Justin had tears again in his eyes.He knew how much Michael's body excited him. "My soul was barren for so long Justin.My insecurities so deeply entrenched inside me.Tonight you showed me a rose to represent the flower of my love growing inside you." Michael put the large group of flowers into Justin's hands. He looked deep into his blue eyes. "I have a forest of flowers growing inside me, Jus." Justin started crying, Michael's words moving him so much. He put his arms around Justin who was still holding the roses. "Your love makes me feel alive, Justin.Its the essence of my soul.Thats why I want to live with you, to keep that feeling alive inside me. I don't ever want to hear you degrade yourself Justin.You are not a cry baby, a child or stupid.Do you hear me.You,the love of my life, are a man. A strong,beautiful,caring and loving man.And I just can't believe that your mine." Michael kissed him deeply. Justin's tears were shining in his eyes.Michael was proud of him.Michael loved him for himself.Not for the flashy superstar.But for this bashful,insecure, lonely guy. They kissed tenderly, all the roses falling onto the carpet,nothing now seperating them. Michael had been right.Justin did love his body. And he showed him how much all through the night. They made love to each other,deeply,slowly and passionately. Finally falling asleep in each other's arms. Justin was the last one to fall asleep.He fell asleep looking at his angel's face. Tomorrow would be an emotional day for Michael. Justin would be strong for him, he would be the man Michael wanted him to be.
Chapter 30
Michael sat up in bed, looking out through the frosted windows at the morning light. He looked down at his lover, sound asleep beside him, gazing at his sleeping form. Justin was nude, his naked chest in full view.His chest rose and sank with every breath he took. Michael so loved this man, this beautiful man. He'd been awake for a while, looking at him.Etching every inch of him into his memory. He dreaded the next week, the lonely days and even lonelier nights. In less than a week he'd fallen deeply in love with this young man.Totally and completely in love. And now he was leaving him. Michael knew it was for only a week, but that didn't help. He'd made a promise to Justin last night, a promise to go with him when they met again in New York. To spent the rest of his life with him. Michael was prepared to change his whole life, if just for the chance to be loved by this man. He looked down at him again. What made this man so special. Michael knew it was a combination of small things, and large ones. His smile, his voice, his eyes, his body. All the superficial things. And so much more. His kind heart, his deep love, his laughing soul.It all made up the package known as Justin Timberlake. Michael had even seen some of Justin's own insecurities come out last night. His fear of being alone, his fear of not being loved. Michael would do his best to make those fears dissappear forever. Michael had his own insecurities, deeply anchored in his soul. What had happened with Josh drove some of them into the open.His fear of losing Justin to someone else.His fear of being left behind.His fear of not being good enough to keep him. Michael had realized last night Justin's desire for him. When the scars had dissappeared Michael took a long hard look at himself. He'd known that some people were attracted to him, but to see Justin's desire for him, filled his heart with happiness. He felt beautiful. He'd never felt that before. Justin made him feel beautiful and attractive. He'd watched Justin staring at him last night when he'd undressed. He'd seen the way he stared at him.Justin was completely in lust with him. He'd also started watching the way Justin looked at other guys.That in itself had surprised him. At the party last night, several good looking male friends of Michael's had chatted with Justin.Justin had smiled and talked to them, but his eyes were always somewhere else.They were glued to Michael. Justin didn't gaze at other men, he only gazed at him. That made Michael feel alive.Justin only had eyes for him. He saw Justin for what he was, an unbelieveably gorgeous man, breathtaking when you met him in person. He knew that other people were staring at his lover,that his beauty was too hard not to ignore. But Michael's trust in Justin was unconditional. He knew that Justin loved him, that he only wanted him. Michael lay back down beside his lover, laying his head on his smooth chest. "How long have you been awake,my love?" Justin said, opening his eyes, feeling Michael's contact with him again. Justin had woken up about twenty minutes ago and realized that Michael was sitting up watching him. He's