Welcome to Paradise

Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't updated in a LONG time, but I have no time, at
all. Hell I barely have enough time to sleep; I don't have time to update.
But I'll try. So this chapter is going to be really short. SORRY!
Ok now to another issue, as much as I love that people are telling me that
'this sounds like Jc's Hitchhiker' it's getting old, and fast. Its wonderful
people think I can write as well as Writer Boy, but the stories are
different. Really the only things that are the same are: they both involve
NSYNC and JC and the OMC sleep together. And telling an author that her
story sounds the same as another, no matter how fantastic the story is, gets
annoying. And I know you guys meant it as a compliment, but if you want to
compliment me tell me that you love the story or that I'm an awesome writer
or something, please? I'm really sorry but I've just had a bad day and I
finally snapped. I don't mean to take it out on ya'll but, please, no more
comparisons. Thank you, I seriously love you guys and when you review I get
a warm fuzzy feeling in my tummy (Sorry I was working with preschoolers the
other day and I cant stop talking like that lol). God Bless.

Ok now if you still want to read the story after my rav. You're angels. Lol.
I have decided if you guys want frequent updates then I need a co-author.
I've been thinking about it for sometime now, and I've decided I don't have
enough time to write chapters and do everything else I have to do in my
life, so I need some help. SO if you're interested in helping me write this
story then PLEASE email me! And don't worry it wouldn't be all my ideas and
you gets putting them on paper (in a sense). The story would be 50-50. So if
any of ya'll have any ideas for the story and they fit the vague story line
I have for the story, then PLEASE email me! Or if people just want to guest
host chapters that would be SUCH a big help! So PLEASE email me!!!!!!!!!!
Luv ya'll to bits!

Oh and if you guys want more smut you need to email and tell me and help me
write it. 'Cause I'm a girl and hey, I wont know what guys like. So please
help me. Gosh, I'm sounding like such a bitch aren't I? Lol.
Sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!

"...Then I look at what you've given me. I feel like dancing on my tiptoes.
I must say everyday I wait and realize you're by my side. I know I'm truly
blessed...for all the tenderness you show. Do my best with every breath
that's in me. To make sure you never go. " *Blessed* Christina Aguilera.


After about 30 minutes of waiting for Jen and Alex to come back down I got
impatient and pounded on their door telling them to hurry. 5 minutes later
Jen and Alex came running down the stairs like a bat outa hell. Alex had his
shirt on inside out and Jen's buttons on her blouse were messed up. Josh and
I had to bit our bottom lips to keep from laughing out loud at the sight.
Obviously I had been right when I said they were going to get in a quickie
before the plane ride. I shook my head and bid them both goodbye, making Jen
promise to call me as soon as they got in.

AS soon as they left I smiled at Josh. "SO what do you want to do today?"

He shrugged in response. "I don't know. You live here, what's there to do
around here besides surf?"

"You say that like it's a bad thing." I laughed.

"Hey I almost dies doing that, I'm not to fond of the sport right now." Josh
pointed out.

"Well that's just 'cause you didn't have a good teacher." I smirked walking
over to my couch and lying down on it.

"Oh and you'd be a good teacher?" Josh asked, cocking his head to the side
amused.

"No, you'd be too distracting a student. I wouldn't be able to concentrate
on the water. We might both drown." I teased, looking up at him. He was
standing over me with his hands on his hips and his head still tilted to the
side. He looked so sexy, almost like he was posing for a calendar. His hair
was wild, and you could tell he hadn't shaved in days.

"Josh you need a shower." I laughed.

"Hey! Are you telling me I stink?" he asked, chuckling.

"No, I think you smell like roses. But, baby your hair is too much." I
smiled.

"What's wrong with my hair?" he asked running a hand through it.

"Nothing, it's perfect. But if you want to be able to control it at some
point in your life you might want to wash it." I grinned.

"Ok now you're asking for it." He replied and before I could say 'josh is
the hottest person I have ever met' he was on top of me, pining my hands
above my head.

"Josh what are you doing?" I asked, curious. There were so many things he
could be thinking right now, and I really didn't want a repeat of the other
night. But I didn't get an auditable reply. All I got was two hands on my
sides, tickling me.

"Josh stop." I laughed. He grinned down at me.

"Now why would I want to do that?"

"Because you're a nice person."

"Um, no."

"Because you're a really sweet guy and you know I wasn't being serious."

"Nope."

"Because you're the best boy friend ever?" I guessed.

"I like that answer the best so far, but no."

"Because if you don't stop I'm gonna pee all over you." I whined. Josh
laughed and finally stopped.

"Now that's the answer I'll listen to." Josh laughed. But he didn't move off
his strolling position over me.

"Oh I see how it is. I have to claim I'm going to act like a 3 year old for
you to stop?" I asked amused.

"Yep. But now I have a better game for us to play." Josh answered, changing
the subject.

"Oh what game is that?" I asked, interested.

"It's called 'make-out-with-Ryan' wanna play?" Josh whispered in my ear
before nibbling on it gently. I groaned in response wrapping my arms around
his neck.  Of course then there was a knock at the door. Josh moaned and
rolled off me. I sighed.

"Ignore 'em. Maybe their leave us alone." I whispered. The person rang the
bell again.

