The Virginia Beach Amphitheater was pitch black except for the
light from the florescent green glow sticks that were scattered in the
audience. At that exact moment, the screams of 18, 000 fans with
raging hormones arose and could be heard for miles. Every female
within the venue yearned for her first glance of her favorite member
of *N SYNC. Finally, to everyone�s surprise, the sexiest men on the
planet came down from the ceiling in a James Bond fashion,
fulfilling thousands of fantasies all at once.
�I love this part,� Vicki gleamed as she watched the show from
the right wing. �I am gonna have to suggest something as cool as that
for my boys to do on their next tour.� Vicki was the 24 year old
publicist for the Hott Boyz, a new boy band out of Orlando. They
had opened the show and were now lounging in their dressing rooms
as the real men performed. Vicki was an attractive 5'4 girl with a very
shapely figure and long sandy blonde hair. She was wearing CK
denim shorts and the newest FuMan babydoll Tee. Around her neck
hung all access passes for the whole "Boys OF Summer" tour.
Melissa stood next to Vicki and watched Chris intently, in awe of his
every move. �Oh My God! Vicki, did you see that?? Chris is workin�
it!� she said as she moved to the music without taking her eye off of
Chris. Melissa was Vicki�s 16 year old niece who toured with her
during the summer. She was almost a younger version of Vicki, she
too had long blonde hair and a very nice figure for a teenager. She
looked ready to rock with her hair up in a ponytail and always sported
her FuMan gear. She was so glad *N SYNC was starting the tour in
her hometown because she didn�t want to have to fly to get to them.
Her parents dropped her off and said goodbye for the summer. Vicki
and Melissa were practically inseparable, so when Vicki called and
asked her if she wanted to go on tour with her this summer, it was a
dream come true. Besides, goin to tour with her aunt was a good
opportunity for her to see the country and, most importantly, be near
Chris Kirkpatrick
�He is definitely workin� it!� Vicki agreed in a daze while staring at
JC and smiling. As �Here We Go� rang in everyone�s ears, Vicki
reminisced about how she had gotten to where she was today. The
first date of the biggest tour of the summer, and it was partly because
of the chance meeting of Steve Fatone at Orlando�s hottest club, The
Abyss. Steve and Vicki liked each other at first sight. They danced
and discussed each other�s careers. Vicki had just graduated from
Florida State with a degree in Communications . Steve�s brother had
a group who was looking for someone with her expertise, so he got
her a hook up. Vicki interned with *N SYNC for a year, doing
whatever needed to be done here and there for the guys. Steve and
Vicki dated for about three months before realizing how completely
incompatible they were, but they remained good friends. After her
internship it was obvious to everyone that she would be asked to stay
on with the band because she was a hot commodity. She was filled
with new ideas, and she knew exactly what the guys should say and do
at all times. They would be crazy to let her go! Vicki was relieved
when she formally became apart of the *N SYNC crew as their PR
assistant because that meant she didn�t have to be apart from the most
amazing man she had ever met: The soulful, sweet and considerate
Joshua Scott Chasez. Vicki and JC always had fun together,
laughing, joking and discussing music. They had a happy friendship
until Bobbie came along. Bobbie was introduced to JC through her
best friend Stacy from Wild Orchid. As far as Vicki was concerned
both Stacy and her bitchy friend were bad news. For some reason JC
stayed with Bobbie even though she treated him bad. No matter how
hard JC tried to please her she was ALWAYS screaming at him for
one reason or another. Often times JC wore sunglasses to hide his
red, puffy eyes after Bobbie would make him cry over a petty
argument. Not even the other guys could figure out why JC put up
with her. Vicki figured he stayed with her because the relationship
was convenient. She was there, she was beautiful, and during the rare
moments when she wasn�t yelling at him, she had kind of a sweet
side. Once Bobbie was in the picture, Vicki had few moments alone
with JC to talk and hang out like they used to. Vicki and Bobbie
couldn�t be in the same room without mumbling rude things about
each other under their breath. The tension was there and everyone
knew it. It was beginning to put a strain on JC and the atmosphere of
life jumping from city to city, award show to award show, video
shoot to video shoot. Finally Johnny Wright couldn�t let it go on and
he took Vicki aside during the �I Drive Myself Crazy� shoot.
