That night Tania went home to her apartment, exhausted from work. She walked in and dropped her things by the door, not really caring about the mess she was making.  She went and ran some water so she could soak her entire body in a tub full of warm bubbly water. She went back into her room and took out her pajamas. A white spaghetti strapped T-shirt and a pair of flannel bottoms. Tania took the remote that was sitting on her night stand and pointed at her entertainment center. The smooth sounds of 'Nsync started playing through her speakers and she just closed her eyes and hummed along with a song off their new album "I'll be good for you."

She laid there quietly, listening to the music and the sound of running water in the distance and accidentally dosed off  until she remembered that she had water running in the tub. She quickly got up and turned the water off. She put the album on repeat and proceeded to get into the tub to let her tired muscles soak. Once she was out of the tub and dressed for bed, she decided to just lay there and meditate about what had happened earlier on the phone with Justin. It seemed like he must have been psychic, because she could hear her phone ringing. She sat up and turned the stereo off to make sure she wasn't just hearing things. When she heard her cell phone ring again she ran to her dresser to grab the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey girl, what you up to?"

"Nothing much.  I just laying here meditating."

"Meditating huh?" he asked, settling his body into the mattress and letting his open palm rest against his abdomen.

"Yeah, I've had a pretty stressful day, Justin" Tania laughed, remembering back to earlier. 

Justin returned her laugh with a little chuckle."Yeah I guess you have..."

"So sweetness, have you called me back to finish up this experiment of yours?" Tania asked as she plopped back down on her bed.

"No...I'm going to finish the experiment with you don't get me wrong.  It's just going to last longer than I expected."

"Longer?" she said with a deep concern.

"Yeah.  I wanted to let you know that my findings were inconclusive."

"Inconclusive huh?" Tania rolled her eyes.

What? You don't believe me now?" Justin asked with a smirk.

"To be honest with you? No." she said.

"Ahh, Girl, why don't you believe me?" Justin tried to act hurt.

"Well lets see....I know for a fact that you didn't think I just did okay on the first part, Justin.  I could tell by the sound of your voice that you were enjoying yourself as much as me."

Justin got quiet and smiled to himself thinking about what had just happened hours earlier.  "You're right.  But honestly...I need more research."

Tania knew he wanted to keep up the game because he was intrigued by her.  That's at least what she wanted to believe.

"I just wanted to give you my cell phone number so you can call me and bother me as much as I am going to call you."

Tania smiled as she played with a piece of threading that was coming undone from the comforter.  "Well that seems fair, Justin.  Considering that I earned it...and more."

"And more?" He asked quizzically

"Yeah." she teased.

"What else did you earn, Tania?" Justin inquired with a smile.

"Don't worry about it right now, Justin.  You'll find out soon enough."

Justin gave her his cell phone number.

"Okay, now that you got my number let me ask you some questions.  I feel so bad about starting up this experiment without knowing anything about you." he said.

That night the two of them talked for hours.  Mostly about general things.  They both agreed not to get personal.  They got to know a little bit about each other, but not too much.  Tania never told him about her job and he never told her about his line of work.  They were both scared they'd end up liking each other for the wrong reasons and didn't want to take that chance…Not yet.

The next morning, Tania woke up with her cell phone next to ear and smiled. She hadn't stayed up all night talking on the phone since high school. 

She had the day off and decided to get some work done around the apartment for once.  Her laundry was piling up and the dishes in her sink were starting to grow fur. It was about 8am when the telephone rang. 'Who could be calling at this time of morning?' she thought to herself.

"Hello?" Tania answered the phone.

"Hi, Tania, this is Tom from the office."

"Oh, hi Tom, how are you?" Tania became very nervous remembering what she had done in her office the day before and knew that he was calling to fire her.

"I'm great.  I just wanted to let you know that the executives took a look at your proposal and they absolutely loved it!" Tom exclaimed.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Have you ever known me to kid about business, Tania?"

"Oh my gosh!  Thank you so much!"

"Don't thank me...It was all you. Now get a pen and a piece of paper because I have a lot of information to give you."

"Okay, shoot."

