These last few episodes have gotten the best response, mostly because of that little scene with Justin. Well, if you liked that, just wait! It'll only get better from here on, I promise. Anyways, on with the show!! <--I love it when I say that!
XIX
The phone was ringing and it woke both of us up.
"This is your wake up call that you ordered Mr. Bass." Said the receptionist on the phone, "It is now 7:00, thank you!"
Before he could say anything, she hung up.
"Who was it?" I said groggily.
"Wake up call! " he said equally as tired.
"Do you have to go?"
"Yeah, sorry babe!" he said as I gave him a sad puppy dog look, "But, you could always come with us!"
"I can't! I gotta do a lot of stuff today." I said disappointedly.
"Please?" He said returning the puppy dog look.
"I want to baby, I really do! But today is the only day that I get a chance to do it!"
"I know, I know! It doesn't mean I have to like it though!"
"Come here!" I said as I pulled him into a kiss.
"Mmmm! Baby!" He said enjoying the kiss, "Baby!....Baby!....ROB!"
"What?!?"
"I gotta get dressed!"
"Fine! Go, leave me here alone!" I said in a dramatic voice.
"You truly are crazy!"
"But that's why you love me right???" I said fluttering my eyelashes.
"Yeah!" he said as he pinched my cheek.
"GO get dressed!" I said as I smacked him on his ass.
"Hey!" he said as he grabbed his ass, "Don't start that now!"
"Whatever, GO!"
"Alright, alright! I'm goin, I'm goin!"
He went into the bathroom, took a quick shower and shaved. I walked in on him shaving cause I had to take a piss. He looked so cute with the shaving on his face like that. After I finished, I went and stood behind him and put my arm around his waist, and my chin on his shoulder.
"You missed a spot." I said as I took the razor from his hand.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
"Calm down! I know what I'm doing! I've been shaving since I was 15."
"Yeah, but you might cut me!"
"You don't trust me?"
"I do....but...."
"Then?"
"But....."
"Turn around!"
"But......"
"Just do it you big baby!"
"But....."
"See, that's not so bad is it?" I said as I started to shave him.
"Just be careful!" He said watching my every move.
After a few seconds he began to relax and actually enjoy it.
"All done! Take a look!" I said as I turned him around.
"Pretty good!" he said stroking his face.
"And you were worried!"
"Shut up!"
We laughed as he finished in the bathroom. We both started to get dressed. Once clothed, we all went across the hall to JC's room. We walked in and everyone was there except Justin.
"Where's Justin?" Lance asked.
"Still in his room." Joey said.
"That boy takes forever!"
"I know!" Chris said.
"Is he even awake?" I asked.
"I don't know! We called him and told him to wake up and we haven't heard from him since." JC said.
"Come on JC you know you gotta wake him up more than once for him to finally get up!" Lance said reprimanding him.
"I know, I know! I'm just tired, I forgot!"
"Calm down you two!" I said, "I'll go over there and get him up!"
"Whatever!"
I went over to Justin's room and knocked on the door. There was no answer so I tried turning the knob to see if it was open, and sure enough, it was!
"Justin?" I said walking into the dark room, "Justin?"
I looked around the room for him and he was still in bed.
"Ok! I guess I gotta wake him up then." I said to myself.
I walked over to the bed and shook him. He still didn't wake up.
"Justin!" I said still shaking him.
Still nothing.
"JUSTIN!" I shouted.
Still nothing.
"Damn! This guy won't wake up for shit!" I said to myself.
I thought to myself,
"How did mom used to get me up when I didn't want to go to school when I was a kid? Oh yeah!"
I went into the bathroom and got a cup ice cold water. I went back over to his bed, pulled back the covers and quickly threw the cup of water onto him. What I didn't realize was that he naked. I didn't notice this until he reacted to the water.
"AAHHHH!" he said as he sat up quickly.
"Oh shit!" I said now noticing his naked body.
"What the hell are you doing?!?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were....I had to wake you up and... I'm sorry!"
"Well, don't just stand there, give me my covers back!"
I threw the covers back on him and turned around.
"Thanks! Now you got me and my bed all wet!"
"I'm soooo sorry! You wouldn't wake up and that's the only thing I could think of."
"What do you want anyway?"
"The guys are waiting for you! You gotta do Regis & Kathy Lee!"
"Oh shit! I forgot!" he said hitting his head with both of his hands.
The blanket dropped and he was naked again.
"Eh hem!" I said as I nudged my head towards his direction.
"Oh shit!" he said picking the blanket again.
"Look, just get ready, and make it fast! The guys are waiting for you in JC's room."
"Ok, I'll be right there!"
"And hurry up!" I said as I walked out the door, "Oh my god!" I said to myself in the hallway, "I just saw Justin naked, morning wood and all!" I said starting to laugh.
I went back to JC's room and the guys saw me laughing.
"What happened?" Lance asked.
"Nothing!" I said still laughing.
"What?" Joey asked.
"Well, Justin's awake!"
"What's so funny then?" Chris asked.
"Well...." I said hesitating.
"What?" they all asked.
I told them what happened and they started cracking up. I started turning red and they laughed even harder.
"Did you like what you saw?" Chris said.
"Shut up!" I said still laughing.
"Justin ain't nothing to brag about anyway!" JC said.
"And you would know because?"
"After living with somebody for as long as we have, you're bound to walk in on the jerkin off sooner or later!"
"WHAT?!?"
"Oh yeah, we've all walked in on each other at least once!" Joey said.
"Especially when the lock on the bus bathroom was broken!" Lance said.
"Oh yeah I remember!" Chris said.
"You should! You were the one who was caught the most!" Joey said throwing a pillow at Chris.
"Shut up!" He said throwing the pillow back at him, he missed and it hit me.
"Doofus!" I said throwing the pillow back him.
"What?" Chris said as he caught the pillow.
"Doofus, what?"
"I haven't heard anybody use that word in a long time!"
"Me either!" Joey said looking at me strangely.
Just then Justin walked in the room.
"Hey nature boy!" Chris said as he pointed and laughed.
We all laughed as Justin turned bright red.
"Can we just eat some breakfast?!?" Justin said trying to change the subject.
"How bout two hard boiled eggs and a sausage?" Chris said falling on JC's bed laughing.
"Shut up!" Justin said as he ran and jumped on top of Chris.
They started wrestling and Justin pinned Chris.
"Say you're sorry!"
"I'm sorry... naked boy!" He said laughing again.
Justin started punching him playfully and we were all just looking at them and laughing.
"Alright, alright! I'm sorry! Get off me!" Chris finally gave in and said.
Justin got off of Chris and the got up.
"Damn! You hit me hard! What did I tell you about using your dick as a bat?" He said as he laughed and ran behind JC.
Justin ran after him and Lance said,
"Alright! That's enough! After all we do have an interview to get to and I would like to eat something before we get there!"
"Yes daddy!" Chris said.
"Let's go get something to eat at that diner across the street. Come on jerk off boy, get Dirk Diggler over there and let's go!"
We all started laughing while we walked out the door. We left the hotel and went across the street to this diner. We got in with only a few fans asking them for autographs, considering it was still early. We were seated and we ordered our food.
"So, we're meeting at the big fountain in front of Central Park on the West Side right?" Joey asked.
"Yeah, that's where you said." I said.
"Ok, just making sure."
"I still don't know about this guys!" Lance said.
"Look, don't worry about it! If it's gonna bother you so much I'll just say that I brought two of my friends. I won't mention anything about you two."
"Ok. Thanks!"
"So, what about the rest of you guys? What do you have planned for today?" I asked.
"Well, I'm going shopping after we're done with the interview. I need a new pair of sneakers." Justin said.
"How many pairs do you actually have?"
"Too many!" JC said, "Between all the ones he keeps in the bus and the ones he has at home, you could start a shoe warehouse!"
"Is it that bad?"
"Yup!" Chris said.
"Damn boy!" I said, "What about you two? What do you have planned?"
"I don't know! Maybe I'll go to the movies or something. You wanna come with me Chris?" JC said.
"Ok, what movie?"
"I don't know, whatever is playing! We'll decide when we get there."
"OK!"