�Vicki, can I talk to you for a second?� �Sure,� Vicki said turning
toward Johnny. She was getting sick of watching �Dr. Kravitz� jump
all over Joey take after take. She thought to herself �Why the hell is
Bobbie in this video?? I guess it could be worse. At least JC isn�t in
that chair!� �Vicki, I have noticed that you and Bobbie aren�t exactly
best friends,� Johnny started. �Yeah, I think that is pretty obvious.
But I can�t help that, you see how she is and how she treats Josh. He
deserves better. He doesn�t have to put up with her!� Vicki pleaded,
trying not to be heard by anyone else on the set. �I know, I don�t like
her either, but the fact is Josh cares about her and I don�t think she�s
going anywhere.� �So, are you saying that I am going somewhere?�
Vicki asked slowly, hoping for a negative response. �Listen Vic,�
Johnny said cautiously. �You are one of the greatest things to ever
happen to *N SYNC. The guys owe you a lot, they really do. But we
aren�t using you to your full potential. You deserve to be more than
just a PR assistant .� �What are you trying to say Johnny? Just spit it
out!� Vicki said, fearing his next sentence. �Vic, we are gonna have
to let you go.� �LET ME GO!?!?,� Vicki was confused and almost in
tears. �Wait, I am not finished, listen to me! You know about the
new group I am managing right?� �Yeah, umm, the Spice Boys or
something,� Vicki said still confused. Johnny corrected her, �The
Hott Boyz. They can really use someone like you. They are young,
talented and I need you to help them the way you�ve helped *N
SYNC. And there is more.� �What Johnny? What else could there
possibly be?� Vicki said exasperated. �I�ll give you a promotion to
publicist, which means a lot more money in your pocket. You�ll be
able to send little Melissa all kinds of stuff for her birthday with a
check like that! And just so you can see your man, the Hott Boyz are
gonna open up for *N SYNC on the summer tour that starts in July.�
�Well when does this switch go into effect?� Vicki inquired. �Well
the spring tour starts in 2 weeks and Bobbie is gonna be with us every
day. I am gonna need you back in Orlando getting things in order
with the Hott Boyz.� Johnny replied. �So you are telling me I have 2
weeks until my life changes forever?� Vicki said as she ran her
fingers through her hair in frustration. �Trust me,� said Johnny trying
to comfort her, �It�s for the best.�
Vicki thought that day was the worst of her life not only
because she was being forced away from JC, but because of what
happened later that night. After that final day of video shoot was over
Lance, JC, Justin and Chris went back to their hotel rooms to get
some rest. As usual, Joey wanted to party. Joey and Vicki went to
the nearest club. Joey was there because he was looking for some
action. Vicki was there to get her mind off of JC. While Joey
worked the crowd and the dance floor with his sexy moves and the
�club face,� Vicki worked the bar, with one Malibu and Pineapple
after another. In the midst of skanky women freaking all over him,
Joey glanced over and noticed Vicki sipping her third or fourth drink
miserably. He was for eager for some action, but he couldn�t let his
friend wallow in her misery that way. So Joey disappointed the ladies
and approached Vicki at the bar. His walk was confident and sexy.
He wore black Tommy jeans and a black silk shirt, and as usual he
was sexy as hell. Stride after stride, the phat one had the attention of
every female in the club as he powerfully walked away from the
dance floor.
�Vicki,� Joey said with concern, �It�s time to go.� Vicki looked up at
him pitifully. Joey could see the sadness in her eyes as he helped her
walk to the limousine. They entered the limo, and Vicki broke down
in tears and cried into her hands. She couldn�t take it anymore. Joey
didn�t know if he should try and comfort her or just leave her alone.
He let her cry until they arrived at the hotel. The limo driver got out
and said to Joey, �I�ll just sit inside until the lady calms down.�
�Take your time.� �Thanks.� Joey replied. Still unsure of what to do,
Joey moved closer to Vicki and put his arm around her. Vicki turned
and rested her head on Joey�s chest and continued to cry. �What the
hell is wrong with JC? Can�t he see that he deserves better than that
*#%&@??� �Shhhhhhhh...� Joey said while gently petting her head.
