****Okay ya'll! Here is a another chapter from Me! Well I'm back and I hope you all liked the last chapter. It was fun writing. Let me see. Where to start? First off thanks to all those who wrote to me. Oh and for all you ladies out there, don't worry you are not alone. Half my e-mail responses are from women so don't worry. Secondly I want to say sorry because in the last chapter I kept referring to the guys as 'She'. That's just because I typed a little too fast and didn't check my work. So sorry for that. Uhm everything else is good. I guess it's on with the story.
***** Oh Wait one more thing. Sorry this is soooo late it's just there was an accident in out city which resulted in all the phone service to go down for like a week. That's also why I couldn't reply to all your e-mails. But let me say a special thanks to everyone with all their nice compliments. Welp I guess it's now on with the story!
Josh and Just 27
Lance soon came to full realization to what he just did.
"Oh My god!!! What did I just do?" Lance asked as she stood up and began pacing the kitchen.
"Marissa is gonna kill me!" Britney yelled as she stood up and paced as well. Lance and Britney headed toward each other and disgustedly turned away from each other.
"Why did we do that?" Lance asked in confusion.
"I don't know. I was sitting here minding my own business. Gaining like twenty pounds eating my ice cream and then you kissed me!" Britney replied.
"Excuse me! I wasn't the only one involved in the kiss you were doing some smooching too!" Lance shot back.
"Oh shut up! You have tot ell Marissa!" Britney responded.
"I don't want to. I know I have to but I don't want to." Lance replied.
"Well go! Go call her!" Britney said pointing toward the phone.
"Now?" Lance asked in shock.
"Just? Do you want any of this?" JC asked as he pointed down at the bowl.
"What is it?" Justin asked as he looked down at the burnt food.
"Your Dad says it's potatoes." JC replied.
"Uhm I think I'll pass." Justin said placed a kiss on JC's chin.
"Fine by me. I think I'll join you." JC said as she walked away from the potatoes. Justin and JC took a seat at the counter where they placed their plates down. Justin started to eat silently unaware that JC's eyes were on his watching his every movement. Justin glanced at JC really quick and did a double take when seeing JC watching him.
"What?" Justin asked as he wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"Do you want to talk about it?" JC asked, noticing Justin using his fork to pick at his chicken continuously.
"Not really." Justin replied as he placed his head down on JC's shoulder. JC ran his arm around Justin and held him close.
"Okay I'm here for you if you need to talk." JC replied, placing a kiss at the top of Justin's forehead.
"Thanks Josh." Justin replied.
"How is Kelly doing?" JC asked softly.
"She won't leave my room and she rarely smiles." Justin responded.
"Poor Girl. Do you think she's going to stick around for a while or do you think she is going to come home with us?" JC asked.
"I don't know. We'll see." Justin shrugged. The sound of a cell phone rang through the room.
"You know I hate phones. They are always the bearers of bad news." Justin complained. JC laughed and took the phone out of his pocket.
"Hello?" JC asked. Justin watched as JC's face hanged from whimsical look to a mixture between anger and sadness.
"I'm sorry I can't make it. I have to be here in Tennessee." JC replied.
"What is it Josh?" Justin asked worriedly.
"No! I can't leave and if it means that I can't do it for them then so be it." JC said into the phone.
"Okay bye." JC said hanging up the phone and putting it back into his pocket. JC picked up his fork again and continued to eat again.
"JC What's wrong?" Justin asked as he stared at JC with worrying eyes.
"Nothing. Don't worry about it babe." JC said as he placed a small kiss on Justin's forehead.
"Josh?" Justin asked again.
"Justin don't worry about. You don't need to hear it now." JC replied. Justin took JC's face in his hands and turned it so they were face to face.
"Josh Please?" Justin asked. JC let out a sigh before nodding.
"They want me to go back to Orlando now because Wild Orchid is doing something and need me there." JC said as he resumed eating.
"JC you have to go back." Justin replied.
"No I don't. I'm staying here right by your side." JC retorted.
"Josh. You've always dreamed about producing someone's album and you finally got the chance with Wild Orchid. Now where is Chasez Music going to be when he won't even show up to work?" Justin asked.
