Lilly waved to the jeep and closed the door. She decided to get something to eat before taking a nap. After getting a snack she went upstairs and into one of the bedrooms. She came to the conclusion that it was Justin's room because of the baby blue walls and the large amounts of baby blue and NC jerseys scattered throughout the room. Something Justin had mainly been wearing for the past two days. When she lied down on his bed, she immediately relaxed.
"Oh, Justin smells so good…." She said to herself. "Is Justin really how Chris says? Why am I even worrying about this? It's not like he would like me anyways. The date's probably just as friends." She saw the radio on the nightstand and reached over to turn it on.
"…..And here's *Nsync's latest single called 'This I Promise You'." The radio DJ said before the music filled the room.
She could immediately tell the first singer was Justin.
"Wow. He has an amazing voice. So do all the guys."
She lied in Justin's bed listening to the song before drifting of into a wonderful and peaceful sleep.
~*~ About Two Hours Later ~*~
"Guys, be quiet. Lilly might be asleep" Justin said unlocking the door.
They walked into the living room and didn't see Lilly anywhere. JC and Joey sat down; Chris grabbed the remote and sat down on the couch next to Joey. Lance went to the kitchen to get a bottle of water, and Justin snuck upstairs to find Lilly.
He noticed his bedroom door open slightly and heard the radio from inside the room. He went to the door and peeked inside to see Lilly sleeping peacefully. Justin smiled and went inside, closing the door quietly behind him. He sat on the edge of the bed and pushed some lose hair behind her ear and watched her sleep.
Soon, he was subconsciously playing with her hair, amazed by the softness of it, which woke her up.
"Oh, hey. Im sorry, did I wake you?"
"Hi. No, I probably need to get up anyway."
"How come your in here?" He asked.
"I dunno, your room just happened to be the one I stopped in."
"You mean out of all the other 10 rooms in this house, you chose mine?" He asked smiling and putting some hair behind her ear again.
"Yup, I guess so." She replied.
"So, may I?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah. Of course, it's your room." Justin smiled and made himself comfortable leaning against the backboard of the bed. Lilly blushed and put some space between her and Justin.
"Im sorry Lilly, am I making you uncomfortable? I can go and let you get some more sleep."
"No, it's OK. Your fine." She smiled up at him. He slowly extended his arm around her shoulders.
"So, are we still on for tonight?" Lilly's eyes lacked with Justin's.
"Yeah, of course we are."
"Where do you want to go?" He asked.
"I don't really know. It's up to you."
"Hmmmm, let's see. I have to take you somewhere fun." He pulled her closer and hugged her. She finally relaxed and laid her head on his chest. Soon, she fell asleep. Justin kissed the top of her head and he too, soon fell asleep. Holding Lilly in his arms.
Chris stood in the doorway with the door cracked open.
'I warned her not to get to close, I have to stop her before she gets hurt.' He thought to himself.
