CHAPTER 11
"Your boy, Jerry, called here. He wants to introduce us to some people the day after tomorrow."
"What's the day after tomorrow?" Laura said as she continued to type on her laptop.
"Its the awards ceremony, duffus."
"Ooooh...Sorry I had forgotten it was this week."
"Damn...I forgot to tell you that I got you a seat with me and the guys."
Laura stopped typing. "I was going to sit with Rachel and Jerry during it."
"Why?" JC asked.
"I just don't want people to think I'm your date."
"Why does it seem like our roles are reversed here? JC said as he put the newspaper down on the coffee table.
"What do you mean?" Laura asked.
"I'm trying my best to make an effort to make this work. Bend over backwards to please you and make sure that things are Okay for you and I get nothing in return!"
"First of all, it's give and take. We both are making sacrifices here. You are not the only one. And second of all...It's not just that...I don't want people to think I am dating any of you. Because I could just sit next to Chris, Joey, Lance, or Justin...I just don't want to be cast as dating any of you. It causes too much chaos. I mean someone could see you or any of the guys with a glass of water in your hand and the very next morning plastered all over the papers, TV and net there is a story about how you are alcoholics."
JC choked on his drink trying not to laugh. "I get where you are coming from, but I just get tired of having to hide things anymore."
"Yeah I know, but--"
"Oh my goodness look how big he's gotten!" JC interrupted as he rushed to the front door to help Rachel carry in a young toddler and 2 baby bags along with a stroller.
"Take him for me would you?'
"Of course."
Laura watched JC as he took the baby from Rachel's arms along with the two bags. She could see how content and happy he was and slightly smiled before looking over at Rachel with concern. Rachel nodded her head in recognition.
"How old is he now? One?"
"Yeah, last month we had a little party for him. He stuffed his hand into the cake before I could get pictures of it." Rachel laughed. There was chocolate everywhere. All over his face, in his hair, and somehow in his diaper."
JC laughed as he bounced the baby up and down gently. "Nikolas, you and me are going to have to start hanging out more. With our looks combined, we could have our pick of a lot of fly hunnies." JC joked. The baby immediately began giggling and putting his hands out towards JC's face. JC brought the baby closer to his face and nibbled on his tiny fingers lightly. "His eyes are crystal blue."
Laura quickly shot Rachel a look of concern. Rachel hesitated slightly, "Yeah I know."
"Nobody in your family has blue eyes." JC looked up towards the ceiling as he ran her families faces through his mind.
"No one in my immediate family but it could be from back in the gene pool somewhere."
"Either that or Jerry's family." Laura quickly added.
"You wanna play with Buddy? Can he play with the dog?"
"Sure."
"What's up, Nik?" JC asked as he looked at the baby's face. "Um, why is he making that face and grunting...Oh good God!" JC said as he moved his face away. "Whew...I think you need to go to your mommy or auntie now. This is uncle JC's stop."
Laura walked over and took the baby from JC. "Don't ever grow up to be like that." Laura joked. JC lightly poked her in her side. "I'm going to get Buddy. I'll be right back."
"Okay." Laura said as she leaned her head out and quickly stopped. She almost leaned to kiss him and caught herself. JC looked at her and smirked. "See I told you."
"Told her what?" Rachel asked feeling left out.
Laura shot JC a look. "Nothing...It's one of those, you had to be there, jokes."
"Oh." Rachel watched the two of them with her son. She leaned up to get the baby, but Laura said she would take care of it. She lightly laid the baby down on the changing pad on the floor and began to change his diaper. "So when are you going to tell him?"
"I wasn't planning on telling him at all." Rachel said as she handed Laura a box of wipes.
"Rachel...."
"Why does he need to know?" she asked as she handed her a diaper.
"Why wouldn't he need to know!?"
"Do you think it would make things any better?"
"Hiding it sure as hell won't help."
"If not for him, at least for Nikky, Rachel. I mean come on now."
Don't sit there and dictate to me like you are miss high and mighty Lauren Alexandria Charles. You've known as long as I have and I don't see you telling him the truth!"
"You asked me not to. I keep my promises to my friends. No matter how much I don't want to." Laura set her small keyboard down on the floor and placed Nikolas in front of it. He quickly began to bang on the keys, becoming more and more excited with each noise he made. Laura could see JC walking towards the back door with Buddy in his arms.
