chapter 2*
(Danielle's dream that night)
"JC can you hand me two eggs." Danielle said
"Sure." he said handing her two eggs.
"Thanks."
"Um...I'll make the toast if you want?" he said grabbing the bread.
"Go ahead." Danielle said while moving out of his way.
"I'll move over here so you can have more room." JC unplugged the toaster and the outlit plug sparked.
"Whoa!" JC jumped.
"You alright?" Danielle questioned concerned. He shook his head and continued to move the toaster.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning Joey and Lance walked out of Kimberly and Danielle's guest bedroom.
"Yeah, I went upstairs last night and I was watching her sleep." Lance said as him and Joey walked down the stairs.
At the same time Danielle was leaving her room and heard what Joey and Lance were saying.
Out of nowhere she yelled, "STALKER!" At the same time the lights turned back on and Joey and Lance fell down the stairs.
Justin, JC, and Chris were sleeping down in the living room on the couches, and they woke up when the lights went back on and they saw two people falling down the stairs.
Kimberly came out of her room to see what happened. She had just gotten out of the shower so she had on her silk baby blue robe and her hair was still wet.
"What happened?" she asked
"They fell down the stairs." Danielle said walking down the stairs. "Oh and Kimberly remind me to lock my door at night." she said
"O-K, whatever." She went back into her room. When Kimberly went back in her room she didn't notice the three pair of eyes staring at her.
"Damn!" Justin said with is tongue hanging out.
Danielle walked into the kitchen. JC walked into the kitchen and saw her.
"Hi JC, good morning." Danielle said
"Hi Danielle, you sleep well?" he asked
"Yeah I guess?...It's kinda different though, new house and all."
"Yeah. So what you makin' me for breakfast?" he asked
"What? Why you askin' if I'm makin' you breakfast? It's for me!" she joked
"Fine." he played along.
"Just messin' with ya." she said giving him a hug. He was shocked at the sudden hug, but he hugged her back. He hugged her tight and held her in his arms, wishing for something to happen. Danielle didn't mind, but she could now tell that maybe he had feelings for her. Not to be mean she just let him hug her till she was finished. JC finally realized that he was hugging her for a long time. So he let go of her.
"I'm so sorry...I didn't mean to..." he trailed off.
"It's ok, I don't mind a few long hugs her and there." she smiled at him. When she smiled at him, he became weak and had butterflies in his stomach. He smiled back.
"Would you like some help?" he asked
"Sure, can you hand me two eggs?" she asked
"Yeah." he handed her two eggs.
"Thanks."
"Um...I'll make the toast if you want?" he said grabbing the bread.
"Go ahead." she said while moving out of the his way.
"I'll move over here so you can have more room." JC unplugged the toaster, the outlit plug sparket.
"Whoa!" JC jumped
"You alright?" Danielle questioned concerned. JC shook his head and continued to move the toaster.
Everyone finished breakfast. The guys went back to their house and Danielle and Kimberly went to work.
They used to work in L.A. but their manager Susan moved them to the same resturant up state. Kimberly and Danielle were bartenders for the bar since the resturant was half bar and club. When they moved they were both promoted assistant managers. They were excited about that.
Danielle and Kimberly got back home around noon and the guys offered to help them move their furniture, they drove down to L.A. to get some of their furniture and other belongings.
JC, Justin and Chris were carrying in the last piece of furniture. The time had went by fast, it was already 10:00pm. As the guys were setting it down the lights went out again. They'd been going off and on all day because of the weather.
"God damnit!" Justin said.
"Ahhhhh!" There was a loud scream from upstairs.
All the guys ran upstairs and into Danielle's bedroom. They walked in and saw Kimberly hitting Danielle with a pillow.
"You bitch! You scared the shit out of me!" Kimberly said.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Danielle said while laughing.
"No you're not." Kimberly said as she chucked the pillow at Danielle knocking her off the bed.
Danielle laughed even harder.
"I fall off the bed too much." she laughed.
"You girls alright?" Joey asked.
"Yeah, we're fine. Danielle's just trying to scare me." Kimberly said.
"Ha! I already did!" Danielle said dodging the flying pillow and ran downstairs.
Danielle and Kimberly cooled down and the guys helped them unpack.
Lance was upstairs with Danielle in her room. The lights were still out and they had put candles threw out the house.
"So Danielle, do you like this place?" Lance asked.
"Yeah I do actually. And my job is going great." she said.
"That's always good, where do you want these?"
"In the bathroom."
"Okay." he said walking into the bathroom.
There was a little puddle of water in the middle of the floor because earlier when Danielle scared Kimberly they accidently spilt some water. Danielle forgot to clean it up. All of a sudden she heard a big thump. She ran into the bathroom and found Lance on the floor holding his head.
"OMG! Are you okay? What happened?" she said kneeling down beside him, she held his head up.
"Yeah I'll be fine." he said.
"Did you cut yourself?" she said checking.
"I don't think so."
"Aw! You have a little bump on your head and it's cut a little. It's not that bad it'll be alright."
"It still hurts."
"Aw! Come here." she said kissing the part of his head where he hit it.
She looked down at Lance and saw him looking at her.
"What?" she asked.
He didn't say anything.
