We went to my house and Makala’s house to get clothes for us both and we said good-bye to our families. All the guys came inside to say thank you to my parents. They are so sweet. How did I end up meeting them? We got back on the bus and headed for the next city.

We finally got to the hotel we were staying at and I jumped out glad to be able to stretch. Joey and Lance started jumping on each other and must I say that was a hilarious sight. All of a sudden I could hear screams all around us. I looked around and there was a whole stampede of girls running towards us. We all ran inside quickly to escape the frightening 13 year olds.

We got checked into our rooms and Justin and I ended up sharing a room. Makala insisted on JC sharing a room with her and Joey, Chris, and Lance all shared one room. As we got to our room Justin looked at me dangerously as if he would prance on me. He gave me a devilish smile and pushed me to the bed.

"Good, now I get to start where we left off," Justin whispered in my ear giving me goosebumps.

He started kissing me and I just stared at him. "What?" he said.

"I don’t know isn’t this sorta fast. I mean I have the record for being screwed over the most and I don’t want you to be added to that list," I replied.

"I know you have been hurt a lot but I am not about to hurt you. I have the whole rest of the tour to be with you and I don’t think I would screw you over to have you glare at me the rest of the tour. I swear I come in best interest and I don’t want to hurt you. You got to give me a real chance first though."

"Well maybe if it was, I don’t know, more official then it would be different."

"OK then, Andy, could I have the pleasure of having you as my girlfriend?" Justin asked smiling waiting for me to answer.

I grabbed his head and brought his lips to mine. He kissed me back with so much passion I was amazed. I slipped my tongue in his mouth and I loved the way he reacted. He said "I take that as a yes," and I said, "yes, now kiss me dammit’!" We just kept on kissing only stopping to gasp for breathe. I felt his hand slide down my stomach going down farther and farther.

"No, not yet. I met you a couple days ago. I don’t exactly feel comfortable with that," I said pulling away.

"Sorry, I guess I got carried away. It won’t happen again," he smiled giving me another one of those devilish looks. I got up and got changed for bed. He went into the bathroom and changed for bed then came out with boxers on and no shirt. He is definitely built. I hope this time never ends. There were two double beds so I slept in one and he slept in the other.

"No, grandpa. What’s wrong?!" I screamed in my dream not realizing I was yelling out loud.

Justin got up and came over to me. "Andy, Andy, it’s me baby. Wake up."

I woke up to Justin looking at me terrified. I sat up and hugged him. He hugged me back tightly. I felt so much safer with him holding on to me. He laid me back down and asked if I was OK.

"Justin, will you please just lay with me?" I asked.

"Yes, baby. I am right next to you."

He laid right next to me and wrapped his muscular arms around me. He kept on whispering sweet things in my ear and then he started singing to me. I woke up and he was still holding me tight. He looked so cute sleeping, I gave him a kiss on the tip of his nose.

"That is all I get," he said just waking up.

"Yea, I guess so," I answered while getting up. He pulled me back down on him and he kissed me very sweetly. We got up and showered, dressed and headed for breakfast downstairs.

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

The next few weeks kept up like that. Justin and I really started to get close. We were almost inseparable. I loved every moment with him. One day when we were at Orlando he took me to this certain spot on the beach. He packed a picnic so we had a romantic lunch. He looked at me as I ate. He didn’t say anything but just looked at me.

"I love you," Justin slowly said.

"What? I mean, um, why did you say that?" I asked with disbelieve.

"I do. I love you. I have fallen for you Andrea Elizabeth Mack, and I mean fallen hard for you."

He kissed me but I pulled away, "I love you too, Justin. I have loved you since the first time I saw you. Even before I met you I just knew there was something about you that no one else could see."

He smiled at me and said, "You are right. You bring something out in me I never even knew I had. You brought out so much love."

I pushed him back and smothered him with kisses. I kissed his nose, then each cheek, then , up and down his neck, and finally I made my way up to his lips. Our passion for each other came out in that kiss. He slipped his tongue in my mouth and then I got an idea.

I pulled away, "Come on. I want to show you something."

He looked up sadly because I stopped kissing him but I just said lets go slow poke. I ran ahead and he ran after me. He grabbed my hand and I stopped running. I jumped in the driver seat of his Mercedes. Since we were in Orlando where he lives we got to drive his car.

"Hey, I may love you but oh no you are not driving."

"Come on Justin," I pleaded. He got in the passenger side so I took off. I stopped in front of a house that Justin didn’t know where it was at. He looked at me confused. I got out and got him out of the car. Then I took his hand and went up to the house. It was empty just as I last saw it. We went inside and I looked at him. He looked around the house and then me

"This is going to be where I live," I informed him.

"When is this happening?" he asked.

"As soon as your tour is over. I am going to go to college here at Florida. What do you think?"

"That is really cool. Now I can spend even more time with you. "He kissed me and then we left to go back for his concert.

