| "I didn't expect this." She looked around the new bus, surprised they would go as far as to buy a new bus to accomondate her. "Well you have to be close to me." Justin wrapped his arms around her from behind, burrying his head in her neck. "Which one is mine?" She looked over the bunks. "The one below me, right here." He pointed to the middle bunk on her right, then turned her around in his arms. "Justin, don't get that look in your eye." She dropped her eyes to avoid direct eye contact, because his eyes were telling her his every desire. "Can we talk? It's nothing bad." Nodding her head she lead him to the back room for some privacy. Once he had settled on the couch, with her in his arms, she laid her head on his shoulder. "What did you want to talk about, Babe?" "I just need to talk to you about what I have planned so far." "Don't worry, Johnny already told me everything." "Oh, then I guess we'll just have to think of something else to do." He pulled her closer to him, nuzzling his head in her neck. "Justin, you have a interview in thirty minutes, you better get ready." She lifted herself off of him, then pulled him from the couch. "I don't want to go, can I call in sick?" He whined, already gathering a change of clothes. "You have to go, your public awaits." She left him alone, to change his clothes. "Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?" Surprisingly, JC asked, without pulling her to somewhere private. "Of course, what do you need to talk about?" She walked with him to the front of the bus, to have a seat at the table. "Are you up to getting Joey still?" He took her hands in his, a sly grin taking his lips. "You know I am. When you want to do it?" She licked her lips mischeviously. "Tonight, we aren't staying at the hotel, but we can do it." He rubbed his thumbs down her wrist, coaxing her to agree. "Sounds good, you get me when you are ready." Kissing his cheek quickly, she stood and turned to find Justin. "Hey, what's up?" Wrapping his arms around her waist, he pulled her to him. "Nothing, just a little chat, right JC?" She called over her shoulder, while putting her arms around Justin's neck. "Yeah, just a chat." JC stood to exit the bus. "I don't like the sound of that." "Don't worry, Babe. If it was important you'd know." She slid her hands up and down his back, then into his hair, knowing he wouldn't argue. "Whatever you say, hon. I better get going." He edged around her, leaving her to work on his schedule for the day. She pulled out her cell phone, called Johnny to confirm all the dates, then made lunch for the men before they returned. It may have been just been peanut butter and jelly, but at least she knew the men would eat something before they took off for rehearsal. "Hey guys, peanut butter and jelly for everyone." She held out a plate of sandwiches for them to take, instead they each grabbed a sandwich, leaving her with an empty plate. "Thanks." They yelled as they made their way to get ready for rehearsal. "Welcome." She said, just above a whisper, looking down at the plate. "Anything on my schedule for Friday after the concert?" Justin pulled the plate from her hands, then placed it in the empty sink. "Not that I know of, you making plans?" She pulled the PDA he had given her from the counter top, then began looking for his Friday schedule. "Yeah, dinner, my hotel room, be there." He playfully ordered, putting a hand on her hip. "If nothing else comes up, I would love to." She raised herself onto her tip toes to kiss him, then pet his shoulder to gently tell him to leave for rehearsal. "I guess I better go, see you Friday." He called as he jogged out of the trailer, waving to her. "Thanks for lunch, see you later." JC pecked her cheek before walking out of the trailer to join the other men who had already walked by. "Yeah, see you tonight." She grinned mischeviously, thinking of how much fun they would have that night. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Come on, you have to come." Justin whined, trying to convince her that watching the show would prove to be fun. "Justin, I don't want to. Jace will lick the stage, you'll flirt with the girls, Lance will mess up, and Joey and Chris who knows. But I have obviously seen the show before." She shook the wooden spoon from the gravy she was making at him, causing him to take a step back. "Jaden, I didn't hire you to cook, I hired you to take care of my appointments." "Justin, taking care of your appointments doesn't take all day. Appointments are made for you as a group and the information just comes to me. Besides, if you had a craving for biscuts and gravy I would make them for you. It's no different for Lance, I am happy to do it." "I have a craving for you to come to the show." He informed, knowing she would give in, when he used her own words against her. "Ok, I'll go, but only if you will take this to Lance." She handed him the finished plate of biscuts covered in gravy, then watched him make his way to the back room. She followed him, picking up dirty clothes from around the bus on the way. "Thanks Jaden." Lance called from where he was enjoying her dish. "Tomorrow I am going to do laundry, if you have any you need done, put them here." She threw the clothes she was holding in a corner of the room showing the men. "Are you sure?" JC called, already making his way to his bunk to gather his clothes. "Yeah, have them there before you leave in the morning." She looked around making sure all the men heard her, then joined Justin on a nearby couch. "Sit with me for five minutes, you've been up all day." Pulling her closer with one hand, he used the other to grab her hand. "It's better than sitting around all day." "Jaden, can you take this to a one hour dry cleaners for me?" JC held up a shirt for her approval from the doorway. "Of course, put it in my bunk." Laying her head on Justin's awaiting shoulder, she enjoyed her moment of silence with him. "Let's go guys." Joey walked by, hitting their knees purposely. "We're coming, give us a minute." Justin watched them walk from the room, then turned to Jaden. "Babe, don't do anything you don't want to for these guys, they'll understand if you don't want to." "Justin, I want to, ya'll are very busy, and I love to do anything I can do to help." |
