Chapter 21
Since it was a rare occasion that you all went to a club together, you decided to make it a little special and forego the usual jeans and t-shirts and dress it up a bit. Justin, you realized long ago, could dress to kill and tonight was no exception. He also knew exactly what you liked. In what could only be described as a miracle, he showered quickly. When finished, he chose a pair of black linen pants, somewhat tighter than what he was accustomed to wearing. Complimenting them was a black beater, and a shear black shirt over it, which served no purpose other than to drive anyone who saw it crazy with the hopes that he would soon remove it. A smile came over your face as you realized that as soon as he hit the dance floor the outer shirt would be gone.
In an effort to avert attention, you decided to arrive at the club in small groups. The rented Explorer pulled up the curb and you, Justin, Chris and Danni exited and quickly made your way to the club entrance. While the bouncer was checking the IDs of some very young looking patrons, you took the opportunity to talk to Justin.
"Listen Justin, I know you are out to have a good time, but what are you plans for drinking tonight?" you asked cautiously. "I really don't want to see a repeat of last time.
You could tell he was embarrassed by the question. "Just a couple of beers while I'm dancing. No repeat performance, I promise."
You gave him a quick wink. "Sounds good. I might even join you!"
The look of shock covered his face. "You're kidding me. Other than champagne when we are celebrating, I've never seen you take a drink."
"I guess that's because I never have. I don't want to rely on a drink to have a good time, but to be perfectly honest I could really use a little something to help me unwind. Since we won't be driving tonight, I figured why not. Just don't think you can get me drunk and take advantage of me. That's not gonna happen."
Danni had overheard the end of your conversation. "Yeah, Justin that's not gonna happen," she laughed, "but only because you can't rape the willing."
You had every intention of presenting her with the perfect come back, but the bouncer was motioning you forward.
"I need to see some ID gentlemen."
"ID?" Justin asked nervously.
"Yeah, that's the rules. No ID, no entrance.
Reluctantly, Justin reached for his wallet and handed his driver's license to the large form blocking the entrance to the club.
"Hhmmm, it really is you," he said with a chuckle. "You know I really shouldn't be letting you in here, so how about we cut a deal and you don't make me regret my decision. Fair enough?"
"Not a problem," Justin agreed. "You won't even know I'm here."
You could see the relief on Justin's face as the bouncer returned his license to him.
"You guys enjoy yourselves. The owners appreciate your business and we'll do our best to make sure you have a good time. Basically, this is a private club. Unless I recognize you, or you know one of the owners, you don't get in. It makes a nice atmosphere for people who want enjoy their privacy."
Justin extended his hand to the guard. "Thanks, we appreciate it."
You and Justin entered the club and immediately scanned the room for some familiar faces. You spotted Danni immediately who motioned you over to one corner of the club. Members of the five bands had basically taken over one whole section of the club and while waiting for their drinks to be served had hit the dance floor.
A huge smile covered Justin's face as his four friends motioned him to the dance floor. At this point, the guys had converged on the dance floor and with the blaring sound of Sisco's "The Thong Song" filling the club they preceded to dance with as much energy as they had on stage. Of course, while the stage show tended to be "PG" rated, their club dancing showed a bit more flavor.
Danni could only shake her head as she watched Chris and Justin.
"Will he ever grow up?" she asked rhetorically as she watched Chris shake his ass. "Obviously he's been watching too many Jennifer Lopez videos."
"To answer your question, no, he'll never grow up and I know Justin is gonna want a cold beer when he's finished. How about we order some drinks?"
"Sounds good. Chris wants Crown on the rocks and I'll have strawberry margarita."
"Strawberry margarita? you inquired. That sounds interesting?"
"Oh Gary, they're the best, and Lance said this place makes frozen ones that are excellent"
"Great, I think I'll try one. I wanted something cold and sweet and that sounds like it will hit the spot."
You motioned to the waitress and ordered the drinks just as the song ended. Lance sauntered up to the table with his second drink halfway finished. "Hey, you guys come with me for a minute. There is someone I want you to meet."
You made you way through the club and to the raised area where the DJ was busy at work. As you approached, he immediately recognized Lance, took off his headset and jumped over the railing to greet him.
"Damn, Lance you're looking great! I thought I recognized some familiar faces on that dance floor. I'm glad you could stop by."
"I love it here, so I thought I'd bring the whole gang. I'd like to introduce you to some friends of mine. Danni Adkins and Gary Martin, this is Wiggles, but everyone just calls him DJ Wig."
With a gleam in his eye he took Danni's hand, lifted it to his lips and kissed it gently. Lance rolled his eyes. Wiggles was one smooth operator, but with Danni he had met his match.
