"This is your captain
speaking. We have now reached maximum altitude.
It is now fine to get up out of your seat. Please keep your seatbelt on
while sitting. Remember this is a non-smoking flight. We will be arriving at
Immediately Justin removed his
seat belt and slouched in the seat to get more comfortable. The person leaning on him scooted closer to
him and snuggled against his chest. He
sighed and wrapped his left arm around her back. His hand lightly held on to her arm and his
thumb grazed across her skin ever so slightly.
Justin lifted his body a few
inches off the seat to reach in his back pocket and retrieve his wallet. A small sigh came from Meredith's lips and he
whispered 'sorry'. When she didn't
respond he knew she was still asleep. He
opened his wallet and pulled out his credit card.
Justin reached to the built in
phone staring him in the face. He swiped
the card through the designated slot and listened as the speaker continued on
and on about charges. He didn't
care. He just needed to make this phone
call. Finally he was instructed to dial
the number.
"Hello, Johnny
speaking."
"Johnny,
its Justin."
"Oh, hey. How are things?"
"Well, they are of course a
whole lot better, now that he was released from the hospital. We are both kinda
exhausted."
"I can imagine. I'm guessing you are on the plane now."
"Yeah. We should be there
in an hour. You aren't going to bring
security are you?"
"No, I think you can handle
it. Just don't hang around the airport,
but you know better than that. Is JC
picking you up?"
"Yeah, I have to call him and
check."
"I know you guys are really
tired but are you going to drop by the barbecue tomorrow?"
"Umm, I don't know. I
probably will, unless Mere needs me.
Hopefully she will want to get out and go to it. Hey Johnny have you talked to her about the
tour?"
"Not yet. That's why I was
wondering if she was coming to the barbecue.
We are doing info and stuff like that.
I was hoping to surprise her. I
talked to her before and she said "what about school?" But I have all that arranged already. Hehe."
"Good. I don't think I can go on a tour without
her."
"Yeah, she was a great asset
last time. Well, I have to go. Have a nice flight."
"Thanks Johnny."
"Bye."
Justin waited as the speaker came
on again. "If you would like to make another call, please press 2."
Justin pressed 2 and dialed the
next number.
"C
here."
"JC, its
me. What's up?"
"Hey man! Tell M I'm really glad everything is OK with
her dad."
"I will if she ever wakes
up."
"Oh, hehe. Just like me, eh?"
"I swear you too were
separated at birth."
"I thought that was her and
Chris."
"Well, you know what I
mean. Anyway, we should be at gate 8A in
about I'd said 45 minutes."
"OK, I'll be there."
"JC, umm, hehe,
guess what?"
"What J?"
"She told me."
"She told you wha...ohhhh, OH MY GOSH! WHEN?"
"Like two hours before she
found out about her dad."
"Oh great
timing.
Well, I'm happy for you two. It's
about time you guys are a couple."
"We aren't."
"Huh? We are talking about
the same thing? She told you she was in
love with you, right?"
"Yeah, but we agreed
yesterday evening that it would be best if we just take things slow."
"Oh, well that doesn't mean
it won't happen."
"Yeah, I just know she has a
hard time with this kinda stuff. JC, hehe, she
doesn't think she is going on tour with us. Can you believe that?"
"Has Johnny not told
her?"
"No, he said he is going to
tomorrow, if she goes to the barbecue."
"OH, this is great!"
"Listen, she said she wanted
to take it slow because of the tour and being away from me. What she doesn't realize is,
she is going to be with me 24/7! I'm so
happy! I've never been this happy
before. Hehe!"
"Stop it!!"
"What?"
"You're giddy. It's frightening."
"Sorry man."
"No, its cool, I'm happy for ya." Meredith
slightly changed positions on Justin's chest.
"I gotta
go, I think she is waking up."
"OK, I'll see ya in less than an hour at gate 8A."
"Alrightly, bye bye."
Justin hung up the phone. He looked down at Meredith. She was still breathing deeply. She probably had gotten a total of 7 hours of
sleep this whole week. He hadn't got
much more.
He picked up the credit card
resting on his knee and placed it back in his wallet. He lifted his hips and slid it into his back
pocket. She groaned and her hand that
had been resting on his chest moved out and her arm extended into a stretch. She hit something warm and very soft. Suddenly her fingers felt a little wet. She
slightly opened her eyes and saw her fingertips in Justin's mouth. He was
looking down at her with an eyebrow raised.
