| "I'm taking a shower, see you in a minute." She retreated up the stairs, her cheeks still burning from Justin's harassment on the drive to his house. She thought about it for a minute and was happy Justin was with her and she hadn't had to walk out of the lobby alone. At least Justin had been there to help her laugh it off. "One day you will no longer be a klutz." She glanced over herself in the mirror, not sure it was actually true so she giggled, turning on the water. "Okay, maybe not, but eventually it won't be so embarassing." She assured herself, pulling her clothes from her body then hopping into the shower. "Hilarious, plain and simple hilarious." He chuckled as he carefully situated himself onto the couch, turning on the television with one hand. "What's hilarious?" JC entered the living room, shutting the entry door behind him. "You should have seen it. Brianne and I went to a meeting with Johnny this morning, and as we were leaving she must have been thinking really hard about something, and she walked right into the fountian. Just fell right in, it was hilarious, everyone was looking at her and she turned beet red." By this time JC was laughing right along with him, both haphazardly thrown on the couch, not caring. "I wish I would have been there." "Where were you this morning?" Justin suddenly lost his laughter and looked to his friend for an answer he had been seeking all morning. "Nowhere, don't worry about it." JC continued to laugh, trying to persuade Justin to do the same and forget his curiousity. "Well, Bri is taking a shower, trying to wash off the muck of the fountian." Justin turned his attention back to the television, secretly wanting to hold JC down until he told where he had been. "Poor thing, I'm going to go lay down." He patted Justin's leg as he walked by then up the stairs, finally making it to Justin's bed and laying down to rest for a moment. Twenty minutes later he heard the water turn off in the bathroom, then immediately after Brianne appeared in nothing more than a towel. "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't think you'd be back yet." She tugged at the top of the towel, pulling it to cover her breasts better. Then she quickly made it to her suit case to pull out a change of clothes. "No, I'm sorry, I just didn't expect you to come out undressed." He put a hand over his eyes, sensing her uneasiness. "Give me a second, I'll be right back." She set a hand to his knee, causing him to lift his hand and look at her shimmering body for a second. She returned a minute later, fully dressed to his disappointment in jeans and a baby shirt. "How was your bath?" He pulled her to sit next to him as he sat up, leaning against the headboard for support. "Nice." She leaned against him, letting her damp hair run across his skin, something JC didn't mind at all. "I meant the one at the studio." "That little rat." She pushed herself off him, then turned her head toward the door, screaming. "You better not tell anyone else, or I'll wring your neck!" "I'm not scared of you." Justin returned, feeling a slight pain in his lower abdonmen when he yelled. "You better be, baby, I'm one tough thing!" She leaned back into JC, sure Justin wouldn't comment any farther. "One tough thing?" JC teased rubbing his hand along her side. "That's me." His hand ran up to her hair, wrapping a strand around his finger then pulling it slightly. "Uuumm." He moaned, then quickly ducked her back to get a taste of her. Not satisfied with just her mouth, he moved onto her neck, enticed with the smell of her body wash. "Josh..." Her fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him closer, causing him to nip lightly at her neck, grazing his teeth across her skin. When the moans came fewer and farther apart, he moved to the other side of her neck. His body pushed closer to hers and a slight moan escaped his lips, vibrating her skin beneath his mouth. "That's my bed!" Justin yelled from downstairs, causing each of them to pull reluctantly away then blush. "I didn't realize we were being so loud." Brianne clamped a hand over her mouth, closing her eyes in mortification. "Neither did I." JC stood, pushed the door shut, then returned to the bed, throwing her a whimsical seductive look. "How horiffying." She burried her head in his chest, certian with the fountian episode and now this, she wouldn't be able to face Justin for a while. "It's not that bad, I'm sure he's gotten friskier than we were." He pulled her from the bed, into his arms, and started down the stairs. "No, Josh, no." She pleaded quietly, not sure what Justin would say. "Yes, Bri, yes." He took the first step, and soon he was setting her down on the couch, next to a very amused Justin. "Done already? You need a real man to satisfy you now?" His mischevious smile grew and he threw an arm over her shoulder. "Oh no." She stood, quickly disappearing into the kitchen with JC close behind. "You're too cute." He wrapped his arms around her, turning her to face him in his arms. "Josh, I'm already humiliated, please give me a second." She burried her head in his chest, pulling her hands to cover her face. "Are you busy tonight?" Trying to get her mind off what had just happened, he leaned down to whisper in her ear. Her face turned redder, if it was possible, when his breath hit her neck and a slight moan escaped her lips. "No, not after six." "Not after six?" "Well, I'll have to make Justin dinner, what did you have in mind?" She slowly retreated from his arms, satisfied now that her face would no longer be red. "Have dinner with me, just me and you. We haven't had any time alone in quite a while." He quickly lifted her off her feet and set her on the counter, ready to obtain another kiss. "Of course I will, Josh." His lips quickly crashed down on hers, finally traveling to her neck. "What are you? Animals? I would much rather you do that in my bed than my kitchen." Justin groaned when they parted, looked at him, then JC quickly regained his place at her neck. "Josh, Justin's right." Justin smiled with a sense of achievement, he would part them after all. "We should go to the room." She stuck her tongue out at Justin, then gently pushed JC away from her, hopping from the counter. |
