Chapter 4
They arrived at the restaurant and were seated.
"Wow, this place is
great. Josh, did you pick this?" Bridget asked.
"Ah -- I wish I could take
credit, but no, Justin did." JC answered.
Justin shrugged.
"Good taste,
Justin. " Bridget smiled at him.
"Ahh, thanks" Justin said smiling back at
her.
After they ordered dinner two young fans attempted to approach the
table. Security stopped them before they got too close.
"No, no -- it's ok"
JC said, "let them through."
Bridget watched in wonder as the guys signed
autographs and chatted a few minute with the two girls. They were amazing, all
of them, but she was entranced by Josh. 'What did I do to be lucky enough for
him to come into my life' she thought to herself. The two girls left and
conversation resumed. Dinner came, went and dessert was brought out.
"So
Bridget, other than the move to New York, getting your own place and the gig at
MTV, what else is new?" Justin said sarcastically.
"Ha-ha!" Bridget
laughed "Well, other than that..."
"What exactly do you do for MTV" asked
Joey.
"Well, for my internships that I did, I kinda did a little bit of
everything. But as of right now, I got a permanent job producing TRL, which by
far is the most excitement I've had there." Bridget told them.
"Wow!" said
Lance "You've sure come a long way in the past two years."
"Yeah" Bridget
smiled "things just sorta fell into place for me up here" she said, while never
taking her eyes off JC. If things would fall into place with Josh, she'd be
happy. But she didn't know what to do about that yet. "It's strange how things
work out, ya know." Justin said "I mean, we've been in New York countless times
over the past two years and we only ran into you now."
"Yeah -- maybe it's
fate" Bridget joked.
"What's this about fate?" Josh said, popping out of his
daze.
Bridget smiled. 'He's certainly acting strange' Bridget thought to
herself.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Justin. "So Bridget, and special
guy in your life?"
JC's eyes shot straight up and met Bridget's from across
the table.
"Um, no. Not at the moment." Bridget asked softly.
Another
guy had never crossed JC's mind. It was almost inevitable that she was going to
be taken soon. The way she looked, it was a miracle she wasn't seeing someone
now. JC knew what he had to do. He had to tell her. Lance was right, he couldn't
let her get away this time. The night ended and the six of them got back into
the limo and took it back to Bridget's apartment. Bridget talked to the guys on
the way home, catching up on the old days and the past two years. JC just sat
quietly. As they pulled up to Bridget's apartment, JC snapped our of his daze.
"Well guys, thank you so much for a wonderful time." Bridget said.
"Oh,
your welcome -- we had a great time" said Chris "We'll have to see you again
soon."
"Definitely" said Bridget "Josh? Am I gonna get to talk to you before
you leave?"
"Yeah" JC said.
"Ok then" Bridget said, getting out of the
car. Just as she was about to close the door --
"Bridget! Wait -- " JC said
"I need to talk to you."
