| "I should get some pajamas, I'll be right back." She excused herself after a few more minutes with him, to return to her room. "Hurry." He called as he made his way through the room, blowing out candles on the way. He quickly changed into a pair of sweats and a wife beater, then took their dirty dishes to the sink, throwing the blanket onto a nearby chair. "I'm back." She called as she entered the half open door, to find Justin gathering the candles to put them away. "I missed you." He joined her, for a brief second, then pulled her to the bed. Where he sat, then positioned her on his knee. "Your too sweet." Laying her head on his shoulder, she ran a hand across his chest. "I know, you think it comes naturally?" He teased, pulling her closer, then putting a hand with hers. "I would think so, but with you anything is possible." He moved them into a laying position, with her head on his shoulder. The next morning she woke up in the exact same position, Justin's arm holding her close to him. He started to wake, making noises she could only describe as cute, as he stretched his muscles. Pulling himself from his slumber, he took a moment to run his hand along her side, happy to find her there. "Morning." He mumbled as he continued to run his hand along her side, finally resting it at her hip. "Morning, you have no interviews this morning, but rehearsal at two." She announced, rousing him from his still sleepy state. "I don't care, come here." He pulled her closer, if it was possible, then nuzzled his head into her hair. "Are you going back to sleep?" "No." Unconvincingly, he mumbled as he pulled the covers up with his free hand. "MORNING!!" Joey yelled as he entered the room, from the door that connected it to his. "Don't tell me I forgot to lock that." Justin ran a hand along his face, trying to fight off the coming awake. "Afraid so." Joey chimed, as he looked over them. "Morning Jaden." Joey plopped himself down next to her. "Morning Joe." She called from her place on Justin's shoulder. "Are you ready for breakfast?" Knowing the answer, he chose to ask anyway, thinking it would pull them from the bed to join him. "No, and we'll get it later, go wake up Jace." Justin called, still trying to sleep through the commotion. "Fine, but he's not as cute as you." He patted Jaden's shoulder, then left the room to barge into JC's. Seconds later they heard another morning, and were relieved he had chose another victim. "Sleep." Justin moaned, situating the covers again, then settling himself into the bed by adjusting his hips. "I'm going to go shower and change." "Nnoo." He whined keeping his grip on her, trying to convince her to stay. "Yes." She mocked, then removed his arm from her side before hopping from the bed. "I'll be back in thirty minutes, you better be awake." She did return thirty minutes later, but he wasn't awake. "Morning, honey." She crawled on top of him, kissing his cheek to wake him. "I don't wanna get up." "You have to, don't you want to spend time with me before rehearsal?" She inticed, causing him to open his eyes, look at her, then sit up. "Of course, but we can spend time here, in the bed." He fell back, trying to pull her with him, but failing. "Let's have breakfast, Babe." She pulled him into a sitting position, then squeezed herself behind him, holding him up. "I'm up." He laid his head back on her shoulder. "Just got to get to the shower." He pointed to the bathroom, as if he would magically appear there. "Come on." She pushed him off the bed, onto his feet, then toward the bathroom. Finally, he made his way into the bathroom, then started his shower. Once she was sure he had gotten into the shower, she went in search of someone to keep her company. "Come in." A chipper Lance called after she had knocked lightly on his door. "Morning, what are you doing?" She peeked her head in, making sure he was dressed, then took a seat on his bed. "Not much, you?" "Just got Justin into the shower." Playfully wiping her forehead in exasperation, she looked up to where he was standing. "How long have you been awake?" He teased, as he searched through his duffle bag. "It was tough, but I got it done." "Sorry Jaden, but I have to take a shower." He disappeared into the bathroom, leaving her to wander through the hotel for another companion. "Hey Jay." JC pulled her into his room quickly, before Joey spotted him. "Hey Jace." She threw herself onto his bed, looking up at him. "Joey get you up?" He sat next to her, then leaned back on his elbow to look down at her. "Not really, he came by, but we were already awake." "Lucky you, I had breakfast with him." "I'm waiting for Justin to shower to have breakfast." She put her hands to her stomach, making circles an inch above it. "Grumble, grumble, grumble." "Hungry?" JC chuckled at her antics, making the silliness appreciated. "Yeah, slightly." She smiled, then hopped from the bed onto her feet. "Want me to walk you down for breakfast?" "No, I think Justin would get mad if I didn't wait for him." She put her arms above her head, stretching all her muscles. JC tickled her sides, mid stretch, causing her to miss the satisfaction that came at the end of a good stretch. She quickly tackled him onto the bed, tickling him until his face was red with laughter. "Jace, that wasn't nice of you." She pinned his arms with her knees, taking advantage of having the control. "I wasn't trying to be nice." He put his hands to her knees, ready to push her off. "You should try to be nice, then I won't have to do this." She tickled his sides, struggling to keep control as he pushed her knees to free himself. "I'll get you." He said between laughter, still trying to remove her. "You don't have a chance." She said sweetly then hopped off the bed, running for the door. JC a few steps behind her, she removed the key to Justin's room, slid it into the card reader, then pushed the door open, closing it as JC ran into it. "Jaden, I won't hurt you." He called as she leaned against the door, locking it. "Yes you will, I know you." She replied, still panting from her sprint to the room. "Jaden, really, just open the door." He leaned against the other side, trying to catch his breath. "I'm not opening this door. I suggest you go back to your room." She turned to find Justin trying to hold back his laughter. "What'd you do to JC?" He asked, a playful father tone hinting in his voice. "Nothing, but let's order room service for breakfast." |
