Subject: Love Interest - Chapter 20

Last time on Chapters 17-19 Love Interest -

In Chapter 17 Justin and Josh contemplated their first time of having
sex, but realized that neither of them were ready for that. Instead
Justin was treated to a pleasurable incident of oral sex from Josh.
Afterwards Josh watched Justin sleep.

In Chapter 18 Brittney and Lance had their first time of sex, and rather
cheapishly too. Wasting no time, they both anticipated the situation and
took it rather quickly. Will this have something to do with their
relationship?

In Chapter 19 basically not much happened with anyone but Chris. I
included Christina, Samantha, and Joey, but they were only in it briefly.
If you even want to say that they were in it at all. I'm sorry about
that, but the chapter was basically meant to show Chris and Dani's
relationship now that they have broken up.

This chapter has a little bit of every body in it, enjoy Chapter 20 of
Love Interest -

____________________________________________________________________________

"Thanks baby." Justin mumbled, as he opened his eyes. He was still
recovering from the orgasm that Josh had given him, but he was able to
speak. Josh just smiled, and climbed up to him. Rubbing his face
lovingly, Josh waited until he was truly recovered to have a
conversation. In the meantime, he pulled the belt of the robe up and
around so that Justin was now clothed. His own had never been opened, and
he readjusted it, as he waited.

"What do you want to do today?" Josh asked as he looked at the clock. It
was already 12:45, they had spent a good hour and a half in the bath tub,
and 'fooling' around in the bed.

"Um, a little more of that." Justin giggled, as Josh played with his
curls.

"Maybe we could have some lunch first? Before we start that again." Josh
laughed at Justin, and kissed him on the cheek. "God I love you." Justin
looked up at him, and smiled. Josh blushed, not realizing that he had
said it out loud.

"I love you too, some times, other times I just like you. Most of the
time I just like you, actually, I just act like I love you to get some."
Justin joked, and Josh just frowned mockingly. Josh stopped curling and
uncurling the hairs he was playing with, and continue to play it like he
was upset at the joking judgement Justin had said. "I didn't mean it
baby. Really, I'm sorry." Justin begged in a child like voice, getting
down on his knees.

"I guess I forgive you." Josh replied, knowing he wouldn't have been able
to hold up much longer under the circumstances of watching Justin beg.

"Thank you, thank you." Justin beamed, and jumped back onto the bed.
Lying back down, he rested his head on Josh's shoulder.

"But you have to let me do what ever I want to you." Josh threw in as
Justin rested comfortably. He got no verbal response, but he could feel
Justin's head shake in a 'yes' manner against his chest. Slowly, he
slipped his hands into Justin's robe, and began to massage his stomach,
finding Justin's spot quickly, as the stomach is a large area.  His hands
continued to roam over it, until he was stopped by the ringing of a cell
phone.

"It's not mine. I turned mine off." Justin peeped up, but Josh could tell
the younger man was almost asleep.

"I'll take it outside, now you sleep." Josh smiled, and stood. He grabbed
his cell off the dresser and walked outside through the balcony doors.
"Hello."

"Joshua, why haven't you called?" Josh let out a small moan of
desperation, it was his mother and she had given him little oppurtunity
to say anything before she was jumping down his throat for the lack of
communication they had shared since the tour kicked up.

"Sorry mom, I've been real busy." Josh lied, he had a whole free day
ahead of him, and he wasn't even thinking about calling his mother any
time of it.

"Doing what? Some random punk off the streets?" Karen Chasez asked with a
little anger in her voice. Josh hated having the same arguement with his
mother, but the fact that he slept around was not something his mother
was proud of. And the fact that it was with men was even worse in her
eyes.

"No mother. I'm in a happy relationship right now." Josh replied, still
neglecting to tell his mother who.

"And may I ask who? Or would you rather wait and see if it lasts? After
the sex he may not return your call." Karen's question was harsh yet
again, and Josh contemplated hanging up on her. Instead he wanted to make
her eat her words.

"Actually mom, I'm dating Justin. And we have not had sex yet. Oh and
before you asked, no I haven't been trying to pressure him into it
either." Josh smirked, he was going to make his mother regret starting
this arguement with him. There was nothing she could say about Justin,
she loved him like a son.

