~*Chapter 9*~
The limo pulled up at the door of Saks fifth avenue. JC got out of the limo and
Justin and Jess followed. Benish got out last and she walked quietly into the
store as JC held the door. Jess headed straight for the swim wear section. Justin
followed her and turned and smirked at JC. JC rolled his eyes. He stopped and
turned around to see where Benish was. He scanned the store and saw her at the
evening gown section looking some dresses. He JC walked towards her and
snuck up behind her. "That's a really nice dress. It would look great on you." He
whispered in her ear. Benish jumped and turned around to find JC smiling. "You
scared me! Don't do that you almost gave me a heart attack!" she said as she put
her hand on her chest to regain her breath. JC and Benish's eyes met. He started
moving closer and she started to as well but then Jenny came back to her mind.
She quickly stepped back and asked where Jess and Justin went. "Probably in a
dressing room making out what's the matter? Don't you want me to ki..." JC
started to say. Benish cut him off and started walking towards the swim wear
section where she spotted Justin's curly blonde hair. She sped up when JC tried
to catch up with her. "Hey Benish hey wait up! Damn it! Wait!" JC yelled after her.
She finally met up with Justin and gave him a "save me" look. "Hey guys what
up?" he said "Ummm where's Jess?" Benish asked. "She's trying on some
bathing suits oh yea " he said as he rubbed her hands together and had a smirk
on his face. JC rolled his eyes. He reached for Benish's arm. "Hey can I talk to
you please?" he said "How does this look?" Jess said as she came out from the
dressing room. Benish quickly got out of JC's grasp and went towards Jess
thanking her silently for coming out when she did. Benish wasn't in the mood to
confront JC about her feelings about Jenny. She was still confused about it. Jess
came out in a baby blue string bikini. It had silver strings that tied in the back and
at her hips. She spun around twice and posed in it. "What a ham." Benish said
"Shut it! Do you like it?" she said as she spun again. "I sure do!" said Justin
eagerly. Everyone turned and looked him. "I mean its ok " he said quietly. Jess
started to blush. "So do you like it B?" she said. "Yea yea its great , get it."
Benish stammered. "Ok I will!" Jess said as she ran back to the dressing room to
change. Jess got out and headed for the cash register. Justin grabbed the bikini
and took out his credit card and put them both on the counter. "What are you
doing?" Jess said as she took his card and gave it back. "Ummm I'm buying it"
Justin said. "Ummm I don't think so!" she said as she put her card on the
counter. "Dammit woman let me pay for it!" Justin said as he put his card down.
"Ugh! Justin!" she said "What?" he said as he smiled sweetly. "You're so UGH!!"
she said "Whatever you say sweetheart" he said as he leaned in and gave her a
little kiss on the cheek. "Are we ready?" said the sales clerk with an annoyed look
on her face. "Oh yea definitely ready." Justin said as he looked into Jess's face.
"Oh god cut the crap and let's go already!" Benish said as she grabbed Jess.
"Damn what the hell is up wit you?" Jess said annoyed that Benish interuptted
her and Justin. "Please let's go." She said with a stern look. Jess took the hint.
"We'll be in the limo guys." Jess said. "Ok we'll be out in a sec." Said Justin. The
girls got into the limo and Jess sat next to Benish. "What's the matter?" Jess
asked. "I dunno I something doesn't feel right." Benish said "What? With JC?
What happened? Does this have to do with Jenny?" Jess asked. "Yea I guess so.
I just have a bad feeling." She said quietly. "Oh cmon! Just relax. Nothing is
wrong. Just relax. You're upsetting JC." She said "Am I really?" Benish said. "A
DURCH! Cmon you've been avoiding him the whole day. He's upset." Jess said as
she looked out the window. "Look they're coming. I'll stay next to you for now but
when we go for lunch you are sitting with him and you are not gonna avoid him
ok? Look you're breaking his lil heart!" Jess said with a fake sad face. "Ok Ok I
get the point." Benish said as the girls started to laugh hysterically. The door
opened and the guys got in. "What's so funny?" Justin said "Umm nuthin " Jess
said with a smile. JC sat in the corner and said nothing as he looked out the
window. Jess looked at him and smacked Benish on the arm. "See? Look at his
face! He's sad! You made JC sad!" Jess whispered. "Shhh calm your ass! I told
you I'll take care of it." Benish whispered. "So what are we gonna eat?" Justin
said."Ummm I'm just gonna have a salad." Jess said. "Are you kidding me?"
