Chapter 10: Love Me
JC hadn't spoken to Justin the entire day. He avoided Justin at all
costs. He couldn't allow himself to go weak from Justin and be hurt the way he
has. He couldn't let Justin toy with his emotions any longer.
Justin had noticed that JC was avoiding him and sighed as he took a sip
from his water bottle. They were in the middle of sound checks for the
concert that night. He needed to talk to JC as soon as possible.
"Alright you guys, lunch time!" Johnny, the group's manager, called
out. He was in town to check up on the guys while they were on the road.
Justin smiled. This was his chance to speak to JC. He watched as JC
took a sip from his water bottle before walking over to him. "Hey, Jace."
"Hi," JC replied. He took his small towel and wiped the bit of sweat
from his brow. He didn't look at Justin. He couldn't look at Justin.
"JC are you mad at me or something?" Justin asked.
"Why do you say that?" JC said, the anger evident in his snappy tone.
"You've been avoiding me all day," Justin pointed out.
"Why do you care?"
"Why shouldn't I?" Justin said with a sigh. "JC what's the matter?"
"I heard you and Britney last night. I'm sure you had a pleasant
sleep," JC said. "Just tell me one thing. Why did you kiss me?"
Justin looked around and sighed in relief, seeing everyone had already
gone to lunch. "JC, I have something to say."
"What, Justin?" JC finally looked up at him.
"I'm gay," Justin said as he raked his hand through his hair. "Are you
happy now? I am gay."
"Justin, you are not gay. You were just with Britney last night."
"And I felt nothing! Not a damn thing. I fucked her and I felt nothing." Tears had made their way down Justin's cheeks. "God, JC, all I could think of was you."
"Me?"
"JC, ever since you kissed me that first time, I haven't been the same.
Now Britney hates me and I've never been so confused in my life and I
just..."
JC stopped his words with a kiss. He cupped Justin's face in his hands
and was met with a response from Justin. Justin wrapped his arms around
JC's waist and eased his tongue between JC's full lips. JC massaged Justin's
tongue with his own and their lips moved rhythmically together. Justin
pulled away slightly and sucked gently on JC's bottom lip before pulling away
fully. He licked his lips. "So...um...what now?"
JC slowly let his hands fall back to his sides. "I don't know. What do
you want?"
"To be with you," Justin replied simply.
JC smiled. "I want to be with you, Justin. Be mine?"
Justin nodded. He wanted nothing more than to be JC's.
JC flashed Justin a grin that made him melt. He placed a gentle kiss
upon Justin's lips. "Justin, you have no idea how long I've been waiting and
hoping that this day would come."
Justin smiled. "I'm glad it did."
JC sighed contentedly. It was official. He and Justin were together. It
felt damn good to have Justin holding him this way. He hoped that this
feeling of pure happiness would never end.
Justin placed a kiss on JC's cheek. With that simple gesture, he sealed
a promise of many more sweet kisses to come.