"Look all I am saying is that he needs to know. For his own sake and for Nikky's.
"Hey look who I got, Nik." JC said as he walked in and placed the puppy in front of Nikolas. Nikolas didn't know how to react to the animal. Buddy began to sniff the baby all over and then started to lick him. Nikolas then started to giggle and began to crawl around the room chasing after the puppy's every move.
JC sat on the floor, completely mesmerized. "He's adorable, Rachel."
Thanks." she smiled secretly watching him as he watched her son.
"Just a shame." JC muttered to himself.
"Huh?" Rachel asked.
"Huh? Oh nothing." JC said as he got up from floor and sat on the couch. JC continued to watch the baby and thought to himself that it was shame that Nikolas wasn't his son. Laura watched him and had wondered to herself why he had said what he said, but soon brushed it off and went back to talking to Rachel about plans for the ceremony.
CHAPTER 12
Later that evening JC and Laura were working downstairs in his home studio. They were both sitting at the piano struggling to figure out the melody for a song she had just begun writing.
"Its got a really nice slow beat. I got it started off in my head here. He is going to sing this part." Laura pointed out the section with her pencil as she slowly keyed on the piano with her free hand, "How do you keep the music playing...How do you make it last...How do you keep the song from fading...Too fast..."
Now I want violins to slowly start to come in when she comes in with her verse. "How do you lose yourself to someone...And never lose your way...How do you not run out of new things...to say." she slowly sang. Laura looked towards JC for feedback and noticed he was staring at her and not paying attention to the lyrics in front of him. "What?"
"I just love to watch you when you sing...I just love watching you period." he smiled as he moved her hair back off her shoulder and lightly kissed it.
She could feel her face slowly turning red. "Come on, JC."
"Okay, I know how you hate getting compliments."
"I don't hate getting compliments. I just feel awkward when I get them."
"Well you shouldn't." He kissed her neck.
A chill ran up her back when his lips touched her skin. "You seemed to really enjoy it when Nikky was here earlier."
"Yeah I did. I love kids." He paused and looked over at Laura with curiosity in his eyes, "How many do you plan on having when you get married?"
"I don't know...I never really thought about it till now." Laura replied.
"You never thought about having kids?"
"I've thought about it, but I would always come to the conclusion that I wouldn't want them to be more screwed up than me." she joked.
"I'm serious." he said as he slowly began to play the beginning chords.
"Maybe one of each. It all depends on my husband and what he wants."
"Well, I can tell you right now that I want a boy and girl. Not necessarily in that order. Whatever you come out with first would be fine." he joked.
"So confident that I would actually marry you someday huh?"
"You'd probably marry me and then only wear your wedding ring when no one else was around." he said sarcastically.
"Funny." she said as she lightly punched his arm. "Okay so back to this song, JC. After their first two verses, it should start off with the bass and then a slow tap on the drums…" Laura could feel JC's arms inching their way around her waist. Hey buddy! I'm trying to work here! Cut that out!"
JC laughed and shook his head, leaning back. "What am I supposed to play with while you're playing with my piano?" he asked.
"You're suppose to be working too you know."
"We've been in here for almost 9 hours, baby. My attention span is gone. I need a break."
"Oh my God...JC Chasez needing a break from music? What the hell is the world coming to!?" she gasped.
He pushed her gently as they walked out of the studio and down the hallway towards the sitting room. "Damn I forgot to turn the air off...You cold?"
"A little."
"Want one of my sweaters to wear while it warms up?"
"Yeah."
JC went to stand up but Laura stopped him. "I'll get it--amuse yourself while I'm gone."
She smiled and stepped into the bedroom, closing the door behind her. She leaned her back against the door. Thoughts of how JC had interacted with the baby kept running through her head. How could she not tell him? How would he react if he found out the truth. Laura thought about how much of a hypocrite she was. She had gotten so angry with JC for keeping his meeting with Rachel a secret and here she was keeping this huge secret from him. But it wasn't her secret to tell. It wasn't any of her business. Or was it. She needed to tell him. He needed to know. But how could she betray one friend for another? How could she lie to the man she loves. Well technically she wasn't lying, she thought to herself. He'd never asked the right questions, so she never lied.
"Find anything interesting yet?" he called from outside the door.
JC's voice startled her from her thoughts. "Ummm, working on it," she said, moving away from the door.
