Part Two
“Wade?” I called. A nice looking guy turned around.
“You must be Kylin.”
“I am. Are you ready to audition?”
“Yeah, here’s your headset, we’re on channel 1. The guys are ready when you are.”
Auditions were harder than I thought. We had a turn out of about 500 people. We had to get it narrowed down to 11 girls and 6 guys. We had a long day a head of us. I was in charge of keeping an eye on the girls that would look nice for the guys’ dance partners, and I was keeping tabs on who the guys liked, while Wade was narrowing the field of guys. It was nearing 1:15.
“Okay, let’s take a lunch break, Be back here, stretched and ready to go at 2:30.” I said. Wade and I walked up to the room. We spent our break talking things over with the guys.
“Alright, we have it narrowed down to 25 girls. Guys, please talk to me about who you like okay?”
“Yes, boss lady.” I smiled at Chris. “Well, shall we go back down?” We went back downstairs.
“Alright, guys, Wade is going to show you your routine. This will be our final cut.” I announced. “And girls, I’ll show you your routine. This is also your final cut.” We spent the next half hour showing and teaching the 5 8-count routine (so it was 40 seconds long).
“Alright, this is it ladies and gentlemen.” I said. We had our dancers picked, except for one, JC’s partner. I looked at Wade and he shrugged.
“Sit tight, we’ll be back to announce our choices.” I said. We went to talk to the guys.
“Here’s our problem, I can’t find a girl that would look good with JC.” I said.
“That’s because your the only that would.” Joe said. “Raise your hands if you agree.” Everyone, including JC raised their hands. That was it, I was his partner.
“Alright, let’s go announce the dancers.” I said. We walked down stairs.
“Wade, why don’t you start with the guys.”
“Alright, we have decided. If your name is called, please stay. Here we go: Ray, Dan, Corey, John, Chad and Lucas. The rest of you, thanks for trying, hope to see you next year.” Wade said.
“Girls, thank you all for trying out. It was tough. Please stay if your name is called. They are: Tracey, Amber, Emily, Alisha, Daline, Courtney, Nivea, Nicole, Christina and Mandy.” I said. After everyone had left, I spoke my final words to them. “Congratulations! Tonight we’re having a dinner party here. You’ll be able to meet the guys. It’s semi-formal, bring a date, and we start at 7. If I don’t see you tonight, have fun and be here Monday morning at 8 am. Don’t be late. You can go.” I walked off.
“So, dance partner, how was everything?” I heard JC ask.
“Exhausting, but fun.” I smiled.
“Good, so, you going to the dinner thing tonight?”
“Don’t know yet, why?”
“Well, if I asked you to go with me as my date, would you come with me?” JC asked shyly.
“Yeah, but you have to ask me.”
“Will you be my date tonight to the dinner party?”
“Joshua-wait, what’s your middle name?”
“Scott.”
“Joshua Scott Chasez, I would be delighted.” I smiled.
“Good, I’ll pick you up at 6:30.”
“Well, I’m at my house now, so why don’t you come at 6 and I can give you the tour?”
“Sounds good.”
“Do you want directions?”
“Yeah, that might be good.” I handed him a slip of paper.
“So, what are you wearing tonight?”
“I don’t know yet.”
“Well, that doesn’t help me.”
“Why don’t you come pick out something for me to wear?”
“I got my first paycheck, so why don’t we go shopping?”
“I can’t-”
“Oh yeah, forgot the whole famous guy, body guard stuff.”
“Do you wanna come over?”
“Yeah, I’ll get to see your house.”
“Alright, do you wanna follow me there?”
“Yeah, I’m right behind you.” I said. I got into my car. I have the sweetest car. It’s a 2002 black, convertible, Mitsubishi Eclipse. It has a tan cloth interior, purple neon’s underneath, a spoiler on the back and sweet rims. I love my car, I’ve only had it for 6 months.
Ten minutes later we arrived at JC’s house. He typed in the security code and the gates opened.
“Nice shack.” I smiled.
“Thanks.” He laughed. We walked in through the garage. “Would you like the grand tour?”
“Sure.” He lead me through the maze he calls home. It was gorgeous, beautifully decorated.
