Thursday 2:00 PM-Orlando Airport
"Here we are!" Justin said.
"I can't believe this is happening to me…it's all because of you Justin!!" I said and threw my arms around him a big hug.
"Whoa…what's going on here?" said a voice from behind us.
I spun around to see JC Chasez standing behind us, with Justin's mom walking close behind.
"So this is the Jessica Marintino my son has been telling me about," Justin's mom said to me. "I'm Justin's mom, Lynn Harless. You can call me Lynn. Justin tells me you have a wonderful voice. I also saw the tape that Steve, Joey's brother made for you and I have to say, you're an excellent dancer."
"Thank you," I said extending my hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you." I could tell I was still blushing from all those compliments! "Thank you for letting me stay at your house."
"It's not a problem at all."
"Okay Mom, enough talking…we have to get home." Justin cut in.
"Why? What's the big rush?" Lynn asked.
"Nothing, I just don't feel like standing here in this airport much longer."
"Ok honey, well, your bags are being taken to the car right now so you don't have to worry about picking those up. Let's go get the car now, and then we'll be heading home."
We found Justin's Mercedes M-Class and checked to make sure all of our bags were there-they were.
It took us about 15 minutes to reach Justin's house. When we got there, Justin took my bags in for me (aweness!) and showed me my room. Then he offered to take me out. Of course I accepted, but one major drawback…his bodyguard had to come with us. He took me out to a really romantic restaurant, and you could imagine how asinine we looked at a table for two, with a bodyguard right behind us. Then he took me out to the mall, to go shopping for new clothes for Saturday's interview.
Thursday 6:44 PM-Justin's House
We're chillin on the couch in Justin' s room playing Nintendo 64. I pause the game to wipe the hair out of my face, but as I reach up, Justin gets there before me, brushes the hair out of my face, and cups my face in his hands. Then he slowly brings his face to mine, and kisses me. Then we started making out full on.
After about 4 minutes, I stop, breathlessly. Justin has this evil grin on his face that's has "Let's do that again" all over it. I start laughing then suddenly stop.
"Jess…what's the matter?"
"Justin…you know this isn't going to work."
"It can!"
"Don't kid yourself, and don't kid me…we both know that this will never ever work. It can't. What would the fans say?"
"This is bad…real bad…"
"What?"
"Screw the fans!! Jessica, this past week that I spent with you has been one of the best weeks in my life! Am I supposed to stay single my whole life? Am I supposed to give up every great opportunity I have?"
"Well…no. But..."
"But nothing. There is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't."
"Shouldn't do what?"
"This…" and with that he holds me close and kisses me the best I've ever been kissed.
After we pull apart we hear someone clapping, and we turn around to find Joey Fatone standing there with his brother's video camera.
"I can't believe you!!!" I screech. "How could you tape us?"
Joey practically is rolling on the floor laughing. "That was funny, wasn't it?"
"Actually, it wasn't," I said, now giggling myself.
"You didn't really tape us did you?" Justin asked.
"No!!!" Joey replied, but, of course, we didn't believe him, so we watched the tape, and we weren't on it!
"Thank you so much!" I said.
Joey just continued to laugh.