She heard him laugh and moving around -- then suddenly soft music began to play. "I thought you could use some mood music," he commented, leaning against the door and wondering exactly what she was doing.
And what were all those snide remarks he made in the studio about her only wearing a wedding ring when they were along. She could tell that his patience with her wanting to keep their relationship a secret was growing thin. She wanted to do something special. She had to do something to ease his fears. Tonight she would be the seductress. He was usually the one to make the first move with her and she wanted to show him that she could be seductive.
Laura soon found a white, long sleeved, button up shirt and held it up to look at it. Smiling, she wondered which plan in her head she was going to follow. The feeling of his arms around her and his lips against her neck while she was playing came back to her and she started pulling off her sun dress. She hung it up and then quickly removed her panties and bra before she lost all the courage to make the first move and try and surprise him. Slipping into the shirt, her shaking fingers struggled with the buttons. She rolled up the sleeves, feeling the shirttails hanging down around her thighs.
"I poured you some wine," he said as he dimmed the lights.
"Wonderful, thanks," she replied, looking in his mirror and trying to straighten out her hair. She put the collar up on the shirt and at the last minute, undid the button that was right over her breasts.
"Need any help in there?"
Laura took a deep breath and opened the door. She smiled at him and watched his jaw drop.
"Well look at you, missy."
"What?" Laura asked, trying not to feel self-conscious.
"Now why can't I get that shirt to look that good on me?"
"You don't have the tits for it I guess." she boldly stated.
"Yeah well you surely do." JC smiled. "So what's making you suddenly want to entice me? You know you already do that everyday of the week."
"Well I wanted to try and be bolder for once...Make the first move so to speak. You're the one always initiating...I think I need to try and reverse our roles for once."
"Well reverse away, my love."
"Would you like to dance?" she asked.
"Yeah let me just pull down the shades."
"Leave them."
"Excuse me?" he was shocked at her words.
"Just leave them. I don't think anyone will be up at 3am snooping."
"Just remember that you told me that. I don't want you getting upset later."
Laura laughed and pulled him closer to her body, entwining his fingers through hers. As they swayed slowly, she pressed her cheek against his, sighing softly in his ear. As he rubbed her back, the shirt moved up and down and JC groaned softly when her back was pointed to a mirror panel beside the couch and he caught a glimpse of the tops of her thighs.
"Are you okay?" she asked, leaning back to look at him grinning.
"Oh yeah," he said trying to control himself. He wanted to grab her ass but wanted to let her make the first move.
She smiled and moved her head forward and kissed him softly, tasting the sweetness of his lips. The kiss started softly and became more passionate; their lips pressing harder as their mouths parted and tongues explored. She let go of his hand and pushed hers through his hair, pulling his mouth harder against her own. His mouth devoured hers as her body melted against his. They pulled away to catch their breath and stare at each other.
He cupped her face, stroking her cheeks with his thumbs. "You have no idea what you do to me," he whispered softly before pulling her back to kiss her again. His tongue traced over her lips, flicking at the corners of her mouth before he sucked on her bottom lip. Laura's grip around his waist tightened as his tongue moved into her mouth and stroked hers. Her body moved against his, still swaying slightly only not to the music anymore, but to the music their bodies had started to play.
The shrill sound of his cell phone stopped the kiss and he pulled back, releasing her. "Don't answer it."
"I have to, baby." he explained as he left her standing there, panting slightly.
"This better be damned important," he said into the receiver, smiling at her as he listened to the voice on the other end. "Could we discuss this tomorrow or something, Joey?" Laura went back to her wineglass and his eyes followed her. "Well I'm kind of busy right now." She sat on the couch and slowly crossed her legs. The shirt slowly crept up her thighs and JC's eyes followed its journey, mesmerized by what it was revealing. "....Yah, I'm still here. Listen Joey, I love you man, but I have to tell you, you're wrecking my social life."
He watched Laura dip her finger into her wine and then bring her finger to her mouth, sucking on it. JC felt his cock stirring. "Dude, go ask Justin!" he said and turned the phone off, tossing it back onto the counter. He returned and sat next to her on the couch.
"Joey wanted someone to ramble to about his new fatherly issues he is dealing with."
"A lot of baby talk today huh?"
"Yeah...I want a baby," he said softly, touching her face.
Laura almost spit out her wine. "Whoa...Huh?"
