New York was simply amazing! There was no place like in the world.
Justin took Kristina to this very sophisticated restaurant that
closed only for the two of them. It was too much but Justin wanted
them to be alone together. Kristina felt a little uncomfortable but
hey it was different. He told her all about his trip and all the
places that they visited. He even brought pictures! She could only
wish that she had tall tales to tell him but her life really only
consisted of school and work, work and school. She saw a few movies,
went to a few festivals at Hart Plaza. Of course that made her think
of him because the General Motors building or Renaissance center as
most Detroiters called it was right next door and that made her think
of the time he came to visit. After dinner they considered living up
the party life but it boiled down to the fact that they just wanted
to be alone together. Tomorrow would be nothing but practice for the
VMA's and the last day they had would be the awards. So they decided
to go back to the hotel and just talk, be with each other alone. They
talked so much that they fell off to sleep talking. The next morning
was just as beautiful. The sun peered in on the two of them that
early august morning. Breakfast was awesome, even though Justin
thought her eggs were better.
"Oh la la, has New York City done something to ya?"
"What are you talking about?"
"The outfit." Kristina looked at the outfit she had on. She wore her
Piston's jersey that was spruced up a little by her friend Genevieve
who was going into fashion. It was made a little tighter and shredded
at the bottom. She wore it with some white shorts and some strappy
heel sandals.
"Hey I don't wear tee-shirts and sweats all the time."
"I know, I know. Hey look I have to go ok? Run some errands and
whatnot."
"Alright, well I'll be here." Justin blew out a sigh of relief.
"Alright, I'll see you later."
"Ok bye babe."
"Bye" Justin gave her a kiss before leaving out to J.C.'s room. Just
his luck, Chris, J.C. and Joey were in the room. "Just the guys I
want to see."
"What's up?"
"Look I'm going out to get something for Kristina, like an
anniversary thing but I don't want her to see it. Can you guys make
sure you keep her here?"
"Yeah sure man."
"If I know you like I think I do she should be knocked out after last
night" Chris laughed. Actually they all did but Justin.
"Um about that, there's something I have to tell you guys."
"What?"
"Its about me and Kristina, we um never have."
"Never have what?"
"Never had sex." The whole room grew silent, he never what?! How was
that possible?!
"Dude you're joking right?"
"No, not at all. She um, she wants to wait until she's married."
"Isn't that the same thing Brit said?"
"Yeah but she's different."
"So you mean to tell me out of the 5 months you two have been
together you haven't @#%$? Not even once?"
"Nope."
"Man that's real love."
"You're right I do love her but I gotta go, so will you watch out for
her?"
"Yeah, yeah."
"Alright thanks." Justin hurried from the room and left the rest of
the guys still stunned. Another knock on their door startled them.
"Ju--hey Kristina."
"Hey guys ya busy?"
"No not at all."
"Well then lets go do something! I mean this is going to probably be
the only time I come to NYC. Don't they have tours and stuff?" Each
guy looked at one another. Justin specifically asked for her not to
be out and around while he went to get her present.
"Actually we're kind of tired from the tour and whatnot so we're just
going to hit the hay."
"Right I'm sorry, well um…I could go out by myself."
"NO!" they screamed in unison.
"Why don't you go and get some rest, Ash and Dez will be here later
and they're going to want to go out, need your rest right?" Chris
said.
"Yeah you're right, well if you need me, I'll be across the hall."
"Alright." Kristina closed the door and left.
"That was close huh?"
{If those guys think that I'm just going back to my room they have
another thought coming} Kristina began to walk down the hall but one
of their security guards stopped her.
"Where you going Tina?"
"Oh just down the gift shop." He raised his eyebrow. "Seriously, I'll
be back" she smiled. Damn her and that smile, it could make your
tooth hurt. Hopping on the elevator she made it downstairs and ran
into Lance. "Lancelot, my man!"
"Hey KT, what up?"
"Nothing, nothing, just being bored."
"Being bored, what Justin being here?"
