| Dre was grinning, "You guys were phat, I just need you to sign the contracts and we can work on getting you guys out there." Slowly a grin broke out on each one of the guys faces. "You guys can wait outside while I get them and you can have a day to go over them with your dad before you sign 'em." Joshua stood up, "Thank you Dre." The others offered their thanks as they walked outside excited that they would soon be doing what they loved. "Joshua I can't believe it." Lance said grinning at his love. Joshua grinned, "Me neither." "I love you." "I love you too." Joshua said then he thought of something. Joshua pulled Lance to him and kissed him then he began singing, serenading his boyfriend. "I wish I could define All the thoughts that cross my mind They seem too big for me to choose I don't know which ones to lose When I've fallen down so far I think I'll never see your light Bouncing off of me Shining down here from your eyes Help me figure out the difference Between right and wrong, weak and strong Day and night, where I belong Help me make the right decisions Know which way to turn, lessons to learn And just what my purpose is here It's like I got the signals crossed With messages I can't decode Half asleep, never wide awake And on complete overload got so much information here And nothing I can really grasp I should know the truth But I'm too afraid so I have to ask Help me figure out the difference Between right and wrong, weak and strong Day and night, where I belong Help me make the right decisions Know which way to turn, lessons to learn And just what my purpose is here I wanna know you more than anything I meet you in my every dream, you're there for me You love me for who I am, no angel, just an ordinary man Help me figure out why I'm stuck in the middle Tryin' to understand, why I can't, why's it such a riddle Got my eyes crossed, thinking so hard And I know I'm missing the mark Can you help me sort out all this information I'm just wracking my brain, paying attention But I'm still lost and it all costs I, I, I got to know Got to know - oh oh Help me figure out the difference Between right and wrong, weak and strong Day and night, where I belong Help me make the right decisions Know which way to turn, lessons to learn And just what my purpose is here Help me figure out why I'm stuck in the middle Tryin' to understand, why I can't, why's it such a riddle Got my eyes crossed, thinking so hard And I know I'm missing the mark Can you help me sort out all this information I'm just wracking my brain, paying attention But I'm still lost and it all costs I, I got to know Got to know - oh oh Help me" Lance couldn't stop smiling, he couldn't believe Joshua had sung a song to him in front of everybody, "Joshua, I don't know what to say." "Say you love me." Joshua said staring into Lance's gorgeous eyes. "I love you." Lance answered emmediately and he stood up and kissed Joshua. Joshua kissed back with everything he had, he didn't know why he had the sudden urge to sing to Lance, but he's glad he did. Justin, Joey and Chris were giggling over what Joshua and Lance were doing. "That could of been straight from a movie." Joey remarked. "'Titanic' eat your heart out." Justin said causing them all to laugh. Joshua pulled back from the kiss, "I love you." Lance smiled and rested his palms on Joshua's chest, "I love you more and more each day." Joshua blushed slightly and Lance couldn't resist, he lent forward and captured those lips with his own. Dre was watching from the doorway and smiled reminded of when he and Shady were a couple. Dre decided to have a little fun, he cleared his throat, "Boys I have your contracts." Joshua and Lance pulled apart and couldn't stop blushing, Dre bit his lip to keep from laughing. "O-ok." Joshua said breathing hard he reached for them and flushed more at the knowing look in Dre's eyes. "Joshua and Lance can I speak with you for a moment." Dre asked. Joshua reached for Lance's hand, "Sure." And they walked hand in hand into Dre's office. Dre closed the door and walked over to them, "Well I didn't know you two were a couple." "We have only been together for a few weeks." Joshua said. "I'm not going to lie to you this could be a problem," Dre continued before they could cut him off, "But I won't tell you to hide your relationship just be discreet." Joshua nodded, "So you want us to not flaunt it?" "I want you to do whatever's comfortable, if someone asks tell them otherwise don't comfirm or deny." Lance smiled, "Okay." Dre grinned, "From the looks on your faces you know about me and Shady, right?" Joshua and Lance nodded. "Is that gonna be a problem for you?" Dre asked worried. "No, I'm fine with it, so's everybody else." Joshua replied. Dre smiled, "Okay go, I'll see you tomorrow." Joshua and Lance said there goodbyes and left his office to be met with 3 anxious brothers. "What did he say?" Justin asked. "What did he want?" Joey asked. "He told us to be discreet but he's fine with it." Joshua answered. "Did he ask if you knew?" Chris asked. "Yeah he asked if we were alright with it, I said that we all were." "We should go daddy's waiting in the car." Justin said. Everyone agreed and walked outside and quickly found Shady's car and got in. "How was it?" Shady asked as he began to drive home. "It was so great, we sang 'Close' then we did 'Tearin' Up My Heart'." Justin answered excited talking about there 'performance'. "I thought we sang perfect and the dance moves I didn't miss any." Joshua said. "Me neither." Justin said. "None of us did." Chris said. "I know I didn't even though you can be a little distracting." Lance said kissing Joshua behind his ear. Joshua giggled, "You were great." "So were you." Lance said. "How about we go celebrate?" Shady asked, laughing at how hyperactive they all were. "Yeah, lets go to McDonalds." Justin said. "How about we have a chinese?" Joshua offered. "Yeah I want one." Chris agreed. "Me too." Joey agreed. "I'd love one." Lance said. "Okay I want one too." Justin said causing everyone to laugh. "Alright we'll be there soon." Shady said as he headed towards the chinese. The kids continued to talk about their singing right until Shady pulled up at the restaurant. Song used: 'Help Me' by Nick Carter |
