~Chapter 6~
~Chris' House~
"So, where did Chris meet you?" Justin asked.
"My car had broken down, Joey picked me up, brought me here, & well, you get th idea," Kathryn answered.
"So, are you & Chris...dating?"
"No. God no," she chuckled. "We're just friends. I have my eye on someone, & it's definately not Chris."
"Oh." Justin bit his lip lightly. "I'm sorry, but you look so dang familiar... What did you say you're name was again?"
"It's Kathryn. Kathryn Laurence."
"L-Laurence?"
Kathryn nodded.
"Um... I think I need a drink of water."
"Alright. I'll be right back."
Justin watched as Kathryn walked out into the kitchen. "It can't really be her," he thought to himself. "It's impossible. But if it is her, why would she be here?" When Kathryn walked back into the room with a glass full of water, she sat next to him & handed it to him. "Here you go. Are you okay?"
He took a gulp from the water. "Yes. Thank you."
The phone rang, making Justin jump. "You sure you're okay?" Kathryn asked, reaching for the phone as Justin nodded. "Hello?" she said into the phone.
"Kathryn?"
"Yes. Hey Chris, is everything okay?"
"Yea. Is Justin there?"
"Yep."
"Can I talk to him?"
"Sure."
Kathryn handed the phone to Justin.
"Yeah Chris, what is it?" Justin said into the phone.
"Hey, Dani needs some help on some paperwork at her house, so we're going to pull an all-nighter there. Okay?"
"Okay..."
"Can you stay the night with Kathryn?"
"Um... Sure."
"Thanks man. Bye," Chris hung up on Justin before he had the chance to say anything.
Justin hung up & set the phone on its charger. Kathryn looked at him & he looked at her.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"He has to take care of some work."
"And?"
"He wants me to stay the night with you."
"Oh. Alright."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kathryn woke up with a jolt & let her eyes adjust to the pitch black of the room. She looked at the clock & read the digital numbers. Two a.m. "Shit," she thought to herself.
A soft knock at the door, startled her slighty. "Come in."
The door opened & Justin poked his head in the room. "You are decent, right?"
"Yes, come on in."
Justin walked in the room. "I heard a yelp. Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I just had a nightmare."
"Oh. Hey Kathryn, can I tell you something?"
"Yea."
"My full name is Justin Randall Timberlake."
"Wait a minute," she said. "You're Justy Pup?! Justin, Lynn's son?"
Justin smiled & nodded. "I kinda thought you should at least know."
Kathryn smiled. "I can't believe it's actually you."
"Well, it is," he smiled.

~Three Months Later~
Justin & Kathryn saw each other quiet often & JC was furious. Kathryn was still living with Chris though.
At the moment, Chris & Kathryn were going over some files in the office at FuMan Skeeto, & Chris could tell Kathryn was beginning to feel pretty tired. "Why don't we call someone to pick you up? I can finish this by myself."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
"How about I call Josh?"
"Okay. I'll see you when we get up for breakfast," Chris smiled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Outside FuMan Skeeto~
Kathryn waited until JC pulled to a complete stop before she walked up to the door & got in. "Thanks for picking me up Josh," she said, buckling her seatbelt.
"It was absolutely no problem," he said, driving in the direction of Chris' house.
"If I fall asleep, can you be sure to wake me?"
"Of course."
Kathryn smiled & looked out the window. Soon she had fallen asleep & JC turned down the road for his own home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Kathryn woke, it was to the feeling of a warm & soft wetness pressing against her neck. She slowly realized that she was on a bed, naked, & that someone was kissing her neck. She opened her eyes & glanced at the person next to her.
"Josh?"
He looked up at her. "Oh good, you're awake."
"What's going on? What are you doing?"
"I'm sure you can figure it out."
