Chapter 8


JC woke up and turned over to his side. Bridget was still asleep next to him. He got up quietly and made his way out to the kitchen. On the way out he grabbed the phone and dialed the hotel where the guys were staying.

“Hello?” Justin answered.
“Hey man -- it’s me” JC whispered, not wanting to wake up Bridget.
“Hey, Hey, Hey! What’s up?” Justin asked
“Well…we’re um…a couple” JC answered.
“Well I guess so, seeing as how you didn’t come back here last night” Justin said with a note of sarcasim.
“Ha, Ha. Well, settle down there boy, nothing happened” JC said.
“Nothing!? You were there the entire night and -- NOTHING!” Justin exclaimed.
“Relax man. It was a good night. We talked until the sun came up and she feel asleep in my arms.” JC said with a smile.
“Ah…how sweet…” Justin said. “So what are you doin’ talking to me?”
“Well, Bridge is still sleeping so I’m making her breakfast” JC said.
“Wow, that’s great man. I’m really happy for ya. And I got good news.” Justin said, remembering what Johnny had told them earlier.
“Ok, what it is?” JC said anxiously.
“Well, Johnny just called and told us we’re going to here for another week for tour promo and stuff.” Justin said with joy.
“You serious? That’s great!” JC said, absolutely delighted.
“Yeah, they’re tryin’ to get us on TRL, but they’re all booked up.” Justin sighed.
“Well,” JC huffed, “Ya know, my girlfriend is producer, so maybe….”
“Ah, and the man already tries to get favors…” Justin said jokingly.
“Ha! Well, -- no. But seriously I’ll talk to her and see what she can do.” JC said.
“Alright, sounds good” Justin said, “Well, I’ll let you go, Betty Crocker.”
“Very funny!” JC said “Alright, I’ll be back later on” “Take your time man, we don’t start ‘work’ till tomorrow” Justin answered. “Alright, thanks man. I’ll talk to you later” JC said.
“Bye” Justin said hanging up the phone.

JC whistled to himself while making eggs, bacon, toast and starting a pot of coffee. Just as he was finishing he felt two hands wrap around his chest. He quickly turned around to see Bridget’s sweet face starring up at him.
He kissed her sweet lips. “Good morning gorgeous” he said.
“Well, good morning yourself” Bridget smiled.
JC smiled. “Ya know I could get used to this – waking up with you…” he said while still holding her close.
“Josh, we’ve roomed together before.” Bridget said.
“Yeah, well, this is a little different” JC smiled.
“Definitely” assured Bridget.
Bridget turned around to see the spread JC had made, Her eyes wide with amazement.
“You cook?” she asked.
“I try” JC smiled.
Bridget laughed. “I love you, JC” she said, holding him close.
“I love you too, Bridge” he said kissing her on the nose. “Now, let’s eat.”
“Sounds good to me!” Bridget smiled.