“Okay, this last room is my favorite room in the house, are you ready?”
“Yeah.” I smiled. He opened to door to reveal the master room, his room. It had off white walls, with beautiful gold tints. He had a four post bed with a deep maroon bedspread. It was decorated with off white and black pillows. His bed, end tables, dresser, and chest were made of mahogany. Through out his room, were wrought iron candle holders of all shapes and sizes; upon each sat a vanilla candle that matched the walls.
“This is gorgeous.” I said.
“Thanks. I did it myself.” He smiled proudly. “Come see the bathroom.” He grabbed my hand and lead me in. It’s walls were the maroon color. He had black towels hanging. The counter tops were black granite. There were two sinks, each was a white ceramic with black faucets. The shower was a dual head shower and very spacious. His bath tub was huge. It was a circle, It was big enough to where I could lay down flat in it. It had jets everywhere. It also had candles everywhere.
“This brings one word to mind.”
“And what word would it be?”
“Romantic.”
“That’s what I was hoping to achieve.”
“Mission accomplished.”
“There’s more.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, it’s just my closet.” He opened a door. His closet was very organized. There was a 3 way full-length mirror and a circle seat in the middle.
“Man this is the coolest.”
“Thanks.” He said.
“What’s this door for?”
“Well, when I bought this house, I knew I wanted to live in it forever, so I got it with him and her closets, so that’s the her closet.”
“Cool.” I smiled big.
“Do you wanna pick out something for me to wear?”
“Yeah, is the thing indoors?”
“Yeah, and it’s semi formal.”
“Okay, let me look.” I said. He sat down on the chair. I walked all around his closet, pulling possible outfits down. After about 15 minutes I had 3 options.
“Alright, try this on.” I said handing him outfit number one-dark blue jeans with a white wife beater and a black dress shirt over it. He tried on the other two outfits also.
“I like the second one better.” He said.
“Then wear that one.” I said.
“All I need now is shoes.”
“How about your white Nike’s, it’ll help keep the outfit not so formal.”
“Great, I’m gonna take a shower, do you just wanna watch some TV?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay, the remote is on the end table, just push power.”
“Sounds great.” I said. I walked off. I found the remote and pushed power, but I didn’t see a TV. Then I saw it coming out of the chest at the foot of the bed. I sat in the middle of the bed and turned it to MTV.
“I’m Gideon Yago and I’m here with some NSYNC tour news. There was a line up change. Wade Robson was supposed to choreograph and direct this years tour, but that’s no longer happening. New comer Kylin Richards is choreographing. Kylin is a 24-year-old Navy medic. That’s it for the news. Stay tuned for more news at ten the hour, here on MTV.”
The Real World rerun started up again.
“Okay, how do I look?” I looked at him and went speechless. He came out in black dress pants and a blue polo. The only reaction he received was my jaw dropping. He still had water on his body, his hair was wet and, wow. That’s all I have to say. “I’ll take that as something good.”
“You look nice.” I said.
“Thanks, I just need to get my shoes on then we can go.”
“Okay.”
“Oh, I have a question for you.”
“Yeah?”
“MTV news said that you are a Navy medic, I thought you were out of the Navy.”
“Well, I’m on in-active duty right now which means that I’m not getting a salary. For every year spent in the Navy on active duty, one year of in-active is required. Since I’m on in-active, I’ll get called before the draft starts if that’s needed.”
“Oh, I see.” He said. “Ready to go?”
“Yeah.” I smiled. We drove to my house.
“Nice place.”
“Thanks, you’ll have to excuse any mess that you see.”
“I will.”
“Would you like to tour or would you like that later?”
“Well, considering it’s already after 5, I think I should pick your outfit and you should get ready to go.”
“Alright, follow me.” I lead him upstairs and into my room. “Okay, my closet is a mess.”
“I’ll consider that a warning.” He laughed. He opened the door. “It’s not that bad.”
“Compared to yours it’s a pig sty!”
“No it’s not.”
“Alright, I won’t argue with you.” I said.
“Good.” He smiled. He walked around my closet.
“This is the only thing that jumped out at me.” He said holding out a light blue, strapless dress.