"Well he's not. He had to go run and do some errands or something,
but I have nothing to do. I'm sick of watching movies, so I was
wondering if maybe you and I could go out, check out the sights and
sounds of NYC?"
"Um yeah sure let me go get my coat."
"No, no, no its too warm for a coat, come on, let the sunshine toast
your skin."
"Don't you know that's bad for you?"
"Hey we barely get sun in Michigan, bring it on."
"Alright let's go." Lance and Kristina left out of the Hilton hotel
and graced the streets of New York City. She thought she was
mesmerized last night by the lights but the daytime was even more
amazing. There were people everywhere. Billboards were like eye candy
and a vendor on almost every corner. Trying one of the NYC redhots
nearly killed her. Lance showed her the MTV studios, NBC and every
other famous site while they sat on the tour bus. She had her first
subway ride which reminded her of the people mover back home (Its
kind of like the subway except its up in the sky and its only
downtown). They even went shopping. She found the perfect gift for
Justin. A custom made Memphis Grizzlies basketball jersey with his
name on the back. And then they stopped by the Virgin Megastore which
was just ear candy for the two.
"I love this song!" That played above them. Kristina began to recite
the lyrics to the old Lil' Kim and P.Diddy song No time.
"….and the quickie, gimme your loot
Your Mac-11 then shoot
Your game ain't sweet, John Paul peeps
shouldn't compete, if you can't wet it, forget it
Don't sweat it, I bet it'd
make ya @#%$ smooth if you let it
Huh, you can't stop a @#%$ from ballin
Ha-ha to la-la to drive-by's they be callin, and you ain't know
While you be kickin that old @#%$
we makin hits
Platinum and gold @#%$
I stay draped in diamonds and pearls
Beside every man is a Bad Girl."
Lance odd to say was impressed. She just seemed to be multifaceted.
She could be a sweetheart, a friend, sports freak, dancer, rapper,
singer, little sister all wrapped in one. He could see why Justin
fell in love with her. With their time together he could already see
her as a friend. Now if he could only get a girl like that.
"Look I'm sure she's extremely bored over there, how about we all
like go down to the gym or something?"
"Yeah alright." Chris got up and walked over to her door. He knocked
a few times but no one answer. "Kris? Krissy you in there?"
"She said she was going to the gift shop after she left from your
room."
"Rick, that was 2 hours ago!" Chris ran back into the room. "She's
gone!"
"What?"
"She's not in her room, Rick said she went to the gift shop when she
left out of her, but that was like 2 and a half hours ago!"
"Oh @#%$! Justin is going to freak."
"Freak about what?" Justin asked standing at the door. All the color
drained from their faces. This was not going to be good.
"Uh…." J.C. looked around. Lance wasn't there with them. She had to
be with him. "How um, how…."
"How Lance just sung Kristina right to sleep."
"He what?!"
"Yeah well she was a little restless and Lance crooned her to sleep?"
Even Joey couldn't believe that story that he was giving off himself.
Slowly J.C. slid out of the room while Chris and Joey finished their
story. Justin felt a little bit of jealousy, why was Lance in their
room? Singing to her?
"Boy I tells ya, a girl could get used to a town like this."
"So you'd leave Detroit?"
"I can almost say yes."
"THERE YOU ARE!!" Lance and Kristina looked at J.C. in confusion. He
was huffing and puffing towards them like The Hulk.
"What's going on?" Lance asked.
"What's going on? Justin wanted you to stay here while he ran some
errands and you left anyways with Lance! Now he's here and Joey and
Chris is giving off some bull plop story to cover for you."
"Wait he didn't want me to leave?"
"No, that's why we tried to talk you into trying to stay in the room."
"@#%$."
"We said that Lance sung you to sleep."
"What? You know Justin is going to flip!"
"Gotta better solution?"
"Ok, ok, we have to get up there fast."
"Come on lets go." The three ran upstairs to her room easing Kristina
into her and Justin's room. If he saw her with those bags he'd know
for sure that he'd know that she was out. So she passed her bags over
to him and jumped into the bed. Almost instantly Justin popped out of
the room when lance stepped out with the bags in hand.