lain quietly, letting Michael have some time alone with his thoughts. He knew that Michael would return to his arms, his trust in that was real. "About two hours,Jus." "Babe, you must be exhausted." "I'm alright. I just couldn't stay asleep knowing you were beside me.I wanted to look at you and just be with you." Justin smiled knowing Michael was already starting to miss him, even though he was still here. "Can't get enough of me,eh? I though I satisfied you last night." Michael raised his head, smiling at those memories. "Yes,sweetie.You satisfied me beyond my wildest dreams.Last night was unbelieveable." Justin smiled, thinking the same thing.Michael had made love to him twice, both times having the same affect on him. It had been bliss. And Justin had made love to Michael again, feeling himself inside him, feeling that explosion of passion again. It had been heaven for both of them. "I'm glad,Michael.I was afraid I wasn't passionate enough, seeing as this is all new to me." Michael lifted his head. "Its all new to me too, Jus.We've both learned together, and I think we've both enjoyed it,right?" Justin's face lit up with an intoxicating smile. "You got that right,babe." Justin kissed him on the lips. Michael hugged him to him again,laying his head back down. After a few moments of silence, Michael spoke again. "What time is your flight leaving,Justin?" "Four o'clock,Michael.That gives us all morning together.Lets stay in bed against each other all morning." Michael laughed, beginning to tickle Justin, his laugh starting to fill the room. Michael pinned him down, laying on top of him. "And have Nana and Vicky on my ass.No thanks.We have to meet everyone for breakfast, remember? We promised last night?" Justin frowned, remembering. "We could call in sick or something, Mikey. I want to spend all my remaining time with you." Michael smiled, knowing Justin wanted to stay alone with him all morning, that he didn't want to share him. But that wasn't Michael's way and Justin knew that. When Michael promised something,he always delivered. Michael looked into his eyes, smiling at him. "I know, I know, you always keep your promises.My little reliable angel." Michae looked at him,he'd never heard Justin calling him angel. "You like me calling you that don't you, my angel?" Justin looking at him quietly. "No one has ever called me their angel, Jus.Believe me, I'm no angel." Michael's smile left his face, Justin seeing Michael's face change. Michael got up off the bed and walked to the window. Justin pulled a sheet around himself and was up and walking right behind him. He wrapped his arms around Michael, the sheet covering both of them, looking out into the winter day. "Whats wrong, my angel?" Michael leaned his back against Justin's chest, feeling his warmth. "I'm trying to understand it all, Jus.I have been sitting here for hours trying to figure it out." "Can I help?" Michael smiled, knowing Justin would always want to try. "Why do I deserve all this, Justin? Why do I deserve all this happiness?" Justin frowned a little, realizing that Michael was still feeling insecure. He pulled him around to face him, looking into his golden eyes. "You deserve to be happy because you've earned it, Michael.Its as simple as that." Michael looked into his blue pools of love. "I've struggled all my life, Jus, I've struggled and fought to be myself, to hold on to my own identity.That night when I walked away from that cliff, I made a promise to myself.I promised myself that I would always remain true to myself,and that I would go on fighting.And that I would never give up.I knew that maybe all I would ever have would be a life of pain,and sorrow, but I would go on. And I have,Justin. I've never given up.I've always been true to myself inside." Justin smiled, marvelling at the courage in Michael's convictions. "I guess what I'm trying to tell you, Jus, is that you may not like the real me.But I need you to know that I can't be anyone else, I have to be myself, Jus.Don't expect me to change for you, I can't." Justin looked at him, seeing the determination in Michael's eyes, and his not wanting to hurt Justin's feelings. "I understand what your feeling ,Michael.And I would never want you to change who you are.I've fallen in love with the real you." "we've only know each other for seven days,Justin.How can you say you know the real me?" "Because I've seen into your heart and your soul, Michael.I've met the good hearted,loving man that resides there.He's become my lover, my soulmate and my dearest friend." Justin kissed him, Michael kissing back. "I'm talking about the superficial me, Jus.I know I"m good inside, I know I have a good heart. But I can be a real bitch sometimes.I have