The wind blew lightly, ruffling the autumn leaves. Each step being announced by the crunching sound the leaves made under the pressure of a shoe. Six shoes made noise throughout the before silent cemetary... six shoes: A pair of work boots, baby high-tops, and pink gelly sandles. "Daddy, I'm cold." The little girl commented as she wrapped her tiny arms around herself, shivering slightly. "I'm sorry baby, do you want my jacket?" Her father answered, knealing in front of her. Before she could answer he removed the oversized leather jacket and placed it on her little body. He laughed as he saw she seemed to be lost in his adult coat. He kissed her nose as she let out a little giggle. "I told you to get your coat." Tyler said indifferently. "Yes, you did, but she didn't think it was going to be this cold." Justin replied, trying to keep them from fighting in such a peacefull place. He just sighed and walked to the other side of his father, taking his hand. "AH!" The little girl grabbed onto her father's leg. "What? What?!" Justin yelled, alarmed. "THERE'S A BUG! A BIG NASTY BUG!" She screamed as the bug came closer to her leg, "DADDY!" She screamed again as she ran behind him. Justin laughed again as he picked up the little girl, he pushed a strand of her wavy blonde hair from her face. "You're SUCH a baby Calli," Tyler spat, looking down at the little waterbug crawling on the ground. "UH-OH! Watch out! It's getting bigger by the minute and it's coming to get you!" He yelled."DADDY!" Calli screamed again. "You can't cry for Daddy! It'll eat him first and then get you!" "Justin Tyler!" Justin hollored, taking his hand tighter, "Don't scare your sister." Tyler cringed as he heard his father use his full name, he never called him Justin... it would be confusing that way. "Fine..." Tyler pouted and walked away from Justin and Calli. His curls bobbed as he stomped his feet, "He ALWAYS babies her... why? Because she's a stupid girl with no mommy! Well I don't have a mommy either! If she was here she would love me and hate Daddy because he loves Calli more than me!" He screamed and continued stomping. "Calli, can Daddy please put you down for a minute?" Justin pleaded with the cute brown eyes. "Yes, I understand Tyler is a stupid brat and you have to love him too even though you found him under a rock... but... yeah." She replied with a wide smile. Justin shook his head as he placed Calli on the ground and went after Tyler. "Look here little boy, I don't know what your problem is but we are in a cemetary! You don't act like this in public! You have no idea what a bad father is! NO IDEA!" He scolded. "Dad... I'm..." Tyler tried to intervine. "I don't want to hear it anymore, I really don't... you can go to bed early tonight.""But... DAD..." Tyler again tried to get his attention. "If your mother could see you..." Justin started but noticed the tears in his son's eyes. "If she could see me what? She CAN'T see me! Don't you get it? SHE LEFT ME!" He yelled, "Ground me as much as you want! It won't do anything but make me hate you more!" He snapped. "Since when did five year old boys know how to speak to their father's like that?" Justin asked, honestly, "If I ever talked to my parents that way my ass would be redder than a clowns nose!" The two children gasped, "Daddy, you swore!" Calli enthused. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'll say it a million times but it just doesn't matter does it?! Do you think I wanted your mother to die? NO!" He grabbed both the children in his arms and walked to the car. "Dad, it's Mommy's birthday! We have to visit her!" Tyler called out. "Well, you didn't care about your mother's birthday when you were throwing your fit." He got both children in the car, fastening their seatbelts. He turned on the radio only to hear what he had been dreading all along. "Today on WXX1 we honor the birthday of Missi Angel Timberlake, one of the best female artists of all time. All day every hour, on the hour, we will play a medly of her greatest hits. Our still standing condolences go out to the Angel/Timberlake family." The excited male DJ made the announcement before her voice penetrated through the speakers... that beautiful voice... "Baby, you don't know what you do to me... what in your eyes I see..." He heard the familiar sentence and his vision blurred as his mind took him back to a previous time. "Justin, I wrote this song... ya gotta tell me how it sounds though, okay?" Missi said as she uncrossed her legs and stood out of the leather chair. "Alright baby, shoot." He replied with a smile. "Baby, you don't know what you do to me... what in your eyes I see... it's forever... I can't live a day without being in your arms... I just gotta hear the words... tell me you love me... no words ever sounded so sweet...this feeling i get when our lips meet... it's forever..." She sang as her eyes closed slightly. Slowly, her eyelids slipped over her hazel eyes and she was able to veiw his smile. "That was beautiful, Missi, but... I didn't know you were cheating on me!" He said with a smirk. "Riiiiiiight, I'd do that, he's a hottie too... his name's JC." She grinned. "OH MY GOD! My best friend!" He yelled. She sat down behind him and wrapped her long legs around his waist. "I'd never do that," She whispered in his ear as she began kissing his neck. "Make love to me, Justin." She said seductively. "Mmmm... you don't want to ruin your career and get pregnant, do you?" He whispered. "It wouldn't matter... as long as I had you..." |
