Chapter 14
"Bye, Bye Byee..."
"Thank you Again
Charlotte!" Chris screamed.
"We hope you had a great
time. We sure did." Joey flirted
with the crowd.
Justin pointed to the band.
"Let's hear it one more time for the *Nsync band."
"Let's hear it for our
fans!" JC spoke as the crowd
erupted.
"We will see you next
time!" Lance said.
The guys departed the stage,
grabbed water bottles and towels and jogged to the bus.
Chris entered first, then, Lance,
JC, Joey, and finally Justin.
Chris ran through the bus.
"Hey M!"
"What up G?" Lance plopped on one of the couches
"Hey Merey!" JC patted
her back.
Joey kissed her cheek. "Sup chick?"
"Hi." Justin barely smiled, but winked when the
guys weren't looking.
"Justin..." Meredith
firmly said. She hadn't even acknowledge
the other guys.
"Yes, dear?" He responded sarcastically.
"UGH. You know what? You can go to hell. I'm tired of this crap you keep putting me
through!"
"WHAT?" Justin acted mad remembering their plan.
"Hey, what did you two talk about
in J's wardrobe?" Lance giggled.
JC shook his head. "Yeah, we
don't want another brawl."
"Why not? They are kinda fun to watch!" Joey broke open a bag of chips and began
eating like he was watching a movie.
"Justin, HERE, thinks that
since we are such GOOD friends that we should do that friends with benefits
thing." Meredith pointed to him
angrily.
"WHAT?" Justin actually was surprised but when
Meredith narrowed her eyes even more he got the hint. "Look, I know you want me! Just stop denying it. All that "Like a virgin" BS is not
very sexy if you ask me."
"WELL if you don't find it
sexy then why are you pursuing me??"
Meredith got up in his face.
"Because, a boy needs some
action every now and then." Justin
shrugged.
"I'll give you some
action!" She slapped him across the
face causing the people on the bus to stare in shock and a few chuckled. He touched where she had slapped him very
lightly and looked up at her with pain and anger in his eyes.
"Back lounge, now." He stated firmly.
"No." She said snobbishly. She didn't think she had hit him that hard,
but she had, and he was VERY angry.
"BACK LOUNGE
NOW!!!!" He roared. The whole bus stopped. He stood up still lightly touching his cheek.
With his other hand he grabbed her arm forcefully and dragged her into the back
lounge with him. He practically threw
her on the couch and looked back over his shoulder.
"If you ease-drop you are
DEAD!" He slammed the door. He turned back to Meredith on the couch. She was giggling into a pillow.
"WHAT THE HELL IS SO DAMN
FUNNY?" He yelled.
Through giggles Meredith managed,
"Justin...OK...you can.... stop...now." She looked up at him and noticed his hurt
eyes. She stopped giggling immediately.
"J, what's wrong? I'm sorry. I thought we were just
playing." She watched as he touched
his face and paced back and forth in the small amount of space he had.
"We were, but then you
slapped me. I can't believe you did
that. You...hit me" He quietly sat down on the couch and a tear fell from
his eye on the side of his face where she slapped him. He wiped it away forcefully but winced when
he accidentally touched the redden cheek.
"Oh my gosh. I didn't realize I had...ohhhhh." She
immediately got up and sat beside him wrapping him in a hug. She felt awful.
"Just get away..."
Justin mumbled.
She tightened her grip around him.
"Nope, you're stuck with me."
He finally rested his head on her
shoulder. She took one of his hands and
entangled it with hers. He brought it up
to his lips and kissed the top of it.
"I guess we got carried away.
I shouldn't have yelled at you."
"I shouldn't have slapped
you."
"Will you kiss it and make it
better?" He asked hopefully but
seriously. She lifted his face close to
hers and stared into his watery blue orbs.
"I'm sorry Justin. I, I cant
believe I hurt you. I love you. Will you forgive me?"
"If you kiss me, I
will." He smirked as she leaned
into him.
"I can arrange that."
She lightly brushed her lips against his redden cheek. He shifted in pain and she blew on it. He closed his eyes tightly, trying to rid the
sting. Her warm breath was very soothing
to his skin.
"Better?" He just nodded
slightly and nuzzled her neck.
"Stop...that
tickles...stop..." She giggled as he tickled her neck with his breath and
soft lips.