�I love him so much,� she continued. �I just want him to love me,
Joe. I would be so good to him. �I know Vicki. I know,� Joey
responded and kissed the top of her head gently. Vicki raised her
head and her sad green eyes met Joey�s. He gazed at her sweet face
which was streaming with tears. He seemed so concerned for her and
her feelings. Without thinking she closed her eyes and placed as soft
kiss on his cheek. She pulled back slightly and waited for a reaction
from the Italian Stallion. Joey then pulled her closer and placed his
lips on hers. Vicki responded and the two locked into a deep kiss.
So caught up in what was happening she seemed to forget about her
sadness. After the kiss Joey pulled away and said "Vic, I am so sorry, I
should never have done that! You aren't exactly in the best state of
mind right now." This was very unlike Joey, but Vicki was very
special to him, he valued her friendship. Assuring Joey that she was
fine and that she wanted this as much as he did, she pulled herself up
on his lap and straddled him. She started running her fingers though
his hair and began kissing him again. Joey put his arms around her
waist and was gently pulling her hair to make her head go back so that
he could move down and kiss her neck. He then continued to move
down and unbuttoned her blouse and slipped it off of her. An hour
later they both began to laugh and got dressed. They walked into the
hotel as if nothing had happened and the driver smiled and gave Joey
a wink. They got into the elevator still giggling and went up to the
12th floor. Joey saw Vicki to her room, kissed her on the forehead
and went to his room. As Vicki was entering her room the door
across the hall opened, it was JC! He said "What are you doing
coming in so late?" and she said "Oh I went clubbing with Joey, we
just got back" JC walked over and pushed the door open looked in,
and said "Where is he?" she said "He's already in his room" looking at
him confused. JC laughed and said "Yea, well he better be!" She then
said "Why are up this late, and where are you going?" He said "I'm
goin down to the vending machines because I can't sleep, Bobbie and
I had a fight tonight and I can't get it off my mind." "Surprise,
Surprise" Vicki said as she turned to go into her room. JC then pulled
her arm and said "Don't start! By the way I heard what happened with
Johnny today, you gonna be OK?" "I'll be fine, Goodnight." she said
as she walked in and closed the door behind her. She stood there
leaning against the door and began to cry again. Seeing him made her
remember her sad state, and realize she had just made a big mistake.
She figured that Joey was already asleep so she decided she would
wait and talk to him in the morning about it. She went to bed and
cried herself to sleep. She awoke the next morning at 9 am to the
sound of an alarm. She immediately picked up the phone to call Joey,
but there was no answer so she called Steve's room to see if he was
there. Steve told her that he had went downstairs to have breakfast
with Justin. So she hurried in the shower and got dressed in record
time so that she could catch Joey before he told anyone. She ran out
of the room and into the elevator and pushed the down button, telling
the elevator to hurry, she thought to herself she was probably too late.
And she was, as the elevator opened on the first floor, there stood
Justin. He looked at her and smiled and began to sing "Ride it, Ride
it, Ride it". She looked at him in disgust and pushed him out of her
way. She then turned to say..."Where's Joey?" Justin said "He and
Lonnie went to the bus, Joey left something on there". So she went
running outside and Lonnie saw her and said "Hey cutie, what's up?"
She smiled and hugged him and then asked if it would be ok for her
and Joey to have a moment alone. Lonnie said "No Problem." and
waited outside of the bus. Joey looked at Vicki and said "Uh oh, I
know what's wrong." She hugged him and said "Joey, I am so sorry,
but last night....." he stopped her in mid sentence and said "Vicki it's
OK, I understand, as long as we can remain friends I am fine with it.
It will never be brought up again." Vicki smiled at him and kissed
him on the cheek and said "You're the best Joey!" She then turned to
walk off the bus, but before she did, she turned back and said, "Did
you tell anyone besides Justin?" he looked at her shocked and said
'Uhhh NO just Justin" she said "OK good, don't tell anyone else and
tell him not to either" "OK babe I won�t" he said with a grin.