“Wow, I forgot I had that.”
“Well, go shower and stuff.”
“Yes sir!” I saluted him and walked off. 25 minutes later I opened the bathroom door.
“You look beautiful.”
“Thanks, I just need to blow dry my hair and put on a little make up. Will you go into my closet and find my blue heels?”
“Yeah.” He walked off. I blowed my brown hair straight and curled the ends of it. When my hair is down it’s to the middle of my back I put on a little blue eyeshadow (the blue matched my eyes), some mascara, a little blush and clear lipgloss. JC walked in.
“Are you almost done?” He looked at me in the mirror. “Wow.”
“That better be a good wow.” I laughed.
“It’s is, trust me.” He said handing me my shoes.
“I have a favor to ask you.”
“Okay.”
“These are very close to being stilletos, so will you not punch me if I complain about my feet hurting.”
“Well, I’ll make you a deal. I’ll rub your feet when we get home if you let me kiss your cheek everytime you complain.”
“You can kiss me whenever you want.”
“So, would you be mad if I kissed you now?”
“As soon as everyone sees me with a good make-up job, you can kiss me.”
“Deal.”
“We should be going, it’s already 5 til 7.”
“We’ll be fashionably late.” We hopped in JC’s Jeep and drove for about 20 minutes.
“Ready?”
“Yeah.” JC held out his arm and I took it. We walked into the giant party room to find Johnny at the microphone.
“It’s seems that 2 of the 6 guests of honors aren’t here yet so-oh wait, here they are now.” Everyone turned to look at us. It was almost embarassing, but I couldn’t help but smile when I realized they were looking at us and not just me. JC and I looked at each other and smiled. “Well, now that everyone is here, I would like for Kylin, Joey, Justin, JC, Lance and Chris to all come up here.” Johnny said. We all made our way to the stage. “These six people are truly amazing people. I have them as the guests of honor tonight, to recognize their amazing accomplishments and talent. You all already know what I’m talking about with NSYNC, but Kylin is their new choreographer and she is going to make this tour spectacular. Kylin, why don’t you come say a few words?” Johnny asked. I shook my head. Then everyone started chanting ‘speech’ over and over again. I walked to the microphone.
“Hi, I’m Kylin, their choreographer. Uh, I really don’t know what to say except that these guys are really talented people, and I look forward to working with them and with everyone else on the tour staff. I’d like to thank everyone that gave me this opprotunity, so thanks a million.” I smiled and walked away.
“Alright, thanks. Let’s eat!” Everyone applauded. We walked to our table. We all talked over dinner and had a good time. When everything was cleared, the live band started. I saw couples dancing.
“Would you like to dance?” I turned around to face Joey.
“Of course.” I smiled. He lead me out to the dance floor. We danced to the semi-slow beat.
“So, you and JC are looking chummy.”
“Yeah.”
“What’s going on with you guys?”
“Well, we like each other, we’re just waiting to see where our feelings take us.”
“So, I don’t have to worry about you?”
“You should have worried about me with the 500 guys I could have chosen.”
“Yeah, I’m worried because he’s one of my best friends and so are you and I only want to see my friends happy.”
“Thanks.”
“No problem, but there’s a lonely guy sitting at our table, why don’t you go over.” Joey said. He walked off. There sat JC, all by himself. Then out of nowhere there was a group of girls surrounding him. It was the new dancers. I grabbed a glass of red wine and sat down in an empty chair to wallow in my jealousy. As I was swallowing the last little bit I heard someone speak to me.
“Why is a pretty girl like you sitting here all by herself.”
“Because her date was occupied with some business that made her jealous.” He held his hand out. I accepted. He lead me to the floor and we danced.
“You were jealous?” I nodded. “Of what?”
“Those girls.”
“Now, why would you be? I like you, I really do. I don’t want you to think for a moment that I don’t.”
“Okay, but my feet hurt.” I smiled. I got a kiss on my cheek. “Wow, they’re really killin.” I got another kiss. “I can barely stand.”
“Would you shut up for awhile if I just laid one on ya?”
“I don’t know, wanna find out?” He smiled. We got closer and closer. I could feel his breath on my lips. I closed my eyes.
