talked while waiting for the food to
come. When the food came we dug in. Once we were all finished we got up and
left. We walked around for a little while before we headed back to the
hotel. By the time we headed back, it was already 10.


Meanwhile on JC's date.


"So, where are you guys off to next?" Melissa asked.

"Um, we go back to Orlando to do some interviews and promo's then it's back
on the road."

"Oh, that must get tiring."

"Yeah, but we all love it. What about you?"

"What about me?"

"Besides working at Bloomie's, what do you do? Are you in school?"

"Well as far as Bloomie's I'm about to quit."

"Why?"

"Because I found a job at school."

"Where do you go?"

"Well, I just finished a semester at West Point but I'm going to transfer
to a school in Miami."

"West Point? Wow! Why are you transferring?"

"Cause, it wasn't everything that I expected it to be."

"Oh, what are you gonna major in, in Miami?"

"Interior design."

"Cool! So whenever I get a house or apartment, you'll decorate it for me?"

"Sure! Just as long as you pay me."

"And how much will you charge?"

"Well.... payment is negotiable." She said seductively

"Oh really?" he said equally as seductive.

"Yeah, come here, I'll show you a sample of my work." She said as she
pulled him into a kiss.

"JC?!" she said.

"Huh?! What? I'm sorry, I just wasn't here for a second, what were you
saying?" he said snapping out of his daydream.

"Ok, I can tell you're not interested, I can drop you off and this doesn't
have to get any worse."

"NO...NO! It's not that!"

"Then what?"

"Well, it's kinda stupid really."

"What?"

"Well, it's just that... it's just that I.... I really want to kiss you."

"So..."

"But, I'm..."

"Afraid of what will happen once Rob finds out?"

"Yeah..."

"Look, don't worry about Rob. HE knows that I want this as much as you do
and I'm sure he would tell me as well as you to go for it."

"But... I just think that if something happens then....I mean, Jay and
Justin are already going out and with what happened with Joey and his
ex...."

"Jay and Justin are going out?"

"Um... yeah, he didn't tell you?"

"No!"

"Oh, well... Yeah, but don't tell anybody!"

"I won't I won't!"

"You do know about what happened with Joey and his ex right?"

"Yeah, he told me."

"Oh, ok."

"Well look, do you really want to kiss me?"

"YES!"

"Then come here!" she said pulling him into a kiss.

He was shocked at first but then relaxed and enjoyed every moment of it. He
hadn't been kissed like that in a long time.

"DAMN!" he said when she finally let him go.

"Same here!"

"Let's get out of here!"

"Where are we going?"

"I'll show you, it's a surprise!"

He paid the bill and the left the restaurant. They were on the West Side by
Central Park in the Mid 60's. Before they went to where JC was going to
take her, they stopped at a garage and put her car in it. He then led her
to the park.

"Where are we going? What are we doing in here?"

"You'll see! Don't worry!"

"Don't worry? We're in Central Park at 8 o'clock at night, and you're
telling me not to worry?"

"Yes."

He led her to the middle of the park where the horse and carriage rides
were.

"Come on, let's go!" he said as her eyes lit up.

"I've never been in one of these!"

"And how long have you lived in NY?"

"My whole life, but these things are mostly for tourists."

"And what am I?"

"You gotta point."

"Where to sir?" the driver said as they got in.

"Let's go down 5th Avenue!" she said.

"You heard the lady!" JC said.

"Yes sir!" He said mounting the carriage.

They started off and were out of the park in a matter of minutes.

"It's so beautiful out tonight!" she said.

"Yeah, and it's not that cold surprisingly."

"Yeah, but I'm still a little cold."

"You are? Here!" he said putting a blanket around the both of them and his
arm around her.

She laid her head on his shoulder and they looked at the sky, it was a
pretty clear night and you could actually see some stars.

"Thank you!" she said.

"For what?"

"For making me feel like a lady."

"Well that's what you are."

"Tell that to some of my ex-boyfriends!"

"Well if they didn't treat you like you deserve to be treated then you're
better off without them!"

She smiled and blushed a little. He then lifted her chin and kissed
her. They stayed like that for a good 15 min, until the driver said,

"Is there any other place you would like to go? Traffic is getting a little
bad."

"You can take us back." JC said.

"How bout we go back to your hotel and talk for a while."

"Uh.... I don't know about that."

"Don't worry, all we'll do is talk, I promise! Besides, I don't do that on
the first date!"

"Oh.... NO! I didn't mean that! I meant we might run into Rob."

"SO what!"

