| "You are going to announce it today?" "Yeah and something else." She waited for him to continue but he didn't. "What?" "I have a new girlfriend." She could see his happiness. "Are you ready to go public?" "I am if you are." "How will your public take this? I mean announcing the break up with Britney the same day you announce a new girlfriend?" "I'll just explain that me and Brit broke up a long time ago and we didn't want the stories to get nasty and exagerated, so we waited. Then I met the girl of my dreams and I had to tell the world." He kissed her. "Well if you put it that way, then we should go public. But no addresses or anything like that." She giggled. "Ok, if you insist." He paused. "What about-" He was interupted by his ringing cell phone. He reopened it. "Hello, yeah, I'm sorry, today-" Tiffany heard the woman he was talking to yell 'god dammit, Justin'. She looked up at him with concern in her eyes. "No, that's not what I was thinking, sorry," He ran his hand through his hair, he was stressed. "You knew, look I have to go, yeah, bye." He looked as if he might throw the phone across the room as he shut it. Tiffany pulled it from his tight grip and set it down on a nearby table. "Unpleasant news?" "Brit, she's very mad. Said she would tell the press about us sleeping together and how I lead her on." "Oh no." "She won't do it. It would hurt her image more than mine. She's the one waiting until she's married." He chuckled. "I hope not. That would hurt the whole group." She paused. "Plus she has gotten enough satisfaction out of this." "What do you mean?" "Well I'm not positive, but by the looks she was giving me that night I think she got a lot out of it." "Looks?" "I dunno, it looked like she was gloating cause she was with you and not me." She shook her head in confusion. "You should ask JC, he was the one who noticed them." "I may just do that." "So when do you have to leave for your interview?" "In about thirty minutes." He said looking at the clock. "Then you better get your sexy ass in the shower." "I love it when you talk dirty to me." He teased as he kissed her. He picked out some clothes and walked to the bathroom door. "Coming?" "No you only have thirty minutes." He gave her puppy dog eyes then walked into the bathroom. "Yummy." She said once he was out of earshot. "You think so." He called back. She blushed. "Don't get too red, you'll look like you have a sunburn." "You know me too well." She said as she walked into the bathroom. He kissed her passionatly. "How bout I skip the shower? I can get one later." He kissed her neck. "mmm sounds good to me." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- She flipped on the radio just as the interview was starting. She heard the DJ introduce them one by one. Like they need to be introduced. The interview was fairly boring at first. Questions about the new album and the tour. "So how is Britney these days?" The DJ asked obviously talking to Justin. "Well I wouldn't know." Justin paused for effect. She could here him smiling. "We are not together anymore." Justin stopped there obviously waiting for the DJ's next question. "Any new girls in your life?" The DJ asked knowing he was the first to report it. She could here the satisfaction in his voice. "No, not girls, just one woman." "Already? How long ago did you and Britney break up?" "Awhile ago, we didn't want to go public, we were afriad the stories would get nasty." "So why now?" "I found someone I love and I wanted the world to know." She could tell he was beaming by this point. "Can you tell us anything about her?" The DJ asked carefully, obviously afraid he would step over an unspoken boundry. "Yeah, her name is Tiffany, she owns a daycare in Oralndo." He paused. "That's how I met her." He explained. "Well she is one lucky lady, to snatch the Justin Timberlake." The DJ said half joking half serious. She sat listening intently through the rest of the interview. She was having second doubts but it was too late now. She hoped this wouldn't effect her daycare, or her, too drastically. When the interview was over she took a shower and quickly got dressed. She was hoping Justin was back. She walked into the room to find all the guys. "Hello." She said to get thier attention. Chris and Joey were wrestling in the floor nearby. Justin, JC, and Lance were having a quiet conversation near the desk. "Hey, Angel." Justin said as he stepped over Chirs and Joey to give her hug. "I missed you." He playfully whined. "Aww, you poor thing." She waved to all the guys. They nodded thier heads in return. "I heard your confesion of love." She teased Justin. "Yeah Brit is mad." JC explained. "Oh well." Justin mummered from Tiffany's neck. Joey pulled her away from him and pulled her into a bear hug. Him and Chris had just given up on the wrestling match. "Can I confess my love to you in our next interview?" He joked. "Ya'll flip a coin or something, then you can all take turns." Chris pulled a quarter out of his pocket. "I call heads!" He yelled as he threw it into the air. "She's all mine." Justin pulled her back to him. She gave a playful look of apology. "As I was saying," JC started, "Brit is pissed. She called me nonstop this morning. She wanted me to talk you out of it." He looked at Jusitn. "She'll get over it, and if not oh well." Justin stole a kiss from Tiffany. "I hope she doesn't start any trouble. That's the last thing we all need." Lance jumped into the conversation. "She won't, it would be worse for her than us." Justin pointed out. They all shook thier heads in agreement. "Well, let's have some luch. We have soundcheck soon." Joey headed for the door. "We'll be right down." Justin called to them as they left. He waited while Tiffany put her shoes on. "I love you." "I know I heard about that." She teased. "Oh did you? It was supposed to be a secret." He pulled her to her feet and led her out the door. |