some bad habits. When I can't reason something out I leave.When I'm worried I go to pieces.And you don't want to see me if I'm angry.You wouldn't like me then, its like I'm a different person, and sometimes it scares me,I feel like I don't have control." Justin smiled at him tenderly. "I saw your anger with those two attackers, Michael.I saw your focus,your determination.And it stunned me.Your right, it was like you were someone else.But I looked into your golden eyes and I still saw you there, the man I love.We all have ways we deal with things, Michael.Yes, I haven't seen all of that yet, but I will, because I will be there beside you loving you for who you are." Michael looked into his eyes again,seeing his truth there. "Hell, Michael. I can be the king of bitches sometimes.If I don't get my way, I freak out.That pouty face is just the start.I walk away also, usually when I'm angry.You need space to think, I need space to calm down.I also become silent when I'm hurt." "You,silent? No way." Justin laughed. "Yeah,Mikey.What I'm trying to say is that we all have our weaknesses, our less than glowing qualities.But being in love means finding out all about each other and having to deal with the good things as well as the bad.It's about compromise, and committment, Michael.I can honestly say right now, that I am looking forward to finding out all your special talents and even your less than perfect atributes.I'm eager to know the real crazy you." Michael smiled at Justin,seeing his love shining through. "I just needed you to know that I'm no angel.I'm damn fine, but no angel." Justin laughed and then kissed Michael deeply. "You are damn fine,mister.But to me you are my angel.I'll always believe that." Michael kissed him again, the sheet falling to the floor. Their kisses became more wanton, more eager. Michael pulled back, needing to breath. "Wow, speaking of damn fine." Justin stared at him, his eyes full of lust. Michael only had to look at him for Justin to see the same. Michael pushed him backwards until they were on the bed again. Their bodies against each other. Michael took control, licking and touching Justin everywhere.Justin moaned and bucked under him, Michael tasting his sweet skin. Michael felt an urge come over him, an urge he needed to satisfy. He leaned over grabbing the lube and condoms off the night stand, Justin opening his eyes. Michael started deep throating Justin, his cock enlarging to its full large size. When Justin was at his peak,at the height of his sexual fever, his body writhing under him, Michael rolled the condom down its full length. This wasn't what Justin had expected to happen. Before he could voice his own desire, Michael was kneeling above him, looking down into his blue eyes. "I am yours, my love. I am your's forever." Michael lowered himself down on top of Justin's hard cock.It sank deep inside him, Michael ass slowly coming to rest on Justin's hips. Justin felt his soul weld together with Michael's. They felt as one. Michael pulled Justin's nipples gently, Justin moaning deeply. Then Michael began to raise his body, then sink back down. Justin put his hands on Michael's hips, pushing him up, pulling him down.The rhythm became rushed and ardent,their desires overtaking them. Michael leaned down, kissing Justin deeply and urgently.Their tongues fighting each other as they both exploded deep within themselves. Michael collapsed on top of Justin, clinging to his sweating chest. "Oh god baby, your fantastic." Justin said between deep breaths. Michael kissed him again, a dear lover's kiss. "Lets pop in the shower and get cleaned up.Its almost eight and we promised to be at home by nine.' Justin smiled following Michael into the bathroom. They spent fifteen minutes cleaning and massaging each other, they bodies together, their hearts as one. When they'd cleaned up and gotten dressed it was almost eight thirty. They walked out of the apartment, Lonnie and Josh were waiting at the elevator. "Hi guys.How are you this morning?" Michael chirped up,hugging both of them. "We're doing fine,you two by the way look extremely happy." Lonnie smiled. Both beamed, smiling at one another. "You both look like the cat that swallowed a prized canary." Josh laughed. "Believe me,it wasn't a canary I swallowed." Michael smirked. Justin blushed a deep red. Lonnie and Josh were almost on the floor laughing. "Thanks,Michael." Justin blushed more. Michael beamed."Hey, I'm damn proud of who I was with last night, and damn happy to be with him now." Justin smiled, Michael's love filling his heart. Lonnie regained his composure, following them into the elevator.Josh stepped in beside them. Within fifteen minutes they were walking into the apartment.