“I’ve wanted to do this for almost two weeks now.” He whispered. I closed the gap between us. It was the most amazing kiss I had ever received. I was in pure heaven. When he pulled away I opened my eyes. He smiled at me. He leaned his forhead on mine. I felt his breath on my lips again. “Wait here okay? I have a surprise for you.” He smiled and ran off. He ran on the stage with the rest of the guys.
“Alright, we are going to sing a song right now, that has yet to be choreographed, but it’s goin out to a special woman. Kylin, this is for you.” JC said. The music to ‘Girlfriend’ started. It was wonderful. Everyone applauded at the end. The guys jumped off the stage. JC walked over to me.
“I was wondering, if you would be my girlfriend?”
“Yeah.” I smiled. We kissed again.
“Do you wanna get out of here?”
“Sounds good.” I said. We walked out to his car. We were makin the trek back to my house.
“Do you wanna come over and go swimming tomorrow?”
“What day is it?”
“Saturday.”
“Yeah, I have the back up choreography done, so it would be great.”
“It’s a date.” He pulled up infront of my house. He walked me to the door.
“Have a good night.”
“You too.”
“I’m an old-fashioned guy, can you tell?”
“Yeah, but I like it.” I said. We kissed and I watched him run back to his car. I walked inside and went to my room.
“Chester! What are you doing on my bed?” I asked my doggie. He’s a pound puppy, so I don’t know what kind of dog he is. He’s black with a white spot on his chest, hence the name Chester. He has no tail, due to his previous owner. He wagged his little nub and started to get excited.
“How is my precious baby?” I said. I played with Chester. After about half an hour I put him back outside. He went running after a ball I threw. I went up to my room and got ready for bed. At one o’clock in the morning, I went to bed.
I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing.
“Hello?” I asked barely audible.
“Kylin?”
“Yeah.”
“It’s JC, is this a bad time?”
“No, I just woke up.”
“It’s after 1 in the afternoon, girlie!”
“Are you shittin me?”
“Nope. Sit tight, don’t get out of bed. I have a surprise for you.”
“Okay.”
“Hang up the phone now.”
“Alright.” I did as I was told. I rolled back over and went back to sleep.
JC made the short drive over to Kylin’s house. He let himself in and went running up the stairs to her room. He found her peacefully sleeping. He slipped his shoes off and layed next to her.
“Ky?” He said. He received no response. He started to rub her back. She turned her head and smiled.
“Hi.” I said barely above a whisper.
“You must be wiped out.”
“Just a little.” I smiled.
“You know, I never gave you that foot massage.”
“I don’t care, I got kisses out of it so I’m a happy girl.” I lightly laughed. He brushed the hair out of my face.
“Well, in that case, how about I kidnap you and we can lounge around in front of the pool.”
“Sounds ducky.”
“Ducky?”
“My mom used to say it, so now I do.” I smiled.
“I see.”
“Hey, will you rummage through the top drawer and find me a swim suit?”
“Yeah.” He smiled. He walked through my room to my dresser. “How many suits do you have?”
“A lot! I got new suits in every port!”
“That would explain it.” He went digging around. “This is perfect, put this on. Do whatever girls do and meet me downstairs in 15 minutes.”
“Yes sir!” I saluted him.
“Very funny.”
“Go ahead and rummage through the fridge if you want. There might be some kool-aid in there.”
“Sounds ducky.”
“Shut up!” I laughed. I walked to my bathroom. I slid into the black, Victoria secret bikini and brushed my hair and teeth. I put my hair up in a claw. I walked into my room and saw JC sitting on my bed. “I thought you were gonna be downstairs waiting for me.”
“I changed my mind.”
“Whatever.” I smiled. I came over a kissed the tip of his nose.
“That’s not fair!”
“All’s fair in love and war.” I slid my black capri’s on and my flip flops on. I grabbed some other clothes, just in case. “Ready?”
“Yup yup.”
“Alright, I’m gonna drive my car. Do you wanna ride with me?”
“Yeah, that sounds fun.”
“Okay, right this way.” I said. I walked to the garage to expose my beauty.
