Chapter 1
Walking into a crowded club, Justin glanced around. Spotting a young brown-haired lady sitting by herself, he began to head towards her. "Hi!" he said, running a finger through his curly blonde hair.
"Hi," she said, staring at him.
"My name's Justin Timberlake," he said, stretching out his hand.
"Julia Cornell," she responded, shaking the outstretched hand.
"That name sounds so familiar!" Justin exclaimed. She only shrugged. "Do you want to dance?"
"Nah," she replied. Sitting down in the seat across from her, Justin stared into her green eyes. "Do you want a drink?"
"Uh," Justin said, caught off guard. "A beer, please."
"I'll be right back," she excused herself, standing up. Justin watched as she disappeared into the large crowd.
A few minutes later, she was back with two drinks. "What took you so long!?!" he chuckled.
"I swear this place must have the slowest bar tender EVER!" she giggled.
Justin took a sip of the bitter drink. "Do you have a boyfriend?" he asked her.
"What would you do if I said yes?"
Taking another sip, he said, "Then I'd say your boyfriend has the most beautiful girl on the face of the Earth!" She blushed.
"What if I said no?"
Placing his hand on hers, Justin stared into her eyes. "Then I'll ask you for your number." Julia smiled. "So, yes or no?"
She thought for awhile. "Not at the present."
"Well then, can I get seven digits?" he asked with a grin. Getting a black pen out of her purse, Julia wrote seven numbers on a napkin and gave it to him. "Thanks so much, beautiful!" Justin leaned over and kissed her tender lips.

Julia and Justin stepped out of the bar. "Can I drive you home?" Justin asked.
"Are you sure you can drive?" she asked, concerned. "You look like you're going to fall asleep!"
"Well, I am feeling a little drowsy!" He began to fall backwards, but Julia caught him.
"I think I'm gonna drive," she said, wrapping his arm around her.
Slowly, they made their way to an old station wagon. Setting him down in the passenger's seat, Julia climbed into the driver's seat and started the engine. "I don't know why I'm so tired," he yawned. "I only had one cup of beer!"
As Julia turned a corner, she looked over at the man. His eyes seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. "Perhaps it was something I put in the beer."
Justin stared at her, half-awake. "Wh-What did you p-put in my b-beer?" he asked.
"A VERY strong sleeping pill."
"Y-You?d-didn't," he said as his head began to nod. Within seconds, the only noise in the car was Justin's soft snores.