Nana hugged them both, seeing their smiling faces making her happy. Vicky walked out of ther bedroom, her hair a mess, looking like she just got up. "Gentlemen, it lives!" Michael screamed. Vicky smacked him on the back of the head. "Don't flirt with me until I have my coffee, pencil dick." She said kissing him lightly on the cheek. Justin and Josh were holding in laughter. "One syllable out of either of you two and you'll really see what kind of monster I can be." She said pointing at them. They both looked away, not meeting her eyes. "Don't you just want to eat her up?" Michael laughed, sending the other two men into a fit of laughter.Lonnie just smiled. Vicky looked at all three, shaking her head and starting to laugh. "Your all pencil dicks." Nana walked out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee for Vicky and two aspirin. "I know you need these, she didn't go to bed till three a.m. Her and Zach sat up drinking together and talking. "Yeah he was pretty wrecked.All he talked about was Christina.He's smitten with her." Michael smiled, his vision entering his mind. "Where is Zach?" "Still asleep in your bed, Michael." Nana smiled."I had to put both of them to bed." Michael looked at Justin who had a devilish grin on his face. "Mikey,I think its time I got close and personal with Zach?" Vicky was grinning now ear to ear. "Payback's a bitch.I still owe him for his little kiss last night." Justin said. Justin whispered in Michael's ear,a large smile on his face. They all followed Justin into his bedroom. Zach was sleeping on his back wearing only boxer briefs and a t-shirt.He had a trim fit body, slim with no hair.Michael always told him he looked like Tom Cruise, only better looking. Everyone stayed at the door, while Justin pulled his tshirt off and removed his pants.He slowly got into the bed, gently so Zach wouldn't feel his presence.Justin laid down against him, draping his arm over his chest and smiling at Michael. Michael smiled a large smile at everyone in the doorway, then screamed. "Zach, what the fuck's going on here!!!!!" Zach jumped up, feeling a weight against him. He opened his eyes to see Michael staring at him. "What the fuck are you doing with my boyfriend, you bastard." Zach turned seeing a naked Justin laying beside him.He jumped away from him as Justin opened his eyes,seeing Michael above them. "Oh,god, Michael.I'm sorry, babe.He tricked me, he got me drunk.It wasn't me, I swear baby." Justin was putting it on pretty thick. pleading to Michael. Michael grabbed Justin pulling him out of the bed,he lightly sucker punched him in the stomach, Justin falling to the floor. "Michael, please.This is all a mistake." Zach was out of the bed,terror written across his face, pleading with his friend to calm down. He saw everyone standing at the door. "You slept with my boyfriend.How could you." "I didn't, Michael.I don't remember anything about last night.I'm sorry." Zach was frantic. "I only have one thing to say to you, asshole." Zach looked at his friend fearing Michael's wrath. "Got ya!" Michael was on the floor beside Justin,both of them laughing their heads off. Vicky joined them in laughter as well as Josh and Lonnie. Zach just stood there with a look of disbelief on his face. Nana took his picture.She'd been taking pictures with Vicky's camera for about two minutes. "Thats a keeper." She said laughing. Zach stared at them all. "You bastards.You almost gave me a heart attack." Justin jumped up, hugging Zach to him. "Its okay, Zacky.I knew I was probably too much for you last night." Michael though he'd piss himself,he couldn't stop laughing. Zach threw Justin on top of the bed,tickling him and then pinning him.Justin leaned up and whispered in his ear. Michael got up, looking at them, smiling. Michael stopped suddenly. He saw Justin stare into Zach's eyes.And then they kissed.A deep passionate kiss.Wrapping their arms around each other. Michael just stood there. All the life went out of his eyes. Josh saw it right away.He knew Justin's joke had gone too far. Zach and Justin broke their kiss,laughing and turning to stick their tongues out at Michael, freezing when they saw his face. Justin's heart stopped. Michael's face looked in deep shock,a look of deep hurt on it. "Mico?" "Nooooo." Michael gasped. Michael turned, storming out of the room. Justin was on his feet in a moment chasing him. He reached him at the front doorway.Justin stood there pleading with him in only his boxer shorts. "I'm sorry baby,I'm so sorry.It was only a joke, please believe me.You have to forgive me." Michael didn't say anything.His head was down, his hands balled into fists. Zach had come running after them.He stopped beside them seeing Michael's ready fists. "Oh god, Mikey, please.It was all a horrible joke.We