"Justin. I'm staying here with you. You are more important to me than any musical act in the world. I'm not leaving you, my boyfriend and true love, for some client. Especially when you are going through something you shouldn't be going through alone." JC responded.
"JC I love you with all my heart and just knowing that you love me back is comfort enough for me. I want you to be back at Orlando and help that group as much as I hate that Stacey girl. I'm not going to let you miss out on your dream because of me. Please go. I'll be fine I swear." Justin said tenderly.
"I don't know Justin." JC replied.
"JC. Honey! I'll be fine. Trust me. And If I'm not you'll find yourself on a cell phone with a weeping boy." Justin replied.
"Okay Sweetheart but I'm only doing this for you. You know that right?" JC replied. Justin gave him a small kiss.
"Yeah I know. As soon as we finish out dinner I'm driving you to the airport." Justin replied.
Lance paced around the room nervously while he waited for Marissa to show up. Britney sat nervously on the leather couch while she watched Lance pace.
"Would you please stop! You are making me nauseous. And you're probably wearing a trench down for Justin and JC in their living room.
"Excuse me! You don't have to tell your girlfriend that you kissed another girl!" Lance retorted.
"Well it isn't a walk in the park for me either you know? She's my friend!" Britney responded.
"You know I never really noticed that accent of yours until now." Lance replied.
"Oh Lordy." Britney said as she gave a scowl.
"There it is again." Lance said a bit amused. Lance lost that amusement once the doorbell chimed. It echoed through the house as everything fell silent.
"Well answer it!" Britney yelled.
"I'm trying it's just my legs don't work." Lance said nervously.
"Probably from all that pacing." Britney mumbled as she walked to the door. She opened it and found Marissa standing outside with a man following her.
"Hey Marissa come on in." Britney said timidly.
"Hey Brit. This is Santiago." Marissa said as she walked into the house. She walked into the living room and stopped at the sight of Lance. She turned around and was about to head for the door but Santiago stopped her and turned her back around.
"Hey Marissa. I'm glad you came. I really have something to tell you." Lance said nervously.
"Wait! Lance! I have to say something first." Marissa voiced sadly.
"But. . ."
"No Buts Lance. This is going to go so much faster if I can say this without interruptions. Lance I had strong feelings for you but nothing really deep. And I totally wish I could stay with you but I'm not feeling anything between us. And Santiago and I just clicked from the beginning. I'm so sorry Lance." Marissa said quickly. Lance stood there stupefied.
"I'm really sorry Lance. I really am." Marissa said.
"It's okay. I understand." Lance replied. Marissa gave a sad look toward Lance before taking Santiago's hand and walking to the door. She gave him one more look to him before leaving. Britney closed the door and looked back at Lance who stood there in shock.
"Lance I'm really sorry. I never knew she was going to dump you. I know you'll find someone else." Britney said as she walked up next to Lance and rubbed his back slightly. Lance sat down on the couch and stared at the floor.
"Lance, you are totally cute. You are going to bounce back in no time. Trust me." Britney replied. Lance looked at Britney. The two once again connected eyes. It was an intense moment as both Lance and Britney came together in an intense passionate kiss. Lance leaned forward while Britney laid back on the couch. Lance crawled above Britney as the two continued to kiss fully. As the two separated they panted for air.
"Well I didn't know you were going to bounce back that quickly. But I like it." Britney said between gasps.
Justin sat tiredly in the terminal with JC by his side. JC sat with an arm behind Justin's chair while looking over his ticket. Justin fiddled with a Sleepy doll in his hands.
"So what's the deal? are you coming home in couple of days or are you going to stay here for a little while longer?" JC asked.
"Well I think I'm staying here for a little while before coming back. But not too long." Justin replied.
"Oh okay. I'll be sure to call you. Make sure that as soon as I leave, you go home and get some sleep because you have a busy day for you tomorrow." JC said as he tangled his fingers with Justin's. They kept their joined fingers between their bodies making it less noticeable.
"Okay. You have to call me when you get home. I'm talking the second you land you better call me okay?" Justin responded.
"Just! That's going to be at like five in the morning." JC laughed.
"Well than I'll be getting a wake up call at five in the morning then." Justin concluded.