She laughed and immediately brought her fingers out of his mouth.
"Yes, correct Meredith. You
have found my mouth. On tomorrow's
anatomy lesson, we will study the reproductive organs." Justin mocked a
professor then grinned evilly. Meredith
immediately pushed at him. In a loud
huff she moved so she was as far away as she could get from him staring out the
tiny plane window.
"Thank you. Now I have some room to breathe." Justin stretched out in the first class seat
and yawned. He looked over at Meredith
glaring at him out of the corner of her eye.
He crouched into a smaller position and started poking at her sides and
stomach. She immediately began to
giggle.
She grabbed his wrist and gave him
a firm look. "Stop annoying
me."
"SHE SPEAKS!" Justin
mockingly gasped. "Sleeping beauty
awakes and she tells the prince to 'stop annoying her.' How
romantic." Justin
sarcastically said...
"Prince? Where?" She looked around and finally laid her
laughing eyes back on Justin's narrowed ones.
"Thanks for coming with me
this week J. You were right; I needed
you." She rested her head back on
his shoulder. "I still do, ya know?"
"Yeah, I know." He wrapped both his arms around her rested
his chin on her head.
"Me
tired." He said in a little kid's
voice.
"Then go to sleep."
“I can't get comfy." He continued in the childish voice.
"Come here,
lay your head in my lap. I'll massage it
for you. No, not THAT head. Stop grinning at me. STOP!" She pointed a finger at his sexy yet evil
grin, which only implied one thing.
"Come on. It'll make you fall asleep in an
instant."
"I know,
this is what my mom did to me when I was little." Justin took off his baseball cap and Meredith
clamped her mouth shut so she wouldn't laugh at the sight of his outrageous
afro. He glared at her and laid his head
in her lap. His tall build was barely
able to fit in even the first class space.
"Is my butt hanging out in
the isle?" Justin laughed as he pictured himself. Meredith raised her head to look.
"No, almost, but its still, kinda, in the seat.
What butt anyway? You are like
the no butt guy." She continued
running her hands through his wild hair and gently scratching his scalp.
"I know, I
have no booty. Unlike someone I know. I think her name starts with an M and ends
with a eredith."
"Ah ha. You are
hilarious." Meredith deadpanned.
"Yeah, and you love me for
it." He said smugly.
"Yup. Sure do." She
bent down and kissed his head and continued to massage his curls. Soon he was fast asleep.
-----------
*Nsync
was back on the road again. That night
they had their first concert of the second leg of their No String's Attached
Tour. This tour would be a lot like the
other, but they would visit some arena's they hadn't before and they would also
include Christmas music in their show.
Meredith had been totally
surprised when she found out she was going on tour with the guys. She thought school would be a problem. But Johnny had "somehow" managed to
let her get a few assignments a head of time that she could do on the
road. Meredith was happy to be on tour
but didn't know what this would mean for her and Justin. She wanted to be with him but was
scared. She was just being a coward and
she knew it.
She hadn't seen the guys all
day. They had flown up to
She had only seen the *Nsync guys once. And
that was for about 1 minute. She didn't even have time to speak to them. Meredith had brought 7 girls ranging from
10-16 to the meet n greet that were contest winners. She had brought them into the room where the
meet n great was, informed them what to do, and stole a quick glance at her
guys, who were all oblivious to her presence and rapped up in fans.
It was 5. The meet n great was
over. The guys basically had chill-time
until wardrobe. She figured they
probably were eating an early, light dinner.
Meredith finally had a break. In fact, she was done with all her
work. All she had to do was see if the
guys needed anything to be done.
She sauntered over to a room that
had a sign on it that said "*Nsync toy
room" She could hear Lance's deep voice and then she heard muffled
laughs. She then heard one distinctive
laugh that came from none other than Justin.
She barged into the room, not even knocking. This caused all the guys, who where munching
on pizza, fruits, crackers, ect.
to stop abruptly and look at her. She didn't even acknowledge them. She plopped down on the couch beside Chris
and leaned towards him putting all her body weight on his side.
"Umm, hey
Meredith." Chris laughed looking down at her. She was practically on top of him.
"We missed you at Sound
Check." Joey said with a mouthful
of pizza.
"Rough day
G?" Lance asked with a smile.
