Chapter 16

As promised, Justin arrived promply at eleven. He rang the doorbell, and she answered it. He had flowers in his hands, pink sterling roses, her favorite. "You remembered," she murmured.

"Of course. You told me that time we were in Quebec, and they had these in the lobby of the hotel."

"You never cease to amaze me," she replied shaking her head. He took her hand and led her to his car. It was a stunning cherry red Mercedez M Class. Pascal raised an eyebrow at him playfully. "I was a good boy, so my parents got it for me for my 17th b'day." he said proudly. Pascal nodded knowingly. He opened her door for her. Then, they sped off. The day was wonderful. Justin took her to lunch at a place that served delicious flavored teas to make her feel more at home, they went to the museum, the park, and as a special treat, he took her to an outdoor musical concert in the evening. Pascal was in heaven which pleased him.

As they were walking back to his car after the performance, Justin pulled her to him and kissed her. "I know we grew apart and lost each other for a while, but I want us to be together. At first, I thought that it would be stupid for us to do this again, but when you said that your grandfather died and just seeing you so sad, I realized how crazy I am about you and how much I want to take care of you. Let me help ease your pain." Pascal put her arms around him, and they just stood there like that for a while. "I have not felt this happy and content in quite a while. You make me feel like my old self. No one else has been able to do that. Thank-you, mon amour."

The couple was happier than ever. The group spent as much time as possible with Pascal. Solange got to know the boys, and she and several of her closest friends also became wonderful friends with the boys. Everything was perfect.

In January, the boys decided that it was time to go on tour again. This time, Europe was awaiting them once again. Pascal was to go as what else, their interpreter being that she spoke the necessary languages. Everyone was thrilled and in anticipation of a new tour. Pascal's radiance had returned, and she was happier than ever. Justin was on cloud nine with her going to Europe with them.

Finally, the day came for them to leave. The flight was wonderful. They arrived in Germany first. The boys were better than ever on stage, and the fans loved them even more. For the next couple of months, nothing could be better. As the tour was closing, Pascal had a proposition.

"I just received a call from my friend, Danika, who lives in Germany. You all met her. Well, she wants me to go visit her aunt with her in Russia. I met her aunt a few years ago, and we all got along really well. I would love to see her again. Being that we are in England right now, I really don't think my prescence is vital,so......"

"Pascal, you are welcome to go. Please, you need a vacation." Lou reassured her.

"I might have a few objections...." Justin teased and winked at her. Pascal rolled her eyes playfully. "So, is it okay if I go. I will be back in Orlando with you in about a week and a half. Will you be alright?" she kidded with Justin.

"How will I live?" he joked. "No, you go and have a good time. Are you sure it is safe in Russia? They have alot of problems there, don't they?" he questioned in a concerned tone.

"Don't worry, I will be just fine. Besides, I have been before. It is not as bad as you think, " she reassured him. "I will be flying to Germany tomorrow, and then Danika and I will travel together."

"Well, alright, as long as you bring me back a souvenier!"

"Us, too!" the other boys chimed in. Pascal shook her head and laughed. Justin still had a bad feeling about her going, but he shrugged it off for her sake.