"Lance" Justin growled.
"Hey man."
"Hey yourself, what's up with all the bags?"
"Went shopping."
"What ya get?" You could cut the tension between the two with a
knife. Justin's eyes bore into Lance's. Boy if there was a hole to
climb into now was the time. Lance slid the bags behind him that were
obviously for Justin from Kristina.
"Oh nothing a few cds."
"Yeah, what kind?"
"Oh some Lil' Kim, Wu Tang Clan, Atomic Kitten, White Stripes and um,
Beenie Man." What? That didn't sound like Lance at all.
"Since when have you been listening to Wu Tang?"
"I happen to love them when they were with old doggy boy." J.C. just
winced. Old doggy boy? Didn't he mean old dirty @#%$? "Besides I'm
broadening my horizons."
"Riiiiggghhhtt, well if Kristina is needs someone then you call me."
He gave Lance this look that made his hair shake. Justin wanted to be
mad at her as well but when he walked in she was sleeping so
peacefully, like an angel. But then how would he resist kissing her?
Justin's kisses `woke' Kristina up.
"Hey babe" she smiled.
"Hey, how are ya?"
"I'm good, what time is it?"
"Almost 4, we're going to go to practice soon, you wanna come with?"
"Of course I do." Kristina gave off a fake yawn and stretch before
getting out of the bed and grabbing her shoes.
"So what did you do while I was gone?"
"I watched some t.v. ate, no biggie."
"That's it? No company?" Oh yeah the whole Lance thing.
"Um yeah, well Lance came over for a sec. He talked a little about
you, how much I love you and stuff. I do believe that I am doing
total overkill with my love for you with them." That made Justin feel
a little better knowing that they talked about him. "He actually sung
me to sleep so I could stop talking about us" she laughed. Ok maybe
she shouldn't have said anything because Justin's face turned so
fast.
"Sung to you?"
"Its nothing major, he sung rainbow connection."
"Rainbow connection?"
"You know, the Kermit the frog song?"
"Um, ok." Now that sounded like Lance, not Wu Tang Clan with old
doggy boy.
"I'm ready."
"Alrighty." Justin and Kristina walked over to the other room to see
if they others were ready. Lance and Kristina looked at each other
oddly. They wanted to bust out and laugh but had to keep it together
for the sake of Justin keeping his eye on Lance. Kristina pulled out
her phone and sent Lance a text.
::Hey if he asked, you sung Rainbow Connection::
::Gotcha::
"Alright guys lets go."
Kristina watched the guys go do the steps over and over again with
the moves. Her jealously about another girl perhaps wasn't as bad as
Justin's with the whole Lance thing. There were dancers dancing up
against Justin but she was the least bit phased. They all introduced
her to the dancers before hand and most of them were dating each
other or people back home, wherever home was. The one girl dancing
closer to Justin, Baptista was from Southfield, a suburb from Detroit
so they automatically had a connection.
"Hey girl!"
"Hey guys!" Kristina was so happy to see Dez and Ash. The friends all
hugged each other which put a smile on the guys faces. Ash and Dez
flew out from California to be with their men for the VMA's. They
walked over to give them their proper hello's before letting them get
back to their work.
"So where's Candy?"
"Did Joey tell you? They broke up."
"What? That sucks."
"Not really, she was just in it for the moolah."
"Well then good riddance! I didn't like her anyways" Kristina
laughed. They continued to talk all the way back to the hotel. They
guys were in the room across the hall and the girls were in Justin's
and Kristina's.
"So you know we have to get up early to go shopping for dresses."
"Go shopping? I already bought a dress."
"Really, let's see." Kristina got up and pulled out the little pink
skirt and shirt.
"Are you kidding me? You can't wear that to the VMA's!!"
"Why not? Its cute!"
"Its middle school."
"Hey!"
"Kristina, come on, they sexy sexy are at the VMA's. You can't wear
that."
"We're getting new dresses end of story."
"Guys come on!"
"Don't guys us, we're getting new dresses, period!"
