"JC?" a groggy Hayley asked as she openned her eyes.

"yea, I am sorry I didn't mean to....."

"What baby? you didn't wake me, I did that on my own, I smelt your cologne in the room. It is intoxicating" Hayley said, she held out her arms to JC who threw his notebook on the chair and went to her.

"mmmmmm she said into his neck this is nice"

JC pulled away from her and looked at her, he tilted her face towards hers and they shared a kiss.

"You are so beautiful Hayley" JC told her

Hayley smiled at him, running her finger over his lips "As are you"

Hayley held onto JC tightly, earlier when they were kissing she had stopped things from going too far, and for that strength she was grateful. Now she looked at him, his body holding her's. The smell of him almost too intoxicating, JC slid down next to her on the bed, he pulled her into his arms, she felt safe wrapped up in him. JC lowered his head to her neck and began to lightly place small kisses all along her neck, he delicately licked the nape, and sent shivers through her.. She reacted my letting out a soft moan. JC pulled away and started to say something.

She placed her fingers on his lips, and shook her head. She took her mouth and returned the favor, she kissed his neck,. she licked behind his earlobe and back down. He let out a soft noise of his own. They lockd eyes and had to make a decision right then, both of them knew what the right decision was, but they were both still considering their options.

JC broke the silence between the two of them "Hayley" he said giving her a look.

"I know JC, I never expected it to be this hard" Hayley said.

JC snickered and debated whether he should make a snide male comment, and Hayley saw what he was thinking and lightly pinched his side.

"OW!" he said with a laugh, rubbing at the spot that was nipped, jumping off the bed. JC looked at Hayley and informed her "It was on" before she could say another word, he was tickling her. She was laughing so hard she could barely catch her breath. They dropped onto the bed with JC sitting on top of her, her arms pinned behind her and hayley laughing so hard she was crying. When he finally got off of Hayley, and let her go, they decided they had better rest before someone came and ruined this for them. They slid onto the bed and laid together and again, Hayley with her head on JC's chest. Both still giggling, but at least trying to settle down.

The two couples settled in for their rest, all four wondering what laid ahead next but all content to let whatever happened happen.

The silence of the two rooms came to an abrupt end, when they were both told they had one hour till they had to be at the stadium. The knock on the door roused JC first who pulled hayley into a closer hug first and lightly kissed the top of her head.

"hayley, baby doll. Are you awake?" JC asked in a small whisper.

Hayley stretched a little bit and let out a sigh "yes sweetheart I am getting there"

"we have to get ready to go" JC said matter of factly.

"I know babe, I just don't want to move yet. This is as close to perfect as my world can get" Hayley said, still not moving her head from JCs chest.

JC reached down and tipped her face up to meet his, he looked into her eyes and let every ounce of emotion he felt for her come out. He leaned down to her and kissed her on the lips, gently licking her lip so she would part her's a little more, they shared a kiss that was full of passion but also had an undeniable sense of heart to it. When they parted Hayley looked at JC and said "JC if you kiss me like that one more time we will never get out of here"

JC raised an eyebrow at her and gently leaned down to place a light kiss on her lips. "You are right sweetheart" he stretched and struggled to get up. He got off the bed and offered her his hand, she took it and he pulled her up and into his arm, he gave her a full body hug, that sent shivers down her spine.

"I guess I better go get ready" she said

"Yea and i have to run to my room and do some stuff too, pick you up in 30 minutes?" he asked.

"Yes or I can meet you" Hayley offered.

"No Hayley this is a date, I will pick you up" JC said, as if to seal their deal he leaned down and kissed her on the lips.

Hayley shook her head and walked JC to the door, she kissed him one last time before he stepped out of it. She shut the door and leaned against it. she closed her eyes and smiled. "Perfect" she thought.