JC�s voice resounded in the amphitheater as �Here We Go� ended and
Vicki came back to earth from her flashback. She decided not to
torture herself any longer. �Let�s go and get some dinner Missy.� She
said while walking backstage. Melissa took her eyes off of Chris for
the first time during the whole song and reluctantly followed her
aunt. She could feel her stomach growling. �Don�t call me that! I�m
not 10 years old anymore, Vicki. My name is Melissa.� �Well
excuse me MELISSA, but we�ve got to get to the catering room
before the food�s all gone. You know how the Hott Boyz eat. Not to
mention Laurel, May, Meg and Jess. We might not get anything until
breakfast in the morning.� �Good point Vic....RACE YA!� Melissa
said playfully as she cut past her aunt and down the hall to the
catering room. �Damn it!� Vicki yelled as she tried to catch up with
her niece. �It�s gonna be a long summer.�
�Vicki! Melissa! Nice of you to join us.� Laurel greeted her
friends as they entered the catering room for dinner. She sipped her
drink and continued, �Since you�re up, could you grab me a napkin?�
�Me too.� May added. �Me three, � said Megan. �Could you bring
me a fork? I forgot to get one,� Jessica requested. �Fine, fine, fine,
we�ll be over there in a second,� Vicki said, half joking, half
complaining. Vicki and Mel prepared their plates and took seats at
the table with their friends. To them it seemed like they had been
friends all of their lives. Great friendships always seem that way.
May was *N SYNC�s 20 year old hair and make up specialist. She
was young, but still the best in the business. She stood very tall at
6�3 with short thick auburn hair and hazel eyes. She had a very nice
figure, and especially sexy legs, but she never showed either of them.
She rarely wore girly clothes, and on a regular day you would
probably find her in jeans and an Old Navy shirt. May met Vicki two
years ago when she first started interning with the guys. It was fun to
have another girl to hang out with on a tour filled with men. They
became very close, very quickly not only because of their similar
personalities, but because they could talk about each other�s secret
crushes. It took May a little while to notice just how special James
Lance Bass was. But once she did, there was no stopping her feelings
for him that grew everyday. Jessica was May�s 18 year-old younger
sister. Jess was 5�7 hazel eyes, and brown hair with blonde
highlights. Like Melissa, she toured with *N SYNC during the summers
because it was the most fun she could think of. She wasn�t attracted to any of
the guys in *N SYNC, but she loved being around the guys and their
crew since she was a natural comedian and they always laughed at her
corny jokes. Laurel always laughed at Jessica�s jokes because her
own were just as corny. Laurel was *N SYNC�s 19 year old
wardrobe specialist which was pretty ironic considering she wasn�t
very stylish herself. �I like making other people look good. It�s much
more fun,� she would say. Laurel had a bright smile and loud laugh
and could make any comment into a dirty joke. She was clearly the
�pervert� of the group and proud of it. The first to get Laurel�s
perverted jokes was always Megan. Megan was the Hott Boyz stage
manager and was very good at it. She was a beautiful 19-year old.
Her eyes were brown and very understanding. She had straight brown
hair and was very petite. The Hott Boyz could come to her with any problem
they had and she would respond in the kindest way . She and Vicki met only
2 months ago when Vicki left the *N SYNC crew and went to Orlando to work
with the Hott Boyz. They liked each other immediately, and when
rehearsals for the joint *N SYNC and Hott Boyz tour started, Megan
was welcomed by Vicki and her friends as one of their own. They
liked having a new friend around to learn about, and bond with.
Megan had known the other girls for only a few weeks, but she felt at
home with them around.
There was never a dull moment when these girls were together. The
six of them together always meant happy moments. Their friendships
withstood several storms and each time they came out closer than
before. Even though they had many things in common their
love for *N SYNC, the men and the music, was the bond that linked
the group of eccentric girls. Without *N SYNC they might never
have been united and become each other�s friends and confidants.
They were sisters, *N SYNC sisters and there was no stoppin them
now.
The group of friends were glad to be together on tour for the
summer, what they collectively were not glad about sat at a table
across the room. Their names were Danielle, Danielle, Bobbie and
Britney and besides being hated by every teenage girl in America, they
were despised by the Sisters for many reasons. Luckily, Britney and
Danielle Fischel were only on the tour for the first night. After their
booty calls with Justin and Lance, they would be gone for for a while,
then they would show up again for a replay. It made the Sisters sick.
Megan was the first to make a comment, �I swear if that bitch keeps
lookin over here I am gonna take this fork and make her left breast
spring a leak!� she said as she glared at Britney. "Not before I go over and
feed this chocolate bar to Fish�s �puka shell� dog.� May said angrily.
Danielle Fischel �Fish� as the girls called her stood for everything that May hated.
She slutted around with several guys and was proud of it. The fact that Lance
was one of these unsuspectingguys upset May to no end. Lance deserved
ommitment and stability and �Fish� would never give him that. �Fish� carried
her dog around in her purse and said it was such her �Puka Shell�.
