He didn’t say anything, just led me over to the middle of the stage where you could really see all the stars moving on the ceiling. "You told me you didn’t know much about the stars, so I decided to bring them all to you." He whispered in my ear.

I smiled. "I can’t believe you did this...it’s the sweetest thing anyone’s ever done for me." He smiled back at me.

"Wait, look up." He said, and it was perfect timing. The ceiling suddenly had a fireworks display on it, with live sounds coming over the speakers! I was amazed. "They told me I couldn’t set off real fireworks inside the house, so I decided this was the next best thing." He joked. I smiled and we both started to laugh.

"I don’t know what to say...except thank you!" I said looking at him. The lights from the ceiling and the lights from the stage were just enough light.

"Consider it my way of making last night up to you. Trinity, I like you. I don’t want anything to prevent us from being together..." He started. "And believe me, these words I’m saying to you, I couldn’t imagine saying them to anyone else." He said softly. "And all I wanna do is kiss you, but I don’t want to mess anything up-."

"Justin," I cut him off, "shut up." I said smiling. He smiled back, and before either of could say another thing, I kissed him.

As soon as my lips touched his, a complete shock went through my body. I felt fireworks going off in my head! It was the most incredible kiss ever...and as we softly broke away, we looked at each other, and I just knew he felt the same way. ‘Things are finally right...’ I thought to myself as we kissed again.

"Nothin." I answered, smiling back. He leaned in for a kiss, and soon we were too busy kissing to notice the front door open.

"AW!" A voice exclaimed, interrupting us. We glanced up to see Chris standing in the doorway. "Would ya look at the happy couple!"

I laughed as Justin threw a pillow at Chris. "Don’t make me leave this couch to get up and kick your ass." J said laughing.

"Oh, well excuse me! Ya know, for someone who finally got what they wanted, you’re an awfully cranky boy." Chris joked.

"Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out! OUT." Justin exclaimed, as all three of us laughed.

"I’m goin! But WHAT will the public do when they find out you kicked the hottest member of NYSNC out of his own living room?"

I was cracking up. Chris was so funny! "I’m sorry, the HOTTEST member of the group? Well, I wouldn’t say the hottest, but you’re one of the top 5." I reassured him.

"Oh, I can’t wait to tell my mom!!" He exclaimed running out of the room. I laughed and looked at Justin.

"He’s so funny!" I exclaimed.

"Oh...wait till you hang around him more!" Justin told me laughing. I laughed along with him. "So where were we?" He asked as he kissed me again.

We stayed on the couch for another half-hour, then walked outside to see who all returned home so early.

"Well, we tried to go out, but there were way too many fans around to actually chill." Joey explained, tossing bags of chips onto the table. "So we’re back...I know you missed us!"

I noticed JC was staring at Justin and I. I smiled at him, because he looked almost nervous. "So, it wasn’t a good night?" I asked.

"Well, it is now." Joey said slipping his arm around my waist. I laughed and then joined the rest of the guys at the table. "Ouch! I was shunned!" He joked.

"Aren’t you used to it by now Joe?" Lance asked, smiling.

"HAH! Who scores more, Lance? Who?" Joey asked opening a bag of chips and started throwing them at Lance.

Lance flipped him off and all the guys stared to laugh. "I’ll be right back." Justin told everyone and went upstairs.

"So what happened with you two?" JC asked, reaching in the chip bag and putting one in his mouth.

"We talked...very good things happened after that." I told him smiling. Chris laughed.

"And by very good things, she means they hooked up." I reached over and playfully hit him.

Justin came back down a few minutes talking on his cell phone. "Yeah, things are going great. Nope, no problems with her, she’s amazing." He laughed. "Now you know me better then that! We’ll talk about it at the meeting. Alright, later." He snapped his phone shut. "That was Johnny." He announced.

"And how is our lovely manager doing?" Chris asked, getting up and taking a drink from the fridge.

"He called to make sure you were behaving yourself." Justin said. "And I told him, no when does Chris ever behave himself?!"

"Mhmm, and then I would get on the phone and Johnny would ask me how is Justin doing? I hope he’s not acting like an ass. And I would tell him, when does Justin ever not act like an ass?" Chris snapped back sticking his tongue out.

"Mature, man...Mature." Justin said sitting next to me. "So Johnny told me that we have a conference call tomorrow at 6 AM, so everyone," he looked at JC "better be awake!"

"Man, don’t look at me!" JC exclaimed. "I didn’t do nothin." The way he said it was so cute...I had to laugh!

"Don’t worry, I’m sure Trinity can get him up...you can be seductive right? WAIT! What am I talking about...every girl J brings home is seductive!" Chris joked laughing.

"I’ma kill you!" Justin said smiling. Chris took off running, and Justin ran after him. "Yeah, you better run!" I heard him exclaim.

Joey was right behind them. "I never miss these fights! Someone always gets their ass kicked!"

I laughed and looked at JC and Lance. Even though I knew they all were joking, it still made me feel nervous. I never thought I was sexy, or seductive, and it made me nervous to hear all this. It was like Lance read my mind, because he said, "Trinity, don’t worry about us. We like to give J a hard time about the girls he brings home, but they’re not bad."

I gave a small smile. "Yeah, I know. Thanks though." I told him.

"Alright, I don’t really feel like staying in tonight, I think I’m gonna try and go out again. Ya’ll can come if you’d like." Lance offered getting up.

