"Family Ties"

Chapter 7

The next day I didn't wake up until 2 in the afternoon. Me and Justin had stayed up until 5am talking playing video games on the Hotel playstation.We would have stayed up longer if the people in the room next to mine(J.C. and Joey) hadn't called the front desk and said we were making to much noise. Oh well at least I didn't have to wake up at 8am.Poor Justin.' Oh Well.I need to stop worrying about Justin and get out of bed.'We were in L.A. for three days and I Wanted to get some siteseeing done before the end of the day. I picked out some jean shorts and and a nike shirt.I quickly showered and got dressed. I pulled on a pair of nike sneakers and I pulled my hair into a ponytail. As I left my room I ran into a boy about my age maybe a year or two older."Oh sorry.I didn't see you coming out of your room.""Hey!Your not supposed to be up here this is a private floor!Darren!Perry!"I called out for security "Whoa!Chill!My father owns the hotel!" "I don't care if your father is the pope!You are not allowed here.This is a Private floor!" That's when my the two guards came."Miss Fatone is everything okay?""Darren,Perry,did you let him in here?" "Well yes.This is Danny Mitchell his father is the owner of the hotel." "Well Darren if twenty 13 year olds came up here and their father was the owner of the hotel would you let them in?Huh?Would you?" "Well uh,Well,I guess,well..."He looked down at his feet."No I wouldn't""Okay then.Well I am leaving.I want to go see some of the sites L.A. has to offer.And I'm going to go buy something for the concert.Perry you get to accompany me today.Darren you take care of this problem." "Wait!" I turned around to see Danny trying to get my attention."Yes?" "Well if you need a guide to show you around.I'm your man.I've lived here all my life and I know this city like the back of my hand.So what do you say?" I had to admit Danny was very cute.He was about 6 feet tall.With brown hair frosted at the top.And beautiful green eyes.And it was very nice for him to offer."Okay.I guess so.Perry you get to stay here." "But Miss. Fatone your brother said that you are not to leave the hotel-" "Yes Perry I know alone.But as you see I'm leaving here with Danny so I'm not alone.I'll be back before my curfew at 9.Ciao!"

When we got in the elavator Danny laughed."What's so funny?" "Well I just realized I just offered to spend the entire day with you and I don't even know your first name." I laughed."It's Jessica but call me J.B. cause if you don't I'll physically harm you." As we stepped out of the hotel I clapped my hands together."Where to Mr.Mitchell?"He grabbed my hand."Come on." We spent the first few hours looking at the landmarks in L.A..We ate lunch.And then went shopping.Danny was suprised on how much I spent on clothes."How can you buy so much?" I grinned an evil grin and held up a paice of plastic."This little baby helps."He grabbed it out of my hand and stood there in awe."You stole your brother's Credit Card?" "I prefer The term borrowing.But stealing is a better word for it.""Man isn't he going to be mad?" "No.I'll just count it as my paycheck for being their asisstant.""I like the way you think."

When we got back to the hotel I let Danny walk me back to my room. "I had fun.Thanks for showing me arou-"I was cut off by Danny kissing me."Wow." was all he could get out before I kissed him back.And I don't mean innocent kissing.I felt his arms snake around my back and I put my arms around his neck.I leaned against my door and it flew open sending me and Danny to the floor.Then I saw five faces look over us.It was the Five guys known as *N SYNC."Oh My God.Joey.What are you doing here?" "Where have you been?!?!And who is he?And dont tell me it wasn't what it looked like because He is wearing your lipstick!"I looked over at Danny who was wiping lipstick from his Lips.I looked at the clock.10pm! "Sorry Joey I didn't know it was past nine.My watch must have broke."I looked at my watch and surely enough it had stopped ticking."This is Danny Mitchell.His dad owns the hotel and he was just leaving Bye danny." I pushed him out the door whispering a "I'll find you tomorrow." When I closed the door.I saw 1 angry face(Joey)2 serious faces(J.C. and Lance) 1 almost laughing face(Chris) And I couldn't read Justin's Face.Guilt? 'What would Justin feel guilty about?'."Guys I am tired .So we will finish this conversation tommorrow.OK?Okay.Good Night!"Everyone but Joey left."We Will continue this tomorrow.""Okay Bye!"And with that he was gone into his room.I crawled into bed giggling about Danny.For one night everything was perfect.Little did I know what was going to happen the next day.
