Chapter Eleven "Take it easy Tiff, it's just me." JC said sitting on the opposite bed. "What am I doing here? How could I fall asleep here?" "You were exhausted, but when I fell asleep you were still in your room. What happened?" Before I could tell him there was a knock on the door and Carly and Chris came in. "Well you two might as well sit down too." I sighed. I told them all what had happened. They were shocked but Carly and JC both had relieved looks on their faces too. "So how do you feel?" "I'm still trying to figure that out myself." I laughed. "Hey Carly, these guys have a full day ahead of them. I was thinking you and I could go shopping?" "Sounds like fun to me, damage to my credit card is always a good thing." She laughed and got up to go back to our room and change. Chris followed and JC was close behind. "Hey, wake up cutie." I whispered in Joey's ear softly. "Not yet." He sighed. Suddenly reaching up and pulling me into his arms. "Why don't you stay here with me a little longer?" He breathed into my ear, giving me the chills up and down my spine. I snuggled back into him a little, not sure if he was awake and knew what was going on or not. He was sliding his hands up and down my back and then down my leg. He turned onto his side and pulled my leg up so that it rested on top of his. My whole body was on fire. I was having a hard time breathing. All of this from a simple touch? I thought. How could this be? I tried to pull away but he gripped me tighter nuzzling his face into my neck and kissing it softly. "Joe. Stop, please." I gasped suddenly pushing him away. "Tiff? Why are you pushing me?" He asked groggily turning over and noticing my leg on him and his hand gripping my leg. "Uh...sorry..." He blushed releasing my leg. I jumped up quickly, flushed and confused by what had just happened. "No biggie. Must have been a good dream you were having though." I winked and walked out of the room. "What do you...?" I shut the door before he could finish. When I got into the hall I leaned against the door, trying to calm myself down before facing Carly. She could see right through me, and I was too confused to face that. Was it just a dream? I could have sworn I heard him whisper my name. I'm just being paranoid. I finally decided and turned to go to my room. "Paranoid about what?" Justin asked coming into the hallway. "Oh, did I say that out loud?" Damnit, note to self: kick me later! "How did you sleep?" "Great, but what are you being paranoid about?" "Nothing really I was just thinking out loud I guess. I gotta get ready to go, girls day out and all. See you tonight." I slid past him and down the hall to my room. I shut the door and breathed a sigh of relief. As I walked into the bedroom I stopped short, there leaning against the wall were Chris and Carly, kissing! I tried to back out before they saw me but I tripped over a table. The both looked up quickly. "Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt." I blushed. "Oh..Tiff....didn't expect you back already." Carly blushed and Chris grinned. "No I just came to get a few things, I'll meet you downstairs in say...hour and a half?" I said grabbing some clothes and makeup. "Sounds good, see ya then." I turned and practically ran from the room. When I opened the door Joey was standing there ready to knock. "Hey, I was just coming to talk to you." He said, blushing slightly. "Where are you going?" He asked looking at the things in my hands. "Just need to change, my room is kinda occupied." I said looking up at him and grinning. |