"It's my pleasure to meet you, and I must say Lance is a very lucky man."
Danni laughed. "Well, he might be if I wasn't sleeping with Chris every night."
He returned the laugh. "Ok, then I guess Chris is the one with the good taste. Anyway, welcome to Razoos, and I hope you have a good time."
He turned to you and extended his hand. "Let me see if I can do a better job of guessing with you. I'm gonna say you're with Justin."
You shook his hand firmly, trying to hide you obvious shock. "Nice to meet you and what makes you think I'm with Justin?"
He nodded his head towards the dance floor. "He hasn't taken his eyes off of you since you walked over here." You looked over and your eyes immediately met Justin's. He flashed a huge smile and mouthed the words 'I love you'.
"Damn," Wiggles said loudly, "I was hoping it was nothing serious. That boy is hot!"
"Not only is he hot," you concurred, "but he's also taken."
The young DJ chuckled. "The good ones always are." "Listen, I have to get back to work. You guys enjoy yourselves and if there is anything I can do for you just ask. That's what I'm here for."
You and Danni made you way back to the table assuming Lance was behind you. When you slid into the booth you realized Lance was back on the dance floor not wanting to miss out on a moment of the action. You stared at Justin dancing and suddenly a wide grin covers your face that Danni recognized all to well. She leaned over and whispered into you ear.
"Ok, I know that grin of yours. What are you planning?"
You nodded indicating she was right. "Well, Justin was very adamant about us being able to relax and just enjoy ourselves, so I think I'll go dance with my man, who just happens to be the hottest guy on the dance floor."
"Gary," she reminded you, "I've seen that look before and I know damn well there is more to it than that."
You gave her a quick wink. "Guess you'll just have to wait and see."
You made you way back to the DJ booth and motioned to Wiggles that you needed to speak to him.
"I have a favor. Seems that there is a guy out there that is pretty special to me and I want to dedicate a song to him. Can you help me out?"
"You bet Gary. What do you have in mind?"
I want to dedicate 'Can I Have this Kiss Forever' by Whitney Houston and Enrique Eglaises to "rabbit" with love.
"Rabbit huh?" Wiggles said in an amused tone. "I can only imagine where that came from, but I'm not asking. I'll have that request for you as soon as this song is finished."
You left the booth and headed for the dance floor. As you approached Justin, you noticed Danni and Chris were dancing directly behind him. When Danni saw you, she knew immediately you had started to put your plan into action. She leaned forward whispering in Chris' ear.
"Gary is up to something. Keep your eyes on Justin." Chris nodded in agreement and slowly maneuvered he and Danni closer to Justin, not wanting to miss out.
The music died down, and Justin noticed you approaching him just as Wiggles spoke.
"Welcome to Razoo's!" he said loudly. "For those of you who don't know me, my name is DJ Wig and I'm here to make sure you guys dance your asses off tonight. Before I start another hour of non-stop music, I need to take care of some business. It seems at though there is someone very special visiting our club tonight. Special enough to deserve a dedication that I am gonna fulfill right now. Rabbit, you know who you are, and this is for you. Could I Have This Kiss Forever, with love from your man.
Justin's face lit up and you saw what you had been hoping for. You saw that special spark in his eye that dulled when he had taken on more than he could handle. The pressure was gone and the spark had returned in full force. Although you didn't notice, Danni and Chris has seen it too, and Danni knew from the smile on your face that your plan had worked out just as you had intended.
You looked directly into Justin's crystal blue eyes and began to sing with the song. "Over and over and over and over...." And as you sang, you began to move with the beat of the music, inching closer and closer to you waiting lover.
Over and Over I look in your eyes You are all I desire You have captured me I want to hold you I want to be close to you I never want to let you go
As those words were being said, you took Justin's hands and begin to dance with him, both of you moving to the beat. All the while, you were singing softly to him as the two of you danced. You never missed a beat or a word, making it seem as though it was a well- rehearsed production, instead of an impromptu moment. But that's how it always was you and Justin. When you were together, your minds worked as one. You pulled Justin even closer to you and continued.
I wish this night would never end, I need to know Could I hold you for a lifetime Could I look into your eyes Could I have this night To share this night together Could I hold you close beside me Could I hold you for all time Could I, could I have this kiss forever Could I, could I have this kiss forever, forever.
The two of you were oblivious to anything but each other and you continued to grind to the beat of the song, feeling emotions that stress had taken from you both over the past few weeks.
Over and over I've dreamed of this night Now you are here by my side, you are next to me I want to hold you and touch you and taste you
As you finished that last line you kissed Justin quickly but passionately, so you could continue the song while letting him know the desire that burned deep inside you.