"I still love you." He whispered against her skin.
"You better." She laughed.
Just then a muffled voice was heard from the other side of the door.
"Justin? Mere?
You guys OK?" JC's calming
voice called to him. Justin looked up at
Meredith with a pout.
"What?" She asked.
"No REAL kiss,
yet." He pouted even more.
"Oh gosh.." She leaned
in a kissed him full on the lips. She
pulled away very slowly bring him with her.
"Justin, JC is going to barge
in here." She mumbled against his
mouth.
He groaned, "I don't
care." She pulled away finally and
stood up.
"Come on. Let's go.
I think the bus has stopped."
She gave him her hands and he reluctantly took them and stood up.
"Aight G. Time to go back to being a bitch."
"Hey..." She pushed his
shoulder and he smirked.
"This has been one hell of a
day, eh?" Justin asked.
"You can say that
again!" Meredith opened the door and looked at an impatiently waiting JC.
"WHAT?" She rolled her eyes and pushed past him. Justin mocked her behind her back and
followed her out of the bus and into the hotel.
------------
"So, we clubbin?" Joey
asked.
Meredith looked at their tired
faces. "I think you boys need your rest."
"I think you need to lighten
up." Justin mumbled.
"I think you both need to
SHUT UP!" JC sighed tired of their
fighting.
"Sorry..." Meredith said
annoyed.
The elevator doors opened to
Meredith's floor.
"I'll meet you guys up in
your hallway in half an hour."
"Bye g." Lance called after her. She waved without turning around.
"Chris you are being
quiet." Joey observed.
"Yeah, you know what I think
I'm just going to call Danielle tonight and go to bed."
"Sure whatever man. I understand. The flu's a bitch,
eh?" Joey said as he stepped off
the elevator that had reached their floor. The rest of the guys followed suit.
---------------------------------------
"Is the booty coming
out?" Joey smirked.
"Oh gosh. That joke is so old." Meredith groaned and leaned against JC's
shoulder. She closed her eyes.
"Come on girl, don't go to
sleep yet. We aren't even at the
club." JC made her sit up straight by wiggling his shoulders.
"I'm tired. Sorry.
I've had a rough day." The
guys nodded their head in understandment.
Meredith looked in front of her at
the figure directly across from her. He
was looking out the window intently. He
was dressed in boots, black leather pants, a red shirt, and a black leather
jacket. A whitish bandanna covered his
hair. She studied his profile. His
jawline. His intense stare. She was in love with him.
Meredith was stealing glances at
him trying not to be noticed. Justin was
doing the same thing with her.
He had never seen her look this
clubish before. She had on black bootleg
stretch pants with her black 3-inch heels.
Her top was a bright blue tight spaghetti strap top that cut short right
above her belly button. Her hair was
straight and she had lots of sparkly makeup on. She usually was much more
reserved. But he didn't mind this look.
Not. At. All.
While stealing glances at each
other the rest of the guys were oblivious, caught up in their own
conversations. But Meredith caught
Justin glance and she smiled at him. He
gave her a crooked grin back and turned his attention to the conversation the
rest of the guys were in. Soon they were
at the club.
------------------
Hour and 1/2 later
Meredith sat alone in the
booth. Lance had been with her but got
carried away by some girl. She scolded
him about Leslie but he reassured her.
Meredith really wasn't paying attention anyway. All she was focused on was a tall handsome
figure near the center of the dance floor, breaking it down and smiling with
some skinny, tall, blonde chick. She
knew they were trying to act mad at each other but she was tired of it. She danced
with Joey, JC, and Lance at the beginning but that changed. Joey was now
dancing with his usual 10 girls. JC was
talking to a girl in some booth in a corner.
Lance was dancing with someone else and Meredith was all alone running
her fingers up the side of her glass of water.
She loved dancing with
Justin. He was a lot of fun. They danced all the time over the
summer. They knew each other's moves and
it made them look really good on the dance floor. Meredith sighed and put her chin in her propped
up open palm. She wanted to leave. She didn't want to just sit there all
night. She decided to motion for one of
the guards. She craned her neck and
spotted Dre. She waved at him and he finally took notice and came towards her.
"Hey Mere, what is it?"
Dre asked.
