Justin was in the shower when Jon walked in. A few minutes later Justin walked out of the bathroom naked, either he didn't realize Jon was in the room or he didn't care. Jon looked at his tan, muscular body for a few minutes until Justin said something to snap him out of his daydream "Are you as tired as I am?"
"Yeah, I've been through a lot lately."
"Wanna talk about it?"
"I was married to someone that it took me years to realize that I wasn't in love with causing me to lose interest in my job. My life was going downhill before I realized something was wrong."
"What was it?"
"I had this idea that the person you marry was supposed to be your best friend, but we were only lovers not really friends. It wasn't either one of our faults...it's just the way it happened."
"I know what you mean after J.C. left, I felt the same way. He's the only person I can really talk to."
"I haven't talked to him that much, but he seems like a cool guy. Him & Steven are crazy about each other."
"Yeah, so how long are you gonna stay?"
"Don't really know, I guess until Steven & J.C. kick me out."
"I don't think that'll happen, they both seem too sweet to do that."as Justin climbed into bed naked and yawning.
Jon noticed this "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to keep you up telling you about my sob story."
"Don't worry about it, that's what friends are for."Justin got out of bed and went over and hugged Jon.
"Goodness." thought Jon, "he's a touchy-feely exhibitionist."
"Thanks Justin, I needed that."
"Me too. Good night."
"Night"
When Steven walked into their room, J.C. was lying in bed."That went well" J.C. remarked.
"Yeah," Steven said while undressing "You still haven't forgiven Justin have you?"
"No, I'm trying to be understanding, but it's hard. I was honest with the guys when I told them, and Justin wasn't supportive or anything. He hasn't told them because he doesn't want to go through what I went through."
"That's bad and selfish."
"Yeah, after all we went through" J.C. said crying in Steven's arms.
"In his defense, he may not have realized it or accepted it."
"True, I'm not sure and I don't care."
"Everything will be ok baby. I promise you. I'll never leave you" Steven said wrapping his arms around J.C. and buries his face in J.C.'s hair, inhaling his masculine scent. J.C. reaches up and holds Steven's hands which are around him and he tell's Steven "Why? How could he??"
"Please don't cry baby, I'm sure that isn't what Justin meant to do."
" He was probably just as nervous as you are."
"Maybe. It just hurts."
"I know sweetie."
"We'll go to the store tomorrow and let them spend some time alone so you can get your mind off of everything."
"Do we have to?" J.C. said in a whiney voice.
"Yes, Adam's a great manager, but there are some things he can't handle, besides I miss seeing everyone."
"I know you do, sometimes I don't know who you're in love with..them or me."
"I don't sleep with them." Steven said as he put his head on J.C.'s chest as J.C. put his arms around him.
"I love you Steven Rocky Hunter"
"I love you too Joshua Scott Chasez"
"If we stay like this, we won't get out of bed tomorrow."
"What's wrong with that?" J.C. said with his puppy dog eyes.
"Absolutely nothing." Steven said while kissing him on the cheek.
"Thought so." said J.C. with a sly smile.
"Good night."
"Night baby." and J.C. started singing "Faithfully" by Journey, while doing this J.C. realized that their three month anniversary was next week, he decided to plan something really special.
The next morning when Jon & Justin woke up there was a note on the kitchen table from J.C.
Hey guys,
You guys are on your own today, we have some things to do at the store. We left the keys to the Steven's pathfinder. Stay out of trouble.
J.C.
"I guess it's just us, have anything you want to do?" said Jon
"I'm always up for shopping." said Justin with a smirk
"Cool. Me too, I need some new clothes."
"You and me both, and shoes."
At they mall, they both looked like kids on Christmas morning. "Hey Justin, this would look good on you." said Jon holding up a baby blue silk shirt.
"Yeah, I have a black vest that'd go great with it."
"Try it on."
"I will when I get some more outfits. Like this?" holding up a denim shirt?"
"Yeah, I love denim and I need one with short sleeves."
"Good thing you came then."
"Yeah, you're fun to hang out with." "You too, I'm glad we became friends. I just wish I could make up with J.C."
"I'm sure he'll come around."
"I hope so, overall he's ok, but I can tell it still bothers him. Let's find a dressing room, my arms are getting tired."
"Ok."
There was only one dressing room open when they got there.
"Go on in Justin, I'll go after you."
"It looks big enough for both of us, plus you've seen me naked."
"True, I'm surprised no one's recognized you."
"Me too, guess we lucked out. What should I try on first?" as Justin took off his shirt and wife beater.
"Mine, I want to see how it looks."
"Ok, I'll try on these pants too."
"It's a shame that you don't have the vest." as Jon took off his shirt.
"Yeah, oh well. You work out a lot?" looking at Jon's muscular chest
"I try to. Our office had a gym in it, and I play racquetball and basketball to relieve stress."
"You have a well developed chest."
"Thanks" Jon said flexing, "You're not so bad yourself."
"Thanks" Justin said as he put his shirt on. "How does this look?"
"Great except for the wrinkle" Jon said smoothing the shirt, enjoying the feel of the material on his firm chest. "That's better"
"Thanks" Justin said smiling.
"Anytime"
Justin just raised his eyebrows quizzically and smiled. They finished trying on their clothes and decided to go shoot some hoops. They found a basketball court in an deserted park
"This is cool, playing b-ball with no one around."
"Bet this doesn't happen too often."
"Nope, it's fun sometimes, I can show off more." Justin said with a devilish grin.
