Subject: Next Window Please - Chapter 25

This is it...the end...but, I promise all the guys will be back in my next
story, which is tentatively titled "Hold the Pickle" (That's a Joey
reference from the same song this story's title came from)...cheesy title I
know, but the story will be along the same lines...so look out for it.  But,
first e-mail me and let me know how you like how this one wrapped up.
Finally, thanks to everyone who has sent me feedback and encouragement -
it's really great!

As usual, no illegal viewing and everyone is this story is unknown to me and
that means so are their true life choices...this story is fake, made up, not
real and nothing I say should be implied to be fact.  So, one more time -
Enjoy!

Chapter 25 - (He) was my once in a lifetime, happy ending come true

	"I can't find it!"
	Lance was racing around the hotel suite, frantically throwing
pillows and sheets around.  He was extremely upset and none of the other
guys seemed to be any help.
	JC was trying to calm him, "Hon, we've checked here three times.  I
don't think it's around.  Are you sure you didn't pack it?"
	Lance stopped and practically yelled at Josh, "No!  I always wear
it.  Why would I have packed it?"
	JC's face changed from compassion to hurt and he slinked out of the
bedroom.  Lance sighed and mentally slapped himself.  JC was only trying to
be rational.  He hadn't taken Lance's ring.  No one took it.  It was simply
lost and he didn't know if he could ever find it.  And it wasn't just any
ring.  It was his ring.  The ring he bought himself when they first struck
it big.  It was his symbol of his success and he never took it off, except
to shower.  But, he didn't have it this morning when he woke up and he
didn't know when he had taken it off.
	The truth was, he didn't remember much about the previous night -
at least no small specifics.  It was their last night in LA.  They were
flying back to the East Coast in a couple of hours and in the rush this
morning, Lance hadn't even paid attention to the fact that he didn't have
his ring on.  They were going to spend the next few days in New York, doing
Good Morning America and then finishing up rehearsal for the show, which
started in a little over a week.  So, they had spent the night partying.
All the guys and their significant others went club hopping.  Lance even
found himself on the dance floor a few times.  And occasionally, he would
grind with JC, although never too seriously and never for too long.
	Still, Lance liked being with JC and when everyone kept buying
rounds of drinks, he couldn't refuse and before he knew it, he was trashed.
He vaguely remembered standing on the bar at one place, pouring shots down
everyone's throats (he wondered how much that bar tab was).  He also
remembered the limo ride home, where he mooned a couple of cars (which was
pointless since their limo had tinted windows).  And he fondly remembered
having sex with JC.  And it was definitely sex.  Hot, wild and aggressive.
He was extremely horny upon returning home and barely made it into the
bedroom before he tore JC's clothes off and ravaged his body.  Neither had
said a word as JC fucked Lance.  There was only the grunting and moaning.
It was pure lust and Lance loved it.
	Lance also loved the softer side with JC.  In fact, he loved
everything about JC.  And right now he had hurt him and he wasn't happy
with himself.  He had checked the room over and over and the ring wasn't
here.  He knew it and so did everyone else.  He had lost it somewhere
during his night of debauchery and he probably wouldn't ever see it again.
	He sat on the bed and almost felt himself crying.  It was just a
stupid ring and here he was, getting emotional about it.  He knew it wasn't
just the ring - it was what it meant.  When he bought it, NSYNC was just
starting to become the phenoms they had developed into.  It was the
beginning of a new phase for Lance.  A phase that eventually led him down
the road to love with Josh.
	He pulled himself together when he heard a knock on the door.  JC
stuck his head in, "We better get going if we're gonna make the plane".
	Lance nodded and patted the bed next to him.  JC came in and sat
down.  Lance put a hand on his knee, "I'm sorry I'm being such a prick
today."
	JC understood, "I know how much that ring means to you.  You never
take it off, not even during sex".
	Lance smiled, "I did somewhere along the lines last night".
	"You'll see your ring again, I promise," JC said and Lance believed
him.
