Chapter 9- Dinner and a movie

*** Amanda ***

As I walked into my room, I saw Amber and Krystl sitting on the bed laughing. Amber was on the phone with T.J. Britney must be staying at this hotel also.

"What's so funny?" I ask them.

"Nothing," they respond through giggles.

"I have no idea what I'm going to wear tonight." I say sadly.

"We do!" they say.

"No, T.J., I'm talking to Amanda." Amber says into the phone.

Krystl points to the conjoining doors. I open the door and find a beautiful baby blue dress on the door. A note was pinned to it.

Amanda,

I saw this dress and thought of you, so I asked you to dinner. This a beautiful dress for a beautiful woman. I can't wait to see you in it. Don't worry, the shoes are in the closet, and the purse is in the bathroom.

Love,

JRT

I ran to the closet, and there, just like the note said, were the shoes. Then I ran to the bathroom. A jewel covered purse was sitting on the sink. Dinner was soon, so I hopped into the shower. As I got out, I heard Amber answer the door. I didn't know what it was about. I quickly dry my hair and get dressed. On the bed there's 11 long stem roses. The girls left me a note saying that they went out with Chris and T.J. I stop and take a look at myself in the mirror.

"Wow, I look so much different in expensive clothes." I say aloud.

As I walk out the door, I almost run into Lance.

"Wow! Hot Date!" he exclaims seeing me.

"Ha ha. Justin invited me to dinner.” I answer.

“Oh, is there something the rest of us need to know?" He asks.

"NO!" I answered "Unfortunately," I whispered turning around.

"Oh," he mumbled quietly.

'Did he hear that?' I think to myself. 'Oh well, off to dinner.' When I got there, Justin was waiting at the table with one long stemmed rose. The last one in the set.

"You look so beautiful," he said getting up to pull the chair out for me.

As I sat down, he kissed my gently on the cheek. I couldn't believe he actually kissed me. Dinner was wonderful. We talked and laughed right through it. He looked so amazing. Every once in a while, a girl would come up and ask for his autograph. I couldn't blame them. After all, he is Justin Timberlake.

"What was wrong in Canada? It still seems to be bothering you."

"Well, um.. you see at the interview.... "

"Hey guys." J.C. interrupts.

"What are you doing here?" I rudely ask.

"Oh, well, um, we're all renting a movie to watch."

"Ok" Justin says avoiding answering the question.

He paid the check and went upstairs to our rooms. I quickly changed into my pajamas and went into the other room. When I sat down I started rolling my neck around. Justin's strong hands slowly started rubbing my neck and back. It felt so great. I looked around the room, and Amber was asleep in T.J.'s arms. She was happy when he was around.

"They look so happy with each other," Justin said noticing them.

"Ya." I said falling asleep.

Justin must have thought I was asleep, because he lifted off the floor and onto his lap. I turned my head and looked at him.

"Oh, sorry. I thought you were asleep."

"It's okay with me, but are you okay with this?" I asked.

"I put you here, didn't I?" He said with a smile.

I saw T.J. take Amber back to her room, and he left before I cuddled up to Justin and fell asleep. Morning came, and I found Justin was still holding me. A rush of pure joy came over me. I had always dreamed of falling asleep in Justin's arms. I slowly moved my hands so they were over his. I was a little surprised when his hands grabbed mine and held them tightly. I tried to fall back asleep, but Justin wouldn't let me. He started tickling me, and when I tried to get away, I fell on the floor. I tried to run away, but Justin was quicker than me. I almost ran out of the door, but I stopped suddenly, remembering the press was outside. They would have a lot to write about if a girl came out of the "guys" room in her pajamas. I turned around too late. I was trapped. Justin couldn't stop tickling me. I tried to run, but he caught me and brought me face to face with him. We were both breathing hard from running around the room. Justin softly leaned in and wrapped his arms around me. Slowly and passionately, he kissed me. My heart was racing, and my mind went blank. My knees went week, and I thought I was gonna faint. We were interrupted when J.C. saw us and yelled,

"Finally!"

Justin and I laughed and looked deep into each others eyes. 'He's so wonderful.' I thought to myself. He takes me by the hand and we return to the couch. Thoughts started running through my head. 'Did he really kiss me?' I thought trying to relive the moment in my mind.

"What are you yelling about, J.C.?" Chrissy says from the other room's doorway.

Joey was right behind her, also with a questioning look on his face.

"Where's everyone else?" I ask, trying to change the subject.

"Lance and Marta joined Amber and T.J. for breakfast really early." Chrissy answered.

"Now, tell us what happened!" She begged.

"Justin finally kissed Amanda." J.C. said happily.

Justin turned on the t.v., ignoring the conversation. He turned and kissed me again. The touch of his lips on mine was so exciting, and his arms were so comforting. We were encompassed in our own little world, and to us no one else was around. I had to open my eyes, just to make sure I was not dreaming. I saw J.C. whisper something to Michelle, who had just woken up. He pulled her close and kissed her. I had to stop kissing Justin, which was very hard to do, to yell,

"Way to go, Bean! Right back at you, J.C.!"

"You haven't called me that in so long." Michelle said.

"So I haven't....." I was cut short by a kiss from Justin.