"I hate work." She mumbled.
"HEY!! I resent
that!" JC whined.
She sat up straight in her spot
and started talking wildly with her hands. "I don't care. You spend 4 hours confirming some teenybopper
band's radio spots. You spend the next
hour with 7, 12-year-old teenybopper freaks that swear they are going to marry
JC, have Justin's baby, and throw their thongs at Joey. At 12 I didn't even
know what a thong was. Then you call and make sure all contest winner tickets
are valid and make sure they have seats.
And all the while you are running on a cold grilled-cheese sandwich and
a flat diet coke. I don't think
so." She relaxed back down on
Chris.
"Get back to the thong
part." Joey laughed. Meredith threw
a pillow at him.
"And to think I still love
you guys..." She exaggerated a sigh, as all the guys laughed.
"Meredith, can you do me a
favor?" Justin asked seriously.
She whined. "NOOOOO please, just let me sleep. Don't make me do anything more. NOOOOOO."
"Oh OK." he stated
quietly. He had been unusually quiet
since she had gotten there.
"J, I'm kidding. What do you need?"
"I need to talk to you."
Meredith looked up at him
hopefully. "That's it?"
"Yeah,
alone." He sounded kinda
reluctant.
She asked with concerned,
"What's wrong?"
"Come with me..." Justin
stood up from his chair and Meredith followed him.
"I did it all for the nookie, come on..." Joey started singing.
"Yeah, Justin and Meredith
are always "talking." Sure, that's what they are doing." Chris exaggerated making quotation marks with
his fingers.
"Be nice. Let the lovers be." JC giggled.
"Yeah, let them make out in
peace." Lance started making
kissing noises.
"SHUT UP!" Meredith and
Justin yelled at the same time and slammed the door. They both giggled to each other as the walked
down the hallway to a small room. Inside
was where Justin's entire wardrobe was.
Meredith walked in and looked
around at all of his clothes. Justin
quietly shut the door behind him and locked it.
"Sit down." Justin pointed to a chair that had a few
pieces of clothing on it. He pulled them
off and threw them to a pile on the floor.
Meredith sat down and looked up at him wide-eyed.
"OK. What is it?"
"Well..." Justin started
pacing the floor and mumbling to himself.
Meredith found the situation quite humorous even though she knew he had
something on his mind. She giggled and
quickly covered her mouth. As soon as it
slipped out, Justin stopped and stared at her.
She cleared her throat and turned to look at the floor. But she couldn't help it. The laughter came and she couldn't stop.
"You
laughing at me?" Justin
asked with a grin.
"I'm...sorry. Its just..you
were..soo focused. I've never seen you talk to yourself. It was
funny. Sorry." She contained herself with inhaling a deep
breath and releasing it. "Please
tell me what you need to."
"OK. Umm. How do I say this?" He was searching for the right thing to
say. He didn't want to scare her but he
didn't want it to sound like it wasn't a big deal. He never had trouble telling
someone how he felt about them. Usually
as soon as it came to him he told them.
But this was different. This was
Meredith. "Uhh, I, umm. I cant be your
friend anymore."
"Huh? WHAT?"
She looked at him confused and scared.
"That's not what I
meant. I mean I want to be your
friend. I love being your friend, your
best friend. But I need more." He looked at her and she raised her head
slowly and nodded once.
"So, you understand?"
"Justin,
yeah.
But I thought we were going to take it slow. I thought we were going to be patient."
"I cant. I just cant. It's
not in me to. I can't tell you I'm in love with you one day and go back to
being brother and sister the next. I
need you. I need to feel you in my arms.
I need your lips on mine. I need YOU in my life."
"I am in your life."
He ignored her comment and
continued. "I want you to be my girlfriend. I need you to be. I can't just sit around and
pretend like I'm not in love with you.
It's not how I work."
"J, I..."
"Wait." He started pacing again, talking with his
hands. Something he only did when he had
a lot to get out. "I know you have
had a rough past. I know you have never
been in this situation before. And I
think that's why I've let you control me like you do. I've let YOU control our relationship. I've let YOU determine when it was time to go
and when it is time to stop. I did that
for YOU. But I think you've ignored that
I'M in this relationship too. I've
sacrificed a whole lot of my time and energy into you. I don't regret any of
it. But when we were on the beach, when
we were on your bed, you act as if it doesn't mean anything. It's like you take your little make-out
session whenever you want it and then turn me back into Big Brother whenever
you need me to be him. I used to be fine
with that. But I'm not anymore. This relationship is a two-way street. You are going to have to meet me halfway
here. I can't hide my feelings like YOU
can."