	JC rubbed Lance's back, "You ready?  The guys are already in the
lobby".
	Lance got up and grabbed his jacket, following JC out of the hotel
suite.  Down in the lobby, the others stood there, waiting for the limo to
get them to take them to the airport.  Joey and Chris were thumb wrestling
and Justin was just sitting there, dead to the world.  He apparently hadn't
had his cereal this morning and Lance just hoped he wasn't seated next to
him on the plane.
	The limo arrived and Lance reluctantly followed the others inside.
As the hotel disappeared from his view, his sadness increased.  But, he
didn't want to worry anyone and threw a slight smile at JC when he put his
hand on his knee to check on him.  Lance stared out of the window, watching
LA become smaller and smaller and wondering when he would be returning.

	The airport was crowded.  It was a Friday morning and everyone was
rushing out to start their weekends.  Luckily, the VIP entrance allowed the
guys to avoid the crowd and they were ushered into a private lounge area
until their plane started boarding.  The guys received their boarding
passes and Lance was relieved to see he was sitting alone with JC in a
first-class row.  At least he would have something to keep his spirits up
as they took off.
	JC was rubbing Lance's hand when he got a call on the cell phone.
He got up to leave and Joey came over to him.
	"I'm sure you're ring will turn up Scoop," he offered.
	Lance smiled, "Thanks, Joe.  I'm sure it will," Lance noticed that
Joey wasn't quite as chipper as he had been the previous day and asked him,
"Missing Drew?"
	Joey nodded, "Yeah.  I'm not gonna see him until next weekend and
then the tour starts and who knows how long it'll be before I see him
again.  You're lucky because your man gets to come with you wherever you
go".
	Lance laughed, "Well, maybe we can do another Boys of Summer tour
and pair up with 98 Degrees".
	"I don't see that happening, but good idea," Joey replied.  Lance
offered him a reassuring smile and looked up to see JC returning.  Joey got
up and went over to the pay phone, Lance assumed to call Drew one last
time.
	"Who was that?" Lance asked, indicating the phone.
	JC responded, "Oh, just some business stuff.  Nothing exciting."
	Lance nodded and laid his head on JC's shoulder.  A few minutes
later, an airport employee came into the lounge and told them that they
could board the plane.  They got on and found their seats.  Lance still
didn't like flying, but was glad JC was next to him to keep him calm.  JC
always seemed to make things okay.
	About an hour into the flight, they hit some turbulence and Lance
felt the turkey sandwich he had for lunch not sitting too well with his
stomach.  He excused himself and made it to the lavatory, where he tried to
calm his tummy.  Soon, the sickness subsided and Lance splashed some cold
water on his face.  He heard a knock at the door and ignored it.  The
occupied sign was obviously showing and if the moron on the other side
couldn't read it, he didn't feel he needed to respond.
	Again the knocking came, but this time he heard JC meekly muttering
Lance's name.  Lance opened the door and JC barged into the tiny room, "Are
you okay?"
	Lance shut the door and tried to position himself so he wasn't
squeezing against JC too tight (although he did like that).  "I'm okay.
Just a little air sickness, but it passed".
	"Good," JC replied as he wrapped his arms around Lance and pulled
him into a kiss, "I was thinking maybe we could join the mile high club
today".
	Lance giggled, "You're kidding, right?"
	JC shook his head no and kissed Lance again.  Lance backed up, "Are
you crazy?  This plane is full.  There are people right outside the door".
	JC lowered his hand and grabbed Lance's crotch, "I can be quiet.
Can you?"
	Lance didn't reply, but instead decided to play JC's game.  He also
lowered his hand down to JC's crotch and grabbed the zipper, lowering it
slowly.  He placed his hand through the open fly and cupped JC's hardening
cock through his briefs.  JC bit his lip to keep back a whimper and Lance
continued fondling JC.