"Okay well put your phone on low and keep it in the room with you. I'll call your cell. I don't want to wake up your whole family." JC said lifting their interlocked fingers to place a small kiss on the back of Justin's hand.
"Okay. I love you Baby." Justin whispered.
"I love you too Sweetheart." JC replied.
"Can I keep Sleepy and your leather jacket to remember you by?" Justin asked shyly.
"Sure but you have to give me something to remember you by." JC smiled.
"What can I give you?" Justin asked.
"How about your hat?" JC asked in return.
"My Tar Heels hat?" Justin asked as he looked up. He pulled the baseball cap off his head and looked at it. He turned to JC and placed it on top of his head. JC brought the bill down over his forehead and sat there looking at Justin.
"No way. You're going to have to wear it backwards cause I can't see those beautiful eyes." Justin snickered. He turned the hat backwards and placed it back on to JC's head.
"Much better. You look sexy." Justin smiled.
"I want to kiss you so badly." JC sighed.
"I know, so do I." Justin whispered.
"This is a boarding call for all first class passengers on flight 737. Non-stop to Orlando." The announcement brought a slight sadness.
"You're sure you want me to go right?" JC asked.
"Yeah I'll be fine. Don't let that Stacey girl rub herself all over you. Okay? I'll be waiting for your call." Justin said sadly as he stood. He tightened the leather jacket around him and held it closed with his arms folded over his chest. JC gave him a quick hug and a secret kiss on the forehead.
"Don't worry I'm all yours. Stacey is not getting even a taste of me." JC said as he placed his forehead on Justin's.
"I love you." Justin whispered.
"I love you too Sweetheart." JC replied.
"Bye." Justin said softly.
"Bye. I'll miss you Sweety." JC said as he started to back away. He turned around hesitantly and started to walk toward the gate. JC turned around once more and gave a small wave to Justin. Justin smiled and waved back.
JC pulled into the driveway of the house he shared with Justin. He let out a small sigh and looked at the darkened street. Everything was quiet and no one was up yet. JC once again flipped down his sun visor and looked at the picture of Justin. He kissed the tip of his fingers and pressed them to Justin's lips in the picture. JC turned off the ignition and got out of the car. He took his bags in hand and walked to the door. He quietly walked into the house and started to walk up the stairs. He walked quietly to his bedroom and went in. JC looked around a bit and saw Tyler sleeping in his bed. JC dropped his bags down and walked to the edge of the bed. He lightly started to shake Tyler.
"Wuh? Huh?" Tyler asked as he sat up startled. He looked around and focused his sight onto JC.
"You're home already?" Tyler asked tiredly.
"Yeah some things came up and I had to head back here while Justin had to stay there." JC whispered.
"Okay, welcome back. Goodnight." Tyler said as he placed his head down on his pillow again. JC gave a small laugh before changing into his PJ's. JC climbed in on the other side of the bed and got comfortable before falling asleep next to his brother.
JC sat at the conference table while staring blankly at a picture of 'N Sync on the wall. His eyes focused mainly on Justin while he fumbled with a pencil in his hands. He smiled to himself, remembering the time they took that picture. They were like big kids playing with all the props.
"So what do you think JC?" JC quickly came out of his trance and looked around with question.
"I'm sorry. What did you say?" JC asked softly. He took a sip from his mug before sitting up and adjusting the suit he had on.
"Well I was thinking that we could have a photo shoot for the CD cover probably tomorrow." JC looked at the man and ran the thought through his head.
"I wouldn't have to be there right?" JC asked.
"But we'd like you to be there." Stacey said as she placed her hand on his thigh. JC looked to his side and saw Stacey looking at him seductively while running her hand slowly up from his knee. JC looked across the table to see Stefanie and Renee, the other two girls of Wild Orchid. They sagged in their seats, obviously bored with the meeting. He felt Stacey's hand running higher up his though. JC quickly stopped the hand with his own and pulled it away from his thigh. He threw the hand back at Stacey before adjusting his suit.
"Okay How about this? We'll set up time in the studio today later on and get that over with so then you guys can take it from there. I want to get all this over with as fast as I can." JC said.
"Why are you here if you don't care about anything but the music?" Stacey asked bitterly.
"Do you want to know why I'm here?" JC asked in return. Stacey merely nodded in wonder.
