Chapter 3

Justin hadn't been back for a whole week. JC would be lying if he said he wasn't glad. But he'd also be lying if he said he wasn't a little curious as to his friend's behavior and what had caused that kiss.

But the moment his insides started getting tingly and his smile started to appear he rushed the feelings away.

Jared, though, had been attending Justin's house frequently and JC was alittle unnerved by that.

Jared came home every night gushing about how he and Justin were so much a like and how he was going back tomorrow and blah blah fucking blah.

Now, JC lie on his deck, in some trunks and a hat. His dog, Cujo by his feet. It was a beautiful day and JC was taking advantage of it. He was pale.

"JC!" Jared's voice was loud.

"What?" he answered, not bothering to open his eyes.

"We're using the pool."

"Whatev-" JC thought about it. We? He opened his eyes to see Jared run towards the pool, do a cannon ball and then towards Justin who walked over, a grin on his face. "Shit." JC breathed as Justin walked with such finesse it seemed as if the younger man was putting on a show.

"Join us." Justin was talking to him and JC shook his head slowly, his eyes glued to the blonde's lean form. It had been too long.

"Why didn't y'all go to your pool?"

Justin laid down his towel and took off his sunglasses. "Jared wanted to come here."

JC pursed his lips. Justin sat down on the edge of the chair. When had Justin become so forward?

"JC! Justin! Come in. Now!" Jared yelled and Justin winked at JC before bolting from his seat and diving into the pool, making a small effortless splash.

JC watched them, discretely of course. He watched them play, and splash and he smiled because it looked fun.

"You're missin' out, C!" Jared yelled and then got dunked by a giggling Justin. JC smiled and turned his attention to his dog that was nuzzling his foot.

"Hey, sweetie." he cooed and then looked up, staring at Justin's form as he rose to sit on the cement deck surrounding his pool.

He watched as Justin smiled towards the sun, his arms supporting him. He shook his head, water flying from his curls and then he looked down again. His face was serious and his cheek bones stood out, the water glistening on his cheeks. His eyes were dark and mysterious and his mouth was pursed slightly, a sliver of darkness peeked from the inside of his mouth. His face was boyishly manly. God, he was great looking.

JC looked around and cleared his throat. He needed to be careful.

"JC?" Jared called out in the dark house. He walked up the long stairs, and then turned around holding a finger up to Justin who was standing in the door way, a little shy. "JC!!" he called out and was satisfied when a door opened, and he could hear muttering.

"What the hell! I was showering!" JC complained as he stomped out, completely nude. Jared leered and then licked his lips.

"I can see." he smiled and then moved to the side. When he turned around, he wasn't surprised to see Justin's wide eyes.

"Oh holy shit!" JC yelled as he grabbed Jared by the shoulders and shielded himself from Justin's big eyes. "Why the fuck... you little fucker. Oh my god." JC was panting now, red to the tip of his scalp as he rushed into his room. Jared turned to Justin. "Nice view wasn't it?"

Justin tried to hide his smile and then just gave up and grinned at the young man. "I owe you one." he laughed.

JC came out a few minutes decked out in a long sleeved shirt and some flannel pajama pants. It really wasn't that cold but he didn't want Justin seeing any part of his body.

"So, what are yall doin'?" he asked going to the refrigerator, grabbing the milk and putting it on the counter.

Jared strolled by and grabbed the carton bringing it to his lips. JC turned around and narrowed his eyes at the missing carton.

"I swear I had just- Jared! Fuck, if I have to tell you one more time..." JC groaned as he ripped the box from Jared's hands. Jared smiled.

"So JC." Justin started and hopped up onto the counter. "How have you been?"

JC turned to the side and looked at Justin with a raised eyebrow. "Um... good." he said warily and Justin chuckled slightly.

"Yeah, its not like I'm going to rape you any time soon, you can stop being so paranoid." he laughed and JC smiled slightly because he had missed Justin's laugh and dammit he wasn't ready to admit that.

"Whatever." he said gruffly before grabbing his... he looked down into his bowl of milk and rolled his eyes. Yeah, he was so smooth sometimes. He started to go anyway but Justin grabbed his arm and he distantly realized Jared was no where in sight.

"What do you mean, ‘whatever'? JC." he said and JC sighed. Justin frowned and JC looked up. "Look, JC, it was just a freakin' kiss. I am sorry if I offended you or anything I just..." he stopped and his grip suddenly softened and it was gentle, like a caress now. "I don't wanna be all like," he stopped again and then looked at JC with a smile, his eyes glinting slightly.

JC stood, staring and probably drooling because Justin was looking so incredibly sexy and innocent standing beside him, his smile blinding.

Justin stepped closer, his hands pressing the bowl of milk away before they smoothed up JC's arms, their warmth scalding JC. He shuddered and stepped forward against the warning voices in his head. The ones that told him to stop before he got caught up and then in the end, realized this was all a joke.

Justin grinned, and his breath swept over JC's face. When had he gotten so close? Well, it wasn't important now because Justin was leaning in, his eyes tempting, his lips shimmering.

JC felt himself losing. Felt himself being pulled to Justin, knowing Justin had him right where he wanted.

They were close, their noses brushing against each others and JC's eyes fluttered closed at the contact. Just a little bit closer...

The bowl fell to the floor with a loud thud and a noisy splash seconds afterwards and JC snapped back to reality, lurching back from Justin.

His face was pink and he was hot from head to toe. He felt like he had gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

"S-sorry." he mumbled and Justin looked almost regretful but then that smile, that sexy smile was back in place and the blonde didn't look affected at all.

"Next time, maybe." he smiled and JC was left staring after him, wishing away the voice in his head. Wishing Justin would come back and they finish what he so desperately wanted to start.