And make you want no one but me I wish that this kiss would never end Oh baby, please
The chorus repeated one more time and lead into the final part of the song. You stared into his eyes and once again appreciated the spark that had been extinguished when the tour had started. As you felt your heart race, you convinced yourself that never again would you let an outside force effect him in that way.
I don't want any night to go by without you by my side I just want all of my days spent being next to you Lived for just loving you And baby, by the way
Could I hold you for a lifetime Could I look into your eyes Could I have this night To share this night together Could I hold you close beside me Could I hold you for all time Could I, could I have this kiss forever Could I, could I have this kiss forever, forever
As the last line is being sung, your dancing slowed to a stop and Justin wrapped his trembling arms around your waist. Your eyes were locked, and for that special moment the world around you was nowhere to be seen. You kissed with a fire and passion realizing with out words just how much this moment meant to both of you.
With the sounds of loud clapping and intermittent whistles, reality came crashing in. You were not alone. Somewhat startled, you both looked around only to find that you were now the only two on the dance floor. It was obvious that the special moment you and Justin had shared had touched others as well, not only your friends, but people whom you had never met.
"Shit, I don't know if I can top that, but I'm gonna give it my best shot," Wiggles said laughing as you and Justin walked hand and hand from the dance floor. You and Justin never heard him. You were in your own world oblivious to those around you.
"Gary, I know I've been an ass lately, but I really do love you," Justin said apologetically. "There has just been so much going on. I haven't given our relationship the time it deserves, and I'm sorry."
You slid into the booth next to him and he immediately rested his head on your shoulder.
"Justin, we both knew this wasn't gonna be easy. We have both put in some long hours. We're tired and we've had plenty of distractions, but if we focus on what it felt like just a few minutes ago on the dance floor, then we'll never have anything to worry about. We'll always be okay.
You leaned over to kiss him and noticed a stranger standing at your table.
"I'm so sorry", he said sincerely "I didn't mean to interrupt you. I just wanted to introduce myself." He extended his hand for you to shake. "My name is Dennis Neil. My boyfriend Eric and I are the owners of Razoos. We just wanted to thank you for stopping by and give you a couple of membership cards. Eric and I own several clubs across the US. This card will get you into any of them. I know most people recognize you, but in case you get to one our clubs and they don't, these cards will get you in."
Justin smiled widely. "Thanks, we've really enjoyed your club. How many do you own?"
"A total of four now, and the fifth opens next month." Dennis explained. "The are all in major cities. There is no real need for a club like ours in a small town. We cater mostly to celebrities, but we have a pretty large gay following too. Eric and I never had a place where we could go and just relax, so when I came into some money and wanted to start a business we came up with Razoos. The one here in New Orleans was our first and is our "baby". Then came Los Angeles, Manhattan and Denver. Orlando opens next month.
Justin's eyes gleamed. "You're opening a club in Orlando? That's awesome!"
"Thanks, Eric and I are really excited about it. Once we get that one open, we're calling it quits for a while. Opening the new locations is so time-consuming and we really just enjoy working at the clubs."
"You guys actually work at your clubs," you asked with a somewhat surprised voice.
"We sure do. That's our favorite part of being the owners and besides we believe that the only way you can ensure that your business is running smoothly is to be there and see it first hand. This is our livelihood, so it's to our benefit to make sure things go smooth.
A well-built young man walked up behind Dennis, wrapped his arms around his waist and kissed him softly on the cheek. You were immediately drawn to his big brown eyes, but couldn't help noticing the ripples on his stomach that showed though the thin white beater that was attempting to cover him.
"Sorry, to barge in, but Danny really needs a break. Can you help me out at the bar until he gets back?"
Dennis smiled at the young man. "In case you guys haven't figured it out, this is Eric. He's my business partner," and then winking at Eric "well, among other things, and the one who pays attention to details. Thank God, cuz I'm awful at it."
Eric grabbed Dennis' arm and pulled him towards the bar. "Hey guys, Dennis and I would love to stay and chat but Danny's been working his ass off."
Dennis rolled his eyes. "Danny wants to get his ass on the dance floor. He's not tired."
For the first time, you and Justin noticed the young man behind the bar.
"Oh my god!" Justin laughed. "It's that Danny!
Danny's smile was unmistakable and Dennis had been right. Within seconds of going on his break, Danny made his way to the dance floor.
JC had noticed the young bartender as soon as he entered the club. Being in the business, the fact that Danny was somewhat of a celebrity due to his stint on Real World, had no effect on him. What did have and effect was the captivating smile. He had fallen in love with a similar smile several years ago. Seeing Justin head over heels in love with you convinced JC that he was right in never expressing those feelings.