In the other room, Joey and Kaycee were having problems getting motivated to leave the bed. Kaycee had tried to stir Joey by leaving little kisses on his neck and it woke him up, but it also drove him over the edge. He rolled over and tucked her underneath him, retaliating with kisses of his own, he kissed her neck, he kissed down her arms, kissed her hand and then sucked on each finger. Joey was killing her, and he knew it. "well I guess you are awake" Kaycee sighed heavily.

Joey snickered "yes I am" and he lowered his head and nuzzled her neck.

"Joey...." Kaycee said quietly.

"yes Bella"

"If you don't get off of me and we don't get moving now, 20,000 fans are going to be disappointed" Kaycee said giggling

"well at least one fan won't be" Joey said with a hungry tone

"alright Joseph.. lets go.. come on" Kaycee said starting to get up.

"Joseph?? aww man you must be serious"

Joey peeled himself away from Kaycee and got up, he reached down and helpd her up. She smiled at him and gave him a warm hug. He looked at his watch and mumbled something about "needing to hurry" Kaycee tried to step out of Joey's arms but he didnt want to let go, she told him "baby we gotta go! we can continue this later" Joey knew she was right but he didn't want to let her out of his arms, not for a minute. When he finally did it was because someone pounded on the door and screamed "LETS GO!" he knew that meant he had 10 minutes till he HAD to leave the hotel. He excused himself from Kaycee by telling her he would be back to get her shortly. He kissed her again and touched her face lightly with his hand.

Arriving at the arena was the easy part, Hayley and Kaycee checked in with who they were supposed to, were given all access passes to wear and managed to still sneak kisses with JC and Joey. Kaycee noticed that Hayley was currently residing on every cloud from 1-9. She smiled at her friend, "FINALLY" she thought. "Happiness for Hayley!" Hayley had her share of bad relationships, from the guys who wanted her because she was beautiful to the neanderthals tht scraped their knuckles on the ground, but the worst ever and the one that Hayley could not speak about was Troy Evans. In college when Hayley had finally told him, she was done and could take no more, Troy proceeded to tell anyone who would listen things that were not just untrue they were downright horrifying. Kaycee saw the smile on Hayley's face as she met with Lonnie to find out if Sarah had arrived, and she watched Hayley light up when Lonnie told her yes and told her he would bring her back shortly.

Kaycee smiled for herself too, she didn't want to admit it, not yet. But she knew she was in love with Joey. How she had fallen so fast was beyond her, but with Joey it was easy. He was the first man who could really wear a superman tshirt and get away without any hidden meaning it might hold. Kaycee watched him talk to someone from the local media, he looked right at her and said something to him about "Yes she is right there". Without any warning, Joey called her over to him. "Bella, come here please??" joey asked sweetly.

Kaycee looked at him but walked over "Yes Beau" she said.

"This gentleman asked if I am seeing anyone serious, and I told him with your approval, yes" Joey said with directness but looking for an answer.

Kaycee looked right at the media guy and then at Joey and told him "Yes Joey and I are dating." She looked at Joey again after her answer and saw his eyes dance, they sparkled more in that moment then they had all day. He leaned down and kissed her, he apologized for putting her on the spot, and she shook her head no.. She raised a finger on to Joey's lips, and told him honestly "Joey the idea of being your girlfriend is wonderful, I meant what i told him"

"I did too Bella with all my heart." and with that Joey lowered his head to her's and took a drink of his girlfriend, kissing her to the point where both of them had weak knees and Justin yelled from across the room, "GET A ROOM"

Joey laughed as he looked at Kaycee. "Forgive him baby, hes too young to see something great right before his eyes"

"Blow Goats Fatone" Justin responded putting up a gesture to him Kaycee and Joey laughed and went back to their kiss, ignoring Justin and shutting out the rest of the world too.

