¤ Stuck On You ¤
Chapter Twelve

Justin woke up late the next morning. He wasn’t one to sleep in for very long; waking up at 11am was okay after the night he had. Tossing and turning through out the night wasn’t something he wanted to do, he just couldn’t help it. Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes he sat up and stretched out his sore arms and legs. He yawned a few times before letting his feet hit the carpet. It didn’t even phase him when he seen a cat run across the room into the bathroom with him. It didn’t phase him until he stepped on something and heard a cat shrieked.

“What the hell… SMILES what are you doing in here?” Justin asked picking up the cat whose tail he had stepped on. He opened the bathroom door when it all came flying to him. “What the hell, you don’t live here? Is Adrea here?” Justin asked as he walked towards the bedroom door.

He slowly opened the bedroom door petting the cat and talking to her.

“You know it isn’t nice to run into bathrooms with people in them. Who is here with you? Did Adrea bring you over trying to give you back to me?” Justin laughed at the thought of Adrea bringing the cat back for him to have.

He was about to say more but stopped when he noticed all the guys were sitting in his front room. Joey was sitting on the floor with Hailee playing Barbies; Chris was playing with some LEGOS. Lance was talking to Sarah about something making her smile and laugh. Justin didn’t realize he was staring at the way she smiled and laughed until JC walked out of the kitchen talking to Adrea who was sitting on the couch.

“Oh hey, about time you woke up!” JC said turning around and walking back into the kitchen.

“How did you guys get into my house?” Justin asked as he followed JC into the kitchen.

Adrea got up off the couch and started into the kitchen, she knew Justin would want to know why they were all there. She had to help JC out just a little in this one.

“If you forgot, you gave Sarah a key when you got the house.” JC said as he flipped the grilled cheese on the burner.

Justin watched as he took a plate from the cabinet and putting the grilled cheese on it.

“Why are you here then? I just seen you all for months on end last night, why are you here at 11am?” Justin asked with a slight yawn, not fully awake yet.

“We all got a call from Johnny and Jive.” JC said as he got into the refrigerator to get the kool-aid Adrea had made an hour earlier out.

“I never got a call from any one. So I don’t know what you are talking about? Are we going to go over seas or something? No because Sarah, Adrea and Hailee are here… so what is up?” Justin asked looking at JC and now at Adrea who had stepped in to the kitchen only moments ago.

“After a statement from Justin Timberlake saying he was dating Sarah Chasez for over a year, there are public photos of Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears going out together.” Adrea said, “Jive called me up, Johnny called me up. They are both freaking out over this whole ordeal. As your personal reporter and public relations I’m supposed to set the record straight.” Adrea said before she could go on JC stepped in and help, just in case Justin would be to up set over what was going on.

“Jive and Johnny have been talking, they both think you should go public, public with the real girl. Either the girl you said you have been dating, or the girl that has told the press you two are getting married.” JC said

“Why, I’d take Britney, I mean after all she likes me to be around. We are getting married.” Justin laughed now fully awake. Looked at JC when he didn’t say anything and didn’t look like he was going to say anything he started to talk until a voice behind him stopped him?

“She wants you around for the press. You are fifty times bigger then she is. If seen in the public with you her CD sells a few thousand more. She uses you for your fame.” Sarah said leaning up against the door frame where she had been standing the whole time.

“You care because?” Justin asked with a bitter laugh

“A promise is a promise Justin, I’m not going to die knowing a let anyone down. Let alone let you down. You don’t like Britney; you never have liked her. Not even on MMC when she told you she loved you! So don’t you even say you want to take her? You aren’t taking her, I’ll go with you, and it’s only an award show. I’ve seen them on TV and I’ve been to one with you guys before. What’s the big deal, get asked a few questions, pose for a few photos, take our sets sit next to each other. Big deal, and don’t even think you are going to take that damn girl.” Sarah said

Justin was more then going to take Sarah; he didn’t want Britney to go with him. He just wanted to smile and hug the small girl standing at the door; however, he couldn’t bring his eyes to meet hers. Not after she freaked out on him the day before. He actually went out on a date with Britney Spears because he wanted Sarah out of his thoughts.

He walked towards her and stopped a few feet from her, he slowly leaned him and whispered loudly into her ear.

“Are you sure I’m not in the way. I might make your boyfriend break up with you. Oh damn I already did that, didn’t I!” Justin laughed as he walked passed her out of the kitchen.
