Meanwhile downstairs the movie was over.
“Jen, where can me, Joey, and JC crash at?” Justin said. He waited for me to respond then he looked over and realized we were gone.
“Man when did they sneak off? I swear those two never get enough of each other do they?” he said looking at the rest of us. “I’m gonna go up there and ask her where we can crash.”
“Justin, don’t do that, god only knows what they’re doing, don’t disturb them. I don’t think Chris is going anywhere at all.”
“Ok well what about the rest of us.”
“Well JC if you want my bed is a king size so we can share the bed if you’re ok with that.” Erica commented.
“As long as you don’t bite! haha just joking, thanks.” JC said with a grin.
“And Justin you can share my bed with me if ya want.” Tiff said shyly.
“Thanks a lot Tiffany.” he said with a slight smile, hoping not to be too obvious that he was hoping she would say that.
“And Joey why don’t you crash in Jen’s parent’s room.” Erica suggested.
“Ok cool” he replied
After the arrangements had been made the guys went and changed into their boxer’s and T-shirts to get ready for bed while the girls got their PJ’s on too. JC met Erica in her room and Justin met Tiff in her’s.
“Can you help me pull the sheets down JC?” Erica asked.
“Oh yeah of course, it’s the least I can do.”
They pulled down the covers and got into the bed. Erica reached over and turned the light off on her side.
“Night Erica, and thanks again.” JC said giving her a kiss on the cheek.
“No problem, anytime.” Erica sat there amazed. She had just been kissed by JC. She use to fantasize about that happening and she’d kiss her posters but she never in her wildest dreams thought it would really happen. She laid there with a smile on her face and peacefully fell asleep.
In Tiffany’s room her and Justin were already in the bed with the lights out. Justin had her head laying in his muscular arms. Justin really liked her he had only met her 5 hours earlier but he knew he wanted to get to know her better. Tiffany felt the same way except she had always known she loved Justin but 10 hours ago when she arrived at my house she didn’t know she’d be laying in his arms. Justin leaned over and kissed her on the cheek not wanting to wake her up, but she wasn’t asleep so she turned towards him and kissed him on his lips. He realized she was making the initiative to kiss him so it was ok to go farther than that kiss on the cheek with that he guided his tongue into her mouth letting it dance around. Minutes past and the two were still at it. Then they slowly drifted to sleep.
Over in my room I couldn’t get to sleep. I just laid there looking out into the black sky. I then flipped to my other side facing Lance. He looked so adorable when he was asleep, that was just the image to make me feel relaxed and fall asleep. Not long after I had fallen asleep did I feel his leg wrap around mine, I wasn’t bothered by it in fact it made me warm. Then I felt his hand massaging my back, and I started to drift to sleep. His hands then made their way up my shirt, I felt uncomfortable but I figured he would take them out in a matter of moments but they didn’t instead, they were exploring my body.
“Lance, no I’m not ready for this yet, k?” I said in a caring tone.
“Oh Jen I’m sorry I didn’t even realize what I was doing, I’d never pressure you into anything you know that! Don’t worry now go back to sleep.” he said assuring me.
I rolled over and looked at the clock it was only 6:30 and I hadn’t had much sleep so I curled up in Lance’s arms and gazed at his innocent face. He was mumbling something but I couldn’t make it out so I moved closer and listened.
“Jen, I love you more than life itself and that’s why I want to spend the rest of my life with you... Jen will you marry me.”
I laid there with a huge grin on my face. He was dreaming about proposing to me, that was so sweet and I hoped he would be the man I spend the rest of my life with. He would make the perfect h
Two hours later after a hearty lunch we came home. We had no plans for this afternoon so we were just going to hang around the house.
“Jen come upstairs with me for a second please.” Tiffany asked
I followed her up the stairs as she went into my room. “What’s up Tiff?”
“Well I’ve gotta tell you something, guess what?”
“I’m not good with guessing games what is it?”
“Last night Justin and I did it!”
“U what! God you waste no time do you, you know him what? 6 hours? and you go off and sleep with him? I can’t believe you! you really are a whore.”
“I’m a what? God Jen chill, it just happened ok! If you and Lance hadn’t of left last night then you could’ve told Justin where to sleep but you weren’t there so he slept in my bed and things happened, there’s nothing I can do about it Jen deal with it.”
“Tiff god calm down I was joking! Take a chill pill!”
“Oh sorry guess I was just overreacting a little!”
“Well let’s go back downstairs before Lance has a cow and comes looking for me!” I said laughing.
We headed downstairs where they were all watching TV and I sat next to Lance on the loveseat, I laid my head down on his lap and just stared up at him.
“Lance” I whispered.
“What sweetie?”
“You know what would really nice?”
“What’s that?”
“To just get rid of those 6 for an evening so I could have you all to myself, even though I know how selfish that sounds.” I said innocently.
“If you want to be alone Jen we can go upstairs and hang out if you want.”
“No Lance that’s not it, nevermind just forget it, ok?” I said as I stormed out and headed to my room where I turned on the radio and laid down. I didn’t wanna “hang out” and he knew better. I expected Lance to be up to find out what was wrong but 3 hours past and there was no sign of him, I lost all hope and just laid there and cried. And if things couldn’t get any worse “God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You” came on. Whenever I was down he use to sing to me and it helped me more than anything. I sat there tears pouring down my face, then the DJ came on the radio.
“That was *N Sync going out to Jen wherever you are, your boyfriend says he’s sorry and he also says to look under the door. Jen give this guy a chance he called up almost in tears. Well the music continues on WCR right after these messages.”
I got up and walked over to the door and picked the envelope off the floor and opened it up. Inside was a card that read. “Jen, meet me downstairs at 6:30, and again I’m sorry.”
I walked into the bathroom to put some more make-up on and then proceeded down the stairs promptly at 6:30, I rounded the corner to the living room when I was greeted by the glow of candles all over the room. Lance stepped out of the kitchen and walked over to me and we locked arms as he guided me into the kitchen where he had the table set for 2 with a dozen white roses for the centerpiece, accompanied by 2 white candles on each side. We walked to the table and he pulled my out chair. Then he sat down across from me and we talked about numerous thing as we ate the magnificent meal he prepared.
“Jen, I hope you know I didn’t mean to hurt you, I wanted to be alone too, but see I already had this planned and I didn’t want you to find out.” he said with a great deal of sincerity.
“Lance, this is so special, but where did everyone go?”
“I sent them to dinner and a double feature at the movies. So I don’t expect them back till at least 2 if not later.”
“Wow, so we really are alone.”
“That’s right, just you and me. So we’ve got about 7 or 8 hours alone what are we gonna do with that time?”
“Anything you want baby, anything at all, your choice.”
“Oh anything huh?”
"Yes, anything, Lance, I’ve got a few ideas of my own." I replied as I looked into Lance's eyes. I got up and went over to Lance and took his hand in mine. I pulled him up and he followed me. I led him to my room and shut the door.
"Lance, I love you." I kissed him softly on his neck as I put my hands under his shirt and rubbed his muscular chest. I pulled at the top of his jeans and he grabbed my hands.
"Jen, are you sure you are ready for this?"
"I am positive. I have never felt this way about anyone before. I told you last night I wouldn’t do this unless I was ready for it and Lance I am, I want you so bad" I said as I continued to pull at his pants.
I heard the front door shut and I sat up. I looked around, thinking the actions that had taken place were all a dream. I saw Lance's naked body wrapped in the sheets next to me and I knew it was real. I smiled to myself and laid my head on his chest. I had never been so sure about something like I was about the way I felt about Lance. Even though I was only 16 I had been in numerous relationships, none of them with anyone I truly cared about. Until I met Lance I was ready to give up on dating. But Lance was different from every guy I had met. Lance cared about me and wanted to be with me, he’s more than just my boyfriend he like one of my best-friends, my soul mate. When he was away he’d call me everyday and tell me how much he missed me. Thinking about how special Lance was in my life I realized just how lucky I was.
“Hey Baby” Lance said as he kissed me on the lips.
“Hi” I said smiling at him still half asleep.
“Sleep good?.”
“Yeah, tired still though. What time is it?”
“It’s 9:15, why?”
“Nothing, I just don’t wanna stay in bed all day, but I bet everyone else won’t be up for awhile cause it was about 2:45 when they got home. Well I’m gonna get up and draw myself a nice hot bath and relax for awhile.”
“Would you like some company and maybe a nice massage to go with that bath?”
“Oh that sounds so good, let me go run the water, meet me in there in lets say... 5 minutes?”
“I’ll be there.” he said blowing me a kiss.