	JC fought back by undoing Lance's belt and button on his pants.  He
reached behind Lance and slipped his hand down his jeans so that a finger
was rubbing against his crack.  Lance halted his cupping for a moment, but
wouldn't give in.  Lance also undid JC's button and quickly pushed his
pants and underwear to the floor.  Lance dropped down and took JC into his
mouth.  JC couldn't help himself and after a minute or so, he let out an
audible moan.
	Lance stopped and stood up, "Guess you lose, huh?"
	JC pulled up his pants, "If you call getting a blow job losing".
	He kissed JC on the cheek and let himself out of the bathroom.
Lance buttoned up his jeans and soon followed JC back to their seats.
Luckily, no one was in line at the restroom, so they weren't spotted.  But,
as he sat down, he saw Joey's smug look and knew that he knew something was
up.  Lance just smiled and settled into his chair.

	A few hours and one really bad in-flight movie later, the plane
landed at La Guardia and the guys were ushered out first and shown to the
special exit, where a limo awaited.  They rode over to their hotel, with
Chris the whole time expressing his excitement about being on Good Morning
America, since he had this strange obsession for Diane Sawyer.  Justin
eventually smacked Chris on the head, "Dude!  We get it.  You have the hots
for Diane Sawyer".
	Chris sat back, pouting, "I'm just happy to be going that's all".
	Joey smiled at Chris, "So, do you ever think about her when you're
with Dani?"
	Chris' expression changed to anger, "Shut up, Joe!  Dani is all I
think about with her, just like all you think about is Drew when you beat
off in your room every night".
	Joey punched Chris in the arm, "I don't do that".
	JC jumped in, "Yeah Chris, you know Joey only beats off in the
shower".
	Joey began sulking, and the rest of the ride was quiet.  But, by
the time they got to their suite, all was forgotten and Chris was soon
challenging Joey to a battle on the Playstation.  Justin, Lance and JC went
out onto the balcony to take in the crisp fall air.
	Justin had spent their last night with Britney and Lance, ever the
nosy one, had to ask him, "So, J, how did things go last night with
Britney?"
	Justin blushed and JC silenced Lance, "Honey, that's their
business".
	Justin held up his hand, "Naw, it's okay.  We had a really nice
time, considering we both passed out about five minutes after we walked in
the room.  We were both kinda trashed".
	"We all were," Lance stated, remembering his lost ring.
	Justin smirked, "But you guys weren't too trashed to rock the
walls.  I'm surprised I could sleep with the racket you guys were causing."
	Now it was Lance who blushed.  JC hugged Lance tight, "Yeah, this
guy is an animal".
	Justin grabbed Lance on the shoulder and then headed back inside.
Lance's hand found JC's and they stood there, admiring the view in silence
for a few minutes when JC's phone rang.  JC answered it, and walked inside.
Lance stood there, staring at the small cars and people ten floors below
them.  He contemplated spitting on them, but thought that a little
immature.
	A minute later, JC walked in, "So, I was thinking we could go to
the Russian Tea Room for dinner tonight".
	"Fancy," Lance replied, "A special occasion?"
	JC grabbed Lance by the waist, "Every night is a special occasion
with you".
	Lance also wrapped his arms around JC and pulled him into a long,
passionate kiss.  JC told them he had reservations in a couple of hours and
he wanted to get in a quick nap.  Lance joined him, holding JC close as
they dozed.
	About eight, the two got dressed in suits and climbed in the limo.
They made it to the restaurant in a couple of minutes, where they were
seated immediately.  They ordered their food, and Lance noticed the whole
time JC had a big grin on his face.
	So, he asked, "What's with the Cheshire Cat grin?"
	JC shrugged, "I'm just in a good mood, that's all".
	"Any particular reason?" Lance inquired.
	JC wavered and then said, "Well, okay.  I was gonna wait until
dessert to give it to you, but I want you to have it now".
	Lance look confused and JC pulled a box out of his pocket.  He slid
it across the table and Lance instantly recognized it as a jewelry box.  Or
more specifically, a ring box.  He looked at JC and grabbed the box,
opening it.  Inside was the last thing he expected to see: his ring.
