Decisions
  by DB


Chapter 7

You knew this morning's "breakfast meeting" was not going to
go well.  Both you and Justin were exhausted, as your
lovemaking had continued through most of the night.  You had
managed to gather enough strength to shower at about 4:00 am,
but that too had turned in to a romantic interlude with Justin
pleading with you to make love to him one more time.  You
were happy to oblige him, but you were both paying for it now.

Johnny would be at the meeting this morning to discuss the
upcoming tour and expected everyone's full attention.  The
meeting was scheduled to start in 15 minutes, and you hadn't
even attempted to wake Justin.  He was sleeping so peacefully,
and you knew that four hours of sleep was not enough to satisfy
his body's needs.  You ran your fingers through his soft curls and
whispered his name.

"Justin....Justin, it's time to wake up."  He rolled over, put his arm around
you and snuggled close.  His voice was barely audible.

"Screw the meeting."  "Call Chris and tell him I'm not coming."

"Justin, you can't do that."  "Johnny's gonna be there." you
reminded him.

"I'm not in the mood for him this morning." he complained.

You chuckled.  "You're not in the mood for anything."  "You're
a grouch!"

Without warning, Justin rolled on top of you, his legs straddling
yours.  "I'm in the mood for something," he said as he was flashing his
captivating smile,  "just not listening to one of Johnny's lectures."

"Justin, you must be kidding?" you asked in amazement.  "Last
night wasn't enough?"

"Not even close!" he laughed and then added a pitiful, "Please?"

The phone rang before you could give him an answer and Justin
grabbed it on the first ring.

"Hello?"

You could hear Johnny's booming voice and Justin quickly
moved the receiver from his ear.

"Justin, get your ass down here now!"  "You're late, again!"

Justin answered using his best remorseful voice.  "Sure Johnny,
I'll be right there."  "Give me five minutes."

"Like hell I will!"  "You got two, and make sure Gary is with
you!"

Justin hopped out of bed and grabbed a pair of drawstring
pants, putting them on as he talked.

"Shit!" "He's really pissed." Justin conveyed.  "We got two
minutes."

"We?" you asked.

"Yep, he said to make sure you were with me," he answered.

The news immediately disturbed you.  Why would Johnny want
you at the meeting?  Only one thought ran through your mind.
Johnny was not going to let you travel with Justin on this tour.
Although he had never been rude, he had never gone out of his
way to make you feel welcome during these last 3 months either.

The door to Chris' room was slightly ajar and Justin was hoping
the two of you could slip in quietly, but Johnny had other ideas.

"Glad you boys could join us," he said sarcastically, "now sit
your butts down and pay attention."  "Chris give them an
agenda."

Justin was disappointed.  An agenda meant this meeting was not
going to be a short one.  He grabbed a pillow off of the bed and
positioned it on your lap.

"Don't even think about it, Justin" Johnny snapped.

Justin exhaled loudly.

"Is there a problem?" Johnny asked.  You were hoping Justin
would let it go, but you knew better.

"Yeah, there is," he yelled.  "I'm tired of you riding my ass."

"I shouldn't have to ride your ass, Justin, and you and I will
discuss this in private when we're done here."  "Is that clear?"

Justin was sorry he had lost his temper.  "Yes sir, it's clear."

"Thank you," Johnny said calmly.  "Now lets see how quickly
we can cover this agenda."  "The first item is the new staff."  "I'm
planning on a couple of changes in the touring staff."  "First of
all, Mark Matthews has agreed to join us as the "tour physician."

"Great idea, Johnny," Chris remarked, "we all really liked him."
The others were in total agreement.  Mark and his daughter had
joined the guys for dinner after the Chicago concert and they hit
if off immediately.

"Mark will be joining us the week before the tour starts."  "He'll
meet with each of you individually and for a physical, your shots,
and so he can get a medical background on each of you."

"Shots!" JC exclaimed.

"Relax man, they're over and done with in a second."  Lance
was doing his best to ease JC's fears.

"Yeah, you did great last time," Joey added.

Danni could see that he needed some more convincing.  She
moved from Chris' lap and positioned herself next to JC.  She
took his hand in hers and patted it gently.

"It'll be ok, JC, Mark gave Justin a shot and he didn't even cry."
"We all know you're braver than Curly."  "You'll be fine."

Everyone roared with laughter except for Justin.

"Funny, Danni."  "Real funny."

Deep down her comments didn't bother him at all, as long as it
made JC feel better.  He knew how terrified his partner was of
needles.

Johnny continued.  "Mark will be in charge of all aspects of your
health and his decisions are final."  "Meals, medications and
injuries will all be handled by him; no outsiders."  "He also has
the power to impose curfews, if and when, he thinks they're
necessary."

"Shit!" said Joey under his breath.

Johnny missed nothing.  "Joey, would you like to share your
opinion with all of us?"

Lance was siding with Joey on this one.  "Don't you think we're
a little old for curfews?"