�Here girl, here girl,� Megan thought to herself as she imagined
�Fish� reaction to finding her beloved puppy out of commission.
May smiled and chuckled to herself. Chris� girlfriend Danielle was
the most tolerable of the group. But she always felt like she should
side with the �girlfriends� and that made the sistas dislike her. She
was Chris� lap dog. She followed him around at all times, talked,
acted and dressed exactly as she was told. She even lost weight just
to please Chris. Besides the fact that she had no mind of her own, she
was an okay person. Melissa hated her because she had Chris, and because
she new that the only thing that made Danielle better for Chris was
her age. If she were 25, Chris would be hers, and she knew it.
�Anorexic moron,� Melissa said only loud enough for her friends
to hear. �Dude, what do the guys see in them? I don�t get it,� Jessica
asked. �I don�t wanna talk about it,� Vicki said with resentment as
she ate her pasta. �All I have to say is thank God Joey is single!�
Laurel said almost victoriously. �OH SHUT UP!!� her sisters replied
all at once. �Hon, in case you haven�t noticed, Joey is not single. He has a
different girlfriend every night and two on the weekends!� Jessica
said as all the sisters laughed. �Oh you got jokes??� Laurel asked her
friend as she balled up her napkin and threw it at her playfully. �Hey
Laurel�, May said, �I think I hear �For The Girl� ending. Isn�t it time
for the first wardrobe change?� �OH $#%&!� Lauren gasped as she
jumped up from the table leaving her food behind. She could hear
her friends� playful laughter as she raced to get in place before the
song ended.
Laurel got into position just in time for the wardrobe change. The
stage lights went dim and the crowd cheered as they eagerly awaited
*N SYNC�s return to the stage. Laurel had their costumes laid out
prior to the show, but she needed to be there during the changes to
make sure no one put on another guys clothes and that kind of thing.
In Laurel�s opinion the best part of her job was watching the guys
dress. She couldn�t help but enjoy it. All five of them were dead
sexy. Lance came in first and grabbed the hanger with his red suit on
it. It was time to dress for �That Thing You Do� and he greeted
Laurel, �Hello beautiful!� �Lance you are so sweet. Let me get that
for you,� she took his hanger and put it back on the rack. Justin
strolled in and already had his jersey off. �NO PEEKING!� He said
with his signature mischievous grin. He had thrown his sweaty jersey
on her head. �Maybe a few of the 13 year olds out there would like
that kind of thing, but not me baby, keep on dreaming!� Laurel said as
she hung it up. �You know you want me.� He replied. �Whatever!�
Laurel thought of Justin as a good friend. A good friend with a very
sexy body. She admired his six-pack. �How can a 19 year old look
so damn good? He is barely even a man and DAMN!� Laurel thought
to herself. There was one aspect of his body that not many people
noticed. He had the sexiest freckles on his shoulders that made his
flawless body even more perfect. Justin always took his time getting
ready. He liked to look good for all the girls out there who wanted
him. Chris ran in and said �Make room, make room, here I come.
Wassup La-La?� He said as he fumbled to get dressed. La-La was
his nickname for Laurel. She hated it. �Chris, can�t you call me
something else? Anything but La-La.� �Nah, that would make you
happy, and I like gettin on your nerves.� He passed her his hanger and
grinned. �Thanks,� Laurel said while laughing. �Hey, lay off her
Chris, that�s my job!� Joey had just arrived. Laurel was speechless
as she watched Joey enter the room. She dropped her hands at her
sides in amazement. Just to watch him walk drove Laurel crazy. He
strode past her to pick up his wardrobe and smiled at her. Laurel was
5�9 with black hair and dark brown eyes and light brown skin. She
stood in low cut denim jeans and a tight white tank top. She eyed
Joey intently as he lifted his Fila jersey over his head and revealed his
ripped chest. Laurel breathed a soft sigh and continued to watch.
Joey replaced the jersey with his black button down shirt. She
watched closely until each button was fastened. Joey attached his
clip-on tie and fixed his collar. Next he reached down, pulled off his
black track pants and threw them aside. This was Laurel�s favorite
part. It was known by all that Joey was well-endowed. They didn�t
call him the Phat One for nothing. Joey completed his wardrobe by
pulling on his black pants. As he pulled up his zipper he looked up
and caught Laurel staring. She realized she was caught and gasped in
surprised. Joey grinned and buttoned his pants. He looked Laurel
directly in the eyes as he walked over to her. He whispered in her ear
as he walked toward the door �You like that, don�t ya?� and headed
back onstage. Laurel composed herself and started collecting the
sweaty clothes so that they could be washed. JC was still hyper from
the opening set of songs. He grabbed his clothes and quickly dressed.