"I'm here because the person I love told me to come. Not because you called me or management called me or because I was eager to be in the studio. I'm here because I was convinced by my Sweetheart." JC replied.
"Awwww How cute!!" Stefanie cooed. JC cast her a smile before he started to roll around on the chair.
"Well I don't care how much you're in love with her. If she cared for you she would have been here with you." Stacey retorted.
"The reason that person is not here is because there was a death in the family." JC replied before standing up.
"Oh I'm soo sorry. You know we didn't have to have this meeting now. We could have done other stuff." Renee said genuinely.
"Well it's a little too late now." JC replied sadly.
"You know what. Let's get all the recording down now. And then we'll leave you alone until we need you, which won't be for a while!" Stefanie replied.
"No but we'll need him at the music video rehearsals." Stacey added.
"No we won't. As long as he pitches us his ideas now then we won't need him at all." Stefanie said as she took him by the arm and started to walk with him toward the studios. Renee took him by the other arm and walked herself.
"We'll definitely need him at the venue show." Stacey said holding up her finger.
"No we won't. we just need Darrin there." Renee replied. JC snickered as Stacey ran behind them thinking of ideas where JC would have to be around her.
Justin pulled out his cell phone and dialed JC's cell phone number. He heard two rings before JC answered.
"Hello?" JC asked.
"Hey Sweety." Justin replied.
"Hey!" JC responded.
"I miss you sooo much." Justin said somberly.
"I miss you too. Where are you right now?" JC asked.
"Well we just landed. And we are about to stop at the gate. Can you come pick me up?" Justin asked.
"No I'm sorry Sweetheart. I'm completely swamped. You know I want to be there right?" JC replied.
"Yeah I know." Justin said disappointedly.
"So who else is on the flight with you?" JC asked.
"Well it's just me. Mom is staying back in Tennessee for a bit. The whole family is there. And then maybe in a month or so. Sometime after Jennie's wedding they'll be coming back." Justin replied.
"How was the service?" JC asked. Justin unbuckled his seat belt and stood up. He took his bag out from under his seat and slipped it over his shoulder.
"It was fine. Really sad." Justin replied sullenly.
"I'm soooo sorry Sweetheart. I wanted to be there with you. I really did." JC apologized.
"Don't worry Baby. I got through it with your leather jacket in my arms." Justin replied. he sadly trudged out of the plane knowing that no one was going to be waiting for him. He looked around and noticed the emptiness of the airport.
"I love you." JC said.
"I love you too." Justin replied. He came out of the gate and instantly stopped at the sight. He looked at the phone and then beck up. There in front of him was JC standing in a pair of nylon sweatpants and a sweatshirt. Similar to what he wore to Tennessee. But sitting on top of his head was Justin's Tar Heels hat. In his hand he held two dozen white roses. Justin smiled and walked up to him. JC gave him the flowers and gave him a brief hug.
"You are too sweet." Justin whispered to JC.
"Anything for you." JC whispered back as they walked side by side out of the airport. JC led Justin out of the airport terminal toward the parking lot. JC took a hold of Justin's bags and placed them in the trunk while Justin got seated in the passenger seat of the Jeep. He looked over to the visor that was down on JC's side of the car. He saw a picture of himself and smiled. JC got in and placed his seat belt on. He put the keys into the ignition and started the car.
"You are so sweet!" Justin said as he placed a kiss onto JC's cheek.
"For what?" JC asked in return taking a hold of Justin's hand.
"For keeping a picture of me in your car. For buying me roses. For surprising me. You are just too sweet for me." Justin said as he leaned over and kissed JC again.
"Well it's easy when you have a boyfriend as beautiful as you." JC replied. JC reversed the car and started to drive out of the parking lot. He kept his hand in the center where it was soon joined by Justin's. the two clasped hands while JC continued to drive. Justin leaned down and turned on the radio. The music blared out of the speakers while the two drove out of the airport area and started on their way home.
"Mais Non! Trafic!" JC exclaimed as they stopped behind another car.
"You're so cute when you speak French. What did you say?" Justin asked looking at JC tiredly.
"I said 'Oh no. Trafic'." JC laughed.
"Say something else." Justin requested.