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

Jan. 28…

Joey and I were left all alone in the bus. We didn’t know where everyone else was. Finally we decided to go to the beach. We were now at California and I told Joey there was this really cool spot to go. It was really beautiful so I talked him into it. We pulled up and we jumped out. Joey followed me up the path that goes to the bunch of trees by the beach.

All of a sudden tons of people jumped out at us yelling, "Happy Birthday!" Joey and I looked at each other funny. We forgot our birthdays were on the same day. Justin ran over to me and said, "Surprised you didn’t I?"

"Maybe a little," I said smiling.

"Here I got you something, "I opened the small box that he handed me. Inside the box was a ring.

"What is this for?" I asked beaming.

"Well I got you this because it is a promise ring. You know I love you and this is just a promise that I do."

"Justin Randall Timberlake, you are the sweetest man I know. I love you so much." I exclaimed. He put it on my finger and then we joined everybody else dancing.

We went back to the hotel and I was exhausted. The guys didn’t have a concert that night so we all went straight to bed.

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

A month later..

I asked Makala if she would go to the mall with me to go shopping. It had been a long time since I had gone shopping and I was happy to get away for awhile. Makala was talking about her and JC the whole time. I laughed and she said what.

"I think someone has been bit by the love bug," was my answer.

She looked at me and we both laughed. We knew we both had been bit by the love bug. I bought a whole bunch of cool knew outfits. After we were finished shopping we went to get food. We ate in silence for awhile then I said something to her.

"Makala, have you and JC, well, you know what I mean?"

"What? Oh, that, yeah. Why do you ask?"

"Well I was thinking about it and Justin and I are really serious and we have been a couple for a while. I don’t know I guess I am just curious."

She gave me a weird smile. I just gave her a weird look back and finished eating. It was about 4 by then and we had to get back so we could watch the concert. We got back and I put on one of my new outfits. It was green cargo pants and a white tank top. I looked at myself in the mirror. I guess I am not that plain. My eyes really shine out in this outfit.

"Nice job guys," I said as they exited the stage. I gave Justin a quick kiss.

"Hey, you look really good tonight," Justin whispered in my ear.

I looked at him and smiled. He always made me feel so special. I mouthed I love you and he did it back. He grabbed my hand and we all went to the hotel . JC and Makala were all over each other in the elevator. I could see JC’s tongue slide into her mouth and I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. They all turned and stared at me.

"Just thought of something that was funny," I said.

When we got inside the hotel room I saw that devilish look that Justin always gives me. I ran to the other side of the room and yelled, "You are going to have to catch me first," knowing what he wanted.

He grabbed my waist and flopped me on the bed. I looked at him with a desire and passion that was unknown to me. He started kissing my neck and then he slowly made his way to my lips. He slid his hand up and down my thigh and it shot tingling all down my body. I reached for his shirt and I took it off over his head. Then he too of my tank top. I pulled his body closer to mine. He struggled to get my pants off but finally succeeded and through them across the room. I slipped off his boxers and he snapped off my bra.

I whispered, "I have never done this before" and he said back, "Either have I." He smiled at me and then I was more relaxed I arched my back feeling his warmth inside me. Then I gasped as he slid his tongue in my mouth. I love you Justin, I whispered and he said I love you too. He took me to a world of ecstasy that I never knew was possible. I rolled over after and he wrapped his arms around me making me feel so safe again as I always felt with him.

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

Two weeks later…..

It was now April and it was so beautiful to go up in the North and watch the buds of the trees blossoming. We were in Maine, a state that I had never been to before. Justin had been trying to talk me into singing before the guys went out there but I couldn’t because I was scared of rejection from the audience. He tried to comfort me but I was just not comfortable with the idea.

"Lets go somewhere where we can be alone," I said.

"OK, I heard of a small wooded area that is great for relaxing," Justin offered. We drove up some hills and then we arrived to a beautiful area of trees and woods. It was breathtaking. I hadn’t seen something this amazing for a while. He grabbed my hand put out a blanket and we sat on it. I placed my head in his lap as he stroked my long hair.

"Babe, I love you."

"I love you too."

"I wish that I never would have to leave your side."

"I know what you mean and I am so glad I asked you to join us on the tour. You are the very best thing that has ever happened to me," Justin said.

"Then, I guess I never will have to leave your side. You are the first boyfriend I have had that actually loves me for who I am. I think you should move in with me when I start going to college in Florida. What do ya think bout’ that?"

"I would love that more than anything. How long before you sing at one of our concerts? I am really looking forward to it and so is the rest of the guys."

"I don’t know. You know how I get just thinking about it but on stage I think I might freeze," I replied looking away from his deep blue eyes.

"Baby, I know you are good and the audience would love you to sing. Now come on just do it one time and then I won’t bug you to do again," Justin said with hope in his eyes.

"OK, the next concert I will go on stage and sing. But, only one song that is all I well sing," I compromised.

"Good, I can’t wait."
