Welp I guess I have nothing else to say and I should probably let you guys and gals read. Here ya go.
Josh and Just 9
"Okay thanks Justin. And JC you would probably have Justin than correct?" Jennie asked as she wrote everything down, unfazed by what Justin had just said.
"Umm yeah." JC replied nervously. He looked toward Justin who would not make eye contact with Britney. JC took Justin's hand into his and gave it a comforting squeeze. Justin looked up from the table to connect eyes with JC. JC gave him a small smile before looking over to Britney. Britney looked from Justin to JC and back to Justin with confusion.
"Wow!" was the only thing Britney could say. Justin searched Britney for what she thought. He watched her face with worry as did everyone else in the room.
"Well I've never really been friends with a gay couple." Britney started. She received a saddened face from Justin.
"But they do say there is a first for everything." Britney finished. Justin looked up at her shyly before smiling uncontrollably. He let out a sigh as he leaned against JC.
"Good now that that is over with we can move on. If you open your contract to the first page and read that over we can see if you guys have any disagreements." William claimed.
"Mommy! Mommy!" a little boy yelled running through the door. Justin popped his head up at Britney.
"He's not mine." Britney laughed as she looked at Justin's facial expression between confusion and anger.
"What Honey? I thought I told you to stay put?" Jennie said as she looked down at her son.
"Noah and I were playing hide and seek and he still hasn't found me yet." The child beamed. Jennie smiled at the kids enthusiasm and ruffled his hair. A man came into the room as if he had been running a marathon. He breathed heavily and searched the room.
"Sorry Jennie. I'll take him out now." Noah said walking over to Jennie.
"Okay. Seth, go with Noah, I'll be out in a second." Jennie said t the child. The child nodded before taking the older man's hand and walking out of the room.
"You have a kid?" Joey asked, Jennie.
"Yeah." Jennie replied.
"He's adorable." Britney cooed.
"Yeah I know. He can be a handful sometimes." Jennie said, before looking back at the papers in front of her.
"Okay. Here's the deal. We are heading to the airport in about half an hour. We will land at LAX where we will board the bus you'll be in for the next two months or so. We'll drive that to Big Bear Mountain. And then you'll do all the shows you have planned. Britney, you can just hang out with the guys or go skiing or something." Jennie said, issuing their plane tickets. Seth clung to her leg all the while.
"After we land you will head with Jennie while I accompany your security to pick up your baggage from the hull of the plane." William said.
"What did he say?" Chris asked.
"He said he's going with our security to pick up all our stuff before it goes with the rest of the luggage to the terminal." Joey translated. Chris nodded and listened intently.
"Okay s the limousine is outside. You guys can hop in and I'll be right behind you. They all left the building and piled into the limo which was waiting. The trip to the airport seemed like a blur. They found themselves boarding the plane in no time at all. Justin took a first class seat next to the window and looked out and gazed down at the runway where people scurried and others drove around in little cars. He heard someone sit down next to him and turned to see who it was. There smiling back at him was JC.
"Hey you! I thought you had a seat in the back of the cabin.
"Yeah well I switched with Joey." JC said, buckling hie seat belt. JC and Justin's attention was brought across the aisle where Jennie was trying to get her child into his seat.
"come one Seth. The plane is not that bad." Jennie tried to persuade. The child continued to scream and yell. Justin unbuckled his seat belt and walked in front of the kid. He crouched down and looked at the kid face to face.
"Hey Seth. I'm Justin." Justin said. Seth looked at Justin and smiled.
"Hello Justin." Seth replied, as he hyperventilated due to the tears he had just shed.
"What's the matter? Are you afraid to fly?" Justin asked the child. Seth nodded shyly.
"It's okay to be scared. I get scared sometimes. But nothing is going to happen to you. It's safe. I've been on a plane so many times and I'm still here." Justin tried to soothed the child. Seth nodded in understanding.
