‘Whoever decided that having MC Hammer’s ‘Can’t Touch This’ as a ring tone needed to be shot’ she thought groaning at the sound invading her head. Belinda pulled the quilt up and over her head, trying to block out the noise that was screaming somewhere in the room.
Upon hearing another groan Belinda lifted the quilt the tiniest bit, not wanting to let the noise in, and looked to see Justin rolling over towards here as if to get away from the sound too.
“Girl why the fuck do you have that on your phone?” asked a groggy Justin, while pulling her towards him, as if to steal her warmth, eyes still closed
“What are you on about it’s not my phone” she said while releasing a yawn then laying her head in the crook of Justin’s neck.
“Well it certainly isn’t mine with that shit on it. And whose ever it is they need to be hung” he said with a slight chuckle
Groaning into his neck at the sound of laughter Belinda wondered what they had gotten up to the night before since her head felt like her brain was pumping inside causing her head to feel two sizes too small “Not so loud” she whispered to him
Opening his eyes Justin looked at the body curled right into him as if to use him as a sound buffer “Hung-over?” he asked quietly as he tamed some of her hair away from her face
“Mmhmm” she mumbled, closing her eyes at the soothing feel of his hands in her hair
“Maybe you need a shower and breakfast, then you’ll be all good and ready for our date” he said with a small smile
Belinda opened her eyes and smiled at him when he mentioned their upcoming date “Shower sounds good, but can’t we just have our date in bed” she asked
Justin lightly chuckled at her “Well you shot that to shit when you said you didn’t put out on the first date hot stuff”
Sending him as evil a glare as she could she slightly smacked his chest “To sleep Randall I just want to sleep away the thumping”
“I know babe I know” he said still chuckling “But a guy can dream right”
“Dream all you want big boy, I’m not in the industry of making dreams come true” she said with a small chuckle herself, then groaning as it vibrated inside her head
“Ok come on” he said lifting her up “What? Where are going?” she asked slightly dazed
“Making you have that shower I suggested. I can deal with you not putting out on our date but a crabby date I won’t have” he said tugging her along and into her bathroom
“How come your not hung-over?” she slightly whined as she watched him turn the shower on and put his hand underneath the stream
Justin laughed as he looked her over “I stop somewhere between the last round of I never and your dance off with Jace to Vanilla Ice” he said with a laugh
Belinda groaned in embarrassment “Did I at least win?” she asked as Justin made his way towards her
“To be honest I’m not sure either of you did. Now come on this will be a good cure for your head and it won’t stay warm for us for long” he said tugging on her shirt
“Us?” she said with a smirk
“What? Just because I don’t have a hang over doesn’t mean I don’t need a shower too” he said pulling her shirt over her head and tugging her towards the shower
“Sneaky Randall very sneaky”

“So the son of a bitch finally asked her out did he?”
JC looked up from his breakfast and across the table at Trace who was smiling at him over his coffee mug. Nodding his he let out a laugh “Yep, with a little kick in the ass from my direction may I add”
“About fucking time” Trace said with a shake of his head
“What is the story with those two anyway? I mean you’d have to be a fool not to notice how smitten they both are with each other, yet they play it off as nothing”
Trace groaned at the line of questioning “Dude I am so lost when it comes to those two” he said with a roll of his eyes “At first, like before we knew her it was just the usual, yep I’m gonna hit that, but after I started to talk to her and got to know her it just didn’t seem right to let him do that you know” he asked causing JC to nod him his
“I mean me and J have argued about it a bit, because I know somewhere along the lines he’s gotten to know her and has taken a shine to her and visa versa, but until last night they would both just fool around with each other and only each other and play it of as nothing”
“He said something about not feeling ready?”
“Ever since Jess, he’s used that excuse when it comes to relationships. Those two, they went their separate ways, no cheating no nothing, they just grew apart. But I think that hurt him more in some way since he felt if neither did anything obviously wrong, then it must have been the person he was that made them drift apart.”
“He honestly doesn’t still think that though right?” asked JC slightly startled that his friend had such self doubt
Trace shrugged his shoulders in response “I’m not sure” he answered “Just being around someone like Belinda, so fresh faced and not jaded by this Hollywood shit has been good for him. He in a way I think feels like her protector or something” he said with a slight chuckle
“You should have seen him when she had that run in with the paps, without me saying anything apart from Belinda got hurt, he was in my car no questions asked and he stayed with her alone all night and really helped her out with it all”
“I saw the story about that on the TV. Was it really bad” asked JC. After last night he had really taken a liking to Belinda and could understand why Justin and Trace had both become fast friends with her.
“It shook her up real bad.” Trace said with a nod “She kept to herself a lot when we got back on set. You know just going to work and nothing else, she even stayed away from Jay until her confronted her about it the other day”
Both men remained quite both thinking of the life they had been thrust into. One by choice the other by chance, both wondering if sometimes it was worth it.
“You think they can survive this? Well whatever this turns out to be” asked JC
Taking a deep breathe Trace looked down at his coffee mug with a shrug “I really don’t know, but if you were either of them would you really want to hold back to not find out?” he said causing them to both fall into silent thoughts again
“So I hear we had a dance off last night Mr. Chasez”
Both men looked at the girl who had joined them at the table, smile on her face and oversized glasses over her eyes
“We sure did” he said with a smile in her direction “And I also remember that you went skinny dipping in the tenth grade with a boy whose name was Glen” he said with a chuckle as she gasped in shock
“Get the fuck out” said Trace as he grinned at the girl before him
“Shut up Tracey” Belinda said sending a smirk towards JC “You weren’t there you don’t get details, and besides Mr Chasez the things I remember about you, they may be few and far between at the moment but there are some and I am sure I can sell them for a pretty penny”
“I wouldn’t be making threats if I was you Bel, give him time and he could sell anything about you too” came the voice of Justin as he joined the group, handing Belinda a coffee mug, then moved his hand to her hip, giving it a squeeze
“Well what’s the fun in playing I never if you can’t threaten people with the information you have just obtained, I thought that was the aim of the game?” she asked jokingly bumping herself slightly back into Justin, then taking a seat next to Trace
“So what were you fellas talking about? Anything good?” she asked sipping her coffee
Both guys sent the other a look then turned to Belinda to answer her question together
“Fishing”
