“JC is she serious?” I asked.
They both held up their hands and showed us the rings.
“Oh my god you two I am so happy for you. I Knew you were perfect for each other.” I said giving them each a hug.
“Thanks, it’s all thanks to you.” Jc said.
“I know I’m just little miss matchmaker. So how is this going to work if you live in Toronto and he lives here.” I asked Erica.
“Well I’m going to move down here and transfer over in school. I mean I’m sure I will have the same plans after my mom hears about this and decides to kill me”
“Oh how Brutal.”
Just then the doorbell rang.
“Who is that at this hour?” Lindsay said as she went to get up.
“OH I forgot to tell you while we were out we bumped into an old friend and we asked her if she wanted to come hang over here later on cause I thought you’d like to meet her.” JC explained.
“Oh umm sure that’s cool.” I said looking at everyone else in the room who was equally as confused.
“Hey there everyone.” the girl said as she stood in the entrance to the living room.
“Um, geez Hi, it’s nice to meet you make yourself at home.” I said quite irritated. “JC I need some help in the kitchen getting some drinks, care to help?” I said clinching my teeth together and smiling.
“Yea sure.” he replied.
“Lance I may need some help from you too please.”
The two guys got up and followed me into the kitchen where I got out some glasses and started to pour some drinks.
“Ok JC why is she here?” I demanded.
“You don’t have a problem with Britney do you? I mean I saw her downtown and invited her over cause I thought you would enjoy meeting her.”
“Oh I’m glad to meet her and all but let’s just hope she gets out of here alive.”
“Why wouldn’t she?” Lance asked.
“Because don’t you remember me saying how much Tiffany hates her. I mean it’s not innocent hate either. Given the opportunity I know she would kick her ass badly.”
“You’re serious?” JC asked. “Well we better get in there and keep them apart before something brews.”
We grabbed the drink and went back into the living room and served the drinks and sat down and just started to talk. Tiffany just sat back and stared at her with the ugliest look in her eyes you could ever dream of.
“So what brings you back to Orlando?” I asked.
“Oh we’re here for a show tomorrow night but we’re in town today thru the weekend.”
“I bet you’ve probably got a sold out show don’t you.” Tiffany said sarcastically.
“Actually it’s not completely sold out they have a few tickets left but by tomorrow it will be sold out.”
“Wow that’s amazing so many people want to come see you. If I knew you were going to be here I would’ve gotten tickets but I’ve been too busy to even check tour dates.” Tiffany was enjoying being such a smart ass and knowing that Britney was buying everything.
“Well I have some tickets in my purse you can have. I’d love to have you there.”
“Oh wow that’s an offer I really can’t refuse but I have to I already have plans for tomorrow. That’s so sweet of you to offer though.” She threw on a fake smile to make the package complete.
“Well maybe another time. How about you Justin?” This got Tiffany a little edgy.
“He’s all booked with me, I’m having some emotional times with this baby and my life right now and Justin really needs to be here for me.”
“Oh that’s right I totally forgot about that. Well that’s cool maybe sometime we’re all in town together we can hang out and I’ll bring my little boy toy too.”
“Sounds oh too great.” she once again threw on a fake smile. “Well I hate to ditch the party but I’m really tired I’m off to bed. Justin wanna come up for a few?”
“I’ll be up in a few minutes Tiff.” He replied.
“Ok, it’s been a real honor meeting you Britney.” she said as she left the room.
“You too” Britney yelled.
“Man next time I just gotta kill that bitch.” Tiffany said to herself as she climbed the stairs to her room.
About half an hour later it was about 11:00. Britney had left and Justin had checked on Tiffany and said good night. Erica and JC had taken off too being that they were technically now on their honeymoon.
Justin, Chris, Joey, Alana, Kristin, Lance and myself were still wide awake downstairs. We had nothing in particular we wanted to do so we just sat and talked about a bunch of little things. Somehow the conversation had guided back to the earlier conversation at the restaurant about the tape that me, Erica, Tiff, Alana, and Kristin had made of “I want you back” a few months ago. Us 3 girls were insisting that we not watch it because it was the most embarrassing thing on earth. The guys all insured us it couldn’t be more embarrassing than what we had already done that night. So being the suckers we were I got up and went to my room and got the tape and put it in. I could feel myself ready to explode with laughter but I just hid my face in Lance’s chest and peeked now and then. Poor Tiff was sound asleep while we cracked jokes about her performance. If she would've known she would've killed us for sure.
Not much happened over the next 3 and a half weeks. Tiffany escaped her parents and moved into a large condo with Justin and was going to be finishing school up with me in Orlando. But I was going to be involved in independent study at home. Erica and JC were having a great marriage so far, so they said, we hadn’t seen them in awhile they were still enjoying being with each other 24/7. Alana and Kristin had gone back home a few days after they came but we’d be seeing them at the wedding back in Maryland in a few short weeks. In the meantime Lance and I were finalizing the plans with our family and we started moving some of our stuff into our new house, about 20 minutes from where we currently were, which we would be officially living in after our wedding.