Johnny had seen the effects of the late night clubbing more than
he cared for on the last tour and sternly corrected Lance.

"Evidently not, and this is not up for discussion."  "And for the
record Lance, if I remember correctly, you were 20 years old
when we finished touring."  "You weren't even legally allowed in
most of those clubs!"

"Gotcha!" Chris chuckled.  Lance shot him a dirty look, but said
nothing.

Johnny continued on for another half an hour discussing security,
travel arrangements and other mundane topics that had nearly
put Justin to sleep.  He rested his head on your shoulder and
exhaled deeply.

"Ok guys, one more item and then you can go."

He handed everyone a sheet of paper.  "Here is the official tour
schedule"  "Trust me, its full."  "If you notice, there are five dates
that are highlighted.  These dates will be concerts in conjunction
with four other artists,  Britney, 5ive, LFO and 98 Degrees.  To
make things fair, each group will headline the show on one of the
five nights.  We drew for cities.  *NSYNC will have the last of
the five shows in San Diego."

It was obvious from the chatter and the high fives all around that
these arrangements were not a problem.  In fact, the guys loved
the idea.  Even Justin managed to join in the celebration.

"Can you guys imagine the basketball games?  We'll have
enough for 2 full teams!"

Joey, of course, had his own ideas about the games.  "Yeah,
even Britney is a pretty good player, and I'll guard her any day
of the week!"

Danni grabbed a pillow and smacked Joey on the side of the
head. "You perv, do you ever think about anything else?"

Joey paused and rubbed his chin as if thinking.  "Hmmm, no I
don't think so."

"Down boy," Johnny interjected,  "don't even think about it."  I'm
going to assume you all know that Britney is off limits."
Everyone, including Joey, nodded in agreement.

"Ok, if nobody has any questions, then we're through."
"Justin. Gary, I need to see you guys for a minute please."

The sound of his voice made you both uneasy, but you followed
Johnny into the hotel corridor.  Johnny reached into his pocket
and removed his key card.

"Gary, could you wait for me in my room please?"  "I need to
talked to Justin privately for a moment."  Your suspicions were
right.  Johnny was going to break the news to Justin first, then
tell you that you would not be allowed on the tour.  Damn, why
now.  After the events of last night, you hated for this to happen,
but more importantly, Justin would be devastated.  You said
nothing, but took the key and headed down the hall to his room.

Johnny turned his attention to Justin.  When he spoke, his voice
had a fatherly tone.

"Let's talk about that outburst in there."  "Did I deserve that?"

"No," Justin said apologetically, "I'm just really tired."  "I'm
sorry."

"Thank you, I appreciate that."  "I would also appreciate it if
you could manage to show up on time."  "You're late for
everything, and it's not fair for the rest of the guys to have to
always wait on you."  "I cut you slack when you were younger,
but I shouldn't have to do that anymore."

Justin was sorry that he had disappointed Johnny.

"I'll work on it, and I'm sorry I let you down."

Johnny knew Justin was sincere and hadn't meant to sound so
cross.

"Justin," he said as he tousled his hair, "you've never let me
down.  You have always been extremely mature and
professional."  You've been a joy, just not very punctual," he
said smiling.  "Now, why don't you go back to your room and
get some sleep."

Justin couldn't stand it.  "So, what are you gonna talk to Gary
about?"

"For right now, that is a private matter," Johnny replied.  "If
Gary wants to discuss it with you later, that's up to him."

Johnny turned and headed towards his room leaving Justin
standing in the hall, wondering what the topic of the mysterious
discussion would be, and more importantly, why he was not
included.  The thought running through his mind made him
uneasy.

The time you spent alone in Johnny's room seemed like an
eternity.  Finally, Johnny entered and although you were sure
you were not going to enjoy the conversation, you were grateful
that the wait was finally over.

His voice was serious.  "Gary, I need to talk to you about the
upcoming tour."

The butterflies in your stomach had now turned to nausea.  This
was it.  No tour.  No Justin.

"We haven't had much of a chance to talk, but I have noticed
how helpful you have been to the crew in the last few months."
"I have also notice the positive effect you've had on Justin."
"I'd like you to join the tour."  "I understand that you are a whiz
with electronics and computers and it seems that everything on
the tour is some how related to both of those.  Our lights,
sound, security; everything."  "It's been a nightmare for me and
I'm looking for someone who can oversee that whole operation."
"I think you'd do a great job."

You couldn't believe what you were hearing.  You were elated.

Johnny continued, "We could really use your help and if you are
part of the crew, it would take some of the heat off of you and
Justin."  "There won't be any questions as to why you are
traveling with us."

Johnny had really put some thought into this.  You were
impressed and grateful.

"I have no idea what you are making as a consultant, but I'm
offering you $75,000 to start with all expenses paid."  "If I am
out of line with that figure, let me know."  "It's negotiable."