"You're dating Justin? Why didn't you call and tell me? You're being
faithful aren't you? This could be it for you Justin, don't screw it up.
Justin and you are perfect for each other. "Why didn't you tell me?" Josh
laughed out loud, and he knew his mother heard it. He was happy to have
caused her such a confusion.

"Yeah, me and Justin, and I love him mom. I would never cheat on him,
although something around the terms of cheating happened a few days ago.
But it's a long story, and Justin doesn't blame me. And you don't have to
worry about could be's, cuz I know Justin is the one. I always knew, he
just started to realize it too." Josh smiled, and laughed, but this time
at himself. "But I gotta go mom."

"Alright, but you have to call me more often. And tell that Justin he
better have a good excuse for not telling me about you two." She
snickered.

"I will mom. I love you."

"Love you too honey, bye."

"bye." The goodbye's exchanged and Josh was off the phone with his
mother. Turning to walk back in, he abruptly bumped into Justin, and
nearly jumped out of his skin. "Oh MY GOD!" Justin just started to
snicker. "That's not funny Justin. You scared the shit out of me."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. It's just I wanted to talk to you.
All that shit you sai.." Justin stopped halfway, as he felt a hand come
in contact with the back of his head.

"Don't swear." Josh scolded, and watched Justin roll his eyes.

"Sorry, anyways, every thing you said about me not realizing. Did you
really wait for me to realize that we were meant together. I know you
always said that you loved me, but were you really willing to die alone
if you wouldn't have gotten me?" Justin asked, Josh almost sensed like he
was lost, and he could sense that Justin was upset about the topic.

"Come on baby, let's get you back in bed." Josh smiled and led Justin
into the bedroom. Shutting the door behind him, and he slid into bed, and
Justin followed. Bothing of them lying together, Josh resumed rubbing
Justin's stomach, and Justin resumed his position on Josh's chest. Hoping
for sleep, he waited for an answer from Josh. "Yes, I would have waited
for you. I could never have given my heart to any one else, no one but
you." Josh smiled, but soon felt pain as he heard Justin crying softly.
"Oh baby, what's wrong?" He asked, removing his hands from Justin's
stomach to wipe away the tears.

"I love you." Justin managed to say, and Josh just smiled.

"I know, and I love you too."

"But I'm sorry for not realizing I did when you first did. I made you
wait all those years, and you didn't even enjoy the people you dated."
Justin continued his crying, while Josh stroked his hair.

"It's okay, it's not your fault. The good thing is we are together, and
we love each other." Josh smiled, and wiped away the final tears flowing
from Justin's eyes. Justin relaxed again, and Josh took back to rubbing
his stomach. "Now I think some one needs to take a nap. You're much more
peaceful to watch when you sleep." Justin just smiled, his eyes already
shut. Josh's rubbing did the trick, and soon enough Justin was asleep,
his head still resting on Josh's chest, Josh's hands still rubbing his
stomach.

Knock!Knock!Knock!

"Hold on!" Lance hollered running to the door.

"Hey dude, sorry. You weren't answering and I just wanted to know if you
and Britt wanted to swim downstairs. I got the manager to close it off to
every one else, so it's all ours." Joey was standing with a broad smile
on the otherside of the door.

"I guess, we'll be down in twenty minutes." Lance replied, and shut the
door. Leaving Joey to go to the next room.

Knock!Knock!Knock!

"Yep?" Christina asked as she answered the door.

"Do you and Sam wanna come swimming with me, Chris, Britt and Lance?"
Joey asked with a smile. Christina smiled back, and thought it over.

"Yeah, how long until we have to meet you there?"

"Twenty minutes. See ya then." Joey smiled and rushed off. He loved it
when they did what he wanted to. Running to the next door, he laughed.
Thinking it over in his head, he gave serious thought on whether to even
bother knocking on their door. Figuring he had to at least ask to be
polite, he repeated his knocking pattern.

Knock!Knock!Knock!

"Shhh." Josh replied as he came to the door. Joey laughed, and Josh
wondered what was funny, until he looked down and realized he was still
only in his robe.

"What were you and Baby doing?" Joey asked with a wink following the
questions. Josh blushed.