CHAPTER 13
"Not now silly...But later on in life...With you."
"How are you so sure we will even be together that long?"
"I just do."
"I'm sure you'd be a great dad."
His hand moved up her calf lightly, "I hope so...Now as far as great friend, I would have to argue with you about tonight. I just hung up on my best friend because all I could think about was making love to you."
Her arms tightened around his neck and she pulled him down, half on top of her. As they kissed passionately, his hand moved up over her bare hip, stroking her soft skin. Her body arched as he released her lips and started kissing down her neck, sucking on her skin softly. Slowly his hand moved up her side, over her ribs until his thumb brushed against the underside of her breast. He tried to move but found himself trapped in an awkward position. "I do have a bed you know...Well three if you count the guest bedrooms," he said as his thumb moved up and made contact with her erect nipple.
JC stood up and put his arm out towards her. Laura stood up and starred deep into his eyes. JC quickly forgot about the bed. Leaning down he kissed her chest as his fingers worked on the buttons of her shirt. He licked between her breasts as he pushed the shirt back, revealing her body to him. He kissed the gentle swell of her breast, taking the time to lick her skin everywhere. His tongue circled her puffy nipple and her back arched. He felt her fingers pushing back though his hair, pulling his mouth harder against her as he continued to trace it with his tongue. Gently, he sucked it into his mouth and listened to her soft moans, feeling them wash through his body. Sucking in, he pulled his head back and teased the tip of her nipple with his tongue. He loved the way her body arched as his hand moved down over her stomach, touching every available inch of her skin. Her fingernails scratched the back of his neck as his fingers slid down over her hip to her thigh and then slowly ventured in between her legs, stroking her inner thigh with the lightest of touches.
Laura raised her hips, trying to move his fingers closer to where she ached for them. Trying to concentrate, she moved her hands down his back as far as she could and started pulling at his shirt. She managed to pull it out of his jeans and up to his shoulders before she had to stop. His thumb was brushing over her pussy lips as his mouth made its way over to her other breast, licking and kissing until his lips met with her nipple. His tongue lashed out at it as he tried to keep his hand steady. Laura was moving her hips up and down, anxiously trying to get him to touch her more but he was enjoying the tease and the anticipation.
"JC please..." she moaned, pushing herself against him. He moved one leg over hers and immediately felt her knee move up and start rubbing against his crotch.
"Laura," he moaned, trying to prop himself up on one elbow. He looked down at her, his heart pounding wildly as their bodies continued to grind against each other. He put his arm under her neck and touched her face with his other hand. "Laura, I need to know something."
She reached up and pulled his head down to hers, kissing him hard as she pushed her body against his. Her fingers pulled at his hair as her tongue probed his mouth. JC pushed one arm around her waist and rolled, pulling her on top of him, their legs tangled. His heart was pounding furiously and his body ached for her. With his hands on her head, he pushed her back, panting. "Laura, I really need to know something."
"Later," she whispered, trying to move her head forward. "Right now, I want you so badly."
"Baby," he pleaded, trying to concentrate on his question and not how her body was rubbing against his. "Earlier today when they were at your place...There seemed to be tension between you and Rachel. Do you think she knows about us? Is that going to cause more problems for you?"
Laura stopped moving and looked him in the eye. For a moment she felt extremely hurt that he would be sitting there worried whether his ex-fiancé knew if they were together. But logic told her that if she was in his position she would probably be thinking the same thing. "No, she was just having a stressful day. She doesn't know, JC." She pushed herself up, straddling his waist. "Do you remember a long time ago when the rest of the guys went on vacation and you decided not to go? You came by my house?"
He reached up and pushed open her shirt, looking at her beautiful breasts. His finger traced her nipple. "Yes, I do. Why?"
Reaching down, she pulled his shirt up so she was sitting against his skin. As she undid the buttons she began to rub her wetness against his stomach. He moaned and rolled her nipple between his thumb and forefinger. She finished undoing his buttons and pushed his shirt back and then started rubbing her palms against his chest. His skin was hot beneath her touch.
"It was the first time we were alone together..Without anyone around," she said softly, pushing down harder until she could feel her clit rubbing against his skin. Her nails dug into his chest as she slowly ground herself against him.
