“It’s really great to have you back Leah!” Karen, JC’s mom exclaimed. Leah and JC were back in Orlando, at his parent’s house, eating dinner.

“Well, it’s great to be back Karen.” Leah replied, taking a sip of wine. The great thing about your boyfriend being your best friend was that there was no awkward ‘meeting of the parents’ scenario. Growing up, Leah had spent enough time in this house that she had practically become family. Enough time that JC’s parents insisted long ago that she call them Roy and Karen.

“I tell you, it’s really good to see you two together again.” Roy said, sitting at the head of the table. Leah smiled, and JC placed a hand on her thigh under the table. Roy was pleased to see his son happy with the girl he always thought was right for him.

“Thanks, Dad.” JC replied, taking a bite of his crab cake. Right before his and Leah’s flight took off, JC had called his parents- who split their time between their hometown of Bowie, Maryland and Orlando- to let them know that they were planning on spending a week in Orlando. Always excited when any of her children came back home, Karen had invited JC and Leah over for dinner their first night in town, and she had spent all day preparing a huge seafood meal fit for a king. “So Ty, how’s school?” JC asked his brother Tyler, who was in his sophomore year of college.

“Great, In fact, I made the Dean’s List last semester, and I’m pretty sure I’ll be making it again at the end of spring semester.” Tyler said, wiggling his eyebrows in his father’s direction.

“That’s great Ty!” JC exclaimed, proud of his little brother.

“Oh, boy,” Roy groaned, jokingly.

“Wait, what’s that supposed to mean?” JC asked.

“It means that I made a deal with Dad that if I made the Dean’s list for the third time in a row, then I get a new car.” Tyler smirked. “Time to break out your wallet, Dad.”

“Yeah Dad, I’m sure Ty just hates picking up Lindsay in JC’s hand-me-downs.” Heather spoke up.

“Oh so you have a girlfriend?” Leah asked. “Go Ty!” Leah remembers when Tyler was just a ten year old wanting to be just like JC, and now he was a young adult with a life of his own. And a girlfriend! Cue the Awww moment.

“And Heather, how’s work going?” JC asked. Heather was finishing up her first year as a teacher at a high school in Maryland.

“Well, I’m glad the year’s almost over.” She answered honestly. “Those kids are bad as fuc-“

“Heather!” Karen interrupted.

“Sorry. Anyway, I hope the school board moves me to another school next year.” Heather said.

Leah laughed at her honesty. Being back at the Chasez home was like being back with family, and she was having a great time. Leah sat back, and enjoyed the verbal banter going on between JC and his family. This week would be all about relaxation. Now that Jill was back in Louisville, and out of Leah and Lucky’s hair, Leah officially had no worries. All she wanted to do have a good time with her boyfriend. This was going to be a good week.

************************** 

A while later, JC and Leah were down in the basement, a place where many of their teenage memories had been made. It hadn’t changed much since they had been young, aside from the brand new furniture, and seventy inch TV screen.

“Okay, it’s been forever ago since I’ve been down here,” Leah said. “And it hasn’t changed a bit.”

“Man we’ve had some good times down here.” JC stated. He sat down on the couch, and Leah followed suit. “So, ready to relive some terrible haircuts and horrendous fashion choices?” JC asked, picking up an old scrapbook that was on the coffee table in front of them.

“Ugh, I don’t think I’m drunk enough for that!” Leah groaned, as JC opened up the book.

“Hey remember this?” He asked. The picture was of Leah and JC outside, the sun had set, and JC had his arm draped over Leah’s shoulder, and they had these huge cheesy grins on their faces.

“Oh my God,” Leah marveled, looking at the picture. “That’s on the night we first met.” JC and Leah had been at a cast party held at MGM Studios. That was a day she would never forget. That had been like the first day of the rest of her life. “What was up with your hair?” Leah teased.

“My hair? What was up with those overalls?” In the picture, Leah had on a pair of denim overall shorts with a red T-shirt underneath, and a pair of Converse.

“Oh don’t knock the overalls!” Leah laughed. “I specifically remember you and the guys going through an overall phase that lasted about a good two years! And besides, you were totally checking my ass out in those shorts!”

“I was not checking your ass out!” JC replied. Leah glared at him. “Okay, fine. I was checking your ass out.” He admitted. “But that's only because you have such a great ass.” JC said, before planting a soft kiss on Leah’s lips.

“Nice save, Chasez.” She whispered, playfully, before turning the page. “Oh no! Can we just refer to this period as The Dark Ages?” The next picture was of JC and Leah at the Chasez annual Fourth of July cook out back in ’92.