“You must have been makin a lot of money.”
“Why?”
“Well, you have some nice stuff.”
“I know, I love it!” I laughed. I pulled out onto the main road. The top was down. My NSYNC music came blaring through the speakers.
“Sorry, I was trying to come up with some ideas.” I smiled shyly.
“No prob.” We sat in silence. “You’re a crazy driver.”
“Don’t make me pull over.”
“What are ya gonna do? Spank me?”
“Only in your dreams.” I laughed. “Pick a CD.” I handed my CD case.
“What if I like listening to myself?”
“Whatever makes you happy.” I laughed. He loaded up a CD.
“Is this the real life, or is it just fantasy...”
“Oh lordy! I love this song!” It was Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. We rode the rest of the way listening to Queen. We walked into his house.
“Mmmm...what’s cookin?” I said as we walked into kitchen.
“I don’t know. I wasn’t-mom?!” JC said, schocked.
“Why hello dear.” The woman smiled warmly.
“Hi mom. What are you doing here?”
“I’m cooking. Who is this beauty?”
“Mom, I’d like you to meet our choreographer and my girlfriend, Kylin.”
“Well, hi! I’m Karen, his mother.” She said embracing me.
“Hi, nice to meet you.”
“What are you kids up to?”
“Relaxing.” We answered simultaneously.
“Oh well, the cookies are almost done. I’ll bring some to you when they’re ready.”
“Alright mom. I’m gonna run upstairs real quick, so why don’t the two of you chat?”
“What a wonderful idea.” I sat down at the table.
“So, how did you become their choreographer?”
“Well, actually it was all Joey. He new that I was lookin’ for a job, so he brought me to meet his friends, and Wade bailed so I was chosen.”
“Wow, what kind of job did you have before this?”
“I was a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy for 6 years.”
“Wow, that’s heroic.”
“Thanks, it was really fun.”
“So, what do your parents think of this?”
“Well, my mom died when I was 14, so I moved to my dad’s and he really was never my dad, so I decided to go.”
“How old are you?”
“I’m 24, but I’ll be 25 in a couple months.”
“Well that’s great. Here’s some advice. Treat him well, and you’ll be treated like a queen. Whatever you give out, he’ll return ten times better.”
“That’s a very good piece of advice.”
“So, how did everything go ladies?”
“Great! Joshua Scott, where’s your shirt?”
“Mom, we’re gonna go swimming.”
“I see. Have fun.”
“Okay.” We went out to the pool. I slid my capris off.
“Damn girl, you look very nice.” I smiled big at him.
“Thanks! You don’t look too shabby yourself.”
“Sorry that my mom’s here.”
“No worries, she’s really cool. She’s a lot like my mom.” I layed on my back in the lounge chair.
“She likes you.”
“You know this how?”
“Well, when I used to bring girls home, if she liked them, she would hug them. If she didn’t, she would shake their hands.”
“I see said the blindman.”
“Whatever that means.”
“So, do you wanna go out on a date tonight?”
“What about your mom?”
“Oh, she’s just here to make me some food, do my laundry, then go home. She does this once a month.”
“Gotcha. What did you have in mind?”
“I was thinkin, can-wait, it’s a surprise.”
“Oh really?”
“Yeah, I’m gonna sweep you off your feet.”
“Do what you must.” We sat pool side for about half an hour then played in the pool. We came in and had some cookies.
“Mom?” JC called. There was no answer.
“Uh, she’s not here. She went grocery shopping for you.”
“And you know this how?” I held up a piece of paper.
“Oh.” He smiled. He sat down next to me on the couch.
“Give me your feet.”
“What?”
“I owe you a foot massage.”
“True.” I smiled. “Okay, I have a random question.”
“Shoot.”
“What do you think about pre-marital sex?”
“That really was random. Uh, if you really love the person and you know that you’ll spend the rest of your life with them, then I think it’s okay. You?”
“Same.”
“My turn. Are you a virgin.”
“Yes I am. I haven’t found Mr. Perfect, obviously-”
“Hey!”
“You haven’t swept me off my feet yet!”
“Okay, continue.”
“I’m proud of it too. Are you one yourself?”
