"So, do you think we should tell Lance or wait till
the movie comes out?" Nina said into the phone.
"Oh, we need to tell him soon." Joey loved Lance like
a brother and the last thing he wanted was for Lance
to think he was holding something from him, especially
someone as close as Nina.
"Alright, when he gets home tonight I'll tell him."
Nina gulped. She didn't want to tell Lance. She knew
he'd over react.
"Call me and let me know what happens alright Nina?"
Joey said.
"Okay Joe." Nina smiled, although she knew Joey
couldn't see her smile of appreciation for his
friendship.
"Well hey, are you going to Tiff's CD release party?"
Joey asked.
"Um," Nina didn't really want to go but everyone would
drag her along anyway, "Yeah I guess."
"Good, towards the end of the night you and I will
tell Lance personally." Joey suggested.
"Okay." Nina answered.
"Later baby." Joey said good-bye to his friend.
"Ciao." And with that Nina hung up the phone.

"That's what you're wearing?" Tiffany looked at me and
my outfit in disgust.
"Yeah." I thought it looked good. I was wearing some
dark denim blue jeans that were torn with a colorful
shirt.
"Um, J, let me dress you." I read in a magazine once
that ever since Tiffany and I started dating my style
has gotten way better. It's true though; Tiff has a
great eye for clothing.
"Ugh, fine!" I complained.
She did a good job though and I loved the outfit she
put on me. It was a pair of black leather pants with a
white muscle shirt that sat underneath a black leather
jacket. She looked sexier than ever. She was also
wearing some tight leather pants that flared wide at
the bottom that sat on her hips with a sparkling pink
shirt that had no back. It was the first time I had
seen her dress like that since we were younger.
Although she was only 23 she always felt as a mother
she shouldn't dress to flashy, "Are you ready?" She
said interrupting my thoughts.
"Yes." I smiled.
"Let's go." She said walking towards the stairs. We
climbed down the stairs to see Rain playing with
Alexis.
"Rain are you sure you can't go?" Tiffany asked.
"Positive babe, besides, I'd rather hang with Alexis
than a bunch of drunk superstars." Rain laughed.
"Alright, bed time is at ten." Tiffany told Rain.
"Alright, y'all have fun." Rain waved us out.

"Justin! Tiffany! Kelly from Entertainment Tonight,
will you have a word with us please?" A reporter
yelled at us.
"Hi." We said in unison. We did that a lot and for
some silly reason reporters loved it.
"Justin, what is it like telling your wife what to
do?" the reporter asked.
"I tell him what to do, he just pretends he tells me
what to do." Tiffany laughed as she squeezed my hand.
"Tiffany, what about your album makes you most
excited?" She finally turned away from me and focused
on Tiffany.
"Well Justin and I co-wrote every song on the album so
it's definitely more personal. We even wrote a song
about our daughter called "16" and I guess it's kind
of like me as a mother telling my daughter what life
as a girl turning into a woman is going to be like. I
can say that's more than likely my favorite song on
the album." Tiffany said. She really knew how to work
the press and the cameras; she knew to stick what with
matters to her most and to be honest.
"What was your reaction to Nina showing herself on the
red carpet?" Kelly asked. I can't believe she asked
that question. I think I was more upset than Tiffany.
It was just causing a fight.
"Nina and I used to be really good friends so I'm not
surprised that she came besides she also dating one of
my really good friends." Tiffany said. I was very
impressed. She didn't say one mean thing about Nina.
"What do you two plan to do tonight?" The reporter
asked.
"Dance, have a good time, and go home to our baby." I
answered.
"Thank you for your time." She said.
"Yep." And we moved to the next set of reporters.

"Hi Tiffany." Lance kissed tiffany's cheek.
"Hey hun, how are you?" Tiffany asked.
"I'm alright, this party is going great
congratulations." Lance said.
"Thanks." Tiffany smiled.
"Hey, um, can we talk?" He said.
"Sure babe, what's up?" Tiffany asked placing her
drink down.
"Um, dance with me?" He asked.
"Sure." Tiffany said taking Lance's hand as they
danced to Destiny's Child's "Emotions".
"Look Tiff, I'm gay." Lance told his long time friend.
"Okay." Tiffany didn't seem to have any real reaction
to what he had just told her.
"You aren't surprised?" Lance asked.
"Um, not really, I kind of guessed, I mean, I'd rather
shop with you before anybody." Tiffany said honestly.
"Oh, well, JC is gay too and…" Lance tried to finish.
"WHAT?" Tiffany exclaimed.
"Yeah and JC wants me to tell Nina about he and I."
Lance said quietly.
"Wait," Tiffany stopped dancing, "Let me get this
straight, okay, you're dating JC and Nina, and JC
wants you to break up with Nina to be with him."
"Exactly." Lance shook his head in agreement.
"Well why don't you just tell her then?" Tiffany asked
bring Lance back into their dance.
"Because, I do love her Tiff, and I really don't want
her to get hurt you know?" Lance's green eyes looked
into Tiffany's.
"Lance, it's going to hurt her more if she finds out
from someone else and not you, and as much as I would
love to see that, that is too mean to do to a woman."
Tiffany advised.
"Thanks Tiff, I'll tell her towards the end of the
party." Lance said breaking into a hug.
"You're welcome." Tiffany said tearing herself away
from Lance, "I'm going to go bug my husband, good
luck."
"Thank you." Lance said.