“What? I thought you looked cute in your glasses.” JC replied.

Leah wrinkled her nose. Since getting contacts, she barely wore her glasses outside the confines of her home. “Ugh, you really think so?”

“Yeah, it brought out your eyes.” He replied.

Leah blushed a little. Oh God, she was in his basement, blushing! Was she sixteen again? She sure felt like it and she didn’t mind. “Okay, now I can’t even defend this!” Leah laughed, after JC had turned the page. There was a picture of him and Tony Lucca. JC in a pair of orange and black striped parachute pants, a white t-shirt, and green blazer. Tony was in almost the same except his pants were black, and his blazer was purple.

JC burst out laughing. “I just… I uh- Hey, I don’t even know!”

“You look like a cross between Zack Morris and MC Hammer!” Leah laughed.

“Yeah, maybe we should call this period this period The Dark Ages!” JC said.

“But we did have some good times.” Leah replied.

“Some great times,” JC smiled. Just as he was about to flip the page again, something had fallen out of the back of the book. JC picked up what looked to be an old photo strip, and turned it over. “Wow,” JC marveled at the series of photos of him and Leah at seventeen years old.

“Oh my God, I remember that!” Leah exclaimed. “It was that day we went to Disney World; I think that was our last time going together too.” Leah could remember like it was just yesterday; she and JC had spent the whole day together riding rides and having a blast.

“That was the night I kissed you.” JC said.

“Yeah.” Leah smiled, thinking back to how freaked out she was.

“I thought you’d be so mad at me.” JC let out a small laugh, thinking back to how silly he’d been.

“And I thought my world was gonna end when you told me that you only liked me as a friend.” Leah admitted.

“Really?” JC asked. He remembered thinking that Leah would never be into him.

“Totally! We were such dramatic little teenagers!” Leah sighed.

“You’re telling me? I was so afraid to make the first move.” JC said.

“No shit! I had to make the first move!” Leah replied.

“Yeah, and when you did, it was… Wow!” JC exclaimed, thinking back to the night when they made love for the very first time.

“Remember how we’d been so afraid of change?” Leah asked JC.

“Yeah, and we made promises about how we would always stick by each other’s side.” JC replied.

“So far it looks like all of those promises are kept.” Leah said. She thought back to the time when they were seventeen and promised that they wouldn’t forget each other when they went on to achieve their dreams.

“And now things are even better.” JC said, reaching for Leah’s hand and interlocking his finger with hers. He brought her hand up to his lips, and kissed it.

Leah could feel those butterflies in the pit of her stomach, and the blush slowly creeping up her face like it had many times when she was a teenager in JC’s presence. She hadn’t felt this good in forever, and she really didn’t mind.

“Hey, you ready to get out here?” JC asked, breaking Leah from her train of thought.

“Yeah,” she simply replied, ready for some much needed alone time.

******************** 

“So, we’re finally alone.” Leah said to JC in between kisses. The two were back at JC’s house, upstairs in his bedroom.

“Exactly what I’ve been waiting for,” JC said, grabbing her around the waist and pulling her close.

“You know what would be great babe?” Leah asked, shivering, as JC traced kisses along her neck and down to her collarbone.

“What’s that?” he asked, mindlessly.

“If you could get that bottle of Merlot out of the fridge,” Leah suggested.

“What?” JC looked up at her. “Now?”

“Yeah, it’ll be good, don’t you think?” Leah asked.

“Really, now?” Leah nodded. When she didn’t budge, JC figured the quicker he did as he was told, the better. “Fine,” he sighed, starting towards the door.

“Thank you.” Leah said sweetly. She felt a little guilty, but knew that in the end it would be worth his while. As soon as she heard JC’s footsteps start down the stairs, she immediately started to undress. She knew it wouldn’t take much time for JC to get a bottle of wine and two glasses, so she would try her best to stall. “Hey Babe!” She called.

“Yeah?” JC called back.

“I think I left my phone downstairs, can you see if you see it anywhere?” By now Leah was hopping out of her jean shorts.

“You don’t need it tonight do you?” JC asked from the bottom of the stairs.

He was so confused, and she knew it. “I know but, I’ll probably forget about it in the morning and lose it. Can you just look around a bit?” Leah had tip toed quickly across the hardwood floor, so that he wouldn’t hear her.

“Wait what? Alright, fine. I’ll be up soon.” JC sighed.

He sounded defeated. Poor baby. Once Leah was out of her jeans and tank top that she had worn earlier, she had dashed back across the other side of the room, and into JC’s spacious bathroom. Damn, why does his room have to be so big? She thought.

