Chapter Eight "Hey Chris can I come in for a sec?" "It's not really a good time, I'm kinda busy." He said backing further behind the door. "Chris what are you doing?" "Nothing, I'll see you at dinner ok?" "Uh...ok." I said shaking my head as I walked away. I tried the door on the other side of Joey's and Lance answered. "Hey Lance can I come in for a minute?" "Sure Tiff, come on in." He said opening the door and stepping aside. JC was sitting on the couch smiling guiltily. "Here's your top Tiff." He said handing it to me. "Everyone really liked it." "Oh I'm so glad I got your approval." I said taking it from him. "I've got bigger fish to fry though, Joey took off with my bra...." As soon as I said it I regretted it. "Bra???" Lance exclaimed smiling. "How exactly did Joey get ahold of your bra?" "You guys have dirty minds." I said punching him lightly. "It's new, he took it out of my bag. The reason I'm here is to see if there's an adjoining door." "Yep, right over here." Lance stated opening his door a crack." Joey's is open too." He whispered. I snuck up to the door and peeked in. Joey was sitting in a chair facing the window. I creeped up behind him and put my hands over his eyes. "The only person I know that smells that good is.....Justin!" He yelled jumping up and grabbing me around the waist "What do you think you're doing?" He asked looking at me intently. "I want my bra back." I whispered a little flustered, more than I wanted to be. "Can't I keep it, like a suvenier?" He grinned. "You do smell really good by the way." He whispered leaning into my hair and taking a deep breath. The movement caused me to jerk back suddenly. "Sorry, I got caught up in the moment." He smiled. "It's ok." I replied shakily stepping back. "Um...can I have my bra now?" "Huh? Oh yeah...sure." He grabbed it out of the chair and tossed it to me. "We'll be down for dinner in a few." "Ok, hurry up cause I'm starving." I went back to my room trying to figure out what had just happened. No one had made my insides melt like that in so long. It's that, my stomach hurts but in a good way thing. The guys showed up a little while later and we ordered dinner. A few minutes later there was a knock on the door, when I opened it Carly was standing on the other side. "CARLY!! What are you doing here?!" I screamed throwing my arms around her. "I got a phone call this morning right after I talked to you. Some guy named Joey, said that I should come today he arranged it and here I am!" She laughed. I turned slowly and Joey was looking at me nervously. "You did this for me?" I asked running to him and throwing my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. He was not ready for this and he fell back onto the bed. "Thank you so much Joe." I whispered, kissing him softly on the cheek. "You have no idea what this means to me." "I do know what it means to you." He said pushing away some hair that had fallen into my eyes. "I saw how you lit up when you talked to her, and talked about her." He grinned. "But you owe me....big." "Oh really?" I said grinning mischevously. Suddenly Chris coughed behind us and I was snapped back to the present. |