were just fooling with ya.Trying to get you back.Justin loves only you.You have to believe us." Everyone else had walked out now, concern on all their faces, knowing that this had gone badly wrong.Josh couldn't believe how this had quickly changed into Michael's being hurt. "Babe? Talk to me, please, my love." Justin had tears in his eyes, knowing he'd gone too far with the joke. Michael slowly raised his head. There was no expression on his face. Everyone thought Michael looked destroyed. "You can do so much better, Jus." The smile that broke on his face was priceless. EVeryone stared at Michael, their mouths hanging open. "Don't fuck with the master.I am the king!" Michael raised his arms in the air. Michael started laughing, Justin and Zach stood in total awe. Everyone soon joined in the laughter, seeing Michael's perfect setup.They all bowed to him. Justin looked at Zach. "Lets get him." They tackled him right there at the door.Everyone joining in, tickling him until he was gasping. They quickly broke it up, Justin helping Michael up. "You really gave me a scare, babe." Michael looked at him, with a small smile on his beautiful face. "That was a lesson for you, Jus.Don't use our love as a joke.Understand?" Justin understood,he could see that Michael was being serious.That this was Michael's way of showing him. Josh smiled at Michael's subtleness with Justin. "I trust you with everyone, Jus.I know that I am your only love." Justin smiled, kissing him. Zach smiled knowing that Michael had findly found someone he trusted. Justin and Zach returned to the bedroom to get dressed. Nana directed them all into the kitchen where a large feast stood waiting. They all dug into breakfast, eating heartily. "So, Zach. Vicky tells me your smitten, and its not with my Jus." Michael smirked. Justin blushed. He suddenly remembered Michael's earlier vision.A large smile came to his face. Michael looked at him,winking. Zach and Christina's vision. Justin realized love always finds a way. "Vicky, didn't I tell you that in confidence." It was Vicky's turn to blush. "Its okay,Zacky.Vicky tells me everything.And I won't tell Christina about you waking up in bed spooning with Justin Timberlake." Zach started choking on the piece of toast in his mouth. Everyone laughed. "Thanks,Michaelangelo." Michael winked at his friend. "We'll talk later about Christina,Zach." Zach smiled at him, acting shy. Michael loved his friend dearly, and he thought he wanted him to be happy.He also liked Christina, knowing she needed someone special in her life also. They had a relaxing breakfast, the conversation light and hearty.Everyone was trying their best to keep Michael happy, although he knew what they were up to. He loved his friends for that. After breakfast they all converged on the living room, engaging in light hearted talk. "So, how long can you stay in Chicago, Zach?" Justin asked, knowing Michael would like to know. "I'm here till sunday." Michael smiled. "So another volunteer to help move Christina." Justin smiled. Zach beamed. "She's moving?" Justin smiled, filling Zach in on everything.When Justin had finished Zach hugged Michael. "Your beyond amazing, Michael.To do that for someone you'd just met, wow." Michael smiled shyly as always when being praised. "She's a friend now, a good friend.I always help my friends." Justin smiled, knowing Michael was going to do more than help his friends, he was going to push them into falling in love. Justin wished he could be here to see Michael at his finest.He was sure his boyfriend could be quite creative when it came to helping people, he'd already seen some of his handywork. They sat around for a while, chatting and laughing. Justin caught Michael yawning twice, knowing that he hadn't slept much last night. "Want to take a nap, Mikey?" "No, Justin.Your only here for a few more hours, I'm not going to waste them sleeping." Michael smiled at him, Justin seeing the tiredness in his eyes. "Okay, how about we bundle up and go for a nice walk?That would energize me.There's a park not far from here." Michael said. Justin smiled, liking the idea of the two of them being alone. "Sounds like fun.Let's go." Justin jumping up, pulling Michael up with him. They excused themselves, putting on their coats. Everyone understood their need to be alone, everyone knowing that their time was running short. Justin and Michael walked outside together, heading in the direction of the park.After fifteen minutes of walking they had settled down on the bench that Michael had sat on a few days ago when he's fled the hotel. The day was bright but crisp, the ground covered in snow. Michael told Justin about the last time he'd been here.About meeting Fred and Betty.About their words to him. Justin sat listening to him, seeing how those words had affected him. "It made me realize that I wanted that, Jus.I wanted sixty years with someone.I wanted them with you." Justin teared up, hearing and loving Michael's words. "I want the same, Mico." Michael smiled.He looked around then gently kissed Justin. After they'd sat there for a while, just being with each other, Justin started shaking. "Don't know about you, Mikey, but its damn cold out here." "Whats the matter, Timberlake.Can't take a little cold weather." Michael smirked at him. "Lets see how much you can take,Tavarro." Justin grabbed Michael, lifting him up and depositing him in a snow bank. "You bastard." Michael said getting up. He promptly tackled Justin, throwing him down.He grabbed a handful of snow putting it down the back of his jacket. "Oooh, Michael.Thats cold." Michael got up laughing. "Is that any way to treat your sweetheart?" A voice said. Michael turned around seeing Fred and Betty standing a few feet away smiling. "Fred,Betty.Its so wonderful to see you two again." Michael said happily, walking over and hugging both of them. They both smiled at Michael. "This is my friend, Justin.We were just out walking around having fun." "Is that what they call it now, fun?" Betty smiled. Michael blushed. Justin turned his head a little hoping he'd been discrete. "It's okay, son. Love is a private thing.We didn't mean to be watching." Fred smiled. "Thats okay, Fred. so, Betty, how are you?" Michael asked,real concern in his voice. "I'm wonderful, Michael.Since the last time I saw you, I have been feeling really well.It was you wasn't it?" Michael looked at Justin quietly. "We saw the paper, Michael.Your quite a remarkable man.But then Betty said that the day we left you.She said she thought you were an angel, sent down to ease her pain." Fred held his wife, both men seeing his love for her. Betty smiled at the two young men. "Thank you, Michael." Fred said, a tear in his eye. Michael shyly looked down, not wanting to talk about this. "I can see the new love in both of you.I'm happy you took our advise, Michael." Betty said. Michael smiled at her, then looked at Justin. "It's that obvious, is it?" "To people who've been in love as long as we have, yes." Fred smiled. "I love him very much, I'm looking forward to the next sixty years." Justin said, not ashamed to say it. Fred and Betty both smiled. "Then all we can do is wish you good luck, happiness, and may your days be filled with each other's love." Betty said, hugging both of them now. "Take care, Betty." Michael smiled tenderly at her. "I will, precious angel." Fred and Betty both smiled and started walking away. "Wait.Could you please give me you telephone number, I want to keep in touch." Michael said. They exchanged numbers, followed by hugs again. Justin and Michael watched the two lovers walk away, hand in hand. "You healed her, didn't you Michael?" Justin asked,looking at him. Michael shyly blushed. "When she hugged me goodbye the last time, I felt the cancer in her, how it was destroying her body.She'd been so kind and caring, I wanted to ease her pain, so I did what I could." Justin put his hand on Michael's shoulder. "Its all gone now, Justin.I felt none of it inside her when she hugged me goodbye.I guess I did more good than I thought." "You are an angel.I love you, Mico." Michael looked into Justin's deep blue eyes. "I love you more, Timby." Justin smiled, liking that new name. "My new love name.Does this mean were going to do the nasty here." Michael started laughing. "Your such a horn dog.I'm not baring my ass out in this snow." Justin laughed. "You will just have to come back to me, to get some more of my hot stuff." Michael said, suddenly realizing he'd miss Justin making love to him. "Damn right, I can't survive without your body, or without you." Justin said, knowing what Michael was thinking. He'd miss the love making just as much as Michael. "Looks like our hands are going to have lots of action." Justin laughed,slapping Michael on the ass. "Who's the horn dog?" They were both laughing as they walked back to the apartment. Everyone greeted them when they walked back into the apartment,arms full of bags, having stopped to pick up food for lunch. They had brought Chinese food back with them, everyone sitting around the table diving into the warm food. Before anyone knew it, it was almost one o'clock. Justin and Michael had been giving each other looks over lunch.No one said anything, knowing their time was winding down.Justin in particular had gotten very quiet. Justin got up suddenly, not looking at anyone, excusing himself. He walked down into Michael's bedroom, closing the door. Michael sat thinking at the table, knowing what was coming.Their goodbye's. It had been agreed that he wouldn't go to the airport, it was