"I'm going back to the
hotel. I just figured I would tell you
so you wouldn't spaz."
"M, I don't want you going
back by yourself."
"You need to stay here, I
don't want to spoil the guys fun. I can
just get a cab."
"I guess its OK."
"Hell no it's not OK."
Justin sat down beside her on the booth staring at her face. She closed her eyes turned her head to
him. Meredith looked at Justin and then
at Dre.
"I'm sorry Dre. I guess my master doesn't think its that
great of an idea." Dre nodded and
walked away.
"You were going to
leave?" He asked disappointed.
"Yeah." She took a sip of water.
"Why? We haven't even danced together
yet." Justin pleaded.
"Well you've been a little
preoccupied."
Justin sighed and took her
hand. "That girl was dancing with
me to get with Chris. When she found out
he wasn't here, she jetted. I came
straight for you when she did." They
stood up together and walked towards the floor.
"Oh so I'm second
pick." Meredith grinned as they
entered the dance floor.
"No, you're the ONLY
pick. That girl just wouldn't let me
go." Justin and Meredith were now
in the middle of the floor.
"Hey, I see G is going to
give J a little action after all."
Joey yelled from his crowd of girls.
"No, that's later on tonight." Meredith laughed at Joey's shocked expression
and looked at Justin who was smiling evilly.
"What?"
"Oh, just listening to the
music." Meredith listened and
groaned.
"Justin, I'm not going to
back my thing up."
"You will if I ask you
to." He put his hands on her hips and brought her as close as possible to
him.
"You know, I could sue you
for sexual harassment." She stated
seriously.
"Not, if you enjoy
it." He whispered into her hair.
"Just dance." She said annoyed.
Justin and Meredith danced with
only each other for the rest of the night.
Meanwhile Lance had joined JC and his new friend.
"Lance, I'd like you to meet
"Nice to meet you."
“Likewise." She smiled.
"Hey JC, Meredith and Justin
aren't mad at each other anymore. Look..."
Lance pointed to their spot on the
dance floor where Justin's arms were loosely around her waist and her arms were
slung over his shoulders. They were just
swaying to the music, obviously in some deep conversation.
"I don't really think they
were fighting to begin with. Justin
isn't the type of guy to ask girls to do the friends with benefits thing,
especially Meredith. I'm not saying he
wouldn't WANT to. He just would never
ask."
"True, true." Lance nodded his head.
"Ummm, I'm lost."
"Ohh, see Meredith
there..." He pointed to her and Justin. "...Got a job for us over the
summer. Her and Justin were always
fighting at the beginning but they just one day decided to be best friends and
here we are."
"They look a little more than
friends if you ask me." She raised
an eyebrow.
JC nodded. "Yeah, they love
each other. They just, I don't
know. They are weird. They are still very much in the closet with
each other, I guess."
"I'm still wondering what
they talked about in his wardrobe." Lance put in.
On the dance floor....
"I wanna li-li-li-lick you
from your head to your toes. Then I wanna, move from the bed down to the-down
to the-to the floor. Then I wanna, ah, ah, you make it so good I dont wanna
leave. Cause gotta kn-kn-kn-know,
wha-what's your fant-ta-ta-syyyy.."
Justin rapped sweetly along with
the music into her ear. Her back was to
him and he had his hands lock with hers, resting on her stomach and his arms wrapped
around her. She tilted her head up to
look at him. Meredith took her hand from
his and put it to the back of his head to give him a clue as to what she
wanted. He obliged and lowered his head
to give her a soft kiss. They pulled
away smiling. Meredith whispered,
"Let's show these people what we can do."
At the booth...
"Well I believe your worries
are over."
"What do you mean?" JC asked taking a sip from his beer.
"I think I just saw your two
friends kiss. And look at them
now!" She pointed.
Lance and JC turned their
attention to Meredith and Justin who were really dirty dancing to Ludakris's
"Fantasy". Meredith had her
butt right on Justin's crotch area and she was bent over some with her hands on
her thighs. HE was bent over on top of
her back and guiding her hips into him with his hands.
"Gosh, he REALLY did unleash
the booty." Lance chuckled with JC.
"You know what? For a virgin
I think she must take lesson's or something, because you just don't KNOW how to
dance like that." JC shook his had.
"Virgin's don't dance like
that."