Hayley stood with Lonnie nerbously, she was pacing back and forth and Lonnie was ready to pick her up and move her away from the stage door. Finally, there was a knock, Lonnie openned it and there stood a little girl and her mother. Hayley knew in an instant who it was, she walked right up to Sarah and gave her a hug, Sarah looked at her and said "My mom said to say thank you, and to tell you "you are very nice" ok?"

Hayley laughed and said "well you are welcome, you want to go see someone who has been wondering about you Sarah?" Sarah shook her head and placed her hand in Hayley's. Hayley walked up to JC and tapped him on the shoulder, he turned around and looked right at her and Sarah and his face lit up.

"SARAH!! Oh my God girl! how are you?" JC said picking up the young lady and spinning her around.

Sarah giggled and said "I am ok JC, Hayley found me said you were looking for me"

JC looked at Hayley with absolute wonder in his eyes "She did?" he said

Hayley shook her head and so did Sarah. JC reached over and grabbed Hayleys hand squeezing it, he mouthed the words "Thank you" and Hayley could see the tears in his eyes.

"You are welcome" she said back and started to walk away to give them a minute.

"Sarah? Would you mind if my girlfriend hung out with us?"

JC asked

"Noo JC, is it Hayley??" She asked with a giggle.

"Well you know Sarah, that is a good question, I have not asked her, do you think I should?" JC asked with a wink.

"Yep I do, shes a nice lady" Sarah replied.

Hayley stood there frozen in her spot, just looking at the two of them holding a conversation as if she was not there. She smiled, this was wonderful. So much more wonderful then she had even hoped for.

"Hayley, Sarah and i want to know if you want to be my girlfriend" JC asked

"Hey Sarah come here for a sec" Hayley said smiling.

Hayley leaned down and whispered something in her ear, and Sarah leaned up smiling at JC. She looked at him and said "Hayley said she wants to be your girlfriend, but that I can still be your friend too ok?"

JC smiled and said "I think that is perfect". JC put his arm around each of his two ladies, squeezing his arm a little around Hayley, telling her thank you.

As if on cue, the announcement was made that it was time to get ready and Sarah, Hayley and Kaycee all had to go find their seats. Hayley introduced Sarah to Kaycee as her best friend, and Sarah wanted to know if she could some day date Justin and hang out with them too. All three girls laughed, and went off to find their seats. During the concert, Joey and JC could not keep their eyes off of the trio. Even stopping at one point during "This I promise you" and looking at Sarah and Hayley, both of them smiled and held hands. Screaming and applauding and having a grand time.

Joey looked at Kaycee during the show, his mind was not on the dance moves tonight or the music, it was on Kaycee. Seeing her in the audience was wonderful, but wanting her in his arms, was what he really wanted. He could not wait for the show to end so he could hold her and kiss her. During the show he sent a card out to her via security.

"Bella.... 1/2 way through the show missing you like crazy Love, Joey"

Her heart skipped a beat and as she folded it up and put it in her bag she looked up to see her boyfriend smiling at her. She held up her hand in the sign language sign for "I love you" Joey looked at her, almost doing a double take praying he had not just dreamt that, he too held up his hand signaling the same thing to her and mouthing the words. Lance came over to him and tried to drag him back into the show.

"Joey, you still with us?" Lance whispered.

"Yea Lance I am here, I am just lost in the eyes of my angel"

Lance groaned and lightly slugged Joey, come on dude "Space Cowboy"

They finished the show, and returned backstage. JC gave Sarah his mom's address and told her to write him and keep him up to date on her, even when she had a date so he could go stake it out and make sure the boy was suitable for her, maybe send over some security if need be. Sarah laughed and hugged JC, she gave Hayley a big hug too and Hayley gave her an email address she could reach her at. Sarah made her rounds hugging everyone from Chris to Joey to Kaycee to Lance and finally she made it over to Justin.

"Hey Justin, in seven years look me up ok? I'll be 18, and  then we should date" Sarah said boldly.

Hayley shot a giggling Kaycee a glare. she knew her friend had dared Sarah.

