I gave them all a hug and then a quick kiss on Justin’s cheek and ran for the phone. In the background I could hear Joey complaining about how not only do I not have a picture of him on the wall but I don’t give him a kiss on the cheek. I just laughed to myself and dialed Makala’s number. She would for sure die.

"Hey, Lila( Makala’s mom) is Makala there?" I asked eagerly.

"Yea sweety just hang on one minute"

"Hey girl what’s up? So I got these two tickets and backstage passes to a concert and I was wondering if you might want to come with."

"Whose concert are you talking about because I am not going to another Cher concert. I can get just as bored at home," Makala answered.

"OK, but I don’t know who else will go with me to the ‘N Sync concert tomorrow."

All of a sudden I heard the loudest shriek ever and then, "Girl are you kiddin’ me cause if you are I will seriously shoot you. That is so cool. I would love to go."

"Heck, yea I am serious and I think you are going to faint when I tell you the complete story but I have to go now. I will call you either later today or tomorrow. Love ya kid."

I went into the living room and saw my dad explaining what was wrong and that it was fixed but they should get it checked out by a real mechanic sometime. I entered the room and Justin looked up at me and winked. Why the hell did HE wink at me? I am not that special. I sat next to Joey on the couch and gave him a quick kiss on the check.

"What was that for?" Joey asked startled.

"Well I am sick of hearing you complain so I gave you a kiss too."

"Thanks in that case. Hey is it alright if we stay the night here and leave tomorrow?" Joey asked.

"I don’t have a problem with that. Do you honey?" my dad said looking at my mom.

"Yea, that sounds fine as long as you behave," she said laughing.

"OK then it is settled. I will go get our stuff," Justin said.

"I’ll help you then since you came with to get my dad"

******************************************************************

"Do you have something to put on the floor because the basement is pretty hard," I asked.

"Yea. Hey, you know I was thinking. I go to our concerts and I see all the people in the crowd. I think these are my fans but really there is so much more to them. Take you for instance, you are very pretty and have a great personality but up on stage you wouldn’t REALLY know it. That is why I wish I could see the fans more often."

"Justin, how come you are so sweet? I mean you read in magazines all the time about how you are so down to earth and "the boy next door" but you really are and it is so cool I get to see that."

"I guess I am lucky to be able to show you it," he suddenly grabbed my hand.

Chills were running up and down my back. He kissed my hand gently then let it go. I grabbed the bags and some pillows then went inside the house. He followed carrying a couple bags and blankets. Why did he kiss my hand? Why is this happening to ME? Nothing ever this good happens,

"Hey honey, is it OK if they sleep on the couch up here and some of them in you room?" my mom asked.

"I guess but why can’t they sleep in the basement?"

"It gets WAY to cold down there at night and we want them to be warm."

"OK, who is sleeping out here and who is sleeping in my room?" I asked looking at all of the guys.

"Well since there aren’t any pictures of the three of us in there," Joey said pointing disgustedly towards my room, "We will sleep out here. We already have to wake up to those two ugly ducklings everyday but not when they are blown up to having their heads 18 inches across," meaning the posters.

"OK, come on JC lets go put our stuff in there," Justin said.

"Wait, not so fast let me go in there a minute," I threw all my dirty clothes in my hammock and tried to get most of my posters down, "now you can come in," I said opening the door to let them in.

"There are not posters of us in here just some Ben Afleck posters," Justin looked confused.

"That is because someone took it down. I already saw it Andy, so I knew it anyway but nice try," JC said eyeing me.

"What?" I answered innocently.

******************************************************************

The next morning.....

I woke up earlier than usual. I thought I had dreamed the whole thing last night but I guess not because JC and Justin were right beside my bed. I crept out quietly to go get some breakfast but I guess not quite enough because Justin grabbed my leg and said, "Where are my applejacks?" I guess what they said about him having to have cereal right away is true. I smiled and said, "Follow me".

He hoped up and I realized what he was wearing, North Carolina boxers and not a shirt. He grabbed a shirt of the top of his bag then went with me. Damn, I was hoping he wouldn’t wear a shirt. He looked mighty, mighty FINE! So anyway, I got him some cereal and then myself some. We sat down at the table and we didn’t say anything till we finished.

"So do you mind if I hop in the shower?" he asked me.

"No, go ahead but come and tell me when you are done so I can take one," or we can take one together.

About 15 min. later he came and told me he was done. I jumped in the shower got out and dried my hair. Shit! I forgot my robe. "Umm Justin," I called with my head sticking out the door, "come here will ya?" He came over and I said, "Could you kindly go get my robe from my room?"

He shook his head yes and came back with it. "You know I wouldn’t have minded if you got the robe," Justin said giving me a sexy smile.

I shut the door quickly. Oh my GOD! I can’t believe he said that! I put it on and walked to my room. Everybody else was up luckily JC too, so I could go change in my own room. I pulled on some underwear, a bra, socks, jeans, and my favorite gray v-neck sweater. There now I look more presentable.

Joey, Chris, Lance, and JC all took a shower (yes, even Chris) then we went to the lake to go Ice Skating. They didn’t have to leave till 3 so I thought this could kill some time. I called Makala back last night and explained the story about how they ended up at my house. She was so excited and I told her I would pick her up at 3. So, here I was with 5 good looking guys Ice Skating. I was in real heaven.

Justin kept on grabbing my hips and tickling me. I told him I wasn’t ticklish but he wouldn’t give up. I skated as fast as I could to get away but he was right behind me. He tackled me and I landed with him right on top of me. He flipped me over and looked right in my eyes. She is so pretty, Justin thought.

