Meanwhile cross-town Joey and Lance were waiting for the others to return. Lance was busy working on some paperwork for his company while Joey was on the phone talking to someone. Lance watched Joey out of the corner of his eye. Joey seemed to be enjoying his conversation, Lance assumed he was talking to Reneé by his body language. Lance missed having a girlfriend. Chris, JC, and Justin came running through the door. “Joey, man get off the phone. Things are about to get really interesting.” Justin said. Joey just waved him away. “Why’s that?” Lance asked. “Calista’s here, and we heard from one of the guys up front that Reneé had showed up to surprise Joey.” JC explained. “Then who’s Joey talking to.” Lance asked eyeing his friend. “Beats me.” JC said. Reneé walked in. Joey looked at her, he smiled and then hung up his cell phone. He walked over to her and gave her a hug and a kiss. “Hi, baby, what are you doing here?” Joey asked. “I came to see you.” Reneé said sweetly. Justin plopped down in one of the chairs. “What’s going on?” Reneé asked wandering why they were all just standing around. “We’re waiting.” Chris said. “For what?” She asked. Just then Calista came through the door. “That.” Chris said. Calista looked at Reneé and gave her a mean look. “Lance, we need to talk.” Calista stated putting her hands on her hips. Joey placed his hands on Reneé’s hip to hold her in place. He could tell by the look in her eye she already wanted to kill Calista. Lance leaned back calmly and looked up at her. “Well what is it?” He asked. “No, I mean we need to talk alone.” She said. “Hey, anything you need to say you can say in front of them.” Lance said nodded to his friend who had gathered in a small group in one corner of the room. “Fine,” she huffed not pleased with the Idea, “I just wanted to say that we’re not breaking up.” “We’re not?” Lance yelled shocked. “No, no one breaks up with me.” Calista said running her hand over his, which rested on the arm rest of the chair. Lance quickly pulled it away. “Don’t do that.” Lance snapped. “Do what?” She asked stepping closer to him. She leaded over him and placed a hand on his thigh. Joey felt Reneé tense up and move for them. Joey tightened his grip just enough to keep her still but not tight enough to hurt her.. “Let Lance handle this.” Joey whispered. She looked up at him and ran her hand down his muscular arm. “Don’t touch me.” Lance snapped pushing her away. Calista huffed angrily. “Oh, come on. I know you miss me.” Calista said. “Yeah, like I miss you cheating on me.” Lance snapped and jumped up. “Come on Lance that was one time, I realize my mistake now. Your the one I love.” Calista said grabbing him by the shirt. Lance brushed her off. “You mean that was the one time you got caught, how do I know there weren’t others?” Lance asked. “Just trust me.” Calista said. “I don’t want to trust you, I’m not sure I can, and I don’t want to date you any more.” Lance said. Calista insisted some more. Reneé was fuming. A huge smile crept across Joey’s face. Joey could tell that Lance was starting to get annoyed by Calista and Calista wasn’t gong to give it up. He also knew that when it came to fighting the only one who could stand a chance at winning with a girl was another girl. “What are you smiling about?” Reneé asked. “I have an idea.” Joey said, he flipped her around so she could see Calista. “Go get her tiger.” Joey said still smiling. Reneé smiled and walked up to Calista. “I don’t think he wants to talk to you any more.” Reneé said boldly. Calista turned to her half shocked. “This is all your fault, me and Lance would still be together if you hadn’t messed it up.” Calista snapped pushing Reneé back. “I messed you up? No, your the one who messed up.” Reneé yelled getting back in Calista’s face. Before long the two of the became a tangled mess, grabbing at each others hair and scratching each other. “See that’s why you never pick a fight with a girl.” Chris said. Finally Reneé got enough and slapped Calista as hard as she could. Calista fell back to shocked to react. Calista placed and hand on her cheek. “Fine, you know what, you can have him. He’s not worth it, I can do better anyway.” Calista snapped and stormed out. The room was quite for a minute while everyone thought about what just happened. “Well, that was eventful.” Lance said sitting back down. Reneé remained quite. “Hey, baby, let’s go we need to