"Well, Meredith dances like
that, and to my knowledge she IS a virgin." Lance slumped in his chair and looked at his
watch. "Oh great its already
"We gots to go!" JC
whined.
"Yeah, I nominate YOU to go
get them off the dance floor."
Lance pointed at JC.
"Fine. You have to go get Joey." JC smiled a fake sweet smile.
The two guys said goodbye to
Lance found Joey and they went and
entered their limo and waited for the rest.
All the while JC pushed his way through the crowd to see Meredith and
Justin in the middle of a huge opened circle.
Everyone was watching them break it down to Soul Decision's
"Faded." JC stood in the
circle, watched, and smiled at his two friends.
"You know what? This is like
your theme song for me." Meredith
said as she backed away from him and turned around to stand behind him. She took her hands and placed them, palm open
on his stomach and moved them all the way down as the two grinded to the
music. She got to his waist and the
crowd started rooting for her to continue.
She shrugged and moved her hands, slowly, until they were right on his
upper thigh, extremely close to, well you know.
Justin immediately stopped dancing and stared down at her hands with
wide eyes. She then pressed down and
motioned for him to break it down to the floor.
He did just that, after the shock of her hands being so close to
him. She stepped around him and stood in
front of him as he was practically touching the floor. He worked his way back up stopping only at
her exposed stomach to kiss her belly button.
He moved up further and kissed her upper chest. He continued with her collar, her neck and
her jawline singing the song very softly as he went. "...thinking bout making my move
tonight. I can't pretend that you're
only my friend when you're holding my body tight..." They bumped and
grinded until the song was over and the crowd surrounding them cheered.
"I tired." Meredith leaned against Justin's chest.
JC came up to them. "Hey you
guys, umm great pornography you got going on there." Meredith glared at him from Justin's chest.
Justin nodded with JC. "Dude,
did you see what she did with her hands.
I think she is just a little hooch waiting to be born." Meredith stood up straight and hit him kinda
hard on the shoulder.
"Ow!"
"I resent that
Timberfake." She turned back to JC
who was laughing at them.
"Oh yeah, Lance and Joey are
waiting in the limo. It's past
"I guess we should go
then." Justin looked down at her
wore out face. He linked her hand with
his and they followed JC out of the club.
Once inside the limo Meredith immediately put her head in Justin's lap
and closed her eyes. He just smiled and
ran his fingers through her hair.
"I see you and G made
up." Joey smiled evilly, giggling.
"Yeah. We did."
Justin quietly stated.
Lance stuttered. "I've seen
you guys dance before, but that out there was, well, I'm just glad you too had
clothes on."
"Step back you dancing kinda
close I feel a little poke coming through on you." Meredith mumbled and pointed to Justin. She always got a little goofy when she was
really worn out. All the guys laughed in surprise and Justin's face got
red. He leaned over and whispered in her
ear.
"That was embarrassing."
"Well, you need to learn to
control your body parts when you are dancing, Justin." She said in her same position.
"You annoy me." He
mocked her and she tiredly giggled as she blindly reached up and patted his
cheek that was no longer red from her slap.
In the process she practically poked out his eye and the whole limo
laughed at their antics.
---------
"Umm, Mere we are at your
floor." Joey pointed out
giggling. He was still a little buzzed.
"Yeah, I'm going up to check
on Chris." Meredith looked over at
Justin and smiled.
"Oh, well remember to use
protection when you're bangin' Justin."
Joey laughed and stumbled out of the elevator to his room.
"I can't believe..."
Justin started.
"Justin babes. It's written
all over your face. You want to screw
me." Meredith laughed and stepped
off after JC and Dre, leaving Mike, Justin, and Lance still in the elevator.
"That girl better watch
herself." Justin mumbled and walked
towards his room. Meredith was leaning
by the doorway, biting her nails.
"Don't do that." Justin quietly said bringing her hand from
her mouth with one hand and interlocking it with his. He unlocking his door with the other hand
stepped inside and brought her in with him.
"So what do you want to
do? I mean its like 3. I kinda need some sleep." Meredith asked sitting on the edge of the bed
and laying back. Justin walked into the
bathroom to wash his face.
"I was thinking we could
cuddle, make out, whatever..." He snickered as he let the cold water
splash across his face.
