Chapter Thirty Seven


Jenn bolted upright. Her eyes adjusted to the light.

"Oh God! It's 10am! I have to be at work in a half hour!"

Lance stirred a little and saw Jenn frantically grabbing her shoes and purse.

"What's wrong?" Lance asked sleepily.

"I'm gonna be late for work!" Jenn exclaimed as she continued to bustle around.

Lance propped himself up on one elbow and chuckled.

Jenn stopped, "What's so funny?" she asked.

"You're so cute," Lance said laughing again.

Jenn blushed at the compliment, "Hey you know what would be cuter?"

"Oh? What's that?" Lance asked curiously.

"If you would get up and take me to work," she said crossing the room and pulling Lance from his bed.

"Okay, I'm up!" Lance said. "I still can't believe we fell asleep last night."

"I know, I feel like such a party pooper," Jenn said laughing. "I'm sure Andie and Justin did something crazy like jump out of a plane, and we fell asleep watching "Sixteen Candles"."

"Oh," Lance said, suddenly feeling deflated, "I didn't realize you were so bored."

"Oh no!" Jenn said grabbing Lance. "I loved every minute of last night. I especially loved waking up in your arms this morning," Jenn said, her blue eyes staring into his.

Lance looked down shyly, "I loved having you in my arms."

Jenn pulled Lance close to her and kissed him, catching him off guard, "You're wonderful," Jenn assured him.

"I know, it's a gift," Lance said laughing. "But, if I'm gonna stay in your good graces, I had better get you to work on time."

He grabbed his keys and ushered Jenn out the door.


Joey's cell phone rang for the fourth time.

"I guess I'll get it," Alli said sleepily as she reached over Joey and grabbed his phone.

"Joey's answering service, how can I assist you?" Alli said.

"Hey Alli, It's Chris, is Joey awake?"

Alli looked at Joey, obviously having a good dream, and laughed, "No, I would say he's still unconscious."

"Well, knock him around a little, I need to talk to him."

"Joey, wake up," Alli said, shoving him a little.

"Mmmmm, Allison," Joey mumbled with his eyes still closed.

Alli covered her mouth to keep from laughing, "He's having a very good dream," Alli thought to herself.

"Joey, wake up!" Alli shoved him again, even harder.

"What!" Joey jumped up.

Alli looked at him in shock for a minute, holding out the phone to him.

"I'm sorry, baby," Joey said leaning over to kiss her.

"I didn't mean to interrupt your little sex dream, but Chris is on the phone for you," Alli said, cracking up laughing.

Joey's mouth opened as he took the phone from her, "How did you know about that?" he asked in shock.

"You shouldn't talk in your sleep, sweetheart," Alli said teasingly as she got out of the bed and headed to the living room.

Joey watched her walk out of the room, "Stupid! You're so stupid!" he said to himself.

"HELLO! IS ANYONE THERE?" he heard Chris' voice coming through the phone.

"Hey man, what's up?" Joey said.

"Well, sleeping beauty, Justin called and said Johnny wants to meet with us today."

"Aw man," Joey said falling back onto the bed.

"Anyway," Chris said, a little annoyed. "I'm sure JC is there, so let him know and I'll track down Lance. We need to be there in an hour."

"Okay, I'll see you then," Joey said hanging up the phone.

Joey sat up, "Alli!"

The door cracked slightly, "Yes?" he heard her say.

"Are Jill and JC here?"

"No, it's just us," Alli said opening the door wider, "Why? What's wrong?"

"We gotta meet with Johnny today," Joey said.

"What? You have to go?" Alli said bursting into the room with a tray of food.

"What is all that?" Joey asked surprised.

"It's for you. I thought we were gonna have some "us" time today," Alli said, starting to pout.

"Oh, baby, I'm sorry," Joey said noticing the disappointment in her face. "Let me call JC real quick and then we'll eat. Okay?"

"Okay," Alli said pouting again.


"Hello?" Joey heard Jill's voice. "Hey Jill, is JC around?"

"Yeah, he's in the shower though," Jill replied.

"Okay, can you tell him we're all meeting at the studio in an hour?"

"Yeah, I'll let him know," Jill said hanging up the phone.

She walked over to the bathroom and opened the door slowly. She crept in and pulled the curtain back.

"BOO!" she shouted.

"AAAAHHHHHH!" JC screamed trying to cover up quickly.

"My, my, my," Jill said laughing. "Isn't this interesting?"

"You scared the shit out of me," JC said trying to catch his breath. "I assume you're not here to join me?" JC asked, seeing Jill still fully dressed.

"No, I'm here to give you a message," Jill said trying to keep her eyes on JC's face.

"Oh? And what is that?" JC asked seeing Jill squirm a little.

"Joey said you need to be at the studio in an hour," Jill said pulling the curtain closed and walking out of the bathroom.

"Damn!" she heard JC exclaim.

She walked back into his bedroom, got dressed and grabbed her keys. She heard the water stop running in the bathroom.

"JC, I'm leaving. Call me," she said.

"Hang on!" JC said as he pulled the door open and jogged out of the bathroom.

"Hmmm, seeing you in that towel, kinda makes me want to stay," she joked.

JC snapped to attention, "Why don't you?"

Jill shoved him, "Cut it out!"

"Hey, you started it," he said, pulling her to him.

"Bye JC," Jill said, kissing him.

"Hey, I tried," JC said letting her go.

The doorbell rang.

"I'll get it. You get dressed," Jill said as she headed downstairs.
