After that first kiss, McKennah and Justin had become more...physical with one another. Both still denied that anything ever happened whenever someone asked. But in the privacy of their own home and when they were out by themselves, it was like they had been dating for years. Only...they weren't.
N'Sync was now back on tour in Europe for four months, McKennah was also enrolled back in school and was a full-time student. Justin called every night, even though it'd be like 4 a.m. in Orlando but like 9 p.m. whereever he was.
McKennah had just gotten home from Lynn's house from picking up Jon. Jon ran into the kitchen, "Can I have some cookies?"
"Yeah, go ahead. Do you have homework?"
"Social studies, can you help me?," He asked coming back from the kitchen with a cookie in his hand.
"Sure..go set it up in the kitchen, I'm going to run and go change, ok?"
"Ok!"
McKennah ran up the stairs and into her room. Jon would be staying with her in the afternoons and evenings as Lynn was going to be with the group she was managing, Innosense, alot of the time. She was glad to have some company, even if it was with a 6 year old.
She was helping Jon with his homework and fixing them some dinner when the phone rang. She picked it up and went back to the stove, "Hello?"
"Hey."
"Hi..how are you?"
"Tired."
"What time is it there?"
She heard him yawn and shuffle around his room, "Ummm...10."
"Ohhh..you sound tired."
"So do you."
"Not as tired as you."
"McKennah?? Where's Finland at again??," Jon asked from the kitchen table.
"Who's that??," Justin asked.
"It's right there.," She replied pointing to the map, "J, it's noone really."
"Uh huh..Kennah, who's there?"
She grinned, winking at Jon, "Just a handsome man, helpin' me make dinner."
"WHAT?! WHO IS IT?!"
She began to laugh, "Justin! Don't yell in my ear!"
"Who is it McKennah?"
"No one!"
"Kennah!"
Jon jumped from the chair, "Lemme talk to him! Lemme talk to him!!"
"Justin? Do you wanna talk to him? He has something to say to you."
She heard Justin's agravated sigh and he practically growled, "Yeah, I got something to say to him too."
She handed the phone to Jon, and with the straightest face she had ever seen on his little face he said, "Hi Justin, McKennah's my girlfriend, we're busy right now on our date so call back later.," And he hung up.
McKennah was laughing so hard she could barely stand, "Jon! He's gonna kill both you and me!"
Jon hugged her around the legs, "I know!"
Lynn came by later that evening and picked up Jon, they arranged for McKennah to pick him up after school let out the next day, and they left.
McKennah was now getting ready to go to sleep. The house was completely silent except for MTV playing some videos quietly in front of her bed. The phone rang, she jumped about 3 feet, and reached over the nightstand to answer it, "Hello?"
"You not asleep yet?"
"Hi to you too Justin."
"I figured you and your 'hot date' woulda been gettin' it on by now."
She laughed, "Justin!"
"I'm joking..that was good though..that was real good Kennah...you actually had me going there for a second."
"I did?"
"Yep...I can't believe you'd dump the older bro and go for the younger guy....you and the youngins'."
"Justin!"
He laughed, "Joking, joking."
"Why were you so jealous? It's not like we're going out or anything J."
"Maybe we should change that."
"What?"
"Maybe we should change that."
"What do you mean?"
"What are you doing right now?"
"I'm getting ready for bed."
She could practically see the evil grin that was sure to be spread across his face now, "Oooooo...mental image McKennah..sexy."
"Shut up."
"It was a good one!"
"Shut up Justin."
He heard her yawn and smiled, "You tired?"
"Yep. Your brother can sure wear a person out."
"I bet..."
"Soo..where are you all now?"
"On the bus heading to Italy."
"Oooooo...I bet it's pretty there."
"Don't know, we're not there yet."
"I'd love to visit there."
"One day, you and me, alone are going to come here then..sound good?"
"Sure."
"Lie down."
"Umm..k....why?"
"Just do it..."
She did so, pulling the covers up over her and leaning against the pillows, "Ok."
"Another mental image."
"Justin!"
"Sorry..sorry...anyways...you know, if I'm asked one more time what's going on with us I am going to rip my hair out."
"Awww...and get rid of the fro? JuJu...."
"Don't call me that!"
"Sorry...soo...what is going on with us?"
"I don't know...do you?"
She smiled, "Umm..not really...we did kiss and everything.."
"Yeah..and damn, it was sure one hell of a kiss."
She laughed, "I have to admit that you do kiss pretty good Timbs."
"Why thank you."
"No problem...."
"I know you wouldn't want to like date me or anything cause look at me! I'm gone like 9 months out of the year!"
"J...that's not true."
"You would want to date me?"
"Would that be a problem with the lovely and *ahem* 'talented' Ms. Spears?"
"Kennah..," He groaned.
"What?! Every magazine I pass by has you and her in some picture. JuJu and BritBrit clubbin', JuJu and BritBrit shopping, JuJu seen at one of her concerts, Britney seen at one of your all's concerts..."
"Kennah, me and her are nothing but friends. The minute someone found out she was my first kiss WHEN we were 12 that just started the rumors that something else was going on. She's going out with some guy from some group...*sigh* I don't even know why I'm defending her to you Kennah...you trust me, don't you?"
"You know I do."
"Then believe me, nothing is going on between me and Britney Spears. Geez McKennah, every minute of the day is spent wondering what you're doing, if you're okay, if you're missing me as much as I miss you."
"Justin, you know I miss you."
"Then come on tour with us."
"School J..school.."
"Couldn't you take a small vacation?"
She smiled,"As tempting as that is, no. Spring Break is coming up soon though, maybe I can come spend the week with you all...would that be good?"
"Yeah.."
"Ok..well..I'm gonna get off here...our phone bills are gonna be SO high."
He laughed, "I know."
"I'm tired J."
"I know...I'll call tomorrow night sometime. Night McKennah, sleep tight.."
"You too Justin, bye."
"Bye."