"Ok, fine... Have it your way." He said giving in, "Take us to the Plaza
Hotel."

"Yes sir!" the driver said.

"Where are we?" She asked.

"Um.... 45th and about to be on Madison."

"Tell him to let us out on 50th and 5th and we'll walk the rest of the
way."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, it's a nice night out!"

"Ok."

He gave the driver the instructions and he did as they asked. Once they got
out of the carriage, he paid the driver and they started to walk back to
the hotel. It was about 9:30 and they were walking slowly, not in any hurry
to get back. They talked along the way about their lives. By the time they
got back to the hotel it was already 10:15. Any other person walking 9
blocks would take them about 10-15 min but they really took their time.


Meanwhile on Justin and Jay's date.


"This sucks!" Justin said.

"What?"

"Well" he said now whispering, "I really wanna kiss you, but we're in
public!"

"I know! It's torture!"

"Well, we'll just have to make sure we have some fun later!"

"Oh yeah!"

The conversation went dead for a couple of minutes then Jay brought up the
subject.

"Justin?"

"Hmm?"

"What's gonna happen when you leave?"

"I...I don't know. I was asking myself the same question."

"I...I've been having the time of my life for the past few days and that's
all because of you. But what happens when you're gone?"

"Well, do you wanna do the long distance thing?"

"I... I don't know. I've tried that a couple of times and they never seem
to work out."

"Yeah, I know what you mean."

"I mean, what's our status anyway? Are we officially a couple? Are we just
a fling?  What?"

"I don't know, what do you want us to be?"

"That's just it! I don't know!"

"Well, I don't want to force you into anything you're not ready for."

"I know, but I really don't know what I want."

"How bout this?"

"What?"

"How bout we just leave it like it is?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, two guys that are friends who happen to kiss and fool around. We'll
see how that works out and then figure it out as we go along."

"Ok... I guess. So, whatever happens, happens?"

"Exactly."

"Alright."

They changed the subject and loosened up a little. They were having a good
time and didn't want anything to spoil it. The night was still young once
they finished eating dinner.  Neither of them wanted to head back to the
hotel so they got in the van and just drove around for awhile.

"Where to next?" Jay asked.

"I don't know, how bout... Wanna play some pool?"

"Sure! I'm up for it!"

"Ok, I think there's a pool hall around here somewhere!"

"That's too much money! Besides, you've already spent enough on me tonight
anyway!"

"It's no problem!"

"I'm serious!"

"Then where are we gonna go?"

"Back to my.... I mean, Rob's and my apartment. There's a pool table there
and Rob probably won't be home for a long time, that's even if he goes
home." He said seductively while rubbing Justin's leg.

"Uh.... ok! Let's go!"

They drove back to the apartment as fast as they could. Once they got
upstairs, they wasted no time and started to kiss each other
passionately. Things were getting pretty steamy and were about to go all
the way when Justin stopped himself.

"Wait! We can't do this!" Justin said pulling away from Jay.

"Huh? What? Why?"

"It's just... after what happened the other day, I wanna go a little
slower. I mean what we did last night was ok, but not so fast!"

"Ok, then we'll do what we did last night, or should I say this morning."

"Hmmm, I got an idea!"

"What?"

"Well, we wanted to play pool, so...."

"What?"

"How bout we play strip pool?"

"Ooh! Sounds fun!"

"Ever ball I make in, you give me a piece of your clothing, every ball you
make in, I give you a piece of clothing. Whoever wins gets to play with the
loser."

"So either way, we both win!"

"Exactly!"

"RACK `EM UP!"


Back at the hotel.


"Well, here it is!" JC said as they walked into his room.

"Whoa! This place is huge!"

"I know! We drew straws for it and I won."

"Cool!"

"Here, give me your coat."

She took off her coat and gave it to him. He took off his and threw them
both on the bed then led her over to the couch.

"So, can I get you anything to drink?"

"Uh, do you have any wine coolers?"

"Nah sorry, only soda."

"What kind?"

"Pepsi."

"Ok, I'll have that."

"Ok." He said as he got up and went to the mini bar.

"Look at that, a mini bar without the alcohol."

"Yeah, they took it out because they didn't know who was going to get the
room and since Justin and Lance aren't aloud to drink legally, you know."

"Yeah, well, soda's good."

"It'll have to do, here you go!"

"Thanks."

"So, anything else you wanna ask about bring in the group?"

"You sure? I don't wanna sound like an annoying reporter or an obsessed
fan."

"No, go ahead!"

"So what was it like in Europe?"