JC and I politely declined. When it was just the two of us, I noticed that JC was being awfully quiet. "Is something wrong?" I asked him.

"No, not at all." He looked at me, smiling. "Just thinking about something, that’s all." Although that’s what he said, I had a feeling he was lying.

"Oh, alright. Hope it’s all good thoughts!" I exclaimed, and he chuckled.

"Always." He told me smiling. JC looked stressed, not to mention tired. While the other 4 guys seemed energized all day, it seemed to me that JC was under a lot of personal stress. I hate to see other people worried, and I really didn’t want to see JC hurt. We sat in silence for a second. I thought maybe he would say something else, but he didn’t. "It’s funny how things turn out. Are you sure something isn’t wrong?" I didn’t want to pressure him into telling me, so then I added, "I mean you don’t have to tell me, but I’m here if you want to talk."

He smiled at me. "Thanks, but really it’s ok. Just thinking about some weird things, nothing to worry about though." He got up. "I think I’m gonna go lie down for a while. Come get me if you need anything, but I’m sure J will cater to your every need." He joked, and I laughed.

"I’ll keep that in mind!" I told him. I was sitting there by myself, when someone’s hands slipped over my eyes. "Uh-oh, am I supposed to guess who?" I asked laughing.

I heard a male voice laugh with me. "I doubt you’ll just guess, so I’ll give you a hint." He told me, right before he left a trail of kisses starting with my neck and ending at my lips.

"Hm...I would know those lips anywhere." I said taking his hands off my eyes and kissing him again.

"Please!" Joey exclaimed walking back into the room. "I just ate! Trinity, if you were kissing someone who was actually sexual, like another woman, I would understand, but him?" Joey joked. I laughed and wrapped my arms around Justin’s neck. "Sorry Joey, I think this man is very sexual."

"Wanna go up to my bedroom?" He whispered in my ear before he picked me up. "We’ll be leaving now, and if you knock on my door, heads will roll!" He warned, and he carried me upstairs.

He opened the door, and I looked around the room. I didn’t get to see much before he set me gently down on his bed. I gave him a small smile as he started coming towards me. He gently tilted my chin upwards and kissed me. He made me feel completely comfortable, but I swore to myself that this would only go so far. Having fun was good though, and I planned on doing just that...having fun.

As he sat down next to me still kissing me, I took off my A&F jean jacket, and lightly threw it on the floor. I put my arms around his neck, and he put one hand on my thigh, and the other was on the bed. The kisses became more intense, but there wasn’t anything too bad going on. I found myself scared to stop, but I didn’t want it to go any further. I gently pulled away and smiled. His forehead touched mine, and we stayed like that for a minute.

There was a knock on the door. Justin sighed in frustration. "Someone better be hurt out there!" He exclaimed, getting up off the bed.

"Damn! I come in here to tell you you’re wanted on the phone and this is the thanks I get?" Lance asked walking away.

Justin and I both laughed. "I’ll be right back baby." He told me, and then took the phone call downstairs.

I waited 5 minutes, then decided to take a walk around. I peeked into the guest bedrooms that JC said were being remodeled. You could tell they were going to be very beautiful places when they were finished. I saw JC’s door slightly opened, so I looked inside.

I didn’t go the whole way in, because I didn’t want to make any noise. I watched him sleep from outside his room. ‘AW! He looks so cute!’ Just then, someone tapped me lightly on the shoulder. I jumped and turned around. It was Lance. "I’m sorry!" I exclaimed, hoping he didn’t think I was some psycho.

He chuckled. "No, don’t worry about it, I was just making sure you were ok. Most people find JC attractive when he’s actually awake though." We both smiled.

"I was just looking at all the rooms. This is such an amazing house! I bet it’s great to come home to this." I said looking around.

Lance shrugged. "Not really. You should have seen us when we had first bought it!" He laughed at the memory. "Every night was a non-stop party. It still is like that in a way, but it’d be nice to go home where family and friends are too."

I sighed. "Yeah, I don’t know how you guys do it. I like, just moved down here, and it’s been so tough already!" I exclaimed.

"You get used to it though. I’m sure we’ll all feel like family to you soon enough." He laughed. "Alright, I’ll let ya get back to watching JC sleep." I smiled.

We both laughed. "You’re not that bad Lance." I joked.

"Haha, thanks! You’re not too bad either." We smiled one last time, and then he walked away.

I walked back into Justin’s room and sat on his bed. I noticed the huge stack of DVD’s right by his TV/DVD player. I walked over, and put one in, then I laid in Justin’s bed. I was almost asleep when Justin walked back into the room. I could see him smile. "You still up?" He asked gently sitting next to me on the bed.

"Yeah." I said sleepily, grinning up at him. "I was just watching a movie, waiting for you to come back up." I explained.

He stroked my hair and lightly kissed my forehead. "You look tired. Why don’t we watch the rest of the movie and take it from there?" He suggested, smiling.

"If you want to. You don’t have to though." I told him, but he lay down next to me. I snuggled up closer to him and rested my head on his chest; feeling his light, steady breathing. I sighed contently.

He wrapped his arm around me and we settled down to watch the rest of the movie. I shut my eyes just for a second, but before I knew it, I was out. Justin smiled down at me, kissed my check, and switched from watching the movie, to watching me. ‘How did I get so lucky?’ Justin thought, smiling.
