chapter 05
Sunday morning.
Brooklyn woke up and walked into her bathroom washing her face then walking downstairs. She walked into the kitchen and saw JC standing by the frig in his jeans and a white wife-beater, with his back facing her. Brooklyn smiled when she saw him. He looked sexy in those clothes and his hair was a mess. It was adorable.
�Hey, what are you doing?� She said
JC turned around. He smiled. �Good morning�making breakfast.�
�You cook?� She said sitting on top of the counter.
�Sort of�I try.� He laughed.
�Oh great�I won�t get sick will I?�
He walked up to her and stood in-between her legs. Placing his hands on her legs.
�Of course not�Here try my pancakes.� He took a piece from the plate and fed it to Brooklyn. She chewed it up and swallowed it.
She smiled. �Good.�
�Are you lying?�
�Of course not.� She laughed.
JC put his hands on her face and pulled her towards him and kissed her. Brooklyn put her hands on his neck deepening the kiss. She pulled away a few seconds later. She smiled at JC.
�You were waiting for that weren�t you?� She said smiling.
He smiled at her. �Guilty.�
She chuckled. She put her fingers in his hair and messed it up even more.
�What�s up with the hair?�
He laughed. �Didn�t do it this morning, you like it?�
�Uh�no.�
He laughed again. �Ok be honest.�
�Alright. You need to cut it.�
�Ok maybe not�let�s eat.�
She jumped off the counter and sat at the kitchen table. JC brought over the plate of pancakes and they ate breakfast together. After breakfast JC took a shower and then had to go back to the hotel. Brooklyn left a little after him; she had a class to go to.
~*~*~*~*~*~
It was about 9:00pm and Brooklyn was well into work. She was in the back counting inventory, making sure there was enough supplies for each room. Sara walked into the room.
�Hey Brooke.�
�Hi, what�s up?�
�Nothing much.�
�Why do I have to do this?� Brooklyn complained.
�Because you have nothing else to do.�
�Want to do it for me?�
�Nope. I have to go back to work.�
�Why�d you come in here anyway?�
�Oh yeah, you have a phone call.�
�Who is it?�
�I don�t know, they didn�t say.�
Brooklyn stood up from the chair she was sitting in and went to the front desk. Picking up the phone.
�Hello?�
�Hi.� JC said
Brooklyn smiled. �Hi how are you?�
�Good and you?�
�Alright. A little tired. Had to come to work straight from class.�
�Oh, are we postponing our trip?�
�No. I�ll be fine. I get off at 1. I�ll just make you drive so I can sleep.�
�Ok.�
�Brooke is that the guy you�re going to Aspen with?� Sara asked.
�Sara, mind your own business.�
�I want to know who it is.�
�Maybe you already do.�
�Brooklyn�you suck!�
�I know.�
�Does she want to know who�s on the phone?� JC asked
�Yeah, but she�s not going to find out.�
�I hate you.�
�No you don�t.� Brooklyn told Sara as she walked away.
�Anyway�why do you call all the time? Don�t you know I�m working?�
�I�m sorry.� JC said in a quiet voice.
�I�m not trying to be mean.�
�Ok cause I just wanted to say hi.�
�Hi.�
He chuckled. �Well I better let you go back to work. Call me when you get off.�
�At 1 in the morning? Won�t you be sleeping?�
�It�s ok.�
�Ok then. I�ll talk to you then.�
�Ok, bye.�
�Bye.� She hung up the phone just as a customer came to the front desk. It was a group of young pre-teen girls.
�Hi ladies, how may I help you?�
�We wanted to know if the swimming pool is still open.�
�Yes it till 10:00pm.�
�Thank You.�
�Your welcome.�
�I have one more question.�
�Ok.�
�Is it true that JC is staying at this hotel?�
�I can�t give anyone any information, sorry. Are you girls� fans?�
�Yes. We love *NSYNC.�
�Cool�so why are you girls staying here at this fancy hotel?�
�It�s my birthday.� One girl said
�Happy Birthday, how old are you?�
�13.�
�What�s your name?�
�Stephanie.�
�Well you girls have fun. Goodnight.�
�Thanks. Bye.� They all said walking away.
Brooklyn smiled. She had a great idea. She picked up the phone and called JC.
�Hello?�
�Hey JC, its Brooke.�
�Hi.�
�Can you do me a big favor?�
He smiled. �Anything.�
�This group of girls just walked up to me and asked if you were staying her and I told them I couldn�t give any info and they are *NSYNC fans. So I�m asking if you can give the birthday girl an autograph or something.�
�Sure. No problem. What�s her name?�
�Stephanie.�
�Ok. I�ll find something to sign.�
�Alright. Thanks. When can I go pick it up?�
�In like 10 minutes.�
�Ok, bye.�
�Bye.� JC hung up the phone. He decided to just go say hi to the fan in person and sign merchandise she might have. He walked out of his room and downstairs.
Brooklyn was at the front desk. He walked up to her.
�You got a sharpie?� He asked
She looked up. �I thought I was going to go get the autograph?�
�I just decided to give it to her in person.� He smiled.
�Aw how nice. She�s going to freak you know?�
�I know. Can you come with me?�
�Yeah�let me go have Sara watch the desk.� She went to get Sara and told her she�d be right back.
Brooklyn and JC walked towards the swimming pool.
�That�s them.� Brooklyn said.
They walked up to the woman sitting at a table near by the pool.
�Ma�am, are you Stephanie�s mother?� Brooke asked
�Yes I am.�
�We have a surprise for her�we hear she�s a big *NSYNC fan.�
�Yes she is.� The woman smiled.
�JC wanted to come wish her a happy birthday.�
�Oh how great, thank you. She�ll love this.� She told JC.
�It�s no problem.� JC said.
�Hey Stephanie. Come here. Someone wants to say hi.� She shouted.
�Ok Mom coming.� She walked towards the table and as she got closer she noticed JC.
�OMG! JC!� She screamed. She ran up to him, hugging him.
�Whoa!� He said as she almost knocked him over.
She finally let him go. �I�m sorry.�
�It�s ok. Happy Birthday.� He said.
She blushed. �Thank you.�
�Do you want me to sign something?�
�Yeah let me go get it.� She ran inside her hotel room with her friends following her. They all got a picture or two of *NSYNC for JC to sign. He took a few pictures with them and then he had to leave.
�Well girls, it�s getting late and you should be getting to bed.�
�Nah.� They all said
�Ok, but I think it�s my bed time.� He laughed.
They laughed with him.
�Bye JC. Thanks!�
�Your welcome.� He smiled.
They all gave him hugs. Then Brooklyn and he went back to the front desk.
�That was nice of you.� Brooklyn smiled.
�It was your idea.� JC smiled.
�Well Goodnight.� She said
�Goodnight.� He gave her a hug. �Call me after work.�
�Ok, bye.�
�Bye.�
He walked away towards the elevators. Brooklyn walked back to the front desk, getting back to work.
