| Chapter 1 - The Plan |
| �Come *on* Joey, Please?� Justin begged looking up at his lover with his best pout. �No, Justin. No way. Don�t even try pouting because it�s not going to work. �But why not?� Justin whined, �please?� He added his best puppy dog eyes to the look for more effect. �Damn you Justin, don�t do that. You know I hate it when you do that. But there�s no way I�m going to do this. How can you even suggest it?� Joey asked, kind of hurt that Justin would ask him to do something so� no right. �But Jooeeey,� Justin whined again, pouting even more if possible. �I want Britney to leave me aloooone.� �Why does that have to involve me?� Joey wondered aloud, trying to figure out how Justin came up with this plan of his. �Because it would be perfect,� Justin exclaimed, jumping up from his seat on the couch next to Joey. �How do you figure?� Joey asked, still not believing it. �Because she won�t suspect a thing. You�re a flirt so she�ll figure that you won�t care about hurting me. Not that you will be hurting me,� Justin rushed to explain, �she�ll just think that you are.� �Huh?� Joey said, confused. �You know what I want you to do. And I know it wouldn�t be hard for you to� you know� do it, �cause you�re bi, right? And Britney isn�t bad looking,� Justin replied, trying to convince Joey to go along with his plan. �Yeah, I�m bi. And Britney isn�t bad looking. She�s no where from it. But that doesn�t mean I want to cheat on you with her,� Joey responded, trying to reason with Justin. �Right, but the best part is that you wouldn�t be cheating! Because this was my idea in the first place!� Justin exclaimed, getting excited. �Wait a second. Don�t get too excited J, I didn�t say I�d do it,� Joey said, smiling at Justin�s childish enthusiasm. �But you haven�t said no in over a minute,� Justin replied, grinning. �That doesn�t mean the answer is yes,� Joey mumbled, frustrated. �But I�m getting closer,� Justin pressed. �Maybe,� Joey finally whispered. Justin jumped into Joey�s lap and hugged him tightly. �Thanks Joe, I owe you one,� Justin said, kissing Joey on the cheek, � I love you babe.� Justin knew that when Joey said maybe, he would always say yes later. He hopped up from Joey�s lap, needing to tell someone about his victory over Joey. Joey just sighed as Justin ran out of the room, wondering just what he�d gotten himself into. **** �Josh! Guess what?!� Justin exclaimed, bursting into Josh�s hotel room which was right across from Joey�s. Josh looked up from his seat on the couch, where he was leaning over a notebook, writing, and gave Justin a curious look. �What�s up, Jay?� he asked, closing his notebook with a sigh. There was no way he�d get any work done when Justin was this excited. �Joey said yes!� Justin exclaimed, smiling while he sat down next to Josh. �He did?� Josh asked, surprised. Justin had told Josh about his plan to get Britney off his back. Josh didn�t necessarily agree with the plan, but he�d tried to change Justin�s mind a few times and was unsuccessful. He had just hoped that Joey would say no. �Well, not exactly,� Justin started, �but he did say maybe. So with just a little more of a push, he�ll do it.� Justin smiled proudly. �Are you sure you really want him to do it?� Josh asked, not really understanding why Justin would want Joey to cheat on him. �Yes! I�ll do anything to just get Britney to get off my back about sex,� Justin replied. �Why don�t you just break up with her then?� Josh suggested the logical option. �Because I don�t want to hurt her,� Justin said. �You don�t think she�ll be hurt if she finds out about this?� Josh questioned, knowing that Britney would be crushed if she knew what Justin was planning on doing. �She won�t find out. Especially from you, right Josh?� Justin said confidently. �Of course not, I just hope you know what you�re doing, Justin,� Josh answered, promising to keep it a secret. He needed to talk to Joey, get him to refuse �the plan.� **** �Justin?� Britney said, raising her voice a little. He hadn�t answered her first two calls. �Out here,� Justin called from the balcony that connected to their bedroom. �Hey, whatcha doing out here?� Britney asked, standing next to Justin who was leaning against the railing. �Thinking,� Justin answered simply. �Are you ok?� she asked, truly concerned. �Yeah, Brit, I�m fine. I just had something I needed to think about,� Justin replied, turning to face her. �You ready for bed then?� she asked, a suggestive look in her eyes. �Yes, but I�m really tired tonight Brit,� he answered, almost rolling his eyes. �But you�re tired every night, Justin,� she whined. �Maybe I�m sick or something, just leave it alone, ok?� Justin snapped, heading into the room. �Fine,� Britney said, pouting, and realizing that she should be happy that Justin would still sleep with her. But she wanted more. She needed to be loved. |
