Last time on Love Interest Chapter 5 -
"Sure." JC smiled, hoping to relax Justin, he followed Justin up, and the went into his room. JC laid down on his bed, inviting Justin to lay down with him. Justin did it quickly, laying down, and resting his head on JC's chest. JC put his fingers in Justin's hair, and began to uncurl and curl again Justin's golden locks.
"Um, I wanted to talk to you about us. I'm really, really happy that we are dating Josh. But, I know how far you've gone, and I'm not ready for all of that. So, if you want more of me then I can give, then I guess I would understand it, if you want to, or I mean like to, dump me." Justin shut his eyes from fear that JC would say yes. At the same time JC continued to lovingly play with Justin's hair.
"Baby, I could wait forever before you and I did anything but hold hands. I would be with you no matter what, and now that I have you, you aren't going to get away from me. I don't expect anything from you except one thing, and that's your love, because you have mine, you always have."
"I love you Josh." Justin didn't have anything else to say. So he said the only thing he really had on his mind.
"I love you too baby, now why don't you take a nap?" JC suggested, as he stopped playing with Justin's curls, and pulled the younger man up and close to him. He wrapped his arms around Justin's chest, and let Justin nestle into his body for comfort.
"You make a great pillow." Justin mumbled before dazing into the dream world. JC smiled and laughed, he knew he would get to sleep long, but he was content with watching Justin sleep, watching his eternal love breath in and out.
"So, when do you guys wanna go to the club?"
"I wanna go around 9, that gives us like an hour there before it gets exciting." Joey answered Lance's question with a mouthful of steak. Lance gave him a disgusted look, but he didn't even notice and continued to eat.
"Sure, but what time do you guys wanna come back?" Lance asked.
"I wanna stay out until like 4." Joey replied, still chewing his food.
"No way, I'm heading home by 2." JC whined.
"I don't even wanna stay out that late." Justin answered, frowning. He wasn't in the mood to go out clubbing. He was in the mood to stay in, and relax with JC. "I don't feel very good. Maybe I shouldn't go." Justin suggested, as he looked around the table. It wasn't much of a lie, he wasn't sick, but he was feeling bad, becuase he couldn't stay with JC by himself.
"You aren't going tonight then." JC said exactly what Justin was hoping he would say.
"Especially with the tour coming up Justin, you two stay home and get some rest." Lance added, and everyone nodded. Justin kept his frown on, to make it look like he was upset about not being able to go. Really he wanted to smile at the chance of getting to stay home with JC.
"Fine!" He let out a whine to convince them that he was 'upset'. Lance and JC both gave him stares that need not speak words. Justin got the hint, but it was what he was waiting for, and he acted like his usual disappointed self, and moped for the rest of the meal.
"Let's watch a movie. We can order one off pay per view." Justin begged.
"Come on Justin. You are sick, and it's already 10:30, you should be in bed." Josh complained, as they sat in the living room both on the couch. Josh sitting straight up, Justin laying under a cover, his head resting on JC's lap.
"I don't wanna." Justin whined, hoping to get his way. JC didn't look like he was going to back down though. Justin knew it was his fault though, JC never gave down when it was for Justin's best interests.
"Justin, please, I don't want to fight with you over this. You are sick, and you need to get your rest. We have a tour in two days, and if you get sick for it we are going to be screwed. Now come on, we are going to bed." Justin didn't complain now, he knew he would have to play along, but knowing it would be spending time close to JC he was fine with it. Slowly they made there way up the steps, and were soon in bed. JC shirtless and in pajama pants, Justin in a wife beater and his boxers. JC had his arms draped over the younger man, while Justin had his head resting on JC's shoulder. With a peck on the forehead, Justin closed his eyes, and fell into sleep comfortably attached to JC.
JC stayed up a good fifteen minutes, making sure Justin was sleeping peaceful, before he let sleep over take him. Smiling, he settled in for the night, both of them sleeping comfortably together.
"Think Justin is okay?" Brittney asked, as she danced close to Lance during 'Shape of My Heart' by the Backstreet Boys.
"Sure, but maybe we should have stayed home too. I mean, he might still be mad that we are out having fun while he has to sit at home."
"I don't think he will be too mad. He gets to spend some time with JC, and I don't think that will keep him upset for too long." Brittney smiled, and Lance chuckled. For once everyone he knew was happy. Justin had JC, he had Brittney, and Chris had Dani. But at the same time, he smiled seeing Joey and Christina dancing on the floor, sure it was only as friends, but Lance was happy to see that they were dancing. Maybe just maybe sparks would fly.
Meanwhile on the other side of the club, Chris and Dani were dancing to the same song, both quietly staring at each other. Chris smiled, and Dani returned it. "So, what do you want to do tomorrow?" She asked, but the tone of her voice knew she was disappointed. It would be the last day to spend with Chris, and she was not going to let the day be spent idly by.
"Well I was thinking we could go to the beach during the day, then a romantic dinner. And then we could spend some quality time at my house." Dani smiled, it did sound appealing. Especially the part of Chris' house and not Justin's. They had been staying with him for days, even though they only lived ten minutes away.
"Sounds great."
"Good, we can even sleep in and just relax." Chris assured her, and they danced closer, probably knowing this would be the last dance they shared for a good amount of time.
On the other hand Joey and Christina danced close enough to give the wrong impression. But both knew other wise. This dance was one of there firsts, but surely not there last. Both Joey and Christina knew how hard it was to be on tour with a group of people who were all dating. Before it was easier, Justin and JC would have joined them on the dance floor, but now they only had each other, during slow songs that is. Joey never danced with the same girl more then once in a club during a fast song.