too public for a heated goodbye. But Michael knew in his heart he had to now.Justin needed to see him until the final moment.He needed to see him strong. "Excuse me guys, I need to talk to Jus." "Sure thing Mikey." Zach said, feeling for his friends. Michael walked down to the bedroom, opening the door quietly. Justin was laying on the bed, his back to Michael. "You okay, sweetie?" Justin turned, Michael seeing his red moist eyes. Michael was on the bed in a heartbeat, taking him in his arms. "I don't want to leave, Mico.I want to stay here with you.Please let me stay." "You can stay here forever, my darling.I'd love that.But you know the real world doesn't work like that.We both have careers, we both knew that from the beginning.I know you have work to do, as do I.But in a week we will be together again.I'll call you every day, twice if you'll let me.I don't think I could survive a day without hearing your sweet voice.I know Vicky's going to kill me for playing your cd all week just so I can hear your voice." Justin laughed, hugging Michael to him. "I'm sorry, Mico.I was suppose to be strong,not get upset like this." Michael kissed him on the cheek. "I'd be more upset if you didn't do this Jus.This means you love me, that you'll miss me." "Of course I'll miss you, your my everything." Michael started crying now, Justin relieved that he felt the same way. "I will call you, my love.Every day,I promise." Michael kissed him deeply. "Michael.can I ask you something?" "Yes,Jus." "Do you think we will feel our connection, even though we're so far away from each other.I don't want to lose the feeling of you inside me. I want to know when your hurting, or lonely, so I can call you and tell you how much I love you." Michael loved this man so much.He needed him so much. "I believe we'll always have this connection, Jus.We have been touched by true love.Its not something that would fade regardless of distance or time." Justin hugged him close, the two needing to say no more about it. "I'm going to the airport, Jus.I need to see you leave.If I can face that, then I know I can wait for you." Justin smiled, knowing Michael wanted to do this more for him than himself. "Okay, Michael, if you want that, then its fine." They kissed again, and just lay quietly holding each other. After a long time, Zach knocked gently on the door. "Its after two, you lovebirds.You need to head to the airport, Justin." They got up and headed out of the room.Halfway down the hall Michael said he forgot something and walked back into the bedroom. Once he's dissappeared, Justin walked into the living room grabbing his coat.He felt in his pocket and what he was seeking was still there. He smiled. Michael came back in grabbing his own coat. Zach looked at him strange. "I thought you were staying here?" "No, Zach, I'm going too.I have to see him leave.If I can do that I can survive this week." Justin smiled at him, helping him put his jacket on. No one saw him slip something into the inside pocket. Lonnie,Nana and Vicky drove in the SUV. Josh and Zach went with Justin and Michael in his car. When they got to the airport, they checked everything in, Lonnie returning the SUV and rechecking everything.They had about thirty minutes to spare before pre-boarding was called. "So, I guess this is it?" Justin said, sitting beside Michael. "Yup.End of the line.The old heave ho.Sayanara baby. Arriverdici." Michael looked at Justin smirking. Justin felt his strength, he was being strong for him. "The only thing I won't miss is your twisted humor, Tavarro." Lonnie said, his own emotions in check. "Yeah, right. You love me for that most of all, Afro Sally." Michael beamed. That got Lonnie laughing. "Got that right,Michael." Lonnie hugged him. Josh hugged Michael close. They realized that their friendship was in full bloom. "Gonna miss ya, Mikey." "You look out for my man, Joshy." Josh smiled, knowing that Michael trusted him completely. "I'll be his best friend,Mikey." Michael smiled,kissing him on the cheek. Josh blushed. "Watch out for him, Josh.He's closer than you think." Josh knew Michael was talking about his soulmate. "I.. I will." Vicky and Nana hugged all three men, Vicky practically bawling. "Oh great, the missus's has done gone to pieces,by gosh." Michael said, in a twangy accent. Vicky smacked him on the back of the head. "You know, its a wonder I don't have a bald spot there, what with all the slapping you've done." That got everyone laughing, including Vicky. Michael's ability to relieve tension in a room was something close to miraculous. Everyone's laughter fading, as they saw what was happening in front of them. There was absolute silence. Justin and Michael had made eye contact. Once in every lifetime there comes a moment with love shines upon this