"sure thing Sarah doll" Justin said and leaned down to kiss the girls cheek, Sarah's hand came up and touched her cheek and with a dazed look on her face her mother finally got her out of there.

Hayley and Kaycee fell on to the couch in the backstage area and sat, exhausted but happy. They waited for JC and Joey to come out and talked a little bit.

"Hayley. I am in love" Kaycee said.

"No kidding Kay.. I knew that this morning" Hayley replied.

"Yea i know.. and you know what else Hayl. You are too"

"I am not sure if that is...."

"The hell its not true, Hayley. You can fool lots of people but you can't fool me"

"yea i know. I gues you are right"

"Don't guess Hayley.. KNOW"

Hayley laughed and leaned her head on her friend's shoulder, and rested for a minute. Joey came out first and walked over to Kaycee.

"Hey Bella.. did you miss me?" He said gruffly.

"yes Beau baby, you know I did"

Hayley moved off of Kaycee's shoulder and Joey pulled her to her feet. He leaned his face to her's and the lips met. "I love you" Joey whispered.

Kaycee stood back and looked at him, she looked into his yes and he said it again "I love you" She could not contain her smile and she told him back "I love you too baby" They hugged and held on for a minute.

Finally JC wandered out, he had someting in his hand. He walked over to Hayley and placed it in her hand, closing her hand around it. Hayley openned her hand to find a charm of a "J" on a chain, she looked at it slightly confused.

"Its for you to wear, if you want, I mean you can say no"

"NO? I would be honored JC.. ."

JC smiled and swung his girlfriend around, pressing his lips against her's, Hayley laughed and brushd her hand against his cheek.

"I have nothing to give you" She said sadly.

"Yes you do baby.. and you already did. You gave me the best gift"

Hayley looked at him confused.

"Hayley baby, you brought Sarah to me. Do you know what that meant to me? Do you know why it took me so long to get out here??"

Hayley shook her head no and stood back to look at JC.

"It took me so long because I went back and dropped to my knees to thank God for you Hayley." JC said to her, with his hand brushing the loose strand of hair that had fallen in her face. "I am blessed to have you, and I don't intend on letting you go"

Hayley smiled and pulled herself into JC's arms, kissing him and hugging him. This was the happiest she had been in a long time, now all she had to do was somehow summon the strength to tell him so. 

Hayley returned to her room and fell on to her bed comletely exhausted, she and JC had parted ways a few minutes ago so he could go take a shower, he kept telling her he stunk bad. Hayley was so wrapped up on cloud nine she had barely noticed. She figured she had said good night to JC, so she had plenty of time to take a bubble bath and relax. All she could think of was, how unreal the past few days had been, if she was dreaming she prayed that no one ever wake her. She drew her bubble bath, and laid her clothes out on the bed. She settled into her bath and closed her eyes, letting the water wash over her. She was so far gone, she did not hear when JC knocked on the door, or when not getting an answer he knockeda little harder.

JC was worried beyond belief, not knowing what was going on, he used his key to walk in the room. He looked in the living area, then in th bed room, and finally he saw light coming from under the bathroom door, he headed over to open the door and saw Haley sound asleep. He walked over to where she sat in her bubble bath, he looked at her and smiled "Beautiful" he said quietly, but she did not stir. He leaned down and kissed her lips lightly, she began to respond. He deepend the kiss ever so slightly and she raised her bubbly hand against his cheek.

"MMMMMM" she said.

"I thought you were in bed" JC smiled down at her and said "No, I took my shower and missed you, so here i am, is it ok?"

Hayley openned her eyes and smiled at him "Its fine sweetheart, do me a favor?" she asked.

"Anything baby" he said with a voice full of temptation he was trying to fight. "Go get my clothes off the bed and bring them to me" Hayley asked.