"Ready for the tour Chrissy?"
"No, but am I ever. I mean, sure, I'm glad as hell to be as big of a star as you guys and Brittney, but this tour is going to be one hell of a hard thing to pull off. 7 stars on one tour, in one bus. Can you imagine the security?" Christina joked, as the song came to a close.
"Well, I don't really think they could handle me anyways. Now theres just more guys to trick." Joey teased, and Christina laughed. Figuring maybe they should take a rest, Joey looked around and spotted Chris and Dani sitting at a table. Looking through the crowd he also made out Britt and Lance working there way towards the table. So leading the way, he and Christina made there way to it as well.
"Having fun?" Lance asked everyone as he sat down.
"I guess, but clubbing just isn't as fun anymore. We've been to like every club in every city, and there's nothing new about any of them." Joey shrugged.
"I know what you mean, it's only 11 and I think I've heard them replay songs." Brittney joked, as she took a sip of Dani's drink.
"You guys wanna head home?" Chris asked, figuring that was what everyone was hinting at.
"I guess we could, but it has to be a group decision, since we took one car." Brittney complained. Looking straight at Chris.
"It wasn't that big of a deal Britt, so you had to sit on Lance's lap. It's not like you don't do that all the time." Chris shot back at her.
"Guys, just drop it. But sure, let's go. I wanna get some sleep anyways. Today has been different if anything." Joey smiled, and stood. The others followed, and hopped in the car.
Twenty minutes later, Joey, Christina, Brittney and Lance were walking into the silent house. Chris and Dani had went straight to Chris' house to spend there last night and day together. Joey went straight to Justin's open bed and plopped down for sleep. Brittney went to the downstairs bathroom and caught a quick shower. Lance told her he would be waiting in Justin's parent's room for her. But he soon found himself sleeping. Christina rushed upstairs and got a quick shower herself, and came out in time to see Brittney heading into her room. Smiling, they said there good nights, and Christina went back downstairs.
Sitting by herself she plopped on the couch in the living room, and grabbed a blanket and pillow. Relaxing, she flipped on MTV. Turning the volume down as not to wake anybody, she smiled. It was one of her favorite MTV shows, Say What Karoake. She was surprised to hear a voice behind her.
"You like Say What too?" She turned to see JC standing in the arch of the living room, still shirtless and in his pajama pants. Christina smiled, and nodded. "Mind if I join you for awhile?" Christina shook her head now, and sat up making room for JC. He took a seat next to her, and smiled. "When did you get in?"
"Just a little bit ago. Brittney got a shower, but Joey went straight to bed. Lance said he was going to wait up for Brittney, but he fell asleep too. I got a shower too, and here I am. Oh, Chris and Dani went back to his house, so they could spend there time together." Christina smiled, and took JC what he was asking for.
"What time is it?" He asked next, looking around but he could not find the clock.
"It's about 12, 12:30." She replied, smiling and snickering at his loss of something in his own house.
"Oh. Then I haven't been sleeping long myself."
"Why are you awake? Bad dream?" Christina asked.
"No, I just woke up. Don't know why. I was actually really comfortable, and I think Justin was too."
"Was is the key word." JC and Christina both jumped slightly, startled by Justin's presence. He too was still clad in the clothes he had fallen asleep in, his boxers and wife beater. "But not anymore, I lost my pillow." He whined, rubbing his eyes. JC was surprised he had made it down the steps, his eyes looked like they had never been opened in the first place.
"Sorry baby." JC apologized. "Christina maybe you should get some sleep too. This is your last night of sleep and you know it. Tomorrow night we have the flight, and then we are on tour time." Christina acknowledged the truth, and frowned. JC turned and walked over to Justin. Grabbing the man's hand, he led Justin up the steps, slowly, because it definetly seemed like Justin was still sleeping. Christina turned off the tv, and settled in for her last good night's sleep.
"What are we all up for today?" JC asked as he took a seat at the kitchen table for breakfast. Lance sat next to him, and Joey on the other side. Christina was searching for something in the fridge, while he knew Justin was still sleeping because he had left him that way only minutes ago. "And where's Britt?"
"Well, Britt is getting a shower, she's been in there a good thirty minutes already, so it shouldn't be long." Lance answered, taking a bite of his toast and reading the paper.
"Ok." JC replied, not really caring, he grabbed part of the paper and opened it. Reading it, he laughed, he had picked up the comics. "Um, what about today though? What do you guys wanna do?"
"I don't really care, it's our last day, I would much rather spend some time around the house." Lance smiled, he was thinking the exact same thing that Christina had said. Brittney walked in and smiled at Lance, she had heard the conversation and knew why Lance was smiling.
"Exactly, just some down time." Joey agreed, and Brittney nodded. JC was thinking the same thing. If he could get Justin up some time during the day.
"Will Justin be joining us this morning? Or for that matter any time before it goes dark?" Brittney asked, getting a laugh from the room. JC smiled, and nodded.
"I hope he will. I don't want to wake him though, if he wants to sleep away his last day in Orlando, then let him." JC answered back, and turned his attention back towards the paper he had been reading.
TBC.....
This chapter ended without anything big happening it. Basically nothing happened it at all. Sorry about that, but it was just sort of a chapter to catch up to the day before the tour. The next chapter will probably end right before the plane ride. Hope you are enjoying the story, if you wanna let me know what you think just e-mail me at aci_85@hotmail.com