"Johnny Wright, Nsync's manager wants to meet with you this afternoon...which means that you will have to take a flight out of NY to Orlando today. When you get there a car will pick you up and take you to his office. You will then talk to Mr. Wright about your ideas in more detail.  You got that so far?"

"Yes."Tania said frantically writing on her notepad.

"This is what you've been waiting for, Tania..  Johnny Wright wants you to be 'Nsync's new PR consultant.  This means that you will have to relocate to their home base in Orlando Florida though..."

"Tom, I don't care. I'm finally moving up in the world!"

"Well, this is just as important for you as it is for the company.  He has a lot of major talent he is managing, which means more possible clients for the company."

"Yeah. Yeah.  I understand, Tom.  Don't screw it up."  she muttered.

Tom chuckled slightly.  "We've already booked your flight. Your plane leaves at 1:00.  Which means that you don't have much time to get packed and to the airport."

"Okay, let me go then!" Tania laughed.

"Let me know how everything goes, Tania.  I'm so happy for you!" Tom said cheerfully.

Tania immediately hung up the phone and started jumping up and down screaming with delight.  She ran and got packed and hustled herself off to the airport.

When her plane landed, she headed down the escalators to the luggage claim area.  A limo driver held up a sign with her name on it "Natania Stewart". Tania didn't recognize her name at first because everyone usually just called her Tania...But after seeing it in print, she decided to start anew and use her full name from now on with her new clients.

"Hi, I'm Natania."

"Hello miss, my name is Ron and I'll be your driver for today...Do you have anymore bags that need to be picked up?"

"Nope just these two."

"I'll take those for you ma'am...Please follow me."

The limo driver proceeded to place her bags in the trunk and opened the door for her as she stepped in. As Ron sat down in the drivers seat he proceeded to give Natania her schedule for the day.

"My instructions were to take you straight to the Wright Entertainment Group building...We will then leave from their and go to your hotel."

"Sounds fine to me, Ron."

Twenty minutes later they pulled up into the parking lot of the WEG building and an older man met her at the door.

"Miss Stewart?"

"Yes, hi!" she smiled, outstretching her hand to greet him.

"Hi, I'm Travis, I am Mr. Wrights assistant.  Would you please come with me?"

Natania followed him down a corridor of the office into a much larger room where Johnny Wright was sitting with some of his staff members. He immediately stood up an greeted her at the door.

Natania spent the next two hours discussing various ideas that she had for what they wanted to be their new approach to public relations and everyone seemed to love it.  She had been nervous the entire meeting because Johnny simply sat at the end of the table with his hat pulled down close to his eyes and he rarely smiled.  He just barreled question after question at her, but she was quick on her toes and ready with answers.  "Well, you definitely have the job, Miss Stewart." Johnny Wright said, finally sitting up in his chair and throwing a smile her way.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Wright." she walked over to shake his hand.

"No...Thank you."  He stood up and shook her hand, placing his other hand lightly on her shoulder.  "Oh, I want you to meet the guys before you leave.  Just follow Travis down the hall and he will take you out back to the Basketball courts.  That's where they spend most of their time when they are here." He laughed.

Natania and Travis walked out of the backdoor and through a garden to where there was a huge basketball court. She saw 6 people on the court playing and immediately recognized 5 of them. As they walked up she noticed that Justin only had on a wife beater and some Tarheels basketball shorts. Even with sweat dripping down his body, he looked sexy.  They were too busy playing to notice that she had walked up with Travis.

"Yo, guys!!!" Travis exclaimed. "Can you take a break for a second and meet your new PR consultant please."

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over at Travis and Natania. JC immediately dropped the ball and walked over to her to shake her hand.  "Hi, I'm JC."

"I'm Natania...It's very nice to meet you." she smiled.

Justin went and grabbed his shirt and placing it over his head to look presentable in front of this beautiful woman who had just walked up. As he stepped closer and heard her speak, he noticed that her voice sounded familiar. "Hi, I'm Justin"

"Hi, I'm Natania, if you hadn't already heard."

He shook her hand a little longer than planned, but there was just something about her that seemed so damn familiar.  Had they met before?
