Chapter 7
"What time is it?" Lance asked.
"3"
"Whatcha wanna do?"
"NOT Jet-Ski!"
"Don't worry Josh, I'm fine." Lance said smiling at him again, god how JC loved that smile.
"I know, thankfully your ok."
"Ya wanna go play some pool or something?"
"Sure, I'll beat your ass again!"
"Yeah sure ya will C."
"You'll see, I'll whip your ass!"
"Yeah you wish!"
With a smirk, JC thought "Yeah I do actually." The guys went down to Lance's game room. JC got them each a beer and turned on the radio while Lance was setting up the balls. They started to play while singing along with the radio. After `Smooth' by Santana f/ Rob Thomas got over, the DJ came on with the news.
"We just received some news about *NSYNC. Near his home in Mississippi, Lance Bass had a near death experience. Bass and fellow *NSYNC member JC Chasez were jet-skiing when Lance had an accident and almost drowned. Luckily JC knew CPR and saved his life, after spending a couple days in the hospital, Lance is reported to be doing just fine."
"Figures it'd get out, I'm surprised so late! It was a whole 2 days ago." JC said bitterly.
"I know, I can't almost die and keep it secret!" Lance said sarcastically.
"Well It's a damn good thing you didn't die, all the little girls would be so heartbroken! No wait! Your not Justin, do you have any fans? Maybe 1 or 2.. no big deal." JC said smiling at Lance.
"Hey! I have more than 2 fans! They care about me!"
"No they don't! Who are you trying to kid?" JC said laughing.
"Yeah well I have more fans than you do!"
"No you don't! Im the best!" JC said as he tugged at his collar and did a little strut.
"Fine, I see when I'm not loved, I see how much people care about me!" Lance said sniffling.
"Awww Lancey, I love you, thats all that matters, you dont need any fans!" JC said sarcastically as he ran over and hugged/tackled Lance, knocking them both onto the floor. JC landed on Lance, with one leg between Lance's legs, face to face. They laid there laughing for a sec, before they both went quiet, staring into each others eyes for what seemed like eternity. Suddenly, JC realized where he was and got up off Lance and walked over to get another beer. Just then the silence was broken by the phone ringing. 'Saved by the bell.' JC thought as he picked up the phone.
"Hello."
"Hey JC, it's Joey, how ya guys doin?"
"Pretty good, you?"
"Great, Lance there?"
"Yeah, hold on." JC said handin the phone over to Lance. "Its Joey."
"Hey Joey, how are ya?" Lance asked into the phone.
"Great you?"
"Good, despite everything."
"What do you mean?" Joey asked concerned.
"You didn't hear?" Lance asked surprised.
"Hear what?!"
"I almost drowned."
"That was nice of someone to tell me! What happened?"
"Me and JC went Jet-Skiing and I got knocked off and bumped my head, I was under for a few minutes before JC found me, he had to do CPR then called the ambulence. I was in the hospital for a few days. JC saved my life." Lance said looking over to JC smiling. JC smiled back.
"Wow, well Im glad your ok! Your ok right?"
"Feel great."
"Great, so JC tell ya about us commin up?"
"Yeah he did."
"Hearing what happened makes me wanna come up even more, can we? When would be a good time? We were thinking Tuesday, thats in... 3 days, that enough notice?" Joey asked fast, not letting Lance object.
"Your welcome here anytime, Tuesday is fine."
"Cool, oh and can I bring a friend of Nina's too? She doesn't have a place yet and is staying with us, she's heard a lot about you and wants to meet you, though she wont admit it."
"Fine with me, I got plenty of room, hold on I'll as JC." Lance looked up to find JC playing pinball. "Hey JC, what ya think about Joey and Nina commin up?"
"It's your house, I'm just a guest, what's it matter what I say?"
"You more than a guest, I just wanna make sure its ok with you."
"Yeah its fine." JC lied. He was protective and wanted Lance to himself. "This was supposed to be a month of Lance and ME." he thought to himself sadly. He looked up to see Lance talking to Joey, smiling and laughing. He looked back down and went upstairs. Lance saw JC's expression and sadly watched him leave.
After making the arrangements with Joey, Lance hung up the phone and went to find JC. Walking up the stairs he heard the sound of his piano being played. He followed the sound of the music to find JC playing the piano in the studio Lance had built in his house. The piano faced the other way, so JC did not know Lance was there. Lance just stood in the doorway watching him. JC was enthralled in the music, Lance watched him run his fingers professionally over the smooth keys. With his eyes closed be was quietly singing. Lance recognized the song, it was the one JC sang to him in the hospital, It was beautiful, it had so much heart and feeling to it. "He must really love me." He thought.