"Well..." Meredith said
in a snobbish voice. He took notice and
stopped pacing and looking down at the floor.
He turned to her and merged his eyebrows. He was angry.
"Listen, MEREDITH! I'm sorry if that's not what you wanted to
hear. I'm sorry if you want to play this
game of "Use Justin whenever I deem necessary". But I'm tired of the game. OK? Do
you understand that you can't just drag me around like some rag-doll? I've done everything in my power to do
EXACTLY what you tell me to do. I'm not
a patient person and I've been EXTREMLY patient with you. Tell me this
Meredith. What would you do if tonight
in the middle of the show I stopped singing and pulled you on stage and
proposed to you? What would you do
then?"
Meredith's eyes got wide. She shook her head in horror. "Justin, I don't..."
He sighed loudly, "I'm not
saying I'm going to do that. Damn, I'm
only 19. I'm no where NEAR ready for
that. Like maybe a LONG ways down the
road. Not now." He finally looked her in the eyes and
sincerely said this, "But I do know that I'm ready for you. I want you. I need you. I LOVE YOU!"
She exhaled and closed her
eyes. She bowed her head and whispered,
"How do you know that you are ready?"
He smiled. "I feel it in my
heart."
"I don't know if I'm ready
for you Justin. Like you said, I've
never been in this type of relationship before.
It's so new to me. Six months ago
I never even knew these types of feelings existed. I don't want to act on false
feelings then break your heart. I
promised you, and myself whether you know it or not,
that that was the last thing I would ever do.
I will kill myself before I even think about breaking your heart."
"That's why I love you."
"Don't say that. It just confuses me even more."
"It's the truth, Angel. Do you want me to lie to you?"
"No."
"Just look at me
Meredith. Look...at...me! Look at my eyes. You'll know once you do what your feelings
are. You will know instantly whether you
are ready or not." He stepped
closer to her.
"I cant."
"Look at me." He placed
his hand under her chin and lifted it. She slowly lifted her eyes to his. He was right.
She knew instantly. Once his blue
eyes shone into her brown ones she knew.
She knew she loved him. She knew
she was in love with him. She knew she
wanted him with her. She knew she was
ready.
"Justin..." She
whispered. He was closing the gap
between them quickly. His hands rested
on the armrest of her chair. "I, I..." She stuttered. She felt it in her body, soul, and
heart. But her mind was tricking
her. It was always getting in her
way. ALWAYS "I don't...don't know...I don't
know if I'm ready." Just as she was
saying that his lips were about 4 inches from hers. His eyes were slowly closing. But this caused them to shut completely. He took a giant step back, straightened
himself and opened his eyes. He stared
at her. Without
emotion.
He knew she was lying. He knew how she worked. He knew that her mind was tricking her. But he had seen it in her eyes. She WAS ready.
"Fine
then." He softly said still
staring at her. She slowly slid out of
the chair and walked towards him.
"I'm..I'm sor-"
"Don't say that. I just want to ask one thing of you."
"Anything.."
"Kiss me. Give me an "appetizer", as they
call it. Let me make SURE that I'm
willing to wait for you until you are ready." She grinned and stepped one giant step and
was now right under him. He was still
standing. He hadn't moved. He looked like a giant above her. She titled her head up to look at him. His head was still in the same position but
his eyes were turned down, studying her expression. She whispered, "OK."
She put her hands on his shoulders
and moved them until they were behind his neck.
She pulled his head down until it was so close to hers, they were
breathing in each other's breaths. With
one swift move, she pushed herself up on her toes and their lips met. His arms were still by his sides. His eyes were now closed, but his lips
weren't responding. She locked his
bottom lip between her pout and pulled back.
Just as she had done this she leaned in again but this time captured his
upper lip. Both kisses were light and simple.
And she was surprised that he didn't respond to either kiss. He just stood there. It was pure hell.
For him it was heaven. She was for the first time leading him. SHE was the one doing the kissing. Not
him. Usually he would kiss, expect a
response and got one. This time she was doing the kissing, but she wasn't
getting anything in return. He knew she
hated it. But he wanted to make her
think with her heart and not so much her mind.