I just stared at him. He is so gorgeous I wish this day could near end. Suddenly he bent his head down and brushed his lips across mine. I felt my cheeks go red. He then kissed my forehead and got up. He helped me up too. I can’t believe he just did that, me of all people.

"They sure seem to like each other," Joey said.

"Why you jealous Joey?" JC said pushing him laughing.

"No, I was just saying they are."

"Hey guys, having fun out here in the cold?" I asked shivering slightly.

We went back to my house and had some hot chocolate and cookies. I went to get ready for the concert. It was only 2 but hey a girl needs her time to get ready.

******************************************************************

The bus was actually running really well and while we were at the lake skating dad took it to a real mechanic. Everything was good so we drove that to the concert. We pulled up at Makala’s house and I ran to get her. When we got inside I could see the excitement in her eyes. She looked at them all and whispered that they look even better in person. I noticed JC eyeing her checking her up and down. He saw me looking at him and turned his head quickly. We started driving and then everyone introduced themselves to her.

I sat next to Justin and we all talked the whole way to Detroit. We talked about how cool it must be to travel all over the US and even going to Germany. They said it is really fun but wish that they had time to just sleep or mess around more often. I agreed at how frustrating it would be to not go out a lot. We pulled up to the stadium and we all jumped out.

"You guys can come watch us get ready for the show. You can stay back with us till the concert starts," Justin said.

"OK" Makala and I answered.

They went into another room to get dressed then they came back to get some makeup put on and other things. They started playing hacky sack and asked if we wanted to join. We said no we were having too much fun watching them. It was funny too. Lance could never quite hit the hacky sack right so they would have to start over. Then, it was time to start the concert.

Makala and I ran to our seats and when they came out I thought of all the times I watched when they were on Disney. It was so awesome and they were great live. When they started singing God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You, Justin looked right at me. Through the whole concert he kept glancing at me giving me a sexy smile. Everytime he did that I gave him one right back. They finished Tearin’ Up My Heart and ran of the stage, while the whole crowd yelled in acceptance and excitement of their performance.

Makala and I got back stage just as the guys got there. Joey looked at me and said, "Hey Andy, did I ever thank you for letting us stay at your house," I nodded no and he came running at me and gave me a hug. He was drenched with sweat. I screamed, "No Joey yuck!! STOP!!!," finally he let go of me and I was so wet.

When I looked around the room everyone was laughing at me. I hit Justin in the arm because he was laughing the hardest. We all talked for a while and didn’t realize the time till Calvin came into the room and said, "Guys it is 1:30 I think we better get going."

"OK, come on lets go," JC quickly got everyone to the bus. When we got out there the roads were pure ice.

"Looks like we won’t be going anywhere after all," Calvin said rushing everyone back inside the stadium. There was a couch in every room so I ran to the most comfortable couch. Justin followed me and said, "Do you mind if I sleep in here with you? There isn’t any room any where else."

"No, I guess not. Where is Makala?"

"She is with JC, they seemed to hit it off and Makala asked if JC would sleep in the same room as her," he informed me.

Justin went and laid on the couch as I just stood there. "Come here," Justin mouthed to me.

I went over there and he said to lay next to him. I did and he wrapped his arms around me. He felt me get tense and whispered, "Don’t worry I won’t try anything. I am a real gentleman." Then we both fell asleep.

******************************************************************

"Hey cutie!"

I heard as I first opened my eyes. Justin was looking right at me and I said, "Where is my Apple Jacks?"

We both laughed at that one. I slowly got up and walked over to the sink that was on other side of the wall. I washed my face and put my hair up in a ponytail so it was out of my face.

"So, I was thinking. You said something about having enough credits that you could graduate now. I was thinking maybe you could go with us through the rest of the tour. That way you can see what your dream is really like," Justin said with hopeful eyes.

"My dream what are you talking about? I would love to go but only if my parents would let me."

"Yea, your dream of becoming a singer. I called your parents a while ago and they said it would be fine and they also said something about your dream. So I went and found Makala to ask her what your dream was and she informed me you want to become a famous singer."

"I am going to kill her how could she say that. Well, since my parents said OK I guess I will go," I said sounding iffy. Justin looked hurt then I ran over to him and said, "Of course I want to go with the hottest guy I know, how could I miss a chance to be with JC!!!"

Justin looked at me and looked down again, "OK you are the hot one but don’t tell JC because I don’t want any hurt feelings," I said laughing.

"Goody, I can’t wait to tell the others that you’re coming and I am the hot one." He grabbed me and pulled me on his lap and kissed me on the cheek. I felt the warmth left from his lips on my cheek and craved for the feel of his lips on mine. Slowly he came closer to my lips and he kissed me. We both looked at each other and then he kissed me again but with more passion.

We pulled apart and he said, "I have wanted to do that from the first time I saw you on the bus"

I stood up and put out my hand, "Come on let’s go see what the others are doing," inside my whole stomach had been turned upside down.

Everyone else was out in the snow playing around. I ran out there and grabbed my coat on the way. Justin ran out and tackled me. "Doesn’t this look familiar," I said thinking of the lake when we were ice skating.

"I don’t know," he kissed me then said, "OK now it does."

Makala and JC were wrestling around in the snow and the rest of the guys were trying to all gang up on Calvin but it wasn’t quite working. Calvin finally got all of them in the snow and said, "The roads are better so we are leaving now."

We all ran on the bus and Justin said that I was going on tour with them. He looked at Makala and said, You can come too because I called you mom and she said as long as you didn’t mind and you have enough credits like Andy."

"Well sorry guys but it looks like you are all going to have to put up with me for the rest of the tour then," Makala announced smiling.
