Kristina had literally been at the airport since she woke up. Justin
got a room for her at the Hilton in Manhattan for her to stay in.
With much and I mean much convincing he got her to come to New York
to be with him at the VMA's. As much as she was dying to see him, she
still had obligations back home like school and work. But with
Krystal's note taking and another freebie from N*sync to her boss,
she hit up Metro airport and headed to JFK. The night was hard on
both of them. They couldn't wait to get to each other and come 9 in
the morning they'd see each other for the first time since early may.
If Kristina yawned one more time, she'd stab herself. She tried to
keep herself away with Pepsi's, magazines and music but nothing was
working. She'd hate to fall off to sleep before they got there. Their
flight was supposed to land around 9 and it was 8:45. Victoria
Beckham blasted through her headphones. It seemed as if the words
were written just for her and Justin. That put a smile on her face,
could they possibly have another song?
You could give me diamonds
You could give me pearls
Give me all the fast cars
In the world
But there is only one thing
And it's bigger than the sea
The only thing that matters
Is what you've given me
And I say
When I see the bright lights in your eyes
Feel like a bird that's just learned to fly
From now until the end of time
I'm glad you came into my life
My gift sent from above
Unconditional love
Kristina kept her eyes on the gate in which the guys would be coming
from. Slowly people started coming through. Her heart began to pitter
patter, that was a sure sign that Justin was on his way. She moved up
from the seat to get a better view everyone coming from the gate.
There were a few people that came out, mostly older, then those eyes
connected with her and it was over. Standing wasn't enough she had to
go to him.
You take me as I am
Not who I'm dressed up to be
Looking at you tells me
The best things in life are free
You're the blessing that I treasure
With heart so true
No one ever touched me
The way that you do
And I say
When I see the bright lights in your eyes
Feel like a bird that's just learned to fly
From now until the end of time
I'm glad you came into my life
My gift sent from above
Unconditional love
They moved closer and closer, almost speed walking but that still
wasn't enough. They began to run to each other throwing their bags to
the ground not caring what was to happen to them. They just wanted to
hold each other. At the moment that was all that mattered. Kristina
ripped her headphones off but she still knew what was left of the
song and it still all spoke so true for the two of them.
With your innocence you opened up my heart
I knew that I would love you right from the very start
You turned my life around showed me a better way
Thoughts of you will always make me have a brighter day
When I'm by your side it helps to see me through
Can't express all the happiness when I'm with you
A gift from up above the one I'm dreaming of
I'll always cherish you my unconditional love
When I see the bright lights in your eyes
Feel like a bird that's just learned to fly
From now until the end of time
I'm glad you came into my life (I'm glad you came into my life)
My gift sent from above
Unconditional love
Kristina jumped into his arms. They held on each other as if they'd
never hold each other again. She could've swore she heard him
laughing from joy just being with her. Justin could feel her warm
tears falling on his neck.
"This better not be a dream" she sighed in the crook of his neck.
"Its not babe, I'm here. I'm here." Kristina moved down and pulled
him in for a kiss so steamy that the other guys wished their
girlfriends were there so they could get the same treatment. Both
forgot that they were in public. They were just too happy to see one
another. Their tongues fought for control of one another while their
hands were just all over the place.
"You might want to slow it down some before the NYPD comes and haul
you two off for something embarrassing." Kristina and Justin pulled
away and laughed.
"This is the best day of my life."
"Mine too."
"Good to see you too Kristina, so do we all get a kiss?" Joey asked.
"You mean on the cheek?"
"Meh, I'll take what I can get." Kristina gave each guy a peck on the
cheek.
"If I didn't like you, I'd kill you" Chris joked.
"Why?"
"Because this boy has drove us crazy with that damn song by Nick
Carter."
"He listened to it everyday almost 5 times each."
"Aw that's so sweet!" she sung. See Justin knew she wasn't going to
be against it. "Don't worry I did the same thing, had to even go get
a new one."
"Oh gawd, is this what the next three days are going to be like?"
"You bet."
******************
"I love your hair like this."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah." Kristina couldn't stop putting her hands through his hair.
Last time she saw him it was shaven completely down and now it was a
little more filled out, a sandy brown and he grew his goatee out to a
beard which she thought was incredibly sexy. She liked the way it
felt against her cheek when she kissed him.
"I wanna take you out."
"You don't have to do that."
"But I want to, tonight is about us. I want to do this, let me." She
wasn't going to get him to change his mind.
"Ok, but I need to get some sleep first. I didn't go to bed last
night."
"Neither did I, come on lay down."
"I am laying down."
"I mean on me."
"No."
"No?"
"No, you lay down." It finally clicked. Justin laid down on
Kristina's chest and slowly along with her drifted off to sleep. For
the first time he feel to sleep in her arms and for the first time in
3 months he felt complete. Four hours later they woke up around 2.
"I'm gonna take a shower ok?"
"Alright." Kristina got off the bed and hopped in the shower. How was
it that she was only away from him for 6 minutes and she already
missed him? He was in the other room for goodness sake! Still that
wasn't good enough. But something was off, where were the towels?
There were some in there when she walked in.
"Babe?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you hand me a towel?"
"No can do."
"Huh?"
"You have to come out and get it."
"What?"
"You gotta come get it, don't be afraid."
"You're kidding right?" Kristina poked her head out of the shower.
Justin was indeed standing but in the living room holding all the
towels.
"Nope" he smiled.
"Justin I can't do that!"
"Sure you can, remember what I said about not being nervous?"
"That was different."
"Why because it was me?"
"Uh, yeah! You have way more confidence in your body than I do."
"Why don't you have confidence in yours? I think you have a great
body."
"Ugh."
"Fine, then I guess you'll just be in there forever."
"Justin stop playing!"
"I'm not, I'm dead seirous. I don't want you to be nervous around me
and that includes being nude." Justin noted that she wasn't moving.
"Alright suit yourself." Justin walked away. Her mouth was wide open,
how could he do that to her! How was she going to get out of that
one?! She was just going to have to do it and then he'd just confirm
what she always thought. That she was fat. Sure everyone told her
that no, you're skinny!! But she always thought she could be smaller.
Oh well she'd hear it from him now. With her eyes closed tight she
walked out of the shower and walked to the living room trying her
best to cover herself.
"Justin please?" her eyes were still closed. She could feel him
trying to move her arms but she wasn't budging.
"Don't fight me." Another deep breath, she laid her arms down to her
sides but her eyes were still closed. "Open your eyes." She opened
her right one first. "And the other." Then the left. "See now was
that so bad?"
"My heart is beating so fast." Justin placed his hand against her
chest. She was right it was.
"Don't be scared." Justin grabbed the towel and wrapped it around
her. He felt her pulse again and it began to slow down. "I don't want
you to be nervous or scared around me, ever ok?"
"I'll try."
"You do that" he smiled before kissing her on the cheek. "By the way
nice tattoo." Kristina was confused, her tattoo, the Detroit D (If
you don't know what that is, its just basically an old English
capital D) on the lower right side of her back, how'd he see
that? "What you didn't expect me to not look at your ass?"
"JUSTIN!"
"Its nice by the way."