She was fed up. She wanted this. She knew she did. She knew damn well she was ready.
She pulled back and looked at his
face. His eyes were closed and that was
the only sign of recognition she had from him.
So, she decided she would MAKE him recognize her. She plowed her lips against his and
immediately forced her tongue inside his mouth. She walked on her tiptoes
forcing him to walk backwards to lean on a counter. She explored his entire mouth with her tongue
and doing it quickly yet sensually. He
was fighting hard just to be still. But he couldn't take it. Finally she got recognized. He moved his arms and lightly held her hips
as he groaned against her mouth.
But just as he did the speaker
went off. "*Nsync to wardrobe. *Nsync
to wardrobe."
Meredith immediately pulled away
and whispered, "You need to get dressed." She was breathing deeply and staring at his
swollen lips, knowing if she looked at his eyes, she would fall. She turned her head, stepped to the door and
restated more firmly,
"Yeah, umm, you need to get dressed." She unlocked and opened the door, then shut
it behind her unaware of Justin's radiating smile.
---------------
Just as the door clicked shut,
Justin was shot back into reality. He
remembered that he had just let Meredith have her way again. He had a feeling, in this relationship, that
she would ALWAYS get her way. He just
wanted to be near her. He would do
everything and anything to make her happy.
But he also knew this really WASNT what she wanted.
Justin sighed and stretched his
arms across the counter. He gave himself
a good look in the mirror. The bags
under his eyes had decreased. His blue
eyes shone like they never had before. His smile, which he was growing sick of,
was becoming brighter. Meredith had
changed him.
He ran a hand over his head and
took off his black bandanna as he did this.
His curls were a mess underneath and he chuckled at their
craziness.
-To think I use to hate this
stuff. Man, I still do. I can't believe girls actually LIKE it. I wonder if Meredith likes it? Stop it. You have to get dressed. -
He was about to get off his
clothes and take a shower but he heard the door click shut behind him. He turned around very slowly and looked at
the person who had came in. His smile immediately shone through.
She was back. She was ready. And he was going to give her a run for her
money.
"Yes?" Justin questioned dragging the word out.
"Umm, I took about 1 minute
to realize I was a complete idiot." Meredith said nervously leaning
against the closed door.
"What are you talking
about?" Justin asked nonchalantly
as he pulled off his shirt with one quick move only to leave his skin tight
gray wifebeater.
"You KNOW what I'm talking
about. And don't try to temp me like
that." she gritted through her teeth.
He turned away from her and
snickered. "I REALLY have no clue
what you are talking about." He
unbuckled his belt and quickly slid it out.
He threw it on the floor and his loose pants fell a few inches on his
waist. Now the rim of
his plaid boxers were exposed.
She stared at his shoulder blades
through the shirt and the rim of his boxers. "I'm ready Justin. I want
you. I need you. I have to be in your life.
More than a friend."
"OHHH. OK. Whatever..." Justin scratched his head and looked
around the room searching for something, not really acting like he cared. The words didn't mean a thing, for he already
knew.
"Justin. I don't think you understand what I am
saying." She was getting fed
up. He could hear it in her voice. He stopped looking for whatever it was and
stared at her.
"I think I DO
understand. But let me ask you a few
questions first." She nodded and he
slowly crept forward towards her.
"So..." He began.
"You want to date me?" She
nodded and he continued forward.
"You want to be with
me?" She smiled as he got closer
and placed his hands beside her head.
"You want to be my
girlfriend?" She whispered, "yes."
Justin was staring straight into
her brown eyes. He bent his elbows to
let himself get closer. He hovered right
above her mouth. She removed her eyes
from his to stare at his perfectly formed lips.
He noticed and tried not to just devour her right there. He teased her instead. He brought his tongue out of his mouth and
grazed over the top of his upper lip. He
brought the tip of his tongue over his bottom lip and as he brought his tongue
back into his mouth, he bit the side his bottom lip with his perfectly white
teeth. Meredith whimpered something
inaudible and he about broke down but somehow maintained his composure.
"So, you want me to kiss
you?" He whispered an inch from her
face. She looked up at his eyes and back
at his lips and groaned, "Oh God, yes."
He smiled and closed the gap
in-between them. He gently rested the
tip of his lips to hers and mumbled, "Close you eyes." She obliged and he smiled.