The food came and we ate pretty fast. Food goes quickly when you place it in front of 6 hungry guys. Once we were all finished eating, we left the diner. It was around 8:00, the guys felt that they should leave now because of traffic and all that.
"We'd better get going now, before we hit all that traffic!" JC said.
"Yeah, he's right!" Lance said.
"Do you have to go now? I was having so much fun!" I said with the puppy dog look.
"Yeah, but don't worry, we'll have fun later when we meet!"
"Ok, fine. I'll see you guys later then. Have fun!"
They got into the limo that was taking them to the ABC studios. I walked over to my car, got in and started to drive home.

"I can't wait till we get back to Orlando!" Justin said.
"Me either! Finally get into some warm weather, and out of this freezing city!" agreed Chris.
"It ain't that bad! Come on, you gotta admit, New York is definitely one of the coolest cities that we go to!" Joey said.
"Yeah, but not in the winter! It's freezing out there!" Justin said.
"So what! We've been in colder places!" Lance said.
"True."
"Then?"
"I don't know! I guess I just miss my mom and Johnathen."
"Aww!" Chris said.
"Shut up!"
"Don't you two start again!" JC said.
"Well, here we are! Let's go and get this over with!" Justin said.
They got out of the limo and were greeted by dozens of screaming fans, most of the girls. Used to it already, they made their way through the crowd, signing the occasional autograph and taking pictures. After about a half-hour trying to get inside the building, they finally made it in and met with the producers. They were in the green room waiting to go on, watching TV when Lance's cell phone began to ring.
"Hello?" he asked.
"Hey babe!"
"Rob!"
"Yeah, I'm home now. Just thought I'd check up on you guys, make sure that Chris and Justin haven't killed each other yet."
"Almost, but not yet."
"Let me speak to him! Let me speak to him!" Chris said jumping up and down like a little 5 year old.
"Hold on, Chris wants to speak to you." Lance said giving the phone to Chris.
"Hey Rob! How's it goin?"
"Uh.... ok I guess."
"Let me ask you a question."
"What?"
"Was there any shrinkidge when you poured the water on Justin this morning?"
"I'm gonna kick your ASS!" Justin said running over to Chris.
"I gotta go, here's Lance!" he said throwing the phone to Lance then running for dear life.
"They're like 5 year olds I swear!" Lance said putting the phone to his ear.
"I don't know how you've dealt with those to for as long as you have!"
"Me either, but don't worry, you'll get to deal with them too!"
"Yippy!" I said sarcastically.
"Five minutes you guys!" The producer came in and said.
"Oh, I gotta go. We're about to go on!"
"Ok, I'll be watching!"
"Bye, love you!"
"Love you too, bye!"
We hung up and they went out on stage. I put the TV on just as they were being announced. Once they said their names all the girls in the audience started screaming. They started to play the music to "I want you back". I watched my friends and my baby do what they did best, and that was perform! The song finished and they went to a commercial. I started to clean up in the living room whatever was left undone since the guys left. They came back from commercial, and I sat on the couch with a cup of coffee. They asked the typical questions, just like the radio interview, except, this was a little more strict, it wasn't as free as an atmosphere. After all the standard questions were asked, they were asked to perform again. They went to another commercial and I went to the bathroom. I came back just as they were coming back. The music started to play "God must have spent a little more time on you" I sat down and watched my boys sing. During the song, they put a close-up on Lance. He then looked into the camera and winked at me. I caught this and said,
"I love you too baby!"
They finished the song and they were done. Five minutes after the show finished, my cell phone started to ring. I ran over to where I had put my coat and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hey!" Lance said.
"Hey you!"
"Did you catch the show?"
"You know I did! I love you too!"
"I knew you get it!"
"Of course!"
"Well, we gotta go to a press conference and then a photo shoot, we should be done around 12 as planned. So, I'll see you then!"
"Ok, I'm gonna start packing. I'll see you later! I love you!"
"I love you too!"