Lance felt bad about it, but he knew they couldnt get involved, what happened with Joey before was bad enough, everyone almost found out, luckily it was kept quiet, they still had to be careful not to talk about it though. If people found out, it would be the end of their career, and their lives. It was hard on Lance too, he knew he was having feelings for JC too, and he just wished he could tell JC and they could be together and have the love they both wanted so much. Lance tried to shake it out of his mind, he knew that couldn't happen, it just couldn't. Lance left before the song was over, he didnt want JC to know he was there.
JC stopped playing and looked down, a tear feel down his cheek, he didnt wipe it off, he let it fall, it fell onto his shirt, right above his heart.
Chapter 8
Lance and JC got up as they heard the lady on the speaker say, "Flight 143 from Orlando Florida just arriving." People began filing out of the terminal, greeted by family and friends. Near the end they saw a freak wearing a Superman T-Shirt with bright red hair. Joey ran up to the guys and 'guy-hugged' them, followed by Nina and Sue.
Nina was short, about 5'2" with red/brown hair up in a pony tail. She was wearing a black adidas T-shirt and baggy jeans and a silver ball necklace. She ran over and gave Lance and JC hugs.
"Ive missed you guys so much!" she said, "Its not the same without you two around!"
"We've missed you too Nini." JC said, calling her by the nickname he always called her.
Grabbing the girl standing behind, Joey introduced her to the guys, "JC, Lance, meet Susie." he said with a smile on his face. Lance looked at her and instantly forgot about anyone else being there. Susie, or Sue, what the sane people called her, was about 5'5" with shoulder length light brown hair and the most beautiful blue eyes Lance had ever seen. Well he thought so at the moment, forgetting about JC's eyes, which he'd always loved. She was wearing a light purple t-shirt with a butterfly on it, light blue jeans and had butterfly barrettes in her hair. Lance smiled and took her hand and kissed it.
"Its a pleasure to meet you Susan." He said, like the perfect gentleman.
"Thank you." she said quietly, smiling and blushing. Lance though she was the most wonderful girl he'd ever met, she had a smile that would just light up a room. Lance still had her hand in his when his thoughts were interrupted by Joey.
"Yo, Lance, come on, lets go." He said. They walked over to get their luggage, Joey grabbed his bag and Nina's and Sue went to grab hers when Lance stopped her.
"Please, let me." he said, scooping up her luggage. They walked to the car, Lance leading the way with Sue at his side, Joey and Nina behind them, with JC farther behind, watching Lance and Sue, heartbroken, convinced there was no chance for him and Lance now, he seemed to like Sue alot. JC hated her, he didn't know her, but he hated her, she already had stepped in his life and taken his love.
Driving back to Lance's house, Sue was in front with Lance and the others were in the back. Lance was pointing out things to them as they drove, JC just sat sulking. When they arrived, Lance gave them all the grand tour of the house and let them pick their rooms. Joey and Nina picked a dark blue interiored room across from JC's and Sue chose the light purple one on the other side of Lance's.
"Oh my god, I love this room!" Sue said looking around. It had light purple walls and draperies with a white carpet and furniture. She laid down on the canopy bed, "I always wanted a room like this when I was a little girl." she said smilling up at Lance.
"Im glad you like it, I had it furnished like this for when my neice comes to visit and if I ever have a daughtor... not saying I think of you as a little girl or anything." he said, smirking sexily at her.
"Like it, I love it!" She looked so innocent lying there, Lance loved that about girls, and she also looked sexy, her t-shirt was up, showing her flat stomach, Lance always loved a girls stomach. Lance chuckled at her, which made her giggle.
"Can I help you unpack?"
"Sure... If you can help me up!" she said laughing, "Im so tired!"
"Awww of course Ill help you up." he said smiling. He walked over to her, grabbed one hand and put his arm around her back and pulled her up.
"So how old are you?" he asked.
"18"
"Out of highschool?"
"Yup, just graduated at the top of my class."
"That's great, what are you gonna do now?
"Honestly, I dont know, thats part of why I moved to Orlando, Im just staying with Joey and Nina till I can get my own place. I was working as a waitress for a few weeks, until they fired me."
"Why'd they fire you?"