"Go get it, it's not like I'm going any where." Josh groaned. I sighed and
got off the couch. Grumbling and cursing I walked towards the door. I opened
it to find Justin standing there.

"Justin what are you doing here?" I asked surprised. Why in the hell was
Josh's best friend here?

"Is JC here?" he asked.

"Um yea he's in the front room. Why?" I replied taking a step back to let
him inside. Justin ran into the front room before I could even close the
door.

"JC! Thank you God! Thank you God! Thank you God." Justin mumbled over and
over again as he ran towards JC giving him a huge bear hug.

"Justin what's going on? What's wrong?" Josh asked concerned.

"What's wrong? WHAT'S WRONG?" Justin yelled. "Oh I'll tell you what's wrong
JC. For the last 2 days Joey, Chris Lance I have been searching the globe
for your sorry ass!"

"What? Why?" Josh asked confused. I just stood against the wall and watched
the two of them.

"Because! Josh you didn't tell anyone where you were going, or how long you
were going, or where we could reach you in case of an emergency or...."
Justin answered.

"Ok I get it." Josh cut him off.

"The last person you talked to was Bobbie and that was 3 days ago! What if
something happened Josh! To you or 2one of the guys or your family or
something! We wouldn't have known! Or been able to reach you!" Justin cried.
He had tears streaming down his checks as he yelled at Josh.

"Jus I am so sorry. I wasn't thinking. I just...acted on impulse. I didn't
mean to worry you guys. Did anything happen? Is everyone ok?" Josh replied,
his own tears leaking out of his eyes as he spoke.

"No, thank God. But if something had happened...it's just the principal of
the thing JC." Justin answered, sitting down next to Josh on the couch.

"I'm sorry J. I didn't mean to scare you guys." Josh apologized.

"I know C. It's ok." Justin reassured hugging Josh.

"How did you find me? I mean I'm not mad or anything but, I didn't tell
anyone where I was going." Josh finally asked a few minutes later.

"Lance. Well not really Lance, but he still had his key to your house and we
went over there and kinda tour the place apart, sorry. But, Christ, C we
were about ready to file a missing persons report! But then you're mail came
and we kinda opened your credit card bill and saw that you purchased a round
trip ticket to Hawaii and I was like 'he went to go see Ryan.' So I hopped
the first plane I could here." Justin explained.

"It's ok, there's not really anything there that's not replaceable. Sorry."
Josh apologized again.

"It's ok. So...how's everything here?" Justin asked. Josh must have suddenly
remembered I was in the room 'cause his eyes widened and turned to me.

"Hi." I smiled and waved.

"Ry there's something I kinda have to tell ya." Josh stuttered.

"What?" I asked walking over to where he and Justin were sitting. "You're
not secretly aliens, coming here to take over the world and you want me to
be your translator are you?" I teased. Josh bit his lower lip and shook his
head. Ok from experience, when Josh does that it's not a good thing.

"Come on Josh you're kinda freaking me out here." I laughed nervously.

"Have you ever heard of a group called *N SYNC?" He asked. Well duh, does he
not remember laughing at the reason why my house is baby blue?

"Um yea aren't they those ugly preppy guys that dance around in front of
12-year olds?" I asked winking at Justin. He smiled at me and winked back.
Josh on the other hand paled and he started breathing really fast.

"Josh. Josh! I'm kidding. I know who you are." I reassured rubbing his
hands.

"You...you do?" he asked, wide eyed.

"Yea." I smiled. He relaxed visibly and he started getting his color back in
his checks.

"Did you always know?" he asked, looking at me with those metallic blue
eyes.

"No." I replied intertwining our fingers together.

"When...when did you figure it out?" he questioned.

"After I left that morning I went to the airport and sat there for hours
staring at the ceiling and mentally scolding myself. That's where Justin
found me 5 hours later and we talked for a while and he asked if I knew who
he was and when he told me I kinda put 2 and 2 together." I explained.

"Oh." Was all Josh said as he looked down at the carpet.

"Are you mad at me?" I asked sadly. I didn't know it was that big a deal.

"No, I'm just...relieved I guess. I mean here I was thinking you had no idea
who I was and when you found out you might start flipping out and not want
to be with me." Josh replied, still not looking at me.

"Josh, why would I not want to be with you? Just 'cause I know millions of
girls around the world want you too?" I asked.

"Because of the long distance thing. It's not easy on a relationship and...I
don't know. I was just being stupid." He laughed slightly blinked, letting a
tear fall down his check.

"Oh babe. I'm sorry. I should have told you earlier that I knew. I just
didn't know it was that big of a deal. I've never dated a celebrity before."
I replied kissing his check.

"No more tears ok? You look ugly when you cry." I said as I whipped one lone
tear off his check.

"Oh thanks Ry." He laughed. I kissed him.

"There's that smile that I know and love." I whispered.

"Do I really look ugly when I cry?" he asked.

"NO! No, I was just trying to make you smile." I replied quickly. How could
he even think such a thing? He was too beautiful. "You're too beautiful,
there's nothing you could do to make you look ugly." Josh blushed and looked
at our hands. I smiled and kissed his temple, thanking God that He sent me
such a sweet, gentle soul in my life. I heard the microwave going and the
sound of popcorn popping. I looked up and realized Justin had left.

"Want some pop corn?" I asked.

"No, I want some Ryan." Josh replied before kissing me and pulling me down
on the couch.
