Chapter 5
*Chris� Point-Of-View*

I woke up with a start. Joey was still asleep peacefully in my arms.  Someone was knocking on the door to our hotel room. I moved out from under him and looked at the clock.  Eleven thirty.  �Shit, that�s Josh,� I thought to myself.

I opened the door and confirmed my thoughts.  �Hey Josh,� I greeted him, standing aside so he could come in.  �Joey�s asleep.�

�Hey.  Ok, well why don�t you wake him?  We�ve got to leave soon if we�re going to make the movie.� Josh reminded me.

�Yeah, ok.  I�ll be right back,� I told him, turning to walk into the bedroom and shutting the door behind me.  I swear I heard Josh chuckle as the door shut him out.

I crawled onto the bed next to Joey and shook his body lightly.  I leaned down to press a soft kiss on his lips.  He groaned a little as he woke up, but smiled when he saw me above him.  �Hey baby,� he said.

�Hey,� I replied, �Josh is here.  It�s time for us to leave for the movie.�

�Ok,� he responded, standing up from the bed and heading into the bathroom.  �I�ll be right out.�

�All right,� I agreed, heading back into the living room.  I sat down next to Josh on the couch.

�So what�d you guys do since breakfast?� Josh asked with a suggestive smile.

�Oh, we just watched some TV and then fell asleep,� I replied, wondering why he was acting like this.

�Didn�t get much sleep last night?� he questioned.

�Hey, stop.  That�s none of your business,� I snapped, but regretted it when I heard his reply.

�I think it is my business if you don�t want Justin and Lance to find out,� he responded, giving me an angry look.

�Ok, fine.  We need to talk about this.  Joey?  You almost done?� I yelled into the other room.  I wanted to Joey to come help me out.

�Yeah,� Joey replied, coming into the living room and sitting in a chair across from the couch.  �What�s up guys?�

�Well,� Josh started, �Chris here thinks that what you did last night isn�t any of my business.  What do you think about that?�

�Well, I�d have to agree.  We never impose on your love life,� Joey replied, giving Chris a worried look.

�True, but if you guys don�t want Justin and Lance to find out, you better be extra nice to me,� Josh told us with an evil grin.

�Why are you doing this?� I demanded.

�Because I can,� he answered smugly.  �You guys ready to go to the movie now?�

I rolled my eyes and stood up, heading out the door with Joey and Josh.  �How does he change his tone so quickly?� I asked myself, wondering how he could go from angry to happy in a few seconds.

�This should be an interesting outing,� I thought to myself as we climbed into the van.

We arrived at the movies with only a few minutes to spare.  We bought our tickets and some popcorn and soda before making our way into the theater. 

�Now you guys are actually going to watch the movie, right?� Josh joked, his eyes sparkling at us.

�Hey, I thought you were going to stop joking with us,� Joey said, irritated at how Josh was acting.

�Did I ever say I would?� Josh challenged.

�Hey, guys, stop it,� I told them, �let�s just watch the movie.�

�But it hasn�t started yet,� Josh reminded him.

�Then just watch the blank screen.  There�s no reason to argue,� I snapped, glaring at Josh.

�Calm down, baby, just ignore him,� Joey whispered into my ear.

�Ok,� I whispered back, forgetting that Josh was even there once Joey starting touching me.

I was thankful that there were only a few old people in the theater with us, and they were sitting way up front, so they probably couldn�t hear us anyway.  Joey was seating to my left, and Josh to my right. 

I cursed Josh for inviting himself along.  I just wanted to spend some quality time with my boyfriend, but Josh had to be a jerk about the whole situation.  I figured that I could still make out with Joey, maybe Josh wouldn�t noticed.

I moved me hand from my leg to Joey�s massaging his thigh slowly.  Joey glanced up and me and then motioned to Josh with a confused look in his eyes.  I just shrugged and mouthed �who cares about him.�  Joey smiled at me and then looked back at the movie.  But I knew that he wasn�t paying it much attention.

Josh tapped on my shoulder then, distracting me for a second.  �What?� I asked, turning around to face him.

�Enjoying the movie?� Josh asked me.

�Yes, very much, thanks,� I replied coldly, turning back away from him.  �God, what an asshole,� I thought.  �I can�t get any action because he�s watching my every move.�

I leaned over to whisper something in Joey�s ear.  �We�re going to have to wait until later, babe, Josh is watching every move I make.�

�All right,� Joey sighed, obviously upset.  �But once I tell Justin about us, I�m so going to hurt Josh.�

I laughed along with Joey, grabbing his hand.  If I wasn�t allowed to kiss or touch his leg, I was at least going to hold his hand.

The movie was over quickly, but probably because I dozed off a few times.  Josh mentioned a part in the movie I�d missed and Joey laughed as he noticed the confused look on my face.  �Didn�t watch the movie, Chris?  Were you too busy *doing* someone � I mean something � else?� Josh sneered.

�Yeah, Josh, I was *sleeping* thank you very much,� I snapped back, getting really pissed at his attitude.

�Hey, chill man, I was just asking,� Josh replied, �plus, you don�t want to push me if you don�t want Justin and Lance to find out.�

�I�m chilled,� I responded, turning away from Josh, not able to stand looking into those cold eyes anymore.

�Let�s go,� Joey suggested, leading them back to the van.  �What the hell is up with Josh?� he asked himself.  �If he�s in love with Lance then why does he have such a big problem with me and Joey?  Something isn�t right��
