Chapter 5

"Oh my God, this is sooo much fun!" Becca squealed, bouncing around in the big inflatable bouncy tent.

"Yea, it is!" Joey said coming up behind her and picking her up.

"Oh my God, Joey! Please put me down!" Becca laughed.

"Okay" Joey agreed, putting her back on the floor and spinning her around so that he could look in her eyes.

"Joey, can we please get outta this thing for a little while, I'm beginning to get a little too dizzy," Becca asked just as Joey was about to kiss her.

"Sure," Joey said taking her hand and gently leading her out of the tent. "So what do you wanna do now?"

"Let's go see what the others are up to," Becca suggested.

"Okay," Joey agreed.

~~~Meanwhile……

"Hey, imma go hang with JC for a little while," Brit said.

"Okay, have fun!" Justin said as Brit left them.

"Justin, I'm so happy to be here with you. I've missed you sooo much," Liss said.

"Look, I'm sorry about that, it was my fault. I should've kept touch, but I was just so afraid that you'd hate me, or that I'd been replaced that I couldn't even bare to call you. I've missed you soo much Liss, I would give anything to go back and change things so that we would've kept touch. I just wish I hadn't been so scared. I'm just so sorry. You and I were closer than either of us were with Britney, and yea, I've missed her too. But it's different with you. I feel like when I left that day and never kept touch I lost a big part of me. I was so confused. All I did know was that I would've gave anything to keep you from crying, to keep you from hurting. It killed me to see you like that," Justin replied.

"Justy, don't! Let's not bring up those bad memories. Let's just be thankful that we're here with each other now and let's have fun and make sure there are no more regrets," Liss said.

"Do you mean that? The 'no regrets' thing?" Justin asked.

"Of course I do!" Liss responded.

"Then I have to do what my heart is telling me to do," Justin replied pulling Liss to him and gently kissing her on the lips.

"Justin, can we please go upstairs to your room... I need to lie down," Liss said interrupting his kiss.

"Um, sure..." Justin said as they went up to his room. "Here" he said opening his door and letting her inside.

"Thanks," she said sitting down on the bed.

"No problem," Justin said. "Now back to that whole 'no regrets' thing.." he started, breaking off his sentence by kissing her again.

"Justin, no don't!" Liss said, backing away from him.

"Why not?" Justin asked. "Are you saying that you didn't like it? That you don't want to do it again? Look at me and truthfully tell me that you didn't enjoy that and that you don't want it to happen again."

"I... I... I can't," she said. "I did enjoy it, I do want it to happen again."

"Then why can't we? Remember you said no regrets?" he asked.

"I'm sorry Justin. I'm just kinda freaked. I mean, don't get me wrong, that was amazing. I'm just scared it'll ruin our friendship."

"I'm sorry too. But don't worry it won't ruin our friendship. I would never let that happen."

"You mean it?" she asked.

"I swear it," he replied, leaning in to kiss her again. This time she didn't stop him. Slowly they began to remove their clothes and pretty soon they were all that was left between them was air and skin.

"Justin... I don't know about this," she said, beginning to back up a little.

"You said 'no regrets'. If you know you'll regret it, then we don't have to. That doesn't matter to me. I'm perfectly happy just being here with you. I love you, and I'm not gonna pressure you in to anything."

"I love you soo much Justin, and I know I'll regret it if we don't do this."

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Positive," she said ,kissing him. "I was just kinda nervous, but I know I want this."