�AMERICAN WOMAN,� He sang while jumping around. He
flashed Laurel a smile. �That�s my song!� �Ya know you wouldn�t
be so hyper all the time if you laid off the crack JC,� Laurel said
jokingly. �You know I don�t do that kinda thing Laurel. I�m a good
boy.� JC replied as he grabbed Laurel and gave her a big sweaty hug.
�Ewww, now I am gonna smell like sweat for the rest of the night.�
�See ya in a few.� He said as he left. Chris, Justin and Lance
followed just before the amphitheater resonated with the finale, �And
that�s the way it was in the 60s.�
Chapter 3
The first show of the tour was a success. The Virginia Beach crowd
responded to *N SYNC like no other which made the city one of the
guys favorites from that day on. After the show *N SYNC and all
their crew returned to the hotel to relax and get ready for their early
morning flight to New Jersey. The Hott Boyz and their crew stayed
on the seventh floor while *N SYNC and their crew stayed on the
twelfth. The Hott Boyz were still gleaming with excitement over
their first big concert. �Did you see all those fine girls out there
dude?� Jaysun asked Adam. �Yeah Jay, the scenery was very nice!�
Adam agreed. Jaysun was the ladies man of the group. He stood 6
feet 1 inch tall with spikey black hair and dark brown eyes. His
muscular frame made him one of the favorite members of the group.
Most of his fans didn�t know exactly how sleazy he was. Jay would
sleep with anyone, anywhere. Adam was a lot like Justin as far as
attitude was concerned. He was cocky as hell and always got what he
wanted whether it was business or pleasure. Adam was 5�9 with
sandy blonde hair and green eyes. Just then Scott and Ray walked in
laughing. �Guys, Ray just got totally dissed by a girl out in the lobby�
Scott said holding his stomach from laughter. Scott was 6�2 with
brown hair and blonde highlights, he had beautiful blue eyes, and was
probably the sweetest member of the Hott Boyz. �Oh ya think that�s
funny do ya Scott?� Ray said as he tackled Scott and they wrestled on
the floor. Ray was 5�8 and had dark hair and brown eyes. He was the
prankster and always loved playing jokes on the rest of the guys. Just
then there was a knock at the door. Still laughing at Scott and Ray,
Adam got up and went to the door. �Who is it?� he asked. �Hey guys
it�s Vicki.� �Oh!� Adam said as he opened the door. He said �Hey
Honey� as he gave her a hug. � Hey Baby � she replied. Just then
Megan walked up. �Ya ready Vic?� Megan asked . �Yea� Vicki said
�I was just about to come find you�. �Well guys I just wanted to
come by and say that ya�ll did GREAT tonight, it was an awesome
show, and I think you guys really impressed NSYNC� Vicki said.
�Yea I was totally blown away!� Meg added smiling at Adam. �Well I
sure am glad to know I impressed you� Adam said looking at Meg
with a huge grin on his face. Meg just smiled and gave him a wink.
�All right boys, we are goin up to hang out with NSYNC, so we will
see you in the morning, make sure you get plenty of rest, we have an
early flight� Vicki said. �Bye Vic� the guys all said getting up to hug
her. Then they all said �Bye Meg� with a hug, but Adam seemed to
hold on a little too long. �Uhhh I need to go!� Megs said sweetly
pulling away. �Bye guys� she said as her and Vicki headed to the 12th
floor to party with NSYNC.