Justin said "How do you only eat salad! Damn eat real food girl!" he said. "How
about we all go to the new rain forest caf? they opened up in Times Square?"
Benish suggested. "OoOo they opened one here too?" Jess said. "Sounds good
to me+what is it?" Justin asked "It's a restraunt that looks like a rain forest+don't
worry you'll like it!" Benish said. "Is that ok wit you JC?" Jess said "Yea fine" he
said quietly. Jess looked at Justin and he shrugged. Benish gave the driver
directions to the restraunt. They went into the cool restraunt and got a table in a
dark corner. "Damn this place is off da hook!" Justin said "Ugh" Jess said
"What?" he said "Nothing forget it" she said. Justin and Jess squeezed into one
side of the booth and Benish and JC sat on the other side. JC was surprised that
she sat next to him. JC decided he was just gonna stay quiet. He really didn't
have much to say. He wondered what caused her to avoid him the way she did.
The waiter came and took their orders. "Hey look! They have parrots!!!" Justin
said with delight. "Oh lordie." Jess groaned. "Cmon you're coming with me." He
said as he took her hand and led her to the birds. "I'm soo tired" Benish said as
she put her head on the table. JC took a chance and he put his arm around her
waist and pulled her to him. She sat up and leaned against him, burying her face
in his neck. "I have a huge headache." She said as she put her arm around JC's
waist. JC didn't say a word,. He wondered what brought on the change. It didn't
matter to him as long as she wasn't mad at him. Suddenly it hit JC. She was
upset about Jenny. He tightened his grip around her to silently reassure her
about his feelings for her and that he was over Jenny. He knew she got the
message because she relaxed against him and didn't seem tense anymore. JC
turned his head and saw Justin with Jess looking at the parrots. They were
laughing and Justin was attempting to talk to the birds. He turned back and
looked at Benish. "I can't believe you tried to talk to a bird!!" Jess said as she sat
down "What?!?! I thought he'd talk back. You'd expect a place like this to have
smart birds not stupid ones!" He said. Justin looked and noticed that Benish
wasn't mad at JC anymore. He smiled at him and looked for the waiter. "Dammit I
want my food" he said "Calm down. Its coming. Sheesh patience Justin
patience!" she said. With that Benish woke up. "So how were the parrots Justin?"
she asked "Fine how was JC's neck Benish?" asked Justin with a chuckle. Jess
pinched his leg. "Owww!" Justin said as he jumped and started to rub his leg.
"Shut your mouth Justin." Jess said. "Damn woman " he said "Stop calling me
woman. I have a name you know!" Jess said annoyed. "I have to go to the
bathroom." Jess sais as she got up. "Damn bathroom again. Is she like
PMS-ing?" Justin said "I dunno" said Benish . Jess came back and sat down.
"OoOo our food's here finally" she said as she spotted the waiter heading their
way. "It's about time!" Justin said. They started to eat. "So what are you guys
doing this summer?" Justin said. "I have no idea." Benish said. "Yea nothing
why?" Jess asked. "Oh just curious by the way how would you guys like to come
on tour with us .for the whole summer?" Justin said casually. JC looked up
suddenly and Jess choked on her chicken. "Oh my god!! Are you serious?"
Benish said. "Yea " Justin said "Oh my god! Yes!!" She said. JC was still in
shock. He didn't know that Justin was gonna do that. Justin saw the look of
surprise on JC's face. Justin hadn't planned it. The thought just came to him. He
couldn't think of going on tour without the girls. He felt so close to them
especially Jess. He couldn't imagine being without them. Jess finally stopped
coughing and gave Justin a hug. "Oh my god!! Justin! This is so awesome!" she
said Justin simply smiled to himself and continued to eat. "Hey I saw this really
hot jacket with rainbow rinestones on it I want to get it should I?" he said "No!"
Benish, JC and Jess said at the same time. They finished their food and got back
into the limo and the guys dropped the girls home and told them they'd pick them
up at eight to board the bus.