"It was fun! We got to see a lot of beautiful places!"

"I've always wanted to go, but never had the money."

"Well, maybe one day you'll get a chance to go."

"I hope!"

"There was this one place in Germany, it was soo beautiful! The snow that
covered this forest area, it was so peaceful!"

"I wanna go to Paris!"

"That's a beautiful city too!"

"I've always wanted to go there!"

"Maybe you will."

"Can you do me a favor?"

"Sure, what?"

"Can you sing for me?"

"Sure, what's your favorite song?"

"'All I have to give'... No, I'm kidding! But seriously it's `For the girl
who has everything'."

"You drive a pretty car, you know how fine you are and, nobody needs to say
it, oh yeah."

He sang the song and she just watched, mesmerized. He finished the song and
she couldn't help but kiss him. They stayed holding each other for a long
time.


Back in the lobby.


"I am stuffed!" Joey said.

"Yeah, me too!" I said.

"I wonder if the guys are back." Chris said.

"Which ones?" Lance asked.

"Any of them."

"I'll go check!" I said as the elevator opened, "I'll see if JC's back, you
check on Justin."

"Ok."

I walked over to JC's room and opened the door. I walked in and saw the two
of them making out.

"OH sorry!" I said as I walked back out.

"Oh shit!" JC said.

"Wait a minute!" I said, realizing who it was that he was kissing.

I stormed back in the room and stood there, shocked at what I saw.

"Rob! Hi!" he said.

"Shhh!"

"But, I can explain."

"Shhh! I don't want to hear anything!"

"Oh shut up! You know you're happy for me!" she said getting up.

"Don't make him madder than he already is." JC said.

"Please, he ain't mad! He was gonna hook me up with you anyway!"

"Oh really?!? And when were either of you planning on telling me this?"

"Um.... I think I'm gonna go now, bye!" I said quickly exiting.

"Hold on, get back here!" JC yelled coming after me.

He ran after me in the hall and grabbed a hold of my coat. The rest of the
guys came out into the hall once they heard him yell. He looked at me with
fury in his eyes.

"See, you're not the only one who can intimidate people!" he said as his
eyes turned kind again.

"You little!" I said as he started laughing.

The rest of the guys and Melissa joined in.

"Oh man! Justin's gonna get a kick out of this one!" Chris said.

"Where is he?" I asked.

"He's not back yet." Lance said.

"We'd better call him and make sure he's alright." JC said.

"He's fine! I'm sure they're just having a good time somewhere!"

"That's what I'm afraid of!"

"Remember what I told you."

"I know I know! Fine, I won't call him."

"Good, now, you! Get over here!!" I said to Melissa.

She came over and I gave her a hug and kiss.

"You're gonna tell me everything that happened tomorrow!" I said in her
ear.

"I am?"

"You know you are!"

"You know I was!"

"Just making sure!"

"Now, if you don't mind, we were on a date!"

"Oh, yeah! I'm sorry!"

"Come on, let's go!" she said pulling JC along with her.

"I'll see you tomorrow!" I said as they went back into his room.

"Well, I'm heading to bed!" Joey said, "I am tired beyond words!"

"Yeah, me too!" Chris said.

"Ok, goodnight!" Lance said.

"Night!" they both said.

"See y'all tomorrow!"

"Bye!" they said as they went into their rooms.

"You come with me!" Lance said pulling me by the back of my coat.

"Yes sir!"

We got into his room, closed the door and he kissed me.

"Mmmm! I've been waiting to do that all night!" he said breaking the kiss.

"ME too!" I said kissing him.

"Ok, ok! Stop! I'm too tired to play tonight!"

"Aww!"

"I'm sorry baby! It's been a long day!"

"Yeah, I'm pretty tired too! I'm gonna head home."

"Stay here!"

"Nah I can't. She's meeting me at my house tomorrow."

"Fine! Leave me here all alone!" he said sarcastically.

"Ok!"

"Oh fuck you!"

"I thought you were too tired!"

"Shut up and kiss me fool!"

"Ok!"

We stood against the door for a few minutes and made out. Finally I broke
the kiss and said,

"Ok, I gotta get going."

"Ok, I'll see you tomorrow!"

"Yeah, I'll meet you here at about 5."

"Ok, fine with me."

"Good night!"

"Night!"

"Love you!"

"Love you too!"

"Bye!"

"Bye!"

As I made my way out the building, I saw Melissa and JC standing outside
waiting for a cab.

"Where you going? I'll take you!" I said.

"My car's at a garage somewhere in the 60's." she said.