"Je me fache avec ce trafic!" JC said as he pulled out of one lane and into another after looking over his shoulder.
"Okay I know it's about traffic but what did you say now?" Justin asked.
"I said that I'm angry with this traffic." JC replied as he finalized his entrance into the other lane.
"Okay! How do you say heart?" Justin asked.
"Le Coeur." JC replied.
"How do you say 'I love you.'?" Justin asked.
"Je t'aime." JC replied.
"With?" Justin asked.
"Avec." JC replied.
"All?" Justin asked.
"Tout." JC replied.
"My?" Justin asked.
"Mon." JC responded.
"Je t'aime Joshua Scott Chasez avec tout mon coeur." Justin replied proudly. JC gave a small laugh.
"Your grammar is wrong but it's still sweet." JC replied as he picked up his interlocked hand with Justin and kissed it softly. Justin smiled and squeezed JC's hand tighter.
JC pulled up to the house and turned off the car. He looked over to the passenger seat and found Justin fast asleep. JC smiled to himself before getting out of the car. He threw Justin's duffel bag over his shoulder and placed his suit bag on the other shoulder. He gently opened the passenger side door and placed his arms around Justin's sleeping body. He picked Justin's up and made sure he didn't hurt his head as he carried him out of the Jeep. JC closed the door with his foot and walked slowly up the walkway carrying Justin in his arms. He got to the door and pressed the doorbell slowly. He stared down at Justin who was using his shoulder as a pillow. JC smiled once again to himself before seeing the door open in front of him. Tyler held the door open while JC walked in. JC quietly made his way to the living room where he placed Justin down on the couch softly. JC stood up and looked at his lover lovingly. He leaned down and placed a small kiss on Justin's forehead.
"These past couple of days must have worn him out." Tyler said as he took a seat in the recliner.
"Yeah he's been strong though." JC replied softly. He started to walk up the stairs to his room.
"Hey Britney and Lance are in your room." Tyler said. JC nodded with a confusion and walked up the stairs. He walked into his room and found Lance and Britney kissing on the bed. He placed Justin's stuff down and walked into the bathroom. He quickly came back out and stared at the two making out.
"Hello." JC said. Lance and Britney quickly jumped away from each other and looked at JC guiltily.
"I really don't mind you two making out but I do mind that you are on my bed. The only person allowed to be on that bed are Me, Justin, and our future children." JC replied. Lance and Britney both got off the bed and looked down at the floor innocently.
"I'm just playing." JC laughed. Lance and Britney looked up in relief.
"Wait don't you have a girlfriend?" JC asked Lance.
"She broke up with me." Lance replied. JC went over to Britney and took her arm and moved her around the bed to Lance side before giving them both a hug.
"You two look so cute together!" JC cooed.
"Oh Lordy!" Britney claimed.
Justin sat in the hard turning chairs at the food court tables of the mall. Britney sat next to him slowly sipping on her milkshake while Christina took a fry into her mouth every once in while. Joey sat in the last chair with a coke in his hands. He took a sip before looking around.
"There aren't a lot of cute girls around today." Joey replied.
"But there are a lot of sexy guys." Britney chimed.
"Oh please they are all gay so get your eyes off of them." Justin snickered.
"They are not!! How do you know they are gay?" Britney asked. they had learned the art of keeping their voices down so that no one could hear them. Joey could barely hear Justin even though he was right across the table from him.
"Gaydar." Justin said taking a sip through his straw.
"Oh please. You can't judge someone by looking at them once." Christina replied.
"Well I can. Point out a guy and I'll tell you if he's gay or not." Justin said.
"Okay how about him?" Christina asked pointing to a man who was carrying a bunch of bags while wearing an Abercrombie & Fitch turtle neck sweater and cargo pants.
"Definitely! He has fashion sense." Justin said.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Lance has fashion sense and he's not gay." Britney replied.
"He does not have fashion sense. The only reason he looks good on his dates is because Me and JC help him pick out his clothes." Justin smiled.
"Well you still don't know." Christina replied.
"I bet that guy walks over and kisses that guy on the bench." Justin said pointing to the guy at the bench who the Abercrombie man was walking toward. Britney and Christina watched closely while Joey stole a fry from Christina. Sure enough the man walks over to the guy at the bench and leans down to place a kiss on his lips before taking a seat next to him.