"Yes, it was," he said, wondering if she was ever going to make her point; but then again, he really didn't even care if she had one. He could feel her wetness soaking his skin. Cupping her breasts, he squeezed them gently, feeling her nipples hard against his palms. Her nails were digging into his chest harder and scratching downward and she moved faster on him. When she moved back her ass was hitting his cock which was still trapped in his jeans. He wasn't sure how much of this he could take.
Laura moaned and dragged her fingers down his chest and then moved them behind her, trying to undo the button on his jeans. After fighting with the button, she released the zipper blindly. "Your phone rang just like it did a minute ago and I watched you," she said as her hand slipped into his briefs. Her fingertips touched the head of his pounding cock, feeling the wetness that had gathered at the tip.
JC moaned and raised his hips, letting his hands slide down from her breasts to her hips. "Talked on the phone...right..." He guided her hips back and forth, pushing up against her. She wiggled out of his grip and moved down over his hips and thighs, sitting on his knees.
"And as I watched you walk around my living room, I could feel your voice seeping into my body. It really turned me on, JC."
"So my voice turns you on then?" he asked, catching his breath as her nails moved under the waistband of his jeans and briefs and started dragging them down. He raised his hips and watched the intense look on her face as she fought to pull his jeans down. When she had them down to her knees, she lightly ran her nails up his thighs, causing his whole body to shiver.
"It did then -- still does," she whispered softly, her eyes meeting his. "The whole package has always turned me on, JC. Even when you were with Rachel I would find myself having naughty thoughts of you in my head." She smiled and then leaned down, flicking her tongue against the tip of his cock.
JC reached down and stroked her hair, feeling her tongue circling the head of his cock. Her mouth was hot and wet as she lowered it, taking him slowly into her mouth. His fingers tightened in her hair as she started moving her mouth up and down his shaft, tightening her lips as she pulled her head back. Her tongue lashed out and then her teeth would graze his skin just before her tongue would start again. Her hair was spread out over his stomach, moving back and forth with her head. Holding the back of her head, he pumped his hips up and down faster, unable to control the urge to fuck her mouth.
"God Laura," he groaned, feeling her nails digging into his hips and her nipples brushing back and forth against his thighs as she sucked him harder and faster. He closed his eyes and leaned his head back, talking himself out of exploding into her mouth.
Laura felt his cock lurching in her mouth and slowed down a little. She listened to him moaning her name over and over again, feeling her wetness running down her inner thigh. She sucked in really hard and slowly pulled her mouth back, pulling on his cock hard until only his swollen head was still in her mouth. She circled it with her tongue and then released it, raising her eyes to look at him. She smiled at the look of pure passion on his face and then crawled up him, like a cat on the prowl.
She lowered herself against his cock, pressing it between her pussy and his stomach. He moaned and reached for her hands, entwining his fingers in hers as she started to slide up and down his cock.
"You're more beautiful to me with each passing day," he whispered, wanting desperately to bury himself in her although the feeling of her wet lips rubbing up and down his shaft was driving him crazy.
She smiled and slid forward, the head of his cock rubbing against her clit. Her body shivered as she moved very little, back and forth, feeling the hardness of her clit against his cock. He pulled his hands back, bringing her forward. His fingers tightened around hers as he pulled her down against his chest. She kissed his chest as she pushed against his hands, pushing her whole body back again until his cock was against her ass. Wiggling, she raised herself and pushed back again, feeling his cock slip between her lips. He raised his hips and she moved down, feeling his cock slide forward and then enter her slowly. Their moans filled the room as he slowly began to fill her.
"Oh God," she moaned, squeezing his hands as she pushed herself up until she was almost sitting up. Her muscles contracted around his cock, sucking it in and holding it tight. "Mmmmm that feels so good," she whispered.
She let go of his hands and placed her hands on his stomach as he moved his hands to her hips. Gripping her tightly, he lifted her up and down slowly at first, savoring the feeling of her hot pussy melting around his cock. As her fingernails started digging into his stomach, he moved her faster up and down, pumping up into her at the same time. He watched her toss her head back and close her eyes, moaning and whimpering inaudible words. His eyes moved down to her breasts, bouncing up and down each time she slammed against him. His eyes moved lower and he moaned as he watched his cock disappear into her pussy and then reappear, wet and shiny.
"God yes!" she screamed. She was controlling her own motions now, slamming down hard against him and grinding back and forth. "JC, yes, yes... God yes, fuck.... JC," she whimpered over and over again until he felt her body tense. He reached down and started stroking her swollen clit as her nails bit back into his flesh.