JC hopped to his feet an went off to get the clothes, his mind was reeling, she was laying in a bath tub covered in bubbles and it was driving him crazy! He went out to the bed and picked up Hayleys PJ's. They were simple at best, just a tshirt and a pair of silk boxer shorts, upon closer examiniation he saw the tshirt was one of Garth Brooks. JC smiled and brought the clothes to his girlfriend.

"What is the meaning of this?" he asked in a playful annoyance.

"What??" Hayley asked looking upset till she saw his smile.

JC held up the tshirt of Garth, and Hayley could not stifle her giggle "Oh that.. that is my PJ's baby.. I like to sleep with Garth at night"

JC threw the shirt behind him, and let it fall on the floor, he walked over to Hayley and planted a firm kiss on her "Baby I think we need to get you a new shirt to wear to bed"

Hayley reached for JC's shirt, his cologne intoxicating her, she pulled him into the bath tub with her. "so you don't approve of my PJs huh baby.. what should I wear then?" Hayley asked with a seductive tone that JC had not heard before but he determined right then he REALLY liked.

"I dunno baby. but i am kind of fond of what you are wearing right now"

"Bubbles?" Hayley said slyly

"Well ,yea the bubbles are a nice touch, but whats under the bubbles works too" JC said looking at her and tracing a finger down her body.

Hayley leaned her head up as JC was leaning his towards her, they shared a deeply passionate kiss. When they parted JC looked Hayley in the eyes and as if she knew what he was trying to say she shook her head.

Hayley unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt and helped him peel it off, For the first time they touched bare skin to bare skin. They kissed and touched and explored just enough to know that the heat in the room made the temperature of the tub water pale in comaprison. JC pulled himself out of the water and grabbed a towel, he reached to Hayley after he driied himself a bit and helped her out, he wrapped her up in the towel and held onto her to keep her warm. They shared numerous kisses, with JC driving Hayley up the wall, JC looked down at Hayley and whispered her name

"Hayley baby.. do you want me to stop?" JC asked with a tone that told her what he wanted.

"No baby, I want this, and I know its soon, but God I want   this"

Hayley answered with a kiss.

JC took Hayleys hand in his, and gently led her to the bed room.

She still held her towel over her body, ready for whatever place JC was going to take her to. When they got close to the bed, JC sat down on the edge, his still wet pants clinging to him. He reached up to Hayley and looked at her, moving his hand down the side of her body, tentatively he reached for where the towel covered her, releasing the towel from her body and leaving her in front of him completely naked. Hayley leaned her head into JC's and they shared a kiss, his hands freely ran over her breasts her stomach, touching her in ways she had only dreamt of until that point.

JC pulled Hayley down with him on the bed, laying over her and kissing her, covering her with sweet kisses that sent her body shivering,. Hayley reached for the waistband of JC's pants and pulled them off of him, the two of them laid next to one another nothing left between them. "Hayley," JC whispered.

"yes baby" Hayley answered him

"I want you so bad baby, but I have to tell you first"

Hayleys heart lept into her throat "Yes JC" she said seriously

"Hayley, I love you" he said and covered her face in kisses.

"I love you too JC" she replied, stopping his small peck of kisses and being taken over by a deep wonderful kiss. "Make love to me baby"

And that was all that Hayley had to say, their relationship had moved to another level, not just physically but emotionally and mentally as well. JC and Hayley became one mind and one body, while holding onto each other for the ride of their life. JC looked down at his love after they had made love and said sweetly.

"Now see isnt that better then sleeping with Garth" Hayley smacked JC lightly on the shoulder but even she had to confess "yes it was perfect". They wrapped themselves up in each other and feel into a peaceful satisfied sleep.

Joey and Kaycee stopped by his room on the way to her's, he had went in to grab a clean tshirt and some pants. He had already invited himself to shower in her room, which was fine with Kaycee she didn't want to let this man out of her sights. After grabbing everything he grabbed Kaycee's hand and kissed the top, "come on Bella". They stepped onto an elevator to head down to her room, when the doors shut and they were completely alone, Joey turned to Kaycee and gave her a powerful kiss, the kiss made her weak in the knees and made her paranoid that when the doors openned someone would see these two engaged in a serious kiss but not so paranoid that she could not enjoy the kiss.

