| Justin's jaw almost dropped, he hadn't thought he had recognized him. "Every since he saved me." Tiffany joked, settling into the couch next to her brother. "Saved you?" Joey repeated, wanting the full story. "Yeah I locked my keys in my car at the car wash. And my cell was off, so I asked him to watch my car while I walked here to get the extra keys. Then rewarded his good behavior with dinner." "He's lucky then, you cooked for him?" "No we ordered pizza. Colton's idea." She explained, as Justin and Colton took the seat next to her. "You gotta get her to cook for you." Joey said to Justin. "Oh she cooked for me last night. The best chicken I've had in a while." "Uh huh, zesty italian? It's good." "Yeah that's what we had." "Your lucky." Joey fake pouted, sure he would get his sister to cook for him also. "Oh don't pout your getting Fetticcine Alfredo tonight." She scolded playfully. "Really? You are the best!" He hugged her, then watched as Justin took her hand in his. "How long were you going to keep this a secret?" "We just starting dating actually." Tiffany watched Colton for any signs of boredom. "Uh huh, sure, you just didn't want me to come check him out." He paused to laugh. "Don't worry, anything he does wrong will end up in the media, he can't be that bad, he's constantly in the public eye." "So no third degree?" Justin took an overly astonished look, then smiled. "Naw, sorry to dissapoint you." "Yeah I guess I am." Justin said squeezing Tiffany's hand in the hot water. "Yes very." Joey emphasised, pushing the hot tub water around in front of him. "You aren't that lucky. Ya'll act like I am some supermodel or something." She scolded, hoping they wouldn't notice the pink in her cheeks. "You're better than a supermodel, you have brains." Justin said as he kissed her on the cheek. "Hey, hey now none of that in front of me." Joey joked. "Ya'll make me feel lonely." "I can fix that, Lucy wants you." Tiffany was happy a chance had come up to tell him, bringing up the conversation herself may have proved to seem like she thought he was desperate. "The little cutie at your office?" "The one and only." "I may take that offer." Joey stroked his chin playfully then glanced at his watch. "You should I think ya'll would make a good couple." "Then we could double." Justin joked, sliding his arms around Tiffany. "Oh yeah sis, I think I may move down here, I came to look at houses." "Please do, I don't see you enough!" She was excited by the possibility. "Well I am going to look around tomorrow, I gave a music shop up here and offer to sell. It's a low offer but if they take it I could expand the business." "Look at you, settling down are we?" "I figure it's time to invest my money into a business, and grow up a lil." "No more parties?" "I didn't say that." He laughed, then rolled his neck. "Oh yeah, I'm having a party Saturday for my kids, they will be so excited to see you." "Then I won't make any plans for then." "Good the kids will be so happy." "But I have jet lag like no other. I'm going to bed. Good night ya'll." He kissed Tiffany on the cheek and shook Justin's hand. "Will you put Colton in bed?" Tiffany asked, sure Colton would be tired, and not wanting to leave the hot tub. "Of course." He walked into the house, leaving them to entertain themselves. "So what we gunna do now?" Justin wiggled his eyebrows, then she climbed into his lap, knowing he wouldn't take it too far. "What ya wanna do?" She whispered, as she started nibbling on his neck. He let out a little moan so she knew he liked it. She lightly kissed his neck one last time then kissed him on the lips. "Bed time?" "Yeah ..... sure." He mumbled, not sure he wanted to leave the heaven he was in. Soon she was wrapping herself in a towel, so he climbed from the hot tub and did the same. Just as she was about to walk from the room he pulled her to him, letting his lips lightly graze hers. "I love you." "I love you, too." Looking up at him, she felt the tears brim her eyes, then looked down hoping he wouldn't notice. "What's wrong?" "You are the only person who has said that to me in a year, except the kids and my brother." "I didn't say it I meant it." He pulled her to rest against his chest then let out a sigh of relief. "I know, so did I." She whispered into his neck, then went into the living room, where she got a sudden gleam in her eye. "Race you to the room." She called over her shoulder as she ran up the stairs. He ran after her, finally catching up to her seconds before she enetered the room. He quickly scooped her into his arms then took the last couple of steps to the bedroom, playfully throwing her on the bed. "See niether of us wins." "No fair! I wanted to win." "I just saved you from the embarassment of losing." "You think so huh?" "No, I know so." "Ok, I'm going to change. My bed's all wet now." "I guess I should, too." They both walked into her closet. He had put all of his clothes on one side before dinner. He let out a little laugh as he looked through the clothes. "What's so funny?" She turned to look at his side of the closet, not sure what would be so funny about his clothes. "I was just thinking now that your brother may be living in the area, I may have to move in." "I might just make you." "Make me? I don't think you'd have to go that far." "You can change in the bathroom I'll change here." "Ok." He left her after depositing a kiss on her cheek. When he had opened the bathroom door to show he was done, she brushed her teeth with him. Then washed her face, leaving him to wash his face alone. "Tiffany?" He walked into the bedroom, then finally noticed a trail of rose pedals leading out into the hallway. He followed it to find Tiffany in another room, filled with candles. |