	"Is this my ring?" Lance asked, wondering if it was a copy.  Then
he noticed the slight dent in one side he had made in it a few months
earlier and knew it was, "Where'd you find it?"
	JC grabbed Lance's hand, "Well, remember when I said I would check
the limo? I found it in there."
	Lance was suddenly a little upset, "You mean you let me worry like
that and you had it all the time?"
	JC shook his head, "No!  I didn't actually have it all that time.
No, I sent it out to get some work done.  That's what was up with all the
phone calls today".
	Lance again looked confused and JC pointed to the inside of the
ring.  Lance looked and saw a new inscription on the inside.  It simply
read in tiny letters: JSC & JLB - a love that will never be lost.
	Lance felt tears well up in his eyes as JC helped him put the ring
on, "I love you so much, Lance."
	Lance wanted to lean over the table and kiss JC, but knew he
couldn't.  So, instead, he calmly replied, "Me too.  I love you more than I
ever thought I could".
	Lance didn't really even remember the meal.  Nor did he remember
what they talked about.  He was just so happy and touched by JC's gift,
that everything was a blur.
	When they made it back to the hotel, there was a note for Lance
from Justin: Me, Joe and Chris went clubbing.  Hope you liked the ring.
	Lance turned to JC, "You told Curly?"
	JC began leading Lance into the bedroom, "I had to tell someone and
Chris and Joe are big blabbermouths".
	JC was right and as they walked in the room, he never wanted JC
more than he did right then.  He wanted JC to love him.  So, he turned to
JC as he shut the door, "I want you to make love to me, Josh."
	JC brushed his hand along Lance's cheek, "And I want to".
	Lance kissed JC and soon they were locked in a passionate embrace.
JC leaned back enough as they kissed, so Lance could undo his tie and
unbutton his shirt.  He pulled it open, revealing JC's bare chest.  Lance
ran a hand through the light hair and pinched on of JC's nipples.  JC's
hands lowered and cupped Lance's ass.
	They continued to kiss as JC let his shirt fall to the floor.
Soon, Josh was undoing Lance's shirt and a minute later they were both
locked together, their exposed chests pressing against each other.
	Lance could feel JC's hard cock pressing against his thigh and
wanted to feel it, to taste it.  So, he undid JC's pants and let them fall
to the floor as he had in the plane earlier that day.  He smiled at JC,
"Ready for a little deja vu?"
	JC nodded, "Only this time, we're gonna complete the transaction".
	Lance nodded back and slipped to his knees.  JC stepped out of his
pants and underwear and was now naked in front of Lance.  Lance ran his
tongue along JC's inner thighs, brushing his balls with his cheek.  JC was
moaning and Lance wanted him to scream.  They were all alone and he wanted
to be as loud as possible.
	Lance continued licking JC around his crotch, giving minimal
attention to his hard cock.  He stuck his tongue in JC's bellybutton and
began lowering himself until his tongue lightly licked the head of JC's
member.  JC let out a louder moan and whispered to Lance, "Please".
	Lance complied and opened his mouth, surrounding JC's cock.  He
took it all in, sucking furiously.  JC was pumping in and out slightly and
his hands found Lance's hair.  He caressed Lance's head as the blond
engulfed the long shaft of his lover.  JC began pumping harder and Lance
backed off, not wanting him to come just yet.
	He stood up and kissed JC, both of them tasting the salty precum
from JC's penis.  JC led Lance to the bed and lowered him onto it.  JC
mounted Lance and began kissing his smooth chest, concentrating on his hard
nipples.  He slid down to his lower torso and hungrily kissed Lance's hips.
Lance was enjoying the teasing, but wanted JC to take him in his mouth; so,
he grabbed JC's head and guided it to his aching cock.  JC grabbed the
shaft with one hand and then placed his lips around the head.  He lowered
his mouth down until he had the whole thing in his mouth, upon which he
started moving up and down.  Lance could feel himself on the verge of
orgasm, but tried to hold off to relish this moment for as long as
possible.
	Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and he again grabbed JC's
head, bringing him back up to his awaiting mouth.  He licked his palm and
reached down and gripped JC's cock, coating it with his saliva.  He then
guided it down to his hole.  JC positioned himself between Lance's legs and
placed the head of his cock against Lance's butt.  He lightly inserted the
tip and then forced it in, sending a bolt of pleasure mixed with pain
through him.  JC slowly inserted his entire length into Lance and when he
felt his pelvis press against Lance, he stopped, giving his lover a second
to get accustomed to him.
	Soon, Lance was ready and gave JC a look telling him to start
fucking him.  JC began rhythmically moving in and out of Lance, who had
grabbed his own cock and was stroking it slowly.  A few beads of sweat were
now appearing across JC's forehead as his moaning increased in volume and
frequency.  Lance was sweating himself and raised one hand to feel the
light veil of perspiration that coated his lover's chest.  He squeezed one
of JC's nipples, causing him to moan again
	JC was now pumping harder and Lance ran his hands down JC's back,
lowering him, so JC's rhythms would cause his stomach to rub against with
Lance's cock.  Lance's hands made their way to JC's firm butt and he
squeezed his buns lightly sending JC over the edge.  Lance felt JC's jizz
fill him up and soon the friction of JC's tummy caused him to shoot his own
load, which coated both of their chests.
	JC collapsed on top of Lance, causing Lance's come to ooze down his
sides.  But, Lance didn't care.  He was so spent, he never wanted to move
from this position.  Finally, JC climbed off of him and hopped into the
bathroom.  He tossed Lance a towel and turned on the shower.  Lance wiped
himself dry and sat up on the bed.
	He called out to JC, "You want anything to drink?"
	JC responded from the shower, "Yeah, some water would be great".
	Lance stood up and casually walked into the quiet living room.  He
went to the fridge and poured a glass of water for JC.  He was just about
at the bedroom door, when the front door burst open and Justin, Joey and
Chris burst in.
	"There's a full moon out tonight!" Joey cried as the three walked
in.  Lance spun around and quickly lowered the glass to cover his privates.
	"Back so soon?" Lance stammered out.
	Justin smiled as he shut the door, "Yeah, too many people
recognized us, so we had to get out of there."  Joey leaned against the
kitchen counter, "Looks like you had a good night".
	"Jealous?" JC asked, coming up behind Lance, still naked and
dripping wet.
	"Hell yes!" Joey cried as he tried to throw a seductive glare at
JC.
	Chris picked up a blanket off the couch and tossed it at the nude
guys, "Dudes! Cover up!  Nobody wants to see that!" he headed into his
bedroom, "Why do I always have to see Scoop's naked ass?"
	Joey and Justin laughed and waved goodnight to the guys, heading
off to their own rooms.  Lance turned around and handed JC the glass,
"Here's your water.  And thanks for coming out so I wasn't the only naked
skinny white boy."
	JC took a sip, "I just wanted to make sure you didn't get dressed
or anything.  Because I'm not tired yet".
	Lance grabbed JC's water and hugged him, feeling JC's penis growing
between them, "And you call me an animal!"
	JC looked at Lance and seductively leaned in, then into his ear, he
whispered, "Bow Wow!"
	Lance looked down at JC's now-hard cock, and playfully grabbed it,
"Guess I don't need to ask 'Who let the dogs out', huh?"
	"It's all you, dear," JC said as he led Lance back into the
bedroom.
	Later that night, as they cuddled in bed, Lance thought to himself
how lucky he was to have someone like JC in his life.  And how much he
looked forward to spending the remainder of it with him.  Lance and JC.  A
love that will never be lost.

I suck at writing endings, so I'm sorry this is so sappy and silly, but I
didn't want it to be too final, since I am in effect continuing this story
down the road.  I hope you enjoyed my obsessions as much as I did (and
still do) and continue to enjoy some of the great stuff on this
site...Adios for now!