He then did the unexpected. He moved his head to the side and brushed his
lips across her cheek to her ear and whispered, "But like you said before,
I have to get dressed."
With that he pushed himself from
her and the door and pivoted back to face the clothing rack.
Meredith stood in shock.
Justin smiled to himself and took
both his hands and removed his wifebeater. He unbuttoned his pants and unzipped his fly.
"What, wha.." She
stuttered. He turned around and stared
at her wide-eyed, urging her to continue.
She just gawked at his exposed body and unzipped jeans. "What are you trying to do?"
"What are you talking
about?" With that he kicked off his
shoes, dropped his pants and stepped out of them.
"OH MY
GOSH!
Justin Timberlake, you know EXACTLY what you are doing." She was pissed off now.
"Actually I don't." He said putting his hands on his hips.
Meredith's mouth dropped. He looked
stunning. She had never in her life seen
him or anyone else for that matter look as breathtaking as him.
"Justin, you're trying to
make me want you. I do. I already told
you that. I want to be with you. I'm
ready for you. I'm in love with you.
Please don't stand there and tease me."
"Be patient." He snickered when she slumped
her shoulders and whined. "Now you
know how I felt."
"FINE THEN! You don't want
me. I'll just leave you alone. GOODBYE!" She turned to the door and swung it open. She
was about to walk out but Justin grabbed her arm. He turned her around and kicked the door
shut.
"While your waiting, why don't
I give you a little appetizer." He
enveloped his arms behind her and arched her back for her. Her hands rested on his biceps and she just
smiled at him.
"You annoy me."
"I know." He took one of his hands and brought it to
the back of her head. He pressed forward
and pushed her face against his. Their
lips met and Justin groaned something and it turned into a chuckle. She smiled and kissed him over and over. Just light pecks. After about 5 of them.
Justin shook his head and gave her the puppy dog look.
"What, you want
more?" He nodded like a little kid
and she just closed the gap and titled her head. She finally wrapped her arms around his neck
as the kiss deepened. Justin pressed her
body against his, and passionately kissed her like she was the only girl he
ever wanted. She WAS the only girl he
ever wanted. Slowly Meredith pulled away
and looked at him. He opened his eyes
and returned her smile.
She stated matter-of-factly,
"You know what I just realized?"
"What angel?" He asked
nuzzling and occasionally kissing her neck.
"Every time we make out, one
of us is barely clothed. At the beach we
were in bathing suits. On my bed I was
in a robe. Now you are just in boxers
and socks. Which if I do say so myself is a great look for you. But I wonder does this mean we can only do
this is one of us isn't fully clothed?"
He kissed her jawbone,
"Meredith, do you REALLY want me to answer? That's a loaded question."
"I guess you are right."
Justin brought his head up and
looked at her face, memorizing every feature.
"Of course I'm right. But as
much as I would LOVE, and I mean LOVE to just have you in my arms and kiss you
for all eternity, I have to take a shower and get dressed. Cecil, Anna, and Marie will be in here
sometime soon and I have to be showered and ready or I'll get bitched
out." Justin made a face.
"<Sigh> OK. But after the concert we will have to be
together." Justin pulled away and
headed to the shower.
He nodded, "Oh no doubt about
it. I think we shouldn't tell the
guys. I mean we have tricked them SO
many times about this. They wouldn't
believe us."
"Yeah, lets
pretend we are really mad at each other." She did little punching motions
towards him and he giggled at her.
"All right. Fine with me. But when we are alone you better be
nice."
"OH I'll be real nice, Timberfake."
"Umm huh,
yeah. Sure."
"You're hot."
Justin laughed, "Excuse
me?"
"I said you are hot. You look good without a shirt on. You look good no matter what. But you look really good right now."
"Well, thank you Miss
Willis. You don't look so bad
yourself. But I do have to go take a
shower now. Bye angel. And I'll see you at the concert. You going to be
backstage?"
She walked towards him and cupped
his cheeks. "Maybe. I guess you will just wait and
see." She gave him a quick kiss,
knowing if she held on longer, she would be there for the rest of the night. She walked to the door and smiled at him as
he stepped into the small shower room.
He looked at her one last time and blew her a kiss. She caught it and stuck it in her pocket. He
gave her a questioning look and she shrugged and stepped out of the door.