"Can I sit with you?" Seth asked Justin.
"Sure you can, if it's okay with your mother." Justin said looking over to Jennie. Jennie nodded in approval with a smile on her face, seeing how Justin was stopped her child from crying. Justin scooped up the little boy and placed him down when they got to his seat.
"JC can you and Seth switch seats for a little while. He's afraid to fly." Justin asked. JC smiled t the way Justin had a way with children.
"Sure thing. I'll just go have a little conversation with his mom." JC said ruffling the kids hair as he stood. Justin gave him a smile before taking his seat and buckling in Seth. JC waked over to Jennie and took the seat next to her.
"Hello Jennie." JC said as he buckled himself in. As he did he felt the plane start to move around on the runway.
"Hey JC. I'm so sorry about the whole Seth thing. He's never flown before." Jennie replied apologetically.
"It's no problem at all. He's cute. Is he going t be on tour with us?" JC picked up a magazine and started to flip through it.
"Unfortunately yes. There's no one to take care of him besides me." Jennie replied.
"What about his father?" JC asked.
"He left me when he found out I was pregnant with Seth." Jennie responded. JC stopped flipping through the magazine and looked toward Jennie.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." JC apologized.
"It's quite alright JC. I'm happy the way it is. His father wouldn't have been much of a father figure. I was young and stupid and I didn't know what I was getting into. But now I have a great job with a beautiful child. The only sad part is I'm probably going to drive you guys nuts with him. He's really hyper." Jennie replied.
"Well no, he's adorable. And I know we won't mind. We all love children, especially Justin. So it's not a problem. But isn't taking him on tour a little weird for him. Not having friends he sees everyday or staying at home." JC inquired.
"Well I wanted him to stay at home with someone but there is no one. I have a brother but he's going to college in New York. I couldn't burden him with a kid while he's studying. And my parents are out of the country on a trip to Europe. So I only have the option of taking him on tour." Jennie replied.
"I see. I guess that's pretty bad. So how do you manage work as well as handling a child?" JC asked.
"He's handful. I pretty much work at home until I was assigned to the tour. So this way I can take care of him as well as handle contracts and stuff from home. Most of the time when I have to head to the studio. He'll come with me. He's learned to be quiet while I'm in a meeting and he can handle being with people I ask him to be with. He the best child a mother could have." Jennie said looking over to Seth who was now talking to Justin. Justin pointed out the window where the clouds floated by.
"Justin does have a way with children. I've never seen Seth so comfortable. He's usually a little intimidated around adults." Jennie smiled.
"Yeah Justin is special." JC agreed.
"You really do like him huh?" Jennie asked.
"Yes I do." JC sighed.
"How long have you two been together?" Jennie inquired.
"Well we've been best friends for years but we've been together as a couple for maybe about a week. If you want to call it that." JC shrugged.
"Well you obviously love each other." Jennie stated.
"How can you tell?" JC asked.
"I'm not sure. It's just something about you two. When you are around each other you don't need to say it but it's just the way you look at each other. Or the way you two held hands through the whole meeting or the way you watched over him and made sure he had everything." Jennie claimed.
"Really?" JC asked in surprise.
"Yeah, it's become second nature to you but it's still shows how much love you have for someone." Jennie said. JC sat and thought about it for a second. He did do all those things.
"Sorry to interrupt your conversation. But I have some news for the both of you. It regards the incident that occurred at Justin's home a couple of days ago." William said as he crouched next to JC's seat to tell them the news.
"Well the man that intruded Justin's home was shot but not fatally. He was shot in the chest and survived. They searched his home and found every possible newspapers article about Justin and about his aggressor. He seemed to be obsessed with Justin and wanted him himself. He was placed in the psychiatric ward of the hospital and may face three years in prison. We managed to get Justin out of going to court." William explained.
"How did this guy find out where Justin lived?" Jennie asked.