Over the years, JC has dated casually, but no woman had ever really held his interest or evoked the same emotions that he had felt for his young friend. He had replaced dating with music and had put romance on the back burner.
He was lost in his thoughts and hadn't noticed Danny approaching him. With the music blaring JC could only read his lips as he spoke.
"Would you like to dance?"
Another place or time, and JC would have declined immediately, but the club had put him at ease, as well as the three Corona's he had downed since he had arrived. JC joined Danny on the dance floor and actually found himself having a good time. He was somewhat disappointed when Wiggles announced he was taking a quick break.
"Hey, I've got to get back to work," Danny said in a disappointed tone. "and I know how bad this probably sounds, but can I buy you a drink?"
JC laughed. "Well, lets just say that's not the first time I've heard that line, but its sounds good. Mind if I sit at the bar?"
Danny's eyes lit up. "Not at all, I'd love to have some company. I hardly ever have anyone to talk to. When people come to this bar, they usually are on the dance floor."
JC nodded in agreement as he found himself a barstool and grabbed a napkin to wipe the sweat off of his face. It felt good to be taking a break and even better to have a chance to get to know Danny a bit better.
"Gary?" Justin asked softly, "would you mind if we went back to the hotel?"
"Not at all, but I thought you were ready for a night on the town. You were so excited about spending the night on the dance floor."
"I thought so too, but what I really want to do is spend the night making love to you."
Your heart melted. The past few weeks had been the hardest since the two of you had been together. The guys had learned choreography for six songs in a little over two weeks, and Wade as fanatical about details. On several days he had them put in over 16 hours of rehearsal time and Justin had a hard time adjusting. Where Darren had always let Justin have some leeway with his dance moves, Wade rode him constantly. Although Justin would never admit it, part of the problem was Wade's age. He was only 17 and Justin was unaccustomed to having to take orders from someone so young, especially when it came to his dancing. By the time Justin's rehearsals were over and you were done with the hours of decisions and planning, there had been little time for anything more than a shower and sleep.
Within minutes, Lonnie had pulled the Explorer around to the front of the club and after saying some quick good-byes you and Justin headed back to the hotel.
As Lonnie made his way through the French Quarter's crowded streets, Justin ran his hand along your thigh as a huge grin encompassed his face.
"So, we've never done it in a car before. How about it?"
Lonnie voice boomed from the front seat. "How about you keep those 19 year old hormones in control until your ass gets back at the hotel? I swear, you guys are gonna send me to an early grave."
"Relax, Lonnie, I was just kidding" Justin assured him, "and who's got you so uptight tonight?"
"Who the hell do you think? I never have any trouble with 3 of you, and Danni pretty much keeps Chris in line, but damn that Joey is a pain in the ass! My job is supposed to be security, not fucking child care."
You and Justin tried your hardest to refrain from laughing. Lonnie was really hot, but you knew by the morning he and Joey would work things out. They always did.
The door to your hotel room had barely closed when Justin pulled you close to him and kissed you passionately. You could feel you knees weaken as his tongue entered your mouth and his soft moans only amplified the desire that burned deep in your soul. After nine months with him, the touch of his lips on yours still invoked the electrical charge that you felt the first time you kissed.
With his lips never leaving yours, Justin unbuttoned both of your shirts, allowing your bare chests to touch as both of you were becoming more and more lost in the emotions of the moment. You ran your hand along the inside of Justin's thigh until you were caressing the bulge straining behind the fabric of his pants and you could feel his chest pounding as you held him close. You gently laid him back on the bed and helped him as he struggled to remove what was left of his clothing. You spent several minutes tenderly kissing his neck as your hand traced the outline of the muscles on his chest and abdomen. You could feel the heat of his breath as he whispered.
"Damn, I love you. Tell me it will always be this way Gary, that you'll always want to make love to me."
"It will be Justin, I promise."
You entered him amid his moans as your hand gently stroked him. You closed your eyes and let your body move in rhythm with his. Your bodies moved faster and faster and you could barely hear Justin call your name. You open your eyes and could see him mouth "I love you" has his body surrendered to an intense orgasm. Immediately, his body tightened around you and you could hold back no longer. For what seemed like minutes you and Justin enjoyed the shock waves surging through your bodies. Finally, you collapsed into each other's arms, breathless. While Justin had always been an enthusiastic lover, tonight he was insatiable, and it was not until the sun began to sneak in from behind the hotel curtains did either of you realize you had been making love for over 4 hours. Drained both physically and emotionally, you kissed each other tenderly one last time and let your bodies finally rest.