*N SYNC and some members of the crew and band were partying in
Steve and Joey�s adjoining suites. Vicki and Megan knocked on the
door and May opened it and let them in. �Hurry up and pour yourself
a drink, I am already up to three,� She said. Megan and Vicki laughed
as they entered. Steve shouted from across the room and pointed,
�Hey, I see people who aren�t holding drinks!� �I can fix that,� said
Joey as he approached Vicki and Megan with glasses. Jessica helped
Laurel to stand on the table. �I wanna make a toast,� she slurred her
words slightly. Everyone raised their glasses as she continued. �To a
very successful tour filled with fun, happiness and a lot of money!�
Justin was the first to ring in, �Here, here!!� Megan eyed Justin as he
sipped his Hawaiian Sunset. The whole room joined in the toast and
the party continued. �Damn it Vicki, if that boy wasn�t with Britney,
I would be all over him.� �Don�t let her stop you. If that�s what you
want, go and get it girl!� Vicki advised laughing. �Is she still here?�
Megan asked. �Hell no. Justin and Lance got some ass, and now
Bitchney and Fish are gone for a couple weeks until they need
another fix.� Both of the girls laughed and sipped their drinks. On
the other side of the room, May and Lance stood in conversation.
�So when did Fi-- I mean, Danielle leave?� May asked. �About an
hour ago. She needed to get back home. I think her mother�s
birthday is coming up or something,� Lance answered and then
bursted into laughter. �What??� May responded. Lance pointed
across the room at Jessica, �What in the world is your sister doing
over there??� Jessica had gotten on top of a table and was now
dancing and shouting �Uh Oh, Steve! I am feelin dis!� She grooved to
the song and then met eyes with Lance. She screamed, �Hey Lance,
my dawg, my brotha! Wassup??� Lance laughed and shook his head.
�I am so sorry, she has had too much to drink,� May explained to
Lance, �I am taking her back to the room.� Lance couldn�t help but
laugh, �It�s no problem, go ahead. Hurry back!� May was both
embarrassed and excited about what had just happened. As she led
Jessica back to the room she said, �I am gonna kill you for makin me
leave that party! Lance and I were having a good conversation until
you went crazy.� �I�m sorry girl, I am going to bed. You get back
there to your man, � Jessica said. �He isn�t my man Jess.� �But you
want him to be and you know it,� her sister said smiling at her. May
grinned, �Get to bed. I will be back in a little while.� She closed the
door and headed back to the party.
Meanwhile, back at the party, Megan mentioned to Vicki that she had
noticed Justin staring at her all night. Everytime she looked up her
eyes met Justin�s. �Go over and talk to him girl! He must have
something to say to you if he is staring!� Vicki insisted. �Well I
don�t wanna leave you by yourself Vic,� Megan said. �Honey, I
worked with all of these people for over a year, I will be fine. Just
go!� she said slightly pushing her. Meg gained her confidence,
walked up to Justin and started up a conversation. Vicki smiled with
approval and finished her drink. JC noticed she was by herself and
asked Ruben to excuse him. �How�s it goin� Vic?� JC asked. �I
could use a refill, besides that, I am great.� Vicki said handing him
her drink. JC laughed, �I�ll take care of that.� He walked over to the
table and made Vicki another Hawaiian Sunset. When he returned
she thanked him and took her drink. Vicki looked at her watch to see
that it was around 1:30am, �Isn�t it a little late for you to be up
sleepy head?� �Yeah, I know. The first show of the tour was so great that I thought
I would celebrate,� JC explained. �Yeah, the crowd was awesome!�
Vicki agreed. �I like Virginia Beach man, we gotta come back here
soon,� he said. Bobbie was talking with Chris�s girlfriend Danielle
when she noticed that JC was enjoying his conversation with Vicki.
�Oh God, Danielle, do you see her over there? She is never going to
accept the fact that JC doesn�t want her,� Bobbie said. �Maybe you
should go over there and put a stop to their little rendezvous.�
Danielle replied. �I think I am going to do just that,� Bobbie set
down her drink and walked over to JC. She grabbed his arm and said,
�Honey, it�s late. I�m ready to go.� �I�ll be there in a second,� he
said wanting to finish his conversation. With that, Bobbie pouted and
stormed out of the party. �Damn, she is always pulling shit like that!�
JC complained angrily. �What is her problem Josh?� Vicki
questioned. �I dunno dude, but I gotta go,� he said apologetically.
�It�s cool, see you tomorrow,� Vicki said as JC walked out of the
door. Chris and Danielle were leaving the party as well and they passed Vicki.
�Where�s Melissa?� Chris inquired. �Mel is back in the room. She�s too young
to party with us. You saw what happened to Jessica, right?� Vicki laughed.
�Yeah, good point. Tell her I said goodnight.� Chris and Danielle left cuddling.
Vicki knew that they probably wouldn�t sleep when they got back to
their room.