"Im too uncoordinated, I dropped everything, the final straw was when I tripped over thin air and spilled hot coffee all over my boss' mother, then dropped and broke the pot!" she said laughing. Lance joined in laughing too.
"I guess thats not the job for you." he said.
"Not if I ever wanna make any money!"
"So how do you know Nina?"
"We met in kindergarden, we were in the same class, then we werent friends again until 8th grade, from then on we were inseperable, until she moved to Florida after the summer in 10th. We kept in touch and then I moved down there."
"Thats cool you guys are still best friends."
"Yup, we've been though alot together." They smiled at each other. Lance grabbed the last 2 things in her bag and pulled out an old worn white teddy bear and a framed picture of him. Seeming what he pulled out, Sue quickly snatched them away form him.
"*NSYNC fan? I knew I had at lease ONE fan." Lance asked smiling.
"Yeah, got a problem with that?"
"No, not at all." he said, still smiling.
"I got it at the July 24th concert last summer, you were always my favorite." Sue said quieltly, placing the teddy bear on the bed, "I didnt mean to pack it... I guess I just automatically did, not like I need to have it, I got the real thing standing right in front of me.. and I'm making a fool out of myself in front of him too." she said looking down at her hands.
Next paragraph contains a little heterosexual stuff (just kissing) if you don't wanna read that, just skip the next paragraph - summary, Lance and the chick are kissin for a few.
Lance placed his hands on her arms and turned her toward him. She looked up at him, he had the most beautiful green eyes, and the most beautiful smile. He slowly leaned closer to her and closed his eyes, she closed hers. They got closer until their lips brushed together gently. Lance wraped his arms around her waist as she wrapped hers around his neck. They continued to kiss, it was quickly becomming stronger. Lance rubbed his tongue along her lips making Sue moan and open them. Lance slipped his tongue in and explored her mouth. Sue ran her hands down Lance's check and arms, feeling his muscles. Lance brought his hand around the front of her stomach and found her navel ring. He played with it for a few seconds before running his hand up her stomach. He placed his hand under her shirt and made his way up to her bra, he placed his hand around her and gently massaged her nipple with his thumb, which made her moan into his mouth.
"Hey you guys, what do ya want for sup..per?" JC asked as he appeared in the doorway, interrupting the intimate moment. Lance and Sue quickly regained their composure.
"Um, I don't care, whatever." Lance said.
"Yeah whatever." Sue said.
"Well... why dont you guys come down and discuss it." JC said looking away.
"Ok." Lance said, looking down at Sue.
"Um, actually, Im not really hungry, I ate on the plane, I think Ill just hit the sack." she said opening the bureau drawer.
"You sure?" Asked Lance.
"Yeah, Im pretty pooped, sorry."
"Thats ok, you just get some sleep, Ill see you tomorrow." Lance said, turning to see that JC had already left. He turned back to Sue and gave her a quick kiss before heading downstairs.
Chapter 9
When JC came back downstairs Joey asked him where Lance and Sue were, he told them they'd be down in a few and walked to the kitchen. JC leaned his forehead against the refrigerator. "Great, just great." he said to himself. "Why cant things just work out for us? Why? Why cant we just be together? It was so good until they came, damnit, Joey always has to ruin everything! I've loved Lance since I met him and first he was with him, then he introduced him to Danielle, now her, goddamnit! Why cant it just work out the way its supposed to be?! Why? Why cant Lance and I just be together? I love him more than anyone else ever could!" JC slid down to the floor and pulled his legs up to his chest and buried his face in his arms. He broke down crying, he didnt understand why it had to be so hard.
"JC, whats wrong?" Nina asked as she walked into the kitchen.
"Nothing..."
"Dont lie to me like that Josh, theres something wrong, it wont get better if you dont talk about it, please, whats wrong?
"Nothing damnit, I said nothings wrong! He yelled, getting up off the floor and storming out of the house. JC got in his car and drove off, with nowhere to go.
"What just happened in here? Joey asked Nina, walking into the kitchen.
Nina, with tears in her eyes put her arms around Joey and burried her face in his chest, "I dont know Joey, He was in here crying and when I asked what was wrong he said nothing and left."
"Dont worry honey, he'll be ok, whatevers wrong, he just needs to think about it, he'll be back soon, JC's a reasonable guy, theres no reason to worry."
"I know."
"What just happened?!" Lance asked, joining them.
"Nina came into the kitchen and saw JC crying, when she asked what was wrong, he got mad and stormed out of the house, we dont know where he went."
"Shit... I'll go find him." Lance said rushing out the door.
