~Chapter Two~
She rented a car and drove to the motel closest to the city. She set out her stuff. "What to do, What to do?" she thought to herself. She opened her suitcase and pulled out her favorite low rider jeans and a low cut half-top with fringe. "It’s getting dark, I’ll check out the night scene." Maggie drove into town and found the coolest looking club. She parked and walked to the door.
"Hey, you’re cute, go in" a bouncer pointed to her. She walked into the club and looked around. It was a hot spot and the dance floor was very crowded. She walked to the bar and ordered a Coke.
"Just a Coke?" a voice from behind her asked.
"Yeah, why?" she replied.
"Hey Jake, put a shot in that coke." The guy behind her yelled to the bartender. "Let me show you what clubbing is about, follow me"
She didn’t know why but she decided to follow him. She grabbed her drink and followed. he lead her back to a room with a few guys in it.
"What’s your name?" he whispered in her ear.
"Maggie" she replied.
"Hey guys, this is Maggie, I’m showing her what clubbing is."
Maggie looked at the guys in the room. There was one with clearly fake blond hair talking to a girl, another one had a buzz cut and was sitting on a couch talking to another blond. The guy she came in with had dark brown hair, and piercing blue eyes and talked to one who had funky red hair and was sitting at a table. Somehow these guys seemed familiar. There was something about them.
"Chris, this is Maggie" the one she came in with introduced her to the guy at the table.
"and who are you?" she turned around and asked the guy who was leading her around the room.
"Oh, yeah, I’m sorry, I’m JC"
"You know you look familiar."
"Do I?" he asked. "Well, ok. That’s Joey over there flirting, and the two on the couch are Justin and Lance"
"Ok, why am I here, I feel out of place" she asked.
"You looked like you needed someone to hang out with. You wanna dance?"
"Ok" They walked together out to the floor, first a fast song then like magic they played this beautiful slow ballad. Maggie wrapped her arms around his neck and he placed his hands on her lower back. She breathed in his scent, there was something refreshing about it. Maggie listened to the song, it was one of those boy bands, she couldn’t tell them apart.
"Do you know who’s song this is JC?" she whispered.
"It’s called "This I Promise You" Haven’t you heard it?" he asked
"No, sorry I am not a teenybopper" she laughed.
They danced and she remembered one time when Trisha made her watch some concert from New York, some N group. "’Nsync" she thought, "that’s who this is."
"Is this song by ‘n sync?" she asked him
"Yeah, that’s them"
She tried to remember the concert she had fought so hard against seeing. JC looked like one of them, actually, now that she thought about it, all the guys she met looked like them. The song ended and JC led her to a table.
"I figured out who you look like" she commented.
"And who might that be?"
"This is gonna sound really stupid, but you look like one of those ‘N sync boys." She laughed.
"Well…" JC tried to avoid the subject, "what are you doing in Orlando?"
"Trying to find a job, I live in a motel right now."
"I know this is going to sound really bad, and I don’t want you to take it the wrong way, but, do you want to stay with me? I have an extra bed room"
"Really, well, My mom would hate it so… I would love to" she replied "what do you do?"
"Oh, I’m in entertainment"
"that’s weird, all your friends look like boy band members too"
"Ok, I am just going to have to tell you.."
"-JC?" she inturupted.
"We are ‘n sync"
"Well, that explains a lot. Don’t worry I’m not going to start screaming or anything, I’ll give you a whopdi-do." she laughed.
"Glad I finally met someone who doesn’t care. You wanna go?"
"Yeah, I’m tired, don’t you have to tell your friends?"
"Don’t worry about them" he laughed.
They walked out together, the air was crisp, Maggie shivered. JC handed her his coat. They went to Maggie’s rental car.
"I’ll lead, you can check out of the motel in the morning ,ok?"
"Sure, thank you so much"
"No problem." He smiled.
He drove her to a big house with a pool. She looked at it with amazement. "wow, pays to be a pop star" she thought to herself. He led her to the door.
"You wanna watch a movie?"
"Sure" she replied. They sat together on his leather couch. "You know I don’t have anything to sleep in."
"I could lend you something" he replied. "hold on, I’ll be right back." JC ran off to his room he came back a few minutes later caring a t-shirt and a pair of boxers.
"They’re clean" he laughed. Maggie went to the bathroom and changed.
"What do you have to do tomorrow?" she asked.
"For once nothing!" he exclaimed.
They talked for a few hours and became instant friends, they both went their separate ways to bed and agreed not to wake each other in the morning.