"Cum for me, Laura," he said, rubbing his thumb back and forth over her clit and rocking his hips slowly. He watched with total pleasure as her body began to shake uncontrollably, feeling her pussy tighten hard around his cock, contracting several times before he could feel a warm rush surround his cock. He moved his hands to stroke her sides as she tried to regroup. He smiled at her.
"What are you smiling for?" she asked teasingly, still panting.
"Just thinking how good you look in my shirt, that's all."
"Glad you think so because I'm not giving it back," she said as she laid down on his chest.
Wrapping her arms around his neck she held him tight and leaned to one side. JC held her and rolled, trying not to squish her. He had forgotten that his pants were still around his knees and tried to steady himself. He looked down at her, so beautiful beneath him. This was the woman who entered his dreams every night and interrupted his thoughts during the day.
Laura brought her legs up and wrapped them around his waist, pulling him down hard against her. He put his arms under her back and held onto her shoulders with his hands. As he buried his face into her neck, he started pounding his cock into her waiting pussy. He couldn't believe how wet she was. He kissed her neck, feeling her pulse running rapid beneath his lips. She moved her head and he brought his lips down hard against hers, kissing her passionately, sucking on his tongue and biting at her lips as he hammered into her harder, encouraged by the moans and whimpers against his mouth.
Her body became still for a brief second and then started thrashing below him. He pulled his head back and they watched each other through unfocused eyes. He pulled back slowly and then rammed his cock in deep, repeating the thrusts several times before he could see that she was about to cum again.
"JC," she screamed out against his ear. She arched her back and tightened her already bone-crushing leg grip around his waist. Her fingernails scratched down his back and then dug into his hips as she started to cum.
"Cum with me, baby," he managed to moan before thrusting into her once again. He tensed in her arms and then shuttered as he exploded inside of her, rocking slowly as his cock jerked inside of her. She could feel his cock expanding inside of her and then jerking forward. Suddenly she was filled with his heat and she rocked slowly beneath him, feeling their combined juices running down her ass.
He licked her forehead and then kissed her nose, moving down until he found her lips and kissed her softly, tasting her passion from her lips. He pulled away from her lips and planted little kisses all over her face, finally feeling her leg grip loosen. "God, I love you," he sighed.
Laura smiled and leaned up and kissed his lips softly. JC sat there and realized that he had never heard Laura ever tell him that she loved him. He didn't want to ruin the evening by bringing it up either. He reluctantly moved off her and pulled off his jeans. Standing up, he reached down and pulled her up and held her close to him, stroking her hair and her back. She held him tight and then he reached down and picked her up.
"I think I mentioned earlier that I do have a bed...You remember what it looks like right?" he whispered into her ear as he carried her into the bedroom.
CHAPTER 14
JC sat alone on the back porch, watching as the sun slowly started to make its entrance once again. He smiled as he pictured Laura curled up in his bed, the comforter wrapped around her body like a cocoon, keeping her safe and warm. His first instinct when he woke had been to reach for her and make love to her again but he stopped himself, deciding that she probably needed the sleep. He had to actually leave the bed to stop himself from touching her. How could one man have so much passion for a woman? He didn't want to ever be far from her again. He wanted more mornings like this one. Waking up with her lying in bed with him.
They had talked for hours last night about everything under the sun. JC was finding it hard to remember the last time they actually made love as opposed to wildly fucking whenever they got the chance. They hadn't really ever slowly done anything with each other in a long time. That night, after he had carried her off to bed, they had made love again, slowly, passionately and without any clothing on. He had explored every inch of her body and paid attention to some parts more than others. He sipped his coffee and was sure he could still taste her on his lips and his neck still moved, which surprised him considering the leg lock she'd had his head in.
He saw something move out of the corner of his eye and turned to see Laura walking towards him, his button down T-shirt draping over her body. He smiled and held out his hand to her. "Good morning, Beautiful," he said, setting his coffee down as she sat down on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her.
"Morning," she whispered, leaning her head back against his shoulder. "What a beautiful sunrise."
"Are you okay?" he asked, brushing her hair back off her forehead.
She turned her head and looked at him, smiling. "Very okay, just a little dreamy still...And starving."