A few minutes later, a very frustrated JC was making his way back up the bedroom, Merlot and wine glasses in hand. “Leah, I didn’t see your phone anywhere downstai-“ He stopped midsentence when he saw that the lights had been dimmed and candles had been lit. “What did you do?” JC asked. Not that he was complaining. He most certainly was not complaining, but wow that was fast!

“You. Sit.” Leah demanded.

JC laid his eyes on Leah, who he noticed was wearing a change of clothes; she wore nothing but his red Valentino dress shirt that came down to her knees, a black oversized belt, and black fishnet stockings. Her hair was clipped up into a bun and she had on that vanilla body mist that he loved. JC swallowed hard, not knowing what to say. His mouth went dry, his dick got hard, and his mind drew blanks.

Leah rolled her eyes playfully. “Gosh, do I have to do everything? Sit!” She repeated, taking JC by the hand, and leading him to the front edge of the bed. She took the wine and glasses from his hand, and placed them on a nightstand nearby. Without saying a word, Leah walked over to the chair that she had placed in the middle of the room, and turned on the stereo with the remote she had in her hand. Baby-Baby-Baby by TLC blasted over the speakers, and Leah began a chair routine which she had choreographed, and had been working on for the past week.

As the music started, Leah pulled the hair clip from her hair, tossed it across the room, and let her long flowing hair fall down into soft curls around her face, before straddling the backward facing chair and beginning the routine. Leah winked at JC before, swinging her head around and whipping her hair, then wrapping her legs around the chair.

The look on JC’s face was priceless, as he watched Leah dance, and sensually caress the chair.

Do you want my love, well, that's alright
Well, it will be there for you morning, noon and night
But you gotta be good and do it right
Ain't got no time for part-time lovin' in my life

As the first verse started, Leah swung one of her legs to one side of the chair to meet the other and rolled all the way back across the chair. In one fluid motion, Leah rolled back up, and stood on top of the chair and, very slowly, very sensually began to caress her body. She removed her belt, and tossed it far across the room. Coming down from the chair, Leah abruptly turned it around, and strutted to the front of the chair.

Well you wanna be loved (uh) 
Hey that's O.K. 
Cause it falls in line right with my sexuality…

Leah dipped down low in a squatting position, and spread her legs before quickly closing them again.

JC bit down hard on his bottom lip, while clenching the bed spread.

Oh baby, baby, baby 
I got so much love in me 
Ooh (baby, baby,) baby, baby, baby 
Cause if you're gonna get me off 
You got to love me deep…

Sitting back on the chair, Leah began to take off her stockings one by one, and threw them at JC.

Well you want my heart (uh) 
And all my time 
Well it won't be there if you can't deal with my mind 
Cause a girl like me (uh) 
Won't stand for less 
I require plenty conversation with my sex 

As the song went on, Leah performed her Burlesque routine, showcasing her flexibility and sexuality, both of which turned JC on.

I can have any man that I want to 
Time and place that I choose to 
But I think you know that I'd rather be here with you 

Yeah 
That's actual and factual 
You're the one I seem to run back to 
Just to get me off 
You got to love me, got to love me, got to love me 

Leah started to unbutton her, well his, shirt to reveal a lacy black La Perla bra, showcasing her perky c-cup breasts. When she saw that JC was getting even more excited she stopped halfway through, and began to dance again. The man was sweating. Tired of teasing, he wanted to get his hands on every inch of her glorious body, and to kiss her every curve.

By the time the chorus came back around, Leah finished unbuttoning the shirt, and took it off completely, now in nothing but the bra, and matching thong. As the song ended, Leah confidently strutted toward her man. She straddled his lap, and locked eyes with him. “I thought I’d give you the honors of taking off the rest.” She whispered very sensually and huskily into his ear.

JC looked up at Leah, her green eyes piercing into his. So much lust, and want filled her eyes, but more than that, such boldness. She was filled with a fierceness that he had never seen before. She was so bold, and confident, and sure of herself, and JC found that so sexy.

Bringing her fingers up to the back of his hair, Leah pulled JC in for a passionate kiss, her tongue massaging his, and her legs wrapped tightly around his torso. She tipped him backward, and JC rolled back onto the bed, taking Leah with him.

And that night, Leah and JC had made the most intense, mind blowing and earth shattering love to each other. After they had both reached their climax, they spent the night in each other’s embrace neither one of them willing nor wanting to move or be apart from each other. That night had been paradise, and all they needed was each other to feel complete.
