Justin opened the door to his house and shivered as the cold air from the air conditioner hit his warm skin. "McKennah!!"
He was in the kitchen now and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge. "McKennah!"
"I'm out here you dork!," She finally answered.
He smiled, taking the bottle of water, and went out the back door. She was laying out in a lounge chair, trying to get somewhat of a tan. "Hey baby."
She looked up and smiled, "hi."
"How are you feeling?"
"Good.."
He kissed her gently and then sat down next to her, "Cool..."
"I got my test results today..in the mail.."
"Did you? What'd they say?"
"I'm in the clear."
He grinned, "That's good.."
"And after you left this morning, the doctor called and said that I can do anything I want to now...although, running out in front of moving vehicles is optional."
Justin laughed, "Well...that's good...so, you can come out on the road with us next time?"
"Yep...," She nodded.
"Cool.."
"So..what'd you do?"
"Went to the studio, we got absolutely nothing done...and then me and JC and Chris went to play basketball.."
She nodded, "Sounds exciting.."
"It was...what have you been doing all day, laying out?"
"You know it, I am so white I could date Casper!"
He laughed, "Now, why would you wanna date a ghost and not me?"
"Oooo ego much J?"
He moved and leaned against the chair she was lying in. She began to run her hand through his hair, "I don't want you to get this cut..."
"But it's annoying..," He said leaning his head back and closing his eyes.
She smiled, "But I like it..."
"Ok..I won't cut it, yet."
"Ok, sounds like a plan."
"So...you're really okay?"
She nodded, "Yeah.."
"I'm glad.."
They both got up and went into the house. She watched from the counter as he dug around looking for something to eat. She put her chin in her hands and sighed, "There's one thing that I can not remember, no matter how much I think about it..."
"What's that?"
"Well...I can't figure out...what we were fighting about....what were we fighting about?"
"McKennah..."
"Oh come on J! I know you know!"
"I just don't like to remember it."
"Justin..."
He sighed and took a seat across from her, "We were arguing because that morning I had come down to breakfast to see you, Terren, and Andre sitting together and I thought you and Terren were flirting...I got jealous..and I'm sorry."
"Oh.."
He sighed again, "I just keep thinking that if I wasn't such a jealous freak then maybe that accident wouldn't of happened and we wouldn't of lost so much time together.."
"Do you still blame yourself Justin?"
"A little..."
She stood up and forced him to look at her, "Justin, it is not your fault that that car hit me. Sure, we both were acting stupid. I was stupid for going out in the middle of the road like that and that car was stupid for not slowing down in a residential area...we all did stupid things that day and it can't be helped now...Don't blame yourself."
Justin's head leaned a little more into her hand and he kissed the inside of her hand, "I don't know what I'd do without you."
"You'd be very unorganized.," McKennah said with a smile.
He finally smiled, "Yep, very."
"Your clothes from the last tour would still be all over your floor, waiting for them to be done."
He laughed, standing up, and kissing her, "I love you."
"Love you too."
"So, I was thinkin' me and you should go on a vacation. Just you and me..by ourselves, no press, no bodyguards, no mothers, no bandmates..just us.," Justin said later that night at dinner.
"And just when would we do this vacation J? You go back on tour in a few months, I go back to school in the fall, there's awards shows and everything else..."
Justin just smiled as he dug into his salad, "I'll sort it out."
"Oh no, you can't just sit there and leave me hanging!"
He laughed, "Sweetheart, don't worry your sexy little self about any of it. I'll take care of it."
"Justin! Tell me what you're thinking!"
"Nope..be surprised."
She sighed, relenting, "Fine."
Justin just grinned, knowing it was getting to her...yet knowing she would love it in the end.
