"Family Ties"

Chapter 14

**THE NEXT MORNING**

I woke up the next morning to Chris knocking on the door yelling at me to get up. I looked at the clock and hopped out of bed. Forgetting that Justin was there I landed on his back and fell to the floor."OWWW!!!" We both yelled and stood up. "J.B. You have the rudest ways of waking me up." I gave him an apolagetic look. "I'm sorry. I forgot you were here." I stuck out my lower lip and gave him a look that I knew he couldn't resist. He laughed and gave me a hug. "Your forgiven." I was about to kiss him when somebody knocked on the door. "J.B. open up!" I opened the door to see Lance, JC and Chris standing there. "Is Justin here?" I stood aside and motioned for them to come in. Justin was on the phone with the lobby trying to get an extra key for his room. "Yes the key is for room 314. Uh-huh. Leave the key with the security. Okay. Thank you." He hung up the phone and looked up and saw the guys standing there. He was about to explain why he was in my room in the same clothes he had on the night before but Chris held up his hand and shook his head " Bounce We don't even want to know. I just want you to go to your room and get changed and you better hurry you only have 5 minutes to do it." Justin got up and ran out of the room and towards security to get his room key. I looked at the clock. "JC he has 20 minutes to get ready. Chris laughed and shook his head . "I know but I love to see him panick."

**5 hours later**

'Hmmmm let me see. We have Snickers, M&Ms, Three Musketeers and Twix.' I was at the Vending Machine in the Arena trying to feed my sugar craving while the guys were doing a soundcheck. 'Well Snickers bar it is.' I put in the change and entered the number and waited for the machine to despence my candy bar. But as luck would have it the candy bar got half way out but got caught on a spring. "Aw Man." "Here let me try." A male voice behind me said. I turned around to see Justin standing there. "Can I try?" I stepped aside. "Be my guest." He put in 50 cents and entered the number and my snickers bar fell out. "Wow I'm impressed." He gave me a smile "Well where's my reward.You know you didn't give me a kiss earlier." I leaned up and was about to give him a kiss when we heard JC yelling Justin's name. "Timberlake! We need to finish this soundcheck!" "Should I listen to him?" Justin asked me. I acted like I was giving it some thought. "No way." He just shrugged and kissed me. He threw the snickers in my backpack. "Forget the candy bar. If you need something sweet you have my kisses." I laughed. "That has to be the corniest thing I have ever heard." He gave me a puppy dog look. I smiled. "Oh well come here." I gave him a big kiss. When the kiss was over he gave me the Biggest grin. "That was the best 50 cents I ever spent!"