earth, and god gives us beauty. These two men were beauty and love united. They stared into each other's eyes, saying their love and their goodbyes through their feelings. "I love you, Mico." "I love you more, Jus." They hugged tightly. Everyone crowded around them, giving them the privacy they needed for a final kiss goodbye. It was only for a moment but it connnected their souls. They broke apart, everyone seeing the smiles on their faces.There were no tears, they wouldn't do that to each other. They knew this wasn't the end, this was just the beginning. In a few days they would embark on an adventure, and adventure of love,hope and happiness. Michael stood still, watching Justin head for the doorway. "I'll call you as soon as I can,Mico." Justin shouted just before he and Josh walked through the door. Michael waved, feeling alone. Zach had his arm around him, holding him. Vicky and Nana stood by him. "It's okay, lets go home." Michael said quietly. They all walked out, Zach taking the keys from Michael. "You relax, Michael.Your tired,let me drive." Michael got in the car's passenger seat, Vicky and Nana getting in the back. They drove home, nothing being said. There was silence until they heard a ringing. "That your phone, Zach?" "No, Michael.Where's that ringing coming from." Michael heard it coming from his own jacket. He opened his coat, feeling around, and pulled out a small silver cell phone from his inside pocket. He answered it. "Hello?" "Missed ya!" "Justin?" "Now who else would miss ya, sexy?" "Whats going on?" "This is your new phone, Mico.It how I can get hold of you at a moments notice, when I need to tell you I love you." Michael started tearing up. "I love ya, Mico." He was openly crying now. "I'm sorry, babe. I tried to be strong." Zach put his hand on Michael's shoulder. "I know, Mico. I could feel your emotions as soon as I got seated on the plane.Thats why I've called you.I know your hurting but always remember: talk to me.Just call me when your blue, or lonely.I would expect no less from you, an expect no less from me." "I will,my Jus." Justin smiled, Josh sitting beside him, seeing Justin's moist eyes. "I love you,Jus." "Goodnight,my love. Will call you when I get home." "Goodnight,Jus.And, Jus?" "Yes, Mikey?" "Don't forget to check your own pockets.Love ya.Talk to you soon." Michael disconnected, wiping his eyes.He looked at the phone. "Well, I guess Justin Timberlake has brought me into the twenty first century." Everyone laughed,Nana rubbing Michael's shoulder. Justin put his phone back in his pocket, then began searching his other pockets.He felt something inside his front inside pocket and pulled out an envelope. It was addressed simply:
Timby
Justin, tearing up, smiled. He opened it revealing a written letter.He unfolded it and began to read, Josh and Lonnie looking at him smiling.
My dear Jus.
I'm writing this letter in the darkness of night, you laying here beside me sleeping after our final night of passion. I'm watching my own precious angel sleep. I couldn't put into words how your love has overwhelmed me.So I've decided to write them down, forgive the writer in me. This has been the most unbelieveable week of my life. And I know also that it"s only the beginning. The erotic way you made love to me tonight shocked me.There was so much passion, so much desire. And so much love and tenderness. I'd cry more but I have no more tears to shed. Your love has entered my soul,Jus.Its almost terrifying me. Not because I've never felt love like this before, and I haven't, but because I'm terrified of ever losing it. I need you, my Jus.I need your love so much. I don't know how I've survived the last twenty five years without it. You are my destiny,my life. Let us shed no more tears,Justin. The future is our's my love.And every day will be like a dream,because we will have our love to make us live life. I love you,Jus. Today, tomorrow and always. Return to me. I await with love and hope.
Your Mico.
Justin was shedding many tears by the end of the letter,Josh hugging him gently. Josh didn't need to read the letter to know what Michael had written, he could see it in his best friend's eyes. Michael loved him.And Michael would be waiting for him. Justin looked out at the passing clouds. Ten days. Ten days until the love of his life was in his arms again. He thought they would be the hardest days of his life.
End of Chapter 30
And so the lovers have parted. Soon they will be together, maybe sooner than either realize. Glad everyone liked my changing Josh back to a sweetheart. Who will be his soulmate? I've had a few suggestions, but I've already decided that myself. Please keep reading, so much more to come including the Nsync boys. Still would love to hear from everyone .
Take care friends, Angel.