"I had a lot of fun tonight,
Justin. Especially after blondie
left."
"Blondie has a name, though I
seem to have forgotten it." Justin
chuckled and stepped out of the bathroom.
"Hey, I wonder if any good
movies are on TV."
"Why don't you turn on the TV
and find out?" Justin raised an
eyebrow at her sprawled across the bed.
"I'm too lazy."
"You know, I usually find
that as a turn off." He climbed on
the bed beside her.
"Oh well, your
loss." She turned and rested her
head so she was facing Justin. She
smiled tiredly.
"Yeah..." He brushed a
lock of hair that fell across her face out of the way. "I'm really glad you were ready."
"Me too."
He leaned down and brushed his
pout with hers. He stayed there not
really kissing her but just letting his lips touch hers with both their eyes
closed for a few moments.
"Meredith..." He
mumbled.
"Huh?" She barely made
out.
"You asleep?"
"Yeah, you?"
"Yeah. You going to stay here tonight?"
"Why not?" She smiled and this caused him to do the
same. He giggled and rubbed her nose
with his.
"Come on sleepy head lets get
all snugly under the covers." He
sat up and immediately removed his shirt and pants. Leaving him only in plaid boxers and a gray
wifebeater.
"Can I have some clothes to
change into?" She scratched her
head tiredly.
"Now usually I would try to
be all sexy and say "not a chance."
But not tonight. You've already
worn me out with all that dancin'. What
were you trying to do with that little hand thing?" He smiled fully and threw a white undershirt
and pair of UNC boxers at her.
"I don't know. I just did it. Ugh, Tarheels? No thanks!" She threw them back at him.
"Fine, I won't give you any
boxers." She immediately got up and
grabbed the shorts out of his hands and stormed to the bathroom to change. She
changed quickly and washed her face to rid it of the make-up she had on. When
she got out, the room was pitch black, she was flooded with memories of the
first night she stayed in Justin's room.
"If I step on a potato chip
again, you..are...dead!" She
accented the last words and blindly made her way to Justin's bed.
"Meredith you aren't sleeping
with me, I mean we haven't been together for more than 12 hours."
"Oh shut up." She pulled back the covers and slipped into
the bed. Justin immediately wrapped his
arms around her and nuzzled her neck.
"I'm so happy. I love you more than I can
express." He whispered against her
soft skin.
"So, J, are you my boyfriend
now?" She asked turning on her
other side to face him.
"Do you want me to
be?" She could see his smile in the
darkness.
"YUP!" She tickled him under his chin and he giggled
a giggle she had never heard. It was
boyish, sweet, cute, pure, amazing.
"I love you so
much." She locked her lips to his
and he immediately deepened it. After a
few minutes of kissing Justin noticed her not really doing much kissing back. He pulled away and kissed her forehead.
"Goodnight, angel." He whispered.
She mumbled. "Night,
love." Soon they were both asleep
in each other's arms
------------
"Do you think we should wake
them?" Lance whispered.
JC shushed them. "Nah, let
them sleep."
"Oh I gotta get a picture of
this." Chris pulled out his camera
and took a picture
Joey smiled evilly; "Do you
guys think they had sex?"
"NO!" They all yelled in
whispers.
Chris bent down by Justin's ear.
His mouth was inches from his ear and yelled.
"
"I hate you all." He mumbled and lay back down on the bed and
looked over at Meredith who was hiding under a pillow. He started laughing.
"So, Justin. You and Meredith eh?" Joey snickered.
"Yes you guys, me and
Meredith are FINALLY a couple."
Justin rolled over and wrapped an arm around her, protectively.
"No, I bet this is all a
trick." Chris crossed his arms.
"Yeah, PROVE IT!" Lance
demanded. Justin smiled and took the
pillow off of Meredith's face and she glared at him.
"Yeah, doll. Do you mind morning breath?" He put a
piece of fallen hair behind her ear.
"No, just get this over with
so I can go back to sleep."
"You are so romantic in the
morning." He said
sarcastically.
She scooted closer and he leaned
down towards her. He looked back up at
all the guys waiting impatiently. He
smiled and turned back down to Meredith.
Justin pressed his lips firmly to
hers and she immediately wrapped her arms around his neck. He deepened the kiss by tilting his head and
letting his tongue glide into her mouth.