talk about something.” Joey said taking her arm. “Yeah, let’s go.” She said darting out the door before he could say another word. “That was a rip off, I wanted to see some real fighting.” Justin said. “Justin, you have a lot to learn my friend.” Chris said. ‘That reminds me you were going to help me win over Elena.” Justin said. “I will.” Chris stated. “I wonder what Joey and Reneé had to talk about?” Lance asked. Meanwhile in the concert storage room, “Hunny we need to talk.” Joey said shutting the door and turning to her. “Yeah, let me talk first.” Reneé said. “No, please there’s something I need to tell you first.” Joey said. “Joey, please, let me go first.” Reneé insisted. They both laughed. “I guess we’re not getting anywhere this way.” Joey said scratching his head. “Let’s go at the same time then.” Reneé said. “Okay.” Joey said not sure how she would react to his news. “There’s some one else.” They both said at the same time then looked at each other in disbelief. Joey was the first to laugh. “I was afraid you would be mad.” Joey explained. “I’m not mad, we can still be friends right?” Reneé asked. “Always.” Joey breathed pushing her hair out of her face. “So, who is it?” She asked. “Casey.” Joey said afraid to look at her. “My cousin, Casey?” Reneé asked. Joey nodded. “Wow, at least I know she’ll treat you right.” “What about you?” Joey asked. “I think you already know.” Reneé said. They both smiled and then left the tiny storage room smiling. “So we’re both okay with this?” Reneé asked before they entered the room where the others where. “Yeah, I know it will all work out.” Joey said. Reneé smiled and kissed him on the cheek. “So, how did the talk go?” JC asked as the walked in. “It went well.” Reneé explained. “Better than we both thought it was going to, I think.” Joey added. “So who were you talking to awhile ago?” Lance asked. “I was talking to Casey.” Joey said smiling. He looked at Reneé, who was still standing in the door way. She acting like she no longer knew what she was doing there. He could tell she wanted to approach her crush but she wasn’t sure how, and that surprised Joey, she had always seemed confident with him. Maybe because this was some one special. Joey smiled and went over to Lance. He leaned over Lance and whispered in his ear. “You see that girl over there in the doorway?” He asked. “Yeah.” Lance said uneasy by Joey's closeness. “She’s something very special and I want you to take good care of her.” Joey said. Lance looked him in the eye. Joey was being very serious and that wasn’t like Joey. Lance wasn’t sure what to do. Finally Joey winked at him then got up and left. Reneé couldn’t hear what Joey was telling him. Lance watched Joey leave then got up and walked over to Reneé. He smiled and she felt her heart melt. “So, do you want to go get a bite to eat or something before the show?” Lance asked. “I’d like that a lot.” Reneé said taking Lance’s arm. The two smiled and then left. Justin looked up from where he and Chris were sitting on the couch. “Did I miss something?” Chris asked. “NO, man, everything is cool for once.” Justin said. “Chris, there’s something I need to tell you.” Justin said. “What?” Chris asked. “Well when I talked to Elena in the club that night, and told her how I felt, she told me she liked me, but that you were the best thing to happen to her and she wasn’t about to hurt you.” Justin explained. “Then we won’t have a problem getting her to like you.” Chris said. “You’re not up set that she already liked me?” Justin asked. “No, man. I kind of figured that she did, just by the way she acted when you were around.” Chris said. ***Weeks later in a New York Club*** “Come one baby, let’s dance.” Reneé said dragging Lance out of his chair. “How did you put up with this?” Lance asked Joey who was sitting next to him. Joey smiled, “She’s yours now, you two love birds have fun.” Joey said then turned and kiss Casey softly on the lips. “It’s seems odd to see us all this way.” JC said. “What do you mean?” Reva asked. “You with me, Chris with Hannah, Reneé with Lance, Justin with Elena. Joey with Casey.” JC explained. Elena came up behind Justin and started to rub his shoulder gently. “That feels good baby girl.” Justin huffed. “You just looked stressed.” Elena explained. “Yeah, let’s try dancing and see if that helps.” Justin said grabbing her hand and pulling her behind him. “You guys coming?” He asked.
