 "Time is a lot of the things people say that God is. There's the always preexisting, and having no end. There's the notion of being all powerful--because nothing can stand against time, can it? Not mountains, not armies. And time is, of course, all healing. Give anything enough time, and everything is taken care of: all pain encompassed, all hardships erased, all loss subsumed. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Remember, man, that thou art dust; and unto dust thou shalt return. And if Time is anything akin to God, I suppose that Memory must be the Devil." -D.G

 

DISCLAMER: I don't own *NSYNC or Justin Timberlake, JIVE records, or anything else affiliated with the boys.  All of my stories are works of fiction.  I do own all original characters, plots, etc.  Please don't steal my stuff!

You see, dear reader, I never said that this was a love story. I never said that this was anything because in the end it turned out to be nothing... a lie, a joke, a figment of my imagination, just another conquest for him, a mistake for me, as Charlotte calls it 'a lesson learned,' a missing vingette from He's Just Not That Into You, to put it simply a 'cat/mouse' thing where the cat always wins and the mouse always loses.

For my Secret Santa, SomethingBlue42.

Brynn Clarkson prides herself in her work. On the brink of a promotion with Jive, she finds herself stuck filling the shoes of a personal assistant instead, to none other than Justin Timberlake as he releases his first solo album. Swallowing her pride, she agrees to do it. Little does she know, she's in for a lot more than one ever bargains for.

Ouch, JT got shut down!  I hope that Brynn warms up to him.  These next couple of months will suck if she keeps up with the cold shoulder!  Great update! Can't wait for the next one :)

Oooh..I love that she's opening up a little and letting the hardassness fall a little.  I can't help but wonder about what makes her so cold.

Loved it! Can't wait for the next one :)

Whew! That was intense :) Great piece! I loved it!

Author's Response: Thank you for the review!! 

Happy early Mother's Day. Drabble.

You're better then the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler than the flip side
Of my pillow, that's right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where
You send me, lets me know that it's okay
Yeah, it's okay
And the moments where my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed
Sing like bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

"Smile" --- Uncle Kracker

That was incredible.  You have such a way with words and this piece is no exception.  Wonderfully done :)

Justin missed a lot while living his fast paced life. He missed seeing his half-brothers grow up. He missed seeing his mother’s smiling face every day. He missed being normal. But the one thing he missed the most was always by his side, he just didn’t know it. It’ll take a wise-ass childhood friend, an all-knowing band mate, and a meddling cousin to make him realize what he’s been missing all along and what’s waiting for him back in Tennessee.

Trace always knew that there was a bigger world outside of Tennessee but he's never had the chance to venture out and experience it himself. Being Justin Timberlake's best friend has its perks but it also has its downsides, the latter of which he has grown accustomed to. He wants to take a chance—take a risk—in the real world but the ties he has to his home are so strong that he can't ignore them anymore.

I keep waiting to figure out what this girl is running from, lol.  I love Trace, though.  I love that you've given him most of the attention and I can't wait to see where you take him/Mack/Justin...so good!

I love that this is from JT's POV.  It adds a new dimention and I like that.  I'm so curious to know what's sent her running, though, and I can't wait to get more!