"None of your business. And did you want something, or was the something
just waking up Justin and bothering me?" Josh asked, sarcasm thrown into
his voice.

"I didn't wake Justin, he's still sleeping." Joey giggled, confused why
Josh would say it if it wasn't true.

"Go away." Justin yelled, throwing a pillow at the door.

"Oh, sorry." Joey giggled again, and Josh just laughed. "Uh, I was kinda
wondering if you wanted to go to the pool with all of us."

"Whose all of us?" Josh asked, still smiling.

"Everyone on the tour. The gang, ya know, Chris, Lance, Britt, Chrissy,
and Samantha." Joey laughed.

"Alright, be down in ten." Josh smiled and shut the door.

"Cool." Joey screamed and rushed down the hall back to his room to get
ready.

____________________________________________________________________________

"What did you two get at the mall?" Brittney asked, as her raft came
into hearing distance of Christina and Samantha, who were sitting by the
pool side in chairs.

"I got a cool pair of pants and a shirt." Samantha smiled, and went back
to reading a magazine article.

"Not much, just a watch." Christina replied, holding up her arm to show
off the watch.

"That's cool." Brittney smiled politely, and dipped her hand into the
pool. She was in the shallow end, meanwhile Josh, Joey, Chris and Lance
were swimming in the deep end, and Justin was sitting on the diving board
with his feet dangling in.

"What did you do today?" Christina asked, wanting to keep the
conversation going. She was bored with her magazine, but didn't want to
be rude and make Samantha stop reading hers.

"Um, well Lance and I, we kinda, had sex." Brittney smirked, and got a
shocked look from Christina.

"Girl, when we leave this pool you are telling us all the details."
Christina exclaimed, and even Samantha was drawn out of her magazine at
the mention of the sexual intercourse between her and her boyfriend.

"Alright, but later." Brittney promised, and floated away.

____________________________________________________________________________

"Come on baby, get in." Josh begged, floated around the diving board.
Justin just smile and shook his head. He continued to dangle his feet in,
spreading them across the water every once in a while to make ripples
around Josh. "Please!" Josh begged again, stopping on the side and
pulling himself up a little.

"Nope. I'm not in the mood to swim. I would have liked to stay in the
room and snuggle, but some one said we had to swim." Justin moped,
crossing his arms to show even more that he was not happy with Josh's
decision to swim with the others.

"I had to say yes. Every one was going." Josh replied, dropping himself
back in the water.

"No you didn't. You could have told them I was sleeping." Justin shot
back, his arms still folded, his eyes shut. Josh gave him a nasty look,
knowing he couldn't see it and swam off. Justin surprised that Josh
hadn't replied to his comment, opened his eyes to find no Josh near him,
and only making him more upset.

"Why isn't Curly coming in?" Joey asked, as Josh came closer to him.

"He's upset that we're here. He wanted to continue sleeping." Josh
replied with a little anger himself.

"Oh. You guys didn't have to come if you didn't want to." Joey didn't
really mean what he was saying. He had really wanted them all to swim,
knowing that it was awkward for them to get together since the incident
with Chris. It was good for them all to be together, but they weren't.
The girls were by themselves, and Justin wasn't even in the pool with
them.  Joey smiled, and got a quick idea. "CHICKEN FIGHTS!" He hollered,
he knew that everyone in the group loved chicken fights.

Soon everyone but Justin was in the pool choosing partners. Lance had
Brittney on his shoulders. Sam had Christina on her shoulders, Joey had
Chris on his shoulders, and Josh was left to wait for Justin to get in.

"Come on Just. Josh is all alone." Lance hollered, and Justin finally got
in the pool. Swimming over, he allowed Josh to go under and positioned
himself on top of his shoulders. Once up, they waited, and Lance counted
down. "3....2....1..." And the battle began. With in no time Christina
was out. It was easy for her to be picked out because she was the only
girl/girl group. Brittney went next as the only other girl standing,
which left Chris and Justin against each other.

Joey made his way over towards Josh, and noticed Josh's frown. Looking up
he noticed that Justin too was frowning. Out of nowhere Josh acted like
he was slipping and soon Justin was under water leaving Chris and Joey
victorious. Joey wasn't sure if Chris knew why, but he assumed that it
was because Josh knew Justin didn't want to get near Chris. Shrugging it
off, he watched as Justin resumed his position on the diving board. Josh
followed and swam around it, while the girls remained in the deep end
with the guys.