I hung up the phone and went into my room. I looked in my closet for my suitcases. Once I found them I put them on the bed and started looking through my clothes. I wasn't sure if I should pack all of my clothes or just some to last till next I came to NY. I decided to pack most of my clothes, but not all of them. After all, if I was going to let Jay housesit for me, I thought it best to leave him some clothes to steal, so he could pick on my, better than his, fashion sense. Speaking of which, I reminded myself that I had to call Jay. I paged him and left the message to "call me after school or during lunch". I continued packing and after five my phone started to ring. I picked it up and it was Jay.
"Lunch time already?" I asked him.
"Yeah, sort of! My teacher is absent so I cut." He softly.
"How nice!"
"So what's up?"
"Well, I have a proposition for you."
"What?"
"How would you...... like to housesit...for me while I'm on tour?"
"For real?!?"
"Yeah! Provided that you keep the place clean, don't throw any parties, and keep everything the way I have it!"
"Sure, I just gotta ask my parents!"
"If you won't can't then I'm either ask Rick or ask my mom to just drop in the place every once and a while. Oh yeah, if you are able to do it, we would have to go over a few rules! After all it is still my house!"
"Oh yeah no doubt!"
"If I find out that you have violated any of these rules, I'm kick you out and ask someone else to do it."
"Aight, that's understandable."
"Go over with your parents and get back to me."
"Ok, I'll let you know either by today or tomorrow."
"OK, I gotta finish packing! I'll check you later."
"Later!"
"Bye."
I hung up the phone, and went back into my closet. I put some clothes in the wash and thought about anything else I might have to do.
Meanwhile the guys were in the limo on their photo shoot. They were all talking and Joey was on the phone with Nitasha, the girl who he was going to be on the date with.
"Yeah, so we'll meet in front of the big fountain on W 59th St. you know where I'm talking about?" Joey said.
"Yeah, I've been there a million times. So who are these friends you are bringing?"
"Just two good friends of mine!"
"Do I get to know their names?
"Nope!"
"Why?"
"I wanna wait to introduce you all!"
"Ok whatever!"
"Hey! Guess what?"
"What?"
"I dunno!"
"Doofus!"
"Huh?"
"I called you a doofus!"
"Ok....whatever! I'll see you later!"
"Bye!"
"Bye!"
Joey hung up the phone and a strange look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Justin asked.
"Nothin!" He said coming out of his trance.
"Ok?!? You sure you ok Joe?" JC asked.
"Yeah!"
"Dudes! I gotta great idea!" Lance screamed.
"What?" they all said curiously.
"We should throw a surprise going away party for Rob!"
"Cool! But how?" JC asked.
"Well, we could call his mom and we can organize it. We can throw it on Sunday when we're supposed to go out to dinner!"
"Good idea!" Justin said.
"Who'll call his parents?" Joey asked.
"More importantly, how are we gonna get her number?" JC asked.
"Look in the phone book and see if they are listed." Chris said.
"Yeah!" Lance agreed.
"Hmm, we'll take care of the later when you guys are out." JC said.
"This'll be sooo cool!" Lance said giddily.
"Ok, we'll discuss this later, we're here!"
I decided to take a shower after the hassle of packing. It was around 10:30, I had plenty of time to kill. I thought more about what I had to do.
"Ok, I know that all of this months bills have already been paid. Money! Oh yeah, my check! I'll pick that up before I go downtown. Let's see, what else? Oh yeah, I gotta call mom and tell her about the car." I said to myself as I showered.
I got out of the shower, put on the radio and got dressed. I called my mom and told her about the car and she agreed. By the time I got off the phone with my mom, it was 11:30. I grabbed my coat and went to my car. I called my former boss from the car and told him that I was coming to pick up my check. He said that it was ready and was sorry to see me go but was happy for me. I got there, saw some old friends and they all congratulated me and some even cried because they would miss me. Because of all of this I was running a little late. I still had to cash my check and make it down through mid- day traffic. After I left, I called Lance on his cell.
"Hey, I'm running a little late but I'll be there between 12:30 and 1. I gotta go, I'll see you, love you bye!" I said all in one breath and hung up the phone.
"What was that all about?" Joey whispered to Lance.
"That was Rob, he'll be a little late."
"Ok!" He said turning back to Nitasha, "Well, my other friend is running a little late so we'll just sit around and wait."
"Ok, whatever!" she said.
They went over to a bench, sat down and started talking.