I closed the door behind me and walked to the large tub and let it fill with hot water as I added in some bubble bath. Within a few short minutes the bath was full. I lit the candles that surrounded the bathtub and turned out the light, it was much easier to relax with the glow of a candle. I stepped into the steamy bath and closed my eyes and rested my head on the edge of the tub.
Minutes later I felt Lance’s hands on my neck pushing me forward so he could sit behind me. He situated himself in the bath and gently pulled my head against his chest as he began to massage my shoulders.
After a good half an hour in the tub I finally decided to budge and get out.
“You can stay in for awhile longer, but I’ve gotta get dressed you know how long it takes me! You want to do something today?” I asked.
“I don’t care, we really should do something though cause we haven’t really left your house since we’ve been here.”
“You’re right, how bout we go to the mall or something when the rest of the guys get up. There is never many people out there on Sunday’s anyways. Plus I’ve got to look for a dress.”
“Ok sounds cool.”
I walked into my closet and tried to pick out an outfit. After several minutes of sorting through my wardrobe I finally found an outfit consisting of a pair of flares and a white spaghetti strap shirt with a gray cardigan sweater. After I finished dressing Lance walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He walked behind me as I was making the bed and wrapped his arms around me as he kissed my neck. I turned around and kissed him passionately as I felt his tongue enter my mouth. As we locked lips I began to rub my hands against his bare chest feeling the water that remained on his body. After a brief kiss he pulled away.
“Jen, I can’t let you do this to me right now.” he said
“What are you talking about? What am I doing to you?” I said with a confused tone.
“You gotta stop making me want you so bad all the time.”
I laughed, “Sorry I didn’t mean to but you’re doing the same to me.”
“So...What do you need a dress for?”
“what?” I said
“You said you needed to get a dress.”
“Oh that, well we’ve got some dance in like 2 weeks, a little end of the school year party, and I was stupid enough to sign up as head of the committee so I have to book a DJ, worry about food and decorations, and of course I’ve got to go. But it won’t be too bad cause Tiff and Erica will still be here so I get to drag them along.”
“Oh I see you don’t want to be with your boyfriend?” He said as if he was mad.
“I’d love to be with you babe but you’re leaving next week.”
“I guess I didn’t tell you did I? The guys and I got an extention on our vacation, So we’re gonna be around for about a month.”
“Oh my god Lance, this is so great.”
“Yeah, so Jen would you care to be my date?
“Would I? You better believe it! Now everyone will finally believe me that I do have a boyfriend. I’m so happy now. Hey get the guys to come too, don’t wanna ditch them.”
“Yeah, that’s the last thing we’d wanna do. I’ve got an idea I’ll help you book a DJ and then how about the we perform a song or two?”
“You are the best, no wonder I love you so much.” I said with a smile.
He quickly got dressed and we went downstairs expecting to be alone, but to our surprise everyone was up.
“Hey guys.” greeted Joey.
“Hey, we didn’t expect you guys up yet since you were out so late.” Lance said.
“Well we are so deal with it.”
“So what did you guys do last night.” I asked as Lance and I took a seat.
“We grabbed some burgers then went to the movies and saw 2 great movies. One was like some ‘scary’ movie that was like you know typical, people getting killed and then one was really funny, it had that guy, what’s his name....oh yeah Adam Sandler.” Erica said rapidly.
“Jen if you want to know about the movies don’t ask her or JC the only thing they could tell you is how long they made out.” Chris said as he began to laugh.
I looked over at Erica and smiled and she began to blush.
“So what did you two do last night?” Chris asked as everyone looked over at us.
“Umm.. we had dinner and then just sat and umm talked and went to bed.” Lance said as he looked over at me.
“Yeah sure, right, that’s all.”
“Listen Chris I don’t think you or anyone else in this room needs to know about our sex life.” I yelled. Everyone just looked at me and Lance wrapped his arm around me. I finally realized what I had said. “Oh my god I can’t believe I just said that.”
“Sorry.”
“No, Chris I’m sorry! I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”
“It’s ok. So what’s on the agenda for today?”
“Well I thought we need to get out of the house. Plus I need to look for a dress. So let’s hit the mall.”
“Ok let’s do it. Wait a dress for what?” Joey asked
“Duh, my wedding dress Joey, what else? Now let’s get in the van.” I said heading out the door.