"That wasn't so bad was it?" Josh asked, tickling the sole of Justin's
foot.

"yeah." Justin replied with little emotion in it. "I had to go up against
Chris in the end."

"I know, that's why I fell." Josh replied with a smile.

"thanks, I really didn't want to even try pushing him off." Justin
mumbled, as he stretched out, his head looking up at the ceiling of the
pool room.

"You're welcome." Josh could sense Justin was getting agitated with being
in the pool area. "Hey guys. Just and I are going back upstairs. We'll
see ya later." Josh hollered, and pulled himself out of the pool. Justin
smiled and walked off the diving board. Grabbing towels they headed back
upstairs.

____________________________________________________________________________

As soon as they were inside Josh slipped out of his bathing suit and into
a pair of boxer briefs, followed by a pair of pajama pants. Justin did
similiar, but remained in a pair of silk boxers. They both tossed on
tanktops, and Justin plopped down on the bed.

"You okay baby?" Josh asked, taking a seat on the bed next to him. Justin
just mumbled a yes, and rolled over to face his boyfriend.

"Josh, did you ever know Chris was bi before?" He asked, propping his
head up with his hands.

"Um, I guess I did. I could always tell he was at least curious, but I
just couldn't tell you guys about it. I mean, hell I didn't want to out
him if he wasn't ready to be outed." Josh replied.

"Would, you, ya know, ever date him?" His next question caught Josh off
guard, but Josh didn't show it.

"I don't think so baby. Number one, I don't date people that hit you, and
number 2, I'm never gonna date anyone but you again." Justin smiled at
the response, and Josh smiled back.

"Ya know what we never talked about? Even though we're bestfriends"
Justin asked, leaving Josh a little confused.

"What?"

"We always talked about my dates, but never yours. How come? I mean, you
don't have to answer if you don't want to." Justin could see that Josh
was a little nervous about discussing his dates, and quickly added that
for assurance.

"No, you should know about them. You know I've had sex before, so it
isn't anything new to you, right?" Josh asked, looking over at the
younger man.

"Yeah, I know." Justin replied while still keeping his gaze on Josh.

"Well, before you Justin, there were a lot of guys. A lot of sex, and
usually we never spoke to each other again." Josh answered the question,
and looked at his boyfriend again, this time he found a slight amount of
shock in the younger man, but didn't want to say anything until he had
responsded.

"Uh, uh, okay." Was all Justin responded, but he still kept his gaze on
Josh.

"You aren't upset are you?" Josh asked nervously.

"Nah, just a little shocked." Justin replied. "You, you didn't have sex
with Jim did you?" Justin asked and Josh turned towards the door, which
gave Justin an answer without words. When ever Josh couldn't tell the
truth, but hated to lie, he would turn away from the other person. So he
didn't have to meet them in the eyes.

"I'm sorry Justin."

"While I was crying, and realizing I loved you, you were out fucking some
guy." Justin almost muttered it to himself, but Josh heard it.

"I didn't know you were in love with me Baby. I was an ass for those two
days, I didn't even notice that you were in pain. I should have, but we
weren't dating, so it's not like I cheated on you or anything." Josh
replied to Justin's statement, and waited. Justin did not answer, but his
gaze on Josh did turn, as his face now just stared up at the ceiling.
Josh could hear slight trembles from the curly, blonde-haired boy sitting
next to him, and he knew that they were sounds made from tears. "I'm
sorry Justin, I love you." Josh said loudly, and leaned over,
instictively, even though Justin was upset at him, his response was to
fall into Josh, and he did just that.

And as Justin cried on Josh's shoulder, he could vividly make out a
muffled sound of I love you too. He smiled, and stroked Justin's back,
waiting for the tears to stop flowing.

Alright, I am sorry for the last few chapters before this one. I have
gotten a lot of negative feedback for the Brittney and Lance chapter,
even though I warned every one first. I am sorry about that, and that is
why I wrote this one quicker then I wanted to. I was hoping to make up to
you guys.