"I bet." Jon said laughing.
They were soon shirtless and playing intently, stealing glances at each other's chest when the other wasn't looking.
After an hour, Jon said "Dang, this is wearing me out."
"I have a way of doing that to people." Justin said with mischievous smile. "You're not quitting are you?"
"No, just warming up."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, throw me the ball."
They played for another hour before calling it quits.
"Dang, I'm sore Jon."
"I didn't think I could wear you out."
"Obviously, I was wrong."
"Cool, then I accomplished something today."
"Very funny, I can't wait to get a shower and cleaned up."
"You're not used to being sweaty by now."
"Yeah, but I still don't like it. Maybe when we get back we can take a jacuzzi"
"That'd be cool"
"Yeah, let's get out of here before someone spots me."
"Ok."
They went through a fast food place and got some burgers, then went back to Steven & J.C.'s.
"So what do you wanna do?" said Justin
"Jacuzzi" said Jon.
"Sounds good."
To Jon's surprise, Justin took off his clothes outside.
"Going naked?" asked Jon
"Does it bother you?"
"Not at all. What if the others come back?"
"They won't be back for a few hours."
"Cool" said Jon as he took off his own clothes.
They both relaxed as they immersed themselves in the water.
"My boss called today, we're going back on tour tomorrow."
"That stinks, we're just getting to know each other."
"I know. I wanted to make up with J.C. more, guess I won't be able to do that."
"There's always tonight. They'll be back before you leave,"
"I know, I just don't want him to go through any more pain because of me. He doesn't know it, but the day he was in the mall crying, I walked by him a few times to make sure he was ok."
"Why didn't you go up to him?"
"I figured he was too mad at us. I didn't think he'd want to talk to us."
"You could've at least tried."
"I know and I regret it. Can we change the subject?" Justin said leaning back and closing his eyes.
"I'll change the subject all right" thought Jon."Sure. What time do you leave tomorrow?"
"I have to meet the others at 9.We can go out to eat before if you want."
"That'd be cool. Tired?"
"Not really, just dreading going back to work."
"I know the feeling."
Jon decided to be brave and inch himself closer to Justin slowly until their legs were touching.
"You fall asleep?"
"No, I'm still up. My back's sore from the basketball."
"Want me to massage it for you?"
"Yeah, maybe that will loosen the knots up."
"Ok, turn around."
Justin turned and relaxed his shoulders.
Jon was getting excited by this time, a lot of people he knew would get jealous if they found out he saw Justin naked and gave him a massage.
He started massaging Justin's neck working the knots out, enjoying the feel of his soft skin.
"I'm gonna miss you Justin."
"Me too."
"We'll still be able to talk." "I hope so."
"I could always go with you."
Justin looks at him with a smile on his face. "That'd be fun"
"You have the job."
"What job?"
"Our personal assistant."
"Really?"
"Yeah, our other one got pregnant and wanted to leave."
"That'd be a blast. I'm sure J.C. & Steven want some time alone."
"I'm sure they do. Well, get your stuff packed. You can go with us in the morning."
"Shouldn't you talk to the others?"
"I'm sure it's okay with them."
"Ok, but if it's not I understand. Just tell me."
"Deal."
"Let's get out, we can call J.C. and tell them we're taking them out to eat as a thank you."
"Cool. Chinese??"
"Since that's their favorite yeah."
They got out of the jacuzzi, called the store to tell J.C. and Steven to come home early because they were leaving tomorrow, then they got dressed for dinner.
At the restaurant, J.C. and Steven were immersed in the duties of running a restaurant.
"You know, I bought this place to make you happy, I didn't realize how much I'd enjoy this.
"I can't thank you enough."
"Well, "J.C. said with a sly smile "I just enjoy running it with you."
"I couldn't have done any of this without you baby."
"Yes, you could've. You don't know how depressed I was." explained J.C. "I was ready to leave the area and never look back....instead I fell in love with the love of my life and still never looked back."
"You're the sweetest guy I ever met, and.."
"Steven, you have a phone call." Adam said as he walked up to the table.
"Ok thanks." he said as he got up and went to the counter.
"So how's the happy couple?"
"We're doing just fine."
"That's good. I don't think I've ever seen Steven this happy. He always said your music cheered him up, I never knew it was because of you."
"The thing I like about Steven is he isn't an obsessed fan, he likes me as a person, he doesn't care that I'm a superstar or anything. I could tell that in the first 5 minutes of us talking."
"Yeah, there aren't many guys like him."
"There sure aren't."J.C. said looking at Steven still talking on the phone. Steven looked up and J.C. stuck his tongue out.
Steven crossed his eyes and started laughing at J.C.
"Earth to J.C." Adam said trying to get J.C.'s attention.
"Huh...sorry." J.C. said blushing
"Love at first sight?" "Definitely."
"He deserves someone caring & sweet like you."
"I'm going to spend the rest of my life making sure he's happy."
"That was obvious when you bought this place."
"Well, seeing him that upset about Melanie really got to me, then the look on his face when I told him we owned this was priceless."
"He was thrilled about that...and the kiss."
"That kiss was magical."
"That was when I knew I'd done the right thing"
Steven came up and said "That was Justin, he gave Jon a job as the group's personal assistant and they're going back on tour tomorrow. They wanted to take us out to eat to say good-bye & thanks."
"Sounds good."
"We better go get changed. Adam, as always you're doing a great job. Keep up the good work and call us if you need us."
"Ok, see you two later. Bye J.C."
"Bye dude, take care."