"How did you know that!?!?!" Britney and Christina yelled. Justin and Joey instantly covered their ears.
"I'm telling you it's Gaydar." Justin replied while rubbing his ears.
"Wow. That's awesome." Britney said finally believing him.
"That and I met those two guys in the Abercrombie store like half an hour ago." Justin snickered.
"You're such an asshole!" Christina said as she glared at him. Justin kept laughing to himself as JC, Tyler, and lance came up to their table. JC took a seat on the chair behind Justin's and stradled it so he could face the group.
"What's so funny?" Justin asked.
"You tell him and I'll kick your ass." Christina said point her finger at him.
"Ooooo I'm soooo scared." Justin said sarcastically within his laughter.
"You better be." Christina smiled as he ate another fry.
"I'll tell you everything." Justin whispered to JC.
"No you won't!" Christina bellowed. Justin began to laugh once again.
"So whatcha buy?" Justin asked as he turned to face JC. JC only gave him a grin.
"You're not going to tell me huh?" Justin asked. JC shook his head with a grin. Justin smiled back at him and offered JC some of his drink.
JC sat in the den of the house looking over the bills and paperwork that he had to get done. He let out a sigh and sat back in the office chair and looked at the fire place where a fire was blazing. Leo slept in front of the fire peacefully while heat emitted into the room.
"You know you've been working to hard why don't you take a small break." Justin said as he walked into the room with two mugs. He walked over to JC and placed both mugs down on the desk before taking a seat on JC's lap sideways, his legs hanging over the armrest.
"I'm almost done. Just have to fill out all the forms for Wild Orchid and I'm done. I'm all yours then." JC whispered as he wrapped both arms around Justin.
"Do you think that we've gotten like a married couple already? You know, I mean that we don't date and we'd much rather spend the day together at home then go catch a movie or some dinner outside?" Justin asked.
"Yeah I do. But it's not our fault. It's just because we're so stressed out with work and all. And plus we're guys. The whole world isn't ready to see the amount of love I have for you." JC said. Justin placed an arm around JC's neck and looked around a bit.
"You're cute." Justin snickered.
"Why thank you." JC replied. Justin sat up and looked at some of the stuff on the desk. JC slipped his hands into the pockets of Justin's pajama bottoms. And rested his cheek against Justin's back.
"What's this?" Justin asked as he picked up a piece of paper. JC looked over Justin's shoulder to catch a glance.
"It's a receipt." JC replied.
"I know and it's a receipt from Tiffany's. Now you better not being some other person jewelry because I know you didn't buy me any lately." Justin said jealously.
"Calm down Sweetheart. It was supposed to be a surprise for later but I guess I can give it to you now." JC said as he reached down and opened the bottom drawer of his desk. He pulled out a velvet covered box while Justin turned in JC's lap resting his back against the desk so he could face JC.
"Sweetheart you know I love you. And I would do anything for you. I don't want you to forget me ever. So I got you this." JC said handing Justin the box before placing a small kiss on his forehead.
"What is it?" Justin asked.
"Open it." JC replied. Justin opened the box and found a silver chain with a musical note charm hanging from it. Justin looked up at JC excitedly before looking down at the chain.
"Wow Josh! I love it." Justin said as he turned the musical note over and over again in his hand.
"Open up the musical note." JC whispered. Justin looked to the side and opened the seam of the charm. Inside were two pictures. One was a tiny picture of Justin and JC and the other was just of JC.
"You don't have to keep those pictures. I just put them in there becau. . ." JC was stopped by Justin placing a big kiss on his lips. The two separated and looked at each other.
"You are always going to stay right by my heart." Justin whispered before kissing him again.
"I love you Sweetheart." JC replied giving another kiss to him.
"I love you too." Justin replied. all of a sudden the two heard a dog yapping. They looked down at the base of the chair and found Leo standing up against the base of the chair yapping at them. Justin reached down and scooped Leo into his arms before placing him in JC's lap between himself and JC.
"We love you too." JC said as he petted Leo softly. Leo stood up in JC's lap and started to lick JC's face.
"Hey that's my job!" Justin said tickling the dog. Leo turned around and started to hop around.
TBC. . .