She moaned and he slowly pulled away and looked at his friends shocked
expressions.
"I like your face kinda
scruffy." She said running her hand
along his unshaven cheek and chin. Justin giggled and threw his legs over the
side of the bed. He stood up and patted
his shocked friends' backs as he made his way to the bathroom.
"Hey you guys I'm going to
take a shower. Please let Meredith
sleep. She was up late last night and
you know how she is if she doesn't get her 9 hours of shut eye." He closed the bathroom door.
The rest of the guys slowly turned
their heads back to Meredith.
"Well its about
time!" JC threw up his hands and
stormed to the door.
"Later G." Lance said following him.
Chris bent down and gave her a
noogie, "Aww, our little M is all grown up." She swatted at him and he turned and left the
room.
Joey sat down on the bed and
leaned over and kissed her temple. She
opened one eye and he smiled down at her.
"I'm happy for you Mere.
Justin has wanted this for a long time.
He deserves someone as special as you.
We are all very glad you guys finally got your act together." She opened her other eye and smiled at
Joey. For the first time he had actually
said something very sweet and genuine about her relationship with Justin.
"Thank you Joey. That means a lot." She smiled and pointed to the door. "Now OUT! I need my sleep." He chuckled and left her alone to fall asleep
to the gentle sound of the running water and Justin's light singing voice
echoing in the shower.
--------
2 1/2 months later, Christmas Day
Justin sat on the couch right
beside his brother who was devouring his presents. For the first time Justin felt extremely
lonely. Usually Christmas was his
favorite holiday. He got a break from
his work and crazy lifestyle and was able to spend time with his family. But the one person he wanted to be there
wasn't. She had her own family. He
wanted to spend their first Christmas as a couple together. He needed her beside him. It wasn't the same. The Christmas spirit didn't fill him like it
usually did. He tried his best to put on
a front for his family. But he knew he
was slowly breaking down with every unwrapped present.
"OH MY GOSH!! Thank you Justin. It's the one that I wanted!" John yelled breaking Justin of his thoughts
of Meredith.
"I'm glad you like it
buddy." Justin forced a grin and
ruffled John's hair as he found another present.
"Big J, this one is for
you!" John put it in his brother's
face. His mother quickly snatched the
present away and laughed nervously.
"Not yet honey. We are saving that one for later." She placed it beside her chair.
"So, what do you say we go
eat?" Justin sighed. Maybe food could rid his mind of her. He really doubted it though.
"Great idea."
-------------
Justin massaged his temples as he
and his family watched his younger brother attempt to play with one of his many
new toys. He remembered being that young
during Christmas. He wish he could turn
back the clock and go back to being that young.
But then again if he was that young, SHE wouldn't be with him. He was driving himself mad. He had to get out of here. He couldn't believe he wanted to just go home
and mope instead of being with his family on Christmas. She had now consumed his world. Without her, nothing else mattered. He was completely infatuated with her.
He NEEDED her there.
He had promised his mother he
would stay at her house all day for Christmas.
She had told him that she knew it was hard. But he didn't care. This was a big deal. He didn't even care what his mother
thought. He was REALLY missing her.
"
"What is it, mom?" Justin asked forcing another smile.
"You'll see. Here, open it."
"A phone?" He looked at his mother with a raised
eyebrow.
"Pick it up, answer it."
She smiled brightly.
"Umm, OK!" Justin rolled his eyes wondering what was
going on. He flipped open the cells
phone and brought it to his ear.
"Hello?"
"Well, its about time. I've been waiting for forever!" Meredith's voice filled his ears and he
immediately started smiling one of the few smiles he had shown all day.
He smirked and pretended to be
annoyed. "What is this? I could
have called you myself. Or you could
have called me. You didn't have to buy
me ANOTHER phone."
"You are so dense. But I love you. This isn't your REAL present J. Now you must do everything I tell you."
"Yes master."
"THAT'S what I like to hear.
OK, go to the front door." Justin
walked to the front door.
"All righty, what next?"
"Open the door,
blockhead. Step outside and look in the
driveway, your present is waiting. I have to go. Have a Merry Christmas." With that she hung up the phone. He looked at the phone questionably and
stared at the wooden door in front of him.
He was confused.