"Ok, I'll drive you over there."

"Ok."

"I'm parked right over there, I'll give you two a few minutes."

"Thanks!"

"I'll see you tomorrow, I'll be here by 5 so be ready. I'm sure you will
but I'm just telling you."

"Alright, I'll see yah!" he said.

"Laters!"

"Bye!"

I walked to my car, got in started it up and waited. After about 5 minutes,
she got in and we were off.

"Don't tell me anything! I'll find out tomorrow!" I said.

"I wasn't!"

"Ok, good."

"Anyway."

"Hey, why don't you stay over, this way you don't have to make 2 trips."

"Um.... ok! That'll give us more time together, cause I couldn't stay that
long tomorrow anyway."

"Ok, so we'll go pick up your car and you follow me back."

"Yeah."

"So, now you can tell me then!"

"Nope, you'll have to wait till we get back to your place."

"Fine!"

The rest of the ride back to my place was spent talking about stupid
stuff. Once the car was parked, we made our way upstairs. I put the key in
the door and walked into something that I really didn't want to see.

Justin and Jay were lying on top of the pool table sleeping. They were both
naked and had just fell asleep from their little game of pool. Justin heard
the key in the door and shook Jay. They both stood up just as I opened the
door.

"OH SHIT!!" I yelled then immediately closed the door.

"What happened?" Melissa asked.

"Uh... nothing! Um... let's just wait out here for a second ok?"

"What? What's going on?"

"Oh shit!" Justin yelled as I closed the door.

"Um...um.... Where are my clothes?" Jay yelled in all the confusion.

"I don't know! I'm looking for mine!"

"Your shirts right there, on the back of the couch."

"Are these your pants or mine?"

"Mine!"

"Here!" Justin said throwing him the pants.

"Here!" Jay said throwing him the shirt.

"Now where are my pants?"

"I think they're under the table with my shirt!"

"Yeah, here they are!"

"Toss it!"

"Here!"

They were both dressed now. Jay walked over to the door and opened it.

"Um... Hey Rob!" He said looking embarrassed.

"Yeah... hi!" I said not wanting to know what happened.

"Oh my god! Melissa! HI!" he said giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey! What the hell is going on in there?"

"You don't want to know!" I said.

"Yeah... I do!"

"Um...." Jay started to say as Justin came to the door.

"Hey Rob!" Justin said.

"OH MY GOD!!" Melissa said.

"Justin, this is Melissa, Melissa this is Justin." I said.

"Uh.... Hi!" Justin said turning red.

"Wait.... Ooooohhhh! I get it!" she said.

"Shut up! Don't say anything! Not out here at least!" I said.

"You two were..." She began to say as I covered her mouth, "MM mhmm"

"Yes, now shut up and get inside, all of you!"

We all got inside and I saw the mess that they had made.

"Damn! I just cleaned this place up!" I said.

"Um.... Sorry?" Jay said.

"Yeah, you better be!"

"Oh shut up Rob! I swear, you act like you've never done this before!"
Melissa said.

"What?" Justin asked.

"Yeah, him and the psycho bitch that he used to go out with use to do it on
the pool table all the time! I walked in on them once!"

"Shut up!" I said getting pissed.

"It was funny!"

"Yes, but you forget! This is my house! I can do whatever the fuck I want!"

"Yeah, but you forget, I live here now, so I can do whatever I want too!"
Jay said.

"Ooooh!" Melissa said instigating.

"Look, I'm not mad at y'all, really. Like you said, you live here now too,
but you should've given me some warning. You could've called and said that
you were going to be busy." I said.

"It's not like we had a chance, I mean. you know how it is." Justin said.

"Oh really?" Melissa said.

"You wanna get hurt don't you?" I said to her.

"Try it! I'll kick your ass!"

"Yeah, like last time? I seem to remember you pinned on the floor begging
for mercy!"

"Well that was last time!"

"What have you been drinking milk?"

"Yeah!"

We all started laughing and that eased up the tension. It was now around 12
and none of us were tired, which was weird considering Justin and Jay's
game of pool. We all sat in the living room with the radio on and were
talking. Melissa was asking Justin some questions and me and Jay were just
bullshitting around. I went to the kitchen to get some drinks for everybody
and they talked about the party briefly.

"So, it's all set?" Melissa asked.

"Yeah, we gotta be there by 4-5." Jay said.

"To set up right?"

"Yeah."

"So me and the guys will keep him occupied until you guys are all set up."
Justin said.

"OK, now change the subject!" Melissa said.