"Damn. Laticia won't be here till later on this afternoon with groceries...How about I run down to McDonald's and hook us up with some egg mc muffins or something?"
"Well I do have a taste for an English muffin...Just promise you will hurry back to me."
"I'd always come back to you." he said as he lightly kissed her before hopping up and rushing to the store. Laura hoped he meant what he said.
Later, as she was laying in bed waiting, she heard JC walk in the front door. She quickly raced down the hallway as though someone had sounded a dinner bell. "What'd you get mmmeeee..."
"I think I might have something you could use."
"Hi, Justin." Laura said as she stood there trying to pull the shirt down further. "I thought you were JC."
"Do you always come looking for JC in that outfit?" he asked.
"No." Laura rolled her eyes trying to stall and think of an excuse as to why she was half naked in JC's house so early in the morning. "JC threw me in the pool last night and I accidentally locked myself out of the house so I had to stay here. He gave me his shirt to wear."
Justin raised his eyebrows "Uh huh..I'm sure JC gave you more than his t-shirt to wear" he joked.
"Funny..But no." she said, smacking him on the back of the head as she walked over to the fridge. He was totally right, but she couldn't admit that. 'Fuck' she mouthed to herself as she tried to put her best face forward.
Laura grabbed the orange juice from the fridge and went and sat in the bar stool and noticed Justin's eyes wondering south as she propped herself up in the chair. She quickly held the shirt down so he wouldn't see anything.
"Okay I didn't know if you wanted cheese or not so I got both." JC said as he walked into the kitchen with his eyes buried in the bag. "Oh shit!" JC gasped as he saw Justin sitting at the table and Laura still half naked on the bar stool. "Hey... Justin."
"Hey yourself." Justin smiled.
Laura looked towards him to try and signal but Justin was on a mission. Justin walked around the counter towards the refrigerator, "So you two have fun last night?"
"What do you mean." JC acted clueless.
"He means when you threw me in the pool and got my clothes drenched."
"Ooohhh. I thought he might have thought something else." JC recovered.
"Why would I think that? Unless I should?" Justin questioned.
"Oh please. You know better than to think that, Justin." JC answered nonchalantly.
"Oh, do I?"
"Yeah," JC handed Laura the McDonald's bag and headed over to the cabinet to get some glasses. "Why would you even think something like that?"
"Any person would. Your best friends. Your with each other almost every single waking hour. I come in here and see her walking down the hallway nonchalantly as if it was normal for her to be walking around your house in only a t-shirt...A t-shirt that belongs to you might I add. And she has that glow to her that women only get after they have been satisfied to the fullest. I know that look. I've had the pleasure of causing that look myself a time or two." he grinned.
Orange juice suddenly began to spray across the table out of Laura's mouth after she heard this. "You okay?" JC asked as he patted her back.
Laura wiped her mouth as she tried to utter a response to his statement. "Whatever, Justin! JC really isn't my type and by the looks of him, he doesn't look like he would be able to fulfill half my needs." she laughed, lying through her teeth.
JC shot her a look as he handed her some paper towels to clean up the mess.
"Aight...Well if you two ain't dating, come out with me this weekend."
"We tried that once before, remember? That didn't work out too well."
"You didn't even give it a chance, girl! We went to the movies and somebody spotted me and all hell broke loose."
"And that's why I ain't going through that drama anymore."
"Come on Laura. Just dinner."
"Yeah it's just dinner Laura." JC chimed in.
Laura didn't understand what JC was doing. 'Why is he trying to coax me into this date?' she wondered to herself.
CHAPTER 15
Well if JC was going to throw her to the wolves, Laura was going to at least have some fun with it. "When?" she asked, turning her gaze from JC back to Justin.
Justin was surprised. "How about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow is the awards ceremony." JC interrupted as he walked over to put away some plates that had been drying.
"Oh. Well how about just a lunch date later on this afternoon?"
"That sounds fine. You can also be my chauffeur for the day and help me pick out a dress to wear."
JC stopped moving around the plates long enough to hear her agree to the date. He went back to placing the plates back in the cabinet and sat down at the table across from Justin.
"Well I better go home and get changed."
"I thought you were locked out?" Justin asked.
"Um..Yeah. I have to go and wait for the locksmith to help me back into my house."
"Wait, come on. I'll give you a pair of my boxers to wear back so that you aren't standing out there half naked."