So, he did what he was supposed
to. He swung open the door, unaware of his
family's happy faces behind him, stepped outside and looked in the
driveway. He opened his mouth in shock
and felt his eyes begin to water immediately in joy.
Sitting on the hood of her car,
with the windows rolled down and her radio blasting *Nsync's "The Only
Gift", and a HUGE red bow placed on her head, was Meredith. She was looking around pretending to look
like she didn't notice him and eating a candy cane.
"OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Justin yelled with joy and immediately ran towards her. He stopped right in front of her and picked
her up off her car and swung her around in the air laughing and crying with
joy. The bow fell off her head but
neither was paying attention. He placed
her back on the ground and immediately wrapped her in his arms and kissed her
passionately. When he pulled away she
looked up at him with a big surprised smile.
"Well, Merry Christmas to you
too!" Meredith giggled and wiped
away the few tears that had escaped from his eyes and continued eating her
candy cane. He leaned down and held her
while gently kissing her neck.
"I love you. I can't believe you did this. I was DYING without you." He whispered in her ear.
"Well let me tell you
something, I'm DYING in this sweatshirt.
Which, by the way, sorry I'm not all dressed up. You know how I am with planes and being
comfortable. Anyways, I forgot that it never goes below 65 here. It's 25 degrees in
He sat on her car and was now
eye-level with her. "Shut up. I don't care about the stupid
weather!" He laughed at her when
she glared at him.
"Did you actually think I
could spend Christmas away from my sexy and fun and caring and sweet and cute
and wonderful boyfriend?" She asked
as she stretched her arms around his neck and pulled in close to him.
"I was seriously thinking
about getting on a plane and flying up there.
But you had already done it! I couldn't stand to be away from you on
Christmas." He wrapped his arms
around her and brought her as close as possible to him. He rested his forehead on hers. And she stuck the last piece of candy cane in
his mouth, letting her fingers rest on his lips.
She whispered, "I love
you."
He pushed the candy to one side of
his mouth. "I love my present."
He giggled as she leaned in and gently touched his lips with hers,
passing the candy back into her mouth.
After a few minutes of just kissing and cuddling and being a couple,
"Hey you two! Get in here.
And Justin stop hogging her. We
want to see her too!"
"Yes, mother." He quietly said as he scooped Meredith up in
his arms and carried her into his house.
She was laughing hysterically.
"
"You could get implants and
be Pamela, Jr." He kissed her
earlobe and put her down. She raised an
eyebrow at him and playfully shoved his shoulder.
"You annoy me." She said like she always did to him.
"Well, look at that. How did that get up there?"
"Mom, that was not there when
I went outside."
"I know." She said smugly and brought out her
camera. "Now let me get a picture
of yall."
Justin groaned at his mother and
turned his eyes towards Meredith who was blowing kisses to her
"boyfriend," John.
"Are you cheating on
me?" He asked her annoyed.
"Yup!" She smiled at John and he ran up to her and
hugged her.
"I missed you
girlfriend. Even though I saw you last
week. Justin kept talking about how he
missed you too." She hugged him back
and looked up at Justin.
"Is that so..." She
dragged out. Justin rolled his eyes. He
nodded towards the mistletoe and gave his infamous crooked smile. John ran off to find one of his toys to show
her but while he was gone, Justin swept Meredith off her feet and kissed her
fully on the mouth.
"Honey, let Meredith and
Justin be alone." She pushed him
into the den with his new toys.
"But mommy..." He
whined.
She said firmly,
"Jonathan."
"I know, let Meredith and
Justin be alone." He bowed his head
and stomped off to play with his toys.
Justin had already led Meredith
upstairs into his old room. It was
fairly empty but there were a few posters and things left in there.
He immediately began kissing her
neck as he walked backwards into the room.
She laughed and asked him, "what are you doin?"
"Can I just makeout with you
for a while, please?" He asked
boyishly.
"I guess. But I have to give you your present
soon. I don't want to blurt it out by
accident."
"Well, I'll keep you
quiet." With that he pressed his
lips to hers and led her to the bed. She
lay down on her back and Justin crept up over her smiling evilly. She shook her head and he kissed her lightly
on the lips. Meredith placed her hands
on his shoulders as he rested against her body and she opened her mouth a
little to let her tongue mingle with his.
Between kisses they would mumble "I love you."