“Sadly no. I wish I was. And I wish that I knew what had happened to make me think that I was gonna be with Bobbee forever. She was a stinkin gossip columnist for Christ’s sake.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be. I wouldn’t have been able to be with you if I was still with her.”
“You know how to make a girl smile.”
“I know plenty of ways.”
“Oh really?”
“Yeah, I’ll show you some tonight. I want you to go home, and get ready. Dress comfy yet stylish.”
“Okay, but you have to come home with me to get your car.”
“True. Let me leave a note for my mom.” We drove to my house, said a quick good bye and he was gone. He was going to pick me up in an hour and a half so I had some time. I took a leisurely shower, and slowly put my white, denim, halter dress on. It looked way cute on me. I left my hair down and put on a little make up. I slid my white sandals on and still had 30 minutes to wait. I decided to call Joe.
“Hey hey.”
“What’s up Ky?”
“Not much, just waitin for my date to arrive.”
“Oh yea! I know you’re going to love it. It’s perfect for two hopless romantics like you and JC.”
“I don’t know how to take that.”
“Take it as you please, but I must go my dear. Bri is over and we’re spending some QT together.”
“Okay, have fun. Giver her a hug for me.”
“Will do.”
“Ciao.” Well, that didn’t last long. I sat on my bed and thought about my car. I don’t know what it was, but I really liked cars. I don’t know much about them, but I loved makin it look cool. It’s kind of a whole ‘The Fast and the Furious’ kind of thing. Oh well, who really cares. Finally, my doorbell went off. I went flying down the stairs.
“Hello.” I smiled.
“Ready?”
“Yes siree bob!”
“Good, I need you to put this on.” JC said handing me a blind fold. I gave him a quizzical look. “Don’t worry, I’m not taking advantage of anything.”
“Okay.” I said. He tied it on my head and lead me to his car. We drove and drove, I couldn’t figure out where we were going. We didn’t take the route to JC’s house or the compound, so I was totally confused.
“Alright, we’re here, but leave the blindfold on.”
“Okay.” He lead me somewhere with my curiosity growing.
“Are you ready for your surprise?”
“More than you could imagine.”
“Okay, take off your blindfold.” I took it off and gasped at the breathtaking view. We were indeed at JC’s house. He had put floating candles in the pool, and there were candles scattered about. There was a table with a single candle and two plates set at it. “What do you think?”
“I say your doing a good job at sweeping me off my feet.” I smiled.
“Wonderful, right this way.” He lead me to the table.
“It’s beautiful.”
“Thanks. Oh! These are for you!” He said pulling flowers out from under the table. It was a dozen multi-colored tulips.
“I love tulips.”
“You’ll have to thank Joey for that one.”
“I will.”
“Okay, I didn’t cook because I didn’t want to scare you away yet, and I only cook on special occasions, so I oredered take out. I hope chinese is okay?”
“It sounds wonderful.” We talked over dinner. I really got to see into the real JC-not show biz JC. He is a wonderful man. Sweet, intelligent, kind and he fits Mr. Perfect to a ‘T’.
“Okay, wait right here. I need to go set up the next surprise.”
“I won’t move.” I winked. He walked off to somewhere in his back yard. A few minutes later he came to get me. He lead me to a blanket in the middle of nowhere.
“Lay down.”
“Wha?”
“Lay down.” He smiled. I started to lay down and he laid next to me. “I do this all the time. I like to come out here and look at the stars. It’s a soothing thing to me when life gets stressed out.”
“It’s beautiful.” I said. He rolled on his side and faced me. He propped his head up on his right hand.
“Do you believe in love at first sight?”
“Not really. Maybe attraction at first sight, because you never talked to the person, so really your only attracted to their looks. How about you?”
“I don’t, but if I did, I would be a happy man.”
“Oh really?”
“I would at least hope to be a happy man.”
“I know how to make you happy.”
“There’s more than one way.”
“I’m sure there is, but I’m likin’ the way I’m thinking now.”
“Care to demonstrate it?”
“Close your eyes and lay on your back.”
“Okay.” He did as he was told. I stradled his stomach area and leaned over to kiss him. He put his hands on my lower back and put pressure, as if to tell me to not stop. I pulled away for a minute.