"Here we go!" I said coming out with the drinks, "Soda for Jay and iced tea
for Justin and Melissa."

"What about you?" Justin asked.

"It's in the kitchen, I only have two hands you know! I'll be back."

"This is gonna be soo cool!" Jay said.

"What's gonna be cool?" I asked coming back with my drink.

"Uh... you know... you going on tour and stuff... Me living here!" he said
covering it up.

"Oh... yeah."

We sat and talked some more until about 1. It was getting late and we were
all getting pretty tired.

"Well, we should get goin!" Justin said.

"Where?" I asked.

"Back to the hotel."

"Ahh! Stay here, it's late!"

"I don't know, what about Melissa?"

"Eh...what about her?"

"HEY!" she said.

"Look, you guys can take the sofa bed and we'll sleep in my bed."

"We will?"

"Yeah, please, we've done it before!"

"Oooh! I'm telling Lance!" Justin said.

"Shut up!"

"Well, it's ok with me if it's ok with Jay."

"Yeah, I'm too tired to move anyway!" Jay said.

"Yeah, I'm sure!" I said.

"Shut up!"

"One question..."

"What?"

"Who won?"

"Shut up!"

"I did!" Justin said.

"Oh, that's it!"

With those words, erupted a massive pillow fight between the 4 of us, which
lasted for about an hour. All pooped out from the fight, we all collapsed
on the floor and fell asleep.  Melissa was lying her head on my stomach
with the pillow, I had my head on Justin's shoulder, and he was spooning
with Jay. It was pretty comfortable considering the positions, and that we
slept in our clothes.

I was the first to wake up. It was a little after 11 and I had to piss. I
took a pillow and propped it up behind Melissa's head so she wouldn't
notice too much that I was gone. I slowly got up, stepped over Melissa,
stretched and yawned. I walked into the bathroom and took a piss. When I
came back out, everybody was waking up.

"Hmm, now what's wrong with this picture?" I said, "Four teenagers that
just slept together and there was no sex."

"Yeah there was, just before you guys walked in." Jay said.

"You know what I mean stupid!"

"I know!"

We all laughed half-heartedly considering we were still a little tired.

"Anybody want coffee?" I asked.

"Nah." Justin said.

"Me either, we'll just have some cereal." Jay said.

"What about you Meissa?" I asked.  NOTE: Meissa (MeeSaah) is Melissa's
nickname.

"Uh... nah, you have any OJ?" she asked.

"Yeah, I think so."

I poured two cups of OJ, and put two bagels in the toaster oven. I then got
out two bowls, a box of cereal and some milk. I set it on the table where
Justin was sitting. Jay was in the bathroom and Meissa was on the couch.

"Here you go sir!" I said putting the bowl, spoon and milk in front of him.

"Thank you!" he said.

"No prob... Hey, you, yeah you with the ass! I'm making you a bagel."

"Ok." She said from the couch.

"What the hell was that all about?" Justin asked.

"Nothing, inside joke."

"Whatever..."

Jay came out of the bathroom and sat next to Justin. He poured himself a
bowl of cereal and started eating. The bagels were done so I went back into
the kitchen, put some butter on them and came out with the bagels and the
OJ.

"Come on, time to eat!" I said.

She got up and sat at the table. We talked a little while eating. Once we
were done Justin said,

"Well, I think we should head back to the hotel. I didn't' tell the guys
that I was gonna stay over and I'd better get back there before JC flips!"

"Call them, then tell them you're on you way." I said.

"I am."

"And if JC gives you any trouble, just let me handle him!" Meissa said.

"OK... whatever."

After their second bowl each, they got dressed and before leaving called
JC. He was pretty pissed but calmed down once I talked to him. I explained
everything and reminded him of our little deal. Justin was grateful and as
soon as I got off the phone, we said goodbye and they left.

"So, what do you wanna do today?" I asked.

"Let's go to the Village!"

"Um.... ok! I gotta pick up something for Justin and Joey's birthdays, so
maybe I'll find something down there!"

"Can I use your shower?"

"Sure! You know you don't have to ask!"

"I know, but anyway."

"Oh shit!"

"What?"

"We forgot to go pickup your car!"

"Oh yeah!"

"How bout this? Give me the keys, and I'll go get it."

"Do you know where it is?"

"Yeah, I know which one you were talking about. It's not far from here!"

"You sure?"

"Yeah, I'll go real fast! Besides, I've been wanting to go for a walk. I'll
be back in half an hour tops!"

"Ok, whatever!"

"Ok, bye!" I said putting on my coat.