"Well it seemed he sent a box of flowers to the studio knowing it was going to be sent to Justin's house sometime or another. He stayed at the studio and followed the person who delivered the flowers to Justin's house. He stood outside and observed everyone from outside the whole day and at night he entered the house." William explained.
"Why did he go after Jonathan though?" JC questioned.
"He never said anything about that o the police." William answered.
"Okay well I'll tell Justin about the guy." JC stated. William nodded and took his seat once again.
"Mommy!" Seth yelled as he ran over to his mom.
"Well I guess I should back to Justin now." JC said.
"Bye JC." Jennie said.
"Bye." JC followed. He walked over to where Justin was seated and found Justin curled up in the seat as he slept soundly. JC let out a small laughed and took off his leather jacket. He gently placed it around Justin and took his seat. He lifted the armrest that divided his seat from Justin and slowly turned Justin so that he was laying out on both seats with his head in JC's lap. Justin stirred a bit before pulling the jacket tighter around him and going back to sleep. JC gazed down at the blond angel sleeping in his lap. He slowly ran his fingers through Justin's curls. He allowed his hand to slide down to the Justin's cheek where he lightly ran his fingers over Justin's skin. JC smiled to himself before closing his eyes himself.
The plane came to a halt in front of the gate and prepared for the passengers to exit the plane. Justin took off his seat belt and tiredly got up and stretched. He was brought out of his sleep about ten minutes ago when the plane was about to make it's final descent by JC. At that time Justin found that he was sprawled out in the seat with his head resting on JC's leg. He had looked up and found JC smiling down at him. It was only when he stood up to get his carryon bag that he realized he was wearing JC' leather jacket. He through on his backpack and waited patiently to leave the plane. He earnestly grabbed JC's hand and pulled him along. The two made it out of t he plane and waited on the side for everyone else to join up.
"How was your plane ride?" Justin asked Britney as she tiredly walked out of the plane.
"I want more sleep. It's only nine o'clock here but it's midnight for us." Britney complained as she stood next to Justin and rested her head on his shoulder. Justin wrapped an arm around her as they waited. Seth came running out with Jennie right behind him. JC grabbed him and picked him up.
"Where do you think you're going little buddy?" JC asked with a laugh. Seth turned and faced JC and was fascinated by JC's necklace, He started to fiddle with it. Jc laughed and held the boy in his arms.
"Okay we're all here let's head out. Put disguises on." Chris said taking out his hat. They all placed on their sunglasses and hats and walked out of the gate together. They heard the sound of teenage girls screaming up ahead.
"Wow these girls even know when our plane lands!" Lance claimed as he saw all the girls. Justin Jennie, Lance, William, and JC, slipped through the crowd without being noticed. After JC passed through the crowd he placed Seth down and took his hand.
"Where is Joey and Chris?" Justin asked him.
"And Britney." Jennie asked.
"They got caught by the crowd. They'll be here soon. I saw security guards go in there already. They all heard a shriek in the crowd. Their heads snapped back to see Britney being carried by a security guard out of the crowd. Chris and Joey pushed out behind the bulky guard. The guard set Britney down next to Justin while Chris and Joey tore away from grabbing hands.
"What happened?" Justin laughed.
"Well all the people were kind of bearing down on me and I was trapped in a group of people. One of them even pinched my ass." Britney said, while running the side of her butt. Justin and Lance burst laughter.
"It's not funny! It hurt! Anyways. The guard literally picked me up over his head and carried me away." Britney smiled.
"And we just kind of hid behind him and followed him out." Chris said, looking back to see the group of people held back by airport security.
"Well let's head out." William suggested.
"Okay you guys. This is the bus. We have bunks in the back long with the lounge. And the bathroom and kitchen is right here. Dining area and seats are right here. There should be six bunks back there. Us management and crew will be traveling in the other bus. So tonight you can head to sleep or do whatever. Tonight the drivers are driving. So we'll be there when you get up." Jennie stated. The guys all nodded in agreement as did Britney. They piled onto the bus and walked down the pathway to where the bunks were situated.