“Are you happy yet?”
“You are a tease.”
“You could always get me back.”
“That sounds good to me.” He said. He forced me onto my back. He put one knee between my legs and the other on the left side. He brought his lips to mine. He pulled back for some air.
“Dirty thoughts are running through my head.”
“I think we’re sharing the same mind then.”
“I so want to, but I can’t. It’s too soon.”
“I’m not pressuring you. I want it too, but I agree, it’s too soon.” He smiled. “Maybe tomorrow.”
“Shut up!” I laughed. I tried to push him off me, but he pinned my hands above my head.
“I really love these compromising positions.”
“I’m sure you do.”
“Oh! I have one more surprise if you want it. I noticed that Chester doesn’t have a play mate. So, I was thinking that tomorrow we go and pick out a play mate that he can play with.”
“I’m gonna get a new puppy?!”
“You pick and I’ll buy.”
“Chester loves you already.”
“Well at least I have the approval of the dog.”
“What kind should we get?” I asked.
“Well, I thought I saw a mini Chester at the mall, but it was a girl.”
“That’s perfect! If it was another male, the would rip each other to shreds.”
“Good thinkin.”
“Ooo! I’m so excited. We’re gonna have to bring Chester with us.”
“He can’t come in the mall.”
“He can if he’s a seeing eye dog.”
“How are you going to pull that off?”
“Well, my aunt used to train dogs and they had litlle covers that said: I’m in training.” I smiled. “I use it whenever Chester needs to go for a ride.”
“You let him ride in the Eclipse?”
“Yeah, I lay out a couple of towels for him and he’s fine. He’s very well trained.”
“Alright, it’s settled then. We’ll go doggie shopping tomorrow.
“Yay!” I said and hugged JC.
“Wow, if you get this excited over a puppy, I wonder how excited you’ll get about
other things.”
“It’s tough to say. Puppies are my weakness.”
“I see.”
“Said the blind man.”
“I still don’t get it.”
“I’ll explain later.”
A couple hours later, JC drove me back to my house. “I’ll get you at 11 tomorrow, k?”
“Sounds great.”
“Wonderful. Have a great night.”
“You too.” I smiled. We shared a wonderful, yet simple kiss.
“Bye.” He said. I waved as he walked down the walk way. I walked into my house. I have to call Joe. Hmmm...mindnight. He won’t care. I dialed the memorized number.
“I knew you would be calling.”
“Well, hello to you too.”
“Hi. How was everything?”
“Joe, you sound like a giddy school girl.”
“No, I don’t.”
“Yes, you do.”
“I’m not gonna argue.”
“That’s cause you know I’m right.”
“Just tell me how everything went.”
“Well, it was wonderful. It was the most romantic thing in my life.”
“I do believe that’s what he was aiming for.”
“Well, he accomplished his mission.”
“Glad to hear it.”
“Can I just vent on you? I really don’t have any girl friends. You and the guys are my only friends.”
“What about the eleven girls we just hired?”
“They’re only nice to me cause, one, I’m their boss, and two, they are with NSYNC. Who would give that up? Especially girls, becuase if they’re the rigth age, then their could possibly be relationships. An-”
“Okay, I get the picture. Talk my ear off.”
“Thanks. He is the sweetest, most romantic guy in the world. He’s...he’s... undescribable. I just had the best time knowing that he was next to me. We weren’t touching, we weren’t talking, we were just looking at the stars. It was perfect. I have a good feeling about him.”
“Let me ask you this. In the last 6 years, were you in love?”
“Obviously not because I didn’t tell you about anyone.”
“Very true.”
“Joe, you’re my best friend and big brother. I can come to you about anything and I know you won’t judge me.”
“Thanks, that means a lot to me.”
“Good, but I’m beat.”
“Yeah, Bri will be up in a few hours and I need my beauty rest.”
“Joe?”
“Yeah?”
“You’ll need a few years of beauty rest for any significant difference.”
“Kiss my ass.”
“No, but I’ll talk to ya later.”
“Alright, bye.”
“Bye.” I hung up the phone and went to bed.