"What? What are you looking at?"
"You." he said finally.
"Why?" she said standing up.
"Okay you wanna know why?" he said also standing up. "I don't know why or how but I really like you. There I finally told you."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
She was quiet for a while.
"So?" he asked.
"So...umm...I can't, I mean let me think about it." she said.
"Okay I'll let you think about it. Tell me when you're ready." he said.
"Okay." she said as she watched him leave the room.
"OMG! I had no idea he liked me. What am I going to do? Should I go out with him? I don't know." She said talking to herself.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile...
Kimberly and Justin had went to the store to buy groceries.
"Oooo..let's get some Apple Jacks." Justin said
"Yeah, you like Apple Jacks too?" Kimberly said
"Yeah, you do?"
"Yep."
"Cool."
They were shopping for another 10 minutes. Then decided that was enough and they were gonna leave. They left at the perfect time, cause some crazy fans spotted Justin and ran after him. Kimberly and Justin made it into the car safely with groceries in hand. Kimberly drove off.
While they were in the car they had a good conversation. Justin was thinking of the right time to tell her. As they drove up into the garage, Justin decided to tell her.
"Kimberly, wait! I have to tell you something." he said
"Ok, go ahead."
"Ok um...well when I first met you I thought you looked very beautiful." Kimberly blushed. "And a cool person, and you are. And I've come to tell myself that I really-" he was cut off by Chris and Joey running out of the house into the garage.
"FOOD!" they both said as they went to the trunk to get the food.
They took some of the food inside and totally ruined Justin's chance to tell her he liked her. Damnit! Why'd that have to happen. It was the perfect time...Well I'm gonna have to find another way to get her alone with me to tell her.' Justin thought to himself as he took the rest of the groceries into the house.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(The next day)
Danielle was outside in the backyard playing basketball. The basketball court was already there when they moved in, the people before must have put it in.
JC saw her from inside his room and went down to join her.
"Hey Danielle." he said
"Oh, hi!" she said catching the basketball from the hoop. "What's up?"
"Nothin' much just really board." he said
"Wanna play one-on-one?" she asked
"Sure! I'll beat you though."
She chuckled. "Yeah, whatever man...I bet you 10 dollars I'll beat you."
"Ok deal." they shook on it
"My ball first."
"Ok." she dribbled down the court and went and made a lay-up.
"That's 2 to nothin'!" she threw the ball to him.
"You got that one easily.:
"Yeah sure!"
He dribbled down the court as Danielle defended him. He saw that she always watched the ball.
"Why do you watch the ball? Aren't you supposed to watch the opponent?"
"Yes and no. My coach in high school wanted us to watch the ball and at the same time you can see their feet and you know where their going...Ok your trying to distract me. Keep playing."
"Ok." he passed right by her and knocked her down. As he went for the basket to get two points.
"Oh are you alright?" he asked helping her get up.
"Yeah I'm fine."
They continued to play, after a while they took a break and went inside to get some water, then came back out. JC came up behind Danielle and poured water down her back.
"OMG! That's cold!" She turned around and threw water at him
"Ah!" he screamed she ran. "Get back here!" he got her again with water and she paid him back with water in his face. They kept going on an on until they ran out of water.
Meanwhile...
Lance was watching from his room window. He saw them fooling around and they were pulling each other down. And being very close, he got jealous.
Danielle ran behind the house as JC ran after.
Lance couldn't see them anymore. "SHIT!"
-----
"Got ya! your trapped now can't go nowhere." JC said pouring water on her once more.
"Ah! your mean!"
"What I'm just trying to cool you off...Cause you know you really hot."
"And in which way do you mean that?"
"You know...like this.." he said leaning into kiss her. Right before his lips touched hers. She stopped him.
"JC I can't do this."
He stood up straight again. "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to be..." he said
"It's ok. It's just that right now I need to settle down. A lot of new things are happening and I need time to process it all." she laughed, JC did also.
"That's alright. But when you have everything processed. Just call me and I'll be there." he said giving her a hug.
"Thanks." she said giving him a little peck on the cheek. And he was a little shocked
"That's all you get!" She laughed "Oh and can I have my 10 dollars, I won the game!"
"No you didn't."
"Yes I did! pay up!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Kimberly I need to talk to you." Justin said
"Ok I need to go upstairs and get something, be right back."
"Ok." he said then went into the kitchen.
-----
Kimberly was walking down the stairs and at the bottom of the stairs she tripped. For her luck Justin was walking by and he caught her fall and she fell on top of him. There was that one little spark of lust. Justin was going to take his chances.
"Kimberly I like you...A LOT." he said
She smiled. She was about to say something but Danielle interrupted them. Danielle walked out of Kimberly's room and saw her on top of Justin.
"Oooo...what ya two doin'? Gettin' a little kinky I see!" She laughed
They laughed.
"No I fell down the stairs and Justin happened to be there to catch my fall." Kimberly said getting up.
"Sure, but anyways I need your help."
"Okay." Kimberly said going with Danielle and leaving Justin hangin'.
While Justin and Kimberly were having their moment. Joey had saw it all and got pissed at Justin and very jealous. He reminded himself to talk to Kimberly later.
JC, Danielle and Lance.