He reached out and shook your hand. "Give it some thought and
discuss it with Justin."  "This will be a very time consuming job
and I know Justin can be a little 'high maintenance' at times."
"Just make sure it will work."  "I hope you decide to join the
team."

"Thanks, Johnny" was all you could manage to say.


You didn't even have the door fully open when you could hear
Justin's worried voice.  "Gary, what's going on?"  "You've been
in Johnny's room forever!"

You had to smile. "J, it was more like fifteen minutes and relax,
nothing's wrong, in fact, I think you gonna really like the news."
"Johnny offered me a position on the tour.  "He wants me to
oversee anything technology related."  "Lights, sound,
everything."

His face lit up. "That's awesome!"  "So you told him yes, right?"

"Not yet," you replied.  "He wanted me to think about it and
discuss it with you, but I'm planning on accepting his offer."  "He
was very generous."

"This is great!"  "We've got to tell Danni and the rest of the
guys," he said as he hurried toward the door.

"Not so fast."  "I thought we were gonna discuss this?" you
reminded him.

Justin looked shocked.  "Discuss it?" "What's to discuss?"

"Hmmm, maybe how much I love you," you said teasingly.

He paused for a second.  After your last comment you expected
to see a smile, but Justin's face was somber.  He inched toward
you, took your hand in his and exhaled slowly.

"Gary, I have a problem." "Can you help me?"

He caught you off guard.  Only moments ago everything seemed
fine.

"Sure Justin, anything."  "What do you need?"

A devilish grin came across his face as he placed your hand on
his crotch.

"I need you to take care of my 'little friend' here.  "He's kinda
lonely."

Damn, you loved this boy.  He was so spontaneous. So full of
life and ready to enjoy every minute.

You began massaging him gently.  "I hate to tell you this, but
that's no "little" friend.

With your free hand your brought his head to yours and allowed
you lips to touch.  He moaned with delight as your tongue
slipped past his lips and into his mouth, exploring every inch.

You gently laid him on the bed and began to undo the buttons of
his shirt exposing his chest.  You moved your lips from his,
kissing his neck before moving to his chest, licking and caressing
his hardened nipples.  By now, Justin was not the only one
excited and your desire for him was evident.  Your mouth
moved lower as you hands untied Justin's drawstring pants and
lowered them over his hips, leaving only his boxers.  You
stopped kissing him briefly and looked into his deep blue eyes.
You could see his passion and knew that you would do anything
to please him.

Within seconds, you had both removed what was left of your
clothing and resumed kissing passionately.  Without being totally
conscious of your actions, your mouth once again left his lips and
journeyed lower and lower until you heard his moans of desire
as you put his cock in your mouth, teasing it with your tongue.

After pleasuring him for several minutes, you knew he was close
to reaching his climax.  You rolled over on your back and
allowed Justin to have you one more time.  Unlike last night, he
was relaxed and confident.  You knew nothing would ever
compare to the special moments the two of you had shared last
night, but you also realized you were both inexperienced and
that your lovemaking would only get better.

Justin screamed your name as his body exploded with pleasure.
Your body was ready too, encouraged by Justin's constant
stroking.  It was an incredible moment, both of your bodies in a
passionate and exhausting orgasm.

As Justin lay on your chest, his breathing labored and his body
fatigued from the events of the last 12 hours, you could not
imagine being more in love.

Within minutes, Justin had drifted off to sleep, but your
conversation with Johnny had given you new energy.  You had
two short months to learn everything about the operation.  It's
not like you were totally unfamiliar.  You had helped out on
several occasions in the past, but that was different.  That was
troubleshooting.  Now the entire show would be in your hands.
The challenge excited you, but at the same time left you with a
degree of concern.

The phone's loud ring startled you and interrupted your
thoughts.  You quickly clambered over Justin trying to reach the
annoyance before it woke him.  He never stirred. Exhaustion has
won this battle.

"Hello?" you said softly.

It was Chris.  "Gary is that you?"

"Yeah, Justin's asleep."  "I was just trying to be quiet."

"Sorry, I hope I didn't wake him," Chris said.  "He looked
pretty tired at the meeting."  "Listen, I won't keep you, but we
were all gonna get together for dinner tonight."  "You guys have
plans?"

"We do now."  "Dinner sounds great."  "What time?"  It amazed
you that after all the time they spent together the guys had
remained so close and truly enjoyed each other's company.

"How about we shoot for meeting in my room at 7:00?"  "That
way you and Justin should be able to make it by 7:30" he joked.

"Ok Chris, put your money where your mouth is," you replied.
"Twenty bucks says we're there on time."

Chris laughed.  "Just pay up now Gary."  "It'll never happen."

You enjoyed the banter with Chris and were grateful that you
and he had become closer.  He was a great guy.

"We'll be there at 7:00 and have your money ready!"

You hung up the phone and stared down at Justin's motionless
body lying next to you. His innocence brought a smile to your
face and you lay down next to him and floated off into a peaceful
slumber.