"I get a top bunk." Justin called. Justin through his backpack into a top bunk and climbed up. JC took the bunk under his while Britney took the one across from JC. Above her was Joey. Lance took a top bunk next to Justin's while Chris took the one under his. All six of them walked back to the lounge where they sat down either on one of the two small sofas or the floor. JC took a seat at the corner of a sofa and received Justin into his arms. Lance sat on the other sofa while Britney plopped down next to him. Chris sat on the sofa arm while Joey sat on the floor with the remote. He flipped through the channels as the bus began to make it's way to the sierra summit. The rain began to lightly tap against the top of the bus sending an echo of sound through the long hollow vehicle.
"I love the rain." Britney stated as she hugged herself on the couch.
"So do I." Justin smiled as he rested the back of his head against JC's shoulder. `This is perfect! JC and me curled up on a couch together. Doing nothing. Just being together.' Justin thought as he felt JC's strength filled arms tighten around him.
"Hey does anyone know exactly what we're doing at this Snowed In thing?" Chris questioned.
"I think some one gets to win a date with us." Lance answered. Justin felt JC's cheek rest against his.
"I love you Josh." Justin said softly.
"I love you too Justin." JC replied as he kissed Justin on the cheek.
"Wait we have to go out on a date? Where are we going to take her?" Joey asked.
"Well I think we just take her out to dinner at the lodge or someplace like that. No where fancy." Justin answered.
"How about we go out tomorrow night after that. Just us two." JC proposed. Justin sat up straight and turned around to face JC. He had a big smile across his face as he gawked at JC.
"You know that's going to be our first date." Justin stated.
"Yes I know. And no other way to spend it than with you in a nice quiet lodge in front of a fire enjoying a nice meal and hot chocolate." JC suggested. Justin gave JC a kiss before resting his cheek on JC's chest.
"You two need a life." Lance joked.
"Shut up Lance! They are in love!" Britney cooed.
"So Just because they are in love, they have a right to be all mushy and stuff in front of us?" Lance cracked.
"Oh please, like you wouldn't be like that if Danielle walked through that door right now." Chris laughed.
"Well that's another story." Lance grinned. Chris nodded and turned back toward the TV. There was a movie on with Freddie Prinze Jr. on.
"You know he's pretty cute." Justin claimed.
"Hey!" JC said, taking offense.
"Oh but not as cute as you Josh." Justin said shaking his head. JC pulled Justin closer and kissed him on the forehead.
"He's going to be my boyfriend one day." Britney announced.
"Dream on." Justin laughed. Britney picked up a pillow and threw it at Justin. Justin caught it and threw it back at her but missed. The pillow hit Lance in the face. Lance snapped his head toward Justin and Britney.
"Okay now which one of you rugrats did that?" Lance asked.
"It was Britney. She had it planned all along. I saw her with my own two eyes." Justin accused.
"Liar!" Britney retorted. She hopped up and jumped on top of Justin who was sitting on JC. JC held Justin in place while Britney tickled him.
"Hey! No fair!" Justin yelled. Britney slowly began to cease her tickling and returned to her seat.
"You are so mean!" Justin said as he hit JC in the chest.
"I love you too." JC replied. Justin leaned in and kissed JC before turning around and continuing to watch the TV.
"Freddie would never hold me down while some psychotic girl tickled me." Justin mumbled, jokingly.
"Freddie wouldn't hold you, period." JC snickered. Justin smiled and became comfortable again.
Joey silently got up from his spot on the floor while Britney waited at the light switch ready to turn it off. Lance turned off the TV while Chris took a blanket and covered JC and Justin with it. Chris tiptoed out of the room with Lance behind him. The four left the room leaving Justin and JC to sleep in peace. JC stirred a bit before kissing Justin on the forehead and falling back to sleep.