She felt the elevator come to an abrupt stop and pulled away "Joey the elevator just stopped"

Joey  breathed into her "Yes Bella.. on purpose"

Kaycee smiled at Joey, "and why did it stop on purpose" she asked through kisses.

"because Bella, I wanted it to" he said with a hearty growl.

Kaycee laughed and kissed him some more, she could not believe they were making out in an elevator. Joeys hands had wandered all over her upper body, and her hands were returning the favor.

Joey hit the button and the elevator began to move again, "Bella... lets take this somewhere else ok" Joey asked her with an undeniable urge she heard in his voice that told her he wanted more just not here.

"Whatever you want baby" she said sweetly and in a irresistable tone that Joey was convinced before long would be the death of him.

They made their way to the room, Joey swiped the door with the key and it openned, he followed her in, his hands eager to explore her body. But she wanted something else and he could see it in her eyes.

"Bella, whats wrong?" Joey asked.

"Nothing sweetheart, I just don't want this to end" She said sadly.

"Want what to end?"

"This moment, any of this" Kaycee replied tears welling in her eyes

"Kaycee.. it won't end. This is NOT something casual for me"

"BUT...."

"No Kaycee! No But's! I am not going anywhere. I love you cant' you see that?" Joey asked looking at her seriously.

Kaycee locked gazes with Joey in that one split she saw everything he was trying to convey to her. She shook her head yes and tears began to fall.

"Oh God Bella, Don't cry. Please don't cry" Joey pulled Kaycee into his arms, holding her abd letting every ounce of emotion she felt spill over. Joey tilted Kaycee's face to his, he gently kissed away the tears on her cheeks, kissed her eyelids, and finally settled his mouth lightly over hers. when they parted he looked at her, his hands still holding her face. "Kaycee, I love you baby, and I know this has been a whirlwind and it has for me too but Baby Please please don't ever doubt that I love you."

Kaycee placed her hands over Joey's, she looked at him and shook her head "I love you too Joey"

Joey pulled Kaycee over to the bed, and sat her down. He sat next to her and kissed her sweetly. "Baby doll, I am going to go take a fast shower, wait for me?"

Kaycee smiled "Yes babe, I will wait" Joey walked away and went to go take his shower, and Kaycee got a devilish smile on her face. She jumped up off the bed and grabbed him from behind. "Don't think that your going to leave me just like that!" She said. She then reached around his waist and grabbed the buckle of his pants.

"What are you doing?" Joey inquired. "Well, you said you wanted to take a quick shower so I figured I would help you in getting in and out quickly." She then proceeded to undo his belt and pants.

Joey turned on a dime, and began helping Kaycee out of her clothes, his eyes twinkling. "I am hoping this means, my shower won't be alone"

Kaycee snickered "Would I have attacked you if I was going to let you go in there alone?" Joey grabbed Kaycee's hand and they walked to the bathroom. He started the shower and began to kiss her, he kissed his way from her mouth down to her belly before they stepped in the shower. Kaycee stepped in and Joey stepped in behind her, he gently kissed her shoulders down her arms. She turned to face him and he took that opportunity to kiss her with all the passion he had. He pulled away and looked at her, just stood their looking, they were wrapped up in each other. Joey and Kaycee quickly scrubbed each other off and got out of the shower. They dried each other off kissing and touching. Without warning, Joey scooped Kaycee up in his arms and carried her into the room. He laid her on the bed and slid down to join her. They made love until they could not move or give of each other any more. They held onto each other and fell into a peaceful sleep.

Joey was content having shared his love with kaycee and Kaycee content knowing she was indeed quite loved by this man.