Laura followed JC down the hall to the back bedroom. Justin leaned back in his chair and followed her every move with his eyes and smiled to himself.
"What the hell are you doing, Laura?"
"What do you mean?" she whispered.
"You are actually going to go out on a date with Justin?"
"Well I didn't see you standing there trying to stop me...'It's just dinner, Laura'." she mocked, "Isn't that what you said?"
"I was trying to play it off, I think he is onto us like white on rice!" JC whispered loudly as he rummaged through his drawers.
"Well either way I can date whomever I choose, JC. Remember? We aren't together right now."
"Ah, I see...What are you trying to prove?" JC grabbed a pair of boxers and walked over to Laura who was standing by the door.
"Not trying to prove anything. At first I was pissed off that you would actually sit over there and try and get me to go out with him." Laura struggled to put on the boxers. "Now its just to get Justin off our backs...Why? You jealous?"
"I don't have anything to be jealous about." JC said as he turned the lock on the bedroom door.
"What are you doing?"
"You wanted to be a smart ass earlier huh?" JC said as he moved closer to Laura who was now standing up against the wall.
"What do you mean?"
He grinned. "Talking shit about how I wouldn't be able to satisfy you."
"Ooohhh." Laura laughed. "I was just-" JC suddenly grabbed both cheeks of her ass in his hands and lifted her slightly off the floor. Laura was caught off guard and her arm slammed into the wall in her efforts to find something to hold onto to keep her balance. Laura quickly wrapped her arms around JC as he kissed down her neck. He loosened his grip of her ass as he started kissing lower and lower down her chest. His hands slowly wrapped around the bottom of the shirt she was wearing and he slowly ran his fingertips up her thighs as he lifted the shirt slightly. The thought of having Justin in the next room while she and JC fucked turned her on even more. JC was soon down on his knees. In one swift move he yanked his boxers down past her ankles and buried his face between her legs. Laura cried out at the sudden touch of his lips around her clit. He slowly wrapped his hands around both sides of her waist to help her keep her balance.
"Is everything okay back there?" Justin cried out from down the hall.
Laura jumped at the sound of his voice and pushed JC away from her crotch. He looked towards Laura curiously to find out what was wrong.
"I'm sorry. I just can't with him here. He's going to catch us, JC."
"The door is locked, Laura."
"Yeah well I only came back here to get some boxers...Not have my box munched on." Laura commented as she pulled the boxers up around her waist.
JC tried not to laugh. "okay, okay." He said as he leaned forward and kissed her deep on the lips.
"I taste good." she smiled. JC licked his lips and grinned. "I can't get enough of you....Just make sure my best friend doesn't come back saying the same thing." he replied as he smacked her ass before she walked out of the room.
Laura stuck up her middle finger as she continued to walk down the hallway. "Okay Justin. I will see you at noon then?"
"OK. You're place right?"
"Yep."
"K." he said, leaning over in his chair as he watched her walking away.
"Thanks again, JC." Laura called out to him.
"Anytime." JC and Justin watched Laura disappear through the backyard. "And you're telling me that you never thought about tappin' that?" Justin asked. "Mmmm…Mmmm…Mmmm!" Justin shook he whole body as he closed his eyes thinking about how her ass looked before she put on the boxers. "I’m serious, JC. That ass is like –- ” His hands squeezed the empty air as if he were squeezing her -- “Nice.”
"She's Rachel's best friend."
"So? You and Rachel are history."
"She's my best friend. She's amazing, and of course the thought has crossed my mind, but I would never want to screw up our friendship."
"I would think that might make it just that much better if you were friends and lovers, man. A female who knows you better than you know yourself sometimes. A confidant that you don't have to put up a front for all the time. Someone you trust with your life. Someone who not only turns you on physically, but mentally too. Someone who challenges you. That other person that pushes you to do better when you feel like you want to give up. Someone who is there through good and bad times. That one person you know who will always be there for you no matter what. That last face you see before you go to bed and the face you see when you wake up in the morning...All that shit that we eventually want as we get older.
"Well I mean...Yeah...We...We're friends. And with the way things are right now, I don't want to jeopardize anything. The thought had briefly crossed my mind though." JC wanted to tell Justin what was going on but he didn't want to betray Laura. Justin started to bounce idea's around about where he was going to take her. JC tried his best not to become jealous, but something inside him was making him feel uneasy about the afternoon